    Not worth putting effort into a few things you can't solo. Why not just ask a friend or put a PF up or even maybe queue normally in this case? ^^

    Also you need to question yourself: "Why am I doing this solo?"

    I was doing 3.0 Relic for DRG and DRK and came across things like in "The Aery" Nidhoggs move where he binds you in fire or something and you can't break free on your own and eventually kills you. Also before that in "The Wanderers Palace"(Hard), the last boss casts doom and I can't kill him fast enough. In those cases I just asked a friend that wasn't busy and we ran through the dungeon np!

    Like I said before, instead of posting a thread about things you can't solo. Question why you want to solo in the first place. It's really not necessary in a MMO.

    Edit: You should worry less about wasting peoples time. To be honest, a lot of people are probably bored half the time playing this game and are looking for something to do lol. At least in this current moment in time.

    I tend to work on soloing a lot of that stuff because the few friends I have aren't online, or busy doing something else. And because the FC I'm in either nobody is on, or those that are on tend to ignore anyone and everything that isn't their linkshells(and it seems like I'm the only one not in any of their LS...)

    Seconded. I went over this in detail in this thread: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...=1#post4507673

    This is a MMORPG. We need to be social to obtain goals. We need friends to complete content. If friends aren't online, then we just need more.

    I personally Solo things, because it's actually fun to do. I'm not all about doing things fast or being 1st. I'm about having fun. Waiting for a dungeon to pop isn't fun, but going in instantly Solo is. It's a new challenge where you have to deal with mechanics alone and that's all kinds of fun to try to survive. I agree if they add unsynced dungeons, raids & primals, they should consider adapting the instance for Soloing, maybe adding a 2nd version of the fight when you select unsynced that is for Soloing only which fixes traps like with Nidhogg.

    We’re not talking about content you “can’t solo” here, we’re talking about content you can solo but due to one gimmick you can’t do it alone. You can solo every hard mode primal from ifrit to shiva, except Titan, not because he’s hard but because he traps you in a rock that instantly ends the instance. That’s not good design, if it’s a hard fight that you can’t manage alone, like trying to solo ravana ex, then that’s fine, rise to the challenge or bring a friend. But when it actually can’t be done, not because it’s hard, but because of the way it’s designed, that needs to be addressed.

    You could make a game where all you did was run through fields of flowers holding hands and you'd still get a guy telling you you're doing it wrong.

    Nope, because the mechanic needs to be there so groups cant either kill it too easy. I mean look at all those zurvan farms etc, they can barely towers, good thing they are there.

    What's the difference between an instant-death mechanic and an attack that deals twice your HP in damage from the parties point of view?! Absolutely nothing. You'll die one way or another. However, the first one prevents the battle from being soloed when unsynched, while the latter does not.

    No one here is talking about removal of these mechanics. People just want them to be made in a way that they can be "brute-forced" with high enough level when doing the run unsynced. Nothing would ever change for an actual party running the instance as normal.

    Stone Vigil Hard is soloable. Easiest to do as a healer because you have to keep at least one NPC alive.

    The Navel (Normal) and the Navel (Hard)

    - If all surviving party members are trapped in granite gaols, the battle will no longer restart. Instead, the trapped players will be released after a certain amount of time has passed and will incur damage.
