MikeB✭✭✭✭✭Cries an over easy mechanic in a beyond easy game is made more obvious. Not a nerf, more of a friendly reminder.Edited by MikeB on April 13, 2016 3:16AM0 -

The only thing that changes is that you have more time for "action X" hardly interesting and hardly a nerf. Actually when observing the boss as he has his Void Armor buff one can see it flicker during "action X". There is no way the 1 second you have to make sure the boss doesn't become unkillable after a 10 minute fight is intended.Korah_Eaglecry wrote: »So they didnt actually nerf it they just gave away youre precious little secret.

Community spirit = giving tactics to people too lazy to find out themselves (probably wont clear the instance anyways)? Lol, silly.
We did it perfectly three times so far, if you are 1s late for doing Action X then you get punished but its not over yet its just makes harder. The more fail on Action X the more you get punished but now it will be "Oh I forgot that thing but still can do it" instead of "Oh *** too late for me I have to make up for it"
If ZOS insisted on doing this I'd love to see that stage goes faster then, otherwise it will feel like The Mage enrage phase
RETIRED

You actually have 3-4 seconds to prepare. I guess we're defensive of the original mechanic because we were under the impression it was intended, we took the time to figure out exactly how it worked, created a tactic, then cleared vMOL multiple times. We watched videos, I timed everything, then we made the tactic fit.its a very obvious mechanic but they didn't go into details so why are you guys mad lol
Agreed. It is very obvious. We worked it out after our first time seeing it. The fact there's less of a punishment for not being prompt makes it less interesting to me now.
Alas, if it helps more people clear it I'm cool with that too
most people from our guild have been helping others progress with explanations of mechanics, and we will release videos and explanation for all once the other guilds start clearing it too. We're not keeping things secret to harm the community, we just understand that the funnest part of new content is figuring out the mechanics yourself. We won't release a last boss video and take that away from the other progression guilds so soon. Server: EU Pact

LMAO. No ones asking for anyone to tell them anything. And calling people lazy...whos lazy? Honestly I doubt it was THAT much effort to take notice of a mechanic in the Trial. How pathetic to try and act as if someone did SO MUCH WORK there to do something anyone capable of being observant could of noticed.
Calling someone out for their lack of community spirit has nothing to do with them NOT telling people the secret. But in fact the whiney wambulance self entitled attitude that they should be able to keep that secret from the rest of the community and cry about it to ZOS when they go in and do some changes. WAAHHHHHHHH we arent special snowflakes anymore!
Please, don't try and school people on attitude when you yourself are trying to make a point using the vocabulary and linguistic skill of a mad twelve-year-old whose mother didn't buy him an ice cream. Mostly if you want to win an argument, you make your opponent look stupid, not yourself.
It's rather laughable, and sad, mainly sad, but nonetheless entertaining.
So youre an expert on lingustics, vocabulary and the age of anyone using them? Thats interesting. Wanna guess my weight too?

I don't think they did any harm with the patch notes, knowing the mechanic isn't the hard part, solving it is. But thats my opinionYoloWizard wrote: »

If anything, the posts in this thread are giving it away more than the patch notes lol you guys should stop going into so much details about it honestly.Edited by Nifty2g on April 14, 2016 1:55AM#MOREORBS0 -

I'm actually not against helping people with a few hints (as you may know :P) but I think it's better that the information comes from someone who worked for it rather than ZOS giving it away. The patch all but describes it for those that are literate imo.Server: EU Pact
