Turn 9 downed in less than one month after release

Considering the amount of fully melded eq they had, skill wasn't the only requiredment. That a lot of Gil to blow in the current market. Heck I don't even think the cap optimizations for melded i90 has been complied yet.

If you have to work 60hrs a week you are doing it wrong anyway and i feel sorry for you. Downing content comes to finding a dedicated group of ppl that works as a team and not 8 individuals of which everyone wants to have the biggest cake. Skill and gear checks come afterwards. It has nothing to do with putting 10 or 40 hrs into the game per week. Of course those with more time will likely success first but stop the hating/jealousy.


Congratulations BG.

And while it seems like a really fast accomplished first time kill, a fight you can win by mastering it's mechanics even though you are comparable weak is always better than a fight which heavily relies on you to have a certain men power just to get on.

Yeah, they're on my server. Always walking around in all the new turn gear. T-T

Pretty sure during october SE were still dealing with cheater on t5

They were, but they also confirmed BG's as a legit kill...

Lets be honest within the next month many many groups will be downing turn 9, there will be will be many with nothing left to do here pretty soon

Grind coil for gear and items to upgrade gear. Gearing yourself up is what MMORPGs are all about.

Ppl should be happy for bg!
While "everyone" else was farming levi ex and the such, bg instead moved on and pushed forward.
No time for silly "levi ex farm, watch vid and know fight plz. 3 strike rule " parties.
Good for them for taking their time with learning the fight and coming up with a kill strat.

If SE wants a proper gear check break point, they need larger raids. None of this 4 boss per Binding Coil nonsense. I'm hoping they improve upon that in the future. A good raid tier needs at least 8 fully fleshed out bosses, with the beef gate point being around 5 bosses in and the last being a true gear and skill check.

The way I see it, T8 was supposed to be the 'gear check', but seems undertuned given the clears. Perhaps the Second Coil is in need of some rebalancing.

Honestly you don't need 8/raid but you do need more fleshed out and actual bosses.
Lets look at coil 1 and see how many actual bosses we got shall we? t1 is a real boss, t2 is a trashmob with a new mechanic (rot) t3 is a benny hill race, t4 is more trash and t5 is an actual boss.
So we got 2.5 real bosses. Wows shortest raids (stuff like hyjal) had more real bosses.

Are people really surprised with the lack of gear check? That first T5 kill video had i70-80 geared folks in it. It's the mechanics that seem not too challenging, which has caused it to be downed so quickly. I see those guys said that they could have downed it few days ago, but had technical issues. So when you consider that, the toughest fight in the game is beat roughly two weeks after release and we're stuck with it for 6 months! Don't worry about other FCs beating it. Once the mechanics get leaked, kills start flowing in which is what will happen now.

You do realise that T5 was off for three weeks because majorly bugged ? would have been killed faster otherwise. Not havin much doubts about how other fcs will catch up, it ll be slow.

Besides I think BG put 10 hours + into progression everyday in new turns. So yeah ^^

Congratulations on that down, totally deserved

[Makado]

Congrats to them on the win. Lots of time invested I'm sure! I do however find it kind of stupid SE would allow Turn 8 (and apparently even Turn 7 from what I have heard) to be able to be solo tanked under a month into release. While I don't like forcing double tanks via tank swap mechanics all the time...idk it just seems weird to me that it can be done already.

guide or didn't happen.
