Why no further Echo on T9?

[juniglee]

I want to say that T9 isn't really that hard. Granted, I myself really need that P4 practice, as it feels like there's so many colliding mechanics at once (Fire Out, Thunder back/Lunar Dynamo, Fire In, Iron Chariot, bait Super Novas, stack for Thermionic Beam, and I've forgotten everything past this point. I also want to practice it such that I can rely on muscle memory for the mechanics). Essentially T9 itself is 4 different fights, compiled into 1 huge fight.

My main issue isn't the mechanics. My main issue isn't the strength of the Echo. My main issue is the lack of patience of the playerbase.

Too many times now I've gone into DF T9. I've reached Phase 4 a grand total of 2 times over the last 2 weeks of using the DF. And here's the kicker - "yay we got to Phase 4, only took 2 tries! Wait what? Why are we Vote Abandoning?"

Even in PF. 2 tries is all anyone can stomach before I see the all too familiar "Thanks for the party guys". Once someone leaves, everyone else just leaves too, and we're back to square one.

As Coatl says, this entire content is channeled towards getting people to form a static. Well...you don't need a static, you just need a group that's willing to stick together for a couple of hours or three, and work towards getting that content down together. Back in 2.1, I have pugged T5, and cleared it with a PF group too - but it took me 4 hours. I was fortunate enough to find a patient group, I really feel that's all you need to get past it. Everyone has mildly different playstyles, people are used to various strategies, so you'll need time for the makeshift team to gel too.
