"Taking a stand" quest

[Avelphina]

Yeah this quest is an absolute train wreck. I'm tired of them doing these solo duty quests, It's an MMO! Pick a lane!

You know allot of you could....now this is gonna be crazy. I mean its almost mental to suggest this. ... now bear with me.

Come closer

A bit closer your not close enough

Look u need to lean in

Stop being scared and lean in

Ok there you are

Just learn to play the dang game and stop making excuses for your lack of intelligence and willingness to do better...or maybe find a different game to play cause this is not it chief.

Is this supposed to be helpful or do you just enjoy being obnoxious?

Do you enjoy comming onto the forum and begging the developers to make the game easier punishing us players who used common sense to get through the game or do you like telling ppl to stay bad at the game or maybe both.

Difficult to decode that stream, but as far as I can make out I've done none of those things.

Meanwhile in General Discussion, people are trying to figure out why MMOs are dying, when the answer is staring them in the face in this thread.

With all due respect, it’s not about making the game easier. It’s about difficulty levels not adhering to their labeling. Besides, not all gamers are in it for the Elden Ring Everest-challenge, especially in a MSQ. Side quests? Absolutely make them hard. Field Hunts and Fates? Most definitely. That’s also why we have Extreme and Savage Raids. To satiate that desire in people.

And at the same time Square already accommodates by giving users things like the Spark of Hope. So even they know not everyone is in it for the extreme challenge.

Should the game be Dreamlight Valley easy? No. FF14 is by no stretch a “cozy” RPG. But a boss taking your health down to almost nothing on an unavoidable attack where your most powerful healing spell only gives back a fraction of that on Very Easy while making users use attacks that are never explained to the them (not even a break-screen tutorial) should be addressed while those itching by for a challenge will still get it on Normal difficulty.

However, I do disagree with extreme passion that after x number of fails, they should allow you to move on. No way!! There still must be SOME challenge.

ok, i'm clumsy, i'm really bad at games like Dark Souls (and i'm not going to play). What do i do in mmorpg? i try to dress up, save up coins and reputation to level up, craft to save up money, watch new stories, participate in duty. I like to go through dungeons with NPCs. i play mostly as a healer.
What should i do here? i can't get through this, i can't change class, i can't improve clothes, i can't do anything except hope day after day that i'll get lucky. Is this game not for me or what?

Have you tried to do it on Easy instead of Very Easy, as others have suggested earlier in the thread? Many have said they found Easy much easier than Very Easy.

if you are still having trouble, try upgrading your gear. i have a friend who was stuck on this for months. i just came back to the game after a 5 year long break. normally i have a lot of trouble with these kinds of solo duties. this one took me 2 or 3 times. for me, it was realizing to stand on the green orb and i got it. friend was not as lucky. i spent a good hour or two last night reading this entire thread seeing if there was something we were missing... and i realized no one was mentioning gear. you would THINK it would not matter because you are playing as a completely different person (and more than likely class), but it does sync your level/gear down if you are too high/well geared for it. i made her a new set of gear and she was able to get right through it. i imagine the stats don't matter so much as the item level

I'm not reading through the whole thread, so this is just in response to the first and last pages, but if Easy is actually easier than Very Easy, then something's wrong and needs fixed. Assuming it hasn't been already - given the age of the thread.
