Did the dungeons get harder for the event?

[PirateRyanG]

Granted, I have only done Ultima Weapon 4 times. No other dungeon.

However, Ultima seems to be hitting much, much harder than normal. I came close to a wipe several times. That never happens. One of its moves used to hit for 1/3rd health, now it is hitting for almost 70%.

Maybe I missed the part where it said the dungeons with the tomes attached would get harder.

I am not the only one that noticed. It's kinda putting me off wanting to do the MSQ roulette, something which I normally run several times per day.

Hitting harder is great with an experienced group. But Ultima is a pretty long fight with most of the deaths (from non-mechanic avoiding newbies) happening at the tail end of the fight. Just before the power boost.

Nothing has changed. Ive done it several times and had zero issues.

Several people in my groups have pointed it out. How Ultima is hitting much harder than before.

I have healed this dungeon dozens and dozens of times. I know exactly how hard he hits and when to drop heals. I have not had this on any other dungeon (non-event ones). I can heal them fine, but something is up with Ultima.

They did not change any difficulty or scaling of their content for this event. Not only is there no reason why they would, but also there is no actual time window when they'd be able to push such a change live (i.e. scheduled maintenance).

If you notice anything regarding your difficulty to clear the content you intend to do and the issue is not you, then it is highly likely that an influx of less-than-average players (lesser gear or general performance in fights) into your parties is the reason.

Other than you or your teammates, nothing changed. And if, it is unintended / a bug.

It's plausible less experienced players are jumping in to MSQ roulette for the event. Lower gear could explain the hitting harder. Just seems...odd.

So was this comment.

New team brought in. Fresh blood. Fire Yoshi-P. He has taken the game as far as he can.

..so you will forgive me if I take your claims of changes to Ultima with a grain of salt the size of the Empty.

I genuinely think Yoshi-P should be yoinked out.

The worship of him is irritating. It is like a little cult.

The game can only improve if somebody who can do wrong in the eye's of the community is brought in. When somebody cannot fail due to becoming something akin to a cult leader, the game cannot improve. He can make any decision he wants and the community will lap it up.

The game can only improve without Yoshi-P.

You dont want to hear my response to that. You dont. Trust me.

See.

Cult.

Man can do no wrong.

...I am not sure where you get that idea, but Yoshida has done wrongs many times.

The difference is that unlike many other, he admits his wrongs and is generally transparent on those things, as far as professional manners allow him to.

The reason we don't bash him relentlessly for the bads is because he has a general understanding of the community and their reception of things and is not living in lala-land (no pun intended I promise) unlike certain other MMORPG developers / producers. He acknowledges problems and communicates.

"Cult" btw.
