Turn 9 Meteors

[Ophie-Mio]

The meteors in the first part aren't hard at all. If the super simple method of just doing them 4 feet apart is too complicated for random DF peeps, then do it the old way. One on the ring of the arena, another on the spire circle.

The hardest thing I've found is reminding them to move once the indicator disappears. Too many people think it's like KB's meteor in CT so they just stand around. People also argue about Mario Kart method or the back and forth one. If they disagree, they don't follow the method and wipe the group. Too many whiners that don't want to play nice.


Meteors at the end isn't an issue. How I was always taught that was that it was tank business. A tank (now especially that there's an off tank) should have learned the possible patterns that meteors can go and marked them up with the markers. If people watched the video, then they will know if they ask which marker is the first one to go to. If you don't know, ask. Ask instead of wiping.

Elementals are awful... People still get them wrong even when farming. This is where 99% of groups fail.

Basically, T9 isn't for DF peeps who don't know what they are doing. I'm sick of seeing people saying that "it's too hard for DF" and that they can only do it with a static. That's bs and it's you deciding that something else is at fault rather than you or the current group you're in.

The issue with DF in general is that you get too wide a variety of player in them. You get experienced people and then you're one of those lucky players who gets into a duty only to find the tank or healer that's decided that going in blind was a perfect idea. Yeah, go in blind to T9 and see how far it gets you. Probably the first Ravensbeak.

You're talking about doing a high tier endgame raid with a bunch of randoms of varying degrees of skill and experience whom you'll very likely never meet again. Honestly, do you really expect something to come out of it?

It only gets harder after T9, so if you can't get a group that sticks and gets it done then you're going to have even more trouble later on.

You say this like it's the only instance of such a mechanic in the game. *cough*T5/6/7pre-nerf/8/EXprimals/Atomos*cough*

Lies, T10 is a cakewalk after my static spent week after week on T9. :3

VOIP cures stupid eh? If you have someone in your party that requires constant audio feedback from other players during a CLEAR PARTY (NOT a learning party), I suggest finding a replacement. People are worthless to me in a serious battle if they don't know the mechanics on their own and can't pay attention to the fight and focus on their own. I'm not going on VOIP to babysit lazy / useless people.

Well if you give up so easily on people then you don't deserve a win.
In duty finder at least. Everyone has to work together. A princess is just as unhelpful as a scrub.

I think you completely misunderstood what I was talking about so I'll leave you to your disillusion.

You have to have beaten turn 7 to do turn 9 so they cant be that bad?

I edited my post to clear up the confusion. I was referring to parties that are to CLEAR the content, not for learning. If I'm doing something that is a clear then my expectations is that everyone knows what they are doing. Obviously I'm not oblivious that people need to go through learning periods lol I thought that was implied.

T7 is nerfed to the ground and is now the easiest turn in scob. And...you also do not need it to access later turns.

There's another game i don't remember the name where the punishment for failing a fight mechanic is an aoe which can be easily healed through.
WoW... i wish i could remember the name but that game is perfect for the "everybody is a winner! generation" wow, brain what are you doing!
