Famitsu interview with Yoshi

[ServerCollaps]

Oh, and wiping to a mechanic is a thing (you just have to master it, you'll do it eventually !), but wiping endlessly because you're missing a little extra bit of dps when you're balls on it will just drive people away.

there are groups clearing a3s in 9 minutes, probably you are just horrible bad and should consider kicking some people if they arent able to play their classes properly

since everyone got full 210 and 205 weapons "too much dps required" is zero excuse for not clearing a3s

Didn't it take the world first group over a week to clear A3S due to gear checks?

its all routine, I'm pretty sure they could kill it now in ilvl 190-200 without hitting enrage

groups were already able to solo heal and 7 man it

yeah sure, "everyone is full i210 and i205 weapons". sigh.

To answer you though, I stopped raiding nearly 3 month ago because AS3 was just ridiculous.

and back then, people didn't have the dps for it, for the most part. And by a long shot.

Now, they just don't want to go back to it. plain and simple.

Also, your comment doesn't prove me wrong.

its the high end content for the top 1% of raiders, tough even casual groups who already got full 210 should clear it without problems

a3 normal seems to suit you more if you have neither gear/skill nor the determination/time to learn the mechanics

Whatever you say man. No point talking to someone resorting to personal attacks.

You just seem to have no idea what the "casual raiding" scene is like

so what is it?

That's an oxymoron. 1% of raiders =/= casual raiders.

And even then, "casual" definition differs people by people, but it doesn't change the fact that the general census is that A3S and onward is incredibly overtuned, the clear rates are concerningly low (admiringly by the developers, who intentionally designed these to cater to the high end raiders, so wut?), mass server transfers for a "better raiding scene", and that Normal mode can be done with even someone that's afking outside of the boss arena because it's so loose and undertuned comparable to a 24-man raid.

no its not

hardcore raider (1%) can kill it without proper gear, casuals can kill it with proper gear, in the end everyone should be able to

a3s is nothing different then some kind of titan hm/ex just with 4.3m instead auf 300k hp, memorize some easy mechanics like sluices or protean wave and combine them later. Titan had landslide, exploding gaols and plumes at the same time

all what a3 requires is a knowledge of playing your class and to tunnelvision for only 60 instead of 90%, tough you still can tunnelvision most of it by just following set patterns for every mechanic, which will never change and are always the same
