To Blue Garter and Who is really Hardcore on endgame content

[Billzey]

Wait what? How can you possibly be selfish enough to enter something like ifrit EM (perhaps as a healer) without having watched a video? Looking up the strategy for fights ahead of time is common sense. People have been doing it for years. Asking for the entire player base to be gimped b/c you have some weird fetish with entering the fights for the first time is simply inane.

And I hate after when someone fall off from titan ex with Upheaval ask: "Why i'm gone down? I was near GAOL..... "

Just Why? Why? Why the hell you watch the video and just "Ditto" the fight and even far away don't know the "Why"... This is What I really hate, because people (not all of course) don't understand the gimmicks but just repeat What they see...

I agree with this a lot. Lots of players seem willfully blind to the mechanics.

How could you be selfish enough to click the duty finder and expect everyone to cater to you.

You click that duty finder button and your accepting that not everyone may agree with your accepted way of thinking. That is the same for people who don't want to research fights before going in, expect resistance.

But you know screw getting to know people and having a community right guys? I mean we can always just roll the dice with random people and get mad when they don't agree with us!

If you want to explore and figure out content yourself that's called progression gameplay, you do that by joining a progression group and being on the cutting edge. Alternatively you can find other like-minded people and make your own group well after content has been cleared. I personally love doing it myself.

It's like climbing a mountain, the first people to do it have to be the ones that figure out the route. There's no set paths, and you don't know what's ahead. But fast forward many years when the mountain has long been conquered and there's tour guides leading groups up on paths well tread. You don't tell those groups hey stop following guides, we should figure it out for ourselves and re-invent the wheel. You're in the wrong group to be doing that, you needed to be one of the pioneers.

Figuring out the fights is the hard part. The moment you know what you're supposed to do, it's simply a matter of following the instructions and repeating the movements ad nauseam. Do people really enjoy that? .__.; I've never understood why. Guides can be useful if you're stuck on a piece of content you can't figure out, but to consider them de rigueur? It's a bit like buying a sliding puzzle and before even opening it and giving it a try - looking up all of the moves...

Please BlueGarter & Who can close content first don't post strategy or video "How To" for patch 2.2+ (T6-9, Leviathan, ecc. ecc.)

So you're asking the entire endgame community not to release any videos or strategies until you have personally beaten it? Considering you only downed Twintania three weeks ago and many groups killed her in October, good luck with that.

Execution is pretty hard for most. Give everyone the rotation to Titan Ex and still many will fail over and over again. Either way you're repeating the same thing over and over.


Players got to understand FCs like Blue Gatr are hardcore while the rest of the player base that wants to do what they do will take months to do if they didn't read guides or watch videos. Which judging by how todays gamer hate having to work towards getting items, simply won't work.

Make a video that just says "Pay for a real PC and top tier broadband"

Being a PS3 player on a 10 meg connection without a SSD, I found myself laughing and crying at the same time. But really, that's pretty much all it takes to be successful in this game.

Sure self-explore is fun, but what's the point? Aside from self-satisfaction and bragging rights, I don't see any benefits at all.
