I agree with this. Sure it's not hard at all. But everything else about it is just spectacular. Brings you to tears as to what their real goal is.

@@GalaxiaKnightX A suicide pact.

It looks pretty, but honestly I only liked the music from Aglaia, the others were fine, but not as good as the first one

My first few runs were easy, but today I finally got a raid full of undergeared freestylers and definitely had my work cut out for me as a healer. Good thing I use Lucid on CD, abuse Thin Air, and have HQ MP pots on my hotbar.

Ikr? I feel the difficulty of this raid is partially decided by the strength of your graphics card at times lol

Still alive coz its so undertuned you can survive with 9 vul stacks

If you pay attention to the quest details it becomes clear why, especially the post-Thaleia scenes.

My whole party wiped but for one healer who pulled us back with a clutch LB3. Healers really have their work cut out for them on this one.

I believe the best explanation the game gives is in the Duty Roulette description. It's still a bit confusingly worded, but they say there that you can only receive one piece of gear per week. Once you get the gear, it also puts a green checkmark on that page until the week is over.

It’s okay to fail, you just gotta try again. Don’t give up blind raiding.

@@Khado_Mills I definitely would see the appeal if I was running it blind with a bunch of people I know. But dying every 5-10 minutes in front of a group of strangers? Nah, not my idea of fun. Ran this after watching the guide and was glad to see how smoothly it all went.

I'm so sorry that happened to you, I won't lie I chuckled.. Healer rescues can either go right or sooo very wrong 🤣🤣

Too much work for something that will be seen by 1% of the players. Then never again. Delirium Reginae is a good example.

@@RicardoSantos-oz3uj 1%? If you put something in there that's bis will be way higher than 1%, so current bis hands for tanks is crit ten, if you make so i do that i could get some crit det then im game. Each raid tier tbh should have the 8man savage in the even patch a week after, then the .5 criterion n savage which gives some bis accessories and as i keep giving the example tank and healer bis this tier was aug tome n tome so criterion could give another 660 ring which would be bis and then the odd patch gives alliance and alliance savage giving us more savage ilvl gear and then little after that an ultimate. That would be perfection and doable in Dawntrail now theyre not busy with XVI which was defo affected Endwalker

​@@RicardoSantos-oz3ujnice meme

I think you're severely overestimating the skill of most players, myself included. Don't take things too literal either, 1 percenters is used to describe the best of the best, and that doesn't even make up 75% of the player base (being generous there), I've seen gamers across the globe spout what they think are great ideas for games and yet absolutely none of them develop video games for a living. If SE could just pump out content like nobodies business I'm sure they would, but I'm sure you'll agree with me when I say you probably think they are greedy corporate bastards. Lol@@xierotron

Another instance of a gamer taking things too literal. @@chrislee5268

.......

Elemental, I forget what the rest of the name is. Comes from Eureka.

There's always that one @%$& who has to bring in left wing politics into every conversation, and YOU did not disappoint!

Personally I wouldn't really call them mechanics. They're all basic "hidden until last second telegraphed" AoE's :(

welp if it's just too ez then just enjoy Savage and let us super casuals enjoy not dying so much lol

@@mythrapi73 KOing isn't a bad thing so long as you learn why you KO'd in the first place. The issue with these fights is that they're all doing basic low level + mid-boss dungeon attacks we've all seen before. You kinda expect more Alliance Raid (or even Trial) mechanics in an Alliance Raid, you know?

And yet people die left and right. What you might find suitable for yourself might be stupid difficult for others. Do you know the percentage of raiders on WoW? It's abysmally small compared to the rest of the player base. I imagine Square wants these things accessible to anyone that wants to give a try, not just to the elites. @@Nesaru

@@OriginalDrGonzo Don't know why you're bringing WoW/hardcore raiders into this when I'm not even asking for Extreme/Savage/Ultimate difficulty. What I'm asking for is more Alliance Raids similar to Ivalice. If you've done those raids on release day, you'd know exactly what I mean and immediately see why the Myth raids are just 24man dungeons, especially when compared to the Crystal Tower raids. The fact that Crystal Tower has more Alliance Raid mechanics than a level 90 Alliance Raid is really bad imho. Even some of the most casual players I know say Thaleia was disappointingly boring because most of the attacks the bosses in Thaleia use they've already seen in MSQ dungeons. The only interesting thing in Thaleia was Llymlaen's knockback, but even that's just a mad dash back into the middle.

Yeah probably. Don't underestimate the community's ability to fail to read every cue the game gives and walk into every aoe and mechanic.

Bruh, i saw an complete alliance die Today bcs noone interupted the first Trashpack. XD

It could be fun to explain the mechanics of the Thaleia bosses while showing something from a dungeon to really hammer home how... nothing these fights were lol Like when you're explaining knockbacks, show Kelpie. Or the in/out mechanics, show the final boss of Copperbell Mines. For Left/Right, uh... first boss of Vanaspati?

My mom plays this game, and it's safe to say she's nowhere near as good as you. Should we deprive her this guide because you feel like it's unfuckingnecessary? Not everyone plays games all day every day and it's unfair to assume everyone should play as well as you do. Jesus Christ. There are more people that play this game that aren't as good as you than those who are. Square Enix wants the game to be accessible to anyone that wants to give it a try. Go do Ultimate content if you want a challenge. As per usual the gamer thinks only of themselves and never for others. It's unfathomable to think there might be someone out there who needs a guide and if they do I guess it's just pitiful and they should uninstall eh? This is why I cherish the gaming community. This is why I don't bother to even communicate with any gamers these days outside of what is necessary, because y'all are shallow and obnoxious. I half expect you people to be crowns, rescue people to their deaths and bitch at players struggling in their very first raids ever of Labyrinth of the Ancients.

@@OriginalDrGonzo Why write such a completely pointless novel? There's no question of making the casual content difficult; casual content has always been accessible to everyone! Now, they've made it completely ridiculous. Even the 24-man raids "Ivalice and nier," your mom could certainly have done them at their release. So, keep your unnecessary tantrums to yourself.

Eh, I've been playing for 8 years and I still appreciate having a guide for some of these mechanics. Individual mechanics I can usually pick up on blind, but it's usually when things combine together that I panic and need some help finding the safe spot. There's a wide range of player skills in the game, and I appreciate that there's content in the game for all skill levels!

People who end their statements with lol have absolutely no ground on which to mock anyone. Apart from that, the raid features a couple of messy mechanics, so why wouldn't people want to look that up? Holy cow, do the community a favor and go play Fortnite.
