AS4 downed within 4 days in china

[Kuwagami]

so there is this chinese group which has beaten AS4 only 4 days after release. Judging from that, it is clear that AS4 is too easy and that SE should stop making raids too easy right ?


(ok enough with the "coil is too easy stop catering to scrubs" bait)


Gratz to these guys, it's really impressive to see what is possible in FFxiv in terms of super high skill level.


(In all seriousness, I hope noone will repeat the FCOB nonsensical rant about lack of difficulty which resulted in the alexander savage crap >_> )



EDIT : THIS IS NOT A THREAD ABOUT HOW QUICK AS4 WAS DOWNED IN CHINA

The team which did it has been clearing AS4 on JP servers since november. This is just a thread informing that AS4 has been down with an ilevel that was deemed mostly impossible by most (if not all) of us.


also, you can see their gear here : http://tieba.baidu.com/p/4307421716

Impressive. But they may have JP accounts and experienced the fight before. Also they had acess to all strategies documented in NA/EU/JP communities beforehand. They are really skilled, sure, to clear A4S with that gear, but nothing out of this world IMO. Congratz to them.

I just want the cheongsam dress from China.

They do. They were on Aegis since 2.4 and downed AS4 around November. They had around 3 month to practice the strat and come up with the optimal party composition.

They needed 4 tries only to beat the enrage, pretty impressive.

The whole run and team set up is absolutely beautiful. The most impressive clear I've seen. Just faultless. Good for them it's good to see such a fantastic team. They made the run look effortless!!

This video just shows that they are in another league. Beyond pro level

[FeliAiko]

Definitely impressive from a numbers standpoint, yet clearly also shows the power of hindsight and previous experience in said content as well.

That's... actually really impressive, props to them. Didn't Lucrezia or some other group do something similar with Twintania in i70?

i50 with i70 weapons yeah (quest AF gear + crafted i50 or lower accessories to have the acc cap + i70 weapons to actually hurt the boss enough)

Regardless of them having the videos and the clear in you tube doesn't mean they had the upper hand. If that was the case everyone would of cleared AS4 in no time.

The dps is INSANE for such ilvl level. Specially for that MCH.. this video is just a living proof that's there's people out there with tremendous skills. And the Chinese proved the point once again.

This is not just your average AS4 clear, this is THE clear.

The Chinese and Japanese have very much a work oriented style of culture where they always work at their best and if they lack performance they will go out and make sure they either practice or get better, this is why Korean teams in Starcraft 2 Tournaments are the best because of their culture on self improvement. It is like a law to these cultures that one improves that faults. So comparing western world to the Chinese or Japanese is stupid, because of their culture on being efficient and always seeking self improvement is much much greater then ours, we are more laid back with our self improvement we always get to a certain point and stay there, they on the other hand always seek improvement even when they are on top form.

So no surprise if they have tons of practice to go on do it so well with what they had.
