You are locked out of Coil until the weekly reset.

That said I disagree with Yoshi's stance on this use of the mechanic in this way and I feel quite a few others would agree. I doubt anyone who had been attempting twintania for any matter of time had any real problem with BG using it though. But him being 'okay' with this type of interaction paints it in a dim light for future content when 'maybe-bugs' are put in and deemed alright in use.

Badly designed mechanics and their overall failure with Twintania gives their raiding atmosphere a very frightening future. Gratz on your kill BG and my apoligies for my accusations against you even if I don't quite agree with the ability to ignore mechanics(ie tank running into conflag to break the boss is still terrible design no matter how you look at it, I don't think this was intended still and SE just won't fix it cause it's been killed), but that is SE's failure and no fault of your own.

Anyway, taking a break til 2.2 since no other meaningful content is coming out, see if maybe they can pull out some bug-free content in the future.

Too busy eating crow to use his keyboard properly.

(Belated) Congrats to BG!

Edit: Damn, guess he finished eating the crow. Must not have tasted very good if he's still butthurt.

Nope, not at all. I'm not a 4 year old. I can take accountability for my words and say I'm sorry unlike most of the 2 year olds that browse these forums. This is the last time I'm posting in this thread, so take care and again gratz to BG.

But then why adjust twisters, fix hygeia stun bug, and make conflags immune to sleep and stun?

lmao, he mad

how are they ignoring a mechanic WHEN THEIR USING THE MECHANIC TO AVOID THE DMG...?????
it's like you can't let go of your straw man theroy.
Honestly, if your taking a break til 2.2, just don't even bother coming back, something tells me the community of FFXIV isn't going to feel bad about it one bit.

Just wanted to add my own congrats to BG! I'm not surprised you are the first to accomplish this. I'd also like to wish all the other FC's out there good luck.

Like i said.. you have to know SE and how they run things. If you hadn't played FFXI and you think it doesn't compare to this, you're so wrong. From the mass gil stripping, to the way coil works. This is just like Delve were the first five bosses have a gimmicky mechanic, you learn it and it becomes cake, and the final boss is a pain in the ass but has a few major weaknesses to exploit which helps you take it down. No difference.

Cg BG!

Ultimate question of ultimate destiny: Yoshi was all "ya'll hommies so bad, like, not even 100 gonna clear this before 2.1"

How far can we, as a community, smash that number now that we have BG's video? Even groups that caught up late and got stuck without turn 5 access cus of the take downs are already advancing several phases (which by all of your hard work and accounts, used to take new groups far more than 3-6 hours haha).

Wait everyone! It's not a world first because they still used their tool tips, and mouse clicks. /sarcasm

Yoshi-P has confirmed tooltips are working as intended.

Also, whereas not binding every ability to a shortcut key is not an exploit in of itself, the issue will be addressed in the upcoming patch. Please look forward to it!

Do you know the difference between people being good and content being hard? You say this like twister somehow got easier. This is basically what every doomsayer is saying about FFXIV raiding. Remember, the difficulty of the content has NOT changed, you got better. The sentiments you had about the difficulty of coil when it was first released still holds true.

No no, they nerfed it last night, it is EASIER to dodge twisters now.

Twintania's Twister
A number of players have asked if the mechanics of Twister are random, but as we have answered previously, this is not a random attack. That said, we believe the timing of this attack to be too unforgiving. Although we will be changing Firestorm, making it more difficult to handle, adjustments will be made to Twister so that the timing required to survive this attack is not quite so severe.

You should have taken this approach starting at page 1.

Grats BG.

Legacy on Sargatans seems to have cleared it as well, wonder how many clears there will be within a week.

MNK Allagan weapon looks pretty cool.

We've put a little something together to help people just starting to learn the fight: http://bluegarter.guildwork.com/foru...-activity-book

The SCH that did the video. How does he so seemlessly switch from having a party member targeted to having the mob targeted without seemingly clicking on it for when he casts Virus? I have been transitioning from using a Controller to Keyboard/Mouse and would really like to know? Am I just missing when he actually clicks on the monster or is he using a Virus macro with <tt> in it? Please and thank you. ^^

While a <tt> macro would indeed work, in this case Verily simply uses the tab key to quickly and reliably target Twintania.

Thank you. Wondered about that since there is only one mob if it just targeted that single mob. ^^

Yup. If there are multiple mobs but you know you're going to need to target a specific one regularly or watch its cast bar, you can set a focus target, then use a keybind to target your focus target when needed.

I honestly don't even know which buttons I'm pressing half the time

inb4 yoshi expedites 2.1 to next week :P

It would be funny if you arrive to the end of the coil and there is a sign saying "Blue Garter was here"

Because I use controller mode, all my keyboard letter turn into chat. so I wonder if there is any key that still could work for using "focus" target?

Congrats BG

order of the blue garter lol Those guys are still attention hogs after all these years? lol someone give them a hug so they can stop putting that name on everything they do. hahaha remember, its not the group that did it, just the people in that party.
