It's mostly horrible since it's a early game leveling dungeon that if you've leveled enough classes, you'll have seen it enough to be sick of it. There's worse leveling dungeons but nobody really likes the really early game dungeons any more.

Satasha is fine as a first dungeon in FFXIV. It's not Toto-Rak or Aurum Vale.

Inspector Gesicht posted:What's so bad about that place? I started XIV in 2020 and don't remember anything about it. Honestly nothing, it's an extremely inoffensive dungeon. But the way the leveling roulette goes, it's perhaps among the most likely dungeons for you to get sent into, and the way that level syncing works means that most players will end up there with barely any buttons, bored to tears. Basically Sastasha's only sin is being the first dungeon. I still say that what they should've done to trigger FFXIV players is to go Aurum Vale. And then merge it with the Marsh Cave to trigger the FFI players, too.

Sastasha is probably by far the most played dungeon in FF14 because it’s the lowest level dungeon and the first dungeon. Since people have a daily roulette that randomly picks a dungeon from available dungeons for all 4 players, sastasha is always on that list. And of course since it’s the first dungeon it also will be most likely to have a new player who isn’t very good (or strong) at the game. While people are generally sweet and helpful, it’s still a bit annoying to be slowed down by a new player when you’re just trying to finish your daily roulette. It’s not triggering or anything, it’s just a big ol’ wink at the FF14 community. It’s honestly a very solid, inoffensive, if a bit boring, dungeon.

It seems like the auto optimize of gear is really bad since it wants to put my samurai in all mage gear

Maybe it's trying to tell you something about your choice of class. Or maybe it thinks it's in Final Fantasy Tactics, where you wanted your samurai to have very high magic attack because Draw Out was magic-based. Or you preferably gave Draw Out to a black mage.

Sastasha also returns as a level 50 hard mode dungeon, and then Shadowbringers has a dungeon that very directly references Sastasha (Anamnesis Anyder), including a jazzy remix of its theme. The dungeon's a meme and a welcoming ground.

I find that people only ever wipe in that first room. Coincounter isn't as bad now they've added the AoE markers. I guess being a healer means that I can cover for people absolutely refusing to eat fruit, that would probably be a lot worse if it were the healer not eating the fruit and dying.

Any reviewer who hits this point in the game and still has complaints about the story and writing probably think Hercules and Xena were bad shows with bad writing too. VanillaGorilla posted:Hahahaha, they put Sastasha right up front in the game to trigger all the FFXIV players. Sastasha's probably the best, least offensive low level dungeon in FFXIV.

But yeah, if I was the healer I bet it would feel a lot less bad, as compared to my usual experience of "deeps eat fruit then everyone die"

I'd say Tam Tara but yeah I'm perfectly happy to get Sastasha DACK FAYDEN posted:As a design, I agree, but as an experience, I strongly disagree, because even in 2022 people just loving cannot execute and it is just too drat easy to go off the rails The experience is a lot better when you don't let it live rent free in your head and just do the dungeon. My favorite thing to do when I'm tanking is to just go through the middle of the first room because it makes people go insane before they eventually realize how not bad it is.

Has anyone got their hands on the PC version of SoP yet and can talk about performance?No Dignity posted:I think there's a good case to be made for Copperbell too, just off the back of how dull the boss encounters are After they take the glue pools out of Toto-rak in the 6.1 patch, Copperbell is gonna be the worst dungeon, no contest. It's fine when you're just getting started with the game, but on subsequent runs the first two bosses being 3 minutes each of thumb-twiddling is the worst.

It sucks to get in duty roulette, because you probably will only have three or four buttons to push. Also, everyone has really low HP, so a Healer might have a bit less time to do DPS than normal.

It’s not even that difficult compared to other mmo content. Players can’t be trusted with anything more complex than corridor running apparently

IcePhoenix posted:Aurum Vale isn't even in the top five of worst xiv dungeons tbqh most people who hate Aurum Vale were traumatized by it in the early ARR days when it was on the same server cluster as all the end game dungeons so it was laggier than the other dungeons, and Coincounter didn't have AoE markers to telegraph his attacks. Also its extremely yellow. Its perfectly fine nowadays, though. Except for the yellow.

Beat Crystal Mirage and did a farm run of it too. Pretty cool and the boss wasn't too bad, but it looks weirdly... oily on PS4. Experimented with mace Tyrant as well which was interesting and pretty effective actually.
