Guy posts this 4 days ago with a complaint about a fight.

Doesn't come back for four days whatsoever to reply.

Methinks I smell trollbait and people are biting hard.

Just don't bother replying beyond my reply and let this bad attempt at baiting people to argue about nerf/non nerf die.

Fight is fine. It's a test to make you pay attention. Get to it.

I think he cleared the fight and he is ashamed to come back here.

Dunno. When I see someone who joins July 2017 and complains about a fight and states they've been there since 1.0, either they really didn't know a forum existed, or they never were social people and needed to post something which in 1.0, people were far more cozy than they are now and were more of a community, or the obvious complaint for someone who posts: Trollbait.

I'm cynical enough to think he's just trying to get people to bite hard on something that's been a lightning rod topic since people have gotten to the fight.

Only had 1 wipe, it was not that bad. People need to do two things:

1. Communicate.
2. Learn from mistakes and adapt.

One shotted it, but I did watch a video to get an idea. Yeah, you gotta pay attention in this fight way more than Susano, placing those cross aoe's and puddles is crucial and I've seen folks not even try and that makes it hard on everyone.

Check his Lodestone for more contradictions. Pretty sure it's a troll.

I see your point and agree with it.
However... Now that I think about it, it would have felt very satisfying if the Zenos fight would have been a solo duty where we pretty much beat him to pulp. I mean, warrior of light, slayer of primals and dragons, gets beaten multiple times by a pompous long-haired dude. That final payback @lvl 70 would have been epic if we could have just given him the Hulk meets Loki -treatment.

I'm pretty sure that he was Resonant the entire time, and he had the Ame-no-Murakumo for the second and third fights. Elidibus referred to him as "a valuable test subject," so he was at least somehow superhuman from the first.

The Lodestone is is a double-edged sword, though:

People screw with alts from time to time and are anal enough not to post on their mains cause they don't want to be bothered and judged by it.

So while I look and see that he has 69 classes and it could be his main, I tend to be less judgemental about the Lodestone stuff.

I smell out BS on forums a lot easier by just looking into their history. First time poster, didn't register since 2017....whole lot of red flags, honestly.

Using an alt is also a red flag, in my opinion. They hide "themselves" for the purpose of trolling. In this case, it was a "throw a stone and run" kind of post, knowing how the community reacts to this type of requests. On the other hand, it serves a positive purpose, to let SE know how people enjoy "harder" content, as it's the general opinion about it.

Bingo.

There's multiple ways of noticing just who's a shitposter and who's legit.

This is a shitposter. First reaction I have on these forums is literally scour the thread and see if the user posted back. THEN, if it does, I start looking to see if they wanna keep just pushing buttons. People who log on, post one thing, then never reply: Shitposts. Essentially.

Some of these big fights need to let you pull the camera out further. I mean what's the point creating these big bosses if you can't fully see them

You can adjust the camera angle in settings. By default the camera is set so your character is in the middle of the screen when fully zoomed out. I have mine set so she's about a quarter nearer the bottom of the screen. Giving me better views of what's ahead.
