This quote made my day :) I needed a good laugh

Oh don't be so pessimistic. I remember Ifrit taking entirely too long to down in 1.0 considering that it's the easiest of the easy mode now. And Twintania is a million times harder. :)

Soon we'll be like 'omg why'd that take us so long to figure out???'

Spoken like someone whose sole experience on the encounter is phase 1 and 2 streams.

When that changes, feel free to let me know and then we can have a real discussion.

Anyway do you get a cake or somethig if ever you kill him first? I mean who cares abt world first now and later? Do you get a boner? Am i jealous? No. Just thinking logical. It is a motivation to kill him world first yeah but its nothing else than that. It is funny how ppl dont wanna share anything cuz they spent their rl time ingame for achieving nothing but a kill. If you are so sure the encounter is broken, for what are you spending so much time then? Boner? It must be a boner.

Honestly you're probably right, but I'd like to think you are wrong and just pessimistic. I mean, progression seems almost random at times, but I'd like to think its doable with perfect execution and a bit of luck.

Why does anyone play in a competition? Why doesn't everyone get a trophy at the end of the season? Why do people bother to people play CoD or any multiplayer strategy game ever? Because we want to win, we want acknowledgement from ourselves and others. We want to be "that" guild. We want to be special snowflakes. What's wrong with that? Are you saying anything not worth something to you is worthless in general?

Probably because it's fun and comes with a sense of accomplishment. Of working together as a group. Someone has to beat it first. It's a friendly and fierce competition between FCs across all servers. Who the hell are you to judge?

It probably gives him a boner.

Okay, here is where we are at. Not sure if thats significant progress but sure. We have been able to make it to the explosion with the adds close to dead or dead(we need to work a little on that). We have made it to the tornadoes and bird guy 6-9 times. So, we don't have a whole lot of exp with the 5th phase. The tornadoes seem to one-shot. I haven't survived one with 4400 HP(SCH). The dreadknight(?) seems rather week if you can survive the tornadoes. If the tornadoes do indeed one-shot there has to be a way to avoid them. We have tried several things with no luck so far, but as I said earlier, we haven't experienced it enough.

ADS almost down but we had to pug a dps spot last night, tonight we get out blm again and it should be a easy clear.
