I mean, this is why Vermain said "outside of top-end content". God Kekfa is definitely trying to kill you at every turn and is harder than the FF6 fight of the same boss :v:

2) The people who genuinely don't like being in a damage-dealing role, in any form. These are the people who play full-support builds on other games, where they can't fight anything remotely their level solo but are invaluable buff and health batteries for a team. I played Ragnarok Online religiously as a child and loved my support Priest, so I kinda understand these people, but XIV is absolutely not designed the same way.

This is me, for one. I got over it soon enough, but I'm one of those maniacs who always gravitates to playing a healer first in whatever MMO I touch.

Once in leveling roullete my gf had to go so she set her character to auto follow and her fairy to sic so we could keep going without needing to requeue. We would have completed the dungeon just fine that way if she didn’t get autokicked at the last boss. :v:

I share your pain. Trial roulette was a disaster for me yesterday. The first one I got slotted into was Susano (Normal). We did one pull, it lasted 14:43, got him to 18% hp and there were over two dozen combined deaths including a SMN with 6. I was MT DRK and there was one other competent player in the entire bunch, a Scholar, and we carried a bunch of corpses until we got a stack marker without enough warm bodies.

They "passed" the second sword in the middle phase by using LB with 1.2 seconds to spare.

In normal mode.

After they vote abandoned, I got dropped into a Shiva that took 3 attempts.

poo poo, are you me? I was in a Susano normal yesterday in which the concept of stacking just did not fuckin' exist. I should have stopped Verraising people after the tenth death.

It was his "weights" that killed the most people, for some loving reason.

Second place was probably "people attacking the wrong rock" which also hosed me out of Soul Survivor.

Never again.

Sole Survivor got a buff and now pops and restores you for 20% of your HP and MP if it times out before the marked thing dies... do you just get *nothing* if the rocks die through non-player intervention?

Oh word? I didn't know that it got changed, this was my first time touching DRK in several months. I didn't see anything coming through on scrolling combat text and just assumed it was loving me over as intended. E: not that it makes a huge difference regardless, I was merely taking it as extra salt in the wound. I was slapping it on the right one ASAP to get the heal and figured it was timing out before the rock disappeared because they killed the wrong one. I might have just missed it.

I'll check again on my next visit to purgatory.

I had a scholar in leveling roulette accept their queue and then just disappear way, way long ago. I pulled the first area of brayflox to the fairy and we cleared it out while waiting on the 5 minute timer before we could vote kick.

Given that the Bahamut Raid ended with Bahamut and the Alexander Raid ended with Alexander, I think it'd be weird for the Omega Raid to end with Sephiroth.

I dunno what O9 and 10 will be, but I suspect O11S will be Omega attempting to harness the power of heroes and you fight against Cloud or w/e, and then O12S will of course be Omega Prime because what else will it be?

I feel like I remember it being said during Deltascape that the reason he didn't make heroes is because he doesn't understand their power source. It's part of why he's continually baiting a reaction from the WoL in Sigmascape by bringing up Biggs and Wedge or attacking Nero.

Didn't they say at some point in the lead up to SB release that we might go for a few more patch cycles than 'normal'?

I wouldn't be surprised if we get another FF tier and then a final tier that's like Level Checker, Something else, Omega Weapon, then Omega Prime which is omega taking over it's real body Alpha and learning to have real emotions and thus becoming a real boy.

Save 7 for Garlemeald where they're all hopped up on Resonance and building their own artificial Hearts of Sabik and Weapons. Can't have primals in Garlean Town but we can have a bunch of Weapon Extreme Fights.

Sapphire, Ruby, Emerald, Diamond, hell bring in Jade Weapon as a new dreadnought type turned WEAPON.

Yeah I'm just theorizing that Omega will start figuring it out in the next tier. I could just be wrong though.

If you look really really hard you might find a discount on a 30 day sub card, but more likely you're going to pay the $12.

It amazes me that despite making adjustments, Heavensward still rewards ZERO wrist accessories during the entire 50-60 leveling experience. Stormblood at least does give you a full set of gear... though you do have to dig through the sidequests a bit to find the accessory ones.

But yeah, Omegascapes bosses are actually a big question to me, the pattern so far would suggest FF7 bosses ending with Sephiroth, but then Omega not being fought at all seems like such a copout. Well guess in another month or so we'll get our first hints of 4.4 and see what they're up to.

I really hope they save the weapons for some other content (Emerald, Ruby, etc.).

Final coil basically felt like it had two "final" bosses, and honestly I'd say A11 also filled the also being a final boss theme. By that I mean they were just generally more involved fights than "regular" 8-man raid fights. So if that trend continues they could do FF7, just have Sephiroth for O11, and Omega itself for O12 still.
