  1. This really is the first 24 player raid and made sure to suffer for everybody.
    (The boss after this also punishes early pull if Alliance A isn't there or few as the buff to hit the boss will not reach making it a very awkward fight)

  2. Takes you 3 seconds to type a message in your party chat "Any first-timers?" 9/10 will pipe up and say they don't know and you can give them quick explanations for shit like this.

  3. I had a run with sprouts before where they endlessly complained that these raids need more hand holding lol. The fun part is to discover these mechanics by observation or by trial and error.

  4. Never thought I see myself getting a video recommended of my alliance getting wiped lol. I'm the astrologian in c alliance. Was extremely confused when we all got one shot. Edit: just looked back at the recording I saved. It's not my alliance . Just an extremely similar situation except B alliance did manage to get in but no one stood on the platform and it wiped us in c alliance.

  5. This sort of happened in one of my runs recently, cept people didn't know to split into alliances and had like 17 people in one pad area leaving not enough to activate the other pads. Then the big boys came out for a wipe. Round two, another early pull but a majority stayed behind the wall and let the early pullers bite it. Got it on the third try thankfully. First time I've seen a wipe at that part.

  6. Soo embarrassing….. 😑😑 it's not even the final boss… been a new players it's not an excuse the first time I did this raid I was so excited it was such a good moment ^^

  7. Why did I know before watching that it was some idiot pulling before all alliances were ready? 😀

    However, Square could easily fix this part with teleporting players to their specific area and not everyone to A. This is sloppy design.

  8. Whoa wait. Did NONE of B got to their spot? I saw them waiting at the entryway at the ready. But did they all get teleported to your side?

    Also, this is partially why I hate this alliance raid.
    I get it. It's the first alliance, some newbies will be there. They'll not know what to do or follow a crowd.
    But seriously.
    Don't be like the idiot that pulled on this part, Veteran or not. 😕

  9. Had this happen once, our groups tank went to B marker (we were Group A). The best part is that fight without a tank wasn't that bad, but when our tank went again to the wrong group in Walk of fire part, Me a DRG and and another DPS had to tank the Vassago, and our healers had to go complete healing spam mode to keep us alive, luckily they didn't get mad at us.

  10. So welcome to the NA or EU server where everyone loves to early pull and don't pay attention to the surrounding.

    The game actually punish you for not being patient and not aware of the surrounding so start getting used of that if you are from mmo where you can just pull whenever you want.

    (PS is not even the uploader fault of wipe it's other alliance that early pull)

  11. some people saying they’ve never seen this happpen, when this is probably how at least 1/3 of my runs here go 😭😂 esp with all the new players recently. tho i don’t really mind since it’s not like it’s ever happened twice in a row with the same alliance before and most people will understand after the first fk up ☺️

  12. I mean, even as a sprout, but a veteran MMO player, how the hell can you miss the Huge glowing A/B/C markers? Or the message that you are in group A/B/C??? I didn't know about the stand on the button, but was back there anyways as a caster.

  13. This issue not only in crystal tower raid, also happens in CLL in Dawon and Dalriada at Gabriel Kai. People loves to use auto move in these areas and they let it until reaching the boss, pulling them early

  14. AHAHAHA these raids are… good for seeing just how people can invent new ways to wipe or near-wipe. I was on this same one a couple weeks back when a sprout tank pulled King Behemoth back through the party to the entrance just as the rock drops happened. Somehow, some way, the healers just barely saved it from a wipe, though it was really close (and I was a floor tank monk – I run these to level my DPS offclasses – because I got cleaved and couldn't make it to a rock in time lol)

  15. I played this game in 2016 and when I first did this dungeon I never even seen a wipe at all not even during Flares.
    It's 2021 and I've seen more and more people wiping at dungeons like this.
    I don't know what to say, sure the quantity if players coming in FFXIV is great, but the quality?

  16. Its takes a few seconds to explain it, theres a really long run towards that area, and you always know that its coming up. Just /follow (or use a follow macro, or right click and follow) a partymate who knows where they're going and explain it in chat. Just say "Don't pull early or else its a wipe" and then "everyone go in the lane that correlates to the alliance letter in the top left".
