    Create your own trial.

    Post a trial you feel would be fun, challanging, and/or whatever have you. Try to include an environment, boss (or create your own), mechanics, and anything else you feel fit to add.

    umm challengeing give me time to edit this (thou can't think of much at moment due to time constrants)

    Environment: Forest or Machine Factory Zone consists of 3-4 area fields with paths conecting them (this is for 1 boss fight zone, which if a dungeon is whole dungeon but the final boss's zone)
    ilv requirements: N/A
    Boss:1 (can't think of name), big overgrown/rusted machine that runs of the Aether of living souls
    Team size: 8-player full party (2 tank, 2 healer, 4 DPS)

    Mechanic's:
    -Random long cast move with its own area effects, cast bar is on a CD timer after each use & is not bound by Bosses HP lv (3-4mins after engagement & re-engagement when new "Fight Zone" is entered with boss damagable again)
    --Flare Zone: perma-Heavy, heavy status removed after, barriors must be manually activated to save players at casts end due to it being a Line-of-sight field size AoE but barriers are placed randomly (2-3 possible places spawn per-this cast & Are shown a few seconds before heavy debuff)... Tank moves like Hallowed/Living dead/holmojang? can be used to live if not making it
    --Aero Zone: cause's increased player movment (think Shiva's Ice floor) random perma-floor AoE's which cause non-clenseable Dot's & Vuln stacks drop during the charge of the cast bar which when cast will then insta-kills players with more than 4 vuln stacks
    --Earth Zone: Random parts of ground light up to knock players skyward & trap them in a aura at map top (3-4 sec wait till ground lifts) players caught in "Aura" are hit hard when cast finish's (Heal able if at full-7/8th hp as boss waits a bit to continue attacking)
    --Aqua Zone: Casts perma dots on party during cast (week but can cause death to cast if not healed enouf) at half cast bar it puts perma-bind on party, effect should look like u'r held inplace by water
    -After a cast bar is used it will "Eat" highest on arrgo (not saveable by team eaten player must fight their way out) boss will then unlock a random path to a new area & chase team there (boss is invunrible till arrival) if "Eaten person" is not free by then they will die & body will be droped at bosses feet
    -After 1st Cast bar & arrival at "new fight zone" adds will spawn peridically from boss & they can be hurt by his moves, however each add's death heals boss by a fixed amount 3-5% HP thus making it a war of atrition if u can't dmg him as much/more than healed
    -*Possible but not sure if needed* a Countdown timer on screen if boss not dead 0:00 time wipe (resets if wiped)... actually this seems best for a "Hard" version of this fight so ignore

    Rewards: 3 chests (1 bonus at low spawn rate for minion & crafting item) 2 chests are armor gear with 1 item each 3rd is assessory. Completion gives an item (weekly) 8-10 are used for weapon turn-in at vendor (a machine near trial/dungeon zone-gate thats a mini of boss or a vending machine thing)

    Edit: had to re-word mechanic's to make more sence & sound clear (also had more time to edit)

    A Godbert Manderville trial.
    It should be part of the Hildibrand scenario (gave us so many unique and funny trials in ARR, not a single one in HW!).
    He will definitely use his goldsmith limit break at one point.
    And when you think you have beaten him, phase 2 starts which is his wife which is infinitely harder.
    Everything else is up for debate, no fixed idea for that..^^

    I can't think of a new reasonable trial tbh.
    I would however change Sophias trial. It annoys me that her trial is so easy.
    Phase 1 should be shorter, alot shorter. Like just up to 85%. Why? So we spend more time in actual danger. Add phase can stay as is but if someone gets actually confuse, that players attacks will automatically trigger confuse on the other players.
    For quasars, the blue meteor shouldn't give away which site is safe. Also add something that weights "2".
    Make players that fall off not raiseable. Make 2 Quasars appear in short succession.
    Have Barbello teleport more frequently arround the stage and attack the party with dodgeable AoEs while clearing other mechanics such as sin and punishment. Have quasars (That move the stage) appear during Clones. Have gnopsis appear right before placing meteors in clone phase.
    Have all her adds reappear during the last phase, all at once and cloudy heavens debuff too.
    Well I guess thats it?

    ... :^)

    A trial where upon entry, if the game registers that you're wearing accessories that don't correspond with your primary stat(s), the boss vaporizes you then permanently deletes your SE account.

    You're making suggestions on how someone can improve themselves? E l i t i s t.

    You wipe a farm party constantly but you're having fun playing your way. Nah you're fine dude.

    This community astounds me at times.

    Nah, make it so that the disrespect (toward the boss) shown by a player facing a boss with such inappropriate gear enrages the boss immediately and especially against that player. For the duration of the fight the player will generate several times the amount of hate than normal for the duration of the fight.

    and...

    which is an awesome suggestion that I agree with wholeheartedly.

    Additionally, Queuing with inappropriate gear could be seen as griefing since it immediately creates far greater potential for a wipe.

    Then we might see how long it takes for peer pressure to make people use appropriate gear.

    A mentor stole my house, slapped me across the face, and raised my ping from 15 to 30. Literally unplayable.

    Scale the Crystal Tower series of raids to level 60, so we actually get to see some mechanics. Looking at you Scylla and Boss2.

    How about 8-man group, everyone queues as either GSM or CUL.
    You all have 5 mins to craft something. Progress number is set at something around current 4-star value (~1965?)
    There is no 1-100% for quality, but the idea of the trial is to get the highest quality amount possible.

    When everyone's finished crafting, it shows what quality value Godbert and wife got. Need x amount of people to have got higher than them to win the trial
