New Dragon-Mireu

Hey i was there for this last night! Was a crock of ***. I barely ever do di as it is, but after that crap with mireu there's no point in even barely ever doing it.

Wait wait. I know this. I’ve sorta seen it before…

Step 1… Mireu keeps winning, and we complain
Step 2… SE says “working as intended”, but they also eventually relent, and releases several videos, one for each of the different languages, showing vague hints on how to knock down the last 1%
Step 3… ???
Step 4… profit

So is this just some mechanic? This doesn't come across as a bug, it's happening for some specific reason.

It's not unheard for monsters to lock at .0001% hp until you do a specific thing. Even during sky times there was a monster that would not die unless you got a kill show with a specific weapon.

That sounds plausible, but whats not consistent is that so many people throwing stuffs and it doesnt trigger the proc.

Well, this do points out that the proc is related to inflicting some dmg to it. So, it would make sense if Mireus gets invincible, not further dmg is done and be becomes unkillable.

Nope and probably never will be with the inevitable 50+ players and their trusts wailing on it at the end. Most of the time the chat log is nearly broken by that point.

This was happening with some frequency on Asura for a while, to the point I think we had 2 or 3 (maybe more) losses in a year because of it. It was drowned out by the Spike Flail drama that followed.

There was some theorycrafting that it related to the person who received the buff for killing the last fodder mob, but I don't think anything was confirmed. It's such a rare thing to observe, it's equally possible it's just a bug and it doesn't work as intended, but they haven't figured that out yet.

Person who got the buff needing to kill was always my thought, but I've never cared enough to go.

Other people say that's not the condition, but other people are wrong far too often.

Nothing else really makes sense, other than it really is simply a purposeful *** you reset.
(Not that I would accuse ffxi of ever being logical)

Nah, I’ve gotten the Awakening status, then Mireu popped, and about midway through I died, then my son woke up from a nap and I came back to it dead about an hour later.

But you did some amount of damage to it, say you got the buff but never hit mireu at all, would it still die. Or you home pointed.

It's silly ***like that.

That’s true, I did die around 50%, and it was early on so the lag wasn’t astounding.

Having been to about 80 Mireu fights at this point I have to assume that the awakening buff has little to do with it. Prior to the spike flail nerf I had seen known bots get the buff then die to a flail in a few seconds. I’ve seen trusts pets etc take the buff. It doesn’t matter who gets the buff. Thing to keep in mind is that once the proc phase begins melee attacks no longer generate TP so if that phase doesn’t end fast weapon skills quickly become exhausted. The exception is tp feed from Selh’teus trusts and any regain status effects including the awaken buff. It is entirely possible that the proc is a specific weapon skill or ability that occasionally rolls a rarely used job specific skill. It’s unlikely because the occasions I have seen it bug out on have actually been pops during peak hours, if this were the case you would expect statistically to see it happen during those midnight pops that even on Asura sometimes time out but most reports seem to show it reaching this phase in under 30 minutes which is only possible under extreme overcrowding. On average this phase lasts under 20 seconds

WooHoo we lost a Mireu good job everyone

He sat at 1% for 20 minutes and kept refusing to give in, that was frustrating.

I heard about it. Does anyone know why he took zero damage for so long and what is the mechanic to break it? The wiki is pretty much empty as far as mechanics are concerned. Not that I personally bother with Domain Invasion/Mireu anymore, but that is frustrating to lose the bonus for absolutely no reason.

Do you even play this game any more? Or are you just forcing yourself to hang around these forums stewing in your own hate? Literally go touch grass holy hell.

I'm doing whatever I can to rustle your jimmies. Seems to be working.

Well, for lesser populated server, this is a common occurence unfortunelly

He just sells gil for a living, he hates it cause its his job and he has 10+ of chars running 24/7. If they ever shut the game down he will be cleaning toilets with a toothbrush the day after.

Considering this game lets him live a somewhat normal life and pays all his bills it's crazy how much of an annoying ***** he is about the game and to the community. Any normal person in his position would be the biggest XI fanboy the world has ever seen, and try get more people to play it. Crazy asf.

RA!

Did he break free from the prison Afania set up for him?

I thought he was gone for good

We had around 90 players on it. It's the first time I actually managed to see and engage Mireu lol

I was landing Para2, Slow2, Dia3, Poison2, Inundation, Silence, Blind2 no problem (some were taking their sweeeet amount of immunobreak to land)
Never managed to land Frazzle3, Distract3 and Addle2 without Stymie.

Never managed to land a Dispel either,
It stayed at 1% for over 10 mins.

I heard that landing Para2, Slow2, Dia3, Poison2, Inundation, Silence, Blind2 with no problem trigger it’s invincibility.

Sechs it is all your fault!

Maybe try poison next time?

Maybe the Ebon Panels have something to do with it.

Yay of course one time I forget his pop window is open ?

It's probably something dumb like /sigh emote five times in a row after "refusing to give in". We won't find out about it until the 25th anniversary AMA where they drop a graph showing mobs that react to emotes that we had no idea existed

I got most Useless poster blocked, so i don't waste my time reading trash posts from "no lifers" dwelling in these fourms.

I’ve actually been to a kill in which at the very end there were only a handful of us alive enough to actually hit it. I’m pretty sure the proc is just a random occurrence not tied to a particular ability. At a minimum it will never be definitively identified

I would bet its something related to dmg. Probably something like "after message, deal X fire, water, magic, physical dmg or other"

That would explain why after he gets to 1%, if hes not vulnerable, then it wont go down.

That or another plausible sxplanation is that its glitched, like he needing to say its bullshits before dying, but if playerbase drop it too fast, it skip the messages and dont die, like other NMs we see that requires some event before dying.

Possibilities!
