Is this acceptable for a story dungeon? (Thornmarch)

[Huntington]

1. Ha mine was so much worse, took like a minute or two before any mogs after the first one would appear, so I had to go against the targeting order and hit that numbered one first before I could attack anything else. Even when that first one was down by then, I still could not see any other targets usually. It feels bad when you're just running around dodging stuff you can't see while everyone else is doing their job, for my one run of it that worked anyways. I take it I should not quene as a Tank then at all, only done DPS so far, Healer would probably be easy since all of my party members would show up all the time unlike the enemies ha.



2. Do you use the R2 and L2 targeting cycle trick? If you hold R2 to go right, or L2 to go left, while hitting R1 or L1, it will quickly cycle through targets depending on their distance and proximity and the like. If there's two targets next to each other, just hold R2 and hit R1 to go to the right enemy, and L1 to go back to the left one. Not sure if you already do this but when I found it a few weeks back it helped tremendously with targeting.


I can't imagine what they nerfed for it when you see it now, I would do it all day every day for the weapons since it's such a simple fight when issues like this aren't happening, I hate to hear that I'd need to purchase a SSD card just to make it acceptable.

He only drops an 80 shield though which is the problem for Gladiator, you get Garuda's HM sword or the Mog one, and those are your best choices till Relic. The shield is still good, but I've never seen it drop on all of my runs even though I've seen others with it, so it's complicated.

Greetings,

We’ve confirmed a bug post-patch 2.16 where the client’s processes are lagging noticeably in certain content. We are currently working quickly to address this and we apologize for the inconvenience.

It is known that the PS3 client is having trouble with this fight.

As for the duty finder problem, I would suggest queuing with friends or make a party finder group.

I hope they do mean Thornmarch with that, I'd love to actually enjoy the fight and it's mechanics, but it's impossible to do that when you're running a PS3. It's a little outdated and everything by this day yeah, but it's still a great console. I heard rumors they were going to drop the PS3 entirely from ARR so I have no knowledge if that's more than a rumor or not, it has some slight possibilities.

Kinda late, but the quote in question was in response to a thread about the moogle fight lag in particular so it's lilkely what they were talking about. It's an issue for the PS3 and is due to a bug in the PS3 client (which is different from the PC client), not because of the PS3 itself.

On PS3 support being dropped, it isn't supposed to happen anytime soon and I believe the interview mentioned that the PS3 version would definitely last past the first expansion. They won't drop it until the PS3 becomes a severe hindrance.

Translations can be iffy, so uncertain if it was said that PS3 will certainly get expansion or that PS3 support will not be dropped before first expansion...

I love thronmarch as a healer. I offer to dps the first phase since healing is very easy. I know when the transition is coming so I have my CDs and heals ready. There is almost no choreographed movement, and the movement that is required is somewhat random.

The que times and weird lag are pretty awful. Last night when I switched crossbars it literally took 10 seconds for the icons to appear... and I never actually saw several of the mogs... but using target of target, and muscle memory I still did quite well

I think SE fixed what was wrong with the fight, started it up earlier and the cutscene started at the beginning before I even saw the loading image, and I was in the fight in less than a minute and enemies were showing up. Maybe this is because I have the disc in the tray as well so that's improving loadtimes, not sure, but I'd say for others if that didn't fix it for me, that it should be fine to run now for consoles.

Nobody does Thornmarch in the DF.

Everybody groups up in the Party Finder instead and runs it over and over again once they have a good party put together. It's just like with the extremes, where you need people with knowledge and skill a lot more than gear so the PF is the way to go.

Any1 looking for a weapon upgrade before relic could go ifrit hm? Pretty easy with a good stunner, and faceroll with a caster summon.... even duty finder got it right most times and it pops fast-ish even for a dps, unlike mog.

His is easy which is funny, but Mog's weapon is the best till Relic unfortunately.
