P12S and PF

[Derio]

I am still progging right now and just got past caloric 2 with my group and this has been the worst tier in terms of the amount of body checks. At this point I am just going for the clear. Not the weapon, not the mount, just the clear because p12s is just not fun.

Two of the stingiest, most anti customer companies of the gaming industry working together? I don't see it happening.

They are indeed my friend. They are.

I think much like Island Sanctuary this content was being developed around the time of Lost Ark JP launch while it was still popular, let's just make everything super harddd dudeee helll yeeeeaaahhhhh screw anyone who hasn't got a static what are you some kinda friendless poor socially anxious freak? I don't like it. Soon as I heard you "Need" Static for so and so fight I just gave up I'm fine with doing casual content since nothing harder is compulsory anyway. I always said PF Legends never die but my servers PF is dead, and I'm not doing so hot either.

It's not even that it's necessarily hard, it's just incredibly punishing. PF works fine when you can A. recover and B. make up for weaker members but recently the mechanics just don't allow for it, if you have a weaker player you simply get to start all over and it's not a fun experience for anyone.

I said this before when talking about job design. Since the difficulty of playing your job has drastically lowered over the last two expansions they have tried to make up for it with much tighter mechanic checks but this has completely skewed the balance of difficulty in one direction.
If you have someone who isn't great at executing precise movement quickly and consistently your experience is going to be absolutely awful and random savage pugs have historically never been good at that.
