Patch notes up

-snip-

This is a problem with the community, not the fight itself. No one has the patience to do anything, and rage quits the moment anything goes awry.

Look, I'm not going to sit here and say that there aren't people out there that drool on their keyboard, mash buttons, and gasp every time they see those pretty big numbers pop up on their screen but Steps is a fight that requires teamwork, communication and coordination. It is not a fight that you can just go in, faceroll/get carried, and one shot it like every other thing in this game.

When was the last time we had a fight that actually required this from the community that wasn't related to Coil or Extreme Primals? The Chrysalis was a step in the right direction, but Steps took it even further. Its not a hard fight. Its just that combined with the "skill" level of most players, and the lack of patience from others, is the reason why Steps has such a low success rate in the Duty Finder. It has nothing to do with the fight itself.

The only thing Steps needs is a "Surrender" command that, if the majority agrees like Vote Abandon/Kick, will reset the fight so you don't have to sit through five minutes of a failed run until Vishap destroys the last ward.

would like one more set of snares but yeah if your overgeared you can probably solo it lol

The lack of removal killed my vibe. I just want to get all my classes crit built for pvp dangit.

That's five hours worth, though? A five-hour maint for THAT?

They secretly add patch per patch for Heavensward shh.

Of course not. i'm sure they also did hardware maintenance together with the patch upload.

I'm not sure if you've ever used the duty finder on that fight, but literally nobody listens. I explain roles, and what to do for every class to make things easy, and it's still absolute chaos. I don't even touch trial roulette anymore thanks to that garbage, I farm my poetics from FCoB, since apparently that is easier to clear.

Would you also call CT1 as difficult?
Things can get messy there too, if enough don't listen and try to ignore every mechanic. Like killing the dragon while the skeletons are still alive.
This week I was in an Alliance that wiped 3 times at Atomos.

Not sure you understand the meaning of the word "literally"...

Wow.

You do realize that by helping people clear and learn content you can identify good players this way who will, in-turn appreciate you helping them. Then you actually make a friend! omg! Then after doing this for awhile you will be able to make friends with many other good players!!! Then, then, you will have a social connection of players who CAN handle the content you want to fight.

Unless you were only referring to duty finder, then my example is not applicable. I only consider it a waste of time if people aren't listening. Like I made a real effort to duty finder T9 and try to help people by teaching them and talking to them and after the same guy got killed to dynamo for 9 pulls and people DPS wasn't pushing hard enough on phases 1 and 2, meteors were being stacked consistently and over 45 minutes of my time was being completely wasted on no one improving at all, it was clear that I was wasting my time so I left lol. But then Mono's example would make sense because in duty finder you can't even add a good performing player to your friends list so meh.

I can understand people's complaints about time wasted in duty finder. Maybe you'll get lucky and have that one group who listens. The groups I tend to get are full of anti-social mutes who never say anything no matter what you say to them. You are speaking advice and you always get those few people who aren't listening. You call them out and ask them why they didn't do what they were supposed to do and they still say nothing then proceed to mess up some more... Finally you have to RAGE at them rudely before they just say "Sry" ...

Seriously that happens to me more often than you think it's awful =/ So now a days if I queue something that isn't tank and spank and I offer advice and we wipe 2 times, no one owns up to their mistakes and, upon repeating my advice, people are still messing up. I leave and take penalty.

lmao have fun trying to complete fxob in duty finder. Let me know how that turns out for you.

[NorthernLadMSP]

LOL to all the people that think 10% echo is going to be just "what we need" to finally kill bahamut...

You are going to still have to learn the dance (well whats left of it since the Shadow of Meracydia got removed but still), there is quite a bit of dance left to learn....

Just like people said about turn 9. "Oh boy, now even I can kill it nao" Sorry...yes its much easier, but not enough that you can just cheese it on your first try... (that's still a few patches away to be sure)

Wow, nice post there. It's always nice to read condescending posts first thing in the morning.

[Maero]

But again no drop rate increase for nightmare mount
Echo to fcob, i think we all knew it was coming but it is sad that se feel the need to always do this...
Also would of been nice to have a poetic increase or something
