Difficulty of normal content.

[Volgia]

What a pompous arrogant elitist attitude you have putting words into others mouths.. I've never had such problems with playing this game before dawntrail normals. The game is meant to be for everyone not elitist pricks that went everything set so hard it can be used to filter out players. How greedy are you when you already have savages?

Sorry but to be precise what is that you are asking of Dawntrail?

[Granis]

How is it being "Cruel to healers"? It's asking you to use your overwhelming amount of resources to HEAL. And not only you, melees have healing resources, casters have shields, we got mitigation, we got tanks that shoulder healing without a need of an actual healer. Just step up your game at level 99, read the tool tips of your cast bar and go have fun.

how when the mechanics and this dot does literally so much damage that people will end up dead before i can actually stop moving long enough to heal them? hell, the mechanic snapshots so fast you don't even have time to instant cast unless you have like a mmo mouse and can keybind everything...

Your keyboard will do for hotkeys, as for the mech snapshots if it's killing people so much they should learn how to dodge it. I died a few times to it when I did the dungeon, I don't shame people for failing or for being on learning stages on their class, I just don't like it when they ask to dumb down the content for them to clear it without any effort.

If you wanna become a better healer and know how to keybind your heals, there are a few resources out there in youtube that can help you, it helped me. I relocated most of my keybinds to keys that I could easily reach with one hand, not the 1 - 10 the default gives you.

except Dawntrail is seemingly even using even story dungeons to filter "bad" players

No, it just that ''bad'' player are used to watch netflix on the side while barely paying attention and pressing nothing else but their 1-2-3 combo.

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.

Do you mean savage or normal? If you mean savage i would understand but if you mean normal? I'm so sorry but that's just a skill issue.

Yeah and it's level 100 normals lol. The average andy is doing fine. This is literally NOWHERE near Savage or Extreme level. You can try using your eyes by now, you've had 5 expansions to try and do so. Learning to read castbars and keep an eye on boss animations may also be beneficial if you're struggling. But don't go calling everyone "Elitist" because YOU are struggling.

I wanted to wait to see the raid tier before I say anything. There are already post about dungeon and trial difficulty, and now normal raids should be thrown into the discussion too, and I might repeat points already said but I think we should really make a point of this, we (the people not ok with this difficulty) need for the devs to hear it to hopefully make a course correction.

The problem with the difficulty on normal fights as I see it is:
-Use and abuse of non standard telegraphs.
-Nasty mechanic overlaps, stuff you would see on
All this has been making fights in this expansion frustrating and exhausting.

The Honey B fight had me wishing for the healer to not raise me, I was there in the floor, dead for the Nth time, thinking that I don't really want to be on that duty.

And it's not an issue of learning the fight, because that I can do, but we don't do this content alone, you know? I think it was the 4th time I was doing Valigarmanda when I finally managed to finish without dying myself, but that's a moot point when half the party was dead half of the time, even knowing the fight doesn't make it any less of a disheartening experience.

And yes, this concerns normal raids too even if they are optional content. In fact I gonna take the skip option for this raid tier, something I haven't done since I started playing in SB. And that's the point really, for the most part in the past 3 expansions difficulty for normal content was fair outside of some hiccup here and there.

I firmly believe that content meant to be done via the duty finder (where you don't choose who you playing with) shouldn't be this level of punishing. And I know that JP people do savage in the duty finder but we don't do that in NA or EU, for better or worse western players doesn't behave like JP players.

Finally I think that people that thrive with difficulty (the ones that demand harder content) already have extremes, savages, ultimate, criterion dungeons, and more (Yoshi-p is even touting of savage alliances), this people is eating really, really good. Do they need to take normal content too? Can casual players have something easy-ish to play? Please?

What the heck? It has been one day ? Why do you want to be able to go into everything o ly be able to press one button and not move? If so this game isn’t for you and I am so sick of the game only catering to people like you. I left the game last expansion because there is nothing for midcore players. Normal. Mode this time was fun I actually died, dying is great. You do not die in real life. You keep going and guess what you learn from mistakes. Mr happy put out guides already just watch them if you don’t get what to do. The honey bee is easy , do mechanics over dps, if you are dead you are doing no dps so just pop sprint and run around in safe places. I don’t get what is so hard. I am older now and my reaction time sucks and o well it’s fun

The one with an attitude is you. Asking everyone to play around what you want is kinda an awful attitude.

I love the tuning for the Dawntrail Battle Content. It requires you to pay attention to what's going on. I actually have to pay some level of attention. I don't feel the need to go do something else on my second monitor to not be bored. Old dungeons almost entirely let me just not pay attention to the game, what's the point? There should be some level of challenge at the lowest tier. The skill difficulty should not be so low that you can play it in the background while doing other tasks. Current raids have very engaging fun mechanics that require decent levels of puzzle solving.

Um I am old ? This is even to easy but it’s fun. Please don’t lump us older people with slower react time in with the people complaining.
