Too many trials in MSQ

[Wolwosh]

I cleared it in 2 tries with a full newbie group. Try to improve maybe?

10/10 fight

[Zer0]

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.

Too few in my opinion ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Agreed. This is lv90 content. It SHOULD be hard. IDC what people who hate dying think, just as I know they don't care what bores me.

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.

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.

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.

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 ate much dirt during that fight but we got it finished in one go. I have to credit my team mates for that. They seemed to know what they were doing and were able to help me work past my difficulties with my condition. I wouldn't want to try that fight on Ex though. I think I will leave that for the better players to handle. I hope Ex gives players decent loot for the hell they will have to go through.
