The construct fight took close to 30 minutes.

We wiped like 3 times on Yiaz because the DPS couldn't kill the adds fast enough, then we vote abandoned after my group thoroughly pissed off the other groups by spamming macros and passages from Atlas Shrugged.

That was the worst dps I've seen in any group in this game.

We'd get 5 minutes into Yiaz and he'd be at 93%

I remember really liking this idea but upon re-reading it I've noticed they want you to collect 99 fibers before you're allowed to buy the Nier items and you get 3 fibers from Golding a FATE. That's a lot of grinding, even with the 5 fibers you'd get each day from EXDR (without doing any FATES it would take 20 days worth of EXDR to get enough fibers). So while I really like the look of the fictional event I'm really glad they aren't on the ff14 design team :v:

I finally understand everything there is to know about axes!
I'd been doing mostly Savage raiding before the patch so I didn't even realise Yiazmat's HP was inflated at first. His health decreased like we were in Kefka so I just shrugged and carried on.

I'm not sure I've even been in a lighthouse run where we didn't crash and burn on the Yiazmat add phase at least once due to low dps.

Someone mentioned in discord that every single person who wasn't in our alliance (and maybe the pub rdm who was?) was doing sub-2k which is so nightmarishly bad I have to assume it was a troll group out for blood. Also B and C tanks having a Provoke fight on the bosses but then constantly dying or losing aggro to our NIN.

I also recall someone in alliance c had the audacity to call us retards and blamed it all on us.

Nah, they probably had fine DPS for pugs when they were alive but spent >50% of their time dead. That's the usual failure mode.

no, their dps was abysmal. their play had no redeeming qualities.

e: not to mention 2 alliances kept fighting for aggro for every boss from opposite sides so it kept spinning.

You'd think that, but they were fine for the most part at mechanics. Just not hitting buttons or something.

I ran Ridorana as DRG this week now that Need is back, despite having no idea how to play DRG at 70, but ended up greeding on the MNK top anyway.

I ran Ridorana this week in an alliance that only got DRG and NIN loot. Every single person passed on all the gear and it was all lost.

I heard that event was designed by people from Level-5 and not the ff14 design team, however it's not like the ff14 team hasn't made dumb decisions about how fates should be used.

Between the Yokai event and the MHW event, we now know that special events come to FFXIV because "YoshiP is friends with and went out drinking with <insert developer name here>." What this tells me is... someone needs to get YoshiP to be friends with Yoko Taro.

That’s probably be easy to set up, the way I hear it Taro keeps getting games despite his track record of releasing flops-turned-cult-classics because he’s drinking buddies with some higher ups in Square.

Also he’d probably try and turn it into a Drakengard crossover where you need to get 99 ears from a FATE where you kill child conscripts or something awful like that.

Had a lighthouse run which had probably the first instance I've seen of like, continued cyberbullying. My alliance (C) wasn't doing so hot (I think I was the only person who didn't die at least 3 times on the first boss) so people from alliance A and B started making fun of us, which whatever, kind of deserved. But then on the second boss, this guy from alliance A kept running chains through people and blaming it on "those idiots from alliance C" and then kept saying we we're the last group to do adds on Construct cuz we're so stupid (we were somehow first cuz we got the missile one) It was the most bizarre thing I've ever seen. Dude was dedicated.


Story has a good ending though because he rolled a 1 on the minion. :v:

I recorded it all past belias, they were abysmal. The two other tanks kept squabbling over MT and causing unnecessary boss spins, and someone who was running ACT told me that I was fourth or fifth highest DPS. I have been playing for 5 months and have only had my full rotation for three weeks and have had little time to really practice and optimise it, I was doing 2k DPS. They were below that level of play. They were insanely bad. With this position on the aggro list, I was still frequently taking aggro from the MT squabbling session in every fight except for Yiazmat, whether they were dead or alive. Alliance C never passed maths, and Alliance B passed half of it. The part where you drop golems? My recording shows that once alliance literally never killed a golem while they had their vuln, and the other alliance only barely killed one in that time. They were terrible at putting out DPS, and were worse at focusing targets and doing the mechanics than me, the man with Welsh internet.

Dying was not their issue - although they did die a lot. It was a lot of basic misunderstandings of the game. There were 3 other ninjas across the alliances, I was the only one putting up TA. I do not think the two squabbling MTs ever used mitigations because they were constantly down, or their healers were just so poor they couldn't sustain them. Or both.

Lol, a healer got mad at a NIN on my behalf for pulling ahead of me when I was tanking Bardam's today, that's never happened before. At this point I generally just shrug and go "whatever" when someone pulls early.
