SE really?! really 99 cap boss this hard?!?!

[Morier]

I love the way all the people who walked through the fight with their party full of skilled, well geared capped leveled players look back on it as an "easy" fight..

There are a large amount of players out there who do not have the benefit of a supportive linkshell full of age-long friends.

I did it in a shout group, no items, it was easy. Stop crying.

So did I. Doesn't mean that my shout group wasnt 3 monks and a summoner though.What got you through? I doubt it was all the jobs no one wanted?

I will say I did go 1/10 until I won...all where shout parties.....
Despite the many loses.....alot of us had fun through out it....it was fun....you couldn't do a "leroy jenkins" and expect to win...I will say it is MUCH different then say abyssea since you are no longer in God Mode. I enjoyed it....

Of course I guess if you was someone who came to game around abyssea you could get aggrovated at this.....
For people who was playing game pre-abyssea...I'd figure would enjoy the fight since it's something that can't be done by just by having the job leveled or having atmas to make up for it....

And I am sure that when you stood there looking for a party in your Full emp +2 with relic weapon and 20/20 jobs to choose from with years of party experience you found no problem finding another group of like people to walk through the fight with like it was swatting an annoying fly on your route to god-hood.

Some of us don't have any of that.

I don't count it as crying, but merely asking for a chance for the non-elite non-deities.

Try standing there in two months time wearing perle and see how far you get.

There are a large amount of players out there who do not have the benefit of a supportive linkshell full of age-long friends.
Who don't have any of the sought after jobs leveled or who are just not comfortable in large groups who will *never* be able to break 95.

Those laughing off the fight as "easy" when people are complaining of 0/x attempts really don't help.


All the other level breaks (with the exception of a bit of farming for the early breaks) have been a test of personal strength/tactical thinking/just getting the work done to prove to maat or that moogle that you can have the next level.

Now we have a level break that *requires* the best gear in the game and a full party to get through. No amount of work can get around this. If you don't have *other* people to prove that *you* are worthy you don't get through. What is wrong with that picture?

Once the buzz has died down, there will be many left at 95. Forcing a full, skilled, capped, well geared party before a personal barrier can be broken is plain wrong.

I am all for a challenge, but when it is for personal advancement, let it be a personal challenge.

Much as many of us hated the Maat fight, it was possible with the right tactics on ANY job. This fight, for many, will be the mountain too high.

I only hope that SE include a re-think of this when they impliment the level break revision announced for sometime next year.

The THF in ym PT was full aurore gear

PLD had a Koenig Shield and full perl.

I was the only one with the MNK that geared swap.

The reason we won was because the leader (the monk) annoyed people about what to do and made sure they understand. You guys that sucks are like kids we need to take you by the hand or else you won't do anything.

Stop blaming square you wipe you suck the fight is easy

Didn't quote you tav, lrn2read. It was a reply to the guy moaning about not having a linkshell of old friends to do it with. I know it was hard to see who i was replying to with the big ass quote box and all, but try harder next time.

Hurr durr, posted in public. I felt your comment warranted some kind of reply. You can't seriously expect every single player to be part of a massive linkshell? Or know one person who plays every job who will ditch everything to help their old friends out? This attitude of you suck, get better isn't going to deal with the long term problem with this cap. WHICH IS WHAT IM TRYING TO BRING TO DISCUSSION IN THIS THREAD.

Again Tav you show you have no sense of reading comprehension. The entire point of my post and reply to him, was that YOU DO NOT NEED a big ls or super great fun time friends. Once again learn to read please.

We just won with: WHM SAM MNK BLM BLM BST

We used two tails right from the start, and blms nuked. Fight took 3 minutes, 22 seconds.

Damage I dealt as BLM99/RDM49 was:
Blizzaja 1778
Blizzard V 1628
Thunder V 1661
Firaja 1616
Blizzard IV 1072
Aeroja 1540

Recycle spells. Went incredibly smooth, so if you can find 2 BLMs with their 2hrs, and can get 2 tails, I'd highly recommend this route.

Good luck!
