a cartoon duck posted:paradigm's breach is the most hell-is-other-people raid in all of ff14. you could queue into it, leave immediately and eat a 30 minute queue restriction penalty, wait, queue up for literally any other roulette except msq, and still finish before an average paradigm's breach alliance does One of the things I really like about FFXIV is the predictability of the roulettes in terms of how long it will take a reasonably skilled party to complete. If I queue for a dungeon I know it's going to take 15-20 minutes, sometimes less. Trials/normal raids are gonna take me 10 minutes, often less, unless it's A9N or maybe A11N. ADR is the only roulette where you could get Syrcus Tower and be done in fifteen minutes, or get Tower at Paradigm's Reach and be done in like an hour. It's bonkers, and I'm skeptical that ilvl thresholds in the next patch will fix that problem. (also not killing off MSQ roulette when they had the chance was an unforced error, even if I like the end result)

If I could go back in time and stop myself from even starting up the ivalice raids so they don't end up my roulette pool I would. On the other hand I could run the EW raids forever

Somehow in all my time playing this game I never stepped into the bacon lasers on the second boss of Doma. Did so today (thought towers were coming up, it was a stack, and I flinched before thinking). Turns out they knock you back when they blow so I pinballed between three of them. Thought I was hosed, but it turns out they do very little damage. Glad I could give my group a laugh. Also, first time healer trip report: the difference between levels where everyone has tools and things are going well and the levels where nobody does and things are going badly are SO MUCH less stressful. I have ways to heal people other than hardcasting a Cure II and hoping they stop standing in stuff long enough for it to go off! Bruceski fucked around with this message at 21:19 on Sep 1, 2023 |

I would like more mounts where you become the mount instead of riding on it. I would like more animals to transform into as mounts. I sometimes miss my WoW druid's flight form.

Just because I don't like the EW raids doesn't mean that everything is terrible. I just think that the current 24man raid series, thus far, is the worst one they've done.

I think Aglaia and Euphrosyne are cool looking spectacle but Euphro in particular is just too easy. If the third one is Orbonne or Breach level pain I'll be happy

Figuring out the LoS for all the meteors, dealing with the spinning clones, and figuring out where the gently caress you're supposed to plant yourself during the forced movement section so that you don't either wipe your party or run straight into the killplane is a lot for a single fight where half the raid probably hasn't done it in a year+.

Nophica still regularly nukes half the raid with the forced movement phase after Landwaker, but it's true that the rest of Euphrisyne isn't exactly hard. I guess we'll have to wait for a month or so and see what the Thalia raid is like.

Speaking of difficulty, how hard should I expect the new alliance raid and dungeon to be? Cause I have been watching a patch retrospective series on youtube and it mentioned how brutal HW alliance raids (other than void ark) and some hard mode dungeons like Sohm Al were at release.

If the third one is Orbonne or Breach level pain I'll be happy This is my opinion as well. Algaia has some good surprise mechanics the first run as well. I’m sad that apparently the scales mech is now skipped though because it’s the big setpiece of the fight.

The dungeon should be very easy, the alliance raid will be clearable with 24 blind idiots as usual. Don’t worry about it. A lot of the HW on content hardness was due to really bad balance at the time and the devs specifically avoid that now. hopeandjoy fucked around with this message at 22:02 on Sep 1, 2023 |

I feel like majority of the issues I have with the EW raids are just the characters/setting. I don't find them engaging at all. I assume this is how many non-NieR fans felt about the NieR raids. I'm happy for the people who like them. I just hope that the DT raids are more interesting.

I like the EW raids for the scenery and music, and the movement of the fights is fun, but they are probably easier than they should be. If they mixed some of the mechanics together more often instead of having them be one at a time, I feel like that would probably put it in a good place.

Cause I have been watching a patch retrospective series on youtube and it mentioned how brutal HW alliance raids (other than void ark) and some hard mode dungeons like Sohm Al were at release. given the past two have been pushovers, not at all. plus the game as a whole is in a different spot as in HW. more markers are standardized, the range of how punishing alliance raid mechanics can be is much more fixed, and class mechanics aren't fighting you with timers and limited resources. there are a couple good points of comparison here; think about how few alliance raids have had bits where you fall off compared to the void ark ones, for example, or compare the "three people get marked for big explosions" mechanic on TG cid to Ozma's equivalent where six people get marked and the whole alliance gets punished with damage+damage down if two of them overlap. explaining how fucky TP was, how harsh cleric stance was, and the difficulties of the buff maintenance timers in HW are just kind of "you had to have been there" things Mister Olympus fucked around with this message at 22:29 on Sep 1, 2023 |

As cool as that would be you can't fish from the secondary positions on a mount, or on the pilot either I think, so it would be disappointing unless they did some major code revisions to allow it.
