CHIMERA

[Sknot]

Seriously this is the worst thing i've never got a single time in the fight against Chimera cause this whole LFG thing is really annoying!!

Put duty finder or something on that i waited for like 1 hour asking ''PLD LFG Chimera'' and what hapenned NOTHING!

I can't even progress in the game due to this stupid chimera quest this is ridiculous!
I love the game but can't progress due to people not doing chimera when i'm online or not needing a tank this kinda sucks -_-

Square do something about this like putting a duty finder on this or anything cause this really sucks!

Few questions.
Did you try to form a group yourself ?
At what time did you try to join/form a group ?
example: i'm on a euro server, and on say tuesday morning, it's really quiet in Coerthas. But on friday evening (euro time of course) there's like 6 groups forming at the same time. It took me 6 minutes to find a group for chimera...

Are you only looking in Coerthas? If so you'll probably have better luck in Revenants Toll for all level 50 stuff

[Thunderz]

Welp! I can't make a group

Game is too hard

:/

Yeah, this is a real problem. Done both now, neighter took me too long. Mostly due to luck in finding people pretty soon and being active when searching (i.e. not being afraid to teleport around main cities shouting).

They should really put these on DF. No reason not to do so.

I've managed to put groups together for this many times. I will get as many friends/randoms to commit to helping me (or a friend) as I can, then find another group trying to find people, tell them which of the classes in my group need it, what we have available for them to use, and ask if they will let us join them.

It would be easier if hydra and chimera were next to each other without throwing a dungeon in between them though.

A little BUMP to this thread although i know there were a lot of complaints and defends on this issue in past.

This is my story:
I just transferred to one of the less populated server Yojimbo in JPN group to find out I need to clear this quest in an ancient manner.
I tried player search and shouting for the first two days to realize it's not an effective way,
especially when you speak a minority language in a low population server.
Now I'm just leveling DOL and DOH and hope i can find an english speaking FC or SE will fix this.

Heres a thought...try using your FC, or find an endgame LS

Sorry if this has been suggested already...but I think that in order to keep old content such as this and Hydra alive, and to help out newer people, they should add these (maybe other stuff too?) to the list of additional ways you can earn tombstones after 2.1

It can be sort of like the Guildhests where it checks "1 or more players has not completed this" and if so you earn tombstones. That way people aren't just running hyrdra/chimera nonstop for easy stones - there has to be someone on the quest in order to earn anything. Kinda win-win; people get help, and the helpers get rewarded.

I've managed to do this, but it took several hours of shouting, pleading, begging, and cajoling to get 8 people to do Chimera.

This will just get more and more impossible for new players to finish this quest over time. So many of the serious players did this quest weeks ago and there's no great reason I can see why anyone would want to do it again.
