Twintania downed because FFXIV is so much easier than [insert name here]

"Titan for serious this time guys"

Titan does five 21-way landslides in a row with two safe spots, but he flashes all five 21-way blue line patterns in sequence before he does them so you have to memorize the pattern.

On the second and fourth landslides he does a simultaneous weight of the land. This weight of the land leaves a pool of heavy lava.

On the first, third, and fifth landslide he does a simultaneous mountain buster. This mountain buster leaves a stack, a determination down debuff, a DoT, and puts you in a gaol after 5 seconds. The gaol is also a bomb.

There will be a new set of bomb patterns (spiral! hash-tag! nazi sign!) in addition to our old favorites but for some reason they will be easier to dodge than the bombs in Ultimate Extreme Titan 1: 3rd Strike. Tanks will still refuse to dodge them.

Titan's tumults start from 1 and double each time he does them. Each stomp is a mini-knockback like upheaval.

The final platform is now only as large as Titan's targeting ring.

Not only is this completely OD but way too much time was spent planning it out.

but it is an amazing idea, and for that I applaud you

Titan's ring separates into 8 small platforms that you must be in precise positions to be knocked back into after Geoupheaval. Then you need to kill his 10 hearts which break into additional platform space. Each killed heart spawns 5 Granite Gaolers who autoattack with Mountain Buster.

[OWS_Tonx]

Additionally, you need 4 tanks in this phase swap stacks. Where is your god now?

[Tymon]

What's funny is there are still fights designed more ridiculously that were actually put into MMOs than what you guys are brainstorming right now.

[kmexe]

And you can only enter as alliance assembled using Duty Finder.

Nah. Titan jumps once more after the arena is already its smallest, breaking it into 7 hexagonal pillars. The gaps in between them are small enough that as long as you don't try to walk across them, you'll easily jump across. This is a titans heart phase. If his heart is broken in time, after recovering from the stun he returns to the middle hexagonal pillar and jumps, knocking it down. Four mini-titan things spawn. They hit for reduced damage, such that a deepz would be able to tank one, like in extreme-- but when they hit you they put an increased damage taken debuff on you that doesn't stack and lasts for less than their auto-attack time. This makes it so that a tank could hold 2, maaaaybe three, but a normal deeeepz wouldn't really be able to handle more than one. Right before they landslide/as they are about to start a landslide, molten rocks hit two random pillars doing a tiny amount of damage (like bombs) and put that gravity/damage floor dot on the pillar. It does more damage though, enough to kill you very quickly. Two pillars are chosen randomly again every time the mini-titans landslide, with the old floor dot wearing off as the rocks fall. After a certain amount of time titan comes back down and the middle pillar comes back up. If the mini-titans aren't dead yet they now spam landslides almost as if it was an auto attack.

This sounds so fun that no pug would ever be able to beat it.

[Judai]

Until they nerf it two weeks later and add Echo buff for the casuals.

[Kaisha]

I don't see the point of the nerfs. Sure, you may be able to make it past conflags with lower DPS now, and have a little more leniency on snakes, but if you have low DPS, you're going to run into the rage timer anyways, unless that got nerfed also....

[Deadgye]

Tanks/Healers said they felt Caduceus was hitting for less, and it felt like his stacks were going up slower to me.

Was even turn 1 hit by the nerf football?

Word on the street is that it was nerfed and maybe removed entirely. I guess our group can start selling runs or something, since there's no way you need more than 2-3 DPS now.

[Skeelo]

Just did t5 attempts and didnt notice any change in hp on conflags or snakes. Also did twitania app break for anyone else?

[Tymon]

The enrage timer WAS NOT removed. It is just longer. People on reddit confirmed it does still exist.

[Lokus]

This just in, the T2 and T5 changes are unintentional bugs that came about from fixing other things.

プロデューサ/ディレクタの吉田です。

大迷宮バハムート:邂逅編 第二層/第五層において、Patch2.15と挙動が変わっている箇所があり、
調査のため、ご報告が遅れてしまい、ご迷惑をおかけしています。

現在開発チームはPatch2.2「混沌の渦動」に向け、コンテンツのバグFIXなども並行しており、
今回の挙動変化は他のバグを修正した内容がパッチ2.16に適用されて発生してしまいました。

この2層と5層の挙動変化を以前の状態になるよう、現在慎重に修正と修正後検証を行っています。
出来る限り早く緊急メンテナンスで修正致しますので、今しばらくお待ちください。
（XHBのターゲット入力挙動も同時にPatch2.15に戻します）。

どのような修正を行ったために挙動変化したかは、この後別ポストで解説させていただきます。


なお、一部の方が「裏パッチ」と呼んでいるような「意図的な告知無しの修正」はポリシーとしておこなっていません。
（仮にそれを行ったとしても、プレイヤーの皆さんはすぐ気付かれると思いますので一切利がありません）
これまで幾つかミスによるパッチノートへの記述漏れや、今回のような意図しない変化が発生してしまったため、
誤解を生むような結果となってしまい、本当に申し訳ありません。

引き続き、出来得る限りミスのないアップデート運用になるよう、努力致しますのでご理解頂けますと幸いです。

Incoming emergency maintenance to fix it along with some XHB issues. The LB bar regen is probably going to change too cause that shit is definitely bugged. My group reached 3 bars easily with 2 PLDs and 3 BRDs in the party when with all different jobs before patch we just barely reach 2 bars.

[Avarice]

Man, I really hope Yoshi doesn't revert it. I rather like the Turn 2 changes to enrage; so amusing seeing people who could do it before no longer able to.

[Eanae]

They should revert turn 5 except the conflag thing, and keep turn 2 as is.

[Kirbyprime]

So finished T5 and, assuming that the conflags / snakes isn't the bug they were talking about. I hate the change. We actually wiped more because, we killed the conflag too fast. Twice we killed the conflag before the fireball went off and ended up killing ourselves. LB was indedd weird since we got LB3 with 2 bards and 2 blm.

I didn't get a chance to look at the mini-snake's HP but it looks like roughly 5.5k HP give or take a few hundred. We subbed in a lower level bard and still had a good 12-15~ seconds before Twintania came back down.

[sephir]

Big snake had 189-189k HP. What was it before? Also my group tonight wiped more because of changes, we actually had to stop DPS a few times entirely because we would end up with bad phase changes.

[Kaisha]

Should get someone with a parser to check if they lowered the ACC requirement for T5 also, since it was one of the main sticking points between it and the rest of the game's content as far as gear requirement went.
