I think that removing seals from lower raids and gold from dungeons when you're not within level range. Gives people NO REASON to actually help them reward wise

Go Hero mode if you want a challenge. Also Dullahan takes longer than s3 raids. For other concerns I can say I agree with the leveling of a new character, you don't really learn anything while leveling up because it's too easy and too quick. But before this change people still didn't know anything about their class, because they just wanted max level as quickly as possible.

Thats the point KenshinX they REMOVED HERO MODE FOR MY FAVORITE BOSSES!!! its not there anymore. You can only play it on these piss poor difficulties. I would LOVE to play Bark Mk1 on hero mode. I would LOVE TO! but cant..

no news about actually making the game challenging again? +sad
I bet this level 95 Dullahan boss will just be a piece of garbage that gets one shotted and completed in less than 5 minutes by people without level 95 gear.
+sigh I don't really have a lot of excitement since i'm pretty sure they won't ever restore the difficulty. Sure! outfits! weapons! Patch Buffs and Nerfs! I have not played the game for years but I experienced sharp dissatisfaction with the RISE update.

The game was literally made to be so easy that I didn't even bother making another character even with all the EXP boosts, because I felt like I wouldn't even get the chance to learn anything with how quickly the bosses died and how they removed all the mechanics.

Sample: One of my favorite bosses, Bark MK1 was a boss that'd make you think if you were soloing. You couldn't effectively brute force the boss because of the heal/sec to its main body. You'd have to go for breakoffs and be precise with your attacks to get all the parts. Before anyone jumps in and says "OH I'D KILL IT WITH MY LEVEL 90 GEAR! IN 2 MINS LOL!" Level 90 gear isn't what you normally would have access to upon facing Bark MK1 for the first time. Its one you reached while leveling and passed it with your character once you figured out the right technique. Just like double spider bosses on the fight with Laghodessa letting you deal with multiple bosses at once. Or maybe the unblockable attack spam with the titan, requiring teamwork to shut him down with the chain balistas on both sides of his boss room. Each dungeon was supposed to teach you to deal with these things and the bosses all the bosses had at least enough HP to let you see all their attacks once before they died.

Praying for a return of difficulty to the game so I can actually learn how to play the game with more characters and learn how to play AS I REACH level 90 (or 95). Not learning the game after reaching level 90...

Side note: Before, the game being set to a very easy difficulty was OPTIONAL. If I had too hard of a time with a boss, or maybe I was stuck on a raid and needed a party but couldn't get one, I could just select Easy difficulty and pass it. come back later to do it on normal or hard. But now? I don't even have the option of selecting something that'll teach me how to block and dodge properly.
