Queueing for: Alexander - The Creator (Savage) SEEMS BROKEN!

[Aetherius]

I think you have a wrong expectation, what kind of content you try to join.

The Creator Savage is alot easier than Gordios Savage and Midas Savage were.

But even then, this content is designed to get beaten by a minority of the playerbase till it gets echo and nerfs in 5 or 6 month. Thats one of the reasons, why the rules of the raid finder are how they are.

When you seriously want to beat this content (all 4 turns), look out for or create a static. Trying in raidfinder, sooner or later you will hit a wall. Without any raidexperience, this wall will hit you sooner than later.

And before you try to do Savage, you should do the current extreme primal first. In kind of difficulty, its some steps before Savage.

You should also check out the stone, sea, sky trainings dummies to test your basic abilities.

The problem in question for me thus far has not at all been the difficulty. That is to be expected with these raids and I actually enjoy that quality about them immensely. The problem for me has been actually getting into them to begin with. It takes hours of qeueing. I mean I wouldn't mind getting in a few times a night and wiping every time as long as I and hopefully everyone else learns something significant out of it. But I consider myself exceptionally lucky if I'm able to get in just once a night. I'm not always.

On another note, thankyou for your suggestions.

If you are serious about getting into raid, you should not consider pots, and certainly food, as an extra edge. These are pretty much mandatory. Pushing dps harder and faster allows you to skip mechanics.

these are not so much an edge, as much as you're just jipping yourself and the team if you don't bring them

Thanks, I do both if I can.

Just remember

Everyone in your group 2, was once in your group 1.
We all went in with friends, using the party finder or just the Raid Finder.

I can't speak for everyone, but while I queue for completion/completion I will still do runs within my linkshells/free company for people who have not done completion.
YES going in with people who have not completed is harder. you get everyone from no-video watching, never seen phase 1, to people who have died to enrage quite a bit.
NO I don't really have sympathy on this. I spent days, litterally days, in queue and dozens of hours in the fight before I got my clear. I shouldn't have to go through that every week.

Good on you for helping others get from one group to the other.

Should you have to go through that every week? - Should anyone?

It'd have had to have been in the Raid finder as it's not available in the Party finder.

I personally don't have a many freinds who are upto this content yet so I've mostly been relying on PUGs, which perhaps explains a lot.

Anyways, nobody was asking for sympathy. Just a little thought on the matter.
