I saw that! I was like, “I don’t remember that being a thing.” Thank you. I wasn’t just having a senior moment there.
Marketing knew that if they left FF14 in that state it would cause them to loose billions. The designers were given permission, but they had to convince the shareholders first.
Finance had to raise the money. Maybe they got it from the owners, maybe from venture capital, maybe someone had a rich grandmama. But the designers have little to do with any of this. They sit in cubicles and write computer programs.
Then I guess Miyamoto wasn’t the one who made Nintendo what it is now. Must of been some rich Grandmama.
do they still have spears? did it as prot pal, didn’t notice any of those old toys/cov mechanics, but one shot each boss. very easily could have had a dps/healer using those toys if i was that blind!

so far its hands down the worst Season 1 of an expansion yet.

does it? New players still have norm and heroics and delves and follower missions and wqs.
I gave an example earlier (maybe in another thread), but they mean that there is nothing you can do to mitigate the damage. I think there is probably some way to cheese(maybe with better Brann Relics), but as a normal fight and playing well/not making mistakes it won’t matter. I always run Brann as healer, it’s not enough. Half the time he’s not even healing, too busy aim shotting.
You are not soloing that boss and killing him after only 2 casts. He casts it literally 10-15 second intervals. My War I can live through 3-4 of them before I run out of my defensives. Boss still at 30% hp. Now what?
My VDH, I have 2 CDs. Meta and FB. Can use Fel Dev to turn meta for very short time, those don’t even reduce damage since it’s magic. All they do is make it so I can heal through it, and even then it isn’t guaranteed since he will Poison nova directly into Burn Away so he is standing in the poison unreachable while he’s casting.

Miyamoto Musashi?
Correct. His swordsmanship helped build Nintendo into a multi billion dollar company.

Did delves 3 man. ( Mistweaver, B Druid, Dev Evoker )
No issues at all. I think the whole process of unlocking 8’s and doing the 4 bountiful delves took about an hour. Few deaths from some one shot mechanics that could have been avoided but no issues.
Pugged all the M0’s and I though they were fair. The last boss on Ara’Kara gave us the most problems. Outside of that one boss I was able to puh and clear all my m0’s without any major wipes/issues. Some pulls near the end of Grim Batol were a bit tough but we managed to get through it quickly.

I did Delves up to 10. we (Me and a guild DK Tank) tried an 11 but thats where the gear check happens and at 592 there was no chance, it’s like going into Mythic Raid with Normal Raid gear and no set bonus.
Then we tried Zekvir and that was a breeze.
I got champ track chest, belt, and 2 rings.
I also did several M0’s, and its the same thing as always lol…
People that blow all CD’s in a pack of 2 then wet noodle the next pack of 6, don’t interrupt at all, stand in the bad, getting stunned and knocked back, don’t read the adventure guide to see the abilities and just think they can brute force DPS got deaded over and over lol…
IMO, the tuning is pretty good overall, the issue is people not knowing the mechanics “well” yet.

I uhh… I did the entirety of Waterworks just fine on Tier 8 though?
And Grim Batol was moderately annoying at worst. I don’t expect this to be a good M+ dungeon whatsoever but even the 3rd boss (which I was terrified of) was just mildly annoying. Like, it genuinely did not feel like an old +10 whatsoever.
I genuinely don’t know how you could have 15 CEs and say that Grim Batol was obscenely overtuned.
Are… are we doing the same dungeons? The only time we ever died in that place was when our tank decided to try pulling two Staghorns, which you’re explicitly NOT supposed to do anymore.

These are dark times we’re living in, very dark.
Did Dawnbreaker and Grim today as a tank. Grim felt spicy but Dawnbreaker mainly went ok, I was kinda clumsy doing trash prior to 2nd boss but overall went well.

hahaha i bet you paid the extra fee to play a few days earlier too LMAO
Haven’t try delves yet but did the LFR and the season 1 heroic. They seem ok I think is best people learn the mechanics and when to use their own defense abilities and what mob to stun and CC. Definitely help me as some of the re use dungeons mobs and boss have new abilities. Also trying to get some better gear first and upgrade them. Currently my pally is at 584 want to her a few ilvl before I try m0.
I am one of those healers. This is not a fun experience. Gonna seriously reduce my play time until they fix this. Have tried healing m0 as mistweaver, holy priest and resto shaman and they all feel like absolute garbage. 580+ btw.

I always think its funny when people act like anyone on this site is a casual.
Or do people really think a huge portion of the fanbase is on the forums?
If the forums are split on if the stuff is too overtuned or not id imagine the general opinion is too hard because not everyone is going to use 3rd party sources just to have fun in a game.
