    The constant disbanding of Steps of Faith

    Upon entering the Daily Roulette Trials and getting Steps of Faith, people almost always leave.

    Something must be done, SE.

    People are stuck in the story and can't progress due to people unwilling to do the fight.

    Now, I myself have already beaten it, but I am concerned with those stuck and restricted from progress due to, what I just said, people unwilling to stay and do the fight.

    i can't help but think the fight would be infinitely more doable if it weren't for the turtle...
    But then again, people just want to faceroll everything, and SoF requires actual effort and coordination

    Ask your FC to help ^^. The only way I managed to get it down was to go tank and be the one to bring the little guys into cannon range. I don't mind helping people do this, but there are a lot of unhelpful people in the DF >.>.

    I have beaten it already, as I stated in the first post. I'm concerned with those who haven't, and that the fight is required(?) for reaching Heavensward.

    I think the biggest deterrent for repeat clears is the fight is on rails and doesn't reset until it's run its course even if it's a clear failure. "Missed a Dragonkiller shot for any reason? Whoops. Too bad for you. Now sit there and watch the fight slowly progress towards failure for another 10 minutes before you're allowed to try again."

    With this character's death, the thread of prophecy remains intact.

    It's rather sad how this fight always has at least one person drop. It's a long fight if it fails, and the mechanics of the fight can not be ignored at all. Cannons always need to be firing on adds (and on boss if the tanks can position the adds well), adds need to be taken out quickly, cannoneers need to snare, Dragon Killers need to hit all times... So many things can go wrong, and usually something does go wrong the first try.

    I stick around to do the fight most of the time, but when 3+ people immediately drop before the barrier even disappears it's kind of hard not to want to just abandon ship. I wish people would stick around to help the new people, if any, but it's becoming rare for that to happen I think. The fight just takes too much time because it does not reset on wipe.

    I'm glad I did the fight on my main and alt within the first week of the patch coming out, it sucks how people just quit before even starting the fight.

    Just had the worst Steps of Faith experience

    First thing I ask when we start duty: who's new, who's on cannons, who's on missiles

    Only reply I get is "just go push buttons"

    Abandon was finally passed at the 12 minutes mark. Never got anywhere close to a kill.
    No one spoke up beside me, other than to just tell me to shut it.

    Really impressed that no one quit and I sure wasn't gonna give them the free pass myself while taking a penalty.

    Ask for FC or friends to tag along, make a PF for it. There's bound to be a plenty of other people willing to tag along with you. Playing it on DF is a game of chance, since you're bound to get crybabies who don't want to handle even the simplest mechanics and instead project the blame to the party members/devs.
