The constant disbanding of Steps of Faith

[Seiryuukishi]

Patch notes: Cannons are now NPC operated. Dragon Killer is now NPC operated. Vishap now moves half as fast. Trash mobs are now all Puks.

I LOL'd so hard my nose bled. Dang this dry air O.o'

I did my trial roulette yesterday and got Steps with three first timers to boot. We downed Vishap with one dragon killer left to use on first attempt. Of course we took the time and asked who was new, had previous multiple clears and what everyone thought was the best course of action. It was like watching poetry in motion, so precise, so... right. All because of a little communication and some folks stepping up to do mechanics. If people aren't clearing it, it's because of two things:

1. Either someone or some people can't be bothered to do it right as has been stated multiple times I am sure. You can't zerg through this. Vishap is laughing at your meager attempts to harm him with weapons outside of cannons and dragon killers.
2. There is a miscommunication or no communication at all in regards to what should be done and who is doing it. Of all the trials this requires teamwork. From the tank down to the dps there is a place and time for practically everyone.

In short the disbanding is not because the trial is "hard", it is because people can't be bothered to play as a team. If they can't be the hero of the parser then they don't want anything to do with it most of the time.

You nailed it with the working as a team part. Kinda making assumptions about being a parser hero. Many of those people probably don't even have one.

Thanks for your feedback.

Adjustments to ease the Steps of Faith trial are in the works, and we'll be announcing more information about the how and when soon enough!

Thats kinda disappointing....I liked the challenge that it brings...

It's official. SE now knows they don't have enough of a playerbase yet for Heavensward/3.0 content.

Up till we know what the patch is atleast. Could very well just be an echo buff.

Honestly I don't consider it that hard of a fight, but since it is needed to continue to Heavensward I do see them doing something to make it easier...what exactly I'm not sure since its a mechanic heavy fight and I doubt they will change it to be more in line with the other trials in traditional tanking/dpsing.

..because people other than your circle of friends has a shot at getting into ishgard and not wasting money on an expansion they can't play?

This isn't ONLY about players who are unwilling to learn.

on the contrary, I think it may be. Honestly, if you have the firepower to complete the chrysalis, but are unable to complete the steps as currently constituted, you are doing something wrong.

This is a lesson that "sometimes you need to actually think about what you are doing, instead of assuming the mechanics." I have now done it as all 3 role types in full i90 (including zenith weapons), so its definitely possible.

and each of them were with full DF groups, and we only wiped once, and that was because someone pulled early.

Be a leader. show people how to do it. I made macros to tell people how to do it.
