FFXIV - Myths of the Realm: Aglaia First Run/Reaction!

[@GalaxiaKnightX]

Man..this 24-man trial was truly amazing. The music outstanding. The bosses..all of them have dialogue and I love their personalities. Even if I couldn't read their names or moves. The mechanics are fun..and yes I did enjoy when players get KO'ed. What can I say I like seeing the fails.

I love the pure art that goes into the alliance raid. Where the previous raid, Nier, was bleak and desolate and washed out, this raid is just so colorful and flamboyant.

[@Spooky_Bard]

As far as I can tell, the tethers are there to measure your weight. The weight of the soul varies based on how many people are alive in each alliance, so it’s always possible to balance the scales.

[@DracoSuave]

As well, the adds add their own weight

[@NabsterHax]

I think it's also just there so people are pointed towards their group's add. Alliance raids have always had issues with adds that require the alliance to split into separate parties. Tanks don't do their job, people attack the wrong things, go way out of range of healing, or you end up with one stack marker with 15 people in it and another with 2. And that's the case even when the adds spawn in a clear A, B, and C position. These adds spawn in different places each time so it's helpful to have the game point each player towards their specific group's add.

[@insertcognomen]

@@NabsterHax if you look closely the spirit vessels take on the form of one of the party members, glam and all. Kinda like Odin

[@jayr5mitty351]

Absolutely loved this raid. Best so far imo. Just ran it for the 1st time last night and the mechanics made my head spin. So glad I watched this. Gave me a broader perspective on what was going on and now more confident in my next attempt.

[@sergel02]

I think the tethers on the last boss might partly be there to help indicate what move each alliance should focus down. Many times we’ve gotten 3 adds in alliances and parties would get all mixed up on who they should fight. Edit: someone said it’s also for the weights though I’m not sure on that. Edit 2: seems like the tethers indicate the weight. So if 8 players tether them the add weighs 8 units, so you go to the opposite side to balance them. A really interesting add phase.

[@jpnmystic5208]

Your team link to an avator, mean that the avator=team weight.

[@FirionDude]

maybe to help with the stacks ? If linked players stick to their avatar, they have enough people for the each stack.

[@Danothyus1]

each clone weight the same as an entire alliance, so for easy balance, each alliance focus their tethered clone, then move to the other side of the scale.

[@PrincessofKeys]

@@Danothyus1 you know that actually makes sense, I was literally trying to figure out as someone mentioned during the raid that the clones weighed the same as one alliance...so now I know what to do on that

[@Noblehardt]

This raid was my first time doing one that was current, so I instinctively rolled on the very first fight and got some maiming legs i’m probably not gonna use for a while xD Seriously, this raid is so freaking awesome. The atmosphere, the visuals, the mechanics, and the MUSIC. I was obsessed with In the Balance when I heard it in the trailer and am going to keep doing the fight until I get the orchestrion.

[@RazAnime]

The scales mechanic on the final boss have a very simple solution: Go to the opposite side of where your add died. If everyone does this it will always solve the mechanic perfectly. What if people are dead? Thats what the tethers are for. The tethers make sure people are always split up equally among each add. So just kil the add you are tethered to and then stand opposite of its side.

[@sitton76]

Another way is to have everyone kill all three adds on the same side and await judgement on the other.

[@OSAlula]

@@sitton76 you can't move adds

[@arahman56]

The Byregot fall got me first time too. Lmao. Now I don't feel so bad that it got Haps as well.

[@md_dorion]

If you plan to make a guide, might I suggest the following to make DF easier. Most of what you said was perfect so I won’t say much. Nald’thal will have some tips though, especially for my colour blind friends. 1. The lion adds, burn down one of them. Doesn’t matter. There are no repercussions that I could find out and it makes it extremely easy afterwards. 2. Nald’thal triggers the colour that the room background/orbs are. If they are orange (light), the orange (light) will go off. For colour blind strats, if he is wearing a robe, the blue (dark) will go off. If he has his legs exposed, the orange (light) will go off. There will always be a lie and a truth in every mechanic (either laser AoE or tracking AoEs, never both) and he can change halfway through a cast. 3. For Nald’thal adds, it’s best if everyone kills their add they are tethered to and then move to the opposite side of your add you were tethered to. I have yet to have this fail, no matter which weights are assigned to which adds. I used to do A adjust, B blue, C orange, and then if you had two adds on your side, you also moved to other side but it is much MUCH simpler just for everyone to move to the opposite side of the add they are tethered to, especially for anyone who is colour blind because the arena is VERY similar shade on both sides (dark inner is actually the orange side and light inner is the blue side). Other than that, there isn’t much to point out that you haven’t already figured out. Thank you for everything you do. :) Edit: Forgot to mention, for Thal’s balls, you can simply stay max melee on the safe side. It will always be directly across the middle ball and in between the two outer balls.

[@mommyela3197]

You killed Byregot before the raid wiping mechanic. Your dps was too good. There’s a hammer dropped, hammer shifting the arena, and a half room wide cleave all combined to only create 1 safe space. You end up seeing 3-6 people surviving it, while the other 18-21 people wipe. It’s truly hilarious.

Might be a coincidence, but i find it curious how Rhalgr's emissary is wielding an axe that looks uncannily similar to the axe you can get from Ramuh.

It was explained later in the questline that Ramuh is kinda like the sylphs version of Rhalgr.

[@TerryVideoZone]

yeah, as Rag_ says, it seems very likely that the sylphs saw rhalgr at some point and interpreted him as ramuh. Makes me wonder what other primals may be based on warped ideas of what the twelve could be.

[@mismismism]

I love the aesthetics and spectacle of this first raid, literally my only hope for the next ones is for them to be harder tbh. We have too many tools to rez and so many jobs have heals, we didn't have a single wipe on my first run, and it's not because the mechanics weren't unique, it's just some of them are way too forgiving for how insane our kits are IMO. I'm not a huge fan of the armor either, we're getting a lot of white greek glam that's very similar.

[@Max58183]

Exactly my feelings from the first run. I LOVE how the raid look, the whole thing is straight gorgeous... but c'mon, SE, why do you set the bar this low? People running around with 3-4 vuln stacks and not dying, we had half the group dead and still were able to solve mechanics no problem. And we had like half a raid of newcomers. I know that Alliance raids were not supposed to be difficult, but not to the point when you can sleep on your keyboard and still pass through :( And at the same time there's stuff like Bozja with their unforgiving fights.

[@mismismism]

@@Max58183 I was excited because they said these would be the difficulty of the Ivalice raids and those were difficult when they launched. I think it wasn'y even intentionally easy because I played super early at launch, I don't think we had anyone that had done it yet, but most of the DPS were SMN, RDM and DNC, not to mention the tanks other than DRK, are borderline their own healer so the only times people really died was if the got knocked off the stage, some died at the Destroyer fake out and on my second run we had 1 wipe because a few newbies messed up the scale thing. They really need to crank the difficulty a lot now that there is so much healing and mobility on so many jobs.

[@Max58183]

@@mismismism man, I am starting to have the feeling you and I were in the very same alliance. Because to gauge difficulty more I went second time as Black Mage (the hardest and the most squishy job). And our only wipe also happened on the scales mechanic xD The raid wouldn't be so forgiving, if there were more ways to keep in check overly bloated healing/mitigations. I have sad feeling that once the majority of players will learn the mechanics and gear up even further, it will be Crystal Tower 2.0

[@mismismism]

@@Max58183 Lol honestly same, I usually take a few runs before going BLM but here, the only part I can see being a struggle for some players is maybe the meteor thing on Nald'Thal but everything is way too telegraphed IMO, like once you know the fake out exists, the Destroyer fight is super easy, same with Azeyma when you realize a lot of the movement mechanics are way easier if you just stand under her until the telegraph, even Nald'Thal, that As Above So Below mechanic is cool but it happens so slow and there's so little actually tied to it, it's not confusing at all, there needed to be multiple stacks and exaflares of both colors to at least cause a little confusion. Cool concept but I really hope they get the feedback that it's way too easy, or just notice how many groups didn't even wipe once at launch.

The only bad thing about this raid I can say is that I don't really like Thal's voice in English. xD It's not like "bad", but overall I think Nald'thal has more personality in Japanese. Also I believe Byregot shares the voice of Thunder God Cid in JP, so that's a fun similarity to add to the list.
