[@luckystarlight]

I think the main problem with the math problem is that people don't know that stepping INTO the circles adds numbers to your health, I've had multiple people think it was just a static number and they need to stand in the circle that would make the number divisible, then get screwed because the number changes. It's not an issue of math, it's an issue of not knowing how the mechanic works.

[@Inwerse]

You never mentioned this, but during Yiazmat when you stay on the same side as your marker you start levitating (you have a + marker and you stand on + side, I know its obvious but just in case) and you stay that way when Magnetic Lysis ends. In this case Cyclone will throw you out of the arena and kill you instead of just doing damage and spinning you around. Trust me, I learned the hard way.

[@tango7974]

Same, was about to post this as well.

[@heliotropei]

I was wondering why some people inexplicably died during Cyclone. This makes sense, thank you!

[@OurHereafter]

after all these years i finally had this happen to me. never knew about it until just now

[@Grimno]

Holy shit THANK YOU! I just tried this raid and no one explained jack to me. I died 25+ times and eventually I just left out of misery. So many mechanics explained here I had no clue about so now MAYBE I can survive! Especially that math part. I knew of it, but then when it came about I kept dying cause I was told "Divisable" and it then implied multiplication. But now I know to just look at the ATTACK name and not what the robot says.

[@josepadron335]

if you kill the add fast enough you can see construct 7 doing a dance 😂

[@spectreshadow]

Yep saw that haha.

[@Cafinebiased]

I was hoping he'd show his little dance in the video XD

[@JJMomoida]

You can also see him do this if you walk back to him after defeating Yiazmat, interestingly enough.

[@NOMNOM81]

The healer/caster gear is so appropriate due to Construct 7. Its the Arithmetician/Calculator outfit from FFT ^_^

[@mel_arky]

You forgot one thing about Cyclone and Magnetic Lysis, if you are on the wrong side when lesis resolves (ie if you are on the same side as your debuff when the arena turns back to normal) your character will have a levitation debuff with a timer (its about 30/40seconds) attached to it, If Yiazmat casts Cyclone during this you get thrown out of the arena (one shot), and Dust Storm will just throw you into the air and do heavy damage to you like it does when you are on the wrong side normally.

[@c_huvaknunh9138]

Great, now I have 2 reasons not to do this raid, 1) Greed Only and 2) MATH!

[@alexmaganda5827]

Biggest issue i had with the math thing is i play with controller and cant scroll up to reread what he said since then a portion thats important to read will always be skipped when i try to go up or down super ennoying

[@santiagocano4141]

the math is easy just simple addition

[@alexmaganda5827]

Did you even read what i said its not the math itself its chat box plus controller wont let me read everything

[@VinylDashMusic]

Well, he does have a cast bar that does what he says so you don't need the cast bars. Indivisible means Prime, Divide by Three means a multiple of Three, Divide by Five means a multiple of Five, etc.

[@alexmaganda5827]

Oh thats good to know

[@verfluchteblume]

That "greed only" for loot though. Absolutely hate it. Makes getting gear for the job I'm playing, and actually need it for so difficult.

[@verfluchteblume]

And I'm guessing since you got a video up on this, the red chocobo glitch in Yanxia is fixed.

[@iainvos5534]

Yeah like Mr. Happy himself said: if you want the gear for a job then play that job!

[@Scoreman7769]

Greed only fucks everybody. Just as bad an idea as unskippable main scenario roulette

[@verfluchteblume]

Iain Vos Exactly! I agreed so firmly with that. It's what I do... or did, since it won't even matter now until they remove it.

[@tfangel]

I still feel it should be a token system if it's all greed, sort of like the eight man raids, it would be the same odds of getting something, but you could then decide what to gear up.

[@HeiDidi92]

Why math? D: con gratz a mechanic I will never master xD

[@rikugetsa]

for yiazmat, if your floating from the magnetic mechanic, when he does cyclone u will get thrown out of the arena

[@Danothyus1]

Nice raid, but a bummer that Yiazmat is probably the worst boss there.

[@wolverestskyrider]

This raid wasn't that bad, No hard enrage and every fight is recoverable with just one heal and tank. Even the math part if you rez your dps fast enough.

[@xenshi017]

Easy way to tell which way Tsunami is going without having to have a weird camera angle is the chain and loop on the vase. It is an easier indicator for me at least.

[@buttstuff4689]

Someone needs to shine a light to all the tanks that died eating Tide Pods, it's not cool.

[@BradleyMcCloud]

So anyone that is bad at math will instantly fail the mechanics. Ouch. Stay in school kids.

[@RavinousStudios]

When my group was facing Famfrit, we noticed that when he did his room wide tsunami if you stand in his hitbox we wouldn't get knocked back.

[@mrzepher2539]

I love how Yiazmat trolls you by making it seem like the fight will take ages with that buff

[@WakaSmash]

I love it. It's an awesome shout out to FFXII where the Yiazmat hunt literally took 6 hours of fighting if not more

[@alfredobelloni3258]

@@WakaSmash 12 hours for me.

[@IzzyCoventina]

Hey MrHappy. I wanted to add on the final boss that if you are on the edge of the arena or too far away from the center when he casts Cyclone, you will get knocked out of the arena killing you instantly but you can be raised. I learned this the hard way. Love your vids man! Keep up the good work!

[@emphernoxd4459]

DragonRiderGirl Actually if you fail the reb/blue mec you will get a debuff which makes you fall out of the map if you failed it

[@IzzyCoventina]

Is it? I know I was too close to the outside and didn't fail the red/blue mech but still got thrown out. Maybe its a combination of both? More research is needed!! XD

[@HonestYeti]

Aye, if you don't get your charge removed by the end of the mechanic you keep it and you get thrown off. To make sure your charge type removes, just make sure you are on the opposite side. So, if you have a negative charge, be on the positive side by the end of the magnetic mechanic.

[@michaelflores6253]

Thank you I was dying hella crazy now it just seems easy

[@ThePiranha13]

Thanks for all the revives from my first time ass dying..you the best dude

[@zombieblood2468]

Jesus Happy, you've been getting crap done lol

[@michaelcoffey1991]

This looks like a fun raid, just hope it is still being ran when I get to it lol Spring of 2019

[@josepadron335]

one time during cyclone i got tossed out of the area and died i think something about the magnet phase had something to do with that

[@Quistis1982]

+ goes to -, and - to +, thats all

[@yesireallyam]

I got a nice new monocle for my troubles. it doesn't look like any other classes are greeding on an item they don't need. not in the grp ive just been in, anyway.

[@Jeannette.81]

I just want to clear this raid for once, the other raids in the past were not this bad ugh

[@Niyologist]

GIGA DRILL BREAKA!

[@Niyologist]

PIERCE THE HEAVENS!

[@randylin8318]

Good thing Yiazmat doesn't take 10 hours to kill like the original FF12.

[@robinkost8249]

You left something out on belias @Mr Happy the ifrit nail tethers ALWAYS tether to healers in the group

[@odahime7976]

leave class early to play FFXIV thinking "damn I hate calculus" Construct 7 : QUICK MATH ! me : SKRRAA

[@nuiharime3410]

This raid is tits as a whm. Theres too much going on to comprehend while trying to heal. It wouldnt be an issue if i could heal while moving to avoid shit. The bosses take a decade to kill too.

[@Redarkai]

really math really i pay you money and you tell me to do math hahahahha NO

[@Cranefluff]

The main problem I had with the math mechanic is finding my number. I can't be the only player who spent forever looking for a debuff or other indicator of my number, not thinking to look at my health. I never look at health numbers, even as a healer. I just looked at if the health bar is low or not in party frames. And it is also easy to miss his instructions, leaving me to scramble to switch to and read the "event" chat logs. Hard to decipher mechanics also killed me on the final boss. I know how magnets work, but how was I suppose to know that we are NOT meant to float at all. I was again looking for an indicator to tell me to float or not float.

[@singularitybound]

Lol more math..they are trolling us..

[@tfangel]

This was a really fun 24 man, and it was funny when people would complain and then drop party, and then clearing it just fine without them. One run finished with just two minutes left. The magnet part was the worst part, mostly because everyone had a different theory about what to do, opposite for some mechanics, same for others, and that caused a ton of problems. Overall this patch has been amazing in my view.

[@Hirotoro4692]

9:40 this ain't on the furthest 3, you get the classic orange marker on a random 3.

[@songofyesterday]

Last two bosses looks fun, can't wait!

[@emeraldo]

Watching people freak out on math is hilarious! 😂

[@Robenicks]

One thing I noticed about Yiazmat's design here: he has an almost skeletal appearance that's more reminiscent of Hydro (the Pharos gatekeeper boss in XII).

[@shmadenshmuki9843]

dont do math kids stay out of school

[@ruinerdown1614]

I did this for the first time the other day i looked up your fast giude as i was in there and it helped so much

[@AdrasAdraki]

A boss that asks for mafs... monkaS

[@jarlhenrik]

Yeah, luckily not every dev team are like Blizzard and expects their players to have the brains of a preschooler :p

[@AdrasAdraki]

Ehh, blizzard makes hard raids idk.

[@jarlhenrik]

Hard raids doesn't make you think as much as they challenge your mental endurance. The fights are longer, so you'll have to dodge the same stuff more often, that's not very innovative.

[@DarkAnomaly]

This looks like a lot of fun but as a Healer who hasn't been playing FFXIV that long (I'm lv 39) it also seems extremely chaotic too. Oh and the maths part, yeah not mad on that tbh.

[@temix3142]

Oh god, not MATH!! SE already proved people can't count to 4 in Labyrinth of the Ancients... we're all DOOMED! lol, thanks for the guide o/

[@PumpkinLicorice]

Temi X you know, I think I've actually seen more alliances wipe to Dispose than to math failure. It's not hard to get caught in a blast when he's bringin' it around town like that, esp. when he speeds up haha.

[@yabiyabi]

Hi, I unlocked, but, ilvl is not 360 ^^ It is 335! And ohh, you put interesting points, thank you!

[@JJMomoida]

The changes to the loot system for raid gives me pretty much zero incentive to do them as a tank (my main job being DRK). We have long wait times and gear is now greed-for-all so I guess I'll be queueing as DPS.

[@dannywolfpero]

[@JJMomoida]

It is literally entirely possible. Have you... tried queueing up for the latest 24-man raid as a tank?

[@denzelvilliers]

dannywolfpero i did Ridorana 4 times as Tank ( main ) and i had to wait 40-60 min. That never happened before in any 24-Raid, i don't know why this happening ( maybe because the new Loot System? ). I'll try it later as Healer and DPS because i won't go back as Tank anymore.

[@JJMomoida]

It's happened to me before as a tank with almost every new 24-man raid. It's possible that times are gonna be longer as people lose incentive to go as tanks.

[@baebae32flavas]

Everyone doesn’t have ridorana unlocked yet because it’s new. By next week more people should have it.

[@liannakanzacki]

be careful with the cyclone move on the last boss because if you're too close to the edge of the arena, it will through you out of the arena and you die

[@Hirotoro4692]

No that's because you were levitating by being on the same polarity (+/+ or -/-) based on the floor/debuff. Only way to cleanse the levitation is to step into the opposite polarity.

[@okgo3763]

At roughly 6:20 you misspeak I believe. You say that the effects of the tether are 'weakened' the closer you stand to the spikes. You then proceed to tell people to stay as far away as you can. No biggie at all. Not being a douche. Jist clarifying for future jobs learning. The closer you are to the spike the harder you get ????ed

[@Fade2BlackSS]

I think I'm going to skip this one. I'm not the biggest fan of FFXII and I didn't really care for Rabanastre. Yiazmat looks cool but overall, im just not excited about this raid tier. Hopefully the next Omega series will be good.

[@denzelvilliers]

Sophia EX math challenge?, bah 😩😩😩, Construct 7 Ultimate PLUS Ultra math challenge, help me 😢😢😢.

[@jansteyaert1]

except from the greed only I love this raid, I feel some of the boss mechanics (not the math) are pretty decent and actually raise the difficulty of the raid, I actually need to pay attention :) If construct for example had a hard enrage and hit harder he'd make a decent sigma boss. I'm really liking these new mechanics And he has the best dance moves EVER

[@paweeeeee4201]

Nood question, how did you set up your hotbar like that? Not showing the empty blocks? Tweaked the transparency and the skills went transparent as well.

[@grumpyscrub7415]

The first boss is proof that, if Square Enix wants to make those huge boss models, which I'm totally fine with, they need to allow us to zoom out more. It is so hard to see that vase... And why not? I want to see the full models of those good looking bosses they make. Yiazmat for example. So hard to fit this thing on the screen, but I want it to! It would also improve the tab targetting on those big models... Please Square Enix!

[@JohnnyDefh]

Man! You give those tips and mechanics a nice explanation! I am just new to the game but damn, I was just curious about the raids. Liked and subscribed man!

[@flynndwt2298]

Hey my man! I have something that's on my mind that I've been thinking about.... anyway we can talk so you can check it out? It's about future in game dlc for ff14 o.O

[@Kingstalk]

so you can avoid computation by standing outside ? after you answered 1 correct ?

[@besame5504]

Killed 2 bosses first day and it was an aoe nightmare. Not interested and doing hunts for books to upgrade my 360 to 370.

[@nyanfish1]

New to the game, do you usually raid with guild or is there matchmaking like lfr? Is it easy to find pickup groups if there isn't?

[@Ice-Climber]

I still don't get how people can fail the kind of mathematics a 5-year-old is taught...

[@ashurayasha]

Hmm! (Eat the Tide Pod, eat the Tide Pod, eat the Tide Pod, eat the Tide Pod, eat the Tide Pod, eat the Tide Pod.)

[@aubriesimmons3781]

My brother played with you Mrhappy his characters name is LaArgonar Dakwhil 😊

[@GHRebel]

tanking the raid, nice some tank gear! of course i won't get it, the bard without tank class needs it...thanks greed only! besides that: cool raid though ;)

[@xXCocoHimeXx]

This raid was surprisingly not that bad. Though I screwed up on the 3rd and 4th boss a lot because of the math and I was not sure what to do with the plus and minus marks. Anyhow, thanks for the clear guide :)

[@sonicfire45]

Note: If you're in the air during Cyclone (AKA if you fail Magnesis), You'll get thrown out the arena and instantly die...so make sure to not fail the 2nd Magnesis before Cyclone (Or any other casts after Adds)

[@ryanclifton4810]

I was pleasantly surprised that I completed this the first time through. Not overly hard. As a heals, the hardest part was keeping the same three guys up throughout the fights. No hate on them, but that says something about the fights themselves.

[@capitalG386]

so a dungeon of basically all - dodge the everything - and kill the adds asap lol - or rather i should say raid as an aside - lol the feels when they revisit things from old entries in a new game in a way you didnt fully expect

[@Gemini_Godhand]

This is the most fun dying in a raid I have ever had. After this guide watch and see the salt get showered in the chat logs. Possibly against me.

[@wearwolf4202]

1 is only divisible by itself and 1 therefore it is prime. Also because its always been

Very nice cant wait to get my new gtx 1060 6gb to play this new patch. :)

[@Nettless]

I love construct 7

[@diamonddynamo9611]

Just ticking these off the list to get my resistance weapon, thanks man

[@itisrai4839]

At least it feels like a combination of Omega and Sigma Savage ;-;

[@LuceDGooseVT]

Am I the only one who isn't bothered by the greed only rule? I understand if people need gear, but there are multiple ways to get the gear you need for your main job. I main tank, and I already got my maxed anemos gear for DRK, so I'm just tanking this raid for my SAM and DRG.

[@dislikebutton7762]

I got thrown by yiazmat out of the area....it was fun...

[@jacobkern2060]

1:04 OMEGALUL

[@Marceleleco16]

Back in my day Yiazmat took 10 hours to die...

[@AxleStukov]

A little clarifying, I don't think Yiazmat actually takes damage from his heart being destroyed. Since i've seen him be between 48% to up to the 61% in your video. He just loses a shitton of maximum HP, roughly 80% of his original maximum. So around 90% HP during the add phase will be 50% after the heart. While like 92% during adds will be about 60% post adds.

[@kikixchannel]

If he loses his maximum HP, there are four possibilities. 1) His current life stays the same, up to a maximum. At that point he would just "heal up" in %'s, because he'd end up with full HP at that point (since his "current" life before the reduction will be higher than his new maximum). Clearly not the case here. 2) His life is decreased proportionately, so a decrease of 80% of max HP is going to decrease the current HP by 80%. At that point his HP does not change. If it was at 90% it will stay at 90%. 3) His current life is decreased by the same amount as his maximum is decreased by. At this point, if it's a decrease by 50% or more, he would instantly die even if at max HP, so not the case. 4) His life is reduced by the same amount, and he is dealt damage on top of that. That would result in his % of life being lower after lowering his maximum life.

[@AxleStukov]

Yeah now that ACT is patched, Yiazmat has something interesting going on with his HP. on a wipe at 90% he had taken 15mil HP, suggesting 150mil total HP. But ACT is displaying his HP as only 30 mil. On the next pull we had him at 87% before the heart, and he was at 38% after the heart with 0 change to his displayed numerical HP total. Total damage taken on the kill by Yiazmat was 30 mil HP. Suggesting what's really happening is the game is lying about how much HP he has and is like displaying the percentage as if he had 5x the numerical HP he actually has until the heart phase is over.

[@neobahumuth6]

It's a possibility, for ages devs have used this tricks that it wouldn't surprise me

[@jvask33zie]

Hey guys watch your health

[@TheGameKat]

It's an AoEpocalypse

[@BigWillTheThrill]

2 plus 2 is 4, minus 1, thats 3. Quick maffs.

[@Max-fr6ny]

Does Yaizmat have 50 million hp?

[@AceStrife]

I have no idea how the math part of the fight was supposed to even be known on the fly. I didn't even notice my health change at all and thought we just had to stand in the circles to match what he asks for, only learned coming to look at a guide, unlike everything else in the raid. Also, movement based attacks should not be part of this game.. at least until the netcode/server performance is dramatically improved. The wildly varying 300-700ms built-in latency that affects everyone has been disastrous enough trying to move out of static AoEs.. but moving out of attacks that move dynamically? Just nightmarish. How this hasn't changed after 5 years, even after the database move (which was a downgrade for most of the US population in the end), is beyond me. If only they put the amount of effort into the technical side of their game that they do to the lore/story part..

[@Mrhappy1227]

Just to be clear, the game only has a 100ms built in latency. Any issues with avoiding AoEs is definitely related to personal net issues (which can be a player's ISP having poor routing) or individual player skill.

[@AceStrife]

Source for the built-in 100ms? Tried to google about it but only found a single user post on reddit that casually mentioned it. As for personal net issues.. no. The game's been this way since 1.0 back when the servers were hosted in Japan (and boy did it feel *horrible*). From 2.0's launch and its regional servers, things were way better than 1.0, but still not good. Prior to the move, the servers used to be close to me (

[@Mrhappy1227]

Servers were publicly stated to be 300ms just after the 2.0 launch, with 2.1 featuring the change to 100ms built in latency. That statement should be in one of the Live Letters between those two patches. Of course personal latency plays a role here as well, but if a player can't do a movement based mechanic, they can't blame the game for it. Its always going to be either their ISP routing or their own personal lack of skill. If it was as widely restrictive, players wouldn't be beating all of these encounters at all.
