I had a similar experience. To sound like an elitist standing on my soapbox, it's the first MSQ portion to require you to actually handle intro-to-raiding mechanics. Chrysalis has the bog-standard "kill this to not die" bits, and Levi has "click this to not die" but SoF has multiple instances of one-attempt mechanics. Failing them usually means you all die, unless you've got comparable-to-raid-dps numbers.
It's possible to get it on the retry, like anything else, but it's also simple for vital mechanics to get dropped because someone jumps the gun or mistimes or the ever-popular lag spike gets them. If you can do it, it's super simple. If you can't do it, it's borderline impossible.
You know, just like Titan EX. You either dodge landslides or you don't.
You would think that after running the story and their trials that you would learn some things. I did Halatali hard before Levi HM and I learned that clicking things tends to save your life. So when the "PUSH ME" happened, I caressed that device and boom we all lived. There's also a little common sense as well. Big thing, big feet, you go under it and SQUISH. Makes sense. Now the adds being at the front is less of a previous experience/common sense thing but it's definitely something you figure out after the first failure especially when you're on cannon fodder duty.Â
From my experience of running that trial now seven times, all successes due to a majority premade, is that every sod that's not in that premade tends to be a little...egoistic or didn't think about checking advice from anyone or anything before. No, I'm not expecting you to read an in-dept guide but for goodness sake at least ask for/check for advice!
Put aside your differences in demege pur seecunds and itum revels and focus on what's in front and together you sun of a beach.
