Too many trials in MSQ

[Moerser]

It's not I don't like the trials, it's the waiting for other players sometimes, especially to continue the story line. They are making dungeons playable with NPC's to avoid long waiting times, so why do I need to wait for trials? Makes no sense to me.

I guess ur a new player, so we should be kind and explain the problem to u.
To "make stuff playable" with NPCs, they need to fit it to NPC behavior.
Its one of the reasons, the reworked A Realm Reborn dungeons became that easy.
If im wrong on this and smbdy knows more/can add more info, plz correct me.
So they'd need to make the trials even more easy as they are alrdy.
I dont think we'd want that to happen.

If u have troubles with qeue length cause ur playin Damage Dealer, i can only encourage u to find some Healer/Tank friends.
That will help alot.
Not to mention that playin Healers/Tanks urself could be helpful, not only for u but many others too.
U dont have to fear anythin, ppl are kind and wont flame the heck out of u if u fail with stuff.
In the end, the learnin is the fun stuff for most of us.
And if ppl start hatin hard -> kickvote them, if they arent alrdy bein corrected by some veteran player.

Sometimes its very helpful to ask for help in open chat.
Many ppl in this community will be glad to help u out.
I cant count the times i've ran Sastasha etc, just for the helpin heck of it.
And cant count the times better players helped me out with harder stuff.
Just ask, maybe it will also take some time.
But ppl WILL come to help u, i am sure.

I'll be that one, even 1 in the MSQ is too many.

Leave that stuff for side content. With how literally 98% of any new content being made is stuck behind finishing the MSQ it really shouldn't have as much long and tedious additions to it added in for literally no reason but to add padding to the quest count.

I've still yet to finish EW because of how dang long it is. I've even lost all interest in the story. Square has always been great story tellers. It's just that they're some of the worst at pacing I've ever seen in story telling. Things just DRAG far too much and far too often for me to give a darn. If this was a book most people wouldn't finish it because of how boring and lengthy it would be.

If they left trials to just side content then all we'd be left with are the brain-dead dungeons which would just kill even more peoples interest. The story is phenomenal but the gameplay needs to be there as well, otherwise this game would just be a glorified visual novel. And I say that as someone who LOVES visual novels.

So your problem is the story is too long and badly paced but actually having intractable content outside of “talk to alphinaud” 10x on repeat is also somehow a bad thing

I’m confused

I really don't want to have to die 50+ times just to do a quest series. The Barbariccia one was the worst so far, I think I spent more time dead than fighting.
If they were optional, I'd skip them all.

This, my friends, is what we call a "Skill Issue"

But seriously they add like 1 trial every other patch. I honestly think theres too few.

Literally everyone is 30 ilvls below the expert gear. Is this your first patch day MSQ? They are brutal wipe fest typically as people see the boss the first time.
