Like when the tank tanks Ravana near the wall and he destroys it and then gets knocked off by the first Tapasya hit that you can't dodge

I need a WAR to go into A4S full VIT, pop Thrill, and solo eat Fracture. I think it might be survivable! 3.2 farm stratsssss
Okay I know it's been awhile since I've done Ravana, but I don't think Tapasya does a knock back, or if it does it isn't much of one. Again though, it's been awhile since I've done that fight.
That said, yes if you go into Ravana without using your head you're likely to get flattened, knocked off, etc etc. Though I might note that I was originally talking about non-EX trials raids at sixty. I did specifically say that if you were going to do Relic Reborn again you probably wouldn't want to tie it to trials that were Extreme level.
The difficulty of the original HM's is about right for that sort of thing, sans Titans ringout mechanic.

The 51+ voice acting is a little better.
In that they got actual british people to do their fake english.
I went back and checked, Tapasya has maybe a one foot knockback if that. Like I said, it's a non factor if you're using your head at all.
But go ahead, mock away! 9_9
Yeah, they recast basically everyone for Heavensward. They had to get it done quick and dirty for the ARR launch. The only thing I don't like is recasting Urianger from Gideon Emery (Balthier) to whoever he is now.
If you're tanking him at the absolute edge of the arena you'll end up knocked off, and I've seen it happen
We got permission now! WE DID IT!

Yes, I could see why it would. However considering the importance of keeping walls intact in that fight, I'd consider that less a mechanic and more human derpidity in action.
Sorry if I don't consider a one foot knockback a real ringout mechanic.

Merlwyb was the best of the old voices, as I recall. New one doesn't sound like she climbed a mountain of corpses to get where she is.
That's because new Merlwyb is soft. She hasn't done anything competent since 2.2.
you mean like standing in giant glowy lines coming out of the boss as he is charging his fist
As I said earlier, the problem with Titan HM was a combination of lag and ring out mechanics. In 2.1 they slightly reduced the lag issue by increasing the back-end position check rate in trial instances. Despite this, if they were to create new relic reborn trials, I wouldn't include ring out mechanics. There are plenty of other ways to add some level of difficulty to trials that aren't quite so punishing.
The old ones I liked were Y'shtola and Urianger. Thancred's actually isn't that bad either.
A lot of ARR's VA faults probably come from the rush to get it all done, so they couldn't do as many takes as something would normally get. Plus the reported minimal direction I think? Remember hearing they were basically given the script and told to go.
I kinda figured. <_<;;
Yes, the dungeons especially get quicker once you hit fifty, but the first few dungeons in this game are by far the most boring.

style wise. like how the dungeons are laid out are fairly similar (mobs, boss, mobs, boss, mobs, last boss)

Did she do anything competent in 2.2 really, it's been downhill since she called a meeting of pirates and shot half of them.

I don't know. I think Titan EX got its reputation for a reason...
Not saying other fights don't have ring-out mechanics, but I think you might be underestimating Titan EX a bit. You can say it was latency or whatever, but even doing it as Level 60 with pugs for pony farms, the sheer volume of people who still fall off is astounding. It's not even close. Levi EX deserves to be in the discussion, but I would say they just don't make them like they used to.
2.2 was leviathan right? She came out and shot a few sahagin. Better than sitting in her tower all day doing fuck all.

Oh look, a raid group that talks a lot during raid:

My post was mainly a rebuttal to the dismissal of 3.0 Primal ring out mechanics as ring out mechanics because they aren't Titan EX level, but this is the same person calling China i190 A4S as misleading cause they use draconian potions and a different party composition so idk.
And sure, I'm familiar with Titan Ex difficulty especially having to get my first clear with Ultros pugs.
Man. Don't mess with NEST. They are awesome.
Their roster changes are one of the sadder indicators of how badly this tier went even for the ultra casual raid groups.
I got nothing against the guys themselves, I think they're funny too D:

Why would you be named after the worst KoF saga tho.
Looks great! I'm starting to get hyped.
So far this is true for me for both Normal and HM. I hate it.
Where'd all the hair come from?
2.55 was March 30th. In 11 months I could see magical hair growth occurring for fanservice in-depth lore reasons. Compared to like
channeling The Peanut Butter Solution doesn't seem to crazy.
Alternate answer: have you guys ever used the aesthetician? Hair is just different there.
Y'shtola's magical Daredevil powers
