Interesting trivia, the vocals in the audio track of this fight are Yoshi P.
I definitely agree with the notion of finding a goal for yourself and then working towards it is the better way to enjoy games like these. For example I wanted the Fallen Angel Wings which take quite a while to get because of either gil/fates. But doing that bit by bit while also doing other smaller things sets up an enjoyable little story for you to enjoy.
Learning mechanics through trial and error is not bad. Dealing with the community while doing said above Savage mechanics is another ballpark.
byakko is easy.
i recommend farming weekly.
You absolutely chose the right fight to throw yourself into for higher content. My static gives it no respect because there’s so much room for error.
You might want to add some figbting games to your list in your "get gud" arc.
Its a genee where improvong feels extremely rewarding.
All this is absolutely true! I'm currently doing this exact thing too. For some reason, ever since 7.1 dropped, I've been thinking to myself, "Hey – I'm okay at the game, but I can be better, let's do this." So I've been working on my rotation, and been trying to dip my toes into harder content too, and I tank as well! The Jade Stoa Unreal was also the first thing I did above normal difficulty, so this is just really relatable right now as I work up the courage to find people to do Extremes and maybe Chaotic with.
There is an easy answer. It's called make social interaction a thing again by removing dungeon finder.
you should get a corsair scimitar mmo mouse if you used the naga @JMulls
3 brain cell remake describes my game play style too😂
im happy your getting into the harder content its the only thing that keeps me on this game and i love seeing new ppl in the raid scene hope to see you in one of my ultimate c41 parties
It could be a coincidence but they seem to specifically pick easy unreals in .1. In 6.1 it was Ultima Weapon extreme which was just as easy as this (and an excellent introduction to extreme difficulty.) The ones they put later were a little more difficult. Zurvan and Thordan specifically had to be progged for a little while.
I used to be terrified of harder content and tanking. The idea of joining PF on my own was uncomfortable, to say the least. But with ShB, I found I wanted the gwibs from the ex trials. It wasn't always smooth sailing, there were some less-than-chill groups, but the first time I cleared one, while current, was just such a great feeling that I was hooked. I had to see how far I could push myself. Initially, I went on dps jobs out of comfort.
I just finished tanking my first savage tier, more often than not as MT, and had an absolute blast.
Despite being a somewhat-veteran in this game, Arcadion was actually my first time ever doing any kind of current Savages. Glad to say I had a blast and only gotta clear M4S now.
I honestly think party finder is what kills hardcore content.
Groups want efficiency, so new players have limited options and often have to play with other new players leading to more frequent mistakes.
Since I was off work for the holidays I tried the chaotic with a friend of mine and 80% of the day was spent waiting because someone would leave after 2 wipes on a group advertised as first timers going in blind.
The expectation to never fail and abillity of party finder to be picky about who you play with is such a huge barrier.
If I could just use duty finder to auto search a group and give it a few tries over a week I'm pretty sure I'd not only play more often, but also beat the fight in about 2-3 evenings of trying at maximum.
Inspirational, loved it! Just came back from WoW after a long break myself. Healer main.
this was good, your panic was very relatable lol. I also hope to start tackling harder content soon, fingers crossed for both of us.
This was refreshing, 14 is far from perfect but it’s stuff like this that I’ve always loved about the game, glad you stuck it out and were able to achieve something personally, that’s what gaming is about at the end of the day!
Reddragon.
much sturdier than a naga and without this stupid fcking piece of garbage software that is called Razor synapse
Last video was hilarious
Great video and your tip at 11:00 could also be applied im real life 😊
Oh boy have I got a lot of thoughts on going into harder content as a new player. First of all let me say I think you’re going about it in the right way, you should definitely work your way up and starting with unreal is a really good starting point imo. If even a small portion of people had done this before chaotic PF might not have been as cooked as it is, realistically chaotic is not that bad but this is as a person that clears savage and ultimate on patch. There is nothing more telling that chaotic needs some sort of requirement such as clearing the most recent ex for access than being in an enrage to clear party and watching a different alliance fail literally the first mechanic of P2 causing a wipe then seeing a disband after 20 minutes of a 90 minute instance for actual days. I’m all for players getting into harder content but endgame raiding is something that needs to be worked up to and this is a great example of that, keep climbing brother
Your perspective on this fight is amazing and really funny LOL
Would be cool to see these kinds of vids for other fights you try out! And if you ever want an extra body for anything feel free to hit me up 🙂
My struggles with getting into the harder content is the lingo in this game, sometimes I'm like "wtf are these ppl talking about?" Then we wipe lol
easy or not it's a clear and that's worth celebrating. all the small wins add up and certainly count and i think generally society downplays a lot of that and focus on the top tier spectacles. i'm pretty new to hard content and so having 1 or 2 people shout LFG at me when i get a first clear on something gives me a boost. then i'll go try and reclear the fight to make sure i'm actually internalizing it and not relying on carries haha. once i realized that hey i'm not so bad, the hard content got more and more addictive lol. so with all that said, LFG congrats on your clear!
