Why is all new content such a cakewalk?

[Shinkuno]

SE decided FF14's audience should be the giga casuals who camp in RP venues and scoff at the idea of challenge, so don't expect anything more from stuff below EX. This has been the case since ShB.

I already expect they are gonna nerf the new MSQ trial. Its not hard, but its above "I can afk press 1 button and clear"

Every patch I'm continually surprised at how bad the playerbase is at this game. Better keep dumbing the jobs down, it's just way too haaaaaaarrrrrrd to maintain a rotation that consists of more than two buttons while performing the strenuous mental labor of dodging eye lasers that spend 10 seconds slowly, pointedly marking half of an arena to get out of.

Makes me angry, they can strip down classes to 5 buttons and a large part of the playerbase would still fail to press 50% of them and the other half theyd play whack-a-mole without any rhyme or reason on it

Hey, don't knock Disney Dreamlight Valley, it's pretty awesome. It's not just about dressing up in pretty clothes.

Cleared all the content today... a couple of wipes in the new raids, one wipe in the new Trial... and none in the new dungeon.

Its new stuff happening, and itis not to bad really...

It is to easy to say it is easy.... content is ok... gives something new to do.

The "you play more, so everything seems easier for you" argument seems odd. Mainly because you have to do leveling and stuff. If you're struggling in current normal content, then sorry, but you had at the very least 300-500 hours to learn the very basics. You have no excuses to reliably get 3+ vuln stacks every fight.

p12n is one of the only hard ones so far

Now that was a lie. P12N was the easiest one. P10N is the hard one, with the group dying about 5 times before we succeeded. The hits are hard, the healing required is a lot more than usual, and the main mechanic isn't too obvious at first.

My group wiped 3 times on the trial. Got it eventually but with one new healer it can hurt.

A lot of the mechs were familiar but I also do 8 and 24 man raids. I think some things we just don't see as much in MSQ so it could be spicy for someone who only does story.

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.



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

You need to do something about your uninhibited anger issues.

There's cakes?

Me as War and another tank as Pld managed to dual a over a 3rd of the new trial, after everyone else wipe. It cycle through all the mechanics myltiple time and none of it was able flat out kill us soo... yeah, was actually surprised at the lack of auto atks, usually that shit kills, lol.

I don't really feel like the new content is "too easy" or "too hard" so far. You finding something easy does not mean it is easy for everyone else. I did the new pandaemonium raids today and in all of them besides 11 were difficult in my opinion, we wiped many times in them. I feel like right now it's pretty balanced in terms of difficulty but that's my opinion. Something I find easy could be hard for someone else. It all depends on the player.
