Please, please introduce Duty Support for Trials

[KiraRavens]

I replayed the entire main story in prep for Dawntrail and am currently stuck in yet another queue for the last Endwalker Trial - have been for about half an hour and counting. I was stuck in queue for the last ShB Trial for over 2 hours.

Not only is this really frustrating, I'll argue that it also ruin the epic buildup to these fights.

So, please, add Duty Support for the Trials as well. It's long overdue and would make playing through the story so much more fun, especially for new players since the older Trials can take several hours to pop.

Thanks.

Trials like hades and the endsinger (SOS, void cast dais and zeromus also fall into this) arguably can’t be made with duty support because it’s azem’s power to summon adventurers to help them

It functionally canonises duty support

It’s why of the three MSQ trials in EW only haedalyn has duty support, because the scions were canonically there with the WOL

It would be nice, but they said it's very difficult to do it for 8-person content and might require compromising too much. They want you to fight these "epic bosses" the way you currently are. Nevertheless, they did try it out with one of the trials to see if they could manage it. There haven't been any plans revealed for this in 7.x at all, so we likely won't see it until 8.x or after, if at all.

Just make duty support NPC WoLs

So make the support npcs random adventurers. That's possibly the least plausible reason for duty support not being available for these duties. The more likely reason is that they probably have to script the NPC behaviors for each mechanic of each encounter. That's probably not trivial work (and not trivial to test either)

The trust should be getting more and more cut back as the game goes forward tbh. Why play an mmo to play solo

Since you are playing on an EU data center do you have all languages enabled when you queue for a trial? One of my friends recently started the game and always waited for ages (he had only one language choosen), when I put us up for a trial we hat no wait time at all.

For me it would be very important that they implement duty support for the trials, I suffer from anxiety and thanks to the duty support in the dungeons I am little by little being able to do them with other players, but the trials are very fast and they stress me out too much; so when I get to one so as not to stop playing I buy "Tales of Adventure" and jump to the next expansion. Please, I would like to be able to learn the trials by heart and be able to do them with people without being so afraid

Because we don't want to wait 30+ minutes to progress the msq? Also the interaction with other players in Instances is "Hi thanks bye"

It’s the chicken and the egg

You certainly aren’t helping those queues by sitting in duty support

It’s the deepest depths of the content drought, you have to expect some level of queues especially during off peak
