Has any non-jp party defeated garuda post blmburn nerf?

[JackDaniels]

This is stupidly difficult. When they released this content they knew fully well about the lag, but they went and released it anyways. Why? I'm so mad right now lol I've wasted sooo much time and gil on failed attempts due to the lag. This just isn't fair, I am going to go smoke a bowl and play some soul calibur v and hopefully the rage will subside.
WHY YOSHI WHYYYYY

"Because I'm fabulous"

O.......kay? I understand your frustration, but give it time. Ifrit used to be extremely difficult and now look at it. Same with mog. Garuda will be cake in 4-5 months.

I never see anyone at Garuda. Ever.

One time me and my friends (good players too, ran parser, etc) tried for 3 days , 10+ hours each and could not win. We managed to get to the final stage...but lag + them not moving at the EXACT PRECISE moment killed us. After that...nearly all of them quit and never came back, said they never are and haven't.

I am waiting until 2.0 comes out to try...maybe then my buddies will give the game another shot.

hahaha oh boy.. latency you say? I didnt know we were back in 2011... seriously stop using latency as a excuse for your poor button mashing skills and ability to avoid attacks.. your fault and yours alone.. anyone who blames it latency is just a poor player sad to say..

Lol. Do Ifrit extreme then get back to us.

I'm on the CC part of the relic and will be on Ifrit Extreme soon and I still won't be using latency as a excuse if I die... its all about learning there moves and anticipating when they will do them... NA's have already beat Ifrit Extreme so your point is invalid.. fights are scripted and once you learn the routine of the fight and practice it becomes a ton easier.. but hey you want to keep blaming latency then do it..

Hey it is not what I experienced...I was in the right place at the right time. Latency lag from the server really is no issue if you are familiar with the fight.

It is my friend who has lag issues. And umm..its not latency...he has a celeron processor on a laptop lolz my cellphone has a better processor then that. So yeh that was why he keeps dying. Doesn't want to come back until he gets a new PC. ^_^; We would have to wait a good 30 seconds each fight for him to load. He still did really good though, would parse up to 20k on his BLM.

The fight does not seem THAT hard tbh...

I have to agree 100% with this, people spout latency every chance they get when dying in ifrit... The effects aren't THAT noticeable, just account for it when you plan your dodges.

Also to answer your question OP, yes many LSes still farm Garuda. but to PUG Garuda atm is really hard. Unless you get in a JP pug, I hear they are more capable.

Learning a "routine" to dodge and learning to not cast before eruptions, garudas warp move, etc. Doesn't discount the fact that there is latency in this game.

If I die 20 feet away from the eruption, we have a problem. If I can't get behind garuda before she does her move that 1 shots you, we have a problem. Closing your ears and ignoring it doesn't make it go away. Yeah you can attempt to be faster, but there is latency problems in this game. The Devs and Yoshi have admitted it.

This just means you did a move or buff when he popped eruptions, may look like your off but you werent server side, but if you would have not done an abil or buff you would've avoided it...

And yes there is some latency issues but if you are good at your job and know the fight mechanics it should not be a prob, I can see if affect the first few runs getting used to it but it shouldn't hinder you that bad where you cant complete the content..
