Order of the Blue Garter Twintania Down (No Exploits)

[Liander]

While he was a bit over-zealous I think his concern has merit. Being able to have a tank sit in conflag and Twintania do nothing simply 'feels' buggy and wrong. Mechanics definitly should have interaction, like running the fireball in to firestorm extends it's duration. That said I disagree with Yoshi's stance on this use of the mechanic in this way and I feel quite a few others would agree. I doubt anyone who had been attempting twintania for any matter of time had any real problem with BG using it though. But him being 'okay' with this type of interaction paints it in a dim light for future content when 'maybe-bugs' are put in and deemed alright in use.

And for the love of all why does Firestorm / Conflag have two names?

lol

Onolock was wrong right from the start, the majority of the playerbase already knew that he was just being arrogant and naive. Seriously, like 99% of the community already recognised that Turn 5 was legitimately downed, his sole opinion doesn't really make much of an impact.

He did troll pretty well though with heating up the arguments and such.

His concern is never what I took issue with. His attitude was. I went and looked at a great deal of his other recent posts and there's been a common theme. He's consistently condescending, histrionic, arrogant and demeaning, and has been so in this thread. People who are passionate about their points without making asshats out of themselves? They have my respect. Asshats? I relish their "defeat".

Congrats guys!!! Now it has been confirmed ^_^

@Everyone else:
Don't add insult to injury

...

All in all, was fun! Let's see if BG can down it again

While most believe silver medal doesn't count as much as Gold, I believe it still counts a lot! let's see IF anyone else can actually do it :P

im sorry, I'm not complaining. It's just weirds me out a bit. I understand now it's not the same bug as before:

Twintania Phase 2: Hygieia

In the second phase where players must engage the Hygieia, we have received a number of reports that when these enemies are defeated immediately after spawning, or are stunned at the moment they are defeated, on rare occasions these enemies would continue to persist with 0 HP. After a thorough investigation, we've discovered this was a critical bug from release that occurs when stunning an enemy that readies an action just as it's being defeated. You'll be happy to know that this bug has been fixed. I apologize for any trouble this may have caused.

...and despite that, they were able to win including other issues being addressed. I'm not arguing it, I'm just asking incase I end up going in the there and encountering bugs that never showed up before because it seems this game isn't 100%. I mean, are we still BETA testing this game? OMG the maintenances //when I work at night// more maintenance (sigh)

And for the love of all why does Firestorm / Conflag have two names?

The Japanese name for conflagration is firestorm ("ファイヤーストーム").
Happens with loads of spells/abilities/mechanics in FF in the localisation process. Always seemed a bit funny to me considering a lot of the names that get changed are actually English to begin with.

Ah, good info. Thank you. Gave a confused few mins when the tooltip of waxing flesh refered to firestorm but affected conflag.

Not sure if they did, but if they did then it is a feat

I wouldn't say twister is a joke; that is the power of knowledge
If BG didn't release the video, how many countless hours players has to put in before discovering the "right enough" strategy that will grant the win?
The fact is with new boss mechanics, it is trial-and-error approach (perhaps with some educated guesses based on experience and hints).
What BG did is eliminated a major chunk of the effort required, and presented everyone with one path to success. May not be the only one, but at least it is one that is reproducible.

Having said that, it is still an achievement! So congrats ^^

That's funny, what do you think they are going to say?
A. They already have a hard-on for BG because of the guild's history with FF MMOs
B. This fight has been extremely controversial and I bet SE has been praying for ANYONE to down it so they can say "See, it is killable!
They will call this a legit kill.

Called it, didn't expect the nerfbat to twisters though...this fight just got pretty trivial, but definitely still harder than anything else in the game! Grats BG

[Scytale]

Sorry if someone mentioned this already I wasn't going to comb through most of the unnecessary banter here.

After you beat Turn 5, does it reset your coil progress, keep you on Turn 5, or lock you out completely?

Grats on officially being recognized now, hope the hate starts to die down now
