I have just come off a bad experience so bear with me

So I’m chilling in chat. I mention that I stilll need G4. Someone pipes up they can do it

So I join and the first G4 boss is Morsagurei, who has 4 legs that regenerate

This guy rushes in with nothing but himself, me, and one other. 3 total.

And you know the rest. Boss rages, we die.
He wants to try again. Boss rages, we die

So I leave, switch to an alt, proceed to do bounties. I get a whisper.

He’s got 2 saders now. 5 of us total. Fine I switch back to main and his 2 saders leave

Now I have to block him. I have wasted 30 minutes doing nothing and have to recharge my phone

Now I am not asking anyone to carry me. I am 3K over CR. What I would like is some sort of proof or test you know how to do this before I commit my time

Could there be some kind of CAPTCHA with the bosses legs that all 8 players have to click on to even get to the boss fight?

Maybe some simple Tetris blocks with boss mechanics you have to clear before the fight starts?

I need some sort of “show me” or “prove it” button

Maybe a little badge or frame I can check that says I have done this before

The game is already time locked against the player. The player should have some way to filter all this out

As it is I don’t even want to attempt moderate difficulty activities because there is no reward for failure.

I’m not asking for free loot. I’m not asking for a CR filter, though that would be nice. This boss is about regenerating legs not CR

I just want a better chance of success. Something better than random groups

Then stop going in with less than 8 players.

With the exception of INF6 Boss 5, all the other Helliquary Raid bosses are rated for 1-8 players, i.e. their HP / damage scales according to how many players enter the raid.

Gauntlets are different. They are rated for 8 players, i.e. their HP / damage does not scale, it’s always set at the level where it’s expected that there’ll be 8 players bashing it.

So, going in 3-man, to an encounter hard-coded for 8-man, means you need to do just under three times the usual damage a player at the expected CR could manage.

Well, you could ask players that want to join to apply this cosmetic…

…as that’s gained from having defeated the Inferno 4 Gauntlet.

Of course, all that guarantees is that they were in a raid which defeated it, not that they know what they’re doing, or have enough damage / mitigation to help, because they too could have been carried through it by folks with lots of damage and/or big wings.

Basically, be more choosy with who you recruit to the raid, and don’t go in short-manned.
