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

[Kodabey]

SPOILER ALERT don't read this if you haven't done the 5.1 MSQ.

So I just tried the Estinien quest in 5.1 and guess what? YOU GET KILLED AT THE END. This is if you don't bother looking it up and studying it in detail before you try it. Which shouldn't be necessary. It seems like this is a repeating theme...let's watch a long cutscene and then do a battle as someone else and get KILLED AT THE END because of some surprise mechanic. It was funny the first few times, but now I find it annoying. How about a MSQ as an NPC where you can actually finish it without having to go to YouTube or Reddit to figure it out?

Thanks,

Nikko

Villian: "I'm gonna charge up my attack that will insta kill you unless you use limit-break to stop me!"

Ally: "oh noes. He's charging up his attack that will insta kill you unless you use a limit-brake to stop him"

Player: *doesn't do the mechanic* "WhY DiD I DiE!?!?!?

LOL! Ohmygod....that is exactly what happened to me.

I did it the first time and got the guy down to something like .0001% and just when I thought I had it, I insta died at almost full HP. Then I glanced at my chat box and realized I should have glanced at it earlier because I was focusing on not standing in the goop and the mech's HP. After reading it I mentally whipped myself and ran it a second time remembering to push the duty button when it lit up and no problem.

I filed it under "my bad" and got on with it.

Never watched a youtube guide and never died in any of these MSQs.

Imagine needing to look it up rather than checking what your hotbar skills do by hovering over them.

I kept dying before the LB opportunity due to the big fire explosion. (Must have made 20+ attempts at it.)
Finally, I tried the two AOE's against one of the little adds around the edge, which seemed to be causing the explosion, but it didn't die. Then, the explosion didn't kill me. I assume one of the AOE's killed whatever was killing me at the end of the long cast.
I would have never thought that any AOE ability would kill everything in the arena short of the boss. (I don't recall if the tooltip said it would or not.)

Who needs to read the skill tool-tips when you just bash your way through first try...I mean, the skill bar(at least for control users) is set up for going clockwise from the right most button(the majority of the time) for you to not fail....and that's automatic.

Good thing they are adding in very easy mode or whatever right? Looks like we need it. MSQ is on the level of savage/ultimates.

I thought this was gonna be about those unnecessarily long NPC fights where your character just loses at the end anyway because reasons (*coughzenoscoughran'jit*)... which yeah those are really annoying lmao

Biggest complaint on those though is really that they just drag on for way too long. WAY too long. Tone it down pls SE.

Anyway I'm pretty sure the game either tells you directly or heavily points you toward needing to limit break to finish that fight. I think the LB fills like right then? Idk but I remember realizing that nothing was working and I had an LB to use and just going for it lmao
