o1s and o6s

ok ok hold your horses

O1S being a striking dummy was a good thing for people who were getting use to the game

that's not how that works

yes it is

you gotta learn you rotation and shit

i use to do 100 dps now i do 3k

a9s may have been easy, but it still wasn't a striking dummy because it's savage

the first raid tier did it right and got me into a constant state of improvment

o1s was

O1S being a striking dummy probably was done because of how hard A1S was

o1s was more of a striking dummy than the other NORMAL MODE fights

that's poor design

it's wasn't really a striking dummy though

there was a lot of moving around

also a1s wasn't difficult, that's not what stopped people

i think your just a hardcore raider who only wants ultimate

it stopped insanely ultra casual people who did like 500dps, but apart from that it wasn't

just like how i don't want time wasted on blue mage

because it's too casual

Blue mage is a waste of development time

ikr

we should of gotten geomancer instead

just like pagos was

lmfao

pagos was meh

the other 2 are great

its LE cheese PogChamp

I mean they're objectively still not from a game design standpoint, but to each their own

fair

cheese man reporting in

we clearly have very different opinions

The only man that matters

also I'm definitely not someone who only wants ultimate karp, I just wan't them to design content that isn't copied over mechanics from older fights or a waste of development time

I've still done everything this expansion with the exception of Pagos and onwards

pyros is pretty good very easy to level tbh

oh also, it's one of the few popular sub-based mmos on the market, it's fucking laughable that they only have ONE us datacenter

no eastcoast servers at all

and on top of that basically all they do for new content is copy mechanics from old fights or try to introduce gameplay aspects of other games into certain specific thing that people don't end up spending time on

We are getting new datacenters

not in the good way

Also US has 2 datacenters

EU has 1

no that's not what I mean

they have one server

?

the datacenters are ONLY separated because they refuse to upgrade hardware and their old stuff wouldn't be able to handle it being the same

all US servers are in the exact same location on the west coast

the new data center will literally just be a new machine in the same building

same with EU

on top of that they've introduced cross-world stuff in SB, so people found friends on other servers

but then they go "haha now you won't be able to play with them anymore because we're stupid and are splitting the servers across more data centers"

Just because square is too cheap to spend money on proper server maintenance

or as I said, even investing in east coast servers for, you know, the second largest sub-based mmo on the entire market

lmao

i assume your not getting shadowbringers then 😛

No I am, I still have hope

but unless something changes it's probably the last I'll be around for

along with a lot of other people who share the same feelings

It's disappointing to see honestly, ARR was an amazing reboot of a dying game born off poor decisions

well

no king rules forever

HW was an incredible expansion with MUCH improved story writing and direction

or whatever the wc3 quote is

and gordias might have been a rough start for raiding in the expansion since it was definitely overtuned, but midas and creator was incredible

i doubt you'll ever see midas and creator ever again

time to switch to wow

and then SB comes along and trashes the improved story direction and writing because they tried to fit too much into it and ended up without substance

as for raids, deltascape was promising, at least o3s/o4s, but then the other tiers came along like "lol copy paste old ideas"

o1s might have been terribly designed and basically just a normal mode fight, but at least it had meme potential

greatest clip of the expansion

even two tiers later

I'm disappointed that none of the mods updated the server name today, so for compensation i did it for tomorrow too

jeez these lazy mods

mods ≠ gods

actually incorrect
