How's Ultimate?

pretty sure the weapons are meant to look like sparkly golden trophies.

They are just shiny golden trophies, but it's interesting that they are gold and black because the actual Bahamut primal was gold

He looked like this in the Answers video too but it was really difficult to tell because of the lighting. they're very clearly patterned after the REAL Bahamut primal and not Bahamut Prime from binding coils who was blue and purple

You wrote an awful lot for a small poke at you :x

I don't know anything about A8S, Midas or even past O2S.

It's fun as all hell. Me and my static threw ourselves at it for about two hours before someone had to leave, but we all agreed we only wanted more of it the next day. I'm not saying ALL raids should be like this, but FFXIV NEEDs more raids like this. Very punishing, very brutal, very addicting and guaranteed to test you.

If you are a true raider you will love it. If you don't like it I'm not sure what to tell you, besides that you might actually just be a sheep in wolf's clothing.

But the part of the community that does that is VERY small which is a major problem

earlier "real" savage content.

Probably just opened up the floodgate with this line...

I haven't done the Alex Savage yet - I'm something of a late bloomer, coming in as 3.56 came out. But with that said, considering that in addition to mechanics, you essentially have a 3 minute enrage timer, something that a lot of groups in the world race have not been able to do consistently 24 hours after the content dropped, slower progress doesn't necessarily mean anything in this context. It's a different type of fight. For one, with A8S, the groups doing them at the time had to figure out all the different mechanics and rules, whereas here, you already know the mechanics, they just hit harder, work differently, and are far more intense than before.

No the major problem is the VERY big part of the community who is complaining everytime a raid comes out because they get "locked" out of the content since they are not willing to practice their class and the raids until they know what they are doing.

I'd say people don't really have a interest in the content. I don't really care about the gates on the this, I doubt I'll ever run it as it has no rewards I'm interested in. I just think that calls for more content of this difficulty need to be tempered by the fact that very little of the paying player base will engage with this content. It will be interesting to see how much of the player base does it and how long this content stays active for.

People who are not interested are one thing but if you take a look at posts about the different savage tiers, 24 man raids, EX primals and even Dungeons you can see that there is a big part of the community who is complains about everything what includes more than just smashing 3 buttons to beat it. If i don't want something in a game that is challenging me a bit and forces me to learn then i don't do it but i also don't complain about it.

By that same token, should Machinist be deleted since it's by and large unpopular? I, personally, find Perform a complete waste of time. Should I make several threads complaining about it? The entire purpose behind a themepark MMO is something for everyone. What you or others dislike others may find enjoyment and vice versa.

You can do if you like, personally I think perform looks like a complete waste of time as well, don't touch MCH though that's my go to DPS at the moment
