I'd like more fights like M4

I've not done the savage version yet obviously so I dunno how that is, but M4 is truly fun and just a blast to go through. I'm not sure what it is about it, but even when I get a bad group that can't stay alive and hits enrage, I STILL have a blast.

Good job on this fight SE. It is truly superb.

Yeah, I did my first m4 or a8 yesterday as a tank and mt and I was like whoa whoaa, so many mechanics, it's really fun. I caused the party wipe once and thank god all the people from the df just laughed it all out, which was very very strange. That restored my faith in df a little bit.

That fight was one of the best fights in the game. Really fun.

agreed , best fight in ffxiv in my opinion , even when wiping i am still having lots of fun

everything about the fight was perfect <3

The whole m1-4 was super great. Even the story steped up a lot from a1-4.

M1 was great with the syringe mechanic, like, awesome to discover and still fun after 20+ runs to do.
M2 was fun with lots of different mechanics as well, and the savage mode seems super promising.
M3... meow and rolling balls. 11/10 would want more
M4.. sorta disappointed at the start (what the heck is that fugly thing and where is voltron ?), but I soon realized my mistake and I've been enjoying the fight a lot after my first wipe. Only negative point : the enrage is super unimpressive. Ray of light and death ? Meh. Bring out the big guns please

I have to agree.
All The Midas mechanics are complicated, but not difficult. Just the right amount of complexity. Good job SE

I have to admit, I enjoy the positivity expressed here. I for one am trying my absolute hardest to enjoy it, but I've queued with nothing but groups who have a hard time with the mechanics. It leaves me frankly exhausted. In my personal opinion, A8 shouldn't take 2+ hours to clear.

Aside from actually running it with people, the mechanics at the core are really well done. I've never had to stay on my toes for a fight so much before. Thumbs up from me, dev team.

The music is part of what makes it great imo. The point where the last phase begins and the Gordias remix starts always makes me smile. :D

I like the amount of mechanics too, even though some of them were copy pasted from previous floors. I wish every floor had it's own mechanics and were as complex as A8. It's very rewarding to memorize it and help others learn. They still managed to include small dps checks which makes a nice balance between knowing rotations and the encounter itself.

Opinions :p

I find the return of silence, loads of party coordination and stuff like that very good and I look forward to learning this fight.

Of course once I'm there I'll hate every stupid wipe, but that's the fun in raiding if you have a group to goof around with

the music helps a lot tho , loved the last song :3

Midas is just a blast in my opinion, I can't wait to go home and dive back into it today with the reset. I think this really shows the strength of incorporating good, well-developed mechanics into a fight rather than just the massive DPS checks we had before. The DPS check doesn't add anything to the fight, it doesn't really force you to be active or attentive to what is going on and really it just lets you coast through the fight which is boring. I hope SE keeps up this level of raid in the future, it's really the most enjoyment I've had in fights in a long while.

If anyone answers this, I'd really appreciate it if it was hidden behind [hb] tags ^^; Am planning to do the Savage versions (since I love Midas so much more than I ever did Gordias) with friends at some point before they're completely outdated, and would prefer not to get information regarding mechanics. ♥ At least not in a thread that isn't dedicated to discussing Savage ;p
