What's going on?! (returning player)

[SgtLunatics]

Just bought the Dawntrail expansion yesterday and finished off Endwalker and I've just beaten the first trial in the expansion and...

...can i just ask, what the hell is going on?! The dungeon bosses halfway through Endwalker and so far in Dawntrail are all over the place. I have no idea what's going on half the time. There's pointers everywhere, split second reaction aoes, explosions, target lines, off screen attacks, and more!

Luckily, I'm a tank so i can survive a few of these but i'll be damned if i know what's going on lol.

Anywayz, just wanted to get that off my chest Back to the game!

I can assure you that there are no real split second reaction aoes, only visual cues you didn't see. If you do end up dead, feel free to ask what you missed, people are generally helpful.

Yeah I know I'm exaggerating but damn the amount you gotta keep tabs on is nuts. I'm sure i'll get used to it though, as a returning player i'm still trying to get my muscle memory back as i keep pressing the wrong buttons. At the moment, between that and everything going on on-screen, it's overwhelming
