    Would you guys like an added difficulty for raids?

    I personally would appreciate a new difficulty in between Normal and Savage. I wondering if guys would as well?

    An example from another game would be WoW. It has Normal, Heroic, and Mythic modes for their raids.

    In my opinion Normal mode is too easy and Savage destroys most of the player base. So much so that many players are to scared to even attempt Savage.

    To me personally the old Coil raids had the perfect mix of difficulty. It was way harder than normal, but not as cruel as Savage.

    It would be very nice to have a difficulty been the two. Maybe even call them Extreme Raids. Plus it would get more people to try some harder content.

    What are you guys thoughts on this?

    Technically, Savage is the middle mode if you consider Ultimates.

    True, but I really consider them their own thing. Since there are only a few of them and not based on each raid.

    I'm not really sure how they would do a middle one tbh.

    There's not that much they can do to savage without completely neutering the fights to make them slightly easier. I guess if they made them not wipe you on mechanic fail but then that's not really hard....

    Some history for you: Originally when alexander was being developed there was going to be 3 tiers of difficulty but they had to cut the middle out due to time constraints alongside some other stuff like quests on individual heavensward members

    There already are multiple difficulties.

    They include, but are not limited to:
    • The Netflix Watcher
    • The "I don't care, you don't pay my sub!"
    • The "Doesn't even bother with mechanics"
    • The "What's a job crystal?"
    • The "I'm just here to (E)RP".

    And for a bonus...they aren't limited to raids!

    I would have preferred it if the "normal" mode were a bit harder. Not quite savage, but also not nearly as easy as it is now.

    There were multiple threads about how hard a solo player duty with easy mode was. There is a thread about how hard the story trials are. You expect these people to want and take part in harder raids than we have? If anything based on how they are mending the game these days they’re more like to remove savage than make a new middle difficulty.

    I wish they would let you unlock savage directly without having to play through normal mode

    I would prefer it if they call normal mode story mode and create a normal mode that isn't too disimilar in mechanics but drop a few from savage and slightly tighten up the dps and healing checks from what we have now and have savage where it is or tune it slightly higher so that the tier can't be cleared in a few days on release.

    WoW raids at mythic last lot longer then this on release.

    The curve will be really good for the playerbase, some of the issues with FF14 content is the curve, its one extreme to another.
