Finally a fight against a huge boss.

I was looking forward to a fight with a huge boss for so long and finally it is here. Feels much more epic than fighting tiny Bahamut prime.
Thanks SE and please, add more fights like this in future. :D
(even thought he was just walking in a straight line)

Too bad managing the 7 other adds is a bigger challenge than the boss itself.

I wouldn't be all, "What the hell took so long?!" about Vishap. I mean, how do you make a giant boss that doesn't go out like a punk? They probably thought a long time about it. It's cool to see, yes, but I'm glad they didn't rush themselves on it. Can't wait till I get to fight it, though. So excited!

Indeed...
Waiting for FC to catch up before I try it again... 90 minutes (over two runs) of fails due to people not listening was too much for me to try it in DF again.

Put together a party and cleared after 2 wipes, the battle was interesting but in a few days when everyone figures out it's going to be really easy (like most fights I guess). Overall I liked it, reminded of Lao-Shan Lung from Monster Hunter.

I jumped into a PF and it turned out to be an utter failure too. People weren't communicating.

I bailed after 3 wipes, just gonna wait till some people from my static get on.

The trial is fun, but when you get people who don't listen to the concept of the whole battle it gets annoying in my opinion. The battle is very easy but seems people just want to stab things and not think a bit.

If you join a DF 3 hours after the patch drops be prepared to wipe on new content. If you can't handle that then wait for you static team or FC. I bailed after one wipe not because I didn't want to try again, but because I didn't want to hear the player complain that we didn't read the guide and that we are just bad players.

LOL yeah I've already seen PF's up with 'know your role' and 'read up on the fight'. I mean, seriously?

I'm perfectly willing to keep trying at it if people are actually communicating and listening.

I always thought Svara was quite big... I can't wait to see how big this wyrm is!

That's hilarious and ridiculous. 'Read up on the fight' - how about no. It's a story trial, lawd.

A story trial that's been out for less than 4 hours, even. xD

I have done it via DF but I think everyone has a right to state their requirements, plus reading up on the fight means SPOILER ALERT knowing that adds should be under the boss, that people should use dragon killer and snares.

Nothing wrong with that really... that's usually after having tried it a few times and only getting people that don't listen to what to do.
One or two dry runs to let people see what it's about should be enough, but a lot of people just refuse to listen and do their own thing instead. Causing wipes and frustrating other players.

It's HILARIOUS when casuals get a chance to flex their "raiding muscles" by putting stuff like this up in PF for day one content. News flash: no one's impressed you took a day off from manning the cashier at the corner 7-11 to down this first and lord over it.

what bothers me the most from reading the discussions so far about this trial is the fact that the adds are harder than the boss.

when will we ever get a set of developers in a game who can make a single boss challenging instead of relying on annoying adds to provide the challenge? phoenix is a good example of a snooze-fest if it weren't for the bennus, literally nothing else in that fight is interesting and even the bennus aren't that interesting.

Because that's totally the EXACT situation with everyone posting on the PF right now.

Anyway, I would venture a guess that the more hardcore are the ones more likely to pull this type of stuff, but hey, that's just my assumption. As a filthy casual, I couldn't give a rat's ass, and I'll get around to this fight sometime this week...I think.

I seriously doubt any of the hardcore raiders would act like this. Who would they be trying to impress? In my experience, the one's with the heavy sighing, hemming and hawing of first day content like story-mode Trials and Dungeons tend to be mediocre players who were just first in line. It really is their one and only to shine in their own mind.

Gdi SE, just noticed the face plates...

Whatever group makes up these people, I'm sure we can agree that the behavior is pretty lame.

And boo. I seem to have ended up as the Stoic Hildebrand. ._.

Hahaha... Yeah, it's hard to have a debate looking at these face plates. Well played SE.

I don't understand what's so hard for them about using the cannons.

Sound spoke a lot of reason for problems is that people have been so over geared that now everything is "ignore mechanics and burn the boss" and then they throw this fight in and the people who think they can keep ignoring mechanics are just not ready for it lol

big monster i would like more like a boss fight i mean boss did nothing just walking :)

Oversize boss is sooo world of warcraft...ewww. In no rush to get there, lol!
