    The Final Day needs to be ilevel synched

    Title.

    Ilvl of the average players in Duty Finder Trials these days is too high for this fight now. The Trial completes too fast, sometimes even before the Story Voiceovers in the second phase complete. The second phase is being entered with <15% health on the boss.

    This is not enjoyable for new players doing it for the first time who enjoy the story. That fight was great and epic and a wonderful cap to the story when it released. Now it's so fast that you don't even get to hear the VO Lines or the best parts of the music in the second phase.

    Sync it down to like 570-580. Min ilvl is 540, so thats more than enough headroom.

    I agree and I could see this was going to be a problem the first time I did it actually.

    But I agree that there should be item level syncs on everything. There just isn't and it makes old content less fun.

    Even if the item level syncs don't happen until the expansion is over to preserve gear progression, once the expansion is over, gear progression isn't really a thing because everyone can just get the best tomestone gear with poetics.

    In other news, there is no technical debt from 1.0.
    "We don't have ... a technological issue that was carried over from 1.0, because ARR was meant to kind of discard what we had from 1.0 and rebuild it from the engine."

    Counter point but item level syncing on current expansion content sucks ass. No, I don't want to sync to 570 when running Dead Ends. Yes, trusts should just be used in all MSQ content for players that are really anal about catching every possible story moment. I've done this content enough times that I have the right to just burst through as fast as possible to get my tomestones, I really couldn't care otherwise (this is also why I item level cheese in alliance raids because I'll take a quick Crystal Tower over potentially spending an hour wiping in that one Nier raid).

    Why do you care? Alliance Raids are boring after the first few run throughs. I'd rather be in-and-out in 15-20 minutes by cheesing my way into a Crystal Tower than potentially spending 45-60 minutes in that final Nier raid. They're a story telling mechanism and the allure of the music etc just wears off if you're running them for the 100th time. At least in CT I know it's over fast.
