Garuda after patch

[TheFatHousecat]

Not gonna happen, unless SE starts banning for this 'exploit' which they admitted to and fixed. And they're not going to ban people, because why kill off your already small playerbase with your own sword?

I realize this, and I understand why they aren't banning anyone right now. BUT, I do dream of a game in a year or two's time that, when an exploit does present itself (which hopefully won't be every new fight), the dev. team reacts similarly to how devs. in WoW acted when one was found and used there.

Although, it's still pretty gross how accepting of exploits this community has become.

A party beat it with all 7 jobs, and yes the paladin was tanking. All classes are welcomed, its that after the BLM burn most people have their BLMs built up compared to other jobs.

Just because it's actually possible to beat Garuda with all 7 jobs doesn't mean the players themselves are going to welcome all of them, unfortunately.

I don't know what time do you online, but You are in the same server as mine.

If you can log in around the time of 8pm~10pm (JP time zone) Then you will see many random recruitment party for Garuda. Most of the party so far could win Garuda easily in TA with standard strategy. This is how I do to get some more Garuda weapon after 1.22a. What you do inside party is only normal auto-translate greeting, and do whatever act to show them that you understand their strategy. (if you playing suck then you won't get in the next recruit, this is how they often does thing to keep the standard high. So be aware!)

Although I only do this now because a lot of my LS members currently play TERA and not have enough members to resume activity normally, this is a good method to help your own without wasting your friend extra time. (I think most of the random recruit JP people are also in the same condition that doing this only because they not like to ask their friends to waste time for them. It is not because they not have friend to help, some of them just not like to ask for help.)

Also, I gotta admit that most random JP plays much better than some well-known hardcore NA. So far, I always win with whichever party I join.

People got soft using the BLM Burn, and got most if not all their weapons....that said if people won't accept a challenge here and there, the Devs might just continue throwing easy mode content at us, which will result in a host of other problems down the line obviously we'll have "why so easy" posts I guess its a never ending loop.

Now to be honest, Yoshi has been superb showing his concern and attention to the playerbase ideas and views but im sure no one ever complains a game is too hard so often, but they do complain if its too easy and right now thats exactly what it is. We're lacking engaging content everything is killed now for drops, i remember in a game not too long ago, people would gather to slay great wyrms, which dropped nothing of value. It was for the challenge presented by those Wyrms not the loot.

I agree with OP

Players of FFXIV are very selfish and gear focused, they want easy mode as opposed to normal/hard mode. and if there isnt a strategy or a fight takes several attempts to get the strategy right they quit after the first few wipes.

Not everyone is like this, but a whole lot are.

REASON

WOW ruined MMO's for old school MMO players and brought a lot of single player players to the MMO world.

Single player play style = whats in it for me

Old school = Lets see if we can beat x today or have a damn good time trying, when we get the win its euphoric.

EXACTLY. Thats how it should be.

[Catapult]

I simply find it amusing that we have reached a point where we are not lost for things to do.

Which means Garuda has competition.

But yeah, I sympathyise about the "pros have now got the stuff so good luck find a party" situation.

We're on the same server together if your looking to join a link shell that does primals drop me a tell, right now from what ive seen alot of people are discouraged by garuda, she is pretty tough! My small group is getting more excited cause now we're starting to survive aerial blast and the whole 4 hours we were there it was only us and my party still couldnt take in that we were the only ones there cause atleast on our server its empty cause you have the group of people that burned her and the group that didnt jump on the blm burn bandwagon when it was there.
