Castrum Fluminis is way too difficult

[Halivel]

As much as it's an obvious troll post, that's also how all "the game is too easy" posts look like. Irony.

I know this will upset the hardcore video game players in the game but this fight is way too difficult, and is a huge gate in the MSQ. Have developers considered nerfing the fight? The instant death mechanic from the half moons is very unforgiving and is an extreme steep curve in difficulty compared to the other fights you've done. Shinryu and Yotsuyu are just such a sudden jump in difficulty that if your healers are both new to the game you'll be stuck in that fight for two hours. I hope the developers will nerf them (give 50% echo right away maybe?)

In my opinion its all about communication, not difficulty.

There are couple of fights during leveling process, that can be obstacle if you are not aware of mechanics.
Ex: Efreet (nails), Chrysalis (tear), Lakshmi (Vril), Shinryu's iced-floor, etc..
It's never more than 1-2 abilities, that are truly problematic.

What is needed to overcome this, is for one - JUST ONE - person who knows the pitfalls to open chatline and write it for new people - and for them to listen.
I do this, when I join these instances in roulette and it becomes apparent, there are multiple new people.

Rarely, you can join parties where all the old-hands are too full of themselves and can't be bothered. OR you join parties, where new people are not interested in taking advice.
Those parties then disband, because they failed to play as a team.

Should SE be fixing this for us? I say no.

You can quit the game anytime if it's "too hardcore" for you. The forum too, especially.

I hate saying this, but given the context and who it's directed at I will. Also I will use a PG version for obvious reasons, lol.

How can someone with a name like "Titan Man" be such a wimp? Dude, "Man Up" and show the rest of us "pathetic lifeforms" how a real man beats on a sexy moon bunny.

In all seriousness though, can we like report these guys? These threads are becoming too commonplace.

Is this what the community is like these days? Anyone who isn't a hardcore gamer apparently needs to be reported.

I'm not hardcore, and yet all my jobs (save two), crafters and gatherers are at max level and I am caught up with story content. As of this post.

Ignoring the troll posts by the same user days after days, I'm glad I can actually say this: If I - the self-proclaimed worst-skilled player on Light DC and a notrious clicker and keyboard turner - was able to clear Castrum Fluminis (on WAR, I think), anyone should be able to clear it *WoLnod*

So...you're talking normal mode?

No this is what we acutally should have many more times, preferable in solo trials as well, without the baby cheat option.

and no IDC if its bait it just annoys me to no limit >_>
