Garuda's Difficulty

[Leo_Hart]

Doing Garuda with Japanese latency is a huge advantage, as is Ifrit Extreme. A one second delay is a pretty big deal in technical fights.

You cant do that somebody can do with same latency, so mean you are good(skilled????) player? Is your little bro behind the controller?

P.S. nobody said the latency make no different, but that's not main factor.

Yet first kill went to NA, its amazing people bring up latency in garuda fight, shows how clueless you are about the fight.

How is latency not an issue during that fight?
I've only tried Garuda a couple of times, but our main problem was always avoiding her attacks during phase 2. Even when we were standing in the middle of the area and moved to the opposite side or behind her almost right the moment she reappeared, it still wasn't always enough.

I'm sure it can be done somehow - I'm certainly not arguing with that. But having less latency and thus more time to get out of the way should make it a good deal easier.

As for getting hit by her moves even though you are behind pillars, I've never ever seen that happen.

That constantly happened to me at first too, but only when I was too slow to get behind the pillar. It's pretty much the same as with Ifrit really: You can get hit by eruptions or plumes even if you're already 10 yalms away, but it shouldn't happen if you move out of the way fast enough.

(edit: Oh, didn't even notice it's you! /wave Evy )

LATENCY IS. THE. MAIN. FACTOR. FOR CHRIST SAKE

How do you think i'm able to NOT GETTING HIT BY ANYTHING BECAUSE I'M ACTUALLY ABLE TO DODGE THE FIRE IN World of Warcraft?

THIS is NOT possible in FFXIV.

God damnit Square is this your first MMO you made?

Oh? And yet you seem to agree that in the Ifrit Extreme fight it makes a difference, judging by the fact that you ignored that.

I didnt comment on ifrit extreme bc i didnt experience it yet and act like i know it all, neither did i say there is no latency issue in garuda fight, just merely saying latency has not much impact in that fight die to how it works.

I'm wondering if anyone has beaten Garuda since they fixed the manaburn exploit, because it seems like she is unbeatable now. If someone has done so, would they be kind enough to explain how they did it? If not, are there any plans on the devs part for additional adjustments?

Yes people have beaten Garuda since they fixed the exploit.
You simply learn the fight until you have it down and win; most likely with the help of a good linkshell.

I don't know how this thread is still moving.

This thread still going coz some Good Player said bad latency make the fight impossible. But they are GOOD PLAYER.

Do you even know what the hell you're playing?

I know but do you?

If you can't adjust to latency (which is a real problem recognized by SE long ago and probably the main reason why 2.0 was developed) to beat Garuda, I think you're overestimating your skills ...
