    Well, its the first 24 man I’ve done at launch with zero wipes. I just wiped once at Engels meteors I think because no one stepped in. Thats it. Previous 24m raid series started with some challenging raids, now it started with a joke.

    On the first few hours of the patch, wipes were happening regularly. Basically, the RNG coffer of frustration is floating the chances of getting a competent team, which massively reduces the chance to wipe on the raid because there's more vets than rookies running. Normally, vets stop running as soon as they get their items, but the coffer is artificially inflating that, so it's "easy."

    Speaking from experience, this is the single hardest raid SE has ever launched day 1 for FFXIV. The only reason it's not even more punishing is that there's no mechanic where if a party wipes, the entire alliance is going to wipe such as on Ozma or Cid.

    From my experience, day one runs of wiping city, dunce cave, ridoranna wipe-house, and we're-boned monastery were for sure harder. To me it felt a little easier then rabanasty(hashbrowns was a beast), but harder then void arc. And i remember some week 1 and 2 void arcs where cucu wrecked runs.
