I know that. Dark Souls and Ninja Gaiden are some of my favorite games. People love a challenge.

If a game is too easy, it's boring. No matter how good the rest of the game is.

I've played action games that have great combat systems but if the AI is horrible and I don't feel in danger and I don't have to try, the game is crap.

That is untrue since the easiest games are the most popular. It is all about having fun that is the key word fun not easy.

Oh yes, things went perfectly, and I'm a total stranger to these "mechanics" you speak of, Hyrist.

That's a Drg tanking Ifrit, strafing his flamethrowers while the Brd main heals, because I died on hellfire, and the SHIELDLESS pld died after.

Oh do tell me how things went perfectly. We won right here, btw. I'm not saying that our skill and experience didn't make this win possible... but I was also pretty drunk on top of being a TERRIBLE healer soo.. this was the first time I healed in ARR.


I noticed you're a stranger to them, not even knowing that conjurer gets a field revive. So far you've shown images of nothing but level 20 Ifrit. Where's Brayfox's Longstop? You keep citing the fourth instance you encounter as some sort of godsend of difficulty.

You got extremely lucky to have managed that win. Thank your DRG and BRD for knowing how to improvise around your drunken *****

Out of curiosity, I'd like to know what you used your Limit Break on.

Ha, luck has nothing to do with it. It was easy enough to complete without using a shield, or any gear at all. The PLD should have been one-shot, but instead he was dmg'd for less than 1 cure healed. He was kept at full hp the entire time, until I died to the JP lag eruptions.

Level 1 was used by the Drg after I died, it was about 95% full to level 2 when he used it out of desperation.

Who says MMORPG leveling needs to be easy (monotonous)?


I guess it depends on whether or not the developer likes money.


Are you saying easier games make more money? Because you're so wrong.


I'm saying that if they can't retain new players long enough to get hooked on the game, they'll make a lot less money. If people quit the game out of frustration or because it seems like an impenetrable wall, they make less money.


You act like the next step beyond "brain dead, made-for-babies, easy" is "impenetrable wall".



No.

What is "braid dead, made-for-babies" to an experienced MMO player can sometimes seem like "impenetrable wall" to new players.

Difficulty is not an absolute concept, it's relative to your own ability. Some people are so used to moving out of the fire while keeping a DPS rotation, watching aggro, and seeing when they can toss a top off heal on some one else in the raid that anything less than that barely keeps them awake, while other people are flummoxed by simply needing to get out of a big red circle on the ground while still pressing "1." The hope is that the latter group can move closer in skill to the former group by the time they all reach max level.

Also, keep in mind that this game is meant to be playable with a controller, and a mouse and keyboard gives much faster reaction time and more precise control. So now, content has to be tuned with that in mind too. Bottom line is the game is going to be very easy if you're in the veteran MMO/PC player demo, and probably won't be challenging for quite a while, and that's by design. That's the burden of being so awesome.

It's true, we did. Once you learn the basic mechanic of avoid the stuff on the ground and realize the pattern goes outside > inside > outside, it's not overly difficult. Of course, that's kind of a bad example Ostia, since we both have 15+ years of mmo experience. New players will have a much tougher time understanding what's going on. I will say that's it's rather crazy that a healer can die, and Ifrit can basically still be kited indefinitely without him killing the rest of the group as long as they pay attention to where they step.

You could do lots of FFXI content naked too. You just don't do as much damage or get hurt as bad with proper gear. The issue here isn't that the fights are designed overly easy. It's that they are designing it as intro to medium entry content.

Resource management is what made FFXI hard not the gear for most fights. Monsters hit hard and had those AoEs that cast too fast to interrupt that wrecked havoc. They usually came one after the other. But again this release isn't the end of where endgame content can go. For this class system of ARR to work, resource management of jobs must be tuned to where you must rely on parties to get the job done.

Yoshi said that they can go balls hard when new endgame first gets introduced then scaled back in difficulty after the next big ride is ready. Some of the design team of XI is developing the combat here too. It's not like they don't know how to make fights more challenging. This is a design choice for now.

Dungeons that are needed to unlock game features such as retainers and such should be easy. I'd say even the ones that are required for story progression should be doable for new to mmo folks. The dungeons that are truly optional should be where the real challenges are.

It's also a smart think for tha tank to pull Ifrit to one side of the field so that the rest of the players can position themselves to evade the inside/outside Radiant Plumes.

If the tank sits there and tanks the thing in the center... well, you're going to have a much more difficult time.

The point of this all is pattern recognition, and the fact that, guess what, you guys recognized the pattern. Good for you. That doesn't make the fight easy. Easy would be being able to completely ignore the Plumes and Eruptions all together.

What you are arguing is that the fight is simple, and if you realize you can dodge the majority of the powerful damage, which follows an easily discernable pattern, that you can survive the fight on minimal gear.

That's what we call a skill check. You passed it.

EASY fights are gear-checks only. If you have the right gear for your level you win, period. You don't need to worry about the fight Gimicks. Is the skill check simple on a level 20 fight? Absolutely. You guys are rating this as if it's Ifrit Hard or Extreme and it's annoying to say the least.

Truely hard fights? Both Gear and Skill Checks. Raven Nevermore, the fight that Ostia mindlessly insulted to the point of inciting rage on my part, has both in abundance, to the degree that one slip up will likely wipe the run - and that there is literally no way to 'One Run' the fight, as it requires you to farm meterials for the fight to even survive the first move if you're not a tank.

Do Brayfox Longstop and try to revive someone twice, you'll see the exhaustion. But, hey, you want to hear a hell of a lot more people complain, make refresh mandatory in this game like it was in FFXI, and we'll have Bard Fantasy all over again.

So long as your players do their job in evading damage, there should be no need to be a major exhaustion issue in the game. Again, we're already seeing large traction in the complaints about TP exhaustion in fights.

................................................i hate you. Or at least... I hate that your logical explanation is making you agree with you.

Maybe it's because the three naked dudes all have a combined 500+ Ifrit wins under our belt from 1.0... but I didn't even realize that we automatically positioned Ifrit in the old spot, I set up where the "Whm Safe Zone" used to be, Archer was also legacy (wearing AF) and set up at the other safe spot instead of bunching up with me like I've seen people do on non-legacy servers.

The tank in the group inside my LS that we wiped twice to, was new, and tanked Ifrit away from everyone else, but still near the center. We lost after killing the fetter due to a lot of us not being able to run out of the center circle in time for Radiant Plume to hit us. (Second cycle, stuns were down.)

The Legacy Positioning for Ifrit is still optimal. Due to how close to the edges of both Radiant Plume attacks there are. I'd hate to think how a group of complete newbies figure out where to tank Ifrit in the long run.

Yes we do have over 15+ years of experience, but there is no excuse for one tank and one DD to beat ifrit from 50% hp to 0% HP! If it where 10-15% then ok, that might require skill, but 50% of HP ? That's just bad encounter design, and also there is this assumption that the % of new players that will be playing this game is HUGE! Most people in 2013 have experienced a MMO, and most of the people that will pick up this game initially will be MMO players, there is no indication that the number of new players will outnumber the number of MMO players, so this notion that the game has to be stupid easy because of "New Players" is unfounded.

Also nobody is asking for hardmodes, but a steep increase in difficulty would help the games longevity.

I'm not saying I disagree with you, which is why I said I thought it was crazy that this was possible. However, I do agree with Hyrist about the fight being more of a skill check than a DPS race or a gear check. Granted, it doesn't require an insane amount of skill once you figure out the pattern, but please just try and think of it from a brand new players perspective. If they've never seen a mechanic like that, they are going to have a harder time figuring out what to do, how to tank Ifrit, figure out why they have to kill the spike immediately, how to run in and out to avoid the eruptions, etc.

To us, and most people who have some experience in mmo's it's just common sense, but to any new player to an mmo, or even players who don't have a ton of mmo experience (hint, those coming solely from ffxi where running out of fire was never a mechanic) it will be a bit of a transition. The fight is required to progress in the story and even unlock something as simple as a chocobo, so the fact that it isn't overly difficult isn't necessarily a bad thing. In fact, I think it's a good thing in keeping newer players AND teaching them the very basic fundamentals of boss encounters and mechanics. A lot of the veterans here are taking that for granted because we already know the mechanic and have seen it before.

I guess we'll see Ostia, because I staunchly disagree with what you said, and unfortunately for your viewpoint, my stance seems to fall in line with that of the developers.

I'm of the belief that your view are highly skewed by your experiences and your inability, apparently, to view perspectives beyond your own. You are ahead of the skill curve, new players are, in my experience with them, not so. You also take to the negative that you and BartelX managed to Duo Ifrit from half way. But you fail to recognize how a moment like that might become memorable for someone who isn't jaded by their experiences. You flatly ignore the tension and victory that sort of situation would provide from someone else, where often a comeback victory can often be viewed as the best kind.

And there also becomes the inspiration factor for those less skilled than you. Say you and BartelX did that with two Duty Finder randoms, and you carried the fight. One of those people was having an extremely hard time getting through those fights, and suddenly, they witnessed two skilled MMO players Duo it. Provided they don't take it as a slight, they're going to be inspired to do better, to learn more and to get on your level. It is very possible to have mentored someone in that moment.

But you say those moment's shouldn't be possible.

Now, if this was level 40, and we were facing down Garuda, and this was still possible, then the line would be crossed for me and I'd be agreeing with you guys. Mainly because you're only 10 levels from cap at that point and should have gained a great deal of experience in the multitude of Dungeons and Guildhests you've should have done up until that point. However, this is level 20 we're talking here, and a level of forgiveness in the mechanics should still be given.

Again, Brayfox Longstop starts getting nasty with you, in my experience. I got revived, and the boss stopped, and targeted me immediately before I could even run out of my revive animation. And you couldn't straight tank it because not only would the tank occasionally be forced to sit in a vat of poison, but the Boss would too, and it healed itself if you let it stay there.

So while Ifrit had a pattern easy to recognize, this dragon's pattern was a little more erratic. And because I met a Dragon Breath + Venom Pool to the face in chain, my White Mage had to revive me, then found out she couldn't a second time because it would bottom out her cures and the tank was getting beaten on hard.

So no, I don't agree with a steep climb in difficulty. I'm rather ok with the scaling as it is now. Perhaps they can increase it slightly once they figure out how to balance out the TP and MP resources a bit more. But for now, having experienced the entirety of the available dungeons and the majority of the Guildhests, I can see the growing difficulty.

Which brings me to my next question: What about the other runs. We talked about Ifrit a whole hell of a lot here, and people got as far as talking about Haltali and stopped. No observation on how the manor changed, nor Longstop. Did you guys not get that far?

I bought both Demons Souls and Dark Souls, and I quit playing because they were too difficult. I couldn't beat the Flamelurker without glitch killing him. To me that is not fun. The game was cool for a while, but it's just too stressful. Dark Souls was just on another level of stressful, having ******** drop in to your world all the time to backstab you to death. Again, not fun, just stressful. I play a game to alleviate stress, not build it up.

I agree. Though we haven't seen a big chunk of the game. I'm assuming that's what's going to happen. Unless level 20 is the midpoint of the game.

I'm not sure I understand... the 20-man what?


Raid. I can show up to a raid without knowing anything. It can be my first foray into group content. It won't be in FFXIV.

Quote:
I get that the dungeons are necessary for quests in XIV, but people almost always do dungeons in other games for gear. Dungeon related quests and gear to kill mobs faster makes questing/grinding faster and you can queue while you solo. It's encouraged in every game I've played. I'm not really sure what forced grouping has to do with dungeon difficulty anyway though...


My point exactly, encouraged not required. Difficulty is tied into the requirement part of the game. That's why the game isn't more difficult early on. Yoshi has made the choice to appeal to the most players. And most players do not play MMOs.

----

As I read more of his posts it looks like Hyrist and I agree on most everything.

This is the way it's going to be for the reasons we've laid out. Not to sound pompous or too objective but the way dungeons are, are the way they will be. Other than theory or what should be, especially for early dungeons, there is no point in discussing their current difficulty.

Now, again, most of us haven't seen the majority of the game. I would assume difficulty would ramp up and be very difficult at endgame. I'd think it look more like a log curve than anything.

Eh, not so much origonal mechanics. See, they began same as anyone else - turn based. ATB did not come out until later and they essentially have stuck with variations of the ATB since. That's not really original after the sixth or seventh time.

Final Fantasy is mostly known for its tropes and ability to tell a good story. 'Origonal Mechanics' has been well muted for many a year now.

If dungeons are not optional, they have to be clearable by the majority of players. This then has to take into consideration those who are new to MMO and group play in general. So you end up with dungeons that are fairly easy for the veteran player.

The problem I see resulting from that design philosophy is that the difficulty curve eventually takes a sharp upturn for the newer players, assuming that eventually dungeons are tuned to challenge vets. My whole point with this is that it makes more sense to challenge new players now to prepare them for harder content as they progress.

Going to pull on experience from XI here, but I remember many groups where players were simply dismissed from the group because they weren't carrying their weight. We're talking about a standard 6 man grind and nothing that took any great amount of coordination or even attention. Back to the previous point, it was much more common for groups to tolerate poor play from people who showed up to the dunes as WAR/WHM(for those of you who never played XI, it's a poor support job choice). People were much more likely to actually try to explain to the person the ins and outs of choosing a sub job, pull timing, being aware of your group and environment, ect.

Basically what I'm saying is that in my opinion, it would make more sense to have the initial dungeons at least be more of a challenge to new players so that they are forced into the good habit of situational awareness when it comes to encounters rather than the bad habit of thinking that anything can be low-manned in subligar.

CoP was nerfed 3 time and had all of 30% of the player base completed it before the cap was removed. You want to say the difficulty wasn't a factor in that, go ahead and speculate - but that's not the type of statistic you want to see on an expansion after several years.

Where did these numbers come from exactly? Just curious...

There is some middle ground that provides a challenge, makes people think, but is by no means frustrating or impossible.

By the way, any instance that you can complete without gear is totally unacceptable in a gear-based MMORPG, no matter how 'skilled' the players are.


ZAM you amaze me sometimes. Sub-D'd for making a completely rational point?

I would also like to know why when people say "This is too easy, give us a challenge" the immediate response is "Not every fight is endgame hardmode content".
