Let me Veto the Nier Raid

[Retropolitans]

Their hp values are fine, people just suck at their jobs and die too much, and dps is abysmally low as a result.

Keep in mind your average alliance roul party member is probably someone like this guy:

Ive only done them once, and i was sooo bored out of my fricken mind, every fight id just tab away and afk after the boss was only down to 75% hp.
but now that u say this, i think that must have been it. it did feel like it was taking forever, but like i said, I was afk, watching youtube videos instead, so my sense of time was off.

Fun story btw, they were in uldah shout the other week complaining about this exact topic. When nobody agreed with them, they got insanely pa about it and started lauding their forced ct queues over everyone there, telling people to cope if they wanted higher lv content. Then they got dogpiled and eventually stopped responding. Was funny as fuck.

But yeah get a competent group and the bosses melt.

Ivalice and Nier raids are the most fun ones, I will take them any day.
I think it’s pretty sad when rlts usage is all about “give me the reward asap” and not the actual game you are playing. If you don’t enjoy the content rlt can offer you - just use other means to get what you need, I would say.

It's one of the best raids only the high ilvl makes it boring. But that can be said about everything in this game.

Give me a veto for ARR alliance raids and EW ones then, those usually take me longer to complete than when I get NieR raids.

You would think that at level 80/90 people would know how to press their buttons but no, they don't. Carries over to 100.

If you actually synched down to the minimum iLL on Crystal Tower and Mhach Raids, you would feel them rather brutal, I think they should add that and put those into Old School Alliance Roulette and remove them from the current ones.

Please please please just leave the raid and eat the lockout if you don't want it, that makes space for the rest of us who actually want to play the game.

I wouldn’t increase HP (damage sponges are no fun) but I’d make mechanics more punishing. Don’t know your prime numbers? That’s worth an insta death.

The problem with only making the mechs more punishing is that it doesn't solve the root issue, even if you make screwing up primes insta-death it won't matter because MathMan can't stay alive long enough for the punishment to go off. I would vastly prefer a damage sponge that actually gets to use all its abilities than a striking dummy that goes down before getting to the fun part.

I'd adjust the item level sync. There's no reason we should be at 130 item level in Labyrinth of the Ancients when its minimum item level is 50. Bad enough that the gear from the level 50 job quests already makes the drops there obsolete.

Honestly, this would be far better than just upping health. I'd suggest putting the ilvl sync at whatever ilvl the gear drops are +10/20. Of course SE will never do anything like this, but it's fun to think about.

Only if I get to veto the entirety of ARR and EW alliance raids

Except you World of Darkness, you're cool.

I like em', especially the one with the weird scream that always solicits some sort of comment.

I support having the choice to not get them. Sorry I don't play FFXIV to play a crossover with a game I have zero interest in. Should've been a trial or something like monster hunter instead of robbing the first of an actual ally raid set. Even if some of the mechanicss are fun in those raids, they are absolute damage sponges and repeating the mechanics over and over gets old very fast and the runs take forever. Ivalice was my favourite raid set and that's a cross over too. But at least they made an effort to tie in with the games lore for that one.
