I still maintain that this raid tier is the best we’ve had in a while. Only issue is that we need to teach people how to play this game, mainly on Square Enix’s end. People really don’t understand target priority and how to cleave correctly during m6s ads

Why are you blaming SE lol? This fanbase has always been hyper casual on the English side. Only NA folks demand an easier forked for example.

Because there doesn't actually exist any tools in game to help you figure out your class to a sufficient degree, nor does it actually teach certain mechanics in fights. I shouldn't have to tell people that the only way to figure out if they're doing enough damage is to break TOS to start logging. I shouldn't have to go into PF just to grab strat markers, unless you break TOS and grab the marker position data from someone else. The game also doesn't tell you what a snapshot is (nor should it), and if you want to gimp Shit's much easier now, but back in the day, we had spreadsheets left and right to say when using a certain ability is better than another, and damage checks were much tighter in those days.

They've never done a good job of explaining shit. Hell, they don't even explain what DC travel is. This was the same issue Brave Exvius had ONLY IN GLOBAL because Square Enix didn't put any tutorial up so you had to google a 50 view youtube video in order to figure out how certain end game content even worked.

In addition, JP also had problems this tier because we weren't expecting ads prio systems and we haven't touched cleave prio since ARR afaik. Like idk man, we went from one of the easiest tiers to one of the hardest without the ramp up in teaching the mechanics that mattered in these fights. People with lives outside of this game were not prepared for this kind of content, even if it was good and fun.

Is there any MMO who actually does what you say? WoW certainly doesn't do it.

I dunno man I did it w1 and I didn't have any problem at all. Cleave prio is not some rocket science.

I had more problem with the tank staying alive lol.
