Petition: Remove EX Trials from Mentor Roulette

[RyuDragnier]

And that's why you fail Ex trials in DF more often than not. Because people expect the fights to be easy and a faceroll, but then when it turns out they're not and you can't be carried through them, they either leave or the party fails the duty. I'll mention one of my Mentor Roulette experiences. I believe we got Sephirot this one time. That fight is awful to explain via text because there's so much going on, so I asked people to look up a guide while we waited for members (some people had left). I was willing to explain things or answer questions if people had any after looking up a guide. There was this one person who was watching a guide after I asked, and they commented that "Holy crap! There are so many things going on in the fight." I answered that yeah, which is why a guide (preferably a video) was way better than walls of text. I asked the others again to please watch a guide and said that the fight wasn't easy, and you know what 2 or 3 of them did? They bailed. If this doesn't prove they weren't expecting to make an effort, I don't know what does. I should also mention they hadn't said a single word the whole time, so it's not like they wanted to do the fight blind and I was against it.

Again, I have yet to see a single failure of an EX trial in DF. Every time I enter, at least 3 of us know what to do and train the others, and we clear it within a single lockout. It may be like as you say on the Light DC, but I have not run into any of these problems (yet) on Primal DC. Which may be either because of the difference in players on the DCs, or those two who said nothing may have been fluent speakers of another language (since I know EU has French, German, Italian, etc etc).

Then you're one of the lucky few. There are Ex trials that if I got in the roulette, I knew beforehand that I'd be spending the next hour wiping and I wouldn't make progress toward the mount. However, I still stayed and tried to help as much as possible. As for the language, I can at least explain stuff in both English and French. It's only German that is hopeless.

Indeed you are a lucky One. I’ve gotten Niddhog ex wheee people did not understand how the red and blue needles work despite me telling them multiple times that blue tethers need to avoid damage and red needs to take damage. Ive gotten King Mog ex where again despite me saying that all moo goes need to be under 10 percent people don’t listen or lack situational awareness on the debuff for moogle go round. I’m alright with most of them being in mentor but it is so frustrating when they do not listen and at the end of duty I just say just unsync it in PF.
