I was thinking bosses are a bit hard and I think it may be a bit too difficult for the average player. I was suggesting a reduction in boss health. CRA is a bit too difficult for the average player who reaches level 150 it's hard to contribute to boss parties even with a decent legion block. I usually don't play with parties or guilds but even when I do we usually still require a carry. I think we should be able to progress without needing support of a player who has already completed the content and / or without being super pro at the game. I feel like naming the bosses would be pointless since they're pretty much all made for the super funded players who do not make up the majority of the people playing the game. Lucid needs to be normal , hard , and extreme since normal is hard and it doesnt drop anything . as a 260 6th job Cadena , Life kinda sucks..

CRA's difficulty is fine and doesn't need a reduction in difficulty or HP. This isn't meant for people to just immediately tackle once they are at the required level and requires effort in building your character. If you cannot put in the effort of building your character to get through the early weekly bosses, you should not be rewarded. The game is not lowering the HP as this is already the basic easy weekly bosses. If you are going to complain that the easiest weekly bosses are too hardcore, this isn't the game for you.
Lucid already drops droplets needed to make Phantasma Coins to buy Arcane gear. It isn't useless. Prior to 2018, Hard Lucid was next to unbeatable and the gear was obtained via multiple Normal Lucid kills along with trading in hundreds of Arcane River Droplets. You will just progress slower but still eventually get an Arcane.
You can, everyone has to start somewhere and people don't just instantly be "super pro at the game" or complete content without struggling.
You don't have to do the bosses. If you only care about the story you actually progress much faster by just ignoring the bosses entirely.
If you only care about grind, you don't need boss gear to be able to grind. Bosses are optional content for players that enjoy playing with other people and having a common goal.
If you want a non-boss version of that you can either play the mini-games during events (hit or miss) or advocate for more party play content that isn't bossing.
Party Quests have been dead for an extremely long time so good luck getting Nexon to actually give us something decent there.
Unfortunately the best we have at the moment is Monster Park Extreme and a handful of arcane river weeklies that can be done in a party.
We really need nexon to address this and give us more content that is fun to do with friends that isn't just bossing.
Bossing however, has a very low skill floor and a very high skill ceiling, it is easily accessible to anyone playing this game.
No real changes are needed to bossing and powercreep will continue to push the harder bosses to be easier and easier.
You can go from a completely fresh account to clearing CRA within a week.
I encourage people to attempt duos or trios with me all the time when they doubt they can clear the boss, me knowing they can do it based on their Combat Power/Gear, will push for them to make the effort. (I am being carried I am not carrying them)
Giving them advice on how the handle certain stuff I see people go from thinking it's going to be a struggle to them easily clearing the boss just by getting outside their comfort zone a little.
I use to do it regularly but as I said before even with CRA Gear it is still pretty difficult so im just imagining for someone without CRA gear its much harder and probably more frustrating . Going from a new account to clearing CRA within a week sounds like a bit of a stretch to me. I dont know what classes you guys are playing or how much legion your " new " accounts start out with. I started with my kanna with no legion and struggled to even find people to run bosses with . I dont have all day to wait for a party and hope we can clear it without someone who is super far ahead to do most of the damage.
CRA is an early weekly boss yeah but the equips you get from everything before that are pretty much useless. I think having a level requirement means you are at the level to tackle this content. it shouldnt be easy at 150 but we should be able to contribute a reasonable amount of damage and like I said , without near max legion you dont do enough damage .
Completely fresh. No legion, doesn't matter what class. You can start a brand new account and start working on CRA within a week with burning.
There will be a little bit of luck involved and you might not be able to handle Vellum, but you can 3 door in one week off a fresh account for sure.
You are playing the game completely wrong if you can't clear normal RA, you can make a fresh account and clear that within 30 minutes.
2.CRA you can get carried as soon as you got 100k CP....for Von Bon & Clown 50k CP.......Queen is 100K....by the time its vellum turn your cp should have gone up to 200-250k......if your bellow 100k get a full carry for all Boss in the following order
N-Zakum > N-Magnus > N-Bean > C-Horntail > N-Arkarium > Hard Magnus > 3 doors CRA > P-No > C-Bean > C-Vellum
crouch poke with normal attack for Zakum otherwise you will kill him in 1 hit(you dont get the dro prate from your carrier if you 1 shot him)
3.if you want carry that badly i can do them for you so long as you meet the following conditions(put efforts to not waste my and your time)
so here are the conditions
Conditon 1: 6k legion(extremely easy to reach by building 42 chars to lvl 140(well 2 of them has to be lvl 200 though)
you can get 3 chars to 140 per day if you progress efficiently(2 weeks long), read a lvling guide and buy a teleport rock to quickly move around
Condition 2: be lvl 200 with your Vanish Journey Symbol to lvl 4(its 1 single day doing the pq and weekly !!!, dont be lazy)
Condition 3: lvl 100 Emblem up to Unique potential with 30% Ignore Defense line(spend a few cubes, dont be stingy)
if your not willing to do at least that much i ain't be carrying you, Condition 3 is optionnal IF your legion power is at 8500+ as legion blocks themselve will almost double up your dps
Condition 4: proper Hyper stats...here your perfect set up at lvl 200 as a low legion player
lvl 2 Main Stat
lvl 8 Critical Rate(your total critical rate has to be 78-80% without Sayram Elixir), if your exceeding 80%, redirect points to lvl 8 Damage and lvl 6 Crit dmg
lvl 4 Critical Damage
lvl 8 ignore Defense
lvl 7 Damage
lvl 8 Boss dmg
lvl 2 Attack Power
Condition 5: work on your Legion Artifacts !
Dmg , Ignore Def and Crit Rate are the top 3 priority(up to rank 4 Crystal statues) give those 3 stats choice to Mushroom and Slime Statue
Boss dmg, Crit dmg and Attack power are the next best choices for Horny Mushroom and Stump Crystal Statue)
do not level Horny Mushroom and the Stump statues untill the first 2 reach rank 4
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
4. unfortunetly CRA bosses & Lucid are among the easy bosses mechanics wise, if you think those are hard, wait for the ones beyond her, since you got a 260, go play some Darknell in practice mode, get a glimpse of whats RLY coming up in term of difficulty, you can even practice Black Mage and Verus Hilla too
Note: V-Hilla has 4 health bars to deplete !! so if you feel accomplished by managing 1, you got 3 more to go, and she gets harder everytime a health bar is gone
so no, bosses dont need to be nerfed(at least not the low end ones)....so just pratice, although i want to note that Crimson Queen breath attack was design to be tanked by a 6 man group when she wasn't an outdated boss(breath dmg is split between all pt members)....so 50k divide by 6 is 8.3k
she hasn't been updated since...but since ppl are carrying each other for it at this point, its completly irrelevant...so wtv
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
lastly, not a single player would run bosses which give you nothing at all....so Omni-CLN, Normal Root Abyss, Normal Hilla would never be run in group ever
Normal Root Abyss have technicly 1 good thing(profession lvl skip ticket) but only 1 player can buy it when the npc spawn, so ppl would rather solo norm cra for 100% chance to get it if they're after that item....would be stupid to 6 man it and fight for it when you can just solo and have it all for yourself
It will be very hard to find any parties for anything below Damien/Lotus, everything before that point is easily solo able even by new accounts and there isn't much reason to struggle those bosses at all. Even Normal Lomien is rare to find a party for since most people just skip straight to hard with a carry.
