Sadly it was changed. I was just in the fight a couple days ago and I saw that only ONE person was gett hit by the bubbles and all I thought was WELP this is over. The sneeze happens and 2 people fell from being too close to the edge and there was no wipe.Quote:

05-12-2016, 12:14 AMFynlarThat's okay, because the pre-nerf fight was terrible.Quote:
It's.. like "yay" i don't have to lose 30min on this now, but.. newer players will never know the joy of the fight the way it originally was.

05-12-2016, 12:18 AMbass9020How was it terrible other than no way to reset the fight? It was a pretty cool fight that REQUIRED people to actually take a second to discuss a game plan to succeed. But again that's too much for people to do in gaming theses days.Quote:

Stuff that's difficult enough to the point where the DF usually can't do it is not something that should gatekeep an entire expansion. It would be as asinine to me as making a fight like Titan EX the requirement to getting into Ishgard instead, and that's basically what pre-nerf SoF was like for me in terms of how often you'd get a win on it on the DF.Quote:

When pre-nerf SoF was put on the trials roulette, I stopped doing that roulette for a while because the roulette landed on it the vast majority of the time, and the vast majority of the time it would be a group that could not clear the content, so why waste my time?
The initial fight left such a sour taste in many players' mouths, to this day I still very often get people who immediately leave the group when they land in SoF as their roulette, even though nowadays the fight is pretty much pathetically easy to clear. I don't think many even realize that it was nerfed. -
05-14-2016, 01:43 AMFoxyArekuYou see though, this is why the dragon's neck nerf is so hilarious and/or saddening, because 90% of the playerbase can't even manage to follow the simple instructions of "stand in front of the boss then hit one button".Quote:

05-14-2016, 03:15 AMbirdy_reeneI feel this way in Thornmarch EX. It amazes me how simple that trial is, but people are to dumb to listen to mechanics and do what they are told for a megar 15 minutes to get their clear, even on unsythed.Quote:

"Do you guys how to free from Gaol?"
"What's that lol"
Leave. 30 min penalty is a blessing. -

05-14-2016, 05:43 AMFoxyArekuThey did a lot of stealth nerfs a few patches ago that they didn't really go into detail about. There was a reddit thread about it at some point.Quote:
