FIX GARUDA!!!

[Velhart]

In all fairness to the XIV team they have most of their resources working on 2.0. The QA probably isn't nearly as thorough because its temporary content. I dont even think these primal battles will make it into 2.0 at all, at least not in their current form. Its also why server instability has been so difficult to fix over this last patch, they are working with split resources, and obviously XIV is going to draw the short stick. When you have deadlines to meet on *both* ends of the floor, it can be really hard to push out non-buggy content. Ppl want 2.0 on time, that means XIV has to proceed more or less on time. Its a nightmare of a situation SE put themselves in, all for delivering players an MMO that meets expectations.

As far as XI goes, I have no idea why that was so bad. Then again, you had an MMORPG noob designing it. That might have been the problem.

FFXI was my first true MMO back in 2003, so anything I would consider funny today did not go through my mind back then, that is just how I thought it worked, and during that time, that how MMO's worked in general since they were still in their uprising phase.

I do agree with you however, they are very limited on what they can do to 1.0 due to the budget heavily catering to 2.0. My only complaint is not being able to spot out "obvious" flaws in battles. I am not a developer however, so I won't pretend to know how things work there. I will just do the "Deal with whatever I have to right now", and know 2.0 will most likely be much, "much" better than what we have right now.

Im sorry there is no excuse what-so-ever for this. The bottom line is the testers did not do there jobs properly. Now the devs, yoshi and the players can make all the excuses they want but in the end SE testers did a piss poor job. If players want to blm burn thats fine I personaly dont care, if they want to do it the way the devs planned it I dont care. The fact is if this bug was that important to fix they would have restricted garuda access when they found out about the bug. Again dont make EXCUSSES for this, because there is no EXCUSS in the world for this kind of bug!

Wouldn't the blm burn strat not work anymore. cause when she goes into auto phase 3 wouldn't you need more melee dps to kill her clone. Cause if you can't kill that one fast enough don't they auto kill you with that blast that does like 3k dmg.

right. and only having the tank + 1 bard on her generally won't get her down fast enough, since the tank can't use anything but frontal combo or risk turning her and stunning/knocking back/interrupting casters, and the bard can't really use their distance combos if she summons east winds.

Thought so. Thanks for clearing that up.

SO, now do we want to demand all players who have participated in any primal fight with more than four of any one class/job be perma banned? will that make blue garbltr happy? do i need to be standing on the mob im fighting as archer when on a sloped terrain? should BLM be restricted to per diem spell casting and have to go back to the inn to be able to cast more?
This thread sure sounds a lot to me like blue garbltr thinks that everyone else should not be able to win without at least 32 consecutive tries and that then only brue gobbltater should get any weapons.

Fighting Ifrit with more than 2 THM/BLM is an exploit, KOing all moogles before momento moogle is an exploit, moving out of the way of a Puk weapon skill is an exploit. BAN BAN BAN BAN BAN BAN BAN BAN BAN! and while we are at it, make sure to ban everyone who had physical level 30+ while levelling a <10 class.

You'd have a point if you actually used your brain. SE themselves stated this isn't the intended way to fight and Garuda is bugged in the sense triggers doesn't go off when burning it down with tons of thm/blm. THAT is an exploit, using 2+ thms on ifrit isn't an exploit.
