Something should be done for players that love a challenge in Alliance Raids.

I think some of us would like something more of a challenge in alliance raids by having extreme Mode with its own sets of achievements and awards and slightly higher earning in Tomestones.

Also make it as a Permanent Weekly Roulette Challenge (Maybe).

I know these Devs. would like to flex their ideas out on what would these Alliance Bosses be like if they were able to let loose a bit more in Extreme. If it turns out popular they can turn the dial up for Savage Versions of the Alliance Raids, and might actually have to think what to do with Adds too besides the bosses, and will be a great experience for players to actually communicate and build with eachother.

However I wouldn't want to be copy-paste like Unreal is, but actually have adds and Bosses have new additional mechanics in each version of the alliance raid.

A man can dream anyway, I just want to see more challenge variations of current content. Not sure how many people here would want to go for something like that.


I know we got our wish recently with 4-Man content though being a new dungeon, but I hope will see something for Alliance raids too. Its more fun when you're partying with more people.

Was actually just talking about this today with some friends. If they had (Unreal) versions of the older alliance raids with mechanics synced up to current ilvl and rewards of like, dyeable versions of the original glams or tokens you could use to buy the glams/minions outright, we thought that would be pretty neat.

That's basically what BA, CLL, Dalriada and DR were. DR even has a Savage version.

And it was beautiful. Moar of it, moar!

And these were some of the most fun experiences I've had in FF14.

Would definitely enjoy this level of challenge in Alliance Raids.
Currently, Alliance Raids are laughably easy.

True, but all of those are gated behind grindy stuff that lots of people don't even do. And for the harder ones like BA/DRS, you're expected to use outside resources like discord to even get into a group.
It'd be nice if, much like EX/Savage content for other things, you could simply unlock retweaked/harder versions of existing alliance raid content and then do it without trudging through like 60 hours of FATE grinds or whatever.

There is also the minimum item level option. When I did ARR alliance raids with that setting, we were able to tackle it in discord like high-end content and the mechanics were actually that punishing and needed us to tank swap because of lack of cooldowns.

Love doing these, but they're hard to put together since you need to basically create a full group of 24 in the partyfinder to make it happen and most people see 0 reason to join up for that outside of niche groups.

Speak for yourself. I see Zadnor full almost every week and I pitch in to help people Dalriada when I feel like it.

Do the Ivalice raider in solo duty finding. Will have the more wipe than the TOP prog.

With it's own rewards and achievements? The devs can barely make a set of seasonal event gear on time let alone a whole new set just to accommodate a version of casual content fine tuned to be savage so a fraction of the playerbase can feel special for walking out of circles really good.

i like the idea but tbh i dont need special achievements or rewards for it. it doesnt have to be extreme difficulty or let alone criterion difficulty either.... but something between dungeons and extremes... more like normal raids? or bozja, and not whatever we have right now.
