Syrcus Tower Woes

I basically tank and spanked em.

Did Hein/Amon enjoy the spanking? I am assuming he would have. Maybe that's why he wanted to close the curtains - for privacy.

No I don not expect them to be an expert. I don't even expect them to understand the mechanics. I do expect them to be able to figure out that standing in an AoE or being hit by an avoidable attack is something they should not be doing(atleast not more than once). Also being aware of your team and where they generally are spread around is helpful as it means a healer doesn't suddenly need to drop everything and run to the other side of the field to heal little 'ol you that decided to be there.

This is exactly my point. It's more about players being lazy (or stupid). For example on 2nd boss. You see a big flying disc roaming around the room. A normal player's first though is hmm...that might hurt if I touch it better avoid it. I don't expect players to be perfect, hell I don't even expect them to be good players. What I do expect is that they are paying attention and trying to learn the mechanics not just spamming 1 2 3 and hoping they get a clear.

My spank game is off the chain. He left that encounter a changed man.

The spinning pizza is funny, a BRD got hit by it and ran the same direction it was going. Needless to say there was a array of floating dmg comming out of his feathery hat and he got a first hand taste of the golden floor. It was funny to watch.

We literally had a group where no one knew what to do.......

It was fun and amazing the Ally Chat was booming with ideas and jokes and what not I loved it ''learning'' the dungeon I'm a high end coil player too T5, Levi EX is my resume as WHM ...and I'm all for watching videos but it was 4 am and I was already stoked about the tower and what not so I just went with it , we wiped 4 times on the first boss , 0 on the second and 2 times on the third and 0 on the fourth it was a blast.

Sometimes it just takes the ''right '' players

i think it basically comes down to obscure mechanics. at the first boss you see some orbs and a lot of aoes. the game doesnt prepare you or explain anything to you in front of it. try reading debuff descriptions during a heated battle. it's all trial & error in this game and some people learn faster than others.

Maybe it was tasty pizza?

It looks like three cheeses.

And then there are those that expect everyone to be an expert at a dungeon that's been out for less than 24 hours.

Lol the raging has been wild. It's been out a day and people are already frustrated because it isn't going smoothly. OMFG how do you not know this by now, noob?! Can't believe some of the egos in this game.

I already got my oil this week, I guess by next week everyone will have 15 min speed runs down.

Oil does drop? thought I read that oil and sand were to be added later? I know UAT is a go. I have been once only so far for initial clear hence I am asking for confirmation.

Oil drops. The sad part is when someone in your party lots on oil, wins it, and then asks the party what it's for.

Meanwhile, the rest of us want to rip their face off and set it on fire... >.>
