…this thread helped me manage it in one go today - thank you
Yesterday however - My journey…
The so called no issue 1st phase got me killed a few times, purely for being ranged and deciding to stand at a distance, so was naturally knocked off the ledge I learnt to hug Dimensius instead and jump around while that phase played out.
I never saw the notification to take flight so died at that stage! I learnt that when it starts that phase just to spam my mount button and I will eventually mount up!
I then was like, now what, as a big brick thing was coming towards me, safe to say I died! I learnt when I mounted up, to head left of it and saw the rings and flew through them to the 1st platform.
I then attacked the mob, and when the line things appeared, noted which way the NPCs went and followed them! When the mob died, spammed my mount button till I was on it, and looked up and slightly to the left -saw the rings and worked my way through them( forgot to mention I was on dynamic flight, but only used the surge forward). Landed on the 2nd platform and did the same actions like the 1st.
When that finished I was sucked to the last stage - I mainly hugged Dimensius while the blue circles moved, staying very close to the NPCs and watching when they moved, I was their shadow! Then it ended!
Completed all that - the next stage if you didn’t know is to then pop into a dungeon - did that in follower mode - so all completed
Can’t really say it was hard. finally got myself to go do it only to die once when you enter phase 2 and about to fly. It bugged out “you can’t use ground mounts here” or something. I looked it up, was a known bug. Tried again and it was a breeze on the second try when it allowed me to mount up to fly. All the mechanics and phases worked as intended with plenty time to get out of aoe and such.
I was sitting at 689 Ilvl on my Ele sham when I did it.
I had the mount issue in LFR yesterday.
Couldn’t mound whatsoever, flight form didn’t work, clicking mount button didn’t work, selecting mount from the mount tab and clicking mount didn’t work.
Was interesting to see the entire fight from the floor though.
Nice blue.
Great. Agree in all. This thing is so far from my abilities that i just dropped the whole lot after beeing killed 3- 4 times without even knowing how or why. Not a chance to improve. Very, very far from other storymodes I’ve experienced. Bad experiences are great in one way: One step nearer to quit fhe Game for good.
Those changes made it like a walk in the park. You can now even use steady flight, AI’s will pull minibosses and start attacking them while wait you to get there.
Ok gave in and watched a YouTube video, why there are gold arrows on the mounted bit i have no idea but that was what was messing it up i seemed to keep dying for no reason. Now its literally Press 1 and boost through rings ignore the yellow arrows! Doh.
I’m not sure why I found this thread surprising funny but I think back to how off guard I was the first time i tried this and I do think it’s too player unfriendly for the community as a whole.
Story mode is usually a walk-through without much challenge, so seeing one shot mechanics and some weird flying phase was like whoa. I wasn’t expecting to fly through rings and just died.
IMO in Story mode you shouldn’t be able to fall of anything or be one shot. It should be solely for entertainment puproses, stress free and just fun.
You don’t know who is trying to complete it out there, disabled, a child of just someone who isn’t used to those mechanics. They did a terrible job explaining what to do. Your mom that never plays video games should be able to complete Story mode. I know a ton of players are going to be frustrated with it and not happy with the experience even if they manage it after many fails.
