Who all beat Red Chocobo Ex? (possible spoilers)

[Talraen]

I died twice to choco meteors that I was definitely nowhere near the target circle for, presumably due to increased lag from how many people were around. Either that, or there was a non-targeted version of choco meteor or I couldn't see other people's tells or something. It was annoying, but some good samaritan raised me the second time and I was able to move on with my life.

All that said, still less deadly than encountering a group of red chocobos in actual Final Fantasy Tactics, so it's not exactly out of line.

I didn't even know people where having trouble with this. When I did it, there must have been like 5-6 other people there. Guess I did the right thing by going after the new alliance raid first.

I then tried doing the story, and decided to take a break right at the tea part. Which I then heard was another part people were having trouble with.

I died once, which is surprising. I wish more mobs were as dangerous as that encounter with a red chocobo.

I thought this was great, I had no problem doing it just used WHM and choco, sleep, DoT kited around. Was nice to have to use some tactics to get a quest done, usually just a faceroll.

Personally, It was the most fun thing of this patch to me.
I died a couple of times, until I figured it out, and then it was easy.
I was impresses by how much the Red Chocobo's HP was, it's so high!
That was a good laugh time over the chaos, haha

thou I have yet to do it (or even start the quest chain for it... or finish new MSQ, low on time for Patch day) I did see it & my only thought was "What the F@$k!" then "Why so many!", luckly Shout explained it to me, with my final relpy being "o.O okay... -_-! now it makes sence". Internially dreading getting that far quest wise later but hopefully there will be less ppl by then

If there were enough players and chocobos out the game could start object culling. The algorithm isn't very good so it could cull your target as well as anything else. Once an object is culled you won't see its AoE markers or its movement but you can sure die from them.

Died in seconds as white mage, Switched to warrior and managed it.

I really don't see why so many people are struggling with this =s

I just tagged my two with Aero, pulled them clear towards the dock and just nibbled them away between myself and my chocobo in DPS stance. I didn't get hit once and frankly it wasn't that hard to avoid placing meteors on my companion either.

Just don't be greedy with the AoE and ensure you pull your mobs away from the carnage and it's a piece of cake.

If you were on balmungs then you'll see the issues. LOADS of red chocobos and yours not loading and DEATH. So much death. It was great and maddening lol. So many falling stars mommy.
