Forked Tower

[Saber02]

Normally I don't post anything but this is too much. Why has the community dropped the ball on not continuing to blast the boards about that there is still no Normal mode for Forked Tower going on 1 year after it's disastrous launch. I loved how the Bozjan Southern Front was implemented and loved CLL and DR. I hated the entry system for Eureka's BA as well as getting kicked out because Spirit of Remembrance deciding to not work. I'm not buying the they didn't have the resources line. We as a community need to do better and not lose focus and keep reminding the devs that they screwed up royally and the "fixes" that was implemented primarily benefited the hardcore players and not the casual to midcore players. I would love to try Forked Tower but do not want to be that one guy to ruin a run for everyone else simply because I made a mistake or I can't prog it because of the stupid 3 death limit. I don't know why they couldn't just replicate CLL or DR, those were fun. I would also want to know they are so dense and refuse to make it up to the community by refusing to fix their mistake and repair the trust and confidence in them and FFXIV by still not having a Forked Tower Normal yet.

I thought they said a normal mode was coming for North Crescent?

People are no longer discussing it because the devs have already confirmed the raid in the new zone is getting a normal mode but normal mode for Forked Tower is not happening, so there's nothing more to discuss. If you want to try FT there are Discord servers like The Help Lines which hold learning groups where it's okay and expected to make mistakes. I ran with them for BA and DRS and it was a pretty painless and enjoyable experience, I'd definitely recommend checking them out.

I like the concept of players helping players alot, but I dislike the lack of responsibility of SE for not keeping this area of the game in general covered either.

Yoshida already said in a live letter, there is no budget to create normal south fork tower, they claim to have learned from this mistake and have promised a normal north fork tower for patch 7.55

If they have learned from their mistake is still to be seen.

I still think the community needs to keep making noise till the devs make a Forked Tower Blood Normal before the North Horn launches, otherwise what's the point in even in playing in North Horn if we are missing out on the first tower.

Also, we should never accept a "oops we made it savage" and then never correcting the problems. Cloud of Darkness was another "oops" that was never corrected. The devs acknowledged the mistakes but they never go back and fix them which regrettably makes what alot of us want to play now dead content.

Devs: "Oops we made this content into savage difficulty"
Players: "So you're going to fix it, right?"
Devs: "lol no"

sry but, its not even extreme mode difficulty
The mechs are very simple and easy to understand. On top of that, you have people that callout literally everything if you join any helper discord. Literally everyone can clear it by now
the "dps checks" also got nerfed multiple times by now (and get more nerfs with 7.55)

I will never join a duty that will kick me (cause a fail state) after only three deaths. That's not a normal mode difficulty, especially when death is not a big deal in normal mode content for this game. Difficulty isn't just about DPS checks, "easy to understand" mechanics, or even 'nerfs.' PT is a prime example of that and how Square sees difficulty. Stones 51-98 are easy. The only difficult part of PT challenge floors is the untelegraphed AOEs. If they were telegraphed, PT would be a cakewalk. How so? A wipe kills the run. A wrongly placed mob can cascade into a failed duty and back to the checkpoint. FT is similar in this by making 3 fatal mistakes a run killer. But you are right, this content, just like PT isn't difficult at all... once you know it.
