Who is ready for the wipes?

I'm ready for the wipes. I'm ready to figure out new content for the first time with friends and my FC. this is also the first time I'm around in an mmo for the launch of a major expansion so not gonna miss this.

Who is ready for tons of wipes? Who's ready to be patient and actually learn new content instead of OMG NEED QUICK FARM WITH DOUBLE REQUIRED ITEM LEVEL ONLY!

:cool::cool::cool:

I don't expect manny wipes for now. Usually the players that get sooner to new content, (Specially lvl cap content) are more "dedicated players", and they don't have much trouble with it.

Of course, that will change after 4 weeks on Omega Savage and the extreme trial, but for now...

Here's to hoping that people actually have some patience lol, I forsee huge headaches in PuG ques. Really hope people show a positive side going forward.

Well, with the average patience of players it's gonna be "OMG we wiped to mechanics nobody knows about yet, abandon!"

I brought some extra rolls of toilet paper, so I am ready for them.

My favorite thing about expansions (and to a smaller extent patches) is going in blind. Having no idea what the bosses are like and seeing a piece of gear and thinking, "Woah, what is that? How do I get that?!" After a few months all the regular players will basically know everything, but for awhile there we're stepping into the unknown and I love it. So whenever I do a new dungeon in an expansion I ask my party to please not tell me any boss mechanics or strategies. I love to go in blind at least once and fight bosses with quick wits instead of muscle memory.

So yeah, bring on the wipes.

I'm ready for hour long DPS queues.

lesse: I'm ready with ilvl 270 gear I can self-repair in dungeons. I also got able and willing tank to pty with and probably a 2nd DD. All we'd need is a healer.

yeah it should be fun, rather than just running through something systematically, it's nice to go with a group that has no idea what to do and has to work it out.

God, that reminds me when Alexander (normal) was first released. Right after about two days or three people were already DEMANDING you have seen a guide.


I don't even. When have people lacked so much confidence in themselves and the people around them. The only reason I feel compelled to come in first is so I can figure things out on my own and not be told what I should and shouldn't do by someone on youtube that just happened to finish it first.

I must admit, I wish I felt like I was able to take part in this, too. Alas, with WHM getting absolutely shafted by the 4.0 combat changes, I feel more or less compelled to try out RDM before taking WHM through the Stormblood storyline. By the time RDM hits 60 and can start the new content, I fear there'll already be plenty of guides out there, and player expectations will already be hardening.

I remain hopeful, though, that I can burn through things fast enough to still catch some of the initial hype =)

Edit: At least I have a tank friend, so my RDM queues shouldn't be all that bad.

*pshaw* The only people who'd make a fuss over a level 61 dungeon wipe would be the folks who fancy themselves professional endgamers and will likely be gnashing their teeth all the way to 70.

^This, I agree

I also like to figure out the mechanics on my own when I first enter a dungeon or trial - in the end I'm either right or wrong which it's fun to me. :)

I'M ready for wipes. Part of the reason I enjoy diving into new content is having to figure out how the fights work before I get them down to farm status. Doesn't matter if I'm a Tank, Healer, or DPS at the time.

Sadly, given the... patience levels I tend to see from some players in this game, I fully expect there to be people ALREADY at level 70 on the first day of release (or at least 2 days later) of Stormblood, complaining about how people don't know about mechanics yet. Like when Heavensward released, I fully expect this to happen to me at least once... in a dungeon run:

*Somehow does end up wiping to one of the said new boss fights, due to being new*

"WTF Felicia!? Have you watched a guide before entering this battle!?"

Me: "... it's literally... the first week of an expansion pack... and you expect me to already know this fight like the back of my hand?"

"WTF! LOL SCRUB ALERT! GET GUD SCRUB!" *Attempts to vote kick me or vote abandon*

You can bet a certain forum will be littered with posts from these burnouts saying exactly this.

Oh I definitely am. Time for lots of detective work. I hope they won't be too easy. I mean we have had to pass dozens of dungeons to unlock the way into Gyr Abania. We have all had plenty of practice.

I'm ready to wipe! I honestly don't watch guides to any of the content and I've cleared most of it. I haven't been harrased too much but I just don't get playing the game like that. Why would you want everything mapped out for you? It takes the fun and excitement out of it.

i wouldn't be Bracken without dying to something stupid... oooh a butterfly...... (skips off)

I'm definitely ready. I need to switch to my "the Reaper" title for all the wipes :P

Me! Me! I love going in blind as a healer. Seriously, that's where the fun is. Facing a challenge, trying to figure out the best approach, while everyone is learning their class again, it'll be so much fun!

I cant wait for the drama of "DON'T SPOILED THE FIGHT FOR ME, I WANT EXPERIENCE AND LEARN THE FIGHT MY SELF" group.

Aside from when I played a teensy little bit at launch, this is actually going to be the first time I get to experience new content at the same time as everyone else. No pre-made guide videos or experienced veterans to help me this time... it's a bit scary, but also exciting!

speaking as a tank...

I am ready to wipe with my FC buddies. Guides be darned.

yeah. there are definitely people out there who run at the first wipe. Personally, I rejoice in the dead bodies and want to go again. Makes me sad when abandon boxes pop up. I hit no every time...almost. A group has to really not try for me to abandon.

Rejoice in the dead bodies! Necromancer will be the new un announced healer job coming with Stormblood! when a Necromancer raises someone they are raised as a brain craving zombie!

I am ready! First time runs are my favorite thing.

I would play that...and I hate healing people. :D

I don't know about everyone else, but I always wipe. I wipe good.

I wish I could be optimistic like you. My experience has always been (on release day no less) "you better know what you're doing" or "you better watched a video/strat" and always massive shit talk in party/alliance chat.

I've noticed that player patience for wiping is usually higher during the first few weeks of new content.

I'm sorry to hear that. So far I've had nothing but good experiences when I've asked to go in blind :( I think the worst case I've encountered was someone who missed my request and tried to explain the strategy to me anyway, but they were only trying to be helpful and were OK with my request when I repeated it. I enjoy going in blind so much that if I found a party that was unwilling to have a blind tank, I would just bow out of the group and find another.

It's going to suck for the dps who waits an hour to queue and gets a tank who is like "just used jump potion how do I tank?"
