New Raid is a blast!

[DemonicDoll]

Have to say, I never had so much fun with the raids in this game before. Easy to dodge once you know what you are looking for. Not a snooze fest. You actually are doing something vs previous raids. I dont get the fuss. These aren't that hard at all and actually make you do something vs standing idle and smashing buttons. I never enjoyed spamming dungeons so much either. I hope they keep it this way. If its too much for some casuals, who don't like mechanics, then a suggestion, make a casual mode for them. Don't take the fun mechanics away from the none casual players please. We need something.

I agree, fun new mechanics with some old ones with a bit of a twist. I hope that they ramp up the difficulty a bit aswell as the tiers go on. And hopefully we see some harder ally raid mechs to. I'd love to see what DRS does in an ally raid. Twice and thrice come ruin my beloved.

There are NO NEW mechanics, remixed or a twist yes but none that are NEW to the game or encounters. Stop praising something you don't understand just bc its flashy or currently dropped. Misinformation like this is why the game doesn't eveolve

I'm hoping the difficulty for the Alliance Raid is similar, or harder than Ivalice when they dropped. The rage and seething when they'd pop up in roulette and cause people to quit before the first fight was delicious.

doesnt help to malign the 'casuals' as well so they score brownie points with their raider buddies.

I rather enjoyed it, and as casual as they come

You like what you like I just dislike misinformation being spread. That's all I'm saying

100% agree

I don't get how it's misinformation? Lots of things are reused and has a new skin. Some things are definitely new. Black cat has elevate and eviscerat, honey B has the hearts where if you get to many your seduced and then killed.

I guess you could argue it's just a rehash of something else and I'm forgetting things from other fights but damn. Don't have to claim I'm intentionally spreading bad info >.> mechs are still fun to do.

I like the raids, hope it ramps up and the ally raid is good this time. EOD

I thought they were pretty great as well and I'm looking forward to Savage. This is a stark contrast to Endwalker where I did not care for the raids at all.

It is misinformation because the mechs you are doing in these raids are not boss specific. Everything mech wise is the same in past fights sure some may have a twist or a delayed effect but Mechanically they are the exact same period.

Just because you don't remember some fights mechanically whether they be from unsyncing it now a days or due to higher ilvl to never see them anymore doesn't mean they don't exist elsewhere in older content. It's not a brand new mechanic like ballistic missile or brain jack, or allagan rot or allagan field which hasn't been seen or used or rehased or reworked, repurposed.

Elevate was used in HW raids specifically A4 with launching a set of players to a platform and A8 with floor plates. If your talking about the floor crumbling that was used through pando raids, if your talking about her moving with a giant purple marker that was done in pando raids and has the line AoE which was Storms crown line Aoe targeting players. Again nothing new

Honey B hearts don't kill you that's the AoE on the floor that damages you and gives invul stacks to you that's what kills you. You know the dancing you do? That's From SB Emenation trial again it doesn't kill you. It's the same mechanics fundamentally just with a twist or rework however you want to look at it.

It is by default not a NEW mechanic

Edit: I'm not saying you intentionally spread misinformation but what I am saying is this what causes misinformation whether intentional or not. Everyone's memory is different but it needs to be known that these mechs have existed and still do in older content.

Enjoy the game how you want and when you want.
