Make Dhorme Chimera a Duty Finder instance

[dragonkyn20]

I just recently reached the point in my Relic Reborn quest where I need to acquire Alumina Salts from the Dhorme Chimera of the Coerthas Central highlands, but I was very surprised to find a large group of players waiting for a couple healers to show up so they can party up and fight the monster.

Is it possible to change this into a DF instance so nobody would have to wait needlessly in the same spot for who knows how long?

Where does everybody wait? been sitting in Uldah all day and not seen a single shout for one! lol. Would like to do it myself.

Being on DF or not, i couldn't care less. but i don't see many people doing it at the moment really.

There's... quite the number of people. Almost about the usual numbers when it comes to Svara.

I see people shouting for this constantly in Coerthas, where it actually happens.

Coerthas. Quite a few people actually wait at the battleground itself.

I spend hours every day shouting for Hydra on a JP server, using both auto-translator and Google translate, both in each city-state and outside of Halatali, and I haven't ever seen a response. I've seen groups forming, sent messages, and always been told "sorry, full" if they were even polite enough to respond. This has been going on for a week now. Pleeeeease make this duty-finder!

I like the fact that some of the fights are not on DF. At endgame, you need to get into a Free Company and do stuff with them, you can't expect to be doing the very hard stuff on Duty Finder. The hardest thing that I consider doable on DF is Ifrit hard, once you get to stuff that is harder than that (and Dhorme Chimera is part of this), Duty Finder won't be of much help. Not only you will have endless queues, but you will be heading in a fight where you will potentially wipe 30+ times before getting it right, meaning that you most likely won't get it done with the first DF group, and once you get to the subsequent runs, the party you get with are completely different people, completely ignorant of all the progress you've made thus far.

Duty Finder is a nice tool to level up and farm castrum meridianum, but guys, when you get to endgame instances, you will really want to be doing this with a static team. A team that will repeat the same instance for over 10 hours to get through a fight (i say that because that's how much time my FC has been spending on Titan hard and still haven't beaten him yet).

The fact that some instances like Dhorme Chimera or Hydra force you to play with people on your server should help you finding a Free Company that will do stuff with you.

I beat Chimera as a PUG with my very first group on our third pull. I would most definitely not call it hard, much less comparable to Ifrit. The hardest part, and it was hard indeed on a JP server, was finding people who were actually interested in doing it. Word on the street is that Hydra is even easier than Chimera, but I can't attest to that myself simply because I keep wiping to the /shout boss. There is no good reason for why everything else in this quest, including later stages, can be done with Duty Finder while these two stages are completely overlooked.

The more that takes place in the open world, the better. I would even run dungeons open world if it were possible.
