The constant disbanding of Steps of Faith

[Wildsprite]

No, because if you have common sense, and coordination, they are easy to avoid.

Guess there's a lot of people playing this game that don't have it then, by your standards.

there are quite a lot of people who are either not very coordinated have no conmon sense or just don't give a damn so they don't care to learn so yeah there are quite a lot of people who are this way. and they very much outnumber the people who are coordinated, have common sense and give a damn.

also, if you could stop doing partial quotes that remove the player you are quoting that would be great.(see fixed it for you)

I also don't get why Cape Westwind is in Trials and not Main Scenario

originally it was. but it was moved to trials for reasons not made clear.

You can't move it to main scenario how would that work? Main scenario is ilvl50? This is 90.

why couldn't it main scenario is 8 man lvl50 and nothing says it can't go above that only that its content is lvl50 and above

That's brilliant, in the cutscene a piano falls from the sky killing vishap!

how about the Dragon Killers launch Giant Fat Chocobos that take half of Vishap's health? :P

Chains of Promethia. Yea. us XI players never had challenging content to get through our story mode... :P

oh good ole chains, good story however I saw most the content of it as a "we aren't sure how to create a real challenge for you so here have level locked content that nerfs you and see how you do with that" and that bothered me a lot and it was if anyone paid attention more proof that the producer and most of the devs didn't actually play XI.

Really? I looked at it different.

It was level locked to help people who were leveling be able to experience the expansion. At level 30, you could do the first set of dungouns offered by the expansion. 40, the second, 50, the third, 60, the fourth, and then uncapped. It was a -great- system because I met some good palyers who were "Only level 30 in X job" who could go to Promyvion with us and help us clear.

It enabled a LOT of good players to be able to participate in things they wouldnt' get to see until level cap - like FFXIV is right now. There's the "Main story" sure, but that mostly caps out at 50 with all end-game content.

That's so terribly obvious it shouldn't need to be said. Think of how many people would ditch CM/prae when there's a 3rd option which takes about 1 minute to do.

The same reasoning should apply here; the time involved in Cape Westwind matches that of a trial, so it was moved there.

The time involved in training a party to get thru Steps of Faith is more in line with MSQ roulette, so it should be moved there.

I actually agree with this, on the condition that they still add resets.
The MSQ roulette only has like 2 things on it, so it's less a roulette and more a coin flip. Adding Steps would be nice.

No, you didn't. Seriously, my first win, we had 2 dps on cannons the whole damn fight, me (Monk) and a dragoon, one of us with Zeta and the better geared of the lot. The cannons and dragon killers landing every single hit on vishaps feet will do well over 70% of the damage needed, the rest coming in from short bursts between each gate and the LB 3 you should have nearer the end.

Even perfectly executed, that's still a huge chunk of damage you have to do without mechanics, so I fail to see how you're refuting my point.

As for "one shot mechanics" none exist. Stand under his feet and you will die if under so much HP, but what the hell do you expect.

Body Slam = 1 shot to non-tanks
Sidewise Swipe = even if you dodge this, you can still get 1 shot by an exploding cannon
someone shoots 2nd/3rd dragonkiller at wrong time = whoops, you just killed your party

Uhh, yeah, there are 1 shot mechanics here.

Did you just equate misfiring DKs to a one shot mechanic? O.o

[Fynlar]

Yes, when Vishap goes into the air to dodge it and crashes back down, I have been killed from full HP as a result of that.

That isn't a one shot mechanic -____- Just because an attack has the possibility of bringing you from full HP to zero doesn't make it a 1 shot mechanic.

Wait? What? O.o If something can kill you with one shot from full health, how is that not a one shot mechanic?

EDIT: I read all the posts and it seems that you argue that "something that has the potential to one shot" and "Something that has a 100% chance of killing you" are two different things. While this is true, it is also true that the end effect is the same. You were at 100% health, took one hit, and then where at 0% health. They both are one shot mechanics.
