That is the point of Ultimate. It is for hardcore gamers, not for faint heart players.
Big up patato chan!
There is absolutely nothing wrong with using plugins, a clear is a clear as long as you're the one doing the clearing part.
Did you…..unpotato????
Yeah mistakes get worse the further in the fights you get. My static did TEA and any mistake in say wormholes or even the last phase means you need to go through that first 10mins of the fight again and progress somewhat slows down because you have less and less pulls per raid night, but finally getting it down is best feeling in the world.
Man I wish you all the best! It’s an incredible fight! You will clear it, just keep pushing! And a clear is a clear, don’t listen to the haters rofl, I’ve done it both ways, it just doesn’t matter, get your clear and hold your head high, it’s something to be proud of!
I do wanna say, for anyone like me, my work schedule doesn’t allow for getting into a static. I work a rotating shift where I change every 7 days so it’s pretty much impossible lol. BUUUUT you don’t neeed a static, the pug community is absolutely amazing and depending on what data center you are on, there are phenomenal discord’s devoted to ultimate pugging, just something to keep in mind. Good luck everyone!
I recently started progging UWU, and yes it is a machine gun of mechanics LOL
Hi Quazii , in case you see this msg i just wanted to follow up on the bad comment you've received about plugins. Even tho this is ultimate, this is old content for any hardcore raider like myself, we couldnt careless if you use plugin or not, people who gets trigger by this are probably people that just have cleared recently and just want to feel good about themself.. (those are the same people that need someone in the static to call every mechanic cause otherwise they will fail) Imo use them if you need them, don't if you don't need them, its a choice. At the end of the day a clear is a clear, What i would be looking for instead is clearing an ultimate fight on the current patch it gets release, this is where the real difficulty lies. Good luck in uwu! you got this bro 🙂
Reminds me of the fireside chats. We need those again.
Another important thing to keep in mind with is consistency
Uwu is really fen
I'm just glad I found my static for Ultimates.
Even though we took a break as a team here and there due to RL situations, we eventually come back, maybe with one or two reps.
Our thing is, you need to be comfortable with our humor and our style of progression.
We always have great DPS, this is a non-issue, but we love to joke around a lot.
Currently, we have 1 member that joins us during Savage only and we rep him with our Ultimate only member that has his own static, but he is the only one that does Ultimate in that group. Works out for us.
Seems this will carry through into Endwalker, as well.
Find people you can have fun with, is really what I'm trying to say. 😀
Oh, this new format for your thought sharing is really nice. Im also progging uwu too, at titan part, and your thoughts for ultimate as well as for statics are on point. At the moment, it seems we all agree in regressing our progression because 1 member has irl stuff and cannot join us anymore. Good thing our prog is the casual/chill route. Otherwise, things will happen xD
I haven't touched ultimates yet but E8S is similar in that you have to pull off 8-10 minutes of fight relatively flawlessly to get time to learn and execute new mechanics in the final part of the fight. A marathon is absolutely the right comparison to make.
My static went through 6 members on our tea prog until we finally managed to settle on people who meshed with our energy and fortitude as players. Thankfully those people will probably always be around now as a safe place to learn and fail. Those who left the group because we didn’t clear fast enough for them, and had toxic attitudes, never managed to clear tea despite joining new groups also.
Ultimates are difficult, but the real difficulty is learning how to play with other people not only during the highs but the low lows. When someone wipes the group 4 times in a row and everyone can roll their eyes but just laugh it off in the long run and maintain friendships. Those lessons are the true reward IMO. The pretty weapon is just the cherry on top.
For Titan, just use whatever plug-in Quazii.
Trust me when I tell you that 90%, if not more, of the population that has cleared Titan section has used some form of plug-in, whether it be themselves or someone else using something and calling it all out for them. Hell, there are so many that rely on almost everything being called out for them and don't even know the fight properly even now.
You put these people in random groups and they will fail.
I got through Titan originally on a pug group (before I finally found my static) and I did it without plug-ins, the old fashion way. But the moment the plug-in that puts numbers on 3 players came out, others would use it and I didn't mind seeing them numbers over my head. It really is just for that 1 mechanic.
I don't like ACT call outs myself and do not use them, but there are only 2 things I will purposefully use it for currently, 1) Titan jails in UWU and 2) Nael in Ucob, as I will not read all them text boxes and figure out what Nael is going to do on those phases, no thanks.
Also, let's not even get to the pretenders that will be asking you to do it "legit" as some of these players probably bought their clears and/or had a friend, or significant someone, do it for them while playing in their account. Quite a few out there.
So ya, just use it, there are harder things past that point to worry about anyway.
I loved this kinda video. Listened to it while driving home.
As I said to you in stream. It’s easy finding 7 other players who are decent. It isn’t easy finding 7 other players who are decent who you wanna spend X hours for Y days per week. That’s where the challenge lies
No the decision on using a tool to assign you titan gaol positions is not irrelevant. It is cheating and should not be supported. It goes beyond callouts or other things that are borderline and just solves the mechanic for you. I don't find that okay.
Not to mention that going by priority isn't even hard in the first place (imo).
And this has nothing to do with proving anyone or anything, but a thing just being straight up a cheat
I had to find an UWU group to not get burnt out on my TEA group of friends who were just progging soooo slow. 30 hours total and just finally made it to limit cut, which is super slow.
Theres no shame in using those plug ins in UWU lol
Only reason anyone ever cleared without them is because we didnt have them when the fight launched, but nowadays its basically the standard to use for UWU.
Hi Quazii! Will we see your Savage omega runs here in youtube?
Wow you’re already taking on ultimate!
Hey @quazii! I just got into raiding, but I heard my data center is mainly for RPers so hmmm might be rough… Anyway have an awesome day!
I agree with you Quazii happen with me in Savage ,I never tried Ultimate not because I don't have motivation but more about time…I don't have it, Full-time worker with other hobbies that is not only gaming I don't have time for Ultimate .Static also in important for me because if I don't chemistry with all static(especial with my co-tank) I would jump out very soon! Amazing content ,keep going Quazii
Great video. Great music choice as well. Love Shingo Nakamura =]
My rule of thumb for statics is that we laugh when we die or it won’t last.
I wouldn't even worry about the plugin at all cause even with it people still wipe to it constantly like no joke…
Don't let the haters get to you. Support your team and keep working hard till you get it done. Ultimate is really hard and you're pretty much dead on about team building. It's very difficult to clear if even one person gets impatient from wipes. It's ultimately a team effort to get every mechanic on farm in order to clear. Depending on the fight, that could take weeks (TEA has a few mechanics like this), so patience is very important
I was not expecting the mom's spaghetti reference. That was fun, good video Quazii.
