Going in blind kicking

[Arrius]

Don't think that happened, a single person cannot influence the mechanic unless more people were standing at the wrong place.

Besides, I once or twice wiped on the scale encounter, but the folks shrugged it off and tried it again. With the bonus they could vibe more with the music.

(Generally on blind runs I do them with people also doing it blind, or willing to accept blind runners. It's not nice to make random others work harder for one's own sake.)

Did you ask before the start? "Hi, first time, any mechanics that can wipe us?"

At worst you will be kicked immediately and not waste your or other's time.

You don't get to decide how people play.

Ok then never mention you're a first timer in any duty?

Never saw someone getting kicked by alliance raid and I personally enter all of them blind my first time.

I haven't actually finished that raid myself, quite frankly I haven't been playing my best lately so I put it on hold so I don't slow groups down. Judging from scale mechanics that can wipe an entire raid and random kicks being thrown around I might just give Endwalker Alliance a miss.

I really don't think the chance of being kicked is that high. At this point, If you can follow a crowd, you should (mostly) be golden. I'm sure death will happen, as it does to most people in their early runs, but that's fairly normal.

For what it's worth, I've seen several wipes on that last fight, but never seen a kick go off on anyone. YMWV.

It's a fun raid IMO, would recommend giving it a shot! Maybe just toss out you're newer to it, and people should be good. If not, well, jerks sadly exist, but thankfully it seems most people are decent.

So, just ran the new 6.1 alliance raid, and was promptly kicked for not knowing mechs on the last boss where you need to stack to avoid wipe(which i learned when we died) as i prefer going in blind than watch a YT video and spoil the bosses before i see them in-game. If a mechanic is like that, than why not take a minute and explain if a mechanic is crucial where you stand.

Did you tell them you didn't know? Or did you wipe 100x and said nothing?
Or wiped 100x and got nasty? Always 2 sides to a story.
