Why is all new content such a cakewalk?

[Zeastria]

yeah and the "others" are insanely bad

Nobody is born good - it's learned, and some need more time to learn.

Nobody is born good - it's learned, and some need more time to learn something..

lmao if it takes people more than 2 seconds to learn any mechanic from the new dungeon they should go play Babies Dress Up Simulator 2017 instead.

the only valid counterexample is p12n where the final donut/out + tiles falling + divebomb pattern can catch people off guard first time.

That's bullshit lie and you know it

Yes babyface, Babies Dress Up Simulator would be your type of beat.

You need to do something about your uninhibited anger issues.

People don't want to learn in FFXIV, what do you mean?

Nobody is asking for some huge ball buster difficulty in a dungeon or normal mode but to have content actually threaten the player. I shouldn't be able to collect vuln stacks and it not even matter. A perfect example is Stigma Dreamscape. You know those Omega and Dragon adds that spawn and blow up if you don't kill them in the last boss? That explosion did paltry damage on content. It's actually better to simply ignore both and just DPS the boss. Think about that for a second. It's better to completely ignore a boss mechanic and simply zerg it down faster because the outgoing damage is that pitiful.

This is what people are criticising when they say content is too easy. A tank should feel like a tank yet most EW dungeon bosses seem to take forever and a day to do a tank buster. And when they finally do, it tickles. Naturally, the healing requirements are extremely low. So you end up spamming Glare more than anything else. Upping some of the damage wouldn't spell do but would give the content some needed bite.

And we don't even talk about the alliance raids who are difficulty wise just a huge disappointment, especially after we had the Nier raids.

I was agreeing with your post till this point. Maybe is just me, but I still see plenty of deaths in those 2 alliance raids, granted I didnt do them very much but still, call them cakewalk I mean...

Oh yeah i see also many deaths but not many wipes. If we take Cidolfus Orlandeau from the ivalice raids for example, before they nerfed him, if one party of the raid didn't do their job the whole raid would wipe. Or back then the first boss in dun scaith was a huge dps check, it was a timed fight that had a guaranteed wipe if people didn't deal enough damage or too many players died. Today what kills most people is the insane amount of foliage and grass when fighting Nophica.

FFxiv is getting easier and easier, ARR dungeons hit harder then the newest dungeons

Decidedly false. HW dungeons (and open world mobs) hit much harder than ARR dungeons/mobs at release. Not so much anymore.
