The main event fight with Odin has been confirmed to be "Hard Mode". There will be an extreme mode.Solaire of Astora said:Ah. London Fan Fest, I'm assuming? I'm jealous; I live frigging thousands of miles away from Las Vegas unless I'm on a long break from school, so no opportunity like that for me. That and they scheduled it during my school semesters so it's doubly impossible.The White Hunter said:Also we killed Odin. Have t-shirts and photos to prove it.Solaire of Astora said:Yeah, I know the feeling with end-game jackasses.TizzytheTormentor said:I wasn't an MMO player for a long time, but I decided to try FFXIV because a few friends on here were trying it, still subbed since January, definitely hooked me in a way no other MMO could. I like the content, I enjoy doing roulettes and the raid content is fun to learn (though you better get a full static for it, end game is populated with jackasses who kick you for small slip-ups)
I myself play on Moogle btw.
I basically transferred over from another MMO with a group of friends I already had, so the issue of finding a static was pretty much moot. We're still stuck on Turn 9 of the Second Coil, though. Sucks. ;_;
Can't wait for it to hit and for all the i130 twats to start raving how easy it is. > > Try it on a PS4, without mouse hotkeys, and in flat unweathered soldiery gear, with crap food and random muppets on the show floor.
I'm assuming when Odin is implemented for everyone else that it'll only be available as an 'Extreme' version. That or the hard mode will be around i85 or i90. But we'll have to see.
Odin is not that complex tbh, you dodge his AoE, kill Gungnir adds on spawn. At 13 minutes or 15% HP he moves to the middle and begins his Zantetsuken cast.
At this point he does nothing else. If he casts it you wipe. It is a straight damage race. Everybody needs cooldowns, Requiem should be up, both healers in cleric with plenty of mana for Holy and Shadow Flare + Dots and maybe Selene, if you can slow your damage to prep selene in advance that is. Tanks also need to switch to DPS form and throw everything at him. We had the fastest zantetsuken kill according to the event overviewers, the trick was to use Final Heaven above 15%, around 16-20%, so your melee can go crazy immediately after
Everyone is going to outgear it considerably on launch, extreme will likely have more dangerous AOE and such with a faster cast.
