Can we get a storyline version of dungeons and raids?

[Silverfauve]

Greetings,

I love most of FFXIV. But I don't care for the dungeons and raids at all. They are way too complicated for my taste, with too much light effects and too much boss mechanics. I am currently stuck with my Trust in Yuweyawata Field Station at the second boss when he casts Lost Hope. I am used to move around with my mouse, and when I try to do it with wasp, I get nowhere. So I keep wiping. Which is pretty unbearable at the best of times but even more so when you just try to get past a horrible storyline.

I hate Dawntrail. I loved everything before this expansion but oh my gosh, I can't stand this one. I have barely played FFXIV since it came out and now finally got the courage to work through it. All I want to do is get past the patches and cross my fingers that 8.0 is much better.

I really don't understand why we don't get an easy story mode for the dungeons and raids that lock the msq.So people who aren't in it for the dungeons and raids, can work through the story as well.

I can gather some friends and help you get through the dungeons and trials, if you'd like. We're happy to help.

The mechanic killing you is one that alters your movement and isnt seen often. A spinning arrow appears over your head, and when you press forward you move in the direction the arrow is spinning rather then whichever way forward would be. You can defeat this a few ways. Carefully timing when to press go is the basic way. You can repeatedly tap forward to slow down the spin and lock into the direction you want more easily. Ironically, one of the easier places to practice this move was in the Fall Guys crossover at the Gold Saucer. The next time it goes live, you can practice if you feel like it.

Alternatively, if you have or can level a tank up you can ignore all this. Stand right next to the boss and trigger your invulnerability skill before the attack goes out. You wont die or have to move, and the trust NPCs will finish the boss before it can attempt to use the attack again.

Alternative #2. Go with other players. If you fail the move, they can still res you and finish the dungeon as long as one or two of them have learned how to do it.

I kinda agree with you I feel like they should buff the trust NPCs to be able to res you during dungeon it should be impossible to fail in trust runs because these people are doing the dungeon for story if they wanted a challenge etx they would go about doing it as a roulette or with players that can revive them if they fail mechs. that said the mechanics are part of the game they can't remove them because players like myself that enjoy mechs to learn and do the dungeon daily would be missing a feeling of progression a reason to want the gear to make the dungeons easier with our own effort.

What Frizze said. I say queue up, put up party finder and join with other players so they can res you I didn't know how that mechanic works the first time so I went on youtube with the spinning finger lost hope mechanic and I got it down the second time.

We already have the Willful buff in the 8-person trials. SE just needs to add it to the dungeons. It'd be a good balance between being allowed to make some fatal mistakes and still having to demonstrate that you can more or less get through the dungeon without being dragged along as a corpse the whole way.
