Less Memorization - More Reaction? (Trials/Raids/Bosses)

[Alkel]

Like already said, Final Coil has random elements on every turn and its really better than what second coil was (remember the full scripted T9!)

T10 random attack are fun and test player reactions. We have the same thing in teather/bom in T11.

Even T13 test player reaction with megaflare and dives.

Its the way to be and i hope Alexander in 3.0 will not come back to full scripted fight like T9.

Have you tried playing like WoD? People die all the time, it wouldn't be possible in this game when the average player can't dodge anything. I would love it but I don't think the ppl playing this game is good enough for it.
I just did wod and my 4 dps got hit by everything. That describes the average player

If SE wants more reflex-based gameplay, they got to fix up their net code first.

A little early warning for people with consistently high latency would ago a long way.

Either that or have ultra long telegraph times so people can easier dodge.

the net code is fine as it is..
as people like you still didnt recognize that its not the spell animation that hits (for example an explosion)... you get hit by aoe attacks right after the the ground mark disappears..

the animation comes right after and then followed by the actual damage which is actually the one and only "delay"... and people say "oh but i was out of that explosion already, why i did get hit by it?" its more like that every animation has its own duration... the mark on the ground counts, not the actual "animation effect".. same for limit breaks in PVP where the animation delay is very long. the ground mark disappears and the animation of meteor crashes in about 1-3 s later after which you receive the damage. so its more like "animation delay"... mark disappears -> animation -> damage received


and im playing in Europe.. while the servers being located in America... i have no problem at all. when you really watch closely the marks on the ground and watch on the other hand when you get hit and when not... you quickly recognize that there is really no delay concerning the connection..

It's the castbar that matters, not the ground marker, if you are in the AoE when castbar finishes, you will get hit. Only a few abilities in the game work differently (Mortal Gaze in Wod being a good example of one, the animation matters for that one, not the castbar).

Doesn't matter. Player see themselves getting clear of the AoE marker on the ground ... then they eat 3k damage ...

This is not a player problem. This is a bad UI problem.

Maybe they should fix that, since we are running out of the AoE, we will be looking at the ground not the mob's UF!

This! Good examples are behemot meteor or curtain call, you can start running soon as castbar is finished and take no damage.

90 percent of the people in the game cant handle carved in stone boss rotations randomizing would lower the number or raiders even more than it already is. i have no issue if it goes random but the way this game is built just would not support it. combat in 1.0 was slower and capable of using random mechanics

[Kaisha]

The average joe in DF already can't react to fights that have pre-determined scripts.

I wouldn't mind more instances of a fork in the enemy rotation like T10 does in the last phase, but not straight up random choice of attacks the entire run.

[Sayori]

We already got something like this in Stone vigil hard mode, last boss.
I agree with OP, I wouldn't mind seeing more bosses like that.
