being new and @ level 50 is killing my interest

[Raikou777]

First of all..why do I need to do level 50 content instead of moving right on to Heavensward content? Why am I collecting tea leaves and other mundane crap for random NPCs after I've saved the world?

Anyways, I just got to the part where I have to fight Good King Moggle Mog (finally something interesting?) but it requires a full raid. Awesome. So I sat in queue for 20 minutes and finally got a party, but they voted to abandon the trial after TWO wipes. WHY? Clearly these people queued because they needed it, so why would they give up AFTER FIVE MINUTES? Especially when we get a stacking buff?? Is this normal for this games community? Now I'm sitting in queue again.

I wouldn't have spent $40 on Heavensward if I knew I'd probably never get to see any of it. :\

Ask your FC to help you power through it as an undersized party.

Shouldn't of gotten the expansion until you finished 2.0 then.
First question is because it expands onto the game...that's why
it is called an expansion... o_o

You wiped at moogle mog XII ?

This is what happens when WHMs and BLMs can't contain themselves and a bunch of Flares/Holys go off within 4 seconds of one another, with the King right in the middle of it. It's pretty much an auto-enrage with that, since I've wiped from that before.

Sadly, yes :/ People ragequit at the simplest things, even tiny mistakes anyone can make and they demand you know the content within an hour of it releasing, to which they ragequit if you wipe. Not everyone, but it's a good majority, which cross server instancing for everything is to blame. It allows people to be whiny ragequitters / jerks and get away with it since they can just queue up again with randoms.

>_> I miss the days on mmos of having to do everything with people on your server, when being a jerk got you kicked from stuff and everyone knew you. Less ragequitting, more people with patience.

The entire party was new, so yeah. We were getting one shot by something.

This is a story-driven game, and that's the Final Fantasies in a nutshell. You cannot access Ishgard before you reach the conclusion of the 2.x storyline, because it would not make sense plot-wise for you to be able to enter the isolated country before they open their gates.

Think of the positives; you're at least getting experience now and saving yourself from a lot of future grinding, whereas I (and many others) did the 2.x story without getting any experience at all, which in turn resulted in a big grind of exp to reach that level 60 in the expansion.

Just ask for the FC or friends help you with trials. Hard Modes take 2-3min with a decent group.

Silly logic. The expansion does more than simply extend the story, it also gives you the ability to gain experience points after 50. If you don't have Heavensward, all that post-50 experience would go to waste which would probably frustrate even more.

What the OP is talking about has absolutely nothing to do with having Heavensward or not and is the very legitimate argument which I've brought up myself numerous times. With the constant push to get people onto new content, older content and fights tend to be ignored by many players. Furthermore, those who have already beaten it are generally less patient than those who haven't, and give up after a wipe or two.

To the OP. The best thing I can suggest is to try and run the content with your FC. They're likely to be more willing to stick around if you wipe. Aside from that, just keep trying. It can be frustrating if you're constantly seeing vote abandons, but keep at it. You'll beat it eventually.

If you deal too much damage to the King, he casts his ultimate attack, which deals damage proportionate to the number of chibi mogs left alive at the time. The intended strategy is to kill as many of them as possible as quickly as possible, because the move is also on a timer. Generally, they are killed in order based on their overall danger to the party. A group of gung-hos spamming AoEs on all of them right as the King spawns can trigger his ultimate, or if all the DPS are going after the King, that will trigger it too.
