So, who was in that copied factory run where Alliance A soloed the 2nd boss?

Because that was me and my FC. We are gods, lol

Okay so context. My FC does what we call "Raid Night" where we do the current raid. With the new 24-man released, that was the raid we did, and we all went in blind. Well the first boss was interesting, but the real show stopper was the 2nd boss. Spoilers ahead... basically the party is split up and you're on a rotating set of platforms dealing with a multitude of mechanics. Well Allinaces B and C wipe, and because of how you're separated raising is hard because the healer could be just out of range. Well from about 40% onward my FC, all of Alliance A soloed the boss. I took a video and can upload it later, but soloing that boss felt awesome. The other Alliances even commented with praise, stating "can we give you guys all our commies". It felt good.

I mean, I did this earlier too with a random party. The other parties wiped too. That boss is easy, one party can solo, just takes centuries.

Oh yeah, forgot to add our tank respawned out of the boss area, so we did it w/o a tank.

This also happened to me, alliance A and C died, I was in B and we soloed it the rest of the way. We also got praise from the other alliances, was awesome :D

I think it was my first or second run where my Alliance soloed him. Then the next run was another alliance because our tank blew up the tethers on top of all of us. That was entertaining to watch.

Last night Alliance B soloed it after both other alliances died. Glad it's not one of those "If one alliance dies you all die" kinda boss.

Also felt pretty good since I was B's tank and was kinda under geard!

Yep, my alliance of randoms managed to do it too. Second boss isn’t hard.

NUUUU... my accomplishment, lol. But it's nice to hear that it happen to others and made them feel, powerful.

I had to suicide intentionally on the second boss after I'd noticed I was the only one standing for about 5 minutes on PLD. This was after being the only person in my party in the alliance alive for about 10. Based on that I feel like the actual challenge on that boss comes from other people on specific mechanics.

this raid is going to age really badly, even syrcus was more challenging at day realese.

Never heard of you, or about this, must not be that big of a deal.

This also happened in my run but it was alliance C.

Alliance raids always age badly due to out-of-control level scaling. Even Weeping City and Ridorana are pretty easy now.

if the alliance A had a drk in green armour that by all right should have died repeatedly from all the failed mechanics and the healers from the other alliances rezzed onto their platform because the red mage in A wasn't paying attention to the alliance chat, i think i know which game you were on about...
since I was that drk and had no idea how I was still alive with my camera spinning around frequently, constantly out of mp from having to shield the squishy members of the party with blackest night while hearing my popoto healer friend rage at me for having 4 vuln stacks. Twice.
I was struggling to judge when to move on some of those, like the spinning circle + rows exloding

anyway in terms of difficulty, I feel this one is going to age slower due to its odder mechanic tells than other 24 man raids. It certainly has the potential to incapacitate quickly

Alliances can't solo things if they're an alliance :3

Soloing Void Ark's Echidna on WAR was a thing though and quite fun.

ofc ,but took years for some alliance to become a rollface ,but you saw pug skipping phase in syrcus already at the end of arr ,this raid looks the same.

Was also in this situation at least twice. My group soloed that boss when I was in B and in C yesterday. Got A for the first time today.

I was in alliance A group that did that yesterday. I know during it yesterday kept raising tanks and healers with my rdm that was dead in alliance b and c. One time only one alive was team A's tank and had to revive every healer and 2 other tanks. that was very tough and not fun fight. Lag is real killer in there.

I'm glad to hear that this can be done by one party, at least. My first go through the raid we were the last party standing at about 10% and I was really worried the auto attacks and mechanics would stack and kill us like they do for other 24mans (such as Ozma and Cid). I felt like we narrowly dodged a bullet when we cleared, but I'm glad to know I don't need to worry about it so much in the future.

Just checking in to say my alliance solo'd him too. It's nothing special with the lack of an enrage...especially when you consider the ammount of mechanics being thrown out is reduced by 1/3rd each time an alliance wipes.
