Odin Still Impossible

[GilbertLapine]

So... I thought SE was going to fix this? Since the patch I can actually see Odin, so I guess thats progress (tho not sure if its from my own system upgrade or something SE did), but after having attempted twice this week at killing him I can only get bronze. Got some crazy stuff going on -- server resetting casts after client initiates them, animations happening with no damage registering or stats changing (like triggering transpose's cooldown and seeing the animation but not actually switching from fire to ice stacks).

I mean.. c'mon, what gives? I pounded on Odin from about 80% to the end today in a full party and got bronze. That's kind of ridiculous.

Pretty sure it's not my system or connection, as I just got this computer on Monday, and I have no delay or lag in any other fight (including HM/Ex primals)...

I completely disagree with this, fighting Odin is great for me now, hes about lvl 62 on my server, slowing down how rapidly everyone is killing him, next few kills people should be able to real in golds, he will probably top out at lvl 70.

I'm very glad to hear that things are working out for you. Anything to add concerning my situation? Theres no possible way it's anything on my end, so.. as they say, what the hell? Also, you're the first person to tell me it's great after talking to other people who were at Odin on my server... so good for Behemoth people I guess, I dunno.

Are you kidding me? I see him all the time and he dies in like 2 minutes now lol. If anything, you don't get higher rating cuz others are out DPSing you, etc.

Hm.. yes.. an iLv 85 BLM with a full party banging the hell out of Odin from 80% is rewarded with bronze, surely he must be slow on DPS. I see, your logic is indeed ironclad.

But srsly, you're probably right despite yourself given that, as Sayori says below, the BLM ice/fire stack transitions get lagged into oblivion.

Yeah I gotta agree with this guy, Odin and Behemoth are dying incredibly fast now to the point where instead of not being able to see him the issue is getting there in time to deal enough damage.

But because it can't be said enough, I HATE THAT THESE ARE FATES IT IS SO STUPID.

Still can't target party members.

Be the group with Odin HP bar on red (first group engaging him), throw an LB3, and well, here you got the gold (assuming your group didn't DC, in case all your efforts is gone)
If bar is purple, it's quite rare to see getting gold if you didn't partecipate to the fight form the beginning even not holding him (so far the best i saw was silver using lb3 with purple HP bar fighting from the beginning)

Ye, so far both fates are a pure waste of time , much more nowadays fate parties are kinda dead ( on my server so far noone group for them anymore, Cohertas /mor dhona fates are semi abandoned , noone doing fates)
It adds the senseless when alone the best you get is bronze. Why the hell i have to be on a group using lb3 to hope on a silver/gold? I want gold alone just being lucky to be there. Period.

Also, why we don't get a server message when both are up, isntead of hope someone calls the spawn on shout (i saw people calling it just once on my server while both was up lol ) ? Jee

I'd rather have it be a FATE that everyone can participate in that a NM that only one PT can claim every 36 hours.

It's definitely better than 2.0 version. I am basically guaranteed a silver every time I run it. However, whats annoying is that only one party can get gold and that is the party who lands the finishing blow. So I think one party purposely holds on to their LB and then at the very last second steals the show. If everyone did this the Odin would get Zantetsuken off and everyone will fail the fate. I think its bs and personally they should either increase the silver rewards to 2 or 3 mantles or just give gold to any party who deals a certain amount of damage to Odin regardless of when they enter the fate late or not.

Also I still can't see my party. I see Odin and the people next to him but any healers in my party won't be able to see me (due to range) and thus won't be able to heal me.

[Sayori]

Still having lots of issues with my astral fire/umbral ice during odin yeah. I was hoping they had fixed this

[Tiggy]

All they said they fixed was making sure he was visible. The rest of the problems stem from the fact there are likely over a thousand payers standing in the same area of that zone and the server is struggling to keep it going. They never said they beefed up server capacity in these zones to compensate for the higher player volume so I don't know what everyone was expecting exactly.
