Chaotic raid is pretty disappointing overall for me. It reminds me a LOT of WoW during BC when you needed to be keyed (Magtheridon) to progress to the next raid tier, and if you missed the initial rush, you were fucked for months until they removed that restriction. Obv with FFXIV this raid isn't a roadblock to anything else, but I have the same feeling of getting fail alliance after fail alliance like I did back then. Really the mech that is BS is the swap when a few people are dead messing up everything with towers after. Then you either waste LB on Tank LB to pass that and hit enrage or luck out with enough surviving and DD LB.

Finally got my Chaotic Raid clear. Honestly the fight is good fun when people actually know what they're doing. But when we're wiping to towers or swaps for the 50th time.... it gets tiring lol

Here's hoping reclears are smoother. I just want that damn cloud mount!

Reclears were NOT smoother, for the most part. I'm sure most NA raiders know this by now but NA PF is just a trash heap of liars and people who just don't know how to play their jobs. It's times like these where I am reminded of why I stopped Savage raiding in earnest. It's cool to dabble in these special Savage challenges every few years (BLU Savage, DRS, Chaotic) but that's all I can stomach these days. Don't miss the weekly reclear grind at all lol

Having said all that, as I said previously, I did enjoy the fight itself. But I'd prefer less body checks for the next Chaotic...


Oh and in case anyone was wondering, it took me exactly 40 clears to get enough demimateria I to buy the mount. Also saw the shroud mount drop 3 times, the dais mount once, and the hair twice. Never saw the minion drop.

These devs dude... they let translation errors for two attacks in Chaotic stew in the game for an entire month before fixing them. Thank God I'm done with my grind cuz the fix would screw me up for sure.

Definitely gonna be rougher for reclear parties the next week or so lol

The following issues have been addressed. An issue in Cloud of Darkness (Chaotic) wherein the actions "Lateral-core Phaser" and "Core-lateral Phaser" were oppositely labeled.

Yeah they really should have just left it as-is. Last night I joined 5 or 6 "Duty Complete" PTs for CoD Chaotic that were all total fails... then joined a enrage to clear prog group and cleared on 1st pull. FML. 25 IIs now, so far to go. Haven't seen anything other than the 2 gear coffers drop so far.

There will be dedicated Discords for it like Baldesion Arsenal or Delubrum Savage, but you can definitely forget about PFing it in 2 months.

For those of you who feel like spending an hour listening to somebody talk about a video game, this is a legitimately well thought out critique of the Dawntrail MSQ. In particular, I think Zepla raises a good point about Wuk Lamat in that she is not the source of the problems with the story, but rather a product of a key writing issue that is endemic to the whole experience: that what we are told about her through dialogue is too often at odds with what we are shown. It's easy for people to pin their frustrations with the story's shortcomings on Wuk because she is so front-and-center to everything that happens in Dawntrail, but the same fundamental issue affect other characters as well: Bakool Ja Ja, Zoraal Ja, and Koana, most prominently.

Field Ops slated for 7.2... but it's probably 7.25 so still some time to go.

Sounds like wait for 8.0 if you ask me. 7.25 for something decent for players is like a 5 or 6 month wait. Unacceptable.

I see Exploration content coming too late. Should of been in 7.1.

Rest is just tiresome raid stuff. Sounds like they are going to implement more boss jump mechanics and can't dps the boss.

Removing debuffs to track in raids is just more streamlining.

No talk about removing current lockouts either.

It is finished.... gawd that was some painful grinding. Ended up at 80 D1s and then won the drop on shroud, and converted some of the D1s to buy the other mount. Submarine money paid for the minion just to NOT have to go back in there. Got armor sets for WAR, VPR, and RPR, with a few random other pieces, but honestly the other sets (and the new hairstyle) are pretty hideous on male Roe.
