why does odin still not work?

[Azurymber]

I just spent an entire odin fight (from the start) going all-out as a bard, hitting it, even taking damage a few times, and i got completion, 29 serpent seals and 10 gil, no mantle.

I was in a party with others who were also there from start and some only got bronze, others got nothing as well.

A bunch of people also mass dc'd halfway through

So what's the deal? It's been over half a year. Why is it so hard to get one single fight to work properly? I thought this was supposed to be fixed multiple patches ago.

Bronze gets you no mantle. Silver gets you 1 and gold gets you 5.

For me, the number one problem I have with Odin is not getting disconnected. If you get d/c during the fight, don't expect to be able to return due to server queue or it being full.

[Lee-Akira]

I can't say I feel your pain, since I already got everything from Odin plus I have several mantles just for the heck of it, but your party is probably not doing much in the fight, do you have healers? Tanks?

[Azurymber]

half my team dc/d, hence the problem

This fight works fine and has various mechanics that normal fates don't have. It takes in effect how often you and your party members die, lowering the score in the progress. If you zone or disconnect, your score is wiped and thus no longer being added to your party score. and last but not last as a party you need to do a certain % of damage in that fate.

Odin and Behemoth are too weak and die too fast to even bother attempting to gather a party then look for them and then to actually get enough credit for gold.

That WAS the case til the patch altered their nature.

Also, your party being able to 1 bar lb practically locks in at least silver. 2 bar is almost enough to gurantee gold.

Consider what the pt is doing poorly to improve the lb bar gains and help your gold odds.

I'm inclined to agree with the OP. It's not only frustrating how the score mechanics work, but also the lag which makes you unable to target party members. I've had people remain dead on the ground because the healers literally could not target them.

Again, when was your last odin experience? I have not experienced any of these issues since 2.2

I only did Odin once a few weeks ago, despite the lag and tons of death we still managed to get gold. There has to be someone or many in your party who weren't pulling their weight.
