The vast majority of FFXI players were horrible and didn't gearswap. All HNM fights were extremely trivial as long as you didn't have 18309213 melee giving the monster infinite TP. Tank/spank the...

They should just do what I believe WoW does, and have a standard version of raids (which isn't easy as such but is achievable with effort by the general population. Would drop gear which is inferior...

So why do people fail it so much? And don't say lag. Most people failing are doing so because they react badly, not because of lag.

Do you have the same problem with people who refer to written guides on how to play their jobs etc?

I fail to see why preparing for a fight is seen as a bad thing.

I have only ever watched a video once (and that was for working out a Twintania divebomb strategy, since you can't work those out on the fly) and have no problem executing all mechanics in the game....

What skill is involved in making every boss a training dummy? FFXI was ridiculously, absurdly easy due to this.



Depends how pedantic you're being. Dealing with conflagrations you could argue...

Completely untrue. All fights are exercises in maintaining your output while dealing with various mechanics, from rudimentary dodging to something more complicated á la T8 towers.

If there was no skill component to this game, there would be little variation in DPS/HPS/tanking ability. On the PvP front, the better geared team would always win, guaranteed. Nobody would have...

SE don't care about your virtual items :x they care about money!

It would depend on how you define mastering the mechanics. By mastering the mechanics of a specific fight, by definition you are amazing at that fight, so it should no longer be that difficult. I...

I swear to god you guys, if the next Coil is just four fights against training dummies... it's like few people here have actually played difficult games and instead just braindead stuff like FFXI.

The more mechanical fights (such as T6/T7) are scripted, but the victims of abilities frequently changes, requiring different responses - adaptation. T7 has the nice "ramping difficulty" aspect with...

Enrage timers exist for two purposes;

1. It prevents healer stacking. You could otherwise bring 3-4 healers to every fight and have a much easier time unless there are harsh dps checks throughout....

But your playing skill is how you adapt and handle the mechanics. To remove them means you're effectively hitting a training dummy, which has almost zero skill investment or fight variation.

The solution is to fix your internet. If your problems are that bad, then you're going to fail mechanics in all sorts of fights, and you can hardly expect SE to trivialise content on the off chance...

That's completely untrue. A DPS who does poor DPS is horrible regardless of whether they survive or not. Not making a DPS check = wipe, no matter how well you dodge. There are also instances where a...

Which fights were difficult aside from the obviously broken AV/PW? Abyssea gets bashed a lot (mainly because it went crazy with 3x Atma) but the enemies in there were actually mechanical....

Yes, but that's the only mechanic in the fight. Otherwise you literally just stood there and mashed away.

Majority of FATE bosses is basically what they want. Zergable, tank/spank, zero skill...

Dynamis was basically 3-4 hours of just farming endless trash mobs. Do not want.

This is completely untrue. There are few mechanics which will outright kill the raid if failed by a single individual. One very good healer can maintain the workload of two for a period of time,...

I think Turn 7 is a good example of a combination of mechanics with some degree of randomness, while minimising the chance of RNG screwing you over.

Sounds like he just wants to faceroll on the basis of gear... though I do agree with less scripting. The point about the mechanics is dumb though - else you end up with a skill-less battle system á...

I actually have had good experiences with Expert Roulette on the whole. Met quite a few cool people (damn you for not having cross-server social functionality!) and have never had a catastrophic run....

I do Titan for fun :(



What makes Levi and Moogle EX different from Titan EX? Arguably if you're having trouble with Titan, you'll have trouble with those too. Your use of insults suggests...

That is because this is a common scenario which parsers rectify. Bad players deserve to be singled out and removed from party finder groups which specify a minimum level of performance, whether they...
