The problem with allowing Turn 2 Rage strat

[Axlle10]

Please do not let anyone play in a way that is different to the way I think that they should play. Please ensure that there is only one way to complete an instance (my way), and make sure there are heavy penalties for anyone that attempts to deviate from my way of thinking. For the love of god and all that is holy, DO NOT let people think outside the box. If this is allowed to continue, then it's not just the future of the game that is in jeopardy, but our children's, and our children's children.

lol, ikr. Anyone who has ever thought of an easier way to do something should be shot dead where they stand! Harder is always better! harder means only the die-hards will ever win. casual gamers should never get anywhere in any mmo. they are just a leeche on the system! FIGHT THE POWER! -end sarcasm. i lol at this thread. So you are saying that people should not use any other mechanic other than the one that you think is right? get a grip dude.

There are really people defending this crap? You go to the last dungeon and want a free win? You people are pathetic.

SE are defending it too by not calling it an exploit.

ADS in turn two is open to how you want to handle mechanics, Kill all the nodes and just have haste. Or do as a HP and healer check with enrage method. It's a viable way to kill it confirmed by SE. So how is it pathetic? Whining about how players kill a boss within allowed paramaters and design is pathetic. Done both ways and dont find either way any harder than the other.

Rot, pass it down the line once and then huddle together so it takes care of itself, REALLY difficult. Not.

And yet they also called Dark Devices a working as intended and not an exploit, yet they FIXED that one. Then they state they never made any adjustments to it at all, AND to submit bug reports... Yeaaaa we can all trust SE to let us know something is an exploit or not... Only reason turn 5 and Titan were addressed so quickly was because it caused an actual game break, Titan caused people to easily get their relics and progress, and Turn 5 well that was end game lol you beat that with the exploit and the game is finished.

The enrage method IS an exploit, but it's not game breaking, just like Dark Devices, and VARIOUS other exploits (remember the AK exploit that was another working as intended, but was patched a couple of weeks later?). If it was game breaking they would address it immediately, but since it's not.. all that will happen is when they do correct it with a hidden fix(because they won't announce they fixed it) and suddenly people can not get past turn 2 even though those same people have been working turn 5, I'm just going to laugh, I know some people who actually claim they will quit the game if they fix this.

Oh and look at the forum posting EXPLOIT, you make a post and have a 1000 character liimit, yet you can edit your post and have no limit? Hmmmm exploit.

Pretty sure the "legit" way is still a free win.

It's insanely easy.

Why is this here?

Why is this here?

Because the topic obviously deserves some discussion and the so called "strat" isn't all that legit as some people try to convince themselves. The fact alone, that there's a thread with 27 pages of discussion shows that this method is more or less a grey zone. If the strat was that legit, no one would even discuss it. Did anyone discuss if doing it the regular way is legit? Can't remember to ever have seen such a topic.

[Moirear]

Enrage strategy is fairly boring. Takes so much longer than not using it and doing it the regular way.

That said, I really don't see the problem in it. It's an easy turn, either way. Passing the Rot, dodging AoEs and tank swapping isn't exactly the height of difficult mechanics in this game. I think it's a comparison of something that is easier to something else that is a bit less easy. Big deal. On top of that, it's actually something that is easier to pass without communication; contrary to your argument that means it's easier to pug your way through turn 2 using the Enrage strat.

The class imbalance argument is also weak. I believe a lot of people who've been playing since release are well-geared enough to do the first 3 turns of Coil on more than one role, being able to slip into 2 or all 3 roles there.

[Ruri]

If people want to take longer for a guaranteed win go for it. If you want to finish it normal in 4-5 mins then do it that way. Who cares?

[Shirai]

Who cares?

Well, the OP aparently thinks it is a big deal.
And there seem to be a couple that think the same as him.

I guess they are in that fortunate position where they don't have to worry about what's actually important.
