EU Tanks Come to NA, Listen Once, and Outperform NA Tanks Instantly

[os12ispeak]

I’m sorry, but the difference between NA and EU tank mentality is actually insane. You see it the moment an EU tank steps onto NA servers.

We had this EU Paladin, playing on NA, doing DSR with us. They weren’t familiar with every timing, so I gave them a few key instructions:

“Use Divine Veil AFTER the 2nd hit of Wroth Flames — that’s where the heal + shield gives max value.”

“Use Holy Sheltron for EVERY auto in Phase 7, including the healer autos.”

“Use Divine Veil after the FIRST hit of Gigaflare — you get the heal immediately AND the shields for the second hit.”

And you know what they said?

‘Okay.’

That’s it. No arguing. No attitude. No NA-style meltdown about “backseating.”
Just listening, applying the information, and playing correctly.

And because they actually listened?

We cleared after seeing Phase 7 only twice.
That’s it. Two looks at the phase before the clear.

Why? Because their mitigation was perfect from pull one:

✔️ Divine Veil after the first Gigaflare hit
→ Heal + shield for the 2nd hit
→ Maximum value, zero drama.

✔️ Divine Veil after the 2nd hit of Wroth Flames
→ Proper timing, party stabilized instantly.

✔️ Holy Sheltron on EVERY Phase 7 auto
→ Tank autos and healer autos covered.
→ Zero panic. Zero HP rollercoasters.

✔️ They never argued.
✔️ They never complained.
✔️ They adjusted instantly and executed cleanly.

Meanwhile, NA tanks will literally:

Eat autos raw

Use cooldowns before damage happens

Forget personals entirely

Get defensive when corrected

And then blame everyone else

That EU Paladin walked into NA territory, listened to advice once, and helped clear the hardest fight in the game after only two Phase 7 attempts.

The issue isn’t the fight.
It’s not the difficulty.
It’s not the mechanics.
It’s the NA ego.

If one EU player can show up, listen, and clear with almost no exposure to the phase, then NA players have no excuse for the constant resistance to basic, correct mitigation usage.

So, wait, if EU players were also argumentative, ate autos raw, blamed everyone else, etc etc, then does that mean NA players WOULD have an excuse?

[yesnt]

It’s the NA ego.

If one EU player

So you met one person from EU and think everyone is like that?
I don't know how bad it is on NA, but rest assured there are jerks on EU too.

[Heavenchild]

I am from EU and everytime I played roulette on NA it was...an 'experience'. :')

People are often more funny! That's good! But they also often play much worse and have not our rules.

For example the A(dds), B(elly), C(hain) rule for the Cerberus in Crystal Tower. At least I never saw people doing it.

But I have to disappoint you. We have very toxic people here, too. You just where lucky to meet a friendly one. : )

If one guy can represent EU, can I pick one guy to represent NA?

If one guy can represent EU, can I pick one guy to represent NA?

If you can find one without chronic main character syndrome. NA is a large continent after all.

I don't know how bad it is on NA, but rest assured there are jerks on EU too.

The region I play on is a hellhole. The regions I don't play on are utopian.

[NegativeS]

NA is a large continent after all.

...Europe isn't?

[TBerry]

...Europe isn't?

You missed the punchline. Though I don't blame you for that, because it's not something people would immediately think of.

The punchline is American using "it's a big country" as an answer whenever they defend their US centrism

[Themarvin]

It is pretty spot on... we listen to critics and pointers and try and work from those criteria..... in general NA it is much alike you don't pay my subscription or whatever...

If can learn something new, if can provide information and whatever have an open mind, it is a role playing game after all.

But it is not all that is like that in the EU either, but as we are many cultures most of us know the importance of trying to fit in and not to step on anyone's toes, NA could learn a lot from that... JP servers is very much like that as well with trying and then succeeding and finally on top on that learning something.
