Raid (Hard Mode: An idea)

[Dakin]

Your so called new 'hard modes but not hard modes' need to have a guaranteed drop. Balance the content and said drops around how many players you want actually completing them, rather than asinine RNG. Reward player and group skill. .8% drop rate on Darklight is not very fun.

In 2.0, we have something else planned that is slightly different than "Hard" mode and instead of increasing the drop rates, the rewards will be fitting for what's being planned.

Not a fan of "Hard Mode"
Its a lazy way to maximize content...
Like having Difficulty on an offline game to help increase replay value....
"You've beaten the game on Hard, you have unlocked NIGHTMARE mode..."
No thank you

I like hard modes, cuz its actually a challenge, i just wish i didn't have to unlock nightmare, wish i could choose it from the start. OH! 'cept in chaos legion.... GG!

If there is normal mode and hard mode... then get rid of normal and make hard mode just what the content is....

Well said Dakin.

I shudder to think if SE releases a Super Hard Mode with better gear, but... *half* the current chance, or the same crappy drop rates as the current Darklight.

Amazingly cryptic and vague. Right out of the SE playbook.

Amazingly pessemistic and cynical. Right out of the overly entitled player playbook.

Can we stop doing speed runs?

Me likes, I guess.

To make things more enjoyable they should probably remove speed runs. Idk anyone that is super excited to have to blow through the hard work (of the developers) and content of the dungeon (Cool cutscenes and mechanics) in about 25 minutes just to make sure you have a chance at the rewards.

They also need to increase the timer on re-entering the dungeons. If they don't want people to beat something within the first day its out, don't let them go in 50 times within a day. With that drop rates should be increased. Idk about anyone else, but on my 35th Ifrit run within two days, it started to lose its "magic." Now one could say, "But you don't HAVE to run the dungeons every half hour." That's true, but not. In order to do a lot of these thing you have to have done it many times and know your role. Especially if you want that speed chest with the only worthwhile drops. SE is pretty much forcing us to do content a million times to get something, and because of this either people get burned out and don't want to ever do the content again, or its just plain boring by then. Plus any LS that does "endgame" runs these things quite a bit, sometimes that being all they do.

EDIT: Well, not sure what Rukkirii means by that but i hope its not a variation of what they are currently doing. Maybe some sort of performance evaluation?
On second thought, i suppose its good that they have the content being so accessible since its all going to be destroyed in 2.0.
