The chaos and frequent dying during the first couple of weeks of a new alliance raid is so fun in its own chaotic way.
do not worry, this one make me question my IQ too, and it's not my first time XD
Edit: if there's one thing all bosses shared, it's that they all bait us with at least one mechanic.
Seeing Azeyma: MOMMY?
I missed out on doing the alliance raid day one because it was locked way into the MSQ so when I got to it on day two we actually didn't wipe on a single boss because at least some of the people there knew the mechanics. When SE compared this raid to the first tier of Ivalice I can totally see it because honestly I found the first Nier raid more difficult in that groups actually were wiping on certain fights into the second week as well as the fights taking a lot longer because the bosses were super spongy for a first tier. The question for me is if the difficulty will continue to scale in the same way as the Ivalice raids as the first one really wasn't all that bad but the second one had mechs that would kill you and the third one was killing folks all the way up until they added echo to it and STILL people fail at the Thunder God fight. All they need to do to ruin a bunch of people's days is put in mechanics that split the responsibility of the raid into multiple groups and then make it so that if one group fails then it wipes the entire raid. THEN, we can call this the successor to the Ivalice raids as far as difficulty goes.
Best 1st alliance raid of FFXIV imo
Curious, do you have your gshade settings anywhere?
I love this raid so much. SE did such a fantastic job and the Nald'Thal fight music is some of the best in the game. The mechanics we got are so much fun.
This 24 man so far is so good. And we go straight to the bosses with 4 in each one. Great change imo. There really is no reason to have trash (unless there's a great lore reason. Like for Nier we fought a lot of the Nier robots as mobs, which is fine. ), rather just have 4 bosses.
Thal's balls are literally just Nald's head btw LUL
I did with a group going full blind, it was great seeing a gigantic pack of people dying together every single time xD
We only wiped thrice though, once to Rhalgrs knockback, another one to Rhalgrs meteorite smash, and last one to balance. Loved every second of it!
ah yes naldthal the most troll fight of the a raid, the other boss bait their mechanics. he straight up changes the tells during casting 😆.
This raid was AMAZING! And usually the third raid is the best of all three in each set, so I can't wait to see what they've got in store for future parts!
Ah, the new raid is so much fun, honestly. I can't even be mad when I die since the music is so good XD
PS: Some of us did do it blind but some of the mechanics used were done in Bozja. It just hurts way less now XD
In the balance mechanic, I knew there would be at least 1 person who would troll so at the last moment I switched and I was right, saving the run. No commendations btw Sadge.
I don't think the music in this is better than the Nier raids, but I also have a particular attachment to Nier music.
Being sleep deprived doing Byregot for the first time really questioned my sanity.
Floor was nice though.
Haha! Too much PvP confusing keybinds is such a mood XD
Glad you're enjoying the content this patch!
I noticed for multiple bosses they're adding tank AOE busters after mechanics that require entire party to reposition. Adds a lot of tension for party to figure out who should move
"My keybind are differeeent… too much PvP….!!"
lol I feel that too XD
We had someone with the dorito so we followed him. Only 2 deaths on my end but the vuln stacks i had… T-T
LOL I really wanted to see you do this too
This is my favorite FFXIV alliance raid tier, and I can only imagine it getting better!
Ah yes the chaos of this raid is so fun and I love it lol
I am loving 6.1 & the Alliance Raid so much. I am shamelessly gushing, but the AR is probably my favorite so far & the MSQ is great. It has so much potential & Really feels like the start of a new story, complete with all the excited anticipation of a new adventure. Yet it doesn't forget or Lessen everything that you've done getting there ❤
Quazii never change <3 <3 you give is hope
"This feels like p3s"
Lol so I'm not the only one with p3s PTSD 😂
This is perfectly normal, don’t worry. 😁 It’s got nothing to do with IQ and everything to do with, move before you can think. 😅 Just go by instinct. And when all else fails, follow the party. 🤣 And after many a death, eventually, you succeed. Jokes aside, I go into every new raid expecting to spend 70% of the time on the floor. Over time it gets better lol. Hopefully….. 😳 Thanks for sharing your fun experience!
jebaited 🙂
Have you done Ex yet? Thats also lovely fight…
btw, you have to look what head is active to do mechanics at last boss. Nald has blue lights crown(blue mechanics), Thal is golden, red crown(red mechanics).
How does your brain work so fast?! I had no fucking clue what was happening in any of these bosses 😅
Does IQ go up by 1000 with each vuln stack? 😛
Holy shit, you ex-WoW players keep moving and spinning bosses like they where carousels. Lol.
This alliance raid is incredible.
Whether its actually better than Nier though, we'll have to wait untill all stages are out. Not to mention Nier was still popular after EW releaee. In the end, the Glamour potential will be what if a raid pertains its relevance.
But so far so raid is pure majestic 🔥
Aglaia made me turn down the player effects for the first time in a long time to see what the !@#% was going on. The last time that happened was Dun Scaith.
I had so much fun doing this blind with my FC. I spent half the time dead and the other half oom rezzing the healers for all three alliances lol
The FC VC was chaotically fun xD
Homie you gotta stop spinning the boss when it's not necessary. Those poor melee.
I think this is the first time I’ve seen you in such chaos Quazi and I can relate to it! Otherwise this raid is just purely amazing. The fights, landscapes, music, boss design, and so on. Everything was just on another level so kudos to SE for giving us this amazing content :))
bait and switch mechanics remind me of the kefka fight, you think the attack is going where the marker is but its the safe spot thats not a safe spot that the attack is actually hitting.
I died no less than 427 billion times my first time through this raid. 🤪
Every boss was so unique, I loved every chaotic minute. I brought my scholar in on launch day and, along with the healers in Alliance A, we dragged the group over the finish line with zero wipes, somehow. Nothing feels more big-brained than solving a mechanic 19 other people die to. Yes I'm bragging I'm only a green parser let me have this :V
