Agreed completely. When I saw the first boss do a left side cleave then a right side cleave I knew this would be too difficult for me. I didn't even bother trying again after my whole party fell to their death after some stupid knock up mechanic, how are we supposed to know when a platform is going to break???? One second I'm in the air, next second everyone is dead. Ridiculous.

I'm not sure if you are being serious, but cells turned red. Red bad. I stayed away from red cells?
For the one where you get knocked in the air I wasn't sure what that was about and stood in the wrong place. I landed on a fractured cell which then broke so I fell and died. This taught me what this mechanic was all about.

It is day 1. People that don't like to do it blind and learn on their own can chill until the guides come out. The rest of us will have fun dying while laughing at ourselves and others for goofing up mechanics. The problem is if you are in the second group and want a guide? At some point the player base loses patience. Week 1 is when the player base is the most patient and understanding I find. But honestly, the ones who want to wait for a guide are sometimes the most toxic with this.

This game is probably just too hard for me, I already have a hard enough time deciphering left and right on the viper job gauge. Flashing red, blue, green, buttons lighting up. I have to move while also clicking the main blue sword skills and those in-between blue sword skills during the blue phase so it's difficult for me to react and click at the same time. I don't remember what cell I landed on, I just know I was in the air and then my whole party died with me, very frustrating so I left after.

I completely disagree that this is too hard for you mainly because I could do it. Maybe it's just too hard with that job. I did the raids first with a job that I'm highly comfortable playing and then did it again with Picto just to see. I died a lot more on picto because i'm not use to it so I'm looking at my UI much more than I did on my MCH.

You will get a yellow beam that knocks you into another cell behind you. You need to move so it doesn't land on a fractured cell since the fractured cell will break when you land. I died to that the first time too. I'm sure many did.

Also, I've been this way even in WoW. I find that the more attention world first raiders etc get, the more insecure some players get about their own abilities. I would urge you to not worry about everyone else - we are all clueless week one and sometimes beyond.

You seem like you are a good person so I need you to take a small step back and realize that Skell is a mad joker doing a bit of a hee haw for comedy in this thread.

Okay sorry for spamming the thread but I just gotta reply here and tell you before it gets worse that this guy is 100% joking and taking the piss. It's either a joke or the lowest hanging bait I've ever seen, and either way it's not serious.

Thank you both for the warning, but you know? If someone sees that message that really does think like them I hope they realize these raids or any other are not something to be fearful of. This is common in a lot of MMO's honestly.

Okay so now bad players are just jokers. Everyone can laugh at us, it's fine. We're so bad, I get it. HAHA!

Thanks for the tip Gortys, I appreciate your kindness. I'll have to try that tonight after I get a new mouse, I think I've worn this one out and now it's doing the infamous Logitech double click making it very annoying to play when I mouse over the wrong skill while attacking.

This has to be troll bate. u literally just stand at the middle, which u should already be doing and take one step, and it snap shots very late gives tons of times compared to savage/ex where the second swipe is almost instant. You even said, you don't even try and then complain. It doesn't work that way if your putting in 0 effort you can't complain. For the knock up The entire thing is telegraphed, it shows u were your going to land, and tells you if it's going to be safe or not. With the very visible line and color of tiles. Just watch other people get hit, nothing else u have to dodge is going on during that time. Also the tiles are broken or not broken already so u can easily preposition, It also always targets support or dps, never a mixture, which is one of the most common ways this game resolves mechanics. We have had similar mechanics in other fights, and is one of the oldest mechanics that dates back to video games dating as far back as snes. I've played every zelda game b4 the 2 switch ones and everyone has this type of puzzle in it, pokemon uses this puzzle type all the time aswell. Even without playing an older game, u learn in the previous mech where she is destroying the floor that 2 hits on a floor destroy it. Some a-hats might expect you get it the first try and if you don't that's ok. But saying a mechanic that tells you how to do it so clearly, and one of the most telegraphed mechs I have seen in the entire game, is a weird take.
