Im getting tired of the MSQests that kill you at the end every time [SPOILER ALERT]

You mean, like how we're doing just fine fighting against Zenos or Ran'jit or whoever, and then the game just decides to tell us that we've lost?


... no? That's not what this topic is about? Huh.

reminds me of the titan normal quest where I always end up killing all the mobs except the one main guy. Then it skips to a cutscene where you are in the middle of a crowded pitched battle when you've been just putting arrows into the last one for a minute or 2.

Never died in single player scenarios, maybe you should pay attention to mechanics?

[Videra]

You can die in MSQ quests?

The issue with a lot of this is that most of that pointer style stuff comes up in a chat log that's stuck away on a corner of the screen while players are often paying attention to what's going on in the centre of the screen..

The other issue is if a player is using the default log settings then any npc dialog that comes up disappears from the log very very quickly and can be very easily missed. Or people with customised filters again might miss it if it's on the wrong tab.

This has been a long standing issue that ties to many of the earlier job quests and all sort a of things. It's not a difficulty issue it's just a clarity issue. It's why people have suggested npc speech bubbles or audible voices and stuff a few times over the years for some such events.

While this is fair... the sudden appearance of a Limit Break button on your hot bar alone is kind of smacking you upside the head with what needs to be done. Personally I'd love to be given more abilities for these sort of things, but uh... it's threads like this that show why we can't get that.

I died at the end of the latest "dungeon" once, but I quickly realized that the game was trying to tell me what to do all along and that I wasn't paying attention.

I realize that everyone has a different skill level and that for some these solo quests/fights may be a bit difficult for them. But for what I would consider most people they aren't really that challenging. They do have the potential to take awhile though.

I have died bunch times in them and every time it was from very bad lag or 90002 error inside them for story quests. One time took me 7 tries because at end kept getting 90002 error or game would just freeze up.

Come on, even I managed to do this first time, and we all know I'm not the greatest player. Also very distracted by playing as Estinien.... I thought it was a very fun part but that was mostly due to the aforementioned playing as Estinien. There was a lot of squealing.

Actually there was a lot of squealing throughout these cutscenes, esp when Gaius kinds fired DRG Jesus through the air. Almost beats Legolas sliding down a staircase on a plastic tray! ( I'm truly not being sarcastic, both of these scenes thrilled me)

I think I died once during the Thancred vs Ran'jit fight because my controller died and my cat tried to take off with the charging cord. That fight was just way too drawn-out.

For some reason thought you meant the cat's fight with the charging cord XD Have cats myself, so can confirm that this is a thing lol, furry little sods.... On topic, I really enjoyed the fight OP is refering too, died couple of times because I got distracted, but it can be done. Figuring it out is the fun part in my opinion.

What.... how can you miss it, everything is explained in your chat window, theres always clues of green text being spammed.... Well atleast you get to enjoy those awesome cutscenes again lol The only time i died in MSQ quests was fighting Zenos, gave a quick question in the Novice network and got a quick answer as to what i missed.

I know this one and past ones people have needed to do multiple times, idk i never have had issues with any of the single fight encounters.
Did they not implement easy and very easy settings or i thought i had read that in patch notes...
