The Ifrit Fight is Dangerous to the Community.

Why? Because the content is too hard for you?

It's beatable, and doesn't require all that much. That says it was tested fairly well and that the server issues, if anything, are the deciding factor in whether a group succeeds or not.

I know it's beatable. The problem during this last run is that we're encountering more technical issues than human issues. We had one player who was on a horrible connection with Comcast (and they have a monopoly in many areas), and that wasn't helping things at all.

This whole thread is:

"I DONT WANNA LEVEL LANCER AND NOBODY WILL TAKE ME OTHERWISE WAHHH"

Admit it.

I'm a Lancer.

Then it isn't too hard. I don't see what the issue is. Server problems are well known to them and it's currently in the works to get fixed.

You want the fight to be nerfed NOW because of that?

Not like it can't be beaten with someone other than lancer in the party... You could just bring an afker and be fine...

Also... the server issues are just part of the fight really... all you have to do is run out of the fire immediately when it goes under your feet... EZ

I wouldn't be complaining right now if we had scaling difficulty options, like in the other thread I'd started some time ago.

It's not that hard to give players the option to have a moderately easier fight and have no "unique drops" happen because of the settings. Quite simple, really. (I do not understand why the detractors can't wrap their heads around the idea of having three difficulty settings for the ifrit fight, with the highest setting being the only one that drops the ifrit gear...)

It seems to me like someone needs a hug, and maybe a decent endgame Linkshell.

can't quote for more truth than this.

Only valid point in the post was the latency problem. Rest is a load of BS.

This is why they need to add some lower level Ifrit fight that doesn't drop anything....hey wait a second...

I'm naked.
Now what is dangerous to the community?

There is no indication that Square-Enix has done testing of that sort with the Ifrit fight. Which further supports my personal assertion to my friends that Square needs to implement a public test server.

Now there is one point I fully agree with you on. Back in April I said the same thing

Do they even employ quality assurance testers? Archers punching?? Really? How'd that get the go ahead. Much less a raid completable with 7 lancers and 1 healer. That just screams challenging content and class balance.
