Order of the Blue Garter Twintania Down (No Exploits)

Asom job guys!
My party just start scartchung Divebombing part XD
And my grand finale question: is there some bad ass CS after you kill her?

Congratulations!

I'm sure if they release a video, still a very small amount are going to be able to win it.

Congrats BG! Well deserved.

As expected, in Europe with my FC there is no way we can attempt anything beyond turn 2 without some kind of ping software. Thanks for the reply!

Grats and just curious if there's any estimated ETA on the video? Will you guys be waiting for at least another FC to kill it first or just whenever the video is done? Again just curious, excited to see how the fight is.

He said less than 100 people would beat it before 2.1, not that no one would. Which unless it's an easy to follow strat and is repeatable then that may stand true for the next month until 2.1.

So do you guys think youll have this on farm soon now that you've beaten it? Or is it incredibly hard and do you think itll be weeks before you can beat it again?

Holy cow congratulations y'all!!

I'm curious about this as well. Seems like with most of the stuff SE puts out, once you've got the mechanics understood it's pretty simple from then on assuming everyone has their act together and meshes well.

Grats guys !!!!!

upload the video !!!!

Wow, good job guys. Congrats!

Congratulations!!!

congrats you guys rock

If you actually need battleping to do it from Europe might as well quit. SE has made it quite clear it doesn't care about its European customer-base by making the only AAA MMORPG in the world without European servers but still selling it in Europe. I still have queues on one of the smallest "EU" servers so it's not about the amount of customers either.

Either way, congrats to you. Would like to see it done without external help however.

Only one of our European players was using Battleping for that kill.
I personally am in Europe (Germany) and can dodge Twisters just fine 90+% of the time without any external programs or help.

Congrats!

And lol at that greed number for the bracelet 1 ftw!

To add to what Arin said, I was mistaken; 2/4 non-NA members actually never turned it on for today's attempts because they're silly geese. But 3/4 only started trying it out a few days ago; we've had many attempts where our EU players had 80-90% dodge rates without Battleping. It does help, though.

sooooo... any tips for the fight while the video's not up yet? like did you figure out how to dodge the twisters consistently?

We have what we feel is a solid understanding of twisters. Some of what has been discussed is not far off from our understanding, which we developed about a month ago, but even with us feeling like we know how the mechanic works, twisters are extraordinarily unforgiving. We're going to wait until after we have a video up and we'd also like to allow other FCs some time to attempt the fight before we explain our framework for the fight.

Might be just me, but seeing as they say 80-90% dodge rate, that seems pretty consistent.

Congrats even though in the past I have heard your FC were the ones to glitch it.
Regardless, I know how your FC is full of great very dedicated players who have helped the community with crafting aspects of the game and strats. I can't wait for the video. I am very impressed you guys beat the t5 super buffed version. ^^

Btw does your bard use the bard macro? Purely curious.

Sorry, nope. You can check our lodestone achievement histories; we never even attempted to investigate the exploit once it was discovered, and you can check through the forums to see who discussed it.

Everyone making attempts at it glitched it, from what I heard. There's a reason they had to shut down the fight for a couple of weeks. Someone I know who is attempting it said they knew of 5 ways to glitch, one of which with everyone alive and in the arena.

Continuing on and killing Twintania and looting the chest after glitching is what is dishonorable.

not sure where you get your information from lol

So in the OP you said the last phase was super well-tuned, especially compared to vanilla WoW or EQ.

So like Kerafyrm hard or just hard?

Just tuned tightly against available gear, including ilvl 90. We've had good luck and bad luck on our drops; our party's aggregate ilvl was 82.5 at the time of the kill (Peng got an upgrade) according to xivarmory. I don't think we'll ever see a fight like the original Sleeper ever again. It's not tuned like original C'thun either.

Best thing about this thread is your MT isn't wearing a single piece of HQ crafted gear. So much for all the people saying you HAVE to do it for turn 5. :rolleyes:

Not sure, rumors had it you actually had to know what you are doing to glitch it. My team only attempted t5 a few times our gear isn't up to par for it yet.
I just know from hear say and talking to a few of their members, I know others have done the dishonorable thing on Excalibur kind of made me lose some pride in my server. This kind of makes me feel more proud of our community for one of our FC to do it legitly.

That's good, then.

Congratulations, I'm glad that it is beatable. I didn't want to believe that SE made the fight unbeatable.

congrats!, can wait to try turn5 myself currently @ turn4 :P

I don't think you need it when you already have i90s and only gauntlets and ring missing...
And everyone knows you can beat turn 1-4 with just DL.

He is a tank. Allagan/ilv 70 darklight has Vitality on it, the main advantage to Crafted gear. Not only that but hes almost fully decked out in ilv 90 gear. Go ahead and take your darklight raid to twintania and see how far your DD get with thier <4k hp. rofl.
