Delubrum Reginae Savage groups - way too exclusive and toxic

[TaleraRistain]

I can get the point of not wanting to have to rely on third party tools to organize in the game, but what could SE change? They can't stop people from using Discord. I don't do Bozja so I haven't experienced it. Is it not in Raid Finder/Duty Finder? I suppose that is one place they could put it if it's not an option, so people could attempt PuGs. People who wanted to group by Discord still could.

The normal version is done through the normal matchmaking process (not through the duty finder, but essentially yeah that's how it works). Savage not so much. The savage version of DR has to be formed and organized before anyone steps foot in Bozja. It's only done with pre-formed parties, no matchmaking (not even raid finder).

Given all that and the fact that it's 24 people... not using some kind of software to help organize would be a little nuts.

Not completely outside the realm of possibility. That's how we did it in EQ with 72 people, but that was a game very focused on your guild or your raid alliance. XIV even with FCs doesn't have nearly that focus. But I don't see why they couldn't just toss the matchmaking option out there for those who want to try it. Just say they won't modify the difficulty for any reason and people matchmake at their own risk.

DR Savage was made for one purpose and that is the no lifers in the game to have a place to bash their heads against pretty hard bosses. It is their playground and that is just how an MMO works. Expect rampant use of ACT and other apps with extreme elitism because that is the point of it.

They got screwed out of their Ultimate so this was the consolation prize.

What are you talking about? DRS is casual content. The difficulty was at best EX level which is what casuals do.

The fight is so casual there's not even a ranking for it on "that" site. Even Extremes have a leadboard!

It's clear that DRS is aimed at casuals, especially when it's behind a casual wall. There's nothing remotely difficult about the fight except for the logistics.

lol MPK you troll these poor folks too much. Although it's true that DRS is nowhere near as difficult as Puremallace is making it out to be, the reason that there are no rankings for it on "that site" apparently has more to do with it being unable to accurately calculate damage in light of all of the actions and stuff being used (there actually were rankings for a short while for DRS on "that site," but they reportedly got taken down because of how wonky the calculations were).

^^ Pretty much this.


Anyway,

I'm on Primal Server looking for a Progression group.
I have fully augmented Bozjan gear and an understanding of the Savage Raid.
Thanks.

They could, they just didn't. Could also be because of the weird nature of lost actions and party makeup in there.

As for "we used to do it in EQ" yeah... we used to travel long distances by riding horses too. Most of us don't do that anymore. Is it still a valid way to travel? Sure. Are there better ways? Yep.

Well here's some news regarding DR savage. Soon new lost actions and higher resistance rank(which will let you bring in more actions) will help with the fights and also not needing to queue with a full 48 man group, though this will have its downsides (ala no lb3 for a guarantee raise) and the deaths will definitely hurt more in terms of overall dps.

Hey @everyone just wanted to say CONGRATULATIONS (DRS was harder on February 2nd) on the DELUBRUM REGINAE (SAVAGE) (it was harder on February 2nd) CLEAR. I know you've been working really hard (DRS used to be harder) at it, and I'm happy that you've (DRS used to be harder) achieved your goal of completion. I know your journey through (DRS used to be even harder) the content was filled with ups and downs, but you and (DRS used to be harder) your group stuck (DRS used to be harder)together through them all, and you were rewarded for your patience and (DRS used to be harder) tenacity. Congratulations (DRS used to be so much harder) once again, and here's to more success in your future (DRS used to be harder) endeavors!

Actually, DRS was briefly ranked on that site. They removed it due to the sheer inconsistency of logs. Between the huge variety of actions, Essences and buffs, numbers were all over the place and not in any way a accurate reflection of job performance. There were also issues with DoTs not being counted, thus jobs like SMN and BRD will hilariously broken.

All in all, it had absolutely nothing to do with the difficult level. Which is closer to entry level Savage than current EX Primals. It's decidedly for midcore not casual if only due to sheer amount of coordination and punishment for failing mechanics.
