again its all a matter of preference. there are people who do not care not a single bit about legion raids.
some people play games for reasons beyond “end game” content. i just so happen to be a fan of the whole package, i like story content and collectiable stuff (to a degree) and ofc raid content.
but i also have friends that just outright ignore it all together and sit at Lv 30 and pvp all day, i have friends that speed run to the next raid and i have friends that spent weeks farming mokoko and doing the adventure tome.
so yeah some ppl REALLY REALLY hate the story and would rather instantly skip to 1490, while others want to experience the entire thing from start to finish.
Imagine absolute new players punika passing to 1302, express passing to 1370 and then queueing yohos with you. Shag floor povs
Kekw ppl still doing yohos in this day and age
And 99% of the T1/T2 guardians are horribly designed and balanced making a party necessary to reduce stress/anger, you can smash your head into a wall but that doesn’t make doing so a good thing. Moreover a bard/paladin cannot solo them and its the biggest reason why my bard isnt T3 yet, because there is no one there anymore, and it will be harder to get more supports if this keeps up.
no all the t1/t2 guardians are braindead easy to do. even the most annoy one can be solo’d
doing it in a group only makes it MORE difficult. because now the boss has more hp, a higher threshold for destruction or stagger and you have to rely on 3 other people.
No they aren’t, learning to enjoy dogshit design doesn’t make them good or braindead either. T1/T2 guardians deal random damage just because they can, some of them are hard to read or too quick, give stupidly strong debuffs with nearly every attack, have stupidly annoying mechanics that are more tedious than fun, or are damage sponges just for the sake of being one. There is a reason why the newer guardians are nothing like the older gen, that’s because they are designed to be fun.
I think roxx mentioned and apologized on another post for this, but this event doesn’t seem to be aimed at new players unlike the previous one.
In any case, it takes about a month to reach T3 (1302) without honning buffs and 1 or 2 alts farming mats, the events also help, by that time you will still have the powerpass and event so you can use the pass on an alt and have 2 T3 characters, and boost one of them with the express + the alt.
It takes time, and it sucks I know, but that’s the best tip I can give you.
All my alts are still doing Igrexion kekw. But with the purify rune is basically powerless.
Ah, yes. Play our Massively Multiplayer Online game and solo all the group content at max level for a few weeks until you can play with other people. This is definitely a winning formula that will achieve maximum retention of new players.

technically guardians are not “group content” they are labeled as 1-4. they are pieces of content designed to be soloable.
if we were talking about abyss dungeons or legion raids we would have a different series of complaints (and more valid ones too). but you are not expected to solo those
A lot of people in this thread have no clue what he’s talking about.
Right now before you get the stronghold honing buff, honing is terrible without the express event.
For instance I used the Feiton pass on a Berserker as soon as I got it, before I had completed Punika on my main and got 1302 item level to get the stronghold honing buff. Meaning honing was very hard on that Berserker before I got the buff. New players will not be able to use the stronghold buff or the 1370 express event meaning they will have to deal with terrible honing rates due to a lack of global honing buff. I believe this is what OP is talking about.

GRs have always been designed with groups in mind. They were the original end game content in the game after all. If you need evidence of that I can give you a few examples to demonstrate:
Vertus grab, Tytalos bomb circle, Achates statues, Alberhastic grab, Velganos bite, Deskaluda X’s, etc., etc.
Regardless, you’re ignoring the fact that this process of weeks soloing before you can actually play with people will just drive new players away. Honestly, can you name another MMO like that?
T1 and T2 content is irrelevant to establish players. To new players, it teaches them the game. I do not want to be in a valtan group with some that doesn’t know what the hell is destruction / weak point skill, what the heck is stagger, and don’t know how to counter. Let them figure those out in T1 and T2.
Teaching em how to play their char, so useless, do u even read what ur talking about? ^^
Doubt.
Completely false
Going into a party decreases the dmg every party member needs to deal and makes it easier to kill without worrying about aggro
It’s obvious that it’s built for party play
The event is specifically not for new players.
Ur completely false so false kr gave passes out like candy and even before high af ilvl south vern even got feiton jump pass ( no need any char with previous quest, and express event to 1340)
With 7 events on top of that ik people like u like being treated as peasants while kr were kings even before it got alot better and now their not kings of a country their idk bro something higher than a king xd
T1-2 is useless content even agreed on by the devs most retention is in legions starting from valtan
no?
the bosses Hp scales based on the amount of players in the group. sure it might not be x4 in a group of four but its certainly noticeabley more. as aresult its alot harder to do that content when the other 3 people are bad then it is to do when you are solo.
because the stagger bar, weak point “bar”, and health bar scale to the number of players in the group.
It’s capped at 2.5x HP bro
Solo: 1X
4 Person PT: 2.5X
2.5/4 = 0.625X per person
Usually everyone pulls more or less their weight
