Praise for the current alliance raids

[Brynne]

I just came here to say that I am really enjoying the latest alliance raids (the raids themselves, although I like the quests around them as well). They are mechanically engaging to me, have fantastic music to accompany them, are visually stunning, and I just overall find them really fun to do.

I wanted to thank the devs for their work on Myths of the Realm. I really enjoy it so far, and it's likely to become my favorite alliance raid series of the game. I hope others are enjoying them as much as I am.

In my opinion, I think the current alliance raids are quite easy mechanics-wise. I wish the devs would continue down with the difficulty of Ivalice ally raids as they're my favorite.

I agree, Alliance raids are pretty much the only 'midcore' content we have so there should be some sense of difficulty to explain why you even need 24 players. Don't get me wrong, they are fun (Dalamutt best doggo), but there's 6 healers present, you can get more creative than just "sidestep the big orange circle/ring".

I, too, remember the days where you would time out an instance without a clear and have to que up to do it all over again.

Oh, wait...yeah, that was terrible. Let's NOT do that again.

Wait, what?

Alliance raids have been all over the place, but aren't really "midcore". They're also the only content in that size, so they don't have variable difficulties (no matter how many times people ask for it).

In before someone complai—I wasn't even close.

I forgot to mention the glams! But yes, they are really nice too. I'm also looking forward to patch 6.5 with the third installment!

Still waiting for that launch Ivalice difficulty that was promised.

Ivalice wasn't really hard though. Bosses just had a trillion HP, so everything took 3894 years to kill. People just needed to be max iLv which they are now.

The Bozja raids are far more interesting if you ask me.

CLL has the coordinated Top and Bot boss kills, the part where you have to save the prisoners and work together to make sure you get as many chests as possible, and it also has the Lyon DPS check.
DR has the "Get hit twice, you die" mechanic, which meant you actually couldn't just stand in stuff and get topped back right away. It also has mechanics we haven't seen anywhere else, like Hot and Cold or Queen's Edict.
Dalriada has the hallways, with people having to call the safe lanes and it once again required teamwork to get through the challenge. Lanes still mess up parties to this day.

That's what makes interesting group content for me.

In that sense, Euphy is rather tame, though it's worth mentioning that the Southern Front content was (and still is) different than how Alliance Raids have always been.
