The Dead Ends is yet another error in the push to make everything hardcore

Only problem I had was with the yellow butterflies and the yellow floor. Only change I think is needed is maybe make the butterflies blue or some other color than yellow. I thought some of the earlier dungeons had harder mechanics.

The ground markers clearly show which way the Butterflies are pointing.

They are once you know they're there. I genuinely didn't notice them at all until my friend pointed them out. The whole room is yellow yellow yellow and those markers are orange. My eyesight is godawful and I know that but yeah they definitely could stand to stand out a little more lol

There's markers? I've been doing it based on the butterflies themselves. That's a game changer.

My only gripe with The Dead Ends is the incurable doom on the last boss if one screws up the butterfly mechanic.

So many times I get this dungeon and the healer bites it to this mechanic and leaves the group working down the boss without heals and hopefully we don't have a DRK and can finish up.

This dungeon makes me want to run expert as a RDM just to clean up others crap.

It's not incurable, it goes away if you heal the person to full. If a healer dies to it I... I mean I can only assume they either don't know that or are standing in a bunch of other things too lol

For players who just want to do the story, there should not be mechanics that you only see in Extreme or Savage. What is Square Enix thinking putting all these ridiculously difficult mechanics in a dungeon boss like Exaflares or the second boss's ridiculous amount of AoEs? The issue is there is no obvious tells for what the solution to the mechanics are and they are totally new so unless you look up a MrHappy or MTQ guide there's no way to know how those mechanics work. After so many people complained about Mist Dragon and The Heroes' Gauntlet how come Square Enix still insists on making dungeons harder and harder? Please stop lol

This game may be better for you, sir. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sM_em824wh0

"push to make everything hardcore" and "FFXIV" ...

This must be a massive troll. There's no way you can be serious.... The MSQ is so "hardcore" you can literally beat nearly all of it with flawless AI party members and 90% of the content is dialogue and cutscenes. How much less "hardcore" can it even be?

dead ends isnt particularly hardcore, this feels like a skill issue

Is it still a necro if the thread is from this year?

The Dead Ends is not a hard dungeon at all.
