Hello Monster, my old friend
I've come to raid with you again
Because a tier is burning everything
Unlocks when I'm norm'ly sleeping
And the bosses that were planted in my game
Still remain
Upon the eve of Savage
Probably the only way to make it better would be to not release capped tomes until Savage, same as xpac launch
Savage drop is a nice birthday gift 😄
Also the "not kingdom hearts" criterion with Traverse Town, 100acre Woods, and Agrabah sections has really got me excited
Routine
Welp, I dodged the surprise mass layoffs
Unfortunately my work bff and literally everyone I conversed with about anything non-work related didn't
:c
So uh I might have put too many veggies in my weekly veggie mix (can of pop for scale)
1) Fantastic Tier, I'm pretty sure we only ranked so high cause other people's PTO ran out or something
2) Absolutely love how tight all the w1 checks are and how different jobs actually affect different parts of each fight
3) LOVELOVELOVE the no-markers-final-phase arena

Why do my friends like to torture me?
Dude sends me this cutesy romance manga like an hour before bedge. I decided to read a few chapters and now I'm mad at the characters and can't sleep
I do think in most aspects SE did Eden justice with this ultimate raid, but the insane amount of backpedaling on difficulty and failure penalty after TOP makes this feel more like a svg+ than an actual ulti. I think I'll be spending more time in EW ultis than FRU this xpac, and that's disappointing
Part of my prog issues this fight was partly because I was so bored as a tank in the first half of the fight. I'd frequently zone out - spamming aoe combos to guild gauge in every single phase. 2 out of my 3 clears so far have not even had a final phase dps lb with final phase deaths
I really enjoyed the uptime/downtime duration choices, and felt that a harder dps check could have made rotational optimization enjoyable for the first time since ShB.
The point of Damage Down for failure is to prevent u from meeting the check. If u still meet the check, you aren't being penalized.
FRU excelled in presentation, themeing, and had insanely HQ VA work.
FRU suffered in listening to the playerbase. The mechanics were too easy, too resistant to failure, and had zero dps check; the exact opposite of TOP.
Make Black Halo an Enum. Darkest Dance do 3x dmg. Ahk Morn an Enum. #NerfPct
The amount of people that argue in favor of a strictly worse pf strat is painful and leaves me worried for the state of PF.
I can only hope that common perception changes over the next few weeks.
Not that I *need* FRU to be easier, but pf players would benefit from being able to prog/clear reliably
Week 2 reclear - in an out in under an hour......what do I do with the rest of my week now?
Fruit Loops Day 7 clear-World 40 NA 16
Had an absolute blast World Progging this ultimate, and this static was fantastic to raid with. Complete gamers each and every one, absolutely iron mental and positive attitudes - even a 0.5% enrage wipe with the boss scream voiceline the pull immediately prior
In other news, tomorrow is the clear.....surely....
:prayge:
Good thing about my meds- I make significantly less mistakes in raid
Bad thing about my meds - I can't fucking fall asleep
P5!!!!!!!!!
:LETSFUCKINGGOOOOOOO:
Managed to get past adds phase on the last pull of the day. Not doing too shabby, now we get to see how the groups endurance is
