As a retired ultimate raider I can absolutely agree that the majority of the difficulty is around scheduling and persistence. The fights aren't really THAT hard, it's just they're really long. If you beat your head against it long enough it will fall, you just have to find 7 other people willing to hit their head enough times
@Double Cheeseburger The main "difficulty" I'd say comes from the people rather than the fight itself. Making sure the 7 other people are motivated to do it, making sure they're studying the fight, going over the strats, ready to come on time and come consistently. Making sure people are progging at a similar pace and no one person is significantly impacting the progress of the entire group. That 7 other people element really adds the highest difficulty
@@notoriousotaran8015 You have to set the president from the start. Elect a leader who makes final decisions on everything. Proper discussion before your 1st pull is paramount. Everyone needs to know the extreme importance of communication. You need to be able to effectively understand what went wrong on every pull without creating division. Individuals need to be honest when causing the wipe as well as speaking up when either they don't know what happened or don't understand the mechanic. D Lastly, don't move on until every single person fully understands the mechanic and their job or else many unessesscary wipes incur
It’s not about defining my own worth..it’s about fun, firstly, and secondly it’s about flashing that shiny weapon that the vast majority of the playerbase will never obtain because most players in FF14 are ABSOLUTE TRASH DOG WATER players and they do get jealous of the weapons..they’ve said so on many occasions and every excuse they give as to why they don’t care is literally just them coping with never being able to clear difficult content
@@raviolijesus6181 As a person who has completed a lot of top tier content across multiple MMORPGs and such... it becomes worth a lot less when you realize that only the player base of such game is going to care. I'd be more than happy to carry people to get such transmogs/glams, but at the end of the day, when the computer turns off, it's pretty much gone. Then you're back to square one, just like any other game.
im gonna be honest most people wont have the same luck as you did. On top of them carrying you through the fight damage wise (but lets be honest damage isnt even a factor anymore in old ultimates), you also had two streamer friends with stacked players who are good. Not everyone is gonna have that luck, but still hopefully for those who continue to pursue for a clear will eventually get it.
I feel like that’s a thing that doesn’t get brought up that much. Streamer privilege is a very real thing. Not even to validate people who say his clear is legitimate, because it is, but having acres to a really skilled group doesn’t happen that often
@Grand Ruby streamer privilege is 100% a thing. Again I don't mean to be rude but they did get carried on damage, their log provides the proof. Any regular player would've probably gotten the boot, in this case they didn't because again, streamer privilege and having connections within the XIV content creator space. No regular player will have that outlet of players available let alone that luck to not get replaced by someone better.
dont know why ppl cry out about luck, old ultimates dont need anyone to carry it anymore, random ppl in pf will get 10 clears before a casual GOOD static even clear it their first time only speaking for older ones, dsr and top now are different topic go in pf, get your own clear, its not even remotely challenging
@@Temptest09 he's not capping tho. Fights like UCOB, UWU, TEA and DSR are puggable here on JP DC. People here also agree to use 1 common strat for every ultimate fight. As for DPS check, it is also really non-existent for UCOB and UWU. Trust me, you just need time to clear ultimate fights. If you don't, don't do it because the prog is time consuming.
My Piece of advice would be that if you want to try Ultimates, definitely, DEFINITELY start with UwU (Also the name is just short for "Ultima Weapon Ultimate" instead of the Duty Name). UwU is a short fight, and has a lot of smaller, fast phases, which makes progressing feel pretty good early on, since you'll hit a lot of big milestones. Difficulty-wise, it is also the closest to Savage.
I Think ultimate mechanically is perfect for what it is, but the real issue is nobody has TIME anymore for scheduled raiding. all the actually mature people who are fun and chill you'd want to raid with are too busy struggling to survive in real life and make ends meet. The real ultimate is even finding a raid group for savage at all, it's just not viable anymore to do so.
This is an awesome video seeing your growth from egging you on to clear P4S to you now spreading that same message to other people that are scared to try that you can always get better with effort. Great video Kou
As someone who loved challenges, I ended up clearing the first 3 Ultimate raids within 3 months of each other. Reclearing them proved to me how much of a memory test it was and once you can do it once, you can do it 1000 times over.
I would still recommend UWU to anyone who is interested, it is by far the easiest ultimate. As a casual savage raider, it took me and my two friends about a month of weekend grinding clear it. I recommend tessan twintails’ guide on it for what to do. Dont be discouraged and give it a shot!
I felt that part about time crunch. I was doing UCoB back in Shadowbringers and my group got up to the final phase. But there was just one issue. Endwalker was right around the corner. We didn't get the clear before the early access and never got back together ^^; I still want to go back in and get that clear but I also took a little break from raiding for the first year of Endwalker.
I recognize the paladin in ur vid!! They helped me get my first TEA clear a few days ago. Congrats on both ulti clears, it's super impressive that you did UWU right away after beating Ucob :D
unless they stream high end content as their main thing this is kind of every xiv streamer. zepla, the wow peeps coming over and trying it like rich, kou; they're all casual to slightly above average, then get a very smooth and sped up ticket to ultimate clears cause of clout. don't blame them but these videos are always so... well, you know. Just say thank you for getting you the clear and leave it at that.
@@Kougaon I promise ultimates are more satisfying and fun when you aren't being carried through it. The memories of struggle and perseverance with your team is the reward, not the weapon or title.
Meanwhile im struggling finding dedicated daytime raiding group in JP, especially on weekend daytime Can't do late nights progging anymore since i full WFO now, and need to wake up super early in the morning.
I started UCoB through PF on a whim, and got up to the start of phase 3 with purely PF for the longest time. I ended up getting a static for it and we were doing good, but things fell apart before we even ended up hitting phase 3 (we reached ravensbeak on Nael). Felt sour about it for a long while, but when I hop back into XIV on the 1st I'm finally going back to the CoB, with PF more than likely. I WILL get my UCoB.
also if you take anything away from this comment, don't be scared to jump into ultimates if you want to do so. I'm of the firm belief that anybody can clear an ultimate if you know your buttons, and you can put together the puzzle that is the fight. Also go do Coils of Bahamut. Unsync it with your 90 job or a buddy, the story is great :U
Grats on the clear! One think I'll also recommend is don't fully push off pf. To my knowledge most data centers have dedicated communities that compile standardized strats for pf, for Primal we have UPR. TEA and DSR are very difficult but possible in pf, and UwU and UCoB are very common to see and aren't too bad atp. If you want extra practice (which you can never get enough of imo) or can't find/can't/don't want to join a static, pf is absolutely a viable option for ults.
@@Kougaon on a serious note, your advice is pretty helpful because I struggle with schedules as well LOL (hopefully 6.5+ will be my "lets tackle ultimate" time..)
My first Ultimate run was before Endwalker in a dead month after 5.5 to 6.0. It was UWU and we bring 2 people that never savage before and with total 8 people (all member) never cleared the fight before (7 people never tasted ultimate) It took us 6 months to actually clear the fight (our first clear was actually AFTER Endwalker released and we need to adjust our rotation to the new one). A lot of things happen, there's a fight, a big fight between close friend. Even I got into a fight myself. But I guess that just what happen when you are on something for a very long time (with slow progress) and facing what seemed like a deadline (Endwalker release) one of our member even left (luckily someone who have cleared are willing to help as a replace). And honestly, that feeling when you actually cleared after all what happen with that very same group is kind of irreplaceable. Fortunately my 2nd ultimate which is TEA only took us 2 months to clear.
Congrats again on the clear Kou! I said it before when we got the clear and I will say it again here. You had some of the cleanest play I have ever seen from someone who had never been to Golden Bahamut before. You absolutely killed it. You earned that clear and I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to have helped with it!
When it comes to finding the players, we have two flavors of hurt: party finder and statics -- party finder for people who don't have friends, and statics for people who have enough friends to risk losing some.
My free company is very encouraging about the story, if I'm having a hard time with a boss I'll borrow someone OP and they're always like "Don't worry about us, enjoy the cutscenes."
I hope to clear TEA one day because I love the way the weapons look, and it would make me feel good about myself but I'm still a sprout so i have a long way to go.
Ultimates can either be some of the best experience you can have in this game or the worst, all depending on your group. I played with a group I didn't enjoy playing with for DSR and even tho we got the kill, it would have been so much better if I actually enjoyed playing with them. On the contrary, I spent 6 months+ killing ucob with different groups (after it took roughly 30 days for my first one) because I was helping a lots of friends do the fight and it was the most fun I've had in 14 to date.
I wish I had the confidence to believe I could even attempt these... I've only ever cleared one savage tier, and even though all my friends say I'm good enough to do Ultimate it's just hard for me to believe it. Great vid though, always impressed and inspired watching people give it a shot and succeed against the odds.
Don't let that get you down. Ultimates are entirely different from Savage in almost every way. The challenge more comes from the length of the raids rather than the actual difficulty. They're still difficult, but the biggest factor of whether or not you'll beat them is simply time. Dedication beats Ultimates, not skill. :)
Bro, you cleared a savage tier congrats. Hmu if you're NA and we'll make a group to get your feet wet if you want :) You've def got what it takes if you managed to clear a final savage boss. My gf went from sprout to to heavens legend in 2022 with not that much video game experience so I'm sure you can clear an ultimate too
Hey pal if you have a savage tier cleared you're more than ready to clear ult content, like the video says it's not a matter of skill, it's a matter of determination, study the fight and just keep going till clear, that's how you do it, if you go to a static and it doesn't work, you just keep searching for another one, or pf it, if you keep at it one day you'll clear all ults.
@@blackfox4138this!! I cleared dsr and im a green/blue parser. Dps checks are super ez. It just takes time bc the fights longer and it takes more time to prog bc prog points are locked behind like 10mins of fight lol
Ik this is very late but trust yourself. It's just a game, it's fine to make mistakes and learn from it. If your static gets toxic then so what? Just do it and eventually get the clear.
All those numbers one may post in savage shouldnt deter anyone from doing ultimates as they are different from each other. I like to optimize my numbers in savage and thats all I need to make me have fun and feel good. You dont have to be that type of player and you can still clear ultimates. Just need a lot of time, patience and dedication.
I hear you…I want to clear ucob…I am about half way through the fight and it looks like it will be a while before pf picks up again. Bahamut prime is a pain to prog
For anyone that sees this and is scared to do these things, pf really isn't that bad esp for dsr, top and fru. It does require a lot of time still but it's very doable and if you're a fast learner you can just hop from prog point to progpoint groups and they're always active. And if you're slow you're not holding 7 people back because you can once again just hope into groups around your own progpoint till you are ready to proceed to the next. I cleared ultimates with multiple groups and started doing pf since right before dawntrail and it can be really fun, especially if you find like 1, 2 or even 3 people that prog around the same speed as you that you can go with. Progging in pf doesn't mean you have to go alone and a lot of statics just get stuck on the schedule/speed of learning balancing. If you like ultimate raiding but have trouble with groups, don't be scared to hop into pf, not everyone in there is a pro player either and you're not expected to be one, just don't prog lie and read up on mechs unless you're in a blind prog group.
Yeah. It’s just something to sink your time in… something to work towards until new patches come out. I use to get so stressed out by ultimates. Making a static, clearing as fast as I could and then I get the title wear it for a week and then it loses flavor like old gum and play something else.
i just recently got quad legend and im in TOP right now, DSR was probably the most committed to anything ive been in my entire life lmao, 3 months of prog and the clear at the end was the most excited i think ive ever been. TOP is gonna be a great time i can already tell
this man is up in here saying he sucks as if we didn't toss him into p4s right after he cleared p3s before he even had a chance to really look at mechs and he did better than some of the people who HAD progged it before
I mean ERP is way harder than Ultimate's.not only do you have to schedule but you have to write??? and make it sound good??? lol Srsly tho, i was so happy to be there that stream, im proud, you really worked hard and while I know im forever away from savages and ultimates, a 2x a week 3 hr run while long is more possible than i thought (as most people i know have many days a week 5-7hrs which is like naw) gives me hope Can't wait to see you clear the others one day :3
Congrats - but I am starting to feel in this game that the way to clear content is to be a streamer. LOL But ultimates do seem like a major time commitment and not just for prog. They seem very long.
Nah you can definitely clear without being a streamer LOL. It helped me get the clear faster but it doesn’t mean it’s impossible. If you wanna get it just put in the time! You got this :D
Scheduling is no joke, as I am one who is across the pond from the people who were progging UWU. I was up between 1-3am and felt horrible because I lacked focus from being tired. While I was happy to figure out Garuda's mechs within my first ever attempt, I felt pathetic having to drop out on only the second day of prog but I had to put my health first, it didn't feel right giving my worst when everyone else was giving their best. I was also..EXTREMELY intimidated (tho that is my own issue to tackle) and while everyone was super nice and helpful my brain loves to believe otherwise. As a player who's not even a year old into the beautiful community, I hope to come back when I am fully ready. To achieve a place on the list of many who have conquered one of these demonic hellspawn runs would mean a lot to a shy pessimistic bastard like me.
True, Static is all about atmosphere in the party, skill is not really an issue(unless you fail at the same mech for god damn9+th time). UCOB was like the most difficult when DSR hasn't come out yet. but the thing is DSR and UCOB there are some mech, which you'll feel RNG that you're gonna die or gonna pass, that's why they're difficult.
Honestly I want to do UCOB, I just like on how the weapon, but sadly whenever trying to find others, they just don't either or just intimidate me sometimes, its just sometimes I get sadden even my friend told me on not to do it since its not worth it, but I truly want to do it, even thought I will failed, I gotta learn some how, and the whole point is to learn and do it again
skill 1000% matters but not in the context most would think. for the most part, when forming a group to prog you don't want to have a huge disparity in player skill. people aren't going to enjoy the experience if they are too far ahead or behind. so try to get people who are around the same level (or patient high level players) when scouting for players, logs matter but don't use funny numbers completely. look at who they may be playing with and ask their old raid mates how they vibe. you want to weed out any toxic players. it also helps to see how long they may be playing and what they may already be familiar with
This happened to me. He's just like me fr fr. I did pf clear for uwu because of a time crunch for doing 6.2 since the 6.2 static's time schedule was going to be really unstable. It was like 12 hours a day in pf hell for four days straight to get from annihilation to clear. It was suffering but it also feels nice to carry the uwu stick to trick people into thinking I know how to play blackmage. Anyway congrats!
I started UWU as my first Ult, I've gotten all the way to Titan gaols with purely just PF + 2-3 friends that are available sometimes, It's been such a bog but I hope to get my shiny weapon soon ;w;
This is how I felt about trying to get clear on Sephirot Unreal. So many failed groups, didn't know if I was going to get a clear before his time window was up, but I was like 'damn it, I want to beat this guy!" And man was it an awesome feeling when it happened. So many groups with people not sticking around, not getting mechanics, not doing what they should be doing, and then in the same night, clear and also a reclear. I am just sad they don't give out a title or any kind of reward to clearing Unreals, because it felt like such an accomplishment for me.
Ultimates are for when ya wanna let the game crush your nards constantly. Also, from what I know, they are quite rarely added into the game so there being 2 during the 6.x updates is maybe a first. I dunno though someone can correct me.
The difference between you and me as a player is that regardless of amount of jokes about having no friends you put out you're still a content creator that is watched by fair number of people who in turn would be pretty willing to help you. I am a bumfuck solo in an fc of people I barely know that do their thing. I have no platform to have a group of 7 whole people to put up with my bullshit and carry me through the fight. The fact that you got 7 people to clear the fight just to help you speaks volumes of difference between random player like me that has no friends and someone semi famous in ff14 circle like you. I don't want to sound rude and I appreciate the encouragement I just don't think you can clearly see the advantages of position you hold and some random player like me.
^this, as much as it is to hear compare to those of us who aren't deep into circles of 14 or aren't even know (even if we play the game a lot) you have that advantage for you. The rest of us just will never be lucky.
I started playing this game a long time ago, 2013 to be exact, and I used to play all by myself in an fc of people I barely know that do their thing. I now have 2 ultimate clears (and advanced prog on the other two) and usually clear the tier in a timely manner. All pf. I made friends and run content with them as well but all of my clears have been of me just hitting my head on my keyboard and going on pf. The advantage Kou had on his clears just made them faster, not the difference between clear and no clear. Lastly, this game is extremely social, there are countless discord servers made for each ultimate progging with hundreds of members, vets and newbies, and they're all put publicly on PF, you can easily make friends there, or not! You're definitely not obligated to keep in contact with them after clearing. If YOU want to be a loner and not step into ultimates, thats YOUR choice, don't blame it on popularity, you're making a fool of yourself.
I dont even have an FC, barely know people in the game and still got myself my DSR clear without any previous ultimate experience. Sure, being ''famous'' can make it less painful to gather people to help, but have u tried being nice to people u meet at party finder? I swear u'll find alot of friendly good players there as well.
@@LuizHenrique-cj2qn i have actually, even messing on a savage night re-clear made me horribly afraid of pf without friends. (Someone said cuz I mess up ONCE that I shouldn't be in a re-clear party) Imagine if I mess up on ultimate fight. I also don't learn by watching others, I do it by dying to them. Even if I watch a guide it does absolutely nothing for me. I am very slow learner (even if I learn) and no one ever has patience for that.
I'm far too casual to do ults and savages I tried to do ucob and ruby weapon for the weapons. It is not for me. Doesn't help I'm an rdm main. Siding gnb rn
Eh... the tips are true for UWU / UCOB where it is more recoverable, currently. Maybe even TEA, not necessarily true for TOP / DSR. The issue with TOP / DSR is that they make consistancy 10x more important. If you aren't on top of things the ENTIRE time, you won't even be able to prog the later phases. And yes, it's possible you'll be able to bang your head against the wall, but at that point you might end up progging the fight for 2 years due to how key consistancy is.
It's all relative, I personally think savage raids are too hard, but then i suck at the game, I'm sure the top 1% probably think the same of anyone that can't clear ultimates. In ff14 you just have to accept that some content just isnt for you.
Imo consistent players is the biggest deciding factor whether you can stay long enough as a group for the clear or fall apart midways (or early ways?). A group of players starting to prog the fight but consistent enough to reach the prog point everytime will keep the morale high. But if you throw one inconsistent af player into the group, you will disband in less than a month. Ultimate is very punishing that if one player mess up, most of the time it's a wipe. Repeatedly failing on a mechanic that your group has cleared before feels bad, and you'll end up wasting time without any meaningful progress at all. That said, congratulations on the clear!
Big grats on the clears and a lot of this resonates with me as well and was very well put, but a few more notes: in the difficulty ranking, you put TEA above UCoB. I STRONGLY disagree. As someone who was able to go from BJCC prog to clear in about 2 days of PF, I can say with much confidence TEA is very much a memorization/study fight. The first two phases are by far the hardest in terms of actual mechanical execution and reaction times, while all of phase 3 and 4 are entirely just recognize where to go and then do it according to the strat you’re using. In some points of the fight, especially phase 4, the windows of execution are so wide I would literally pull up the toolbox/diagrams on my phone to check and then do it in game and still made it in time. I think one of the biggest factors of why the community perception is generally TEA>UCoB in terms of difficulty is simply the lack of good/extensive guides and resources for TEA. Additionally, according to XIVcollect, a sizable amount more people have actually cleared tea than cleared UCoB. While this isn’t solely tied to difficulty (more people might’ve cleared tea since they liked the rewards or the fight more) it’s important to remember UCoB has also been in the game much longer and yet still has been cleared significantly less. UCoB is still a challenge no matter how many times you do it simply due to the random variation of every major mechanic, and presents a unique challenge completely absent from the other ults in Nael quotes. While I know that generally people use ahhh goofy 3rd party programs to just call them out, as a console player in PF that wasn’t an option for me and greatly added to the difficulty. Finally, UCoB has the best weapons and that’s on god 🙏
Yeah it’s usually debated on whether TEA or UCOB is harder but for now I just settled upon the opinions of my raider friends but you could be right! Also you’re wrong and just a piss color enjoyer >:(
I hired raid boosters to play with me. So l get to play ast while avoiding having teammates holding me back. It worked great. I will do the same to ucob and probably tea. For dsr, if l still have thr interest after the dps check becomes easier to meey
whoever PF only all 4 raids is really a Gigachad because with no call out that man has a brain IQ of 100, a plus 100 if he is on console (that means 0 addons)
I wish I had the time Todo savages and ultimates like I love the game I love tanking but I can't really do any of the harder content because I don't have any time todo any content like this, the hardest fight that I have probably done is delubrum savage with black mage back in shadowbringers
God I love the mateira ultimate raiding PF scene; deadass will get people with over 60 totems come in and give you a hand because they like the fight. Like personally I've got like.... 18 totems? I still enjoy helping nael prog groups because its so funny watching people panic over quotes first time theyre in there LOL. It's a lot smaller DC but it also means you run into regulars who'll just pop in and help. I also think they're just some of the most fun I've had in a game, especially if its UCOB and im on RDM instead of tank and just playing damage control: the job LMFAO. I think the most deaths I've had (excluding the scripted one going into golden) was like 30. UCOB CAN BE CURSED AS HELL AND YOU CAN STILL CLEAR 10/10 FIGHT. Before I got my clear I had 3 5% wipes on golden which was............a time. Also you dodged the exaflare because they move in half circle rotations; you UNKNOWINGLY managed to do what's required for a mid dodge, for a wall dodge because you didn't hesitate - if you hesitated that second explosion would have killed you; the idea for mid dodging is to dodge into the back half of an explosion coming down a lane parallel to you. You do be gaming Kou 😂
Love these stories. I'm a little baby who just got my first Extreme clear and vids like these from all kind of skill level players really encourage me to try harder content!
ill be honest, was a casual player (still am) just leveling all my jobs, then endwalker dropped and i was dragged by a friend to jump into pf to clear and farm the first two extremes that came out at the time, i was super nervous, most difficult thing i did is like warrior of light on normal mode lol but i did it, it was a lot of fun, then couple of weeks later, the new savage tier came out, i decided to give it a go with friends, it went rly well, cleared first, then they disbanded, then cleared second in pf went on to uwu in pf cuz it was rly active, cleared it in 4 days, after that i realized how i was putting ultimates on a higher pedestal than it really is i got my tea clear in pf in only 7 days of raiding, trust me if i did it, u can do it :D
@@Kenzaii older ultimates are kind of a jokes since you only have to do mechanics and don't have to worry about DPS check so you can play giga safe. In patch one are harder as you have to play good in order to clear, TOP right now have a rough DPS check on some phases but will become a joke once dungeons gear in future patches come out. But ye ucob and uwu are very approachable for a more casual player and there's tons of recourses avaible to tell how to do your roles perfectly
Personally I became super burnt out on super high end raiding after completing Tomb of Sargers Mythic in WoW. And yea 100% the time commitment is by far the hardest part, even with only 8 people. Eventually I do want to get an UWU clear in to get a Stardust Rod Ultima for myself, but the challenge is finding a group of 7 people willing to prog with on a consistent basis. 🙁
Ngl, a lot of poeple recommended me to start with UCoB, I'm glad I didn't listen and started with DSR... yes it was hard... and yes because I had no experience it took way longer than it should've but now I have completed all ultimates and Im glad I started with (in my opinion) the most fun ultimate out of the bunch and didnt get my experience ruined by UCoB which I consider to be the worst ultimate out of the 5... Currently teaching DSR to some friends who are new to ultimates and they are enjoying it
Not even surprised that Todd was involved :D pretty chill and humble dude, wish wow had more peeps like him (yeah this is not a diss I play and love both)
Agreed, ult is a content for social, make friends and waste time together for funs, progressing with pubs is just a nightmare because u never find someting to discuss with and sharing feels.
I originally thought of joining a static for ultimate was for making friends too, after clearing 3 of the ultimate, I began to think of raid team more as coworkers instead of friends. We clear, but its not the same type of group dynamic I was expecting. It is what it is.
You definitely earned your ultimate clears fam
You the real MVP!
That long discord message 🤣 both of you two are hilarious in your content❤️
Thank you former navy seal Crystal o7
Oh wow crystal bring the special squad navy seals to clear kougan ucob! Marvellous!
imo p8s is harder than half the ultimates out there... EW has ramped up the difficulty on all accounts..
As a retired ultimate raider I can absolutely agree that the majority of the difficulty is around scheduling and persistence. The fights aren't really THAT hard, it's just they're really long. If you beat your head against it long enough it will fall, you just have to find 7 other people willing to hit their head enough times
Thank you for the vouch my guy
My dude having to spend 1000 hours progging something is difficulty.
@Double Cheeseburger
The main "difficulty" I'd say comes from the people rather than the fight itself. Making sure the 7 other people are motivated to do it, making sure they're studying the fight, going over the strats, ready to come on time and come consistently. Making sure people are progging at a similar pace and no one person is significantly impacting the progress of the entire group. That 7 other people element really adds the highest difficulty
@@notoriousotaran8015 You have to set the president from the start. Elect a leader who makes final decisions on everything. Proper discussion before your 1st pull is paramount. Everyone needs to know the extreme importance of communication. You need to be able to effectively understand what went wrong on every pull without creating division. Individuals need to be honest when causing the wipe as well as speaking up when either they don't know what happened or don't understand the mechanic. D

@@raviolijesus6181 As a person who has completed a lot of top tier content across multiple MMORPGs and such... it becomes worth a lot less when you realize that only the player base of such game is going to care. I'd be more than happy to carry people to get such transmogs/glams, but at the end of the day, when the computer turns off, it's pretty much gone. Then you're back to square one, just like any other game.
The hardest thing about ultimate is not killing the person who didn’t do their homework.
im gonna be honest most people wont have the same luck as you did. On top of them carrying you through the fight damage wise (but lets be honest damage isnt even a factor anymore in old ultimates), you also had two streamer friends with stacked players who are good. Not everyone is gonna have that luck, but still hopefully for those who continue to pursue for a clear will eventually get it.
I feel like that’s a thing that doesn’t get brought up that much. Streamer privilege is a very real thing. Not even to validate people who say his clear is legitimate, because it is, but having acres to a really skilled group doesn’t happen that often
@Grand Ruby streamer privilege is 100% a thing. Again I don't mean to be rude but they did get carried on damage, their log provides the proof. Any regular player would've probably gotten the boot, in this case they didn't because again, streamer privilege and having connections within the XIV content creator space. No regular player will have that outlet of players available let alone that luck to not get replaced by someone better.
dont know why ppl cry out about luck, old ultimates dont need anyone to carry it anymore, random ppl in pf will get 10 clears before a casual GOOD static even clear it their first time
only speaking for older ones, dsr and top now are different topic
go in pf, get your own clear, its not even remotely challenging
@@Kenzaii Cap lmao
@@Temptest09 he's not capping tho. Fights like UCOB, UWU, TEA and DSR are puggable here on JP DC. People here also agree to use 1 common strat for every ultimate fight. As for DPS check, it is also really non-existent for UCOB and UWU.
Trust me, you just need time to clear ultimate fights. If you don't, don't do it because the prog is time consuming.
My Piece of advice would be that if you want to try Ultimates, definitely, DEFINITELY start with UwU (Also the name is just short for "Ultima Weapon Ultimate" instead of the Duty Name). UwU is a short fight, and has a lot of smaller, fast phases, which makes progressing feel pretty good early on, since you'll hit a lot of big milestones. Difficulty-wise, it is also the closest to Savage.
I just started clearing with a static last year and I said that uwu is like savage+
Yea I learned this the hard way by starting with tea 🙃.
If I ever decided to try an ultimate, I sure as hell ain't gonna start with DSR
Apparently you can carry UWU if someone knows all mechs and do call outs. Doesn't have too much individual responsibilities
UCoB is still easier because you can healer lb3 like 4x and still clear.
I Think ultimate mechanically is perfect for what it is, but the real issue is nobody has TIME anymore for scheduled raiding. all the actually mature people who are fun and chill you'd want to raid with are too busy struggling to survive in real life and make ends meet.
The real ultimate is even finding a raid group for savage at all, it's just not viable anymore to do so.
This is an awesome video seeing your growth from egging you on to clear P4S to you now spreading that same message to other people that are scared to try that you can always get better with effort. Great video Kou
As someone who loved challenges, I ended up clearing the first 3 Ultimate raids within 3 months of each other. Reclearing them proved to me how much of a memory test it was and once you can do it once, you can do it 1000 times over.
@Phoenix Ehh not really, there's toolboxes for that which are commonly used in PF parties which I did.
I would still recommend UWU to anyone who is interested, it is by far the easiest ultimate. As a casual savage raider, it took me and my two friends about a month of weekend grinding clear it. I recommend tessan twintails’ guide on it for what to do. Dont be discouraged and give it a shot!
i just wanted to be able to clear it at least times for my shiny paladin and dragoon zodiac wep glams.
I felt that part about time crunch. I was doing UCoB back in Shadowbringers and my group got up to the final phase. But there was just one issue. Endwalker was right around the corner. We didn't get the clear before the early access and never got back together ^^;
I still want to go back in and get that clear but I also took a little break from raiding for the first year of Endwalker.
if you need a BLM on NA DC's i got you
I recognize the paladin in ur vid!! They helped me get my first TEA clear a few days ago. Congrats on both ulti clears, it's super impressive that you did UWU right away after beating Ucob :D
Great video Kou! Love the hildebrand ultimate in the background.
👀
you forgot the reason what made you clear the content:
- prog with 7 others who have cleared the contents
unless they stream high end content as their main thing this is kind of every xiv streamer. zepla, the wow peeps coming over and trying it like rich, kou; they're all casual to slightly above average, then get a very smooth and sped up ticket to ultimate clears cause of clout. don't blame them but these videos are always so... well, you know. Just say thank you for getting you the clear and leave it at that.
i swear i thought i mentioned that LMAO
@@Kougaon I promise ultimates are more satisfying and fun when you aren't being carried through it. The memories of struggle and perseverance with your team is the reward, not the weapon or title.
CONGRATS KOU happy it worked out. Also I don't know why 9:10 was funny either maybe Aku has superpowers
THANK YOU !!!
SIR
THIS MIGHT BE YOUR BEST VIDEO YET
ALSO CONGRATS!!
THANK YOU
I would love to get into Ultimate. Hard to find a group that is willing to do the old ones + do late night runs
Meanwhile im struggling finding dedicated daytime raiding group in JP, especially on weekend daytime
Can't do late nights progging anymore since i full WFO now, and need to wake up super early in the morning.
I started UCoB through PF on a whim, and got up to the start of phase 3 with purely PF for the longest time. I ended up getting a static for it and we were doing good, but things fell apart before we even ended up hitting phase 3 (we reached ravensbeak on Nael).
Felt sour about it for a long while, but when I hop back into XIV on the 1st I'm finally going back to the CoB, with PF more than likely. I WILL get my UCoB.
also if you take anything away from this comment, don't be scared to jump into ultimates if you want to do so. I'm of the firm belief that anybody can clear an ultimate if you know your buttons, and you can put together the puzzle that is the fight.
Also go do Coils of Bahamut. Unsync it with your 90 job or a buddy, the story is great :U
Figured I'd come back to this post now
As of last night, I completed UCoB!
Grats on the clear!
One think I'll also recommend is don't fully push off pf. To my knowledge most data centers have dedicated communities that compile standardized strats for pf, for Primal we have UPR. TEA and DSR are very difficult but possible in pf, and UwU and UCoB are very common to see and aren't too bad atp. If you want extra practice (which you can never get enough of imo) or can't find/can't/don't want to join a static, pf is absolutely a viable option for ults.
This is true, I only like statics because I’m most comfortable in them. PF’s are good options !
Its not really mentioned that while on PF you do it when you want, its also out of your control how much you have to wait for it to actually fill
They aren't difficult tbh, they just take time. Anyone who wants to can clear, just figure out your level of dedication and prog at your own pace.
What about doing ERP in an Ultimate?
Now you’re thinking
banger video as always bro
thanks bro
@@Kougaon on a serious note, your advice is pretty helpful because I struggle with schedules as well LOL (hopefully 6.5+ will be my "lets tackle ultimate" time..)
@@YuushioChan YOU GOT THIS
wow you've successfully made it so I never want to even touch this content ever.
My first Ultimate run was before Endwalker in a dead month after 5.5 to 6.0. It was UWU and we bring 2 people that never savage before and with total 8 people (all member) never cleared the fight before (7 people never tasted ultimate) It took us 6 months to actually clear the fight (our first clear was actually AFTER Endwalker released and we need to adjust our rotation to the new one).
A lot of things happen, there's a fight, a big fight between close friend. Even I got into a fight myself. But I guess that just what happen when you are on something for a very long time (with slow progress) and facing what seemed like a deadline (Endwalker release) one of our member even left (luckily someone who have cleared are willing to help as a replace). And honestly, that feeling when you actually cleared after all what happen with that very same group is kind of irreplaceable.
Fortunately my 2nd ultimate which is TEA only took us 2 months to clear.
Hey, really enjoyed the video. Awesome to see you get the clear! And ngl, I paniced a bit when you used the discord notification sound. xD
Congrats again on the clear Kou! I said it before when we got the clear and I will say it again here. You had some of the cleanest play I have ever seen from someone who had never been to Golden Bahamut before. You absolutely killed it. You earned that clear and I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to have helped with it!
When it comes to finding the players, we have two flavors of hurt: party finder and statics -- party finder for people who don't have friends, and statics for people who have enough friends to risk losing some.
Congratz my dude... yup Ultimate itll take some time but you will clear it eventually dont give up
Congrats on the clears! I’m looking forward to trying the game tonight. Don’t worry,I won’t skip story
Enjoy it man!
Thanks I will!
My free company is very encouraging about the story, if I'm having a hard time with a boss I'll borrow someone OP and they're always like "Don't worry about us, enjoy the cutscenes."
I already finished watching all of your videos at work. Thanks for uploading a new video, you're my favorite degenerate
I gotcha bby
I hope to clear TEA one day because I love the way the weapons look, and it would make me feel good about myself but I'm still a sprout so i have a long way to go.
You got it done tho!! Grats on the clears Kou!!!
THANK YOU ZEHRINE 🥺🥺
Ultimates can either be some of the best experience you can have in this game or the worst, all depending on your group. I played with a group I didn't enjoy playing with for DSR and even tho we got the kill, it would have been so much better if I actually enjoyed playing with them.
On the contrary, I spent 6 months+ killing ucob with different groups (after it took roughly 30 days for my first one) because I was helping a lots of friends do the fight and it was the most fun I've had in 14 to date.
I wish I had the confidence to believe I could even attempt these... I've only ever cleared one savage tier, and even though all my friends say I'm good enough to do Ultimate it's just hard for me to believe it. Great vid though, always impressed and inspired watching people give it a shot and succeed against the odds.
Don't let that get you down. Ultimates are entirely different from Savage in almost every way. The challenge more comes from the length of the raids rather than the actual difficulty. They're still difficult, but the biggest factor of whether or not you'll beat them is simply time. Dedication beats Ultimates, not skill. :)
Bro, you cleared a savage tier congrats. Hmu if you're NA and we'll make a group to get your feet wet if you want :) You've def got what it takes if you managed to clear a final savage boss. My gf went from sprout to to heavens legend in 2022 with not that much video game experience so I'm sure you can clear an ultimate too
Hey pal if you have a savage tier cleared you're more than ready to clear ult content, like the video says it's not a matter of skill, it's a matter of determination, study the fight and just keep going till clear, that's how you do it, if you go to a static and it doesn't work, you just keep searching for another one, or pf it, if you keep at it one day you'll clear all ults.
@@blackfox4138this!! I cleared dsr and im a green/blue parser. Dps checks are super ez. It just takes time bc the fights longer and it takes more time to prog bc prog points are locked behind like 10mins of fight lol
Ik this is very late but trust yourself. It's just a game, it's fine to make mistakes and learn from it. If your static gets toxic then so what? Just do it and eventually get the clear.
All those numbers one may post in savage shouldnt deter anyone from doing ultimates as they are different from each other. I like to optimize my numbers in savage and thats all I need to make me have fun and feel good. You dont have to be that type of player and you can still clear ultimates. Just need a lot of time, patience and dedication.
Great video as always Kougaon, any plans for twitch lives ?
I got plans for twitch dies
@@Kougaon lmao
I hear you…I want to clear ucob…I am about half way through the fight and it looks like it will be a while before pf picks up again. Bahamut prime is a pain to prog
It’s the biggest wall, if you got a twitter account and dm me I may be down to help prog! I really enjoyed UCOB !
As Pythagoras once said, "a clear is a clear"
Amen
For anyone that sees this and is scared to do these things, pf really isn't that bad esp for dsr, top and fru. It does require a lot of time still but it's very doable and if you're a fast learner you can just hop from prog point to progpoint groups and they're always active. And if you're slow you're not holding 7 people back because you can once again just hope into groups around your own progpoint till you are ready to proceed to the next. I cleared ultimates with multiple groups and started doing pf since right before dawntrail and it can be really fun, especially if you find like 1, 2 or even 3 people that prog around the same speed as you that you can go with. Progging in pf doesn't mean you have to go alone and a lot of statics just get stuck on the schedule/speed of learning balancing. If you like ultimate raiding but have trouble with groups, don't be scared to hop into pf, not everyone in there is a pro player either and you're not expected to be one, just don't prog lie and read up on mechs unless you're in a blind prog group.
Yeah. It’s just something to sink your time in… something to work towards until new patches come out. I use to get so stressed out by ultimates. Making a static, clearing as fast as I could and then I get the title wear it for a week and then it loses flavor like old gum and play something else.
i just recently got quad legend and im in TOP right now, DSR was probably the most committed to anything ive been in my entire life lmao, 3 months of prog and the clear at the end was the most excited i think ive ever been. TOP is gonna be a great time i can already tell
this man is up in here saying he sucks as if we didn't toss him into p4s right after he cleared p3s before he even had a chance to really look at mechs and he did better than some of the people who HAD progged it before
nah im still bad
Progging ultimates and then clearing has been the best time ive had in this game. It takes time yes but what else do you have to do in ffxiv.
I mean ERP is way harder than Ultimate's.not only do you have to schedule but you have to write??? and make it sound good??? lol
Srsly tho, i was so happy to be there that stream, im proud, you really worked hard and while I know im forever away from savages and ultimates, a 2x a week 3 hr run while long is more possible than i thought (as most people i know have many days a week 5-7hrs which is like naw) gives me hope
Can't wait to see you clear the others one day :3
Congrats!!! That first ultimate clear feels amazing honestly. I think I cried a little with mine. XD
Congrats - but I am starting to feel in this game that the way to clear content is to be a streamer. LOL
But ultimates do seem like a major time commitment and not just for prog. They seem very long.
Nah you can definitely clear without being a streamer LOL. It helped me get the clear faster but it doesn’t mean it’s impossible. If you wanna get it just put in the time! You got this :D
Scheduling is no joke, as I am one who is across the pond from the people who were progging UWU. I was up between 1-3am and felt horrible because I lacked focus from being tired. While I was happy to figure out Garuda's mechs within my first ever attempt, I felt pathetic having to drop out on only the second day of prog but I had to put my health first, it didn't feel right giving my worst when everyone else was giving their best. I was also..EXTREMELY intimidated (tho that is my own issue to tackle) and while everyone was super nice and helpful my brain loves to believe otherwise.
As a player who's not even a year old into the beautiful community, I hope to come back when I am fully ready. To achieve a place on the list of many who have conquered one of these demonic hellspawn runs would mean a lot to a shy pessimistic bastard like me.
YOU TESTING ME! ON BEING A REAL GAMER? I have a severe *lack of a LIFE* to prove it boy
True, Static is all about atmosphere in the party, skill is not really an issue(unless you fail at the same mech for god damn9+th time).
UCOB was like the most difficult when DSR hasn't come out yet.
but the thing is DSR and UCOB there are some mech, which you'll feel RNG that you're gonna die or gonna pass, that's why they're difficult.
Honestly I want to do UCOB, I just like on how the weapon, but sadly whenever trying to find others, they just don't either or just intimidate me sometimes, its just sometimes I get sadden even my friend told me on not to do it since its not worth it, but I truly want to do it, even thought I will failed, I gotta learn some how, and the whole point is to learn and do it again
skill 1000% matters but not in the context most would think. for the most part, when forming a group to prog you don't want to have a huge disparity in player skill. people aren't going to enjoy the experience if they are too far ahead or behind. so try to get people who are around the same level (or patient high level players)
when scouting for players, logs matter but don't use funny numbers completely. look at who they may be playing with and ask their old raid mates how they vibe. you want to weed out any toxic players. it also helps to see how long they may be playing and what they may already be familiar with
This happened to me. He's just like me fr fr. I did pf clear for uwu because of a time crunch for doing 6.2 since the 6.2 static's time schedule was going to be really unstable. It was like 12 hours a day in pf hell for four days straight to get from annihilation to clear. It was suffering but it also feels nice to carry the uwu stick to trick people into thinking I know how to play blackmage.
Anyway congrats!
3:31 If you can handle MW2's lobby chat, then you can handle any chat
I never bothered with ultimates. I just do not consider the rewards worth the effort of learning all the mechs and so on.
Grats on your clears!
Someday I want to try an ultimate, but first I need to play AST better...
Thank you and you'll get there ;w; !
What I learned from this is don't get nervous about time crunches
I started UWU as my first Ult, I've gotten all the way to Titan gaols with purely just PF + 2-3 friends that are available sometimes, It's been such a bog but I hope to get my shiny weapon soon ;w;
Congratulations! Good job.
This is how I felt about trying to get clear on Sephirot Unreal. So many failed groups, didn't know if I was going to get a clear before his time window was up, but I was like 'damn it, I want to beat this guy!"
And man was it an awesome feeling when it happened. So many groups with people not sticking around, not getting mechanics, not doing what they should be doing, and then in the same night, clear and also a reclear.
I am just sad they don't give out a title or any kind of reward to clearing Unreals, because it felt like such an accomplishment for me.
Love how your advice is completely different than how you got your clear.
Ultimates are for when ya wanna let the game crush your nards constantly.
Also, from what I know, they are quite rarely added into the game so there being 2 during the 6.x updates is maybe a first. I dunno though someone can correct me.
The difference between you and me as a player is that regardless of amount of jokes about having no friends you put out you're still a content creator that is watched by fair number of people who in turn would be pretty willing to help you.
I am a bumfuck solo in an fc of people I barely know that do their thing. I have no platform to have a group of 7 whole people to put up with my bullshit and carry me through the fight. The fact that you got 7 people to clear the fight just to help you speaks volumes of difference between random player like me that has no friends and someone semi famous in ff14 circle like you.
I don't want to sound rude and I appreciate the encouragement I just don't think you can clearly see the advantages of position you hold and some random player like me.
^this, as much as it is to hear compare to those of us who aren't deep into circles of 14 or aren't even know (even if we play the game a lot) you have that advantage for you. The rest of us just will never be lucky.
@@Miyao05 yep. I have 4000 hours in the game! But nobody knows me at all.
I started playing this game a long time ago, 2013 to be exact, and I used to play all by myself in an fc of people I barely know that do their thing. I now have 2 ultimate clears (and advanced prog on the other two) and usually clear the tier in a timely manner. All pf.
I made friends and run content with them as well but all of my clears have been of me just hitting my head on my keyboard and going on pf. The advantage Kou had on his clears just made them faster, not the difference between clear and no clear.
Lastly, this game is extremely social, there are countless discord servers made for each ultimate progging with hundreds of members, vets and newbies, and they're all put publicly on PF, you can easily make friends there, or not! You're definitely not obligated to keep in contact with them after clearing.
If YOU want to be a loner and not step into ultimates, thats YOUR choice, don't blame it on popularity, you're making a fool of yourself.
I dont even have an FC, barely know people in the game and still got myself my DSR clear without any previous ultimate experience.
Sure, being ''famous'' can make it less painful to gather people to help, but have u tried being nice to people u meet at party finder? I swear u'll find alot of friendly good players there as well.
@@LuizHenrique-cj2qn i have actually, even messing on a savage night re-clear made me horribly afraid of pf without friends. (Someone said cuz I mess up ONCE that I shouldn't be in a re-clear party) Imagine if I mess up on ultimate fight.
I also don't learn by watching others, I do it by dying to them. Even if I watch a guide it does absolutely nothing for me. I am very slow learner (even if I learn) and no one ever has patience for that.
I'm far too casual to do ults and savages I tried to do ucob and ruby weapon for the weapons. It is not for me. Doesn't help I'm an rdm main. Siding gnb rn
this is so inspirational actually i have so much anxiety trying to find a group
Well deserved clears for u kou!! I started ultimate recently as well with my fc as well so i hope i can do my best!
THANK YOU RAE good luck on your's!!
Awesome story! Still want to clear the ultimates, although I probably won't.
Eh... the tips are true for UWU / UCOB where it is more recoverable, currently. Maybe even TEA, not necessarily true for TOP / DSR.
The issue with TOP / DSR is that they make consistancy 10x more important.
If you aren't on top of things the ENTIRE time, you won't even be able to prog the later phases.
And yes, it's possible you'll be able to bang your head against the wall, but at that point you might end up progging the fight for 2 years due to how key consistancy is.
It's all relative, I personally think savage raids are too hard, but then i suck at the game, I'm sure the top 1% probably think the same of anyone that can't clear ultimates. In ff14 you just have to accept that some content just isnt for you.
6:20 lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂
“I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it”
Christal ain’t no joke…
I cleared one Ultimate out of spite and had no desire to do more... then they added the frame kits from Ultimate and now I have to do them T_T
Honestly I wanna do UCOB i like the mch weapon the barrel spins when you Unshealth was a big plus for me.
I had to clear uwu in pf alone right when patch 6.2 dropped it was chaotic
Props to you for clearing it in PF alone, i could never
Imo consistent players is the biggest deciding factor whether you can stay long enough as a group for the clear or fall apart midways (or early ways?). A group of players starting to prog the fight but consistent enough to reach the prog point everytime will keep the morale high. But if you throw one inconsistent af player into the group, you will disband in less than a month. Ultimate is very punishing that if one player mess up, most of the time it's a wipe. Repeatedly failing on a mechanic that your group has cleared before feels bad, and you'll end up wasting time without any meaningful progress at all.
That said, congratulations on the clear!
UWU weapons are the best. It's the only one I clear until now. I'm saving up totems for the future weapons that will be added for the other jobs.
2:28 Yo, you didn't have to it dirty like that with us PF players, SPECIALLY WHEN I'M LITERALLY RACLAW KENGI LOOKING FOR A TEAM THERE
Big grats on the clears and a lot of this resonates with me as well and was very well put, but a few more notes: in the difficulty ranking, you put TEA above UCoB. I STRONGLY disagree. As someone who was able to go from BJCC prog to clear in about 2 days of PF, I can say with much confidence TEA is very much a memorization/study fight. The first two phases are by far the hardest in terms of actual mechanical execution and reaction times, while all of phase 3 and 4 are entirely just recognize where to go and then do it according to the strat you’re using. In some points of the fight, especially phase 4, the windows of execution are so wide I would literally pull up the toolbox/diagrams on my phone to check and then do it in game and still made it in time. I think one of the biggest factors of why the community perception is generally TEA>UCoB in terms of difficulty is simply the lack of good/extensive guides and resources for TEA. Additionally, according to XIVcollect, a sizable amount more people have actually cleared tea than cleared UCoB. While this isn’t solely tied to difficulty (more people might’ve cleared tea since they liked the rewards or the fight more) it’s important to remember UCoB has also been in the game much longer and yet still has been cleared significantly less. UCoB is still a challenge no matter how many times you do it simply due to the random variation of every major mechanic, and presents a unique challenge completely absent from the other ults in Nael quotes. While I know that generally people use ahhh goofy 3rd party programs to just call them out, as a console player in PF that wasn’t an option for me and greatly added to the difficulty. Finally, UCoB has the best weapons and that’s on god 🙏
Yeah it’s usually debated on whether TEA or UCOB is harder but for now I just settled upon the opinions of my raider friends but you could be right! Also you’re wrong and just a piss color enjoyer >:(
I hired raid boosters to play with me. So l get to play ast while avoiding having teammates holding me back. It worked great. I will do the same to ucob and probably tea. For dsr, if l still have thr interest after the dps check becomes easier to meey
whoever PF only all 4 raids is really a Gigachad because with no call out that man has a brain IQ of 100, a plus 100 if he is on console (that means 0 addons)
anyone know what chest armor he wearing?
late allagan coat of casting you can get it with wolfs mark
sooo tldr just get boosted ? :D
:)
good video keep up the good work yay
I have both a miqote and a viera so I pretty much identity as a dominant bottom, don't know what you can do with that info but there you go, ggwp
Only way to do ERP is with an ultimate title, keep on moving forward
"You will get the clear one day" Knows 95% of TEA and still chasing that clear 3 years later...
I wish I had the time Todo savages and ultimates like I love the game I love tanking but I can't really do any of the harder content because I don't have any time todo any content like this, the hardest fight that I have probably done is delubrum savage with black mage back in shadowbringers
I think DSR is pretty hard but other than that the others aren't too bad, still harder than savage tho and a huge accomplishment
I have alot of bad blood along the way for my first ucob clear, looking back... it was not worth the trouble
God I love the mateira ultimate raiding PF scene; deadass will get people with over 60 totems come in and give you a hand because they like the fight. Like personally I've got like.... 18 totems? I still enjoy helping nael prog groups because its so funny watching people panic over quotes first time theyre in there LOL. It's a lot smaller DC but it also means you run into regulars who'll just pop in and help.
I also think they're just some of the most fun I've had in a game, especially if its UCOB and im on RDM instead of tank and just playing damage control: the job LMFAO. I think the most deaths I've had (excluding the scripted one going into golden) was like 30. UCOB CAN BE CURSED AS HELL AND YOU CAN STILL CLEAR 10/10 FIGHT.
Before I got my clear I had 3 5% wipes on golden which was............a time. Also you dodged the exaflare because they move in half circle rotations; you UNKNOWINGLY managed to do what's required for a mid dodge, for a wall dodge because you didn't hesitate - if you hesitated that second explosion would have killed you; the idea for mid dodging is to dodge into the back half of an explosion coming down a lane parallel to you. You do be gaming Kou 😂
Love these stories. I'm a little baby who just got my first Extreme clear and vids like these from all kind of skill level players really encourage me to try harder content!
ill be honest, was a casual player (still am) just leveling all my jobs, then endwalker dropped and i was dragged by a friend to jump into pf to clear and farm the first two extremes that came out at the time, i was super nervous, most difficult thing i did is like warrior of light on normal mode lol
but i did it, it was a lot of fun, then couple of weeks later, the new savage tier came out, i decided to give it a go with friends, it went rly well, cleared first, then they disbanded, then cleared second in pf
went on to uwu in pf cuz it was rly active, cleared it in 4 days, after that i realized how i was putting ultimates on a higher pedestal than it really is
i got my tea clear in pf in only 7 days of raiding, trust me if i did it, u can do it :D
@@Kenzaii older ultimates are kind of a jokes since you only have to do mechanics and don't have to worry about DPS check so you can play giga safe.
In patch one are harder as you have to play good in order to clear, TOP right now have a rough DPS check on some phases but will become a joke once dungeons gear in future patches come out.
But ye ucob and uwu are very approachable for a more casual player and there's tons of recourses avaible to tell how to do your roles perfectly
So how's that going abandoned grass altogether yet?
lol watching you kou brings back memory !!! hehe so funny
I think you'll enjoy TEA!
I love robots Gundams and shit
Personally I became super burnt out on super high end raiding after completing Tomb of Sargers Mythic in WoW. And yea 100% the time commitment is by far the hardest part, even with only 8 people.
Eventually I do want to get an UWU clear in to get a Stardust Rod Ultima for myself, but the challenge is finding a group of 7 people willing to prog with on a consistent basis. 🙁
I'm a Dwarf.. i don't ERP.
but i do Craft up storms. so i guess i do Savage and ults in some way.. by working my ass off for ppl who do XD
Ngl, a lot of poeple recommended me to start with UCoB, I'm glad I didn't listen and started with DSR... yes it was hard... and yes because I had no experience it took way longer than it should've but now I have completed all ultimates and Im glad I started with (in my opinion) the most fun ultimate out of the bunch and didnt get my experience ruined by UCoB which I consider to be the worst ultimate out of the 5... Currently teaching DSR to some friends who are new to ultimates and they are enjoying it
Thanks for the motivation bro
I decided against Ultimates. I enjoy knowing to be good enough to clear a savage tier. Only bummer was, that my static kicked me after telling them.
Not even surprised that Todd was involved :D pretty chill and humble dude, wish wow had more peeps like him (yeah this is not a diss I play and love both)
Agreed, ult is a content for social, make friends and waste time together for funs, progressing with pubs is just a nightmare because u never find someting to discuss with and sharing feels.
I originally thought of joining a static for ultimate was for making friends too, after clearing 3 of the ultimate, I began to think of raid team more as coworkers instead of friends. We clear, but its not the same type of group dynamic I was expecting. It is what it is.
