Love Raid Finder <3

Having bad luck with Sophia EX farm groups in PF because people get touchy and then slam each other very fast. Leading to massive drama.

I've noticed a lot more influx of wins coming from Raid Finder lately because it's just people who want to win. I'm surprised to find a haven in RF then my own servers PF lol.

I'm pleased SE implemented this.

RF has been great for sophia farming. It really is better then most pf's.

Raid Finder is fantastic. Such a good system. Party finder is so so. With very few exceptions the clears have been quite good.

First time ever using it here, first time doing a current Ex Primal.

Loved it, got good practice groups and got my clear on my 2nd Duty Completion party :)

Also got a 2nd clear on my first Duty Completed party!

Raid finder is fantastic for sophia ex. I've even seen birds drop there and the clear rate is insanely high. Lamia's pf is abysmal.

All my weapons and even my bird came from RF wins. Love the RF!

Now if only the other Ex primal fights queues would pop...

I do agree raid finder gives a higher success of clear, win, rate, in practice party finder everyone(often) kicks me before evenn enterin the duty just because i told em i'm new here lol

It needs some improvements honestly.

Took me ages to get a Sophia clear because after being down to 5 or 6% several times the raid finder kept putting me in with people who had ticked completion and couldn't even survive the second phase or people that couldn't even survive the first gnosis

They need to add restrictions somehow.

So if someone has never tried it before the only raid finder options available to them are "duty incomplete > practice > phase 1"

Then if they make it to phase 3 alive, they can use the raid finders "duty incomplete > practice > phase 3" option

and when they get to a point where they've seen all the mechanics or got the boss to a certain HP threshold the "duty incomplete > completion" option is finally unlocked.

It was incredibly frustrating queing "duty incomplete > completion" and failing to get past phase 2 because people were ticking that option even if they never entered the fight before.

Seems better when you can use the "duty complete" option though, my second clear came quite easy after my first. still make a couple of mistakes but it seems no one ever uses "duty complete > practice" either. 134 minutes into a queue wth those settings at time of writing this.

I meant people using the "duty incomplete > completion" option when they've never been in the fight and should be using "duty incomplete > practice > phase 1"

the "duty incomplete > completion" option should be for when people have almost beaten the fight or got the boss down to maybe 10% or so, not for people who can't even make it to the second phase.

Personally I've had poor luck with raid finder to complete raids. Wait an hour or more, there will be someone who is slightly less skilled at the raid, raid votes to dissolve instead of telling the player(s) what to change. Then back in the queue for more than an hour, sometimes never getting in for two hours.

I hear you. Few days ago I went to A9S via RF. I marked option Incomplete -> completion because I have been several times to 10% of the boss so I just wanted to finally finish it. We entered and three people asked "any tips for strat, its my first time here". Not only are people lazy to watch youtube guide, but they are bold enough to check "completion" flag when they never ever been there. It is so frustrating.:mad:

I hear you also, the other day also chose the option Incomplete> completion for SophiaEX as i have not had much luck getting into groups but had been to around 40% on a learning group one night.
Anyhow, most of the group failed, and a drg i believe at the end said you guy's got your practice run now, next time learn the fight before even though he was the one that died before everyone and was failing basic mechanics....
Granted this was the first time i have used raid finder but it was a fail
