Difficulty of normal content.

[Deslyxic]

Just so we are perfectly what I am asking for is to return to the same difficulty level of SB, ShB and EW when it comes to normal dungeons, trials and raids.
And to all the people giving me tips on how to play, thank very much but I've been playing for 6 years, might not be a 1.0 players but I know how to play the game, and I stand by what I wrote in the OP, there is a clear jump on difficulty in normal content compared to the last 3 expansions and if you don't notice it congratulations on being a big d!ck player, I guess.

I would say the first boss is slightly undertuned even for normal. That's not necessarily a bad thing for the first boss of an expansion but it felt like it could use a little extra.

The second boss is fine. I know groups were having a rough time this morning but most people were also going in at minimum ilvl. Once people are at 700+, the boss will feel better. I would add that the conal AoE used as players are dodging hearts could use a stronger visual. It was hard to see and trying to pick out the boss facing while dodging hearts can be difficult.

The third boss is a mess mechanically. That one needs adjustment for normal. Too many overlapping mechanics as the boss keeps jumping around.

The fourth boss is fine. I'd say that fight is the best designed for normal. It just takes a little practice when it comes to the memory game.

And before anyone comes in accusing me of being an elitist savage raider, feel free to check my logs. They aren't impressive. But apparently the ability to hit your buttons in more or less the correct order is beyond the bar for "casual."

Sorry, but that's a really crappy attitude to bring here. None of those were fights where players could get by just by hitting buttons in more or less the correct order (though the first fight came close, which is why I said I felt it could use a little something more).

Players have natural skill caps regardless of all those things you contemptuously list. That natural skill gets lowered when they are suffering from one of those conditions.

Trying to downplay your performance is pointless when the logs aren't representative of the entire player base and normal is supposed to be for the entire player base.

The problem with that is a high amount would like the difficulty returned from ARR :P

This is a serious case of get good. You have been playing for 100 levels now. These raids are optional content and are not even too hard for DF by any means. It is beyond ridiculous to me that you can't even give this content 24 hours before dunking on it for being too difficult when people are still just learning the mechanics. Not to mention this content is going to become easier as gear outscales it in a month.

I actually struggled in Endwalker, so to me Dawntrail is unplayable
and It isn't for lack of trying, I promise you I study video's and Give My ALL. SO I am sick of people saying we're struggling because we're not trying!
And I am sick of the Rude attitude people are giving, This is not the community I have grown to love, These people don't care about anyone's experience but their own!
I am currently not playing Due to frustration, and being stuck on a dungeon.
I log in do my beast tribe and go play GW2 But I am seriously considering it may be time to actually quit the game.

I genuinely do not understand how you could even get stuck in a dungeon. Even when you die every 2 mechanics, a mediocre DF pt can easy carry you through any dungeons.

I don't run with players, I have Anxiety, and My heart races, and My hands shake so much so that It's sometimes hard to even keep them on the keys, I don't want to burden others so i run with trusts, and Put off Trials for months

If you don't like doing content and prefer a social experience outside of running story, the game is not forcing you to do this. If you do not like raiding, the gear provided should not be important to you anyway. This content is going to be easier when gear level outscales it in a month. This isn't an attempt to tell you that your feelings are invalid, but this is also a hard case of a small minority expecting developers to pander to them constantly while ruining the fun for everyone else. A game for everyone is a game for nobody.

As someone who also started in stormblood what I have to say is I’m sorry but the difficulty is just fine. As you play through the game the difficulty is supposed to get harder because you are supposed to improve that’s the point of battle content.
New telegraphs are very fresh and keep the game exciting and with the honey bee fight a little bit of chaos can be appreciated.
Is it casual content yes but it’s not braindead content it’s made for casual people to have something slightly more difficult to do that’s why it has always been Normal trials> alliance raids> normal raids> EX/Savage.
Coddling players isn’t the way to go the players need to learn dying is 100% okay getting a vuln is okay but learning for the next time it happens is what should be happening not complaining because you don’t like it or can’t react fast enough. Learn attack names and such I know plenty of people who are on the casual side who look up guides just because the wanna put in the effort and get better and I know people with mental and physical disabilities that play the game and do what they can for themselves to improve and make the game and content more enjoyable for themselves that is not on the devs.
