Order of the Blue Garter Twintania Down (No Exploits)

[Liander]

I would say those who want to put in the time to ironing out the execution of the dance and the last phase shouldn't have much trouble downing her tomorrow. That's the nature of knowledge.

Soooo... everyone will clear it tomorrow?

I think that now that there is proof that is has been beaten and there is a blueprint we will see a high number of linkshells clearing it by the end of the week. Now that we know the key to the twister it is only a matter of hammering it out and getting through the last phase for so many free companies. I think a big problem was that trying to figure out the mechanic itself destroyed the morale of most free companies and they weren't even trying the fight on a regular basis. So in that respect, while the video may be a step by step guide that needs to be followed, it is even more so proof that the fight can actually be beaten and will cause many people to actually start logging in to play on a regular basis again until the fight is downed. Unfortunately, I think that most of those people are probably going to end up only logging in on mondays again in 2 weeks time. Regardless, well done on the fight. That twister feels like a punch in the gut to anyone that complained about the new control scheme in 2.0 and begged for legacy controls back.

Imo from the looks of the video it just seems random on Twisters and the way to avoid Divebombs is probably not ment to be done like that, just like people glitch out Chimera to avoid having to deal with some of the mechanics. Congratulations on the kill.

They say that they can dodge 80%-90% of them, that probably means that the mechanic is not working properly or they dont really know how to avoid it. Makes no sense to have a mechanic that will always end up killing someone.

Agreed. That part I just don't really understand.

I'm pretty sure they've clearly tried to Silence/Stun it so I can't imagine what any other way would be to stop it.

It's possible that there is a way to dodge the twisters with 100% success that is different from the way BG is dealing with them.
It's also possible that SE only tested the boss on local machines with 0 latency and that the terrible netcode is causing RNG deaths.

Compare the boss behaviour in two vids and it's pretty clear it is. :P I would assume it has something to do with the tank DCing in the middle of fight (off tank pulls hate, then DC's and comes back and boss won't use any special abilities after that)? Not familiar with the fight or its bugs myself.

I wonder what I would have to do as a Summoner to make sure my pet doesn't get DEMOLISHED on that last phase... I guess put it somewhere away from everyone else?

[Avalon_Albrook]

The nerdgasming is utterly adorable. I admit, I'm all kinds of jelly. Congrats on this from those of us on Siren just about to finally start Coil, now content with the knowledge that there is hope for T5.

Congratulations, BG. It's kind of funny how easy the fight looks when a strategy is executed to near perfection. Well deserved world first.
