Wir arbeiten derzeit ein wenig hinter den Kulissen an Seite und Forum. Daher ist das Forum derzeit temporär down. Auch diese Seite kann hin und wieder nicht erreichbar sein. Am Ende wird aber alles wieder gut. 😀

Ich möchte allen eine frohe Weihnacht sowie einen guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr wünschen. Viel Erfolg in 2014!
I’d like to wish you a merry christmas and a happy new year. May 2014 be fruitful for everyone!

Been a while now, but i think the time is ripe for some frontpage News ~
I think most of you already know it, but for those that don’t, Shadowflame isn’t what you might call an „Endgame“ group anymore.Since any and all Endgame content is currently maxed at 8 Players and new content with 2.1 still only being 8 man Content with the rest of the group being put together by the Duty Finder i decided that it’s time to build a static group to enjoy Content with without the need to always explain strategies to new Members.

When i started this game i was expecting to see content that actually would’ve allowed me to enjoy it with all of my friends at the same time.But it turned out that we only got very restrictive content that at the same time locks you out once you’ve completed it, making you unable to help others or simply enjoy it again untill it’s resetted.

There are many Free Companies out there that start building multiple groups within their FC, but i don’t see the reason why i should do that.in the end i’ll be leading a whole FC but only play within my own static group while others do the same.i rather have a strong group of people that i know and play with daily.i don’t want to think of Members as „backup“ or „reserve“ players that can jump in just because i miss one.

So, untill SE finally starts to actually offer me content that requires more than 8 players i won’t bother leading more than 8 players 🙂

On a different note~
We’ve built a static to do The Binding Coil of Bahamut weekly and so far we’ve been very succesful.
After having cleared Turn 1,2 & 3 within a week we’ve already started working towards Turn 4! sadly we lost one of our static Members (Mosark Yonkou) to Real Life and now require a new SCH to fill his place.But i’m sure we’ll get one soon, in the meantime we’ll try to fill the last spot with randoms, tho, a static member would be way better ^_^

There also is a new Video of us doing Coil Turn 3 (yea we missed recording Turn 2 and we even did a first try win!!!! >_<) and a few new Pictures, enjoy~

Update :

in addition to last weeks Turn 3 Video Fidi recorded this weeks Turn 2 so i could update the News.

1 Month has passed, time for another news update!

After a good month of doing Titan after Titan, we’ve finally decided to switch our Raid focus over to the Binding Coil of Bahamut.We’re not completely new to BCoB, yet we’ve never really put any focus on it, seeing how 2.1 won’t bring much new Content besides the Crystal Tower and also there is the the weekly lockout of BCoB.

Many might argue the usefulness of this Dungeon considering the fact that currently you might aswell just grab your AFv2 equipment, upgrade your Relic to +1 and call it a day, but is still an interesting dungeon that has yet to be beaten by a group of Players that wasn’t using a glitch.
It also is a continuation of the main story, so there is that reason to actually beat it.

Currently the Binding Coil of Bahamut is built of 5 Floors, or also called „Turns“.
Floor 1,2 & 5 have boss fights, while 3 & 4 only have regular monsters in them, once you beat a floor you and your groups IDs will update and allow you to enter the next Floor, but forbid you from entering a lower Floor untill the weekly reset, which happens every Monday @ 17:00 (CEST)

So far we’ve managed to advance to Floor 2.That’s not so bad considering that we just started doing BCoB, but still, BCoB is a very hard dungeon with alot of frustraiting deaths heh.

though, personally i’m still looking forward to the Crystal Tower alot more than BCoB even if it’s supposed to be easier Content next to BCoB.
I just favor Content that allows bigger groups, allowing me to invite everyone in the Free Company to have fun at once, instead of just going with 8 Players.I wish FFXIV had more unrestrictive content like FFXI had, where i could choose the size of my group.Oh well, maybe we’ll get more Open World content at some point 🙂

Anyways, Binding Coil of Bahamut is in and Titan is out (that doesn’t mean we won’t do him if a Member needs him though XD)

First week after returning to regular Event times has passed and alot has been done.

Our plan was to finish atleast our first Relic Weapon we have started working on with during 1.0 and after alot of deaths and high repair costs we’ve been able to finish this task just on our last Titan fight before we had planned to log-out for the day.

We’ve already been prepearing for the Primal fights in the background before actually planning Events again, killing Chimera / Hydra & Ifrit of random occassions as our fingers got numb from all the Amdapor Keep speedrunning.

Garuda & Titan kept us in check for quite some time, but thankfully to our previous Garuda experience and a little hint by Luke & Don we were able to finish off Garuda without problems.
Titan on the other hand was a pain in the ass untill the last minute.Saying we’ve wiped atleast 50 times to him would probably be an understatement, but what i can say is that we used up atleast 15 hours + fighting him to finally finish him off once.

Though, with Titan finally dropping to his knees, a portion of our Endgame group has finally finished off their first Relic, Congratulations.
This doesn’t mean we stop here tho, we’ve still got to run this a few times for our remaining Members to finish their first Relic and probably do another right after.

Mentioning this, now there also is Bahamuths Coil to add in to the Endgame mix.
Not quite focusing on it yet to be our main Event, although, Bahamuths Coil is something i’m looking forward to do, to keep a good mix between working on our Relics.

While i don’t have a Video of our Titan win (which i will surely record tho another time) i can still present you with one from Ifrit & Garuda tho.

And lastly, under a plethora of screenshots showing me while i drop from Titans platform or lying on the ground, i have taken atleast one screenshot of our Win.

UPDATE :

finally managed to get a Titan Video of our 2nd Win.
