    Greetings,

    We understand that the mechanics of Twintania are a very hot topic in the community currently and I would like to clarify a couple of things.

    First, I would like to clarify something about the bug report flow as we've seen many comments about this in the past. Bugs that have been moved to the "Accepted Bugs" forum are those that have sufficient information to be investigated. Although a reported bug was moved to the "Accepted Bug" forum does not mean that what was reported is an actual confirmed bug. Apologies for any confusion related to this process.

    Next, there have been a lot of comments about how surviving Twintania's "Twister" ability is seemingly random. Please know that it is not random and that the development team has adjusted the difficulty of this battle to be of the highest level that is in the game currently. With that said though, it was still designed to be beaten. While we definitely cannot comment on strategy, we believe that a valiant group will be able to defeat Twintania.

    This reminds me of the good old Absolute Virtue thing in FFXI.

    ...Good times.

    ...you do know people will still think it is random and unbeatable with or without official word on it, right...? No amount of official announcement will shut whiners up unless you literally reveal the whole fight's mechanics. Law of minimal effort: blame it all on someone else.

    Then if they reveal the mechanics, then what is the point of making this the hardest boss in the game? They might of just issued everyone a booklet with the mechanics of every fight day 1 of the game, if they were to comment on the twister mechanics.

    Anyway, it's good to know that it's a mechanic issue. People keep searching!

    Keep in mind latency must be considered. if I play the game locally, like a developer based team and you have people playing the game all across the world if a single player lags inside of a twister, and successfully get out of it, then you're going to have to consider that. Because this is an online game, and we can't benefit from a local run client with no lag.

    Is this the same team responsible for Absolute Virtue and Pandemonium Warden in FFXI?
