The New Final Fantasy 14 Raid Tier is AMAZING | Xeno Clears Pandaemonium Anabaseios

something p10 has showed me is that somehow tons of players have gotten to endgame gotten w/o knowing how to do a god damn tower mechanic

​@@lkai9684 well, they probably didn't know you can cut the tether but in general, playing with streamers is usually a pretty bad experience, if you fail, you have chat and streamers shit on you and then you're immortalized in the video as "that shitty ninja on stream from XYZ's run"

[@ExceedProduction]

That's why I love the FFXIV community. Mentor chat is real. Half of the people has no clue what's going on but are the first to jump to (wrong) conclusions. The amount of time people gave Asmon wrong advice was staggering. He'd ask a precise mechanical question and get tons of wrong answers, every time. (Just taking Asmon as an example because I actually watched his streams. Otherwise I consume very little FFXIV gameplay content.)

@@xWiranekx yes, that's why he should apologize lol. people apologize all the time for doing things without full knowledge

[@Enderlinkpawnu]

I learned not to trust Yoshi P in terms his comments on the difficulty of content, but he was right that the normal modes were harder than ususal. I enjoyed the hell out of doing this normal teir. It wasn’t too overbearing and it was fun to figure out. Hopefully Savage follows this pattern.

[@Zanbatoss]

I like it, abyssos normal was kinda meh, I have high hopes for the savage

[@kiyotsubasa9574]

Normal mode was harder for this tier ? Except P12 , they were simple imo because there is a lot of basic mechs. Most of the fight were also very intuitive.

[@Bankai90]

They still need to scale the damage up a lot in normal modes. In 2 weeks ppl will completely overroll it. But the fights are nice, the trial and esp ex trial are done really well aswell. Just still, enrage and just more damage should be a thing with how soon we will get already better gear. Making old content completely obsolete feels bit meh

[@chevoyingram9589]

​@@Bankai90 Hey this game has a easy mode and a hard mode, after 2 weeks the easy mode will be too easy what should you move on too. NO NOT THE HARDER MODE MAKE THE EASY MODE HARDER DEVS. Honestly one of the dumbest fucking takes I seen in a while

[@sleepysera]

@@Bankai90 The entire point of story mode is that it is supposed to be clearable by people who just want to enjoy the story and don't care for raiding. The mechanics are "challenging" enough that people can die to it if they don't know what they're doing, if you add more demanding healing requirements on top of that you quickly fall into a territory where very casual players can't handle that on top of the mechanics. Like, I get where you're coming from, but difficulty or content longevity is just not the core concept of story mode.

[@WoahItsCrazyMike]

I'm calling it now, I BET that in p10 savage, we're gonna have to make the webs connect across the pillars to slow us down to survive the knockback

[@hentaiwarlord1834]

sounds good cya in pf when we only do chariot/dynamo for 10 hours straight

[@PareSM]

It’s 100% gonna be web placement memes in pf.

[@rexxel8867]

or there will be a mechanic where 2 players are required to connect to each other to form a bridge for other players and yeah ofc its a knockback

[@garitobee7541]

That second boss with the spider webs was so confusing my first run. "Do I spread? Do I tether to someone? Do I put it on these poles? I'm stuck to it now with a stacking debuff and now i'm dead. Oh wait, maybe this is how you form the bridge!.... No, the bridge is made automatically for you by the boss? So what are these poles for? Oh, they're noob traps. -_-"

[@HassanNur]

haha I chose the poles and died! my dead ass brain could not figure it out!

[@sleepysera]

I died to the poles too once x) Had done it correctly several times already and then was like "ok but what actually happens when you connect it to a pole?" Was a real 'curiosity killed the cat' moment 😅

[@EverianKalim]

The poles are going to be something for Savage I bet. Like you will need to get tethered to avoid something and have someone break you after.

[@ApexGale]

[@hammsuke3981]

That reaper in p10n got emotional damage😂

[@KingCrimeTime]

they did a good job making p10n look harder than it actually is

[@sleepysera]

Not really? It IS hard in the sense that, you actually need 6-8 people to properly coordinate on the spot, something that's notoriously hard in duty finder. Fights that require it (like O11N during the intermission for example) are amongst the most wiped to normal modes in the whole game.

[@rbavb]

@@sleepysera bro what parties have you been in that wiped to o11n

[@KingCrimeTime]

@@sleepysera it's normal. They give you so much time to actually look at what's happening. If I can pf these fights and 1 pull them, they aren't hard. Like you have to try to wipe in these normal fights. Alot of these deaths in the vid are people literally not paying attention or playing with their monitor off.

[@nodot17]

Only normal fight this patch really wiped on was golbez and that was because party wasn't doing knockback into towers correctly

[@UmbraWeiss]

All the raid tiers are only hard for the people who don't really play this game, anyone who plays it every day already knows 90% of the fight the moment they happen.... it was easy, the only reason people die here is because there are a lot of people who can't even do simple mechanics. This tier was simpler than the first one.... the only reason people die here is because they do it for the first time, after 1-2 round anyone decent will do these fights without any problem, because they are that easy, even looking at the map will give you ideas what will happen... this can be challenging for ultra casuals , anyone above that will do this without problems, next week this will go down as if there is no boss at all.

[@muhannabasalem574]

p10 taught me that for some reason people don't actually know what a tower is

[@WalkmanSilver]

The amount of times I see 2 people run for the same tower and then leave one tower unchecked is hilarious

[@Danothyus1]

What i learned on p10 is that a lot of ppl probably never did weeping city, because no one was breaking the spider threads to free ppl.

[@Icycrits]

@@lucasvallet4487 Huge hitboxes completely invalidate the difference between ranged and melee classes. If everyone can hit the boss from anywhere in the arena, there's very little thought put into positioning and creative strats to increase uptime, and most importantly, it almost completely negates the benefits of bringing phys ranged (mch especially since they are a selfish job and were doing less than any melee jobs so you were actually better off bringing three melee over them, even without the 1% raid damage bonus). I'm a DRG main and the fact I could hit that stupid tree boss from anywhere on the platforms except the VERY back of the southern platform made a potentially interesting boss a target dummy with 3 mechanics at the 11 minute mark.
