Who Thought Adding Difficulty Levels To Instanced Quests Was A Good Idea?

[Mahoukenshi]

No comment on mental but there's a guy in my fc with cerebral palsy who has to play one handed. He is able to clear the solo content without that much issue.

I feel like this is a bad idea. The instances as they are barely ask anything of the player. If you know how to play your class and aren't horribly under geared, you should have little issue clearing msq content. I'm still confused by people who had trouble with Zenos. I cleared him first attempt, and I'm not a savage raider or anything. There was one player I remember who couldn't clear I think it was Zenos, and it turns out they were just spamming riot blade.

I don't think its too much for the game to expect you to understand how to play your class on a basic level 100+ hours into the game

You =!= everyone else.

I see they took and used my idea for a suggestion to add difficulty settings to main story fights. They just didn't add hard mode and very hard mode to them. This help those that have bad connections and that is handicap. Like me with bad hands.

You know it's gonna be a great patch when most of the complaints are about a helpful feature being added.

That has to be one of the dumbest ideas ever because it basically gives a free pass, especially for new players who were just given an excuse to not make an effort in playing the game. If someone from Square Enix came up with this idea, they need to be fired.

Some Players: I want to play a Massively Multiplayer Online game with thousands and thousands of other players from all walks of life!

The Same Players: I want a game that's just for me and those I personally approve of!

You forgot about the forced npc fights where have to play as a scion npc or shb job class quest as a npc. Not everyone has same handicap.

Welcome to the forums. Where people demonstrate just how easy it is to make mountains out of ant hills.

I genuinely can't wrap my head around this "outrage".

I thought it was universally agreed that when it came to people's solo experience, no one gave a damn, you do you. You wanna do ice mage, mute bard, cheese something, etc, on your own or with people agreed with you beforehand, no problem,

Instanced quests are literally solo content. Literally the content that I thought unversally, no one gave a damn how people played it cause it bore no bearing on them.

Clearly, I was wrong and people do care about what people do in SOLO content.

Take a Like for giving me a good laugh.

I've just read Berethos post on the other thread and explains that the difficulty adjustment is nothing more than the player given the choice whether to use the Echo buff and by how much. Link: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...=1#post5211379

So... much ado about nothing really. Just the usual bashing of hardcore players vs casuals.

Ehm 70 lvl jump potion, ekhm ekhm.

Right, because that hasn't had any lasting negative effects on game design, nor even the slightest bit of community controversy...

What?! People are having FUN in MY precious ffxiv and aren't playing the way I want them to?! That does it, Im unsubbing!

Seriously though dude, grow up and learn the world doesn't revolve around you and your 'exprt gaemer skilz'. I dont mind slow players in ffxiv, the people who i do mind in duty finders are people like you who feel the need to be toxic over how someone plays a video game.
