Seasonal is either...

Very much true: a Seasonal should be a challenge but still doable (if it's not a challenge, then why even have it and instead just have an NPC handing out the rewards)

might i add the mutineer borders need changed too. wth do you need to get the most hits to get credit? oh and the spawn rate on half the ships is ridiculously terrible. on the villain side it's not as bad since there are far less people but contending with 20 people to try and get 15 borders is insane.

let me put it this way i beat challenge of the gods in god of war 1 and epic o before it was a cakewalk and without the door glitch. the point is it is too difficult when 1 idiot can ruin a group. i can't stand masochist who want it to be as hard as a raid. you have sm you wanna torture yourself with difficulty use that. but a seasonal event should be fun not killing you in 3 seconds as a dev already stated was unintended.a seasonal event should only be as difficult as it is fun. and yes i'm speaking on both sides challenge is ok but a challenge is beating smallvile with a smart group not fighting the yellow devil capiche?

oh btw go play onigiri and trust me once you get a ways in you'll realise just what i mean by challenge only goes so far untill it is simply bs. like for example remember old paradox wave? you know the 1 nearly nobody could beat? yah if you dare tell me that THAT was perfect then you need to just check in to a mental ward cause that would make you a masochist.

You're comparing Paradox Wave, at launch, to the summer event?

Why is it if you like a challenge, you're a masochist?

If you're worried about an idiot ruining a group, then don't run with idiots.

Groan that's just it I can stand for example good difficulty like GTA V but it's when something isn't fun it isn't just a challenge. Hell take wild guess why every good power really got nerfed every time. Oh it's too easy because the power is too good. Oh and you same people are the same ones who kick people based on cr or even worse sp. Well here's a question for ya if it's not hard enough for yah why do you kick them then. The 1reason I don't buy dlcs anymore is this community that is completely backwards. You always complain about how oooh it's too easy I mean ffs they made elite alerts raids and survival mode for you psychopaths. Not every dam thing has to be a pain in the as to beat. It's an EVENT do you go into a mini game and expect it to be as difficult as the final boss NO. Why can't a person relax and enjoy the stupid game for once? But nooo you selfish masochistic sadists want every aspect of every game to be dark souls. I said it before I dare you to play onigiri. Get to Edo and then effing tell me it needs to be even harder. I bet you maniacs would be in your own personal brimstone laced heaven. Seriously a challenge can be fun but a challenge is not the same as the trials of Hercules. Just let people have fun ffs. Imagine if the games tutorial boss killed you in 2 hits and took you 500 hits to kill it. Guess what the game would be dead instantly as nobody with braincells would say yah this is fun who needs the rest of the dam game I'd much rather fight this for eternity!

And for proof again I beat challenge of the effing gods for god of war effing 1if it were actually legitimately hard I'd be fine but you morons who have no lives want every dam aspect of a game to feel like a kidney stone. Ffs IT'S.........AN.......EVENT.........NOT.....A......DAM.......RAID! it isn't actual difficulty balance is key to good difficulty dying to 5 hits or less is not a challenge and is not FUN. but you people can't be effing helped you'd be happy if it 1shot you in the vault. You scum are THE problem with this game. Cause you forget that a video game is supposed to be FUN not tedious. I even beat 1of the secret bosses in khbbs and both in kh1 and the tournament bosses and sephiroth in kh2 as well I can handle actual challenge but you psychotic morons have no clue how to tell the difference. You probably felt getting up for school everyday was more fun then sitting down with your family and playing sorry or monopoly. Get a life and let us normal people have fun you have elite content and survival mode not every single effing thing needs to be akin to Nexus or wave or bn etc. So shut the hell up and run an elite raid if you need to be castrated. But let us non sadists have a single fun thing in seasonal events.

Well said MYTHLORD, very well said /standing_ovation

oh and btw played it after the hotfix 12 times with not even 1 wipe and guess what i actually had fun. foreign concept i know.

yeah people already started to stand outside door too,run it with six chars and with four of them someone accidentally went afk and casually ended on my ignore list

Sadly they didn't increase the mark yield so I guess once done with duplicate base items purchases Im not going to waste time on it anymore

Well to fix that they could just do the PvP thing and make the player have to help to get reward.

I agree with Mythlord not every little thing needs to be a beat your head against the wall challenge for EVERYONE. I emphasize everyone because what a lot of these "Its too easy", "Your an idiot, bad player", "You're having bad wrong fun" people seem to forget is that not everyone playing the game IS the same. Some are older people who don't have the twitch reflexes of a young person, some have phsyical health restrictions (poor eyesight, painful joins, etc), some are simply looking for a stress free way to uwnind and some are looking for dark souls in every single aspect of their games. I personally work a 14 hour day in an environment where a mistake can kill you (happened to someone just last week) and I play games for a way to relax.

I'm not looking for dark souls, I'm not looking for push you to the limits everything must go right for group to succeed and you know what? I never bother with SM or usually the elite versions of content I simply don't have an interest in the stress from them particularly when they aren't hard because of interesting mechanics but rather are hard because every run is a RNG shot as to whether the OHKO will hit you today. I often play healers, I'm not young and splitting my focus between where I'm standing, what's happening to the other 7 people in the group and what the boss we're fighitng is doing is enough for me. I simply am not good enough to also watch a 2nd/3rd boss who may well be behind me on the other side of the room and a dozen different adds all who have their own one shots waiting to trigger.

However that isn't even relevant here because this is not a raid, its not survival mode, its not an elite version of content what it is is a short term seasonal event that's supposed to be a fun diversion from normal content where people can get some fun little items. It should not be set to be difficult for the top end players, it should be set for the brand new rarely played any MMO before much less this one minimum CR ones. If you find that too easy then suck it up because these are meant to be a fun break for the weakest link not a beat your head against the wall challenge for the best.

I've been to many fairs, festivals and other amusements in real life. The rides, games and challenges are simple and fun to encourage everyone to have a good time. You get on the ice slide and slide down, you chuck a ball at a stack of tin cans, you look at the attractions. You don't crawl under barb wire netting, climb a 10 foot wall, run through tires and swing across a series of monkey bars just to get to an attraction where you have to box the world heavy weight champion going all out.

I'm trying to remember, were the cogs nerfed this year or last year?

They used to have a discernible duration to activate so you could be interrupted while now they are instant activate and way easier. The only reason to shield people is to make sure they get to the cogs now, rather than protect them while they triggered them.

That was part of the hotfix this morning. They are now instant activate.
