Randomised/Dynamic fights - can we have 'em?

[Loony_BoB]

Yeah, Hyrist, this is something I hope to see more of, not only. I think there is a place for Titan, but I just feel that every dungeon mob/boss and it's uncle seems to follow a set move list these days. Also, you can be dynamic without having it so that it's so bad luck that you simply can't manage. There will be easy times, there will be hard times, but impossible times would be rare if not non-existant. Personally, I prefer rare... I like the idea that losing can be fun. Sometimes you need even the best players in the world to be able to laugh and go "Holy crap, did you see that? That was insane. Ahahahaha, we would never have made it. That is freaking crazy. xD" I like these moments. One of my favourite moments in my history at FFXIV is when we inadvertently ovepulled a bunch of wolves at the Natalan wolf pit beyond that which we could handle. We struggled for a moment but slowly we all died off, and the last to die was a guy called Mattias. A BLM, he just stood there over our dead bodies with the remaining wolves eating away at him as he repeatedly hit the /laugh emote, and we were all laughing with him. It was funny. "Oops" moments are great if they are rare. It's all about having fun while you win - or lose.

I woul like a scripted party wipe mechanic, where at certain percentage/time interval is triggered and it one member failed is instant party wipe. Should also include a RANDOM single target instant death mechanic if member fail to dodge. Several dodge checks like titan ex. Plums. Basically something like shandra manaya (prenerf). In TERA.

I wouldn't mind having randomized boss fights, actually a fan of not knowing exactly what's coming next, but the only thing that would turn me off to it would be scenarios like posted below:

I want an alliance entering a zone that has randomly spawning FATEs. Clear as many as you can for more rewards. Currency system anyone?

I would love randomized bosses.
Titan Ex:
Mountain Buster
Mountain Buster
Mountain Buster
Mountain Buster
Mountain Buster

i'm assuming they would make it so they couldn't do the same skill twice in a row or tacking on a cool down to each ability.

I would like to see bosses have a bit more randomness to their attack patterns. If they do add more randomness though, they need to get better at telegraphing attacks before they happen - Wicked Wheel in Garuda Ex. is a good example of a very poorly telegraphed ability.
