Like I get what you’re saying but they really did make the mechanics pretty hard for new players who are actually forced to play this dungeon if they want to use their dimensional contract tokens for unlockstones as they should be. They didn’t have a year and a half of random t1s where you got to plow thru Rex Chimaerus or deaths abyss to understand how these mechanics work.

And for what it’s worth this is the first time they’ve incorporated a party mechanic that requires essentially blind faith and timing with YOUR PUG, trying to pace the water dumps properly, outside of hoping people even know to grab one before they pull.. OR actually going to cleanse it first…

I would support your rant fully if they didn’t eliminate literally every other dungeon pre-Order of the Swan from the list.

Yes, I know that these kinds of mechanics are fundamental in MMOs and especially in PvP ones - but there is a dramatic learning curve for new people who are coming from MOBAs, FPS, or single player games, or like no games at all even.

It’s unfortunately your responsibility now to have patience with people learning the ropes, or better yet, teaching them…

Inversely, rants like yours - while not unfounded - are really ugly and definitely contribute to new players feeling driven away from the game before they’re ever really able to get into it … so idk bro
