Coils of Bahamut... and its inconsistent challenge level.

[bounddreamer]

Still fondly remembering that time our raid leader queued us for T5 thinking he'd unsynced it, but we hadn't, and queued with a MNK who'd forgotten they had queued for it. Then we one shotted it. In duty finder. Synced.

Yes, yes, Echo; but! MECHANICS. I still remember the trouble I had with divebombs and twisters my first few attempts.

Unsynced doesn't mean faceroll. Sometimes unsynced means pushing phases so hard, you wipe! I'm really looking forward to seeing what unsyncing does to Heavensward extreme fights. Bismarck, Ravana, Thordan, and even Sephirot have already become a total joke.

I'm looking forward to people poking Ifrit and Ramuh EX and having it wipe within seconds >.>

People are going to have to strip gear until they're only wearing a weapon and a job crystal!

Those two fights would still be annoying unsync with their auto wipe mechanics.

Titan ex has been a joke.

Research complete. Qued for lv 50 content with undersized party, loaded in, and the chest wasn't automatically there. For some reason they expected me to do something? Please nerf. / sarcasm

I finally figured it out!

You see the majority (if not everyone) likes Undersized Parties the way they are... But you have a certain issue with them, and refuse to use PF sync. So you go on a one man army mission to fight against the mechanics, try to get SE to create a different instance for them so all mechanics are gone. You assume everyone would ignore that content since there is no more fun at all to be had and would resort to doing it synced. Doing it synced (you assume again) would awaken the DF for them all...

Therefore, you give yourself access to doing the coils AND get commendations at the same time! OCD win!

I must say, you would be a genius if it were not you being the only one in your corner.

People can literally go in bis and ravana ignore 70 percent of the mechanics and kill them 99 times in less than an hour if you wana call that not give me then your welcome to that as well.

Also that's a real huge over exaggeration, and what is the end bit even meant to mean? That just sounds like gibberish.

I finally figured it out!

Ive just given up the fight like I said I waited to do hw primals I play at my own pace havent even finished the msq yet, because I didnt have to , to do the primals so I did just did enough to get to the endgame content and raids. Well I admit because of the outlook on doing old content I will not be doing this any longer this time Ill do the msq as fast as everyone else and be on time for content because it dies fast.

Instead of tryin to change what the norm is Ive accepted it , and am pretty much of the mindset lets just give people what they want easy mood in old content because again this game is based on everyone not the few niche players that view this game as a whole package. So pretty much come stormblood if it isnt 4.0 everything else is irreverent and who really cares what happens to it is what Ive learned from this games community and I just embrace it now instead of tryin to be an outlier. Im actually surprised that people see things differently because its very apparent if you watch and observe thats how it is and its not gona change.

1)Ive just given up the fight like I said I waited to do hw primals.
2)Instead of tryin to change what the norm is Ive accepted it , and am pretty much of the mindset lets just give people what they want easy mood in old content because again this game is based on everyone not the few niche players that view this game as a whole package.

1) So you waited to do HW primal, to have them easier? Earlier on you were saying you wanted things to be as challenging as possible for your level. Again, contradiction.

2) You are tying to change it from what you've been saying, you haven't accepted it at all. Still you speak for this mysterious majority who none of us have ever heard from, time to stop listening to the voices in your head.

Edit: All of your replies have literally accumulated into: Please turn old raid content into a movie so new and lazy people don't have to lift a finger.

1) So you waited to do HW primal, to have them easier? Earlier on you were saying you wanted things to be as challenging as possible for your level.

No I actually waited to do hw primals because I wasnt going to skip over arr primals or the 24 mans etc I wanted to try everything in the game simply because I view the game as a whole game. And also I never wanted to leave the nn I loved the feature of a huge portion of players all in one setting , so I didnt even want to leave for a day so I acutally hit level 60 on my whm, got all my other jobs to level 50. Used turn ins to level my gsm and miner to level 60 so that I could become a mentor within the same day of finally beating the arr story. So I had my reasons and again its because I had no idea at the time how content was treated I didnt even know about rf at the time, I thought that I would be able to do what I did for the hw primals the exact same way as I did the arr ones.

And I was wrong so no it wasnt me tryin to have it easy I view everything as a que I dont care about drops , I dont really care about anything really but tryin to be a good player. So your going to deny what you see in your pf everyday people even here say that nobody does coil sync. There arent voices in my head only just eyes I can clearly see what people are doing, so is it an illusion that on my data center that nobody is doing any alex below 9s? I have no reason to make things up that gets you know where its clearly what I see every day in pf, no bonus parties, the occasional learning party, farm or clear partys for all hw stuff. And then unsync everything else maybe primal is different because thats what I will see any given day all day when I log it , Im not going to base something happening on a regular basis if it only happens every blue moon.

If you are running it unsync how do you not want easy mood, the flip side of that is not easy whether its from challenge or time spent. So like I said its a means to an end, but it is clearly much easier to do and is used if the option is there. If SE just randomly decided hey sense sb is coming out in less than two months in patch 3.57 lets go ahead and implement the unsync feature now. Im willing to bet nearly every instance on pf would be unsync every last one of them that is how the feature works its the easy way out and people are gona take it 9 times out of 10.

@Vidu
I have maybe close to cap of people on my friends list not sure havent checked yet , but the thing is vidu it really just seems to be no in between the casual and the hardcore. I made alot of mentor friends as I never left the nn they are hardcore raiders and cool for the most part some have asked for me to even come fill in. Well I have had limited experience with content that they have been farming for months now so just like people dont want a bonus in their party I dont want to be the person to bring a group down with content that I dont know like the back of my hand. And my other friends are just as casual as it gets, some full time crafters, some that want even do the 24 mans that are afarid to do those. I have friends that dont even want to do shom al hard, I mean Im not gonna stop being their friends because they dont want to challenge themselves.

So Im wat you would call a player that can clear content because I have sometimes things take a little more work than others but Im a pretty decent tank and healer Id like to believe. But Im not perfect and ill admit that , and alot of that has to do with the fact that a dungeon for instance I know like the back of my hand even know where adds will come where they are etc all of this. Its because Ive seen and memorized this content enough to no everything with a primal or raid most I haven't even done them more than 5 times. Just simply because I dont have the friends to run them with because many people are causal and using pf is draining sometimes. So I use this feature to make my learning party learn the fight while Im in it and get my clear and then pretty much dont even touch it anymore, theres no pathway from learning to farming and I dont even know if Id want to deal with some of the farmers mentality simply based off of what they say when they make parties is just rude and uncalled for. But yes maybe being in a fc with 500 members that are very casual aside from the leaders in the fc , does effect my outlook on things. But its not like I never tired, I asked people all over my friend list hey come do zur extreme with me, come join my a10s party etc.

Sometimes it works but alot of times it seems that many people just simply arent interested in high level content are those whom are have a very elitist perfectionist mindset. But I understand what your saying though and agree with what your sayin for the most part in ur reply. But sometimes its just very difficult to be in the middle are be the niche player when others shy away from challenge, and maybe others are so awesome at it that you cant keep up. Perfect example if you know xenos from youtube with his man mood videos the dudes like a master tank I could never do stuff like them at least I dont think. So its just simply hard to know where to look and its just tiring when others arent interested in tryin new things when your the only one. So sometimes being the long wolf gettin my one or two clears on extremes or savage is all I can do because I dont know where I fit in on the scale of the player base just somewhere stuck in the middle. And this is truly my first reall mmo experience before this I was playing swtor which was pretty much a solo game , so its hard I guess to know how to pick the right friends in a game.
