Man, I
ing love this game. Will be max level by the weekend, and I'm trying to recruit my WoW buddies to come and play. I think I'm gonna try and make our own FC cause I don't want to deal with people
IMO the difference between 8-mans and 10-mans is huge. In WoW it was mostly the 2-3 shitty recruits/pugs I had in the guild at any given time that crippled our competitive raiding. 8 classes, 8-mans just makes sense and on paper seems like it would be much easier to balance.
I took a look at the endgame fights and they look pretty fun, and I love the FF world/lore way more than Warcraft's.
My only gripe is that I wish I knew more people who played, but man am I giddy to start doing stuff that matters. We ran the level 32 (35?) dungeon as well as the Titan trial using the dungeon finder and idk if it was my being undergeared (I'm level 41 and ilvl 24 cause I take gold quest rewards every single time lol), but the healer had a really hard time keeping everybody up. Dude was in lvl 50 gear but scaled down and he still went OOM and had to raise me twice on fights.
At this point, IDK enough to say whether those players are baddies or not. Everyone seems to be courteous but during Titan we wiped cause the healer ate an ability and died. The DRG in the group asked: "So what's the plan?" I replied "Don't die
" and he took it personally, saying "well maybe we shouldn't attack for a few seconds at the start so you can hold threat"... I guess he's slow in the head if he doesn't realize that all 3 other people died and that he had aggro on the boss b/c he was the last one alive.
If high-end content is full of these derpers I'm going to be very sad. I will need to recruit a few good players for my FC so... here's praying.
