The Ifrit Fight is Dangerous to the Community.

You know you can make a female character look very attractive and comely, but after you learn more about it, she can be very downright bone-chilling, right? It's just a matter of finding the right levers to pull in the process.

Like, say, having her look like one who would bed you in an instant, but turns out to be a man-eater (literally).

You are a strange person.

You are a strange person.

Being strange is pretty much a requisite for outside-the-box creativity.

So, thank you for the compliment.

I honestly see nothing strange about that, since that's actually prominent in a lot of western styled horror or even demon type stories, i.e Succubi/Incubi.

I believe it's spelled "Ass Burgers" & I hear they're delicious.

Are you suggesting people who created the Aliens franchise, along with every other creative IP that has proven to be pioneering in their respective genre, are people with Asperger's?

I think that is incredibly rude.

I hope this thread gets closed soon.

That's exactly what he meant. I think this proves the point that.... you are strange.

I agree the Ifrit fight is a big mistake in the way it was implemented. Hopefully it will be changed in the next patch, because as of now its ridiculous.

1. Many classes stuck in overly long WS animations that make it too hard or near impossible to get out of range of Ifrits abilities.

2. Server Lag issues which are causing a large chunk of the issues. One moment I will be directly in line with Ifrits shoulder dash and take 0 damage, or right in the center of a lava pool and take 0 damage or right in the middle of a triple crack explosion and take 0 damage. Other times I will be several body lengths out of range of all these abilities and get hit. This needs to be addressed.

3. LNC becoming the default DD of choice. Congratulations on making the Darkhold mistake for the second time SE. /Golfclap. While it may be less of an issue for me because I have a LNC at 50 there are those who dont and have Archer, Pug and MRD are feeling left out. Yes there are parties that are not only trying it with this setup but those are much fewer than you would like to think. Once you add in Issues 1 & 2 into the mix I can't blame people for just wanting the lancer setup, at least it gives you fair odds when your dealing with lag that should have been fixed a year ago and all the damn animation locks.

4. Sentinel. Ahh yes now we have groups requiring people have Sentinel, fun times. Why work on figuring out how to take take multiple spikes out when we can just use Sentinel? What you don't have Sentinel? LOLZ GOODBYE N00B! (No one should have to feel the need to level a class for a single ability for one battle, its sours people on GLA in general)

Also we don't need scaling.. IMO once these issues are fixed we will be fine with fighting Ifrit.

I am sure there will be plenty of Find a good end game linkshell comments... Join like minded people! Blah blah friggin blah. Even people who are your friends and in the same linkshell will eventually fall into this routine, not because they are bad people, but because after awhile being screwed over for the umpteeth time over stuff that should not be causing an issue is frustrating.

The community should not have to adjust their playing to poorly implemented battle routines and bad optimization. The devs need to spend their time fixing this asap. Fix the problem, no community band-aid solutions.

Hey blatant bigotry on something I don't understand is cool guys! /sarcasm
