Pet peeves: The return (Part 8)

Evoker! :3

that’s going to be a no from me

Dwarf Fury Warrior (Mountain Thane)

fer khaz modan

Was considering reviving my dwarf monk but not 100% sold on it.

The difficulty of duties in FFXIV, specifically the demands to the player’s reaction, are ramping up with each expansion, and I honestly don’t know what to do. At this point, soon enough I won’t be able to do them even on very easy, no matter how hard I try.

do you mean the single player ones as part of the MSQ?

Yes.

And if you’re going to say that they’re piss-easy content that even a mouth-breathing keyboard-turner can get through, I’m going to slap you around a bit with a large trout.

no, some of them are quite brutal. I think the Stormblood ones are the worst for it, but it’s been a while.

Me failing the hour long Thancred versus kungfu grandpa duty thing only to have to repeat it was one of the many reasons I hated that entire sequence.

god I hated that guy, because I knew the second I would actually fight him properly I’d smoke him in seconds but he would just have 20 cutscenes showing how cool and unstoppable he is ooo i can parry a blade with my hand

For me the worst one until Dawntrail was ā€œWorthy of His Backā€. It was the only one I couldn’t do on normal difficulty (specifically the orb phase) no matter how hard I tried.

But then the first solo duty in Dawntrail felt harder than that one before the orbs.

it was especially lame after coming straight from zenos in stormblood

i’ve already done this trope and played it out. i don’t need to do it again thank you

I think the difficulty of them can depend on your job or the character your made to play so I won’t say your wrong. Some of them are grueling, like the Ran’jiit one Akamito mentioned.

Dawntrails were fine for me but i wont say thats the norm for others

I’m alright with them so long as I don’t have to play another character.

Gods am I fed up with being stuck as Thancred, Alphinaud or Alisae with only 3 of my buttons when I can play all three of those classes normally on Leo.

The only good ones were playing as Hien and Estinien fite me

Also. Because i know for many this was the most hated until SE nerfed its difficulty.

Original In From the Cold.

wasn’t it only nerfed to make the easy/v. easy difficulties easier, the normie one is still untouched

Probably. I only did it once before the change never did it again

Screams of anguish I did this while sleep deprived on day 1 it was BRUTAL. It’s the one thing I am glad they nerfed in terms of solo duties bc hot damn never again. (I say while gonna have to do it on another 2-3 characters sometime).

Also anyone complaining about the difficulty of Easy and V Easy I am sorry to say but at this point it is solely a skill issue if you can’t think ahead for 3 seconds (server tick). The game has had a lenient curve going upwards to teach you the timers for things so idk man, I don’t know what to say and I have seen some :poop: in endgame content.

TWW storytelling being character-agnostic does make sense, but sometimes it is very funny

Serious Character, very Seriously: there’s no other option. I must give my life to ignite these explosive barrels.

Me, who can spit dragonfire out in globs like artillery: i feel like there’s another option here chief
