the normal content is too easy

[Voidedge_Ragna]

Almost everything, with the exceptions of a few key moments is face roll in msq. Mist Dragon is mildly spicy for a dungeon boss for sample but that's about as "bad" as it gets.

Players are not asking for for a Dark Souls difficulty they would like a reason to not be asleep during their roulettes and dungeons. If you say "well there's a hard mode", yes there is 4 duties per 8 months in savage and 2-3 Ex per 4-6 months. So yes there is a hard mode for Trials and 8 man Raids. There's none for 24 man raids and none for dungeons and those make up 95% of the entire content at this point.

There should be more midcore content that borders hardcore, the jump from extreme to savage is massive most of the time (this time it was not that bad) so there is clearly a spot there for something.

There are 0 checks in this game that ask if you know what your doing, you can free style your combo all the way to 90 and even solo duties can be put on very easy. With the amount of content you HAVE to have done by the time you hit 90, the game should be basing on the idea that the player has done hundreds of hours of experience and be a lot more progressive in its difficulty.

Also major fights in story should be tuned to the point it feels like a major fight.

I’d recommend putting it in the general forums tbh. It’ll get much more attention there than it would on these areas sadly.

how do i move it?

I'm just grateful that the mindset present in threads like this, on the forums, don't really reflect what is experienced in-game.

I strongly dislike this idea that because 'you' find the game "too easy" everyone should. Makes me wonder if some view Zenos (and his 'nothing is challenging enough for me' mindset) as a role-model or something.

???? I’m sorry, what is this take?

Zenos is my least favorite character, and I think he should have stayed dead after 4.0—and I think that this game has gotten progressively easier to the point that it’s “Baby’s First MMO”.

Regarding the thread being in the wrong slot, i apologize, I put it in the feedback forum. If it belongs elsewhere, someone who has power can move it where it belongs or can tell me how to. I'm not sure what to do to move it.

The category is Feedback, but the only sub-forums are Website Bugs, Website/Companion App and Localization. What Localization means is the English translation from Japanese, so most posts are reporting translation errors.

Zenos has been held up as a caricature of "hardcore" story-skippers. He doesn't care what is happening, he just wants to skip all of the story beats and wants the biggest possible challenge (i.e. fighting WoL). He's essentially inferred to be a mirror to that kind of player.

This person is claiming that people asking for a harder challenge are looking up to the caricature of Zenos as a role model instead of just people enjoying some level of challenge.

Oh, I’m well aware of what they meant. There’s some impressive mental leaps that must have been made to assume that anyone who wants the game to have some semblance of challenge is also a Zenos fanboy.

Zenos is supossed to be your mirror.

So you're saying that you want normal content to be much easier than it is then since you don't like Zenos. Ok.

No, that wasn't what I was claiming. But I am SO not getting involved in this discussion any further.
