Please, please introduce Duty Support for Trials

[Niobee]

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.

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

The truth about most trials and normal raids is that their mechanics barely hurt due to gear growth, mechanics get skipped due to gear growth and usually someone can resurrect you.

You can also just enter it as a higher level player using the "Unrestricted" setting. So for example, if you got a level skip but not a story skip, you could do a lot of the old trials alone if you bought level 80-90 gear from a market board. At minimum, you could do up through level 70 trials, but I even did level 80 final tier stuff as a tank in early level 90 gear.

Yes, now that I am level 90 I have been doing a lot of the old content with the unsync level in new game +, and it is wonderful to be able to experience those duties that I normally cannot; Some, however, like Susano, I cannot because of the mechanics; Thank you very much for your kind comment

I would love this as I enjoy my own company these days. Over 14 years playing a lot of my friends have left or moved and the fun was had a long time ago. Now I do not enjoy teaming up with randoms for the MSQ as I like to go at my own pace. The game allows for both solo and team play so it should at least be thought about. I hate saying hello and then nothing lol it should be an experience and lately that has changed a lot so it is off putting for me at least.

Have you tried at daily reset time ? Around 3ST - 7ST ? When everyone does Roulettes ?

[AngelicDeath]

if they do so it will cut a lot of mechanics out that AI bots can't do like they did with old dungeons that got reworked with trust.

Make a PF for it! People trying to farm tomes will go for clears to get your first time bonus. And certain trials are fun with new people just to see their reactions. Especially Endsinger!

I do recall yoshi p saying even if they do go forward doing more trials with duty support, the last trial has to be all players because it's still an mmo.

Adding proper duty support to the trials, without making them brain dead easy, is about the same resource level as making an Ultimate raid. Its very difficult, they did it for the special trial in 6.0 but found it was very costly and the resources are best spent elsewhere. Will they eventually do it? Probably but that will require a far better AI than the hard code methods they used for the special trial.
