    What you're seeing in Alliance Roulette is two camps of players that will never be happy with each others' opinions. One side wants easy EXP and will leave anything harder than Crystal Tower (and MAYBE Void Ark), while the other side is bored to tears of doing Crystal Tower for the umpteenth time and will leave that instead. It's the same deal we have with DT's dungeon difficulty, some of us got what we wanted while others have been screaming on the forums for nerfs.

      Yep, that is true, and it is hard to satisfy everyone in such a situation!

      I just want CT to have its own roulette 😭. It keeps ruining my late night alliance shenanigans. If it becomes it's own roulette everyone who already had multiple raids unlocked gets an extra source of exp and anyone who only wants to do CT can just pick that while those who *NEVER WANT TO DO CT AGAIN* 👹 can just... Not pick it.

      @@Zezepo Honestly, at this point I'd throw it into MSQ Roulette, just so we can hit two birds with one stone and make MSQ roulette at least *slightly* more engaging with more variety, but I don't know how much that would hurt it in terms of queue times for the new players queueing directly.

    For E8, the way I think about it is one cast is a 270 degree AoE from the boss and the other is a 90 degree, so the mirrors act as if the AoE comes from them. Can't get behind the mirrors, so run away if it's 270.

    I had a very similar Zurvan EX the other day- a sprout tank who was friendly and communicative but did not seem ready for the difficulty level, and a returner tank who didn't say a word the entire duty and repeatedly failed even basic mechanics like 'do not be on the platform section that's about to fall down' (I did try using the auto-translate function to communicate with them but that didn't help either).
    I more-or-less remember the fight from when it was the current unreal, but I was playing MCH so there wasn't a lot I could do beyond trying to explain mechanics in party chat, and the tether/tower mechanic towards the end of the fight is really, really rough to teach to unprepared first-timers.

But whatever opener I’m doing is consistently getting flèche and contre sixte back on cooldown mid cast and it feels like I’m mistiming my 2 minutes in the opener.

    8:15 The thing with ice and the air spark happened to me too just recently. I can honestly say, the ice does not prevent getting shot into the air. Maybe with bind-debuff it would, but ice doesn't give it.

    Shout out to Math Cae on this one! While none of that math work is really required, I think it still goes a long way to showing that RDM isn't necessarily the simple, braindead job that a lot of people love to paint it as, especially now in DT. There's a decent bit you can do to improve your performance on RDM if you want to (for example, managing your AOE so that every hit is actually used it's best given that we have frontal conals, AOEs with splash and a line AOE to think about).
    And I feel you on that "I don't have rez yet" comment. Sometimes you can literally feel the stares coming through the screen when you're up and the healers are down.... but you're in a HW duty.

      Got griefed by an Ast in bikini in Snowcloak becuse she died on the first pull somehow and I didn't raise her. No, being level 50 and verraise being level 64+ was not a valid excuse, she ran off doing mechanics wrong and rescued me into her self-ending business.

    Sadly to Math Cae, everyone else seems to get most all of my 50%s on RDM and DNC both, XD; I usually get even amounts of black/white procs, including 0 a few times, before breaking 50. And when I am lower on once side, it feels like half the time I just got a proc for that color on the cast that brought me over 50 (like, 3 white procs and a black, so I get a second black on the cast that breaks 50) so I could go sword combo and waste the proc, or curse my luck and end up going to like, 80 in both because that's when I get my flurry of white/black procs to catch back up to a 50% average >.

    • @CaetsuChaijiCh
      @CaetsuChaijiCh  4 місяці тому

      Yeah that's a classic, holding the melee combo because "maybe I'll run out of procs in a moment!" and the fact you can't always control this also would reduce the real amount of procs you get somewhat, but hey, I guess you can't win them all! 😅

  • @titaniumvulpes
    @titaniumvulpes 4 місяці тому +1

    I'm absolutely certain that it at least used to work that being in the ice during Five-Headed Dragon would have you not get bounced up, because that was the only way as the person with the yellow marker to not get the vuln stack from being hit by it. It's not a "pretty sure I saw it happen", it's "I've done this many times" but sadly I don't have proof. And unfortunately nobody seems to have posted a video about it (guides all say to just run away from the party with it, but several of those old guides also say to run away with the stack marker (back when it was just a purple marker and not a proper stack indicator), so...). I can't go test it out myself right now because my computer is having crashing problems, so in light of that I'd like to ask someone else to find out: Do you still get the vuln stack if you get knocked up while in the ice? I.e. is it just a visual glitch or is the entire mechanic no longer working?

    • @CaetsuChaijiCh
      @CaetsuChaijiCh  4 місяці тому

      Someone else had proof from an MTQ guide from arr 🤔 the suggestions seem to be either it might be bugged, maybe it never worked to protect the main target of the mechanic, or maybe the reason is that the player was in two overlapping ice fields, which somehow makes it not work? 🤔 It is strange!

    in my defence i've changed my stance on alliance raids, i only hate nier raids now, so i do all of them but the only one i'll skip out of is tower at paradigm's reach the last straw was when i got into one of those and one of the tanks refused to listen to the raid who were all typing in chat for almost 2 minutes straight to separate hansel and gretel, it's also the only duty where most of the time that i get it there is at least 1 wipe (which is usually fine but it gets tiresome after the 20th time)

    Question, Cae: how do you feel about Guildhests, since you've started this mentor roulette series? Do you feel that they still have a place in the game, based on your observations of new players and how they behave and interact with the game, or has all the runs of Under the Armor, All's Well that Ends in the Well, and the tortoise one soured you on them? Personally I feel that if hests were cut out, I don't think much would change at all.

I've just started the game again and following msq of dawntrail.

    Not sure what I'd have done for duty 7, specifically as PLD, RDM, or SMN, i. e. roles that need to use their GCDs to heal. If I want to heal, I queue as healer, not any other role. I guess I'd heal every now and then, but players that repeatedly don't do mechanics are not my problem. Had I queued as healer, but ended in a different alliance, the main problem would be targeting other alliances, which is not great on console. It's doable, but very clunky on a controller and if there's a different target nearby (as in right on top of the dead player) that needs to be killed, the game prioritizes that over any player and I can tab through the available targets until the game gives me that target that needs healing. Good thing healing my own party/alliance works much better on controller.
    Where guildhest? Sad

    • @CaetsuChaijiCh
      @CaetsuChaijiCh  4 місяці тому

      Yeah that is also why I was more surprised positively that the other alliances tried to help, rather than suggest it was expected! 😅 It was very awkward in general, and if you have no healers, sometimes you have to get creative, even if that isn't what you signed up for. That is at least my perspective 😊
