Fan Census: This is embarrassing

[Erudain]

JP servers have more players cleared T13.
JP servers have more Lalafell.
Coincidence? I think not!

I love statistical sites like these.

Lol right? is like global warming, it started when pirates numbers started to decrease? Coincidence? Pastafarians think not!

Zodiark 0.0... something!...
HAhahahahahahh!

I can... shamefully admit that... By now, only three or four decent statics here... That's why I sadly have troubles for it, completed by miracle before my raid got killed... You can count final witness with your hand fingers.... Until 2.55 only one raid did it.....

I knew we were pathetic here, but, didn't expect that! x'3! made my day.

That's about on par with completion rates for end-raids in another MMO before Normal and Heroic mode was introduced.

The results kinda shows the games target audience and market groups i.e. casual + western market.

This has been pretty much my experience as well. The truly top-tier players are rarely ragers and more often very kind and helpful to others.

Mine too. My very first T9 clear was thanks to the help of a very kind SCH & SMN duo (decked out in Dreadwyrm gear) who joined our PF and told us they would stick with us until we cleared. It took us a few tries, but we finally got it down, and they were nothing but helpful and encouraging the entire time.

Different strokes for different folks. If I make a dumb mistake and I know I made it, I'd prefer siverstorm's response. Acknowledge the mistake and move on. Like you said, I'm probably already kicking myself over the mistake anyways.

This. Nine times out of ten, if I make a mistake, I know exactly what it was and don't need to be told. That's why I usually will say "I'm sorry, that was my bad. I did/didn't do X" to show that I know what I messed up on. I don't really need advice or encouragement in that situation; I just need to try it again without the messing up part.

No hate, no flame.

But tbh, you don't need a static to beat T9, especially not now anymore with the increase in gear and 20% echo. When I was still learning T9, I basically had no one at the same point with me. What I did? I added people that were solid at what they do/fast learners. Make your PFs to get specific kind of people. I joined Raiding Linkshells and after a week or two got it completed pretty effortlessly. And at that point there were actually less T9 parties than now on PF, at least on my server. And that was with 110-120 gear and 15% echo. The fight should still be perfectly doable with a solid PF team.

I think you should give the fight another chance and focus on finding people with a similar motivation to clear the fight. You can be pretty specific about the people you want to recruit on PF.

You might be correct, but...

Since im on a japanese sever, dont expect tactics to clear w/e content to be same as any other servers around.
And the fact is, EU does some things diffrent than japanese players do. (aswell as US)

Especially during T9, from my point of view ...the slightest lag when trying marathon
tactic for example can screw up things not just for me but entire party.
(DF is a real gamble since i dont even read japanese)

And whats worse,...i live in sweden and my connection isnt really suited for japanese servers.

so ya, what other choice do i have?..move back to Eu servers...yes...and leave my friends behind again?
I tried that, it got boring fast witouth my friends, so there's my dilemma...and im sure its same for a few others too.
Or maybe even ask my friends to move to EU server with me? or stay, keep trying & keep dieing?
Ya, i dont wanna leave my friends just for content...i rather quit than not having fun with my friends while playing the game.
So thats more or less my only choice. :3

HAha wow i thought more people beat it than that, holy crap.

[Zaft]

HAha wow i thought more people beat it than that, holy crap.

It's not too surprising really. Check out these charts from WoW on how many people beat current their content:



Just in case you can't eyeball it, here are the actual numbers:

• Ka'graz: 0.77%
• Darmac: 1.4%
• Gruul: 0.81%
• Oregorger: 1.19%
• Hans and Franz: 0.86%
• Thogar: 0.33%
• Blast Furnace: 0.08%
• Kromog: 0.47%
• Maidens: 0.19%
• Blackhand: 0.02%

Yeah. That's low. Only two bosses more than 1% of the playerbase have actually defeated.
