Hello, I am a Bard main and going through the story and every fight was challenging. Even the abyss and chaos dungeons were challenging. Do I want the content nerfed? No. The fun in the game was learning my class for specific situations, such as Bard has to kite allot… and her times for clearing are really trash if you’re built as support and even when you’re not built as support they’re VERY slow. Her skills are slow without the right Runes (which take time to grind for) and she’s squishy. I get hit by 3 mobs and Im half health.
This game has been out for 3 weeks and you guys are nerfing the content. Yes the values of success on abyss dungeons and guardian raids are low due to players learning the mechanics. Once people actually learn how to stagger or what items to bring those rates will go up. I spent an hour learning how to do the meteor at Hildebrandt Place with this one gunslinger who kindly explained all the mechanics and worked with us in order to clear. This fight was amazing, agonizing, but worth the time and effort into learning the mechanics. Now I help people learn how to do it and yes it does take time, cause some people need to be reminded multiple times and sometimes people get frozen before the meteor. But it’s all allot of fun watching everyone get better and progress in the game. It’s rewarding knowing you learned the mechanics and are able to help other people learn them too. This nerf will take away that.
All the content from T1->T3 is easy. The people wanting to nerf it are people not willing to put the effort and energy into learning how the mechanics work. They are people still learning how to stagger but didn’t bring ww grenades’ with low stagger classes or don’t know how to turn their body towards the person with the meteor aimed at their teammate. The content is NOT hard or impossible. It is not fenced by a paywall, the mechanics are simple and learning them is fun.
Nerfing the content will lower the overall enjoyability of the game. I do not want to play a game which spoon feeds its players every step of the way. The fact that you have considered nerfing from people’s complaints while there are so many people who have made it past its content and have learned the mechanics is sad. You are going to cater to the lowest denominator who throws a fit if they don’t clear within the first try. Instead of rewarding the people who took the time to learn all the bosses.
Please reconsider this nerf, it will make the content much less enjoyable for everyone who has spent hours learning the mechanics and having fun FAILING in order to understand how the boss works.
My guild and friends are highly upset at this decision. Instead you should direct people who need help clearing these bosses to YouTube videos or twitch streamers who know the mechanics and can clear these bosses.
