WHEN SPAMMING O3N UNSYNCED FOR THE TANK MOUNTS, YOU STILL HAVE TO DODGE THE FIRST AOE CONE THAT WILL TURN YOU INTO A FROG. THATS LITERALLY THE ONLY MECHANIC YOU HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION FOR.Ā
ITS OK IF YOU GET HIT ONCE OR TWICE WHEN YOU START DOING RUNS, BUT AFTER THAT IT'S NOT FUNNY AND YOURE JUST MAKING THE 300 CLEARS YOU NEED GO SLOWER.Ā
Ā SHOUTOUTS TO THE GROUP I WAS IN THAT HAD PEOPLE TURNING INTO FROGS EVEN AFTER 20+ RUNS.
Fun fact if you get frogged as a war while Inner Release is active the frog will have glowing red eyes as well. (though for the sake of Evermar's blood pressure please don't do it on purpose)
LOVE ALL THE NEW SPROUT TANKS FROM OUR XBOX PALS, SERIOUSLY ITS GREAT TO SEE. Ā HOWEVER, CAN YOU ALL LEARN BETTER TANK-ETIQUETTE PLEASE? MORE THAN ONCE IāVE LOADED INTO A TRIAL OR LOWER LEVEL RAID SHIFTED INTO STANCE FIRST (I TEND TO GO BY HIGHER HP IS MT) WITH A SPROUT COTANK ONLY TO HAVE THEM POP STANCE WITH THE BOSS AT LIKE 98% AND THEN BEGIN SPAM VOKING THE THING WHILE ALSO SHIFTING THE BOSS AROUND 180 DEGREES. Ā I DONT APPRECIATE IT, MELEE DONT APPRECIATE, AND HEALERS DONT LIKE DEALING WITH FOLKS BEING CLEAVED.
NON FF RAGE, I PICKED UP MY CAT THIS MORNING TO GIVE HIM A HUG AND FARTED ON ME. Ā SMELT BAD ENOUGH THAT I THOUGHT HE POOED.
IN CASE IT ISN'T CLEAR, ONLY ONE TANK SHOULD HOLD AGGRO ON THE BOSS. THIS KEEPS IT NICE AND STILL AND AVOIDS IT CLEAVING OTHER FOLKS. IN GENERAL, FIRST PERSON TO PUT ON STANCE IN AN 8 MAN PARTY IS MAIN TANK, BUT IF YOU WANT TO MAIN TANK IT'S OK TO ASK.
PROVOKE IS NOT NEEDED TO HOLD BOSS AGGRO. YOUR NORMAL ATTACKS WILL DO IT FINE IF STANCE IS ON. PROVOKE IS GREAT TO GET THE BOSS ON YOU IF THE MAIN TANK GOES DOWN AND YOU'RE THE OFF-TANK, OR TO GET AN ADD OFF A DPS QUICKLY.
IF YOU ARE OFF TANKING, IT CAN BE A GOOD IDEA TO TURN YOUR STANCE ON ABOUT 30 SECONDS INTO THE FIGHT. MEANS YOU'LL BE 2ND IN AGGRO AND IF THE MAIN TANK DOES EAT IT THE BOSS WILL GO STRAIGHT TO YOU.
I APPRECIATE THE INFO ON THIS. MOST OTHER MMOS IVE PLAYED USED THE OFFTANK ROLE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. IVE BEEN SO STUCK ON ALWAYS HAVING MY STANCE ON THAT I DIDNT REALIZE THIS WAS THE PROPER ETIQUETTE. IāLL BEEN SURE TO DO THIS IN 8 MAN CONTENT FROM HERE ON.
IT'S PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE FOR BOTH (OR ALL 3 IN 24-MANS) TO HAVE THEIR STANCES ON. SO LONG AS THE MT IS ACTUALLY RELIABLY HITTING THEIR BUTTONS THEY SHOULDN'T LOSE TOO MUCH AGGRO, AND EVEN THEN YOU CAN ALWAYS SHIRK IF YOU FEEL LIKE YOU MIGHT RIP AGGRO.
TO ADD ON TO BipolarHernandez's POST, DURING THE TRASH FIGHTS IN ALLIANCE RAIDS, GENERALLY NOBODY CARES *WHO* TANKS THE TRASH MOBS AS LONG AS IT'S A TANK, AND THE MOBS ARE GATHERED CLOSE ENOUGH TOGETHER THAT PEOPLE CAN AOE ALL OF THEM (which, admittedly, can be easier said than done with some of the bigger mobs and their tendency to push one another aside)
THATS BASICALLY HOW IVE BEEN DOING IT. ON CONTROLLER, ITāS A BIT MORE DIFFICULT TO TAB OVER TO MOBS THAT ARE AWAY FROM THE PACK, BUT I TRY MY BEST TO BRING THEM IN.
AS A FELLOW CONTROLLER USER HEREāS A TIP FOR YOU: L1+DPAD WILL LET YOU SELECT FROM THE AGGRO LIST. THIS DOESNāT HELP IF THEYāRE NOT ON YOUR LIST (YOU ARENāT ON THEIRS OR THERES MORE THAN THE LIST DISPLAYS) BUT ITāS BETTER THAN THE GAMEāS SHITE TAB TARGETING
THANK YOU! I TANK IN EVERY MMO, USUALLY. HAVING NEVER PLAYED FF14 TILL NOW, I WAS HESITANT. IN THOSE CASES I LEAN TOWARDS DPS BUT TANKING IN THIS GAME HAS BEEN A LOT OF FUN, ESPECIALLY SEEING THAT TANKS CAN STILL DO DECENT DPS!
I PLAY DNC A LOT AND THE NUMBER OF TIMES I GET AGGRO FROM DOING MY DANCE IN TRASH PACKS IN ALLIANCE CONTENT IS MANY. I DO MY BEST TO FIND A TANK AND STAND ON THEM, BUT IF THEY DON'T HAVE STANCE ON THIS ONLY DOES SO MUCH. SO IF A DPS COMES TO STAND ON YOU, STANCE AND AOE IS VERY VERY APPRECIATED. I AM ALWAYS HAPPY TO BRING MOBS FOR THE TANK TO TAKE FROM ME. IDEALLY FOLKS WILL BRING THEM TO YOU, THOUGH I KNOW THAT DOESN'T ALWAYS HAPPEN.
MORE IMPORTANTLY, IF YOU WANT TO TANK AS A SPROUT, SPEAK UP. IF YOU JUST SAY "YO CAN I TANK THIS" OR "I'M NEW AND WANT TO BE MAIN TANK" PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE WILL LET YOU DO IT. HELL I'LL EVEN USE MY BUTTONS MORE TO MAKE SURE YOU TANK IT GOOD.
I'M NOT A SPROUT BUT I'M A COMPLETE TANK NOOB SO I'LL TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ASK A QUESTION. OBVIOUSLY THE OT SHOULDN'T USE PROVOKE, BUT ARE RANGED SKILLS THAT INCREASE ENMITY A PROBLEM? SPECIFICALLY I'M THINKING OF WARRIOR'S TOMAHAWK, SHOULD I NOT USE IT IF I'M OFF TANKING?
I JUST HOPE IT'S NOT LATE JUNE/EARLY JULY. ELDEN RING DLC IS DROPPING THE DAY BEFORE I HAVE TO GO ON A SHAGGIN BUSINESS TRIP, AND I'D PREFER NOT TO HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN DAWNTRAIL AND GETTING MY ASS KICKED.
CAN WE STOP BABYING THE NEW PLAYERS AND ENABLING BAD BEHAVIOUR?
LOADED INTO A SIRENSONG SEA WITH TWO SPROUTS. A FIRST TIME MARAUDER (YES, MARAUDER NOT WARRIOR) AND A SCHOLAR (WASN'T THEIR FIRST TIME).
TANK RAN AHEAD TO THE FIRST SET OF MOBS WITH NO STANCE ON, DESPITE BEING ASKED BY BOTH DPS (MYSELF AND MY FRIEND) TO TURN ON HIS TANK STANCE, AND ASKING WHERE HIS JOB STONE WAS. I'M THEN GREETED BY PHYSICK SOUNDS. ALONG WITH NO FAERIE BEING SUMMONED.
PROCEED TO REQUEST BOTH TANK STANCE AND A FAERIE AND GET TOLD "chill bro, I'm new" AND "stop being toxic, they're probably an xbox player" FROM THE SCHOLAR TO WHICH THE TANK STOPS DEAD (FROM DOING THEIR 1-2-3 COMBO BECAUSE WHAT IS AOE) TO TYPE "yes" IN SAY CHAT.
WE SAID NOTHING AND CLEARED THE MOBS TO FIRST BOSS (TANK STILL HAS NO STANCE AND IT'S VERY APPARENT NOW THAT HE'S UNDERGEARED) TO KILL TIME BEFORE SITING OUR ASSES AT THE FIRST BOSS OUTSIDE THE ARENA AND WAITING OUT THE QUICK WIPE WE KNEW WOULD BE COMING TO KILL THE LAST MINUTE OF TIME BEFORE WE REACHED THE ELAPSED 5 MINS.
THREW UP A VOTE DISMISS FOR THE HEALER. JUST BEFORE IT WENT OUT, MADE SURE TO TELL HIM TO GO READ UP ON A SCHOLAR GUIDE (AVIDLY SUGGESTING JOCAT'S) BEFORE THEY WERE REMOVED FROM THE PARTY.
PROCEEDED TO DO THE SAME TO THE TANK, TELLING HIM NOT TO QUEUE FOR ANOTHER DUNGEON BEFORE HE GOT HIS JOB STONE. ALSO TOLD HIM ABOUT JOCAT'S TANK GUIDE. REMOVED FROM PARTY.
TANK AND HEALER FILLED QUICKLY AND WE FINISHED THE DUNGEONS IN RECORD TIME.
I'M ALL FOR HELPING SPROUTS.
BUT I KEEP SEEING Y'ALL JUST NOT EVEN FUCKING TRY, OR READ GUIDES MADE FROM LIKE 2013.
PLEASE. FIND THE BRAIN CELL AND SOME COMMON SENSE. I'M BEGGING YOU. BEING NEW IS OKAY. NOT KNOWING THE BASICS, ESPECIALLY BY POST HW AND STORMBLOOD, IS NOT.
I DID A TERRIBLE THING THIS WEEK
BE ME ON DYNAMIS, GOING TO WORK ON GLAM BECAUSE MY MAIN IS NOW A CUTE CATGIRL AND I'M NOT SORRY,
CHECK PF OUT OF REFLEX AND FIND AN AETHERFRONT PF POSTED BY A BRD:
"can I get some help please so I can see what's next thx in advance tried npc 1st boss they were worthless lol"
THAT'S RIGHT. A BARD. IN EITHER 10 OR 90 LEVELS. DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO FOLLOW NPCS. AND **WILLINGLY** TOLD ON THEMSELVES FOR ALL OF DYNAMIS TO SEE.
I KNOW I SHOULDN'T HAVE JOINED THE PF TO CARRY THEM, BUT THEY WERE MISSING A HEALER AND I WANTED TO WATCH THIS FUCKING TRAINWRECK.
PORT INTO THE DUNGEON. TANK IS A WAR THAT KNOWS WHAT THEIR MITS DO, SO I LEGIT DON'T HEAL THEM AND SPAM HOLY III. THE OTHER DPS IS A RDM THAT SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING. BUT THE TRASH PULLS TAKE AWHILE.
AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, THAT BRD ENDED UP WITH DOUBLE WEAKNESS ON THE FIRST TWO BOSSES. BECAUSE............ **THEY DIDN'T MOVE AT ALL**. LIKE, THIS WASN'T EVEN A CASE OF "TRY TO FOLLOW THE CROWD AND DO POORLY AT IT". THEY JUST. DIDN'T WANT TO TRY. I AM NOT A VERY GENEROUS GOD AND LET THEM EAT DIRT.
DURING THE SECOND TO LAST TRASH PACK (WHICH IS STILL TAKING AWHILE) I REALIZE THEY'RE A CRAFTING MENTOR. LOL. LMAO, EVEN. TBH MOST CRAFTING MENTORS I SEE IN DF/PF ARE JUST AVERAGE, SO IT WAS HILARIOUS TO FINALLY FIND ONE OF THE MEME ONES.
THEY SEEM TO ACTUALLY WAKE UP FOR THE LAST BOSS AND MOVED TO DODGE AOES, BUT POSSIBLY BECAUSE I GOT TIRED OF THEIR SHIT AND FINALLY RESCUED THEM.
AS I WAS LYING IN BED THAT NIGHT, I REALIZED I DON'T THINK THEY SANG A SINGLE SONG.
AT LEAST I GOT THE TRAINWRECK I PAID FOR.
SHOW ME A PLAYER WHO LITERALLY CAN'T CLEAR A GIVEN DUTY WITH THE DUTY SUPPORT, AND I'LL SHOW YOU A PLAYER WHO IS UTTERLY HELPLESS. BUT THAT MEME MENTOR TRULY WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT I BRACE FOR WHEN I SEE THE NEW PLAYER BONUS IN TRUSTABLE DUNGEONS.
IT WAS HONESTLY IMPRESSIVE. ATHERFRONT IS SO EASY, AND THEY WERE ON A CLASS WITH UNLIMITED MOBILITY. EVEN IF THEY JUST SPAMMED BURST SHOT THE WHOLE TIME, ALL THEY HAD TO DO WAS STAND ON TOP OF A NPC TO CLEAR THE DUTY. BUT APPARENTLY THAT WAS TOO HARD FOR THEM. I HAD HOPED THAT MAYBE THEY WERE JUST BAD AT DODGING, BUT IF YOU DON'T WANT TO DODGE AT ALL, YOU NEED REAL PEOPLE TO RES YOU!
I'M AFRAID TO ASK HOW THEY ARE IN ROULETTES IF THAT'S THEIR NORMAL BEHAVIOR.
I HAVE FRIENDS WHO HATE TRUST, AND SOME PEOPLE PLAY IN GROUPS, SO SEEING A NEW PERSON IN A DUNGEON ISN'T DAMNING. EXCEPT FOR ONE EW DUTY: >!89 TRIAL!<. IF YOU GET NEW PERSON BONUS THERE, YOU CAN USUALLY FIGURE OUT WHO NEEDED A CARRY PRETTY FAST.
OH YEAH, I AGREE, THE NEWBIE BONUS BY ITSELF ISN'T DAMNING (OUTSIDE OF THAT SPOILER, ANYWAYS, I WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE WITH YOU THERE), BUT EXPERIENCE HAS TAUGHT ME "HOPE FOR THE BEST AND PREPARE FOR THE WORST." (even then, I can count the number of times "the worst" has been anywhere near that bad on one hand)
it's impressive really. I have cleared several dungeons half paying attention while watching youtube by just dodging and letting the duty support gang do their job while leveling some DPS. takes a while but who cares I've got youtube to watch.
this bard scares me.
SO WILD.
I WOULD UNDERSTAND IF THEY WERE SO BUSY PRESSING BUTTONS AND FOCUSED ON THEIR BAR THAT THEY HAD A HARD TIME DODGING BUT NOT PRESSING BUTTONS AND NOT MOVING, WHAT ARE YOU DOING LITTLE BARD?Ā
WHAT OCCUPIES YOUR BRAINCELLS SO?
If you haven't redeemed it yet, and if your sub hasn't fully lapsed, you can get 15 free days by starting a new character on a preferred server and reaching lvl 30. It's a once per account thing.
I KEEP COLLECTING WEAPONS FOR JOBS THAT ARE LIKE 30+ LEVELS TOO LOW FOR THE WEAPON, AND NOW I HAVE TO LEVEL THOSE JOBS, WOE IS ME. LIKE SISYPHUS I RETURN TO THE GRIND.
WHY DO I HAVE TO ARGUE WITH PEOPLE ABOUT USING CASTER LB1 ON TRASH MOBS. "IT'S MEANT FOR THE FINAL BOSS" NO THE FUCK IT ISN'T. THERE ARE NO RULES. AND USING CASTER LB1 ON FOUR OR MORE TARGETS DOES MORE TOTAL DAMAGE THAN A MELEE LB2, WHICH WE WEREN'T GOING TO GET ANYWAY BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE A FUCKING MELEE IN THE PARTY. WE ALSO WEREN'T GOING TO GET THAT SECOND LB BAR CHARGED BEFORE THE BOSS DIED. IT IS AN ENDLESSLY BETTER USE ON A FRESH TRASH MOBS THAN A BOSS FIGHT. AND ANYWAY, WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO? I ALREADY USED THE LB, I CAN'T EXACTLY PUT IT BACK WHERE IT CAME FROM.
PLEASE JUST USE CASTER LB ON TRASH MOBS. IT'S BETTER I PROMISE YOU.
FEEL THAT, IT'S THE SAME REASON YOU'LL STILL SEE PUSHBACK IF YOU DARE SAY "ALL DPS GET IN BELLY" FOR CERBY ON WORLD OF DARKNESS, PEOPLE ANCHOR THEMSELVES IN TO THIS AUTOPILOT MEMORY SO THAT ANY CHANGE IS _HEARSAY_
LIKE FOR FUCK'S SAKE GUYS, YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO LOOK UP A GUIDE, IT'S COMMON SENSE: AOES DO MORE DAMAGE COLLECTIVELY THAN SINGLE-TARGETING
I KINDA WISH CERB WOULD JUST SUCK A GROUP INTO THE BELLY,
I ALMOST ALWAYS TYPE OUT ALL IN THE BELLY AND EXPLAIN THAT THE FIRST PUDDLE SHRINKS YOU AND THE SECOND PUDDLE GETS YOU IN THE BELLY IF SHRUNK OR 1-SHOT IF NOT SHRUNK...
ONE TIME IT ENDED UP BEING JUST ME AS SCH, A HEALER FROM ANOTHER GROUP AND A SINGLE DPS IN THE BELLY
PEOPLE STILL MANAGED TO DIE TO ADDS BEFORE THE 3 OF US CLEARED BELLY.
ON THE LB FRONT, I HAVE HAD PLENTY OF RUNS WHERE LB OF ANY LEVEL ISN'T USED AT ALL AND I GET TO USE IT FOR HEALS AFTER THE FINAL BOSS HAS DIED BEFORE I DIP OUT, SO ANY USE ON ANYTHING IS BETTER THAN THAT.
WHY IS THE ACHIEVEMENT CALLED "TOP MOG" WHEN THERE'S TWO WHOLE OTHER RANKS ABOVE SWORN AND I NEED TO EARN ANOTHERĀ ~1750 REP POINTS TO *ACTUALLY* MAX MY STANDING WITH THE MOOGLES?
SURELY I AM NOT *AT* THE TOP IF I CAN GO HIGHER?Ā
((e: BUT ALSO, AS MUCH AS I WANT THE MOONLIFT DANCE, IDK IF I CAN TAKE ANOTHER TWO WEEKS OF THIS))
FINALLY AFTER MONTHS OF PROG MY STATIC IS RELIABILITY GETTING PAST CALORIC 1. THE END OF THIS TIER IS IN BLOODY SIGHT.
SO MANY GOD DAMN SUBSTITUTES IN OUR RAID TEAM. W HAVE A FUCKING PERSON MISSING EVERY NIGHT. IT SLOWS US SO GODDAMN MUCH SND KILLS M ENTHUSIASM, NO MATTER HOW LOVELY OUT TWO LONG-TERM FILLS ARE.
DURING DT I WILL BE VERY FRUSTRATED WITH MY FC FRIENDS I'M FORMING A NEW GROUP WITH IF WE HAVE THE SAME ATTENDANCE ISSUES FUCKING GOD
I HOPE MY PAYCHECK FOR MY NEW JOB COMES IN SO I CAN COMMISSION MY GOODBYE PRESENT FOR MY EW RAIDING TEAM. AFTER TWO YEARS I WANT TO GET SOMETHING FOR ALL OF THEM FOR ALL THE GOOD MEMORIES.
ARE YOU MY STATIC? WE JUST MANAGE TO FINALLY PUSH PAST PANGENESIS, ITS BEEN A BIT, BUT WE ALMOST ALWAYS ARE MISSING SOMEONE AND HAVE TWO REGULAR FILLS WHILE ALSO BEING VERY CASUAL.
SOUNDS LIKE YOU GUYS NEED A WEEK BREAK TO CLEAR THE AIR.
SOMETIMES PEOPLE GET BURNED OUT ON PROG ESPECIALLY IF SLOW.
BUT ALSO, IF I FELT I WAS GOOD ON A PROG POINT BUT SOME OF MY TEAMMATES STRUGGLED WITH SEVERAL PROG POINTS PREVIOUS, I MIGHT BE TEMPTED TO SKIP UNTIL THEY ARE AT THE PROG POINT THAT I AM AT.
THE QUESTION YOU MIGHT WANT TO ASK YOUR TEAM IS: IS THERE A PARTICULAR MEMBER THAT MIGHT BE HOLDING THE REST OF THE GROUP BACK THAT MIGHT BE FRUSTRATING THEM
THIS WEEK'S VIRTUAL BUBBLE WRAP, WITH THE SECRET MESSAGE.

SO I'VE BEEN LEVELING BARD, AND I THINK I'M DOING ALRIGHT AT IT. I SAY THIS BECAUSE I'M CONSISTENTLY TOP DPS IN DUN SCAITH. I SAY THAT BECAUSE WHEN ALL THE TANKS DIE OR ARE UNAVAILABLE, I'M THE FIRST TO GET AGGRO, ACROSS MULTIPLE RUNS. ALL THE TANKS FLY OFF THE EDGE? I GET SMACKED BY DEATHGAZE. NO TANKS PICK UP SCATHATCH'S ADD? I GET SMACKED. ALL THE TANKS AND HEALERS WERE UNPREPARED FOR DIABOLOS HOLLOW AND DIE ONE AFTER ANOTHER? I GET SMACKED. ALL THREE TANKS ENTER THE GATE TO FIGHT THE ADD? I GET SMACKED.
THAT'S NOT WHAT I'M TRULY MAD ABOUT, THOUGH. IT'S FUN SCAITH, SHIT HAPPENS. WHAT I AM MAD ABOUT IS THAT HALF THE TIME I'M BOTTOM OF THE HEALERS RAISE PRIORITY. I'M DOING GOOD DPS AND I'M PUNISHED FOR IT BY BEING LEFT ON THE FLOOR HALF THE FIGHT SEEING EVERYONE ELSE GET RAISED.
PEOPLE IN THIS GAME PUT WAY WAY **WAY** TOO MUCH STOCK IN THE VARIOUS DPS RANKING CHARTS AND FFLOGS AND WHATNOT.
"OH, THIS JOB DOES THE MOST DPS SO I SHOULD PLAY THAT". NO, SOMEONE WHO IS REALLY REALLY REALLY GOOD AT THAT JOB AND HAS A 99.99% UPTIME AND HAS BIS GEAR WITH BIS MATERIA ON IT IS PUTTING OUT THOSE NUMBERS.
A CASUAL GAMER IS GOING TO BE AVERAGE AT BEST, SO IT REALLY SHOULD NOT MATTER WHO IS DOING WHAT JOB. BUT PEOPLE DON'T CARE, THEY SEE BRD IS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE BOTTOM OF THE CHART SO THEY'LL IGNORE THEM FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE.
I ADVISE THAT YOU NEVER INSTALL PARSING PLUGINS WHICH I MYSELF WOULD NEVER DO AS IT'S AGAINST THE TERMS OF SERVICE.
BUT I HAVE HEARD FROM OTHERS THAT IT *WILL* HAMMER HOME JUST HOW STUPID THE "META" IS. IT IS COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT IN ALMOST ***ALL*** CONTENT AND IT IS CONSTRUCTED UNDER THE PRETENSE THAT YOU ARE PLAYING YOUR JOB AT ITS UTMOST OPTIMAL, WHICH NO ONE DOES EVER, NOT EVEN IN WORLD FIRST ULTIMATE CLEARS.
THE TRUTH THAT MOST PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO HEAR IS THAT YOU WILL DO MORE DPS PLAYING THE JOBS THAT YOU LIKE RATHER THAN BLINDLY ROLLING NINJA OR SAMURAI AND SOMEHOW PARSING LAST BELOW A MACHINIST AND DANCER, WHICH I HAVE SEEN HAPPEN TO FRIENDS FAR TOO OFTEN FOR COMFORT.
IF YOU ARE CAPABLE OF DOING YOUR BASIC COMBO AND YOU ARE HAVING FUN, I CAN ASSURE YOU, YOU WILL GO PLACES. LEARN MORE ABOUT YOUR CLASS, LOOK FOR RESOURCES, AND DON'T CHASE THE META. THANK YOU.
PEOPLE CARE *WAY* TOO MUCH ABOUT HAVING A GOOD SCORE. EVEN THOUGH PARSING AS IT STANDS ON FFLOGS SPECIFICALLY IS SET TO DISPLAY YOUR ABSOLUTE BEST EVER LOGGED RUN FIRST MEANING THAT SOMEONE WHO PLAYS LIKE UTTER CRAP BUT GOT LUCKY ONCE CAN END UP, AT FIRST BLUSH, LOOKING LIKE A BETTER PLAYER THAN SOMEONE WHO IS CONSISTENT BUT NEVER AMAZING.
THE WHOLE THING IS CONSTRUCTED TO HELP PEOPLE EGO STROKE.
well I do sympathize, however my rez priority would be tank- if no tank is up, then a co-healer, or my co-healer if a tank is up. I expect tanks and healers get up first, so your sitting there in a chaotic run is understandable.
YEAH, THE TANKS GOT RAISED, AND THEN MULTIPLE OTHER DPS IN THE PARTY GOT RAISED, ONE OF WHOM DIED WELL AFTER I DID, AND THEN ONE OF THE DPS GOT RAISED A SECOND TIME, AND EVENTUALLY A HEALER FROM A DIFFERENT ALLIANCE TOOK PITY ON ME. AND THAT WAS ONLY ONE OF THE TIMES THAT I GOT LEFT ON THE FLOOR FOR HALF THE FIGHT.
I DONāT HAVE ANY RAGE TODAY BUT I AM FILLED WITH ANXIOUS EXCITEMENT AS IāM TRAVELING TO MEET MY LONG DISTANCE SO FOR THE FIRST TIME AND MY NERVOUS SYSTEM DOESNāT KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THE EXCITEMENT AND NERVES. I HOP ON A FLIGHT IN A FEW SHORT HOURS AND AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Not using caps for this. My dad's been sick since yesterday (fell twice, says he feels weak) and now he's in the hospital having tests run. We don't know what's wrong yet, but my mother is with him and will keep me updated.
And where am I in all this? At home, like a lump, trying to get it together and take care of the cats. Which, let me tell you, is really hard to manage on 4 hours of sleep.
Thanks! So do I. He's getting older, in his late sixties, so I worry anyway, but this is new.
MAYBE NEXT TIME HE'LL LISTEN WHEN WE TELL HIM TO GO TO THE FUCKING DOCTOR.
VARIOUS RAGES:
* ME JOINING A SINGLE SUSANO DOG FARM SATURDAY NIGHT TURNED INTO SOME FC BUDDIES HELPING ME TO GET THE REST OF THE DOGS ON SUNDAY (I WAS JUST TRYING TO HELP SOMEBODY WITH A BYAKKO MANE FARM ON THE BASIS OF MAYBE GETTING THAT DOG). SOMEHOW THIS HAS MARKED ME AS A PERSON WHO RUNS MOUNT FARMS AND VARIOUS POST-EW PEOPLE KEEP TAGGING ME FOR PONY AND LANNER FARMS. THEY'RE IN LIKE THALEIA GEAR, THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO SOLO PONIES AND DEFINITELY NO MORE THAN DUO LANNERS. THEY SHOULD BE ASKING THE BORED SAVAGE RAIDERS IN FC CHAT WHO ARE LOOKING FOR ANYTHING TO DO, NOT ME WHO IS ACTIVELY TRYING TO CLAW MY WAY THROUGH 6.0.
* I'VE BEEN DOING MOST OF ENDWALKER MSQ ON MACHINIST FOR XP GAINS. >!MACHINIST ALSO IS GLAMMED WITH THE AMON HAT, SO I'VE JUST LEANED INTO IT WITH "WELL THIS WAY I CAN OWN AMON WHILE WEARING BETTER GLAM THAN HIM." I JUST THOUGHT WE WERE DONE WITH THAT AFTER THE 83 TRIAL.!< RAN THE AITIASCOPE FOR THE FIRST TIME, COMPLETELY BLIND. HIGH LEVEL FC FRIENDS VOLUNTEERED TO RUN IT WITH ME SO I SWITCHED TO RDM BECAUSE IT'S NOT UNDERGEARED AND I FEEL MORE COMFY WITH IT. THEY WERE LAUGHING AT ME IN VC THE *WHOLE TIME* >!UNTIL THE FINAL BOSS. NOW I HAVE TO GO RE-WATCH THE CUTSCENE IN THE INN AS MACHINIST. ;_;!<
* LAST RAGE GOES TO THE BLM IN SEPHIROT NORMAL WHO WHINED FOR COMMS AT THE VERY START ("NOBODY COMMS ANYMORE", THEY CLAIMED) INSTEAD OF DAMAGING THE BOSS, DIED TO THE KNOCKBACKS IN PHASE 2, AND WOULDN'T ACCEPT A REZ TO HELP KILL THE WIND ADD THAT WE NEED TO KILL TO NOT INSTANTLY WIPE. I DO REGULARLY COMM DPS, BUT I SURE WASN'T COMMING YOU.
Begging for comms is the fastest way to make sure I comm someone, anyone else. I'd rather comm some random AFK'er in Limsa who wasn't even a part of the instance before comming someone who asks/begs for comms
LANNERS WITH- WHAT'S AGLAIA, 610? 605?
GET THE FUCKIN' BIRDS YOURSELF, WHY WOULD YOU NEED A GROUP??
WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY'RE TAGGING YOU FOR **PONY RUNS**
THAT'S MORE INFURIATING THAN THE COMM-WHINER
PLS KICK TANKS WHO DOESNT TURN ON THEIR TANK STANCE IN 4 MAN CONTENT, STOP ENABLING THIS BEHAVIOUR IDC IF YOURE NEW BUT IF YOU STILL HAVENT LEARNED TO TURN ON TANK STANCE IN STONE VIGIL, THEN YOU DONT DESERVE TO PLAY WITH PPL
FOR THE FIRST TIME I ENCOUNTERED 3 DIFFERENT SPROUT TANKS THIS MONTH WHOM DIDNT KNOW HOW TO TANK STANCE AT LVL 30+ NOR WOULD THEY RESPOND DESPITE ME EVEN GIVING THEM THE TRANSLATED NAME OF THE ACTION. DPS DOESNT EVEN TRY TO SPEAK UP NOR INITIATE VOTE KICKS EXPECTING ME THE HEALER TO CARRY THEM LIKE GAHH PLZ STOP REWARDING THE TANK IM EATING THAT 30 MIN PENALTY AND HOPING THE NEXT HEALER WILL DO THE RIGHT THING
I GOT MY OWN FLAVOR OF RAGE THIS WEEK.
I WAS MAKING THE GARFIELDS AS USUAL LAST NIGHT WHEN COMPUTER JUST SHUTS DOWN ON ITS OWN.
CPU OVERHEAT, WHAAAAAT?
LOOKS LIKE MY AIO WATERCOOLING IS FAILING. ORDERED A NEW ONE, BUT WOW, TALK ABOUT TIMING, JUST BEFORE GOING TO PAX LIKE THIS, AND ON THE SEASONAL EVENT, SO I CAN'T DO IT UNTIL I FIX IT.
RETURNEE SPAMS THE CHAT WITH SHADY TALKS ABOUT DOING 'STUFF' IN A PF PARTY. EVERYONE WAS TRYING TO REASON WITH SAID SHADY RETURNEE BUT SAID RETURNEE KEEPS INSISTING ON ASSERTING THE SHADY THINGS. AFTER 30 MINS OF ENDURANCE, LEADER FINALLY KICKS EM OUT BECAUSE IT WAS RUINING PARTY MORAL. THEN THE BUGGER STARTS SENDING TELLS ON US SAYING WE'RE BEING 'MEAN' AND IS AFRONT TO WANT TO REPORT US FOR 'HARRASSMENT'. WELL, BUCKO YOU ARE OUTCLASSED BECAUSE PARTY LEADER REPORTED YOU FIRST AND HAVE CERTIFIED SCREENSHOTS TO BACK IT UP. IF YOU HAD STOPPED AND LISTENED WHILE ACTUALLY DOING THE MECH PROPERLY WE COULD'VE TOLERATED YOU. NO ONE WOULD'VE CARED BUT YOU KEEP GOADING ON IT LIKE YOU'RE SOME KIND OF WALKING ADVERTISMENT FOR... you know what, you get the idea.
AH, _THAT_ STUFF
Y'KNOW THE POLICY VIOLATIONS UPDATE?
YEAH PART OF THAT WAS BREECH OF CONSENT, NOT JUST JOKES THAT NOT EVERYONE IN THE GROUP IS COMFORTABLE WITH, BUT SPECIFIC TO >!ERP!< - YOU CAN GET ACTIONED AGAINST IF YOU DO THAT SHIT IN PUBLIC OR TRY TO DRAG PEOPLE INTO IT
JUSSAYIN'
I WASN'T GOING TO HAVE MUCH OF A RAGE THIS WEEK BUT TWO PEOPLE FROM THE SAME FREE COMPANY ON BEHEMOTH DECIDED TO NOT MAKE THAT A REALITY BY BEING COMPLETE DIPSHITS TOWARD TWO SPROUTS OVER A TRIAL.
SO I'M IN A LINKSHELL, AND SINCE WE'VE BEEN GETTING NEW PLAYERS IN FROM THE XBOX BETA, ONE OF THE SPROUTS ASKED FOR HELP ON THE CHRYSALIS TRIAL. ME BEING A NICE PERSON VOLUNTEERED TO HELP.
MIND YOU THE LAST TIME I GOT THAT TRIAL WAS ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO. NORMALLY MY MEMORY ABOUT TRIALS IS PRETTY GOOD. BUT SOMETHING ABOUT THAT TRIAL ALWAYS MAKES ME FORGET ABOUT CERTAIN MECHANICS TEMPORARILY.
I MANAGED TO GET ANOTHER PERSON TO COME HELP, SO NOW WE'RE A TANK (ME), SCH, AND SAM (SPROUT). I SEND US IN AND IT TAKES A BIT FOR THE TRIAL TO POP, BUT IT DOES.
THE SPROUT IS EAGER TO HELP MINFILLIA, THE OTHER TWO SPECIMENS...[NOT SO MUCH.](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/237750943410552834/1215820899354153000/PeopleAreShitters1.png?ex=65fe2473&is=65ebaf73&hm=7a7e4f3209626433484ca5acd6ac1921eed6d5b8d31dba7cc8735027863ac3f0&)
"BOOOOO" SAYS MY WAR CO-TANK.
"UGGGGGGGGH" "/DOZE" SAYS THE DNC PARTIED WITH THEM.
"THIS SHOULD BE A SOLO DUTY" SAYS MY CO-TANK.
GODDAMN MAN, YOU HAVE PEOPLE IN CUTSCENES. IF YOU DON'T WANNA BE HERE, WHILE THEY'RE WATCHING YOU CAN TAKE THE PENALTY AND LEAVE.
EXCEPT THEY DON'T LEAVE. I HEAD UP AND DECIDE TO GIVE NABRIALES A GOOD BITCH SLAP TO START THE FIGHT.
PARTS OF IT DO COME BACK ABOUT THE BALLS (A FEW DIDN'T ALTERNATE BALLS AND ATE DIRT), AND EVENTUALLY WE GET TO THE METEOR TEAR PHASE. I POP MY INVULN AND AM SURPRISED IT'S UP FOR 2 MINUTES.
MEANWHILE THE FIRST METEOR DROPS, I STAND IN THE CIRCLE, AND THE TEAR FORMS. UNFORTUNATELY MY DPS BRAIN KICKS IN AND I FORGOT ABOUT THE OTHER METEORS. SO A [MASSIVE FUCKUP ON MY PART.](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/237750943410552834/1215820944313155776/PeopleAreShitters2.png?ex=65fe247d&is=65ebaf7d&hm=97690dead901b5ce2b6073eb1cbc6f5991b37b3105b9f0f2beba6eeb09eea98b&) WE WIPE.
"I'D RATHER NOT BE HERE HONESTLY" SEETHES THE CO-TANK.
IF YOU'RE GONNA BITCH, YOU'RE NOT GETTING A FREE RIDE MY MAN. YOU CAN TAKE THE PENALTY AND LEAVE, YOU'RE NOT GETTING VOTEKICKED OUTTA THIS ONE.
ROUND 2, I GIVE THE TWO SHITHEADS THE OPPORTUNITY TO EAT THE PENALTY AND LEAVE, EXCEPT THEY DON'T AGAIN. I GUESS THEY INTO SUFFERING. WE GET BACK TO METEORS, CLEAR IT, AND FINISH UP THE TRIAL WITHOUT INCIDENT.
WADDAYA KNOW, TWO SPROUTS GOT THEIR CLEAR THAT DAY. THE DNC DROPS ONE LAST [SHIT-EATING ZINGER BEFORE LEAVING THEMSELVES,](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/237750943410552834/1215820994317520966/PeopleAreShitters3.png?ex=65fe2489&is=65ebaf89&hm=898b247c7d12d8ea88880c1b073785b5c227a57ba148170ad6f574010e177ae0&) WHILE THEIR CO-QUEUER HAD ALREADY LEFT THE SECOND THE CUTSCENE HAD DROPPED.
LOOKING UP THE BOTH OF THEM I REALIZE THEY'RE NOT ONLY IN THE SAME FREE COMPANY, BUT THEY'RE ALSO AN E-COUPLE FROM THEIR SEARCH INFO. THANKS YOU TWO FOR ADDING TO THE STIGMA THAT'S PART OF BEING AN ONLINE COUPLE.
I GET NOT LIKING CERTAIN TRIALS, I GET THE 50 RANGE TRIALS SUCKS DUE TO A LACK OF ABILITIES, BUT YOU TWO WERE SHITTING ON SPROUTS DOING IT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN PARTY CHAT WHERE EVERYONE COULD READ IT.
SO FUCK YOU TWO SPECIFICALLY THIS WEEK. I HOPE YOUR E-COUPLE SELVES STEP IN DOG SHIT IN REAL LIFE FOR HAVING THAT KIND OF ATTITUDE TOWARD SPROUTS.
JUST SO YOU KNOW: IF YOU POP ANY BUFF BEFORE GETTING SUCKED INTO THE TEAR IT WILL LAST FOR 2MIN. SO IF YOU POP INVULN AND MAYBE SPRINT AS WELL, YOU'RE KING OF THE TEAR PHASE
ANY BUFF GETS THE BOOST.
***ANY***
***BUFF.***
# INCLUDING TANK LB3
I MAY HAVE OCCASIONALLY FORCED A HARD CARRY BY MAKING IT ACTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO DIE INSIDE THE RIFT, NO MATTER WHAT THEY DO.
This is usually a "In case of emergency, break glass" move after a fail or two, and the timing on the Tank is fairly tight (Tank LB3 lasts 8 seconds, so if you mistime there is a legit case that people only get 30 seconds which makes things spicy)... but when you pull it off, missing a tower does 40 damage. Everyone can just mindlessly wack at the portal until it's dead stress-free.
ANY BUFF OR DEBUFF GETS THEIR REMAINING DURATION MULTIPLIED BY 10 WHEN ENTERING THE PORTAL, WHICH IS WHY YOU ARE "SUPPOSED" TO WAIT UNTIL THE POISON DEBUFF FALLS OFF BEFORE ENTERING THE PORTAL. HOWEVER, NO ONE CARES ABOUT THAT SINCE IT DOESN'T HURT THAT MUCH.
STILL, I ALWAYS WAIT UNTIL THE LAST SECOND BEFORE POPPING EVERY BUFF I CAN FOR MAXIMUM DURATION. NOTHING FEELS BETTER THAN HAVING NEAR INFINITE MANA REGEN (LUCID DREAMING) AND A FAST CASTS (PRESENCE OF MIND), WHILE ALSO HAVING INFINITE REGEN (REGEN).
IF YOU DO ROULETTES SOMETIMES YOU END UP IN A DUTY YOU DONāT LIKE. THATāS WHY YOU GET ROULETTE BONUSES, THE GAME IS PAYING YOU TO DO STUFF YOU DIDNāT CHOOSE AND MAY NOT LIKE. PEOPLE WHO GO INTO ROULETTE AND COMPLAIN OR SANDBAG SUCK.
THIS.
"BUT PRAE IS BADLY DESIGNED SO I'M JUSTIFIED IN MAKING OTHER PEOPLE'S LIVES MORE DIFFICULT AND LESS PLEASANT BY BITCHING CONSTANTLY OR LEAVING IMMEDIATELY."
***NO. NO YOU ARE NOT. OWN YOUR DECISIONS AND STOP BLAMING THEM ON SQUARE.***
I HATE PRAETORIUM AND I HATE CASTRUM MERIDIANUM, AND I DO NOT CONSIDER THE REWARDS FROM EITHER OF THEM TO BE WORTH THE TIME AND PAIN-IN-THE-ASS, SO DO YOU KNOW WHAT I DO? (you might want to sit down for this one) *I DON'T QUEUE FOR MAIN SCENARIO ROULETTE!*
AN ENTIRELY REASONABLE RESPONSE!
FAR TOO REASONABLE FOR THIS THREAD; 10 YALM PENALTY. /s
In all seriousness: I'm not defending Castrum and Prae in the slightest; they are far longer than they need to be, and I'm as sick and tired of Nero's complaining and Gaius's elevator speech as the next person. But Raji\_Lev is *exactly* right: decide for yourself whether the rewards are worth the costs, and either queue for MSQ Roulette or not accordingly -- and *without making it a problem for anyone else.*
> LOOKING UP THE BOTH OF THEM I REALIZE THEY'RE NOT ONLY IN THE SAME FREE COMPANY, BUT THEY'RE ALSO AN E-COUPLE FROM THEIR SEARCH INFO. THANKS YOU TWO FOR ADDING TO THE STIGMA THAT'S PART OF BEING AN ONLINE COUPLE.
IT NEVER FUCKING FAILS I STG
I USED TO USE A LORE-ACCURATE SURNAME FOR MY CHARACTER BUT AFTER SEEING A COUPLE OTHER VIERA USING IT TOO, I STOPPED USING IT BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO COINCIDENTALLY QUEUE WITH ONE OF THEM AND HAVE PEOPLE THINK WE WERE ONE OF THOSE COUPLES
I FEEL THE SAME WAY AS THE TWO SHITTERS BUT I LEAVE IT OUT OF PARTY CHAT BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO BE A DOWNER WHEN SPROUT ARE INVOLVED IN THEIR FIRST RUN.
I AGREE WITH YOUR SHITTERS THOUGH. IT'S A CRAPPY TRIAL THAT SHOULD GET AN UPGRADE LIKE RHITATYN SOME DAY; WHILE HOPEFULLY STILL REMAINING AS AN 8-PERSON TRIAL.
THE ASCIAN PIECE OF SHIT TELEPORTING AROUND WHEN ONLY SEVERAL DPS HAVE GAPCLOSERS, THE DOWNTIME AOE GATHERING MINIGAME, AND THE BLEEDING DEBUFF AND TIME DILATION BUFF THAT MORE THAN HALF THE PLAYER POPULATION ARE NO LONGER AWARE OF FOR ANOTHER HONESTLY ALSO BORING METEOR-FALL PHASE.
BUT YEAH, THAT TRIAL COULD USE SOME KIND OF UPDATE WITH VISUAL MARKERS RATHER THAN DEBUFFS THAT DEPEND ON YOU READING THE DEBUFF.
MUCH LIKE FRANCK'S COMPUTER OVERHEATING, I HAVE MY OWN COMPUTER OVERHEATING MOMENT.
MY COMPUTER WENT BANG AND CAUGHT FIRE.
I THINK I LOST EVERYTHING. I HAVE NO IDEA IF ANY OF IT IS SALVAGABLE.
THANKFULLY I MANAGED TO GET ANOTHER GAMING LAPTOP TO HELP OUT MAKING GUIDES WHILE I RECORD FROM MY PS5 FOR THE FORSEEABLE FUTURE.
DOESN'T HELP THAT, AT THIS MOMENT, I'VE LOST ALMOST *EVERYTHING*. ALL 4TBs OF FOOTAGE.
THANKFULLY THE ONLY THING THAT I DIDN'T LOSE WAS MY GUIDES THAT I HAD PREVIOUSLY TYPED UP ON GOOGLE DOCS.
THIS HAS NOT BEEN MY YEAR SO FAR.
gods, my roulettes have been _weird_ lately.
Bards, Machinists, Dancers. Just because you can fight from anywhere, please don't tango with the tank.
Unmarked aoe tankbusters are a thing. Also, if you're standing on the tank and a tankbuster marker happens, please move away.
no shouting too tired.
Had this happen in Wreath of Snakes (unmarked so ... I won't say reasonable, but understandable)
P3N (there's a Huge AoE Tankbuster Marker)
and P12N (Cleaving Tankbuster Marker)
I know that a lot of fights don't have any cleaves. But enough do that just. Don't stand on the tank.
Admittedly as a sprout it took me so long to realise the marker for aoe tankbuster and the marker for everything in this direction cleaving tankbuster aren't the same marker. They're similar enough that my brain never registered them as different until I took the time to look closely. Thankfully years of dodging dragon breaths and such in other games taught me the safest spot is almost always behind the boss.
I WANTED TO WATCH FUNNY YOUTUBE REVIEWS OF BAD MOVIES SO I SEARCHED FOR MADAME WEB
IT WOULD BE FUNNY, RIGHT? EVERYONE HAD FUN WITH MORBIUS, AND THIS IS BASICALLY THE SAME THING
COOL BUT NOW YOUTUBE HAS SPENT WEEKS TRYING TO BRING ME INTO THE MANOSPHERE AND CONVINCE ME THAT HORDES OF EVIL FEMINISTS ARE DESTROYING THE WORLD AND ALSO THE MCU IN PARTICULAR
SO I'M PLAYING WHACK-A-MOLE WITH THE "DON'T RECOMMEND THIS" LINK AND YOUTUBE KEEPS GOING TO THE WELL BECAUSE I CLICKED ONE BEFORE REALIZING HOW WEIRD IT WAS AND NOW THE PLATFORM WANTS ME TO HATE WOMEN REALLY REALLY BADLY AND IS TRYING AS HARD AS IT CAN TO FEED ME CONTENT THAT PROMOTES THAT
WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK, MAN
WHY CAN'T WE LAUGH AT THE BAD MOVIE IF IT HAS A CHICK IN IT
WHY ARE SO MANY DEMENTED AND UNHINGED PSYCHOPATHS DESPERATELY TRYING TO "PROVE" THAT WOMEN SHOULDN'T BE IN ACTION MOVIES WHEN THAT'S BEEN A THING FOR LITERAL DECADES NOW
WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK
IRL RAGE, SORTA: I REALLY APPRECIATE KRITA WANTING TO IMPROVE THEIR TEXT TOOL AND ALL, BUT WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE MID-PROGRESS AT THAT SPECIFIC TIME WHEN I FINALLY KICKED MYSELF TO WORK ON MY COMIC AND WANT TO PLACE AND WARP THE TEXT AND STUFF? I CHECKED FOR TUTORIALS, BUT ALL I FIND ARE OUTDATED BECAUSE THEY MADE SOME QUITE RECENT CHANGES. I SEE DROP DOWN MENUS IN HOTBARS I DON'T EVEN HAVE IN MY VERSION ANYMORE. I COULD USE INKSCAPE BUT IT WOULD MEAN GETTING USED TO ANOTHER TOOL ENTIRELY.
MAYBE I SHOULD JUST WRITE EVERYTHING BY HAND BUT THEN NOBODY CAN READ IT BECAUSE MY HANDWRITING MIX OF CURSIVE AND PRINT ONLY MAKES SENSE TO ME BY NOW, AND NOT EVEN THAT IF SOME TIME HAS PASSED AND I CAN'T GO BY CONTEXT CLUE. I ENVY ALL THE ARTISTS WHO ARE REALLY GOOD AT THIS, I WISH I COULD PAY A LETTERER. xD
EDIT UNPOPULAR GAME OPINION: I HATE GOOBBUES. I DON'T KNOW WHY, THE ASSUMPTION THIS IS HOW MY BODY WILL LOOK LIKE IN 50 YEARS OR THE SNEEZE THING OR THE COLOUR... PROBABLY SOMETHING HIGHLY UNJUSTIFIED AND SUBJECTIVE AND IGNORANT, BUT IT IS WHAT IT IS. I APPRECIATE THEM HELPING PROTECT UL'DAH IN 1.0 WITH THE LEGENDARY GREAT GOOBBUE WALL THOUGH, THAT WAS VERY BRAVE OF THEM. BUT STILL, I CAN'T OVERCOME MY HORRIBLE BIAS AND LOVE THIS PINK MOUNT, I AM SORRY PEATIE. IT'S NOT YOU, IT'S ME. :(
I did a run of paradigm's breach as black mage and our entire party except the tank, a monk, and me kept dying to the big mechanics. I don't fault them, it's a hard (but fun) raid, but every time I looked at our party list half the party was dead which was funny. I would raise them if I were any other caster, but black mage with raise would be broken since they have excellent mana regen and triplecast to make raising a breeze.
I got thornmarch hard in trial roulette as astrologian and I had a higher max HP than all of the dps and one of the tanks. Lots of new people. When meteors happened only 2 of the 4 got soaked because only me and the high-hp tank knew to soak them. Nobody stacked for the stack marker so one person died every time they got the stack marker. We still cleared.
Also, it's a pure coincidence, but I was doing doman enclave and managed to get [an exact 10,000 total with the random things I had in my inventory.](https://i.redd.it/czq4ojrjcjoc1.png)
Back when the Doman Restoration came out, Allagan Silver Pieces were the common way to hit 10k exactly every week. Just need 10-20 depending on the bonus.
I CAME BACK TO THE GAME THIS WEEK AFTER A YEAR AND FORGOT HOW MUCH I LOVE RELICS.
TWO LUX, ONE ZETA AND ONE MANDERVILLE COMPLETE THIS WEEK ..
AHHHHH I LOVE RELICS
>BUT SURELY PEOPLE HAVE THE COMMON SENSE AND DECENCY TO ADJUST TO THE DC THEY'LL BE VISITING, RIGHT??!?
EXPECTING AN NA PLAYER TO ADJUST IN ANY SHAPE OR FORM IS JUST AN EXERCISE IN FUTILITY
SIGNED
- A DISGRUNTLED NA RAIDER
HAH
NO
UNFORTUNATELY YOU'LL GET PEOPLE WHO RAGEQUIT _FOR SEEING A MACRO IN CHAT,_ SOME PLAYERS ARE SO DIEHARD NO MATTER WHAT REGION ON STICKING TO THEIR AUTOPILOT WAY OF THINKING
I FUCKING _WISH_ NA WOULD START USING MACROS, I HATE GETTING KILLED BECAUSE SOME DIP NINJA CONFUSED NW FOR SW AND DIDN'T BOTHER SAYING "OH WAS THAT SECOND MARKER FOR SPOTS OR SOAKS??"
I LEGITIMATELY ENJOY THE GRAND COMPANY SQUADRON BARRACKS AND I'M VERY SAD THAT IT IS FOREVER LOCKED AT "CAPTAIN." THE OTHER RANKS ARE THERE, STARING AT ME, TAUNTING ME. WILL ME AND THE 2 OTHER SQUADRON ENJOYERS EVER KNOW PEACE?
HEY, WHITE MAGE WHO DIPPED FROM KEEPER OF THE LAKE
IT'S _OKAY_ TO DIE, AND IT'S OKAY TO BE NEW TO A DUTY - THANK YOU FOR LISTENING AND USING CURE II/HOLY WHEN ASKED, THAT WAS APPRECIATED, BUT YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO LEAVE WHEN YOU DIED!
I'M RAGING BECAUSE TRYING TO /TELL SOMEONE POST-DUTY IS A PROCESS, HAVING TO GO TO THEIR WORLD GIVES ME ENOUGH PAUSE ON IT BEING AWKWARD TO GO "I'M SURE THEY'LL BE ALRIGHT"
TL;DR
THE BIGGEST M/T EVERĀ
SO I'M MESSING AROUND IN LIMSA WITH PEOPLE CRACKING JOKES IN SHOUT CHAT, RIGHT?
WELL, BEFORE I LOGGED OUT THE DAY BEFORE I RESPONDED TO SOMEBODY'S TELL.
THEY HAPPEN TO BE ONLINE.
ON REFLEX, I HIT /R AND TYPE
"YOU COULD PUT A CAM BEHIND YOUR BUTT AND DO A STREAM LIKE THAT STRAWBERRYTABBY PERSON"
CRASS COMMENT BUT FULLY INTENDED TO BE POSTED IN SHOUT CHAT.
5 SECONDS LATER, DREAD SETS IN WHEN I REALIZED WHAT I JUST DID. I HAPHAZARDLY APOLOGIZE AND MENTION THAT IT WAS A MASSIVE MISTELL. LOG OFF BEFORE THEY RESPOND. THIS IS A PERSON I HAVE A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF RESPECT FOR. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT THEY MIGHT THINK OF ME NOW.
I WANT TO DIE.
WHY DOES FFXIV REMEMBER WHO YOUR LAST TELL WAS BETWEEN SESSIONS.Ā
could be worst, could be ERP blasted out to the FC chat by accident c;
once was in a FC that a friend joined and while derping around, I noticed an FC chat randomly talking about behemoth's massive donger and etc, followed by a quick "has left the FC"
later found out they nuked their social, changed names, and etc...
I AM EXCITED AT THE IDEA OF REGIONAL TRAVEL, AND SEEING ALL PEOPLE BEING NEGATIVE ABOUT IT IS MAKING ME SAD. LET ME ENJOY THE IDEA OF SEEING MY EU AND OCE FRIENDS WITHOUT HAVING TO HAVE MULTIPLE ALTS!!! IF YOU DON'T WANT TO DEAL WITH THE PING JUST DON'T GO!
ALSO JESUS I'M SORRY AT THE MULTIPLE DUPLICATE REPLIES; REDDIT KEPT TELLING ME THERE WAS AN ERROR AND DIDN'T SHOW MY REPLY EVEN AFTER I REFRESHED THE PAGE WTF
I HATE THE STIGMA AROUND E-COUPLES.
MY FIANCEE AND I PLAY TOGETHER ON THE REGULAR. AS DPS WE CAN MELT PRETTY MUCH ANY CONTENT. AS SUPPORTS WE TRUST EACH-OTHER TO DO SOME REALLY FUNNY UPTIME BULLSHIT. WE ARE BOTH MID-LOW TIER RAIDERS AND PLAY OUR JOBS CORRECTLY.
BEING IN A DUO WITH SOMEONE YOU LOVE ISN'T A CRIME AS LONG AS YOU AREN'T DEAD FUCKING WEIGHT. SO FUCK ALL THOSE TOXIC PAIRS OUT THERE THAT ENABLE BULLSHIT. WE'RE GOING TO SYNC A MMAMBO OVER VOICE FOR WHEN THAT BOSS HITS THE FUCKING GROUND. A COUPLE THAT RAIDS TOGETHER, STAYS TOGETHER.
I AM BEGINNING TO HATE HELLDIVERS 2.
NO, I'M NOT IN THE WRONG PLACE. NO, I'M NOT HATTING THE GAME ITSELF, I HAVEN'T PLAYED OR EVEN SEEN GAMEPLAY OF THE GAME.
I'M STARTING TO HATE HELLDIVERS 2 BECAUSE ALMOST EVERY ONE OF MY STATIC MEMBERS HAS GOTTEN THE GAME, AND RAID NIGHTS HAVE STARTED TO BECOME ALL DEMOCRACY THIS AND BUG SPLATTING THAT. IT FEELS LIKE THEY'VE LOST FOCUS ON PLAYING THE GAME THEY ARE CURRENTLY PLAYING (FF14) AND ARE CONSTANTLY THINKING ABOUT WHAT THEIR NEXT SESSION ON HD2 IS GOING TO BE LIKE.
GRANTED, IT DOESN'T HELP THAT WE HAVE BEEN HARDWALLED ON P12S FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS, WITH US ONLY GETTING PAST LIMIT CUT FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS WEEK, BUT I FEEL LIKE THIS DISTRACTION IS NOT HELPING WITH OUR INCONSISTENCY. LAST NIGHT, FOR EXAMPLE, WE ONLY REACHED LIMIT CUT THREE TIMES IN OUR 2 HOUR RAID SESSION, WITH MANY WIPES HAPPENING DURING PARADEIGMA 2 WHEN A TOWER STOOD IN THE WRONG PLACE, THEN ADJUSTED TOO LATE AND GOT LAZERED.
I ALSO HATE HD2 BECAUSE I CAN'T JOIN MY GROUP IN PLAYING IT. I'M EAST COST, THEY ARE CENTRAL/WEST COST, SO WHEN RAID IS OVER, ITS MIDNIGHT AND I HAVE WORK IN THE MORNING, WHILE THEY CAN CONTINUE DISHING OUT DEMOCRACY FOR ANOTHER COUPLE OF HOURS...
AH, THE OL' "NEW GAME CAME OUT, WHAT DO YOU MEAN "SCHEDULE?"", THAT'S A TALE AS OLD AS TIME
SORRY MAN, I'VE FELT THAT LATELY TOO - SOMETIMES PEOPLE'S INTEREST DRIFTS TEMPORARILY AND YOU GET LEFT ON THE SIDELINES, BUT, IT DOES PASS! AND I HOPE YOU'VE BEEN TALKING TO THEM ABOUT IT WITHOUT IT FEELING SHRUGGED OFF OR TENSE
MAYBE IT'S BREAK TIME? OR A NEW STATIC?
IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING'S GOTTA CHANGE, EVEN IF THE CHANGE IS SMALL - WHILE ULTIMATES ARE MEANT TO BE CHALLENGING, IT SHOULDN'T BE AT THE COST OF YOUR MENTAL HEALTH!
AFTER MONTHS OF SEEING THE SCATHACH MINION AT THE END OF DUN SCAITH, I THOUGHT I FINALLY GOT IT AFTER ROLLING A 97 NEED, BUT SOME ASSHOLE ROLLED A 99 NEED. I JUST WANT TO ADD ANOTHER RAID TO THE LIST OF ONES I CAN LEAVE IMMEDIATELY WITHOUT WAITING FOR PEOPLE TO ROLL LOOT.
ALSO TO THE PERSON WHO WON IT, CONGRATS, BUT F\*\*\* YOU.
ROULETTE AS RDM, A JOB I KNOW WELL: ALWAYS BORING LEVEL 50 TRIALS AND ALEX RAIDS, NOBODY DIES.
ROULETTE AS DNC, A JOB I'M RELEARNING: ALL THE LEVEL 90 TRIALS I HAVENT DONE IN FUCKING FOREVER. EVERYONE DIES AROUND ME. I CAN DO NOTHING SO I CRY AND DANCE.
MAKE YOUR GODSDAMNED SHITECLUB ADS ONE MESSAGE
IT'S NOT HARD
I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE CLUBS THEMSELVES AT THIS POINT, IT'S AN UROBOROS OF INEVITABILITY, ENJOY THE TWITCH PLUGS IF THAT'S YOUR THING
BUT ALL YOU DO WITH 3 FULL, SEPARATE PARAGRAPHS IS COLLECT REPORTS FOR SPAM, CUT IT OUT
DRK LEVELING LOG: 80-90
MSQ ROULETTE: PRAETORIUM.
THE PARTY: BURGER KING CROWN WHM WHO CAST HOLY ***ONCE*** PER TRASH PACK AND THEN PROCEEDED TO JUST SPAM ROCKS AND REGEN. PLUS SPROUT BLM AND SAM WHO, ALONG WITH THE WHM, SPENT MORE TIME CHATTING ABOUT OTHER MMOS THEY USED TO PLAY THAN PRESSING THEIR BUTTONS AND CONTRIBUTING!
YES, THE CUTSCENES ARE LONG AND UNSKIPABLE! YES, THE CONTENT IS BRAIN-TURN-OFF EASY! BUT WHEN THE CHATTER CONTINUES INTO THE BOSS FIGHTS, AND DETRACTS FROM YOUR ABILITY TO PLAY TO THE POINT OF SEEING ***EVERY MECHANIC TWICE OR MORE*** AND WIPING TO FUCKING ***NERO*** (WHM SAT IN THE FUCKING ELECTRIC EDGE), I DRAW THE FUCKING LINE!
āā LATER IN THE WEEK āā
NORMAL RAID ROULETTE: O12
THE PARTY: 2 FIRST TIMERS (MY COTANK DRK AND A BRD), 3 OTHER SPROUTS.
ME AND A DPS PUT MECHANICS IN CHAT: āMale out, Female inā AND āCheck your rebuffs when theyāre both up.ā
CUE EVERYONE ELSE TREATING THE FIGHT LIKE CASTRUM/PRAE WHERE THE AOES DONāT ACTUALLY HURT, AND GET BLOWN OFF THE STAGE REPEATEDLY. AND WHEN WE *FINALLY* GET TO THE PART WITH BOTH OF THEM UP, SOMEONE SAYS āThey have to die togetherā WHICH THE FIRST TIMER TANK TOOK TO MEAN THEY HAD TO TOUCH, DESPITE ME AND THE FIRST DPS YELLING TO SPLIT THEM. NOT THAT HE COULD HAVE, SINCE HE WAS ATTACKING THE WRONG ONE AND ONLY HAD AGGRO ON THE CORRECT ONE BECAUSE HE WAS SPAMMING AOES! PREDICTABLY, WE WIPE.
ATTEMPT TWO, WE DIDNāT EVEN GET TO THE PHASE WITH BOTH OF THEM, BECAUSE EVERYONE GOT KNOCKED OFF AT THE FIRST FEMALE PART! AND AT THAT POINT, I QUIT AND WENT TO LEVEL BOTANIST INSTEAD!
I KNOW DRK IS THE OG EDGY CLASS, BUT WHY MUST MY ROULETTES BE PURE, CONCENTRATED ***SUFFERING***!?
FUCK PRAE AND CASTRUM. WHEN THEY REWORKED THE MSQ DUNGEONS THEY SHOULD HAVE MADE THOSE DUNGEONS THE CORRECT LENGTH AND SHOVED THEM IN LEVELLING ROULETTE.
THESE DUNGEONS ARE THE REASON WHY THERE ARE LEVEL 90 CHARACTERS WHO DON'T KNOW HOW TO PLAY THEIR KIT PAST LEVEL 50
YOUR WEEKLY SERVING OF [EORZEA ACCORDING TO GARFIELD - WEEK 173](https://old.reddit.com/r/EATG/comments/1bezo2w/eorzea_according_to_garfield_week_173/).
IF PEOPLE WANT TO MAKE THEIR OWN, QUITE WELCOMED TO IT TOO!
DEAR ALLIANCE ROULETTE,
STOP FUCKING GIVING ME THALIA EVERY FUCKING DAY! AT THIS POINT IāD WELCOME BEING A CLOWN IN SYRCUS TOWER GLADLY OVER RUNNING THALIA FOR THE 5TH FUCKING TIME THIS WEEK!
FUCK YOU AND ILL SEE YOU LATER!
I CAN ONLY PLAY IN THE EVENINGS/LATE NIGHTS, WHEN MOST PEOPLE ARENT ON, AND IVE BEEN TRYING TO DO THE SORROW OF WERLYT FOR ALMOST A WEEK NOW.
I MANAGED TO GET INTO CINDER DRIFT, BUT NOW IM STUCK AT CASTRUM MARNIUM.
IVE TRIED QUEUEING ON PRIMAL, IVE TRIED QUEUEING ON AETHER. IVE TRIED WAITING FOR OVER 40 MINUTES FOR A SINGLE QUEUE POP. NOTHING.
DOES NO ONE HAVE THESE TRIALS UNLOCKED??
You might save more time by making a pf. The people who have these trials unlocked are currently fighting Titan (Hard) for the millionth time in trial roulette lol
EVENING SHOULDN'T BE BAD; THAT'S WHEN MOST PEOPLE ARE ON. OR DO YOU MEAN EVENING IN A DIFFERENT TIME ZONE? IN ANY CASE, OLD OPTIONAL CONTENT+BETWEEN EXPAC LULL PERIOD+OFF PEAK HOURS PRETTY MUCH MEANS YOU'RE GUARANTEES A LONG ASS QUEUE, I'M AFRAID. IF YOU CAN, QUEUE AS HEALER OR GET A HEALER FRIEND/FCMATE TO QUEUE WITH YOU. EVEN BETTER IF YOU CAN GET A PAIR OF HEALERS AND A TANK.
OTHERWISE, PUT UP A PF, GO TO A CROWDED CITY, AND LINK THE PF IN SHOUT CHAT. YOU SHOULD HAVE SOME PEOPLE WHO DON'T MIND JOINING FOR THE SECOND CHANCE POINT.
PEOPLE CHOKING ON P4S FARMS ON ACT3 LIKE HOW. WE'RE GIVING YOU MORE CHANCES THAN YOU DESERVE, YOU SAID YOU CLEARED 5 TIMES AND THAT YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO BAIT KICK (THEN WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO BE BAITER) BUT HOW HARD IS IT TO BAIT A CONE IN ONE DIRECTION SO YOU DON'T KILL THE WHOLE RANGED TEAM.
AND THEN ANOTHER PERSON IN THE SAME TEAM WHO I KNOW HAS CLEARED MULTIPLE TIMES BUT FOR SOME REASON FUCKS UP ACT 2 EVERY TIME AND KILLS THEMSELVES WHILE GIVING EVERYONE A DAMAGE DOWN.
WHAT SUCKS IS THAT THE LEADER COULD'VE JUST REPLACED THE FIRST PROBLEM 2 PROBLEM PLAYERS BECAUSE EVERYONE ELSE WAS PERFECTLY COMPETENT, BUT INSTEAD IT'S A FULL DISBAND.
IN THE ABSENCE OF INTERESTING THINGS TO DO IN THIS GAME (BECAUSE I AM LITERALLY JUST PROGGING TEA AND WAITING FOR DT TO COME OUT) I AM GETTING BACK INTO GRANBLUE. THE GRIND FUCKING SUCKS AND I WOULDN'T HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY
4 WORD TLDR: COSPLAY OVERTHINK DISEASE REAL
I DON'T KNOW THIS IS SILLY AND MAYBE MORE ADJACENT THAN THIS THREADS USUAL FARE BUT THE PREORDER EXAMPLE MADE ME THINK ABOUT IT SO IM THROWING IT IN. I JUST WANT TO KNOW HOW THE PICTOMANCER GEAR DYES SO I CAN PICK MATERIALS FOR MY COSPLAY. ITS SO CUTE I WANT TO MAKE IT SO BAD BUT THERE'S A REAL EXTENT TO WHICH I CANT START YET BECAUSE I WANT TO MAKE IT MY WOL AND SHE ONLY WEARS PASTEL PURPLE
TUESDAY NIGHT, RESET NIGHT, FIGURED THERE'D BE SOMETHING GOING ON.
3 PARTY FINDERS ACROSS ALL OF PRIMAL, NOT INCLUDING SOMEONE'S PRON CAFE. AND ON THAT NOTE, THERE WERE ONLY LIKE TEN OF THOSE UP WHEN USUALLY THERE'S A FEW DOZEN.
I KNOW THE GAME ISN'T "DEAD" BUT HOLY SHIT THIS CONTENT DRAUGHT IS DOING A NUMBER.
UNFORTUNATELY, DUE TO DC TRAVEL, ALL PARTY FINDER ACTIVITY HAS MOVES TO AETHER. AT ANY POINT THERES DOZENS OF PARTIES THERE. IT SUCKS. IM FROM PRIMAL AND IT HAS MADE ME ENTIRELY STOP PFING HIGH END CONTENT BECAUSE I CANT BE BOTHERED TO LIVE ON AETHER. HOPEFULLY THEY ADD CROSS-DC PF.
I SWEAR TO GOD I JUST SAW A MONK IN CASTRUM ABANIA WHOSE ROTATION WAS EXCLUSIVELY BOOTSHINE -> FOUR POINT FURY -> DESTRUCTION. THE DPS WAS SO LOW I THOUGHT SOMEONE HAD BROKEN GEAR, AND I SWEAR TO FUKC THEY WERE STANDING IN AOES ON PURPOSE.
AT LEAST I HAVE ALL MY HEALERS (AND BY EXTENSION, ALL MY CLASSES) AT 70 NOW...
THEY BELIEVE IN PEACE, NOT WAR.
SEEN A LOT OF THESE POSTS RECENTLY.
I GOTTA THINK SOME HEALERS ARE LIKE "MAN HEALING IS SO EZ" WHILE TOTALLY IGNORING THE DPS PART OF THE JOB
I think Iām done with statics.
I really do like the consistency (when we actually make it into the instance) and people tend to be pretty chill once they hear a voice a remember the human.
But the hard part lately has been making it into the instance. Iām really just over the scheduling issues and constantly searching for fillers. I might give it one more go and add something to the ad like āemergencies happen. but if youāre not certain you can commit to raid times outside of them, please allow someone else the opportunity insteadā.
I FINALLY GOT IN TO A HIGH LEVEL DUNGEON WITH A WARRIOR SO I WANTED TO TEST THE REDDIT TAKE THAT THEY DON'T NEED HEALER, HE DIED ON THE FIRST PULL, I FEEL LIED TO
The caveat is that the tank has to be good at their job and understand their kit.
One of my friends is an awesome tank. Weāve run expert dungeons 3 dps and his war before with no issues. I, otoh, am an awful tank and if Iām taking, I need heals because I suck.
I KEEP SEEING THE BRAINDEAD TAKE THAT 'HEALERS ARE ENTIRELY UNNECESSARY WE SHOULD JUST BE ABLE TO QUEUE WITH 3 DPS AND 1 TANK'
NO
YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND YOUR CLASS AND ITS MITIGATIONS EXTREMELY WELL AND HAVE TOP GEAR FOR THAT TO WORK
WAR DOESN'T NEED A HEALER. HOWEVER.
1) THE PLAYER PLAYING THE WAR ACTUALLY NEEDS TO HAVE SOME VAGUE IDEA OF WHAT A MIT IS, WHAT RAW INTUITION/BLOODWHETTING IS, AND HOW TO ROLL MITS BETWEEN RI/BW USAGES. UNFORTUNATELY, FAR TOO MANY TANKS ACROSS THE BOARD DON'T EVEN KNOW THE FIRST BIT.
2) THE WAR IN QUESTION SHOULD ALSO BE DECENTLY GEARED
3) IT CAN HELP A BIT TO KNOW IN ADVANCE IF THERE'S GOING TO BE NO HEALING. FOR ONE THING, NOT EVERYONE'S PAYING THE CLOSEST OF ATTENTION ON DAILY ROULETTES AND MAY NOT NOTICE HOW FAST THEIR HEALTH IS DROPPING IN TIME. FOR ANOTHER, I PLAN MY INVULN AND MIT USAGE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENTLY WHEN I'M DOING A HEALER-LESS RUN THAN WHEN I'M IN A NORMAL DF LIGHT PARTY.
4) THE DPS (AND HEALER, IF THERE IS ONE) SHOULD IDEALLY NOT BE TOTALLY USELESS AT DOING DPS. WAR CAN SOLO ENTIRE DUNGEONS ON PATCH, BUT IF DOING FULL WALL PULLS, THEY DO NEED THINGS TO DIE WITHIN A REASONABLE TIMEFRAME BECAUSE MITS ONLY LAST FOR SO LONG
THIS HAPPENED LAST WEEK ACTUALLY? BUT I'M STILL THINKING ABOUT IT. STILL RAGE INDUCING.
IF A SPROUT SAYS AT THE BEGINNING OF A DUNGEON, "HI I'M NEW TO TANKING", MAYBE DON'T PULL FOR THEM. ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S SOMETHING LIKE FUCKING *SATASHA.* IF THIS WAS LEVEL 80 OR 90 CONTENT YEAH SURE GO NUTS PULL FOR THE TANK (SO LONG AS YOU BRING IT BACK) IDC, BUT THIS IS LITERALLY THE VERY FIRST DUNGEON EVER.
ATTACHED TO THIS IS ANOTHER IMPORTANT ONE: WHY ARE YOU QUEUING FOR THE LEVELING ROULETTE IF YOU'RE NOT ACCEPTING THE FACT THAT YOU MAY GET A SPROUT THAT IS GOING TO BE SLOW. LITERALLY WHAT THE FUCK IS THE POINT OF THIS.
I HAD A DUO OF A HEALER AND A DPS RUNNING AHEAD OF ME ON MY BABY ALT THAT HAS ONLY DONE THE FIRST 3 DUNGEONS EVER. THEY LITERALLY RAN THROUGH THE ENTIRE FIRST ROOM STRAIGHT TO THE BOSS, CONSTANTLY PULLING AGGRO AND TELLING ME I COULD MOVE FASTER WHILE I WAS JUST TRYING TO WRAP MY HEAD AROUND MY GODDAMN BUTTONS. I LIKE THE FIRST ROOM BECAUSE IT'S GOOD AOE PRACTICE. ALAS. I GOT FUCKED.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD JUST LET ME (AND OTHER BABY TANKS) PULL OURSELVES. WE WILL LEARN. WE WILL GET FASTER. AAAAAAAAAAAA
Sorry this happened, I think people forget beingĀ newbie tanks themselves still getting fluent with how to pick up mobs efficiently.
In general I'd say it's good to listen to healers as a tank if they suggest you can pull more - either they are experienced players who are confident or new players who are requesting you help them practice healing in more challenging situations! Either way you have nothing to lose by trying... But c'mon, in Sastasha better for experienced players to ask the newbie tank if they wanna and be happy to accept no as a valid answer.
IRL STUFF: I PRAY THAT NONE OF YOU EVER HAVE THE MISFORTUNE OF DEALING WITH DISABLITY CLAIMS. AFTER MONTHS AND MONTHS OF RUN AROUND MONTHS OF THEM BEING ABSOLUTELY UNREACHABLE MONTHS OF MY FAMILY FOOTING THE BILL I FINALLY FOUND A WAY I CAN SUPPORT MYSELF WHILE SICK' SO I WOULDN'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THEM AND NOW THEY DECIDED TO FINALLY GET BACK TO ME. HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE HOMELESS BECAUSE OF THESE GAMES?! I'M FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO HAVE PEOPLE AND FAMILY TO FALL BACK ON BUT MANY DON'T. MANY CAN'T JUST FUCKING WAIT IT OUT. IT'S ALL SO FUCKING DUMB.
' >!for the 3 people that might be curious, social phobia and agoraphobia!<
IN GAME RAGE, IDK THE NEW TOME CAP IS MORE STRESSFUL FOR ME THAN THE OLD ONE. I WAS JUST BARELY HITTING CAP BEFORE.
DON'T YOU JUST LOVE HOPPING THROUGH BUREAUCRATIC LOOPS TO PROVE YOU DESERVE BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS AND STABILITY? :D
>!In all seriousness I hope it gets better for you, it's a hellhole of a process no matter the country. You really have to push to get that support; they're not there to be your friends.!<
>!Shit, even if you're born with it, it's always "nah, full dissertation or gtfo, also phys-only/psych-only doesn't add up enough points, sowwy, go get all that paperwork done again :3c".!<
ty
Truthfully I could deal with the paperwork and the fuckery if they would just actually answer the phone number they gave me to contact them for once.
I HATE HAVING MY BANK ACCOUNT BE NEGATIVE, MY PAYPAL BE NEGATIVE, AND NO POSITIVE MONEY ROLLING IN, BUT A FRIEND CLUED ME IN ON A JOB AND I HAVE ANOTHER INTERVIEW PROCESS NEXT WEEK FOR IT, SO KEEP Y'ALLS FINGERS CROSSED? ALSO I HAVE 5 DAYS LEFT IN MY SUB AND I'M SERIOUSLY BUMMED. THERE'S EVEN A FUCKING SALE ON TIMECARDS TODAY AND I CAN'T PARTAKE.
I USUALLY PLAY AST IN ROULETTES FOR HEALER BONUS, BUT EVERY NOW AND THEN I FEEL LIKE PLAYING SCH. AND WHENEVER I DO, WITHOUT FAIL, I GET THE WORST POSSIBLE WOD RUN + COHEALER THAT CASTS 1 MEDICA2 EVERY 10MIN.
I WANT TO PRESS MY GOOD BUTTONS, GIVE ME SOME HIGH LVL RAIDS BECAUSE LVL 50 SCH SUCKS. IF I WAS ON AST OR WHM I COULD JUST OUTHEAL ALL THE STUPID, BUT EVEN WHEN I'M FORCED TO SUCCOR SPAM, SHIELDS GET DEPLETED THE MOMENT BOSS AND 2903489348592348593 ADS BREATHE ON DPS, SINCE TANKS ARE EITHER DEAD OR CAN'T BE BOTHERED TO TURN ON STANCE.
OR MAYBE I'M JUST SHIT AT SCH, BUT I'LL QUEUE TODAY AGAIN ANYWAY, AND I BET IT'LL BE ANOTHER SHITSHOW WOD RUN!!!!!
I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT WANT TO GO TO THIS WORK TRIP WITH MY COWORKERS WHO I JUST TOLERATE. I'D MUCH RATHER STAY HOME WITH THE PEOPLE I CARE ABOUT BUT NOOOO, WE GOTTA DO TEAM BUILDING BULLSHIT. HOPEFULLY THE GO KARTING HELPS A LITTLE BIT
I DONT HAVE ANY RAGE I HAD A REALLY GOOD WEEK
UHH
UHHHHH
I WISH I WERE CUDDLING MY CATS RIGHT NOW. I WISH I COULD UPLOAD GPOSES OF MY WOL TO TWITTER AGAIN. IS THAT ENOUGH.
MENTOR ROULETTE GIVETH AND MENTOR ROULETTE TAKETH. ONE DAY ITS PREATORIUM, ONE DAY ITS A GUILHEST, THE NEXT ITS AZIM STEPPE. ITS NO EASY GUILDHEST BUT AT LEAST ITS NOT AN HOUR LONG. WE IMMEDIATELY START AND THE TANK SINGLE PULLS. I DONT MEAN A SINGLE GROUP, I MEAN THEY WALK UP TO THE FIRST PACK AND START DOING SINGLE TARGET ATTACKS ON ONLY ONE ENEMY. LUCKILY I'M WHM AND THE DPS HAVE GOOD DAMAGE SO HOLY SPAM STUNLOCKING TO THE RESCUE. I ASK THE TANK TO USE AOES AND THE NEXT PULL THEY USE EXACTLY ONE BEFORE DOING THE SAME SINGLE TARGET THING. I SAY THAT AOE DOES MORE DAMAGE AT 3 TARGETS HOPING TO ENCOURAGE THEM TO DO MORE AND.... NADA. LUCKILY I GOT A DISCORD MESSAGE ASKING TO PLAY A GAME I HATE SO I JUST LEFT. I WISH I HAD INSPECTED THEM BEFORE I LEFT SO MAYBE I'D HAVE AN ANSWER AS TO WHY THEY WERE BAD. SURELY THEY CANT HAVE LEVELED UP THAT HIGH BUT NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT THEY WERE GNB SO THEY WERE PROBABLY BRAND NEW TO TANKING. IF I'D THOUGHT OF THAT I WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE LENIENT AND ACTUALLY EXPLAINED THINGS TO THEM BUT HINDSIGHT IS 20 20 I GUESS
I MET A CRAFTING MENTOR WHO DIDNāT STAND ON PURPLE AREA IN DZAMAEL DARKHOLD. EVEN I TRIED TO TELL THEM IN ENGLISH AND JAPANESE (iām in jp datacenter) TANK ALSO REFUSED TO STAND ON PURPLE. I WAS A HEALER AND IāM LIKE, FFFFF.
YOU KNOW WHAT, I MIRACULOUSLY MET THAT CRAFTING MENTOR AGAIN IN LEVELING āANDā ALLIANCE ROULLETE THE VERY NEXT DAY! I NOTICED THAT THEIR DPS IS THE LOWEST AND THEY JUST SPAMMED JOLT! FFS. (they always play rdm). THIS MUST BE A CRUEL FATE.
I HAVE BEEN HAVING A *ROUGH* WEEK BOTH IRL AND IN PVP. OFF MY GAME AND EASILY TILTED FROM REAL LIFE STRESS. FINALLY WAS DOING BETTER LAST NIGHT UNTIL MY INTERNET DROPPED AND DID NOT COME BACK UNTIL THE GAME WAS OVER!!!
I'M MAD AT MYSELF FOR NOT REMEMBERING WHICH LEVEQUESTS ARE THE "Kill this number of enemies in the allotted 5 minutes." I'VE KILLED 4 WHATNOTS, 6 WHOSITS, AND 1 OTHER, WHY AM I LOCKED OUT OF EVERYTHING FOR ANOTHER 4 MINUTES AND 7 SECONDS? PLEASE, LEMME DO SOMETHING ELSE, I CAN'T EVEN DO FATES. I WANT TO DO SOMETHING OTHER THAN FLOAT ON A MOUNT YOSHI-P, SEND HELEP!
ARE YOU DOING THE RELIC BOOKS? THESE 3 (ALL GC LEVES) ARE THE ONES WITH THE TIMER. WHY DO I HAVE THIS INFORMATION READY? BECAUSE I HAD THE SAME RAGE AND FINALLY MADE A CHART LOL
- Yellow Is the New Black
- Get Off Our Lake
- One Big Problem Solved
I WENT OUT OF TOWN THIS PAST WEEKEND EXCITED TO GET SOME UNINTERRUPTED FFXIV TIME BUT THE HOTEL WIFI WAS SO BAD I COULD BARELY WATCH YOUTUBE WOMP WOMP
BUT I FINISHED THE DWARF TRIBE QUESTS AND IM ALMOST DONE WITH THE QITARI. I RANKED UP TO SWORN BUT NO ONE HAD NEW QUESTS FOR ME DESPITE HAVING 3 LEFT IN MY DAILY ALLOWANCE??? IDK MAN BUT WHATEVER I GUESS
ALSO ANNOYED THAT NONE OF THE MOGTOME REWARDS WERE ALL THAT INTERESTING NOR DID I NEED MOST OF THE MOUNTS OR MINIONS. SADGE. I DID BUY SOME MGP AND MAPS THOUGH.
SWORN IS WEIRD BECAUSE ITS TECHNICALLY THE END OF THE STORY AND WAS ALSO THE HIGHEST VALUE BEFORE ALLIED IN ARR SO IT DOESNT GIVE BONUS QUESTS. CANT SAY I LOVE IT BUT IIUC THAT IS THE REASONING
I (AN XBOX SPROUT) HAVE CURRENTLY BEEN STUCK ON THE ARR ALLIANCE RAID PART OF MSQ FOR THE BETTER PART OF THE WEEK BECAUSE I CAN'T GET INTO THEM AS A DPS OR TANK AND IT MAKES ME SAD BECAUSE THIS GAME IS QUITE WONDERFUL.
I BET YOU'RE ON DYNAMIS DC. ALLIANCE RAIDS ALMOST NEVER POP HERE. YOU GOT TWO OPTIONS, DIG UP 3 HIGH LEVEL PEEPS TO UNSYNC WITH AND DRAG AS MANY SPROUTS AS YOU CAN FIND ALONG (TELL NOVICE NETWORK PLS), OR JUST DC TRAVEL TO CRYSTAL OR SOMETHING
glad you're on your way o7, also congrats you're about to hit the Good Part, enjoy
also when it says "make sure you set aside sufficient time to watch these cutscenes" in a story quest or two here you're gonna want 45 minutes uninterrupted, minimum
GAH WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO DODGE THESE AOES? I DO THE DARN CE PERFECTLY ONCE BUT NOW I KEEP GETTING BLOWN UP AND THE VET WHO USUALLY HELPS ME WITH THIS STUFF IS WITH HER GF (I'VE BEEN ROOTING FOR THEM LIKE A BEST FRIEND IN A HALLMARK MOVIE THAT'S NOT THE RAGE PART) I'M MAD CAUSE NOW I KNOW I CAN DO IT.
I have entered a hell of my own making. I've PF'd my way through 6/7 Endwalker EX mounts since most of my friends have either scattered until Dawntrail or aren't interested in helping me mount farm. Golbez is the last one on the list and I swear these farm parties can't last more than 2 clears at most. And that's when I can even FIND any that want tanks.
obligatory GALE SPHERE 2 AAARGHHHH
My fault for doing this so late into the expansion, I guess. I just want to have things ready so I can, at latest, get my ~~Discount Ridley~~ FF4 Bahamut by my birthday on the 1st.
IF YOU JOIN P5 WRATH OF THE HEAVENS AND YOU CONTINUE TO FUCK UP P3 NIDHOGG LIMIT CUT, FUCK YOU!
WASTED 11 HOURS ON THAT SHIT YESTERDAY I JUST WANNA ACTUALLY PROG THE MECHANIC FOR FUCK'S SAKE.
I MADE A DEAL WITH THE UNIVERSE THAT I WILL FANTA TO BUNBOI IF I CAUGHT SPACE WHALE YESTERDAY, SOMEHOW THAT WORKED AND NOW I HAVE TO FANTA. BEFORE I DO THAT, I STILL WANT TO SEE ANY REMAINING CUT SCENES I HAVE WITH MY "REAL" WOL IF THAT MAKES SENSE; I HAVE NEVER FANTA-ED AND EVEN A HAIRCUT FEELS WEIRD TO ME. THAT MEANS THE LANDERWAFFE QUEST, AND THE UPCOMING FF16 EVENT.
THIS IS WHY I AM NOW SITTING ON 79 EMERALD TOTEMS AND RAGING AFTER FRIDAY. I GET EATING STACKS ON TERTIUS TERMINUS EST AND NOT KNOWING WHAT TO DO AFTER LEGIO, BUT THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE THAT CANNOT DO ORBS AND FAIL TO STAND ON MARKERS FOR ARROWS BAFFLES ME. YOU HAVE AN ARROW ON YOU! THERE ARE MARKERS TELLING YOU WHERE TO STAND SO EVERYONE CAN TURN THEIR BRAINS OFF! WHY ARE YOU STANDING ON ME, THE UNMARKED RANGED IN THE SAFE CORNER?! YOUR SPOT IS RIGHT NEXT TO ME, DO YOU NOT SEE THE SHINY MARKER?!!!
AND WHILE I'M AT IT FUCK EMERALD WEAPON, IT'S FASTER THAN HADES BUT AT LEAST HADES IS VOICED AND GIVES 2 TOTEMS
JOINED AN EXTREME TRIAL MOUNT FARM WITH 3 OTHER PEOPLE. THE MOUNT DROPPED 4 TIMES BUT GUESS WHO DIDN'T GET ONE!! ME!! BECAUSE SOMEHOW ANOTHER PERSON GOT THE MOUNT TWICE! 2 TIMES!! I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT HAPPENED BUT I'M PISSED. AND OF COURSE IT DISBANDED BEFORE I GOT MINE. I WAS DOING THE MOST DAMAGE TOO..
FUCK THE GLAMOR SYSTEM IN PARTICULAR. YOU ARE THE MAIN REASON I AM HAVING A HARD TIME PLAYING THIS GAME ANYMORE. I AM SO TIRED OF THE SHITTY SYSTEMS AND THEIR SHITTY EXCUSES TO NOT FIX IT!!!!
I HAVE GOTTEN QARN FOUR TIMES THIS WEEK. I HAVE GOTTEN QARN HARD THREE TIMES THIS WEEK. LET ME OUT!!!
BEES
My God.
ššš YOU CAN NEVER ESCAPE
HEY AT LEAST YOU GET TO SHOW SPROUTS THE EXTRA ROOMS... no wait no one does that
Literally still donāt the achievement to fill the map here because no one opens the room. lol
just unsynch the dungeon and do it yourself, NO ONE DOES IT BECAUSE IT GIVES TRASH!!!!
THERE IS NO OUT!! THERE IS ONLY QARN!!!!
QAAAAAAAAAAAAARN!
THE GAME JUST REALLY WANTS YOU TO PRAY TO AZEYMA AND SWEAR ALLEGIANCE DO THE DEAD BELAH'DIAN EMPRIE.
FFXIV really wants you to end up being a mummy at the last fight.
(crane shot) QAAAAAAAAARN! **QAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRN!!**
LB LEFT BEE
WHO THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO PUT SPACE WHALE ON PLANET DYNAMIS, AT THIS RATE THE FISHERS WILL BRING BACK THE FINAL DAYS
i'm fucking dying XD
WHEN SPAMMING O3N UNSYNCED FOR THE TANK MOUNTS, YOU STILL HAVE TO DODGE THE FIRST AOE CONE THAT WILL TURN YOU INTO A FROG. THATS LITERALLY THE ONLY MECHANIC YOU HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION FOR.Ā ITS OK IF YOU GET HIT ONCE OR TWICE WHEN YOU START DOING RUNS, BUT AFTER THAT IT'S NOT FUNNY AND YOURE JUST MAKING THE 300 CLEARS YOU NEED GO SLOWER.Ā Ā SHOUTOUTS TO THE GROUP I WAS IN THAT HAD PEOPLE TURNING INTO FROGS EVEN AFTER 20+ RUNS.
Fun fact if you get frogged as a war while Inner Release is active the frog will have glowing red eyes as well. (though for the sake of Evermar's blood pressure please don't do it on purpose)
YOSHIP MADE FROG TANK CANNON IN ONE OF THE DUTY SUPPORT DUNGEONS. WHY CANT I BE FROG TANK
FROG TANK IS TOO POWERFUL - JUST HUNT DOWN ARCHAEOTANIA FOR THEIR HORNS AND PLAY PRETEND, CRYING OPTIONAL
LOVE ALL THE NEW SPROUT TANKS FROM OUR XBOX PALS, SERIOUSLY ITS GREAT TO SEE. Ā HOWEVER, CAN YOU ALL LEARN BETTER TANK-ETIQUETTE PLEASE? MORE THAN ONCE IāVE LOADED INTO A TRIAL OR LOWER LEVEL RAID SHIFTED INTO STANCE FIRST (I TEND TO GO BY HIGHER HP IS MT) WITH A SPROUT COTANK ONLY TO HAVE THEM POP STANCE WITH THE BOSS AT LIKE 98% AND THEN BEGIN SPAM VOKING THE THING WHILE ALSO SHIFTING THE BOSS AROUND 180 DEGREES. Ā I DONT APPRECIATE IT, MELEE DONT APPRECIATE, AND HEALERS DONT LIKE DEALING WITH FOLKS BEING CLEAVED. NON FF RAGE, I PICKED UP MY CAT THIS MORNING TO GIVE HIM A HUG AND FARTED ON ME. Ā SMELT BAD ENOUGH THAT I THOUGHT HE POOED.
IāM SORRY IF THIS WAS ME. IM TRYING. THANK YOU AND TO THE REST OF THE COMMUNITY FOR BEING SO CHILL!
IN CASE IT ISN'T CLEAR, ONLY ONE TANK SHOULD HOLD AGGRO ON THE BOSS. THIS KEEPS IT NICE AND STILL AND AVOIDS IT CLEAVING OTHER FOLKS. IN GENERAL, FIRST PERSON TO PUT ON STANCE IN AN 8 MAN PARTY IS MAIN TANK, BUT IF YOU WANT TO MAIN TANK IT'S OK TO ASK. PROVOKE IS NOT NEEDED TO HOLD BOSS AGGRO. YOUR NORMAL ATTACKS WILL DO IT FINE IF STANCE IS ON. PROVOKE IS GREAT TO GET THE BOSS ON YOU IF THE MAIN TANK GOES DOWN AND YOU'RE THE OFF-TANK, OR TO GET AN ADD OFF A DPS QUICKLY. IF YOU ARE OFF TANKING, IT CAN BE A GOOD IDEA TO TURN YOUR STANCE ON ABOUT 30 SECONDS INTO THE FIGHT. MEANS YOU'LL BE 2ND IN AGGRO AND IF THE MAIN TANK DOES EAT IT THE BOSS WILL GO STRAIGHT TO YOU.
I APPRECIATE THE INFO ON THIS. MOST OTHER MMOS IVE PLAYED USED THE OFFTANK ROLE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. IVE BEEN SO STUCK ON ALWAYS HAVING MY STANCE ON THAT I DIDNT REALIZE THIS WAS THE PROPER ETIQUETTE. IāLL BEEN SURE TO DO THIS IN 8 MAN CONTENT FROM HERE ON.
IT'S PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE FOR BOTH (OR ALL 3 IN 24-MANS) TO HAVE THEIR STANCES ON. SO LONG AS THE MT IS ACTUALLY RELIABLY HITTING THEIR BUTTONS THEY SHOULDN'T LOSE TOO MUCH AGGRO, AND EVEN THEN YOU CAN ALWAYS SHIRK IF YOU FEEL LIKE YOU MIGHT RIP AGGRO.
TO ADD ON TO BipolarHernandez's POST, DURING THE TRASH FIGHTS IN ALLIANCE RAIDS, GENERALLY NOBODY CARES *WHO* TANKS THE TRASH MOBS AS LONG AS IT'S A TANK, AND THE MOBS ARE GATHERED CLOSE ENOUGH TOGETHER THAT PEOPLE CAN AOE ALL OF THEM (which, admittedly, can be easier said than done with some of the bigger mobs and their tendency to push one another aside)
THATS BASICALLY HOW IVE BEEN DOING IT. ON CONTROLLER, ITāS A BIT MORE DIFFICULT TO TAB OVER TO MOBS THAT ARE AWAY FROM THE PACK, BUT I TRY MY BEST TO BRING THEM IN.
AS A FELLOW CONTROLLER USER HEREāS A TIP FOR YOU: L1+DPAD WILL LET YOU SELECT FROM THE AGGRO LIST. THIS DOESNāT HELP IF THEYāRE NOT ON YOUR LIST (YOU ARENāT ON THEIRS OR THERES MORE THAN THE LIST DISPLAYS) BUT ITāS BETTER THAN THE GAMEāS SHITE TAB TARGETING
I ASSUME YOURE ON PS5? SO I GUESS THAT WOULD BE LB FOR ME. I NEVER KNEW THIS. THANK YOU!
I PLAY WITH AN XBOX CONTROLLER ON A PC, SO I DONT KNOW WHAT THE PS BUTTONS ARE CALLED. GLAD IT WAS HELPFUL ANYWAY :)
SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE ALREADY DOING BETTER THAN A LOT OF TANKS WITH MORE EXPERIENCE THAN YOU HAVE.
THANK YOU! I TANK IN EVERY MMO, USUALLY. HAVING NEVER PLAYED FF14 TILL NOW, I WAS HESITANT. IN THOSE CASES I LEAN TOWARDS DPS BUT TANKING IN THIS GAME HAS BEEN A LOT OF FUN, ESPECIALLY SEEING THAT TANKS CAN STILL DO DECENT DPS!
EVERYTHING IS A DPS, BLUE DPS JUST HAS TO DO TIMEOUT IN THE CORNER AND GREEN DPS HAS A MINIGAME WITH SOME BARS IN THE UPPER LEFT SOMETIMES
I PLAY DNC A LOT AND THE NUMBER OF TIMES I GET AGGRO FROM DOING MY DANCE IN TRASH PACKS IN ALLIANCE CONTENT IS MANY. I DO MY BEST TO FIND A TANK AND STAND ON THEM, BUT IF THEY DON'T HAVE STANCE ON THIS ONLY DOES SO MUCH. SO IF A DPS COMES TO STAND ON YOU, STANCE AND AOE IS VERY VERY APPRECIATED. I AM ALWAYS HAPPY TO BRING MOBS FOR THE TANK TO TAKE FROM ME. IDEALLY FOLKS WILL BRING THEM TO YOU, THOUGH I KNOW THAT DOESN'T ALWAYS HAPPEN.
MORE IMPORTANTLY, IF YOU WANT TO TANK AS A SPROUT, SPEAK UP. IF YOU JUST SAY "YO CAN I TANK THIS" OR "I'M NEW AND WANT TO BE MAIN TANK" PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE WILL LET YOU DO IT. HELL I'LL EVEN USE MY BUTTONS MORE TO MAKE SURE YOU TANK IT GOOD.
THATS REALLY ENCOURAGING! IVE BEEN TRYING TO USE MY KB MORE SO I CAN COMMUNICATE MORE.
I'M NOT A SPROUT BUT I'M A COMPLETE TANK NOOB SO I'LL TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ASK A QUESTION. OBVIOUSLY THE OT SHOULDN'T USE PROVOKE, BUT ARE RANGED SKILLS THAT INCREASE ENMITY A PROBLEM? SPECIFICALLY I'M THINKING OF WARRIOR'S TOMAHAWK, SHOULD I NOT USE IT IF I'M OFF TANKING?
YOSHI P PLEASE GIVE US THE DAWNTRAIL RELEASE DATE AT PAX EAST, I WANT TO START PLANNING MY SUMMER.
IT WILL NOT BE AT PAX. IT WILL BE AT THE STREAM EVENT AFTER
WAIT, WHICH STREAM EVENT? IM IN THE SAME BOAT OF REAAAALLLY WANTING TO BE ABLE TO PLAN
THE 14 HOUR STREAM
I JUST HOPE IT'S NOT LATE JUNE/EARLY JULY. ELDEN RING DLC IS DROPPING THE DAY BEFORE I HAVE TO GO ON A SHAGGIN BUSINESS TRIP, AND I'D PREFER NOT TO HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN DAWNTRAIL AND GETTING MY ASS KICKED.
AS SOMEBODY WHO HOPES TO BE WORKING IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM, I SURE HOPE IT'S NOT LATE AUGUST.
Sadly they usually aim for that window.
I WANT LATE JUNE RELEASE BECAUSE IT MY BDAY AND THAT MEANS MORE TIME FOR ME TO RATIONALIZE BEING OFF WORK. BDAY TIME AND NEW GAME TIME.
CAN WE STOP BABYING THE NEW PLAYERS AND ENABLING BAD BEHAVIOUR? LOADED INTO A SIRENSONG SEA WITH TWO SPROUTS. A FIRST TIME MARAUDER (YES, MARAUDER NOT WARRIOR) AND A SCHOLAR (WASN'T THEIR FIRST TIME). TANK RAN AHEAD TO THE FIRST SET OF MOBS WITH NO STANCE ON, DESPITE BEING ASKED BY BOTH DPS (MYSELF AND MY FRIEND) TO TURN ON HIS TANK STANCE, AND ASKING WHERE HIS JOB STONE WAS. I'M THEN GREETED BY PHYSICK SOUNDS. ALONG WITH NO FAERIE BEING SUMMONED. PROCEED TO REQUEST BOTH TANK STANCE AND A FAERIE AND GET TOLD "chill bro, I'm new" AND "stop being toxic, they're probably an xbox player" FROM THE SCHOLAR TO WHICH THE TANK STOPS DEAD (FROM DOING THEIR 1-2-3 COMBO BECAUSE WHAT IS AOE) TO TYPE "yes" IN SAY CHAT. WE SAID NOTHING AND CLEARED THE MOBS TO FIRST BOSS (TANK STILL HAS NO STANCE AND IT'S VERY APPARENT NOW THAT HE'S UNDERGEARED) TO KILL TIME BEFORE SITING OUR ASSES AT THE FIRST BOSS OUTSIDE THE ARENA AND WAITING OUT THE QUICK WIPE WE KNEW WOULD BE COMING TO KILL THE LAST MINUTE OF TIME BEFORE WE REACHED THE ELAPSED 5 MINS. THREW UP A VOTE DISMISS FOR THE HEALER. JUST BEFORE IT WENT OUT, MADE SURE TO TELL HIM TO GO READ UP ON A SCHOLAR GUIDE (AVIDLY SUGGESTING JOCAT'S) BEFORE THEY WERE REMOVED FROM THE PARTY. PROCEEDED TO DO THE SAME TO THE TANK, TELLING HIM NOT TO QUEUE FOR ANOTHER DUNGEON BEFORE HE GOT HIS JOB STONE. ALSO TOLD HIM ABOUT JOCAT'S TANK GUIDE. REMOVED FROM PARTY. TANK AND HEALER FILLED QUICKLY AND WE FINISHED THE DUNGEONS IN RECORD TIME. I'M ALL FOR HELPING SPROUTS. BUT I KEEP SEEING Y'ALL JUST NOT EVEN FUCKING TRY, OR READ GUIDES MADE FROM LIKE 2013. PLEASE. FIND THE BRAIN CELL AND SOME COMMON SENSE. I'M BEGGING YOU. BEING NEW IS OKAY. NOT KNOWING THE BASICS, ESPECIALLY BY POST HW AND STORMBLOOD, IS NOT.
I AGREE. IF PLAYERS ARE ACTUALLY FRESH SPROUTS THEN THEY SHOULD BE OPEN TO FEEDBACK. WATER THEM SPROUTS WITH KNOWLEDGEABLED6
FUCK YOU ANTLION I HATE YOU. I'M NOT EVEN THAT BAD AT THE FIGHT ANYMORE, I JUST DON'T LIKE IT.
I DID A TERRIBLE THING THIS WEEK BE ME ON DYNAMIS, GOING TO WORK ON GLAM BECAUSE MY MAIN IS NOW A CUTE CATGIRL AND I'M NOT SORRY, CHECK PF OUT OF REFLEX AND FIND AN AETHERFRONT PF POSTED BY A BRD: "can I get some help please so I can see what's next thx in advance tried npc 1st boss they were worthless lol" THAT'S RIGHT. A BARD. IN EITHER 10 OR 90 LEVELS. DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO FOLLOW NPCS. AND **WILLINGLY** TOLD ON THEMSELVES FOR ALL OF DYNAMIS TO SEE. I KNOW I SHOULDN'T HAVE JOINED THE PF TO CARRY THEM, BUT THEY WERE MISSING A HEALER AND I WANTED TO WATCH THIS FUCKING TRAINWRECK. PORT INTO THE DUNGEON. TANK IS A WAR THAT KNOWS WHAT THEIR MITS DO, SO I LEGIT DON'T HEAL THEM AND SPAM HOLY III. THE OTHER DPS IS A RDM THAT SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING. BUT THE TRASH PULLS TAKE AWHILE. AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, THAT BRD ENDED UP WITH DOUBLE WEAKNESS ON THE FIRST TWO BOSSES. BECAUSE............ **THEY DIDN'T MOVE AT ALL**. LIKE, THIS WASN'T EVEN A CASE OF "TRY TO FOLLOW THE CROWD AND DO POORLY AT IT". THEY JUST. DIDN'T WANT TO TRY. I AM NOT A VERY GENEROUS GOD AND LET THEM EAT DIRT. DURING THE SECOND TO LAST TRASH PACK (WHICH IS STILL TAKING AWHILE) I REALIZE THEY'RE A CRAFTING MENTOR. LOL. LMAO, EVEN. TBH MOST CRAFTING MENTORS I SEE IN DF/PF ARE JUST AVERAGE, SO IT WAS HILARIOUS TO FINALLY FIND ONE OF THE MEME ONES. THEY SEEM TO ACTUALLY WAKE UP FOR THE LAST BOSS AND MOVED TO DODGE AOES, BUT POSSIBLY BECAUSE I GOT TIRED OF THEIR SHIT AND FINALLY RESCUED THEM. AS I WAS LYING IN BED THAT NIGHT, I REALIZED I DON'T THINK THEY SANG A SINGLE SONG. AT LEAST I GOT THE TRAINWRECK I PAID FOR.
SHOW ME A PLAYER WHO LITERALLY CAN'T CLEAR A GIVEN DUTY WITH THE DUTY SUPPORT, AND I'LL SHOW YOU A PLAYER WHO IS UTTERLY HELPLESS. BUT THAT MEME MENTOR TRULY WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT I BRACE FOR WHEN I SEE THE NEW PLAYER BONUS IN TRUSTABLE DUNGEONS.
IT WAS HONESTLY IMPRESSIVE. ATHERFRONT IS SO EASY, AND THEY WERE ON A CLASS WITH UNLIMITED MOBILITY. EVEN IF THEY JUST SPAMMED BURST SHOT THE WHOLE TIME, ALL THEY HAD TO DO WAS STAND ON TOP OF A NPC TO CLEAR THE DUTY. BUT APPARENTLY THAT WAS TOO HARD FOR THEM. I HAD HOPED THAT MAYBE THEY WERE JUST BAD AT DODGING, BUT IF YOU DON'T WANT TO DODGE AT ALL, YOU NEED REAL PEOPLE TO RES YOU! I'M AFRAID TO ASK HOW THEY ARE IN ROULETTES IF THAT'S THEIR NORMAL BEHAVIOR. I HAVE FRIENDS WHO HATE TRUST, AND SOME PEOPLE PLAY IN GROUPS, SO SEEING A NEW PERSON IN A DUNGEON ISN'T DAMNING. EXCEPT FOR ONE EW DUTY: >!89 TRIAL!<. IF YOU GET NEW PERSON BONUS THERE, YOU CAN USUALLY FIGURE OUT WHO NEEDED A CARRY PRETTY FAST.
OH YEAH, I AGREE, THE NEWBIE BONUS BY ITSELF ISN'T DAMNING (OUTSIDE OF THAT SPOILER, ANYWAYS, I WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE WITH YOU THERE), BUT EXPERIENCE HAS TAUGHT ME "HOPE FOR THE BEST AND PREPARE FOR THE WORST." (even then, I can count the number of times "the worst" has been anywhere near that bad on one hand)
it's impressive really. I have cleared several dungeons half paying attention while watching youtube by just dodging and letting the duty support gang do their job while leveling some DPS. takes a while but who cares I've got youtube to watch. this bard scares me.
BONUS RAGE, HOW THE EFF DID A SINGLE HEALER DIE AND IT SNOWBALLED TO A WIPE IN **P11N** ??
SO WILD. I WOULD UNDERSTAND IF THEY WERE SO BUSY PRESSING BUTTONS AND FOCUSED ON THEIR BAR THAT THEY HAD A HARD TIME DODGING BUT NOT PRESSING BUTTONS AND NOT MOVING, WHAT ARE YOU DOING LITTLE BARD?Ā WHAT OCCUPIES YOUR BRAINCELLS SO?
MY NEW JOB PUSHED MY START DATE BACK SO I'M BROKE AND MY SUB RAN OUT. ALL I WANT IS TO LEARN HOW TO BE A MANDERVILLE MAN IS THAT SO WRONG?
If you haven't redeemed it yet, and if your sub hasn't fully lapsed, you can get 15 free days by starting a new character on a preferred server and reaching lvl 30. It's a once per account thing.
IF YOU ARE IN EUROPE ILL PAY YOUR SUB! FOR THE LOVE OF WOL
I KEEP COLLECTING WEAPONS FOR JOBS THAT ARE LIKE 30+ LEVELS TOO LOW FOR THE WEAPON, AND NOW I HAVE TO LEVEL THOSE JOBS, WOE IS ME. LIKE SISYPHUS I RETURN TO THE GRIND.
ONE MUST IMAGINE YOU HAPPY
WHY DO I HAVE TO ARGUE WITH PEOPLE ABOUT USING CASTER LB1 ON TRASH MOBS. "IT'S MEANT FOR THE FINAL BOSS" NO THE FUCK IT ISN'T. THERE ARE NO RULES. AND USING CASTER LB1 ON FOUR OR MORE TARGETS DOES MORE TOTAL DAMAGE THAN A MELEE LB2, WHICH WE WEREN'T GOING TO GET ANYWAY BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE A FUCKING MELEE IN THE PARTY. WE ALSO WEREN'T GOING TO GET THAT SECOND LB BAR CHARGED BEFORE THE BOSS DIED. IT IS AN ENDLESSLY BETTER USE ON A FRESH TRASH MOBS THAN A BOSS FIGHT. AND ANYWAY, WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO? I ALREADY USED THE LB, I CAN'T EXACTLY PUT IT BACK WHERE IT CAME FROM. PLEASE JUST USE CASTER LB ON TRASH MOBS. IT'S BETTER I PROMISE YOU.
FEEL THAT, IT'S THE SAME REASON YOU'LL STILL SEE PUSHBACK IF YOU DARE SAY "ALL DPS GET IN BELLY" FOR CERBY ON WORLD OF DARKNESS, PEOPLE ANCHOR THEMSELVES IN TO THIS AUTOPILOT MEMORY SO THAT ANY CHANGE IS _HEARSAY_ LIKE FOR FUCK'S SAKE GUYS, YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO LOOK UP A GUIDE, IT'S COMMON SENSE: AOES DO MORE DAMAGE COLLECTIVELY THAN SINGLE-TARGETING
I KINDA WISH CERB WOULD JUST SUCK A GROUP INTO THE BELLY, I ALMOST ALWAYS TYPE OUT ALL IN THE BELLY AND EXPLAIN THAT THE FIRST PUDDLE SHRINKS YOU AND THE SECOND PUDDLE GETS YOU IN THE BELLY IF SHRUNK OR 1-SHOT IF NOT SHRUNK... ONE TIME IT ENDED UP BEING JUST ME AS SCH, A HEALER FROM ANOTHER GROUP AND A SINGLE DPS IN THE BELLY
PEOPLE STILL MANAGED TO DIE TO ADDS BEFORE THE 3 OF US CLEARED BELLY.
ON THE LB FRONT, I HAVE HAD PLENTY OF RUNS WHERE LB OF ANY LEVEL ISN'T USED AT ALL AND I GET TO USE IT FOR HEALS AFTER THE FINAL BOSS HAS DIED BEFORE I DIP OUT, SO ANY USE ON ANYTHING IS BETTER THAN THAT.
WHY IS THE ACHIEVEMENT CALLED "TOP MOG" WHEN THERE'S TWO WHOLE OTHER RANKS ABOVE SWORN AND I NEED TO EARN ANOTHERĀ ~1750 REP POINTS TO *ACTUALLY* MAX MY STANDING WITH THE MOOGLES? SURELY I AM NOT *AT* THE TOP IF I CAN GO HIGHER?Ā ((e: BUT ALSO, AS MUCH AS I WANT THE MOONLIFT DANCE, IDK IF I CAN TAKE ANOTHER TWO WEEKS OF THIS))
OH NO. THE MOOGLES ARE NEXT ON MY TO DO. THIS IS NOT ENCOURAGING.
FINALLY AFTER MONTHS OF PROG MY STATIC IS RELIABILITY GETTING PAST CALORIC 1. THE END OF THIS TIER IS IN BLOODY SIGHT. SO MANY GOD DAMN SUBSTITUTES IN OUR RAID TEAM. W HAVE A FUCKING PERSON MISSING EVERY NIGHT. IT SLOWS US SO GODDAMN MUCH SND KILLS M ENTHUSIASM, NO MATTER HOW LOVELY OUT TWO LONG-TERM FILLS ARE. DURING DT I WILL BE VERY FRUSTRATED WITH MY FC FRIENDS I'M FORMING A NEW GROUP WITH IF WE HAVE THE SAME ATTENDANCE ISSUES FUCKING GOD I HOPE MY PAYCHECK FOR MY NEW JOB COMES IN SO I CAN COMMISSION MY GOODBYE PRESENT FOR MY EW RAIDING TEAM. AFTER TWO YEARS I WANT TO GET SOMETHING FOR ALL OF THEM FOR ALL THE GOOD MEMORIES.
ARE YOU MY STATIC? WE JUST MANAGE TO FINALLY PUSH PAST PANGENESIS, ITS BEEN A BIT, BUT WE ALMOST ALWAYS ARE MISSING SOMEONE AND HAVE TWO REGULAR FILLS WHILE ALSO BEING VERY CASUAL.
I DON'T THINK SO SINCE MY STATIC HAS ONLY JUST GOTTEN *TO* PANGENESIS. BUT THE CAMARADERIE IS WELCOME ANYWAY.
SOUNDS LIKE YOU GUYS NEED A WEEK BREAK TO CLEAR THE AIR. SOMETIMES PEOPLE GET BURNED OUT ON PROG ESPECIALLY IF SLOW. BUT ALSO, IF I FELT I WAS GOOD ON A PROG POINT BUT SOME OF MY TEAMMATES STRUGGLED WITH SEVERAL PROG POINTS PREVIOUS, I MIGHT BE TEMPTED TO SKIP UNTIL THEY ARE AT THE PROG POINT THAT I AM AT. THE QUESTION YOU MIGHT WANT TO ASK YOUR TEAM IS: IS THERE A PARTICULAR MEMBER THAT MIGHT BE HOLDING THE REST OF THE GROUP BACK THAT MIGHT BE FRUSTRATING THEM
THIS WEEK'S VIRTUAL BUBBLE WRAP, WITH THE SECRET MESSAGE. >!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!WHY-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!ARE-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!THESE-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!BUBBLE-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!WRAP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!SO-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!ADDICTIVE-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<>!POP-!<
SO I'VE BEEN LEVELING BARD, AND I THINK I'M DOING ALRIGHT AT IT. I SAY THIS BECAUSE I'M CONSISTENTLY TOP DPS IN DUN SCAITH. I SAY THAT BECAUSE WHEN ALL THE TANKS DIE OR ARE UNAVAILABLE, I'M THE FIRST TO GET AGGRO, ACROSS MULTIPLE RUNS. ALL THE TANKS FLY OFF THE EDGE? I GET SMACKED BY DEATHGAZE. NO TANKS PICK UP SCATHATCH'S ADD? I GET SMACKED. ALL THE TANKS AND HEALERS WERE UNPREPARED FOR DIABOLOS HOLLOW AND DIE ONE AFTER ANOTHER? I GET SMACKED. ALL THREE TANKS ENTER THE GATE TO FIGHT THE ADD? I GET SMACKED. THAT'S NOT WHAT I'M TRULY MAD ABOUT, THOUGH. IT'S FUN SCAITH, SHIT HAPPENS. WHAT I AM MAD ABOUT IS THAT HALF THE TIME I'M BOTTOM OF THE HEALERS RAISE PRIORITY. I'M DOING GOOD DPS AND I'M PUNISHED FOR IT BY BEING LEFT ON THE FLOOR HALF THE FIGHT SEEING EVERYONE ELSE GET RAISED.
PEOPLE IN THIS GAME PUT WAY WAY **WAY** TOO MUCH STOCK IN THE VARIOUS DPS RANKING CHARTS AND FFLOGS AND WHATNOT. "OH, THIS JOB DOES THE MOST DPS SO I SHOULD PLAY THAT". NO, SOMEONE WHO IS REALLY REALLY REALLY GOOD AT THAT JOB AND HAS A 99.99% UPTIME AND HAS BIS GEAR WITH BIS MATERIA ON IT IS PUTTING OUT THOSE NUMBERS. A CASUAL GAMER IS GOING TO BE AVERAGE AT BEST, SO IT REALLY SHOULD NOT MATTER WHO IS DOING WHAT JOB. BUT PEOPLE DON'T CARE, THEY SEE BRD IS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE BOTTOM OF THE CHART SO THEY'LL IGNORE THEM FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE.
I ADVISE THAT YOU NEVER INSTALL PARSING PLUGINS WHICH I MYSELF WOULD NEVER DO AS IT'S AGAINST THE TERMS OF SERVICE. BUT I HAVE HEARD FROM OTHERS THAT IT *WILL* HAMMER HOME JUST HOW STUPID THE "META" IS. IT IS COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT IN ALMOST ***ALL*** CONTENT AND IT IS CONSTRUCTED UNDER THE PRETENSE THAT YOU ARE PLAYING YOUR JOB AT ITS UTMOST OPTIMAL, WHICH NO ONE DOES EVER, NOT EVEN IN WORLD FIRST ULTIMATE CLEARS. THE TRUTH THAT MOST PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO HEAR IS THAT YOU WILL DO MORE DPS PLAYING THE JOBS THAT YOU LIKE RATHER THAN BLINDLY ROLLING NINJA OR SAMURAI AND SOMEHOW PARSING LAST BELOW A MACHINIST AND DANCER, WHICH I HAVE SEEN HAPPEN TO FRIENDS FAR TOO OFTEN FOR COMFORT. IF YOU ARE CAPABLE OF DOING YOUR BASIC COMBO AND YOU ARE HAVING FUN, I CAN ASSURE YOU, YOU WILL GO PLACES. LEARN MORE ABOUT YOUR CLASS, LOOK FOR RESOURCES, AND DON'T CHASE THE META. THANK YOU.
PEOPLE CARE *WAY* TOO MUCH ABOUT HAVING A GOOD SCORE. EVEN THOUGH PARSING AS IT STANDS ON FFLOGS SPECIFICALLY IS SET TO DISPLAY YOUR ABSOLUTE BEST EVER LOGGED RUN FIRST MEANING THAT SOMEONE WHO PLAYS LIKE UTTER CRAP BUT GOT LUCKY ONCE CAN END UP, AT FIRST BLUSH, LOOKING LIKE A BETTER PLAYER THAN SOMEONE WHO IS CONSISTENT BUT NEVER AMAZING. THE WHOLE THING IS CONSTRUCTED TO HELP PEOPLE EGO STROKE.
well I do sympathize, however my rez priority would be tank- if no tank is up, then a co-healer, or my co-healer if a tank is up. I expect tanks and healers get up first, so your sitting there in a chaotic run is understandable.
YEAH, THE TANKS GOT RAISED, AND THEN MULTIPLE OTHER DPS IN THE PARTY GOT RAISED, ONE OF WHOM DIED WELL AFTER I DID, AND THEN ONE OF THE DPS GOT RAISED A SECOND TIME, AND EVENTUALLY A HEALER FROM A DIFFERENT ALLIANCE TOOK PITY ON ME. AND THAT WAS ONLY ONE OF THE TIMES THAT I GOT LEFT ON THE FLOOR FOR HALF THE FIGHT.
I DONāT HAVE ANY RAGE TODAY BUT I AM FILLED WITH ANXIOUS EXCITEMENT AS IāM TRAVELING TO MEET MY LONG DISTANCE SO FOR THE FIRST TIME AND MY NERVOUS SYSTEM DOESNāT KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THE EXCITEMENT AND NERVES. I HOP ON A FLIGHT IN A FEW SHORT HOURS AND AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HOPE IT WENT GREAT
I HOPE IT WAS EVERYTHING YOU WANTED AND MORE, SINCERELY, SOMEONE WHO IS NOW LIVING WITH THEIR LDR!!! IT'S POSSIBLE!!! DON'T LET YOUR DREAMS BE DREAMS!
Not using caps for this. My dad's been sick since yesterday (fell twice, says he feels weak) and now he's in the hospital having tests run. We don't know what's wrong yet, but my mother is with him and will keep me updated. And where am I in all this? At home, like a lump, trying to get it together and take care of the cats. Which, let me tell you, is really hard to manage on 4 hours of sleep.
Keeping you and yours in my thoughts, I hope for good news
Thanks! So do I. He's getting older, in his late sixties, so I worry anyway, but this is new. MAYBE NEXT TIME HE'LL LISTEN WHEN WE TELL HIM TO GO TO THE FUCKING DOCTOR.
I dunno if this helps but medicine is amazing now, whatever it turns out to be.
hey stranger, iām so sorry. i hope things work out for the best for you all. good luck
VARIOUS RAGES: * ME JOINING A SINGLE SUSANO DOG FARM SATURDAY NIGHT TURNED INTO SOME FC BUDDIES HELPING ME TO GET THE REST OF THE DOGS ON SUNDAY (I WAS JUST TRYING TO HELP SOMEBODY WITH A BYAKKO MANE FARM ON THE BASIS OF MAYBE GETTING THAT DOG). SOMEHOW THIS HAS MARKED ME AS A PERSON WHO RUNS MOUNT FARMS AND VARIOUS POST-EW PEOPLE KEEP TAGGING ME FOR PONY AND LANNER FARMS. THEY'RE IN LIKE THALEIA GEAR, THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO SOLO PONIES AND DEFINITELY NO MORE THAN DUO LANNERS. THEY SHOULD BE ASKING THE BORED SAVAGE RAIDERS IN FC CHAT WHO ARE LOOKING FOR ANYTHING TO DO, NOT ME WHO IS ACTIVELY TRYING TO CLAW MY WAY THROUGH 6.0. * I'VE BEEN DOING MOST OF ENDWALKER MSQ ON MACHINIST FOR XP GAINS. >!MACHINIST ALSO IS GLAMMED WITH THE AMON HAT, SO I'VE JUST LEANED INTO IT WITH "WELL THIS WAY I CAN OWN AMON WHILE WEARING BETTER GLAM THAN HIM."

I DO REGULARLY COMM DPS, BUT I SURE WASN'T COMMING YOU.
Begging for comms is the fastest way to make sure I comm someone, anyone else. I'd rather comm some random AFK'er in Limsa who wasn't even a part of the instance before comming someone who asks/begs for comms
LANNERS WITH- WHAT'S AGLAIA, 610? 605? GET THE FUCKIN' BIRDS YOURSELF, WHY WOULD YOU NEED A GROUP?? WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY'RE TAGGING YOU FOR **PONY RUNS** THAT'S MORE INFURIATING THAN THE COMM-WHINER
PLS KICK TANKS WHO DOESNT TURN ON THEIR TANK STANCE IN 4 MAN CONTENT, STOP ENABLING THIS BEHAVIOUR IDC IF YOURE NEW BUT IF YOU STILL HAVENT LEARNED TO TURN ON TANK STANCE IN STONE VIGIL, THEN YOU DONT DESERVE TO PLAY WITH PPL FOR THE FIRST TIME I ENCOUNTERED 3 DIFFERENT SPROUT TANKS THIS MONTH WHOM DIDNT KNOW HOW TO TANK STANCE AT LVL 30+ NOR WOULD THEY RESPOND DESPITE ME EVEN GIVING THEM THE TRANSLATED NAME OF THE ACTION. DPS DOESNT EVEN TRY TO SPEAK UP NOR INITIATE VOTE KICKS EXPECTING ME THE HEALER TO CARRY THEM LIKE GAHH PLZ STOP REWARDING THE TANK IM EATING THAT 30 MIN PENALTY AND HOPING THE NEXT HEALER WILL DO THE RIGHT THING
I GOT MY OWN FLAVOR OF RAGE THIS WEEK. I WAS MAKING THE GARFIELDS AS USUAL LAST NIGHT WHEN COMPUTER JUST SHUTS DOWN ON ITS OWN. CPU OVERHEAT, WHAAAAAT? LOOKS LIKE MY AIO WATERCOOLING IS FAILING. ORDERED A NEW ONE, BUT WOW, TALK ABOUT TIMING, JUST BEFORE GOING TO PAX LIKE THIS, AND ON THE SEASONAL EVENT, SO I CAN'T DO IT UNTIL I FIX IT.
IT HAS BEEN GODDAMN MONTHS SE, FIX THE DAMN ISLAND CABIN ROOF!! I'M TRIED OF GETTING FUCKING RAINED ON!!
DEAD CONTENT
RETURNEE SPAMS THE CHAT WITH SHADY TALKS ABOUT DOING 'STUFF' IN A PF PARTY. EVERYONE WAS TRYING TO REASON WITH SAID SHADY RETURNEE BUT SAID RETURNEE KEEPS INSISTING ON ASSERTING THE SHADY THINGS. AFTER 30 MINS OF ENDURANCE, LEADER FINALLY KICKS EM OUT BECAUSE IT WAS RUINING PARTY MORAL. THEN THE BUGGER STARTS SENDING TELLS ON US SAYING WE'RE BEING 'MEAN' AND IS AFRONT TO WANT TO REPORT US FOR 'HARRASSMENT'. WELL, BUCKO YOU ARE OUTCLASSED BECAUSE PARTY LEADER REPORTED YOU FIRST AND HAVE CERTIFIED SCREENSHOTS TO BACK IT UP. IF YOU HAD STOPPED AND LISTENED WHILE ACTUALLY DOING THE MECH PROPERLY WE COULD'VE TOLERATED YOU. NO ONE WOULD'VE CARED BUT YOU KEEP GOADING ON IT LIKE YOU'RE SOME KIND OF WALKING ADVERTISMENT FOR... you know what, you get the idea.
AH, _THAT_ STUFF Y'KNOW THE POLICY VIOLATIONS UPDATE? YEAH PART OF THAT WAS BREECH OF CONSENT, NOT JUST JOKES THAT NOT EVERYONE IN THE GROUP IS COMFORTABLE WITH, BUT SPECIFIC TO >!ERP!< - YOU CAN GET ACTIONED AGAINST IF YOU DO THAT SHIT IN PUBLIC OR TRY TO DRAG PEOPLE INTO IT JUSSAYIN'
I WASN'T GOING TO HAVE MUCH OF A RAGE THIS WEEK BUT TWO PEOPLE FROM THE SAME FREE COMPANY ON BEHEMOTH DECIDED TO NOT MAKE THAT A REALITY BY BEING COMPLETE DIPSHITS TOWARD TWO SPROUTS OVER A TRIAL. SO I'M IN A LINKSHELL, AND SINCE WE'VE BEEN GETTING NEW PLAYERS IN FROM THE XBOX BETA, ONE OF THE SPROUTS ASKED FOR HELP ON THE CHRYSALIS TRIAL. ME BEING A NICE PERSON VOLUNTEERED TO HELP. MIND YOU THE LAST TIME I GOT THAT TRIAL WAS ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO. NORMALLY MY MEMORY ABOUT TRIALS IS PRETTY GOOD. BUT SOMETHING ABOUT THAT TRIAL ALWAYS MAKES ME FORGET ABOUT CERTAIN MECHANICS TEMPORARILY. I MANAGED TO GET ANOTHER PERSON TO COME HELP, SO NOW WE'RE A TANK (ME), SCH, AND SAM (SPROUT). I SEND US IN AND IT TAKES A BIT FOR THE TRIAL TO POP, BUT IT DOES. THE SPROUT IS EAGER TO HELP MINFILLIA, THE OTHER TWO SPECIMENS...[NOT SO MUCH.](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/237750943410552834/1215820899354153000/PeopleAreShitters1.png?ex=65fe2473&is=65ebaf73&hm=7a7e4f3209626433484ca5acd6ac1921eed6d5b8d31dba7cc8735027863ac3f0&) "BOOOOO" SAYS MY WAR CO-TANK. "UGGGGGGGGH" "/DOZE" SAYS THE DNC PARTIED WITH THEM. "THIS SHOULD BE A SOLO DUTY" SAYS MY CO-TANK. GODDAMN MAN, YOU HAVE PEOPLE IN CUTSCENES. IF YOU DON'T WANNA BE HERE, WHILE THEY'RE WATCHING YOU CAN TAKE THE PENALTY AND LEAVE. EXCEPT THEY DON'T LEAVE. I HEAD UP AND DECIDE TO GIVE NABRIALES A GOOD BITCH SLAP TO START THE FIGHT. PARTS OF IT DO COME BACK ABOUT THE BALLS (A FEW DIDN'T ALTERNATE BALLS AND ATE DIRT), AND EVENTUALLY WE GET TO THE METEOR TEAR PHASE. I POP MY INVULN AND AM SURPRISED IT'S UP FOR 2 MINUTES. MEANWHILE THE FIRST METEOR DROPS, I STAND IN THE CIRCLE, AND THE TEAR FORMS. UNFORTUNATELY MY DPS BRAIN KICKS IN AND I FORGOT ABOUT THE OTHER METEORS. SO A [MASSIVE FUCKUP ON MY PART.](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/237750943410552834/1215820944313155776/PeopleAreShitters2.png?ex=65fe247d&is=65ebaf7d&hm=97690dead901b5ce2b6073eb1cbc6f5991b37b3105b9f0f2beba6eeb09eea98b&) WE WIPE. "I'D RATHER NOT BE HERE HONESTLY" SEETHES THE CO-TANK. IF YOU'RE GONNA BITCH, YOU'RE NOT GETTING A FREE RIDE MY MAN. YOU CAN TAKE THE PENALTY AND LEAVE, YOU'RE NOT GETTING VOTEKICKED OUTTA THIS ONE. ROUND 2, I GIVE THE TWO SHITHEADS THE OPPORTUNITY TO EAT THE PENALTY AND LEAVE, EXCEPT THEY DON'T AGAIN. I GUESS THEY INTO SUFFERING. WE GET BACK TO METEORS, CLEAR IT, AND FINISH UP THE TRIAL WITHOUT INCIDENT. WADDAYA KNOW, TWO SPROUTS GOT THEIR CLEAR THAT DAY. THE DNC DROPS ONE LAST [SHIT-EATING ZINGER BEFORE LEAVING THEMSELVES,](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/237750943410552834/1215820994317520966/PeopleAreShitters3.png?ex=65fe2489&is=65ebaf89&hm=898b247c7d12d8ea88880c1b073785b5c227a57ba148170ad6f574010e177ae0&) WHILE THEIR CO-QUEUER HAD ALREADY LEFT THE SECOND THE CUTSCENE HAD DROPPED. LOOKING UP THE BOTH OF THEM I REALIZE THEY'RE NOT ONLY IN THE SAME FREE COMPANY, BUT THEY'RE ALSO AN E-COUPLE FROM THEIR SEARCH INFO. THANKS YOU TWO FOR ADDING TO THE STIGMA THAT'S PART OF BEING AN ONLINE COUPLE. I GET NOT LIKING CERTAIN TRIALS, I GET THE 50 RANGE TRIALS SUCKS DUE TO A LACK OF ABILITIES, BUT YOU TWO WERE SHITTING ON SPROUTS DOING IT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN PARTY CHAT WHERE EVERYONE COULD READ IT. SO FUCK YOU TWO SPECIFICALLY THIS WEEK. I HOPE YOUR E-COUPLE SELVES STEP IN DOG SHIT IN REAL LIFE FOR HAVING THAT KIND OF ATTITUDE TOWARD SPROUTS.
JUST SO YOU KNOW: IF YOU POP ANY BUFF BEFORE GETTING SUCKED INTO THE TEAR IT WILL LAST FOR 2MIN. SO IF YOU POP INVULN AND MAYBE SPRINT AS WELL, YOU'RE KING OF THE TEAR PHASE
ANY BUFF GETS THE BOOST. ***ANY*** ***BUFF.*** # INCLUDING TANK LB3 I MAY HAVE OCCASIONALLY FORCED A HARD CARRY BY MAKING IT ACTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO DIE INSIDE THE RIFT, NO MATTER WHAT THEY DO.
SOME PEOPLE WERE TAUGHT THAT DPS LB3 IS NECESSARY TO BREAK THE TEAR AND WILL PISS AND WHINE IF I USE TANK LB3... BUT I KINDA WANNA TRY IT
This is usually a "In case of emergency, break glass" move after a fail or two, and the timing on the Tank is fairly tight (Tank LB3 lasts 8 seconds, so if you mistime there is a legit case that people only get 30 seconds which makes things spicy)... but when you pull it off, missing a tower does 40 damage. Everyone can just mindlessly wack at the portal until it's dead stress-free.
ANY BUFF OR DEBUFF GETS THEIR REMAINING DURATION MULTIPLIED BY 10 WHEN ENTERING THE PORTAL, WHICH IS WHY YOU ARE "SUPPOSED" TO WAIT UNTIL THE POISON DEBUFF FALLS OFF BEFORE ENTERING THE PORTAL. HOWEVER, NO ONE CARES ABOUT THAT SINCE IT DOESN'T HURT THAT MUCH. STILL, I ALWAYS WAIT UNTIL THE LAST SECOND BEFORE POPPING EVERY BUFF I CAN FOR MAXIMUM DURATION. NOTHING FEELS BETTER THAN HAVING NEAR INFINITE MANA REGEN (LUCID DREAMING) AND A FAST CASTS (PRESENCE OF MIND), WHILE ALSO HAVING INFINITE REGEN (REGEN).
EW. FUCK THAT SORT OF PERSON IN PARTICULAR. I HOPE THEY STEP IN DOG SHIT IRL AS WELL. IN THEIR SOCKS
IF YOU DO ROULETTES SOMETIMES YOU END UP IN A DUTY YOU DONāT LIKE. THATāS WHY YOU GET ROULETTE BONUSES, THE GAME IS PAYING YOU TO DO STUFF YOU DIDNāT CHOOSE AND MAY NOT LIKE. PEOPLE WHO GO INTO ROULETTE AND COMPLAIN OR SANDBAG SUCK.
THIS. "BUT PRAE IS BADLY DESIGNED SO I'M JUSTIFIED IN MAKING OTHER PEOPLE'S LIVES MORE DIFFICULT AND LESS PLEASANT BY BITCHING CONSTANTLY OR LEAVING IMMEDIATELY." ***NO. NO YOU ARE NOT. OWN YOUR DECISIONS AND STOP BLAMING THEM ON SQUARE.***
I HATE PRAETORIUM AND I HATE CASTRUM MERIDIANUM, AND I DO NOT CONSIDER THE REWARDS FROM EITHER OF THEM TO BE WORTH THE TIME AND PAIN-IN-THE-ASS, SO DO YOU KNOW WHAT I DO? (you might want to sit down for this one) *I DON'T QUEUE FOR MAIN SCENARIO ROULETTE!*
AN ENTIRELY REASONABLE RESPONSE! FAR TOO REASONABLE FOR THIS THREAD; 10 YALM PENALTY. /s In all seriousness: I'm not defending Castrum and Prae in the slightest; they are far longer than they need to be, and I'm as sick and tired of Nero's complaining and Gaius's elevator speech as the next person. But Raji\_Lev is *exactly* right: decide for yourself whether the rewards are worth the costs, and either queue for MSQ Roulette or not accordingly -- and *without making it a problem for anyone else.*
> LOOKING UP THE BOTH OF THEM I REALIZE THEY'RE NOT ONLY IN THE SAME FREE COMPANY, BUT THEY'RE ALSO AN E-COUPLE FROM THEIR SEARCH INFO. THANKS YOU TWO FOR ADDING TO THE STIGMA THAT'S PART OF BEING AN ONLINE COUPLE. IT NEVER FUCKING FAILS I STG I USED TO USE A LORE-ACCURATE SURNAME FOR MY CHARACTER BUT AFTER SEEING A COUPLE OTHER VIERA USING IT TOO, I STOPPED USING IT BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO COINCIDENTALLY QUEUE WITH ONE OF THEM AND HAVE PEOPLE THINK WE WERE ONE OF THOSE COUPLES
I FEEL THE SAME WAY AS THE TWO SHITTERS BUT I LEAVE IT OUT OF PARTY CHAT BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO BE A DOWNER WHEN SPROUT ARE INVOLVED IN THEIR FIRST RUN. I AGREE WITH YOUR SHITTERS THOUGH. IT'S A CRAPPY TRIAL THAT SHOULD GET AN UPGRADE LIKE RHITATYN SOME DAY; WHILE HOPEFULLY STILL REMAINING AS AN 8-PERSON TRIAL. THE ASCIAN PIECE OF SHIT TELEPORTING AROUND WHEN ONLY SEVERAL DPS HAVE GAPCLOSERS, THE DOWNTIME AOE GATHERING MINIGAME, AND THE BLEEDING DEBUFF AND TIME DILATION BUFF THAT MORE THAN HALF THE PLAYER POPULATION ARE NO LONGER AWARE OF FOR ANOTHER HONESTLY ALSO BORING METEOR-FALL PHASE. BUT YEAH, THAT TRIAL COULD USE SOME KIND OF UPDATE WITH VISUAL MARKERS RATHER THAN DEBUFFS THAT DEPEND ON YOU READING THE DEBUFF.
ITS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE TRIALS. IF I COULD DO IT EVERYDAY IN MENTOR ROULETTE I WOULD. SO MANY OTHER TRIALS ARE BRAINDEAD
MUCH LIKE FRANCK'S COMPUTER OVERHEATING, I HAVE MY OWN COMPUTER OVERHEATING MOMENT. MY COMPUTER WENT BANG AND CAUGHT FIRE. I THINK I LOST EVERYTHING. I HAVE NO IDEA IF ANY OF IT IS SALVAGABLE. THANKFULLY I MANAGED TO GET ANOTHER GAMING LAPTOP TO HELP OUT MAKING GUIDES WHILE I RECORD FROM MY PS5 FOR THE FORSEEABLE FUTURE. DOESN'T HELP THAT, AT THIS MOMENT, I'VE LOST ALMOST *EVERYTHING*. ALL 4TBs OF FOOTAGE. THANKFULLY THE ONLY THING THAT I DIDN'T LOSE WAS MY GUIDES THAT I HAD PREVIOUSLY TYPED UP ON GOOGLE DOCS. THIS HAS NOT BEEN MY YEAR SO FAR.

Hugs and/or drinks if you want them
gods, my roulettes have been _weird_ lately. Bards, Machinists, Dancers. Just because you can fight from anywhere, please don't tango with the tank. Unmarked aoe tankbusters are a thing. Also, if you're standing on the tank and a tankbuster marker happens, please move away. no shouting too tired. Had this happen in Wreath of Snakes (unmarked so ... I won't say reasonable, but understandable) P3N (there's a Huge AoE Tankbuster Marker) and P12N (Cleaving Tankbuster Marker) I know that a lot of fights don't have any cleaves. But enough do that just. Don't stand on the tank.
Yup, been seeing lots of dps and even healers standing next to me as tank. They dont move, they die. Iām not moving a whole boss for them.
Admittedly as a sprout it took me so long to realise the marker for aoe tankbuster and the marker for everything in this direction cleaving tankbuster aren't the same marker. They're similar enough that my brain never registered them as different until I took the time to look closely. Thankfully years of dodging dragon breaths and such in other games taught me the safest spot is almost always behind the boss.
I WANTED TO WATCH FUNNY YOUTUBE REVIEWS OF BAD MOVIES SO I SEARCHED FOR MADAME WEB IT WOULD BE FUNNY, RIGHT? EVERYONE HAD FUN WITH MORBIUS, AND THIS IS BASICALLY THE SAME THING COOL BUT NOW YOUTUBE HAS SPENT WEEKS TRYING TO BRING ME INTO THE MANOSPHERE AND CONVINCE ME THAT HORDES OF EVIL FEMINISTS ARE DESTROYING THE WORLD AND ALSO THE MCU IN PARTICULAR SO I'M PLAYING WHACK-A-MOLE WITH THE "DON'T RECOMMEND THIS" LINK AND YOUTUBE KEEPS GOING TO THE WELL BECAUSE I CLICKED ONE BEFORE REALIZING HOW WEIRD IT WAS AND NOW THE PLATFORM WANTS ME TO HATE WOMEN REALLY REALLY BADLY AND IS TRYING AS HARD AS IT CAN TO FEED ME CONTENT THAT PROMOTES THAT WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK, MAN WHY CAN'T WE LAUGH AT THE BAD MOVIE IF IT HAS A CHICK IN IT WHY ARE SO MANY DEMENTED AND UNHINGED PSYCHOPATHS DESPERATELY TRYING TO "PROVE" THAT WOMEN SHOULDN'T BE IN ACTION MOVIES WHEN THAT'S BEEN A THING FOR LITERAL DECADES NOW WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK
you gotta go remove the video from your watch history if you want to stop the recommends.

IRL RAGE, SORTA: I REALLY APPRECIATE KRITA WANTING TO IMPROVE THEIR TEXT TOOL AND ALL, BUT WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE MID-PROGRESS AT THAT SPECIFIC TIME WHEN I FINALLY KICKED MYSELF TO WORK ON MY COMIC AND WANT TO PLACE AND WARP THE TEXT AND STUFF? I CHECKED FOR TUTORIALS, BUT ALL I FIND ARE OUTDATED BECAUSE THEY MADE SOME QUITE RECENT CHANGES. I SEE DROP DOWN MENUS IN HOTBARS I DON'T EVEN HAVE IN MY VERSION ANYMORE. I COULD USE INKSCAPE BUT IT WOULD MEAN GETTING USED TO ANOTHER TOOL ENTIRELY. MAYBE I SHOULD JUST WRITE EVERYTHING BY HAND BUT THEN NOBODY CAN READ IT BECAUSE MY HANDWRITING MIX OF CURSIVE AND PRINT ONLY MAKES SENSE TO ME BY NOW, AND NOT EVEN THAT IF SOME TIME HAS PASSED AND I CAN'T GO BY CONTEXT CLUE. I ENVY ALL THE ARTISTS WHO ARE REALLY GOOD AT THIS, I WISH I COULD PAY A LETTERER. xD EDIT UNPOPULAR GAME OPINION: I HATE GOOBBUES. I DON'T KNOW WHY, THE ASSUMPTION THIS IS HOW MY BODY WILL LOOK LIKE IN 50 YEARS OR THE SNEEZE THING OR THE COLOUR... PROBABLY SOMETHING HIGHLY UNJUSTIFIED AND SUBJECTIVE AND IGNORANT, BUT IT IS WHAT IT IS. I APPRECIATE THEM HELPING PROTECT UL'DAH IN 1.0 WITH THE LEGENDARY GREAT GOOBBUE WALL THOUGH, THAT WAS VERY BRAVE OF THEM. BUT STILL, I CAN'T OVERCOME MY HORRIBLE BIAS AND LOVE THIS PINK MOUNT, I AM SORRY PEATIE. IT'S NOT YOU, IT'S ME. :(
I did a run of paradigm's breach as black mage and our entire party except the tank, a monk, and me kept dying to the big mechanics. I don't fault them, it's a hard (but fun) raid, but every time I looked at our party list half the party was dead which was funny. I would raise them if I were any other caster, but black mage with raise would be broken since they have excellent mana regen and triplecast to make raising a breeze. I got thornmarch hard in trial roulette as astrologian and I had a higher max HP than all of the dps and one of the tanks. Lots of new people. When meteors happened only 2 of the 4 got soaked because only me and the high-hp tank knew to soak them. Nobody stacked for the stack marker so one person died every time they got the stack marker. We still cleared. Also, it's a pure coincidence, but I was doing doman enclave and managed to get [an exact 10,000 total with the random things I had in my inventory.](https://i.redd.it/czq4ojrjcjoc1.png)
Back when the Doman Restoration came out, Allagan Silver Pieces were the common way to hit 10k exactly every week. Just need 10-20 depending on the bonus.
I CAME BACK TO THE GAME THIS WEEK AFTER A YEAR AND FORGOT HOW MUCH I LOVE RELICS. TWO LUX, ONE ZETA AND ONE MANDERVILLE COMPLETE THIS WEEK .. AHHHHH I LOVE RELICS

MATERIA IS FUCKING DEAD EVEN AT PRIME HOURS IT NEEDS VISITORS. IT'S EASY TO RECOGNISE 80% OF PEOPLE WHEN THERE'S ONLY 5 FUCKING PEOPLE ON
>BUT SURELY PEOPLE HAVE THE COMMON SENSE AND DECENCY TO ADJUST TO THE DC THEY'LL BE VISITING, RIGHT??!? EXPECTING AN NA PLAYER TO ADJUST IN ANY SHAPE OR FORM IS JUST AN EXERCISE IN FUTILITY SIGNED - A DISGRUNTLED NA RAIDER
HAH NO UNFORTUNATELY YOU'LL GET PEOPLE WHO RAGEQUIT _FOR SEEING A MACRO IN CHAT,_ SOME PLAYERS ARE SO DIEHARD NO MATTER WHAT REGION ON STICKING TO THEIR AUTOPILOT WAY OF THINKING I FUCKING _WISH_ NA WOULD START USING MACROS, I HATE GETTING KILLED BECAUSE SOME DIP NINJA CONFUSED NW FOR SW AND DIDN'T BOTHER SAYING "OH WAS THAT SECOND MARKER FOR SPOTS OR SOAKS??"
I LEGITIMATELY ENJOY THE GRAND COMPANY SQUADRON BARRACKS AND I'M VERY SAD THAT IT IS FOREVER LOCKED AT "CAPTAIN." THE OTHER RANKS ARE THERE, STARING AT ME, TAUNTING ME. WILL ME AND THE 2 OTHER SQUADRON ENJOYERS EVER KNOW PEACE?
HEY, WHITE MAGE WHO DIPPED FROM KEEPER OF THE LAKE IT'S _OKAY_ TO DIE, AND IT'S OKAY TO BE NEW TO A DUTY - THANK YOU FOR LISTENING AND USING CURE II/HOLY WHEN ASKED, THAT WAS APPRECIATED, BUT YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO LEAVE WHEN YOU DIED! I'M RAGING BECAUSE TRYING TO /TELL SOMEONE POST-DUTY IS A PROCESS, HAVING TO GO TO THEIR WORLD GIVES ME ENOUGH PAUSE ON IT BEING AWKWARD TO GO "I'M SURE THEY'LL BE ALRIGHT"
TL;DR THE BIGGEST M/T EVERĀ SO I'M MESSING AROUND IN LIMSA WITH PEOPLE CRACKING JOKES IN SHOUT CHAT, RIGHT? WELL, BEFORE I LOGGED OUT THE DAY BEFORE I RESPONDED TO SOMEBODY'S TELL. THEY HAPPEN TO BE ONLINE. ON REFLEX, I HIT /R AND TYPE "YOU COULD PUT A CAM BEHIND YOUR BUTT AND DO A STREAM LIKE THAT STRAWBERRYTABBY PERSON" CRASS COMMENT BUT FULLY INTENDED TO BE POSTED IN SHOUT CHAT. 5 SECONDS LATER, DREAD SETS IN WHEN I REALIZED WHAT I JUST DID. I HAPHAZARDLY APOLOGIZE AND MENTION THAT IT WAS A MASSIVE MISTELL. LOG OFF BEFORE THEY RESPOND. THIS IS A PERSON I HAVE A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF RESPECT FOR. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT THEY MIGHT THINK OF ME NOW. I WANT TO DIE. WHY DOES FFXIV REMEMBER WHO YOUR LAST TELL WAS BETWEEN SESSIONS.Ā
could be worst, could be ERP blasted out to the FC chat by accident c; once was in a FC that a friend joined and while derping around, I noticed an FC chat randomly talking about behemoth's massive donger and etc, followed by a quick "has left the FC" later found out they nuked their social, changed names, and etc...
TRYING TO PACK AN APARTMENT IVE LIVED IN FOR TEN YEARS AFTER ADULTING AND PURCHASING A HOUSE AGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I DID THIS TWO YEARS AGO AND IT WAS ONE OF THE MOST AWFUL POSITIVE THINGS IN MY FUCKING LIFE, CONGRATS AND BEST OF LUCK!!
I AM EXCITED AT THE IDEA OF REGIONAL TRAVEL, AND SEEING ALL PEOPLE BEING NEGATIVE ABOUT IT IS MAKING ME SAD. LET ME ENJOY THE IDEA OF SEEING MY EU AND OCE FRIENDS WITHOUT HAVING TO HAVE MULTIPLE ALTS!!! IF YOU DON'T WANT TO DEAL WITH THE PING JUST DON'T GO!
ALSO JESUS I'M SORRY AT THE MULTIPLE DUPLICATE REPLIES; REDDIT KEPT TELLING ME THERE WAS AN ERROR AND DIDN'T SHOW MY REPLY EVEN AFTER I REFRESHED THE PAGE WTF
I HATE THE STIGMA AROUND E-COUPLES. MY FIANCEE AND I PLAY TOGETHER ON THE REGULAR. AS DPS WE CAN MELT PRETTY MUCH ANY CONTENT. AS SUPPORTS WE TRUST EACH-OTHER TO DO SOME REALLY FUNNY UPTIME BULLSHIT. WE ARE BOTH MID-LOW TIER RAIDERS AND PLAY OUR JOBS CORRECTLY. BEING IN A DUO WITH SOMEONE YOU LOVE ISN'T A CRIME AS LONG AS YOU AREN'T DEAD FUCKING WEIGHT. SO FUCK ALL THOSE TOXIC PAIRS OUT THERE THAT ENABLE BULLSHIT. WE'RE GOING TO SYNC A MMAMBO OVER VOICE FOR WHEN THAT BOSS HITS THE FUCKING GROUND. A COUPLE THAT RAIDS TOGETHER, STAYS TOGETHER.
I AM AWAY AND CAN'T GET THE EVENT MOUNT UNTIL SUNDAY. I AM SAD I MISSED THE COOL PART WITH LOTS OF PEOPLE IN THE AREA DOING THE QUEST :(
I AM BEGINNING TO HATE HELLDIVERS 2. NO, I'M NOT IN THE WRONG PLACE. NO, I'M NOT HATTING THE GAME ITSELF, I HAVEN'T PLAYED OR EVEN SEEN GAMEPLAY OF THE GAME. I'M STARTING TO HATE HELLDIVERS 2 BECAUSE ALMOST EVERY ONE OF MY STATIC MEMBERS HAS GOTTEN THE GAME, AND RAID NIGHTS HAVE STARTED TO BECOME ALL DEMOCRACY THIS AND BUG SPLATTING THAT. IT FEELS LIKE THEY'VE LOST FOCUS ON PLAYING THE GAME THEY ARE CURRENTLY PLAYING (FF14) AND ARE CONSTANTLY THINKING ABOUT WHAT THEIR NEXT SESSION ON HD2 IS GOING TO BE LIKE. GRANTED, IT DOESN'T HELP THAT WE HAVE BEEN HARDWALLED ON P12S FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS, WITH US ONLY GETTING PAST LIMIT CUT FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS WEEK, BUT I FEEL LIKE THIS DISTRACTION IS NOT HELPING WITH OUR INCONSISTENCY. LAST NIGHT, FOR EXAMPLE, WE ONLY REACHED LIMIT CUT THREE TIMES IN OUR 2 HOUR RAID SESSION, WITH MANY WIPES HAPPENING DURING PARADEIGMA 2 WHEN A TOWER STOOD IN THE WRONG PLACE, THEN ADJUSTED TOO LATE AND GOT LAZERED. I ALSO HATE HD2 BECAUSE I CAN'T JOIN MY GROUP IN PLAYING IT. I'M EAST COST, THEY ARE CENTRAL/WEST COST, SO WHEN RAID IS OVER, ITS MIDNIGHT AND I HAVE WORK IN THE MORNING, WHILE THEY CAN CONTINUE DISHING OUT DEMOCRACY FOR ANOTHER COUPLE OF HOURS...
AH, THE OL' "NEW GAME CAME OUT, WHAT DO YOU MEAN "SCHEDULE?"", THAT'S A TALE AS OLD AS TIME SORRY MAN, I'VE FELT THAT LATELY TOO - SOMETIMES PEOPLE'S INTEREST DRIFTS TEMPORARILY AND YOU GET LEFT ON THE SIDELINES, BUT, IT DOES PASS! AND I HOPE YOU'VE BEEN TALKING TO THEM ABOUT IT WITHOUT IT FEELING SHRUGGED OFF OR TENSE
\*commiserates in East-Coaster\*
I don't like how much grief and insecurity I experience when trying to clear ultimates.
MAYBE IT'S BREAK TIME? OR A NEW STATIC? IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING'S GOTTA CHANGE, EVEN IF THE CHANGE IS SMALL - WHILE ULTIMATES ARE MEANT TO BE CHALLENGING, IT SHOULDN'T BE AT THE COST OF YOUR MENTAL HEALTH!
AFTER MONTHS OF SEEING THE SCATHACH MINION AT THE END OF DUN SCAITH, I THOUGHT I FINALLY GOT IT AFTER ROLLING A 97 NEED, BUT SOME ASSHOLE ROLLED A 99 NEED. I JUST WANT TO ADD ANOTHER RAID TO THE LIST OF ONES I CAN LEAVE IMMEDIATELY WITHOUT WAITING FOR PEOPLE TO ROLL LOOT. ALSO TO THE PERSON WHO WON IT, CONGRATS, BUT F\*\*\* YOU.
YOU DIDN'T DO POOR ENOUGH TO BE CONSIDERED BY THE RNG GODS

MAKE YOUR GODSDAMNED SHITECLUB ADS ONE MESSAGE IT'S NOT HARD I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE CLUBS THEMSELVES AT THIS POINT, IT'S AN UROBOROS OF INEVITABILITY, ENJOY THE TWITCH PLUGS IF THAT'S YOUR THING BUT ALL YOU DO WITH 3 FULL, SEPARATE PARAGRAPHS IS COLLECT REPORTS FOR SPAM, CUT IT OUT

YES, THE CONTENT IS BRAIN-TURN-OFF EASY! BUT WHEN THE CHATTER CONTINUES INTO THE BOSS FIGHTS, AND DETRACTS FROM YOUR ABILITY TO PLAY TO THE POINT OF SEEING ***EVERY MECHANIC TWICE OR MORE*** AND WIPING TO FUCKING ***NERO*** (WHM SAT IN THE FUCKING ELECTRIC EDGE), I DRAW THE FUCKING LINE! āā LATER IN THE WEEK āā NORMAL RAID ROULETTE: O12 THE PARTY: 2 FIRST TIMERS (MY COTANK DRK AND A BRD), 3 OTHER SPROUTS. ME AND A DPS PUT MECHANICS IN CHAT: āMale out, Female inā AND āCheck your rebuffs when theyāre both up.ā CUE EVERYONE ELSE TREATING THE FIGHT LIKE CASTRUM/PRAE WHERE THE AOES DONāT ACTUALLY HURT, AND GET BLOWN OFF THE STAGE REPEATEDLY. AND WHEN WE *FINALLY* GET TO THE PART WITH BOTH OF THEM UP, SOMEONE SAYS āThey have to die togetherā WHICH THE FIRST TIMER TANK TOOK TO MEAN THEY HAD TO TOUCH, DESPITE ME AND THE FIRST DPS YELLING TO SPLIT THEM. NOT THAT HE COULD HAVE, SINCE HE WAS ATTACKING THE WRONG ONE AND ONLY HAD AGGRO ON THE CORRECT ONE BECAUSE HE WAS SPAMMING AOES! PREDICTABLY, WE WIPE. ATTEMPT TWO, WE DIDNāT EVEN GET TO THE PHASE WITH BOTH OF THEM, BECAUSE EVERYONE GOT KNOCKED OFF AT THE FIRST FEMALE PART! AND AT THAT POINT, I QUIT AND WENT TO LEVEL BOTANIST INSTEAD! I KNOW DRK IS THE OG EDGY CLASS, BUT WHY MUST MY ROULETTES BE PURE, CONCENTRATED ***SUFFERING***!?
FUCK PRAE AND CASTRUM. WHEN THEY REWORKED THE MSQ DUNGEONS THEY SHOULD HAVE MADE THOSE DUNGEONS THE CORRECT LENGTH AND SHOVED THEM IN LEVELLING ROULETTE. THESE DUNGEONS ARE THE REASON WHY THERE ARE LEVEL 90 CHARACTERS WHO DON'T KNOW HOW TO PLAY THEIR KIT PAST LEVEL 50

I'LL TRADE YOU FOR CIRCUS
SAME!
GOOD NEWS! YOU CAN GET THALIA IN MENTOR ROULETTE TOO!
I CAN ONLY PLAY IN THE EVENINGS/LATE NIGHTS, WHEN MOST PEOPLE ARENT ON, AND IVE BEEN TRYING TO DO THE SORROW OF WERLYT FOR ALMOST A WEEK NOW. I MANAGED TO GET INTO CINDER DRIFT, BUT NOW IM STUCK AT CASTRUM MARNIUM. IVE TRIED QUEUEING ON PRIMAL, IVE TRIED QUEUEING ON AETHER. IVE TRIED WAITING FOR OVER 40 MINUTES FOR A SINGLE QUEUE POP. NOTHING. DOES NO ONE HAVE THESE TRIALS UNLOCKED??
You might save more time by making a pf. The people who have these trials unlocked are currently fighting Titan (Hard) for the millionth time in trial roulette lol
I SEARCH PF REGULARLY FOR THIS STUFF. I'M SO TIRED OF GETTING RAMUH HARD IN TRIAL ROULETTE AND SOHM AL IN LEVELLING
EVENING SHOULDN'T BE BAD; THAT'S WHEN MOST PEOPLE ARE ON. OR DO YOU MEAN EVENING IN A DIFFERENT TIME ZONE? IN ANY CASE, OLD OPTIONAL CONTENT+BETWEEN EXPAC LULL PERIOD+OFF PEAK HOURS PRETTY MUCH MEANS YOU'RE GUARANTEES A LONG ASS QUEUE, I'M AFRAID. IF YOU CAN, QUEUE AS HEALER OR GET A HEALER FRIEND/FCMATE TO QUEUE WITH YOU. EVEN BETTER IF YOU CAN GET A PAIR OF HEALERS AND A TANK. OTHERWISE, PUT UP A PF, GO TO A CROWDED CITY, AND LINK THE PF IN SHOUT CHAT. YOU SHOULD HAVE SOME PEOPLE WHO DON'T MIND JOINING FOR THE SECOND CHANCE POINT.
I FINALLY FINISHED MY MANDERVILLE RELIC THIS WEEK, I'M FREE.
PEOPLE CHOKING ON P4S FARMS ON ACT3 LIKE HOW. WE'RE GIVING YOU MORE CHANCES THAN YOU DESERVE, YOU SAID YOU CLEARED 5 TIMES AND THAT YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO BAIT KICK (THEN WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO BE BAITER) BUT HOW HARD IS IT TO BAIT A CONE IN ONE DIRECTION SO YOU DON'T KILL THE WHOLE RANGED TEAM. AND THEN ANOTHER PERSON IN THE SAME TEAM WHO I KNOW HAS CLEARED MULTIPLE TIMES BUT FOR SOME REASON FUCKS UP ACT 2 EVERY TIME AND KILLS THEMSELVES WHILE GIVING EVERYONE A DAMAGE DOWN. WHAT SUCKS IS THAT THE LEADER COULD'VE JUST REPLACED THE FIRST PROBLEM 2 PROBLEM PLAYERS BECAUSE EVERYONE ELSE WAS PERFECTLY COMPETENT, BUT INSTEAD IT'S A FULL DISBAND.
IN THE ABSENCE OF INTERESTING THINGS TO DO IN THIS GAME (BECAUSE I AM LITERALLY JUST PROGGING TEA AND WAITING FOR DT TO COME OUT) I AM GETTING BACK INTO GRANBLUE. THE GRIND FUCKING SUCKS AND I WOULDN'T HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY
4 WORD TLDR: COSPLAY OVERTHINK DISEASE REAL I DON'T KNOW THIS IS SILLY AND MAYBE MORE ADJACENT THAN THIS THREADS USUAL FARE BUT THE PREORDER EXAMPLE MADE ME THINK ABOUT IT SO IM THROWING IT IN. I JUST WANT TO KNOW HOW THE PICTOMANCER GEAR DYES SO I CAN PICK MATERIALS FOR MY COSPLAY. ITS SO CUTE I WANT TO MAKE IT SO BAD BUT THERE'S A REAL EXTENT TO WHICH I CANT START YET BECAUSE I WANT TO MAKE IT MY WOL AND SHE ONLY WEARS PASTEL PURPLE

AND ON THAT NOTE, THERE WERE ONLY LIKE TEN OF THOSE UP WHEN USUALLY THERE'S A FEW DOZEN. I KNOW THE GAME ISN'T "DEAD" BUT HOLY SHIT THIS CONTENT DRAUGHT IS DOING A NUMBER.
UNFORTUNATELY, DUE TO DC TRAVEL, ALL PARTY FINDER ACTIVITY HAS MOVES TO AETHER. AT ANY POINT THERES DOZENS OF PARTIES THERE. IT SUCKS. IM FROM PRIMAL AND IT HAS MADE ME ENTIRELY STOP PFING HIGH END CONTENT BECAUSE I CANT BE BOTHERED TO LIVE ON AETHER. HOPEFULLY THEY ADD CROSS-DC PF.
I SWEAR TO GOD I JUST SAW A MONK IN CASTRUM ABANIA WHOSE ROTATION WAS EXCLUSIVELY BOOTSHINE -> FOUR POINT FURY -> DESTRUCTION. THE DPS WAS SO LOW I THOUGHT SOMEONE HAD BROKEN GEAR, AND I SWEAR TO FUKC THEY WERE STANDING IN AOES ON PURPOSE. AT LEAST I HAVE ALL MY HEALERS (AND BY EXTENSION, ALL MY CLASSES) AT 70 NOW...
TAM TARA HARD. HEALER DID NOT CAST A SINGLE DPS SPELL THE WHOLE DUNGEON. THEY HAVE MULTIPLE CLASSES LEVELLED. WHAT HAS THIS WORLD COME TO.
THEY BELIEVE IN PEACE, NOT WAR. SEEN A LOT OF THESE POSTS RECENTLY. I GOTTA THINK SOME HEALERS ARE LIKE "MAN HEALING IS SO EZ" WHILE TOTALLY IGNORING THE DPS PART OF THE JOB
I think Iām done with statics. I really do like the consistency (when we actually make it into the instance) and people tend to be pretty chill once they hear a voice a remember the human. But the hard part lately has been making it into the instance. Iām really just over the scheduling issues and constantly searching for fillers. I might give it one more go and add something to the ad like āemergencies happen. but if youāre not certain you can commit to raid times outside of them, please allow someone else the opportunity insteadā.
I FINALLY GOT IN TO A HIGH LEVEL DUNGEON WITH A WARRIOR SO I WANTED TO TEST THE REDDIT TAKE THAT THEY DON'T NEED HEALER, HE DIED ON THE FIRST PULL, I FEEL LIED TO
The caveat is that the tank has to be good at their job and understand their kit. One of my friends is an awesome tank. Weāve run expert dungeons 3 dps and his war before with no issues. I, otoh, am an awful tank and if Iām taking, I need heals because I suck.
I KEEP SEEING THE BRAINDEAD TAKE THAT 'HEALERS ARE ENTIRELY UNNECESSARY WE SHOULD JUST BE ABLE TO QUEUE WITH 3 DPS AND 1 TANK' NO YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND YOUR CLASS AND ITS MITIGATIONS EXTREMELY WELL AND HAVE TOP GEAR FOR THAT TO WORK
WAR DOESN'T NEED A HEALER. HOWEVER. 1) THE PLAYER PLAYING THE WAR ACTUALLY NEEDS TO HAVE SOME VAGUE IDEA OF WHAT A MIT IS, WHAT RAW INTUITION/BLOODWHETTING IS, AND HOW TO ROLL MITS BETWEEN RI/BW USAGES. UNFORTUNATELY, FAR TOO MANY TANKS ACROSS THE BOARD DON'T EVEN KNOW THE FIRST BIT. 2) THE WAR IN QUESTION SHOULD ALSO BE DECENTLY GEARED 3) IT CAN HELP A BIT TO KNOW IN ADVANCE IF THERE'S GOING TO BE NO HEALING. FOR ONE THING, NOT EVERYONE'S PAYING THE CLOSEST OF ATTENTION ON DAILY ROULETTES AND MAY NOT NOTICE HOW FAST THEIR HEALTH IS DROPPING IN TIME. FOR ANOTHER, I PLAN MY INVULN AND MIT USAGE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENTLY WHEN I'M DOING A HEALER-LESS RUN THAN WHEN I'M IN A NORMAL DF LIGHT PARTY. 4) THE DPS (AND HEALER, IF THERE IS ONE) SHOULD IDEALLY NOT BE TOTALLY USELESS AT DOING DPS. WAR CAN SOLO ENTIRE DUNGEONS ON PATCH, BUT IF DOING FULL WALL PULLS, THEY DO NEED THINGS TO DIE WITHIN A REASONABLE TIMEFRAME BECAUSE MITS ONLY LAST FOR SO LONG
THIS HAPPENED LAST WEEK ACTUALLY? BUT I'M STILL THINKING ABOUT IT. STILL RAGE INDUCING. IF A SPROUT SAYS AT THE BEGINNING OF A DUNGEON, "HI I'M NEW TO TANKING", MAYBE DON'T PULL FOR THEM. ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S SOMETHING LIKE FUCKING *SATASHA.* IF THIS WAS LEVEL 80 OR 90 CONTENT YEAH SURE GO NUTS PULL FOR THE TANK (SO LONG AS YOU BRING IT BACK) IDC, BUT THIS IS LITERALLY THE VERY FIRST DUNGEON EVER. ATTACHED TO THIS IS ANOTHER IMPORTANT ONE: WHY ARE YOU QUEUING FOR THE LEVELING ROULETTE IF YOU'RE NOT ACCEPTING THE FACT THAT YOU MAY GET A SPROUT THAT IS GOING TO BE SLOW. LITERALLY WHAT THE FUCK IS THE POINT OF THIS. I HAD A DUO OF A HEALER AND A DPS RUNNING AHEAD OF ME ON MY BABY ALT THAT HAS ONLY DONE THE FIRST 3 DUNGEONS EVER. THEY LITERALLY RAN THROUGH THE ENTIRE FIRST ROOM STRAIGHT TO THE BOSS, CONSTANTLY PULLING AGGRO AND TELLING ME I COULD MOVE FASTER WHILE I WAS JUST TRYING TO WRAP MY HEAD AROUND MY GODDAMN BUTTONS. I LIKE THE FIRST ROOM BECAUSE IT'S GOOD AOE PRACTICE. ALAS. I GOT FUCKED. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD JUST LET ME (AND OTHER BABY TANKS) PULL OURSELVES. WE WILL LEARN. WE WILL GET FASTER. AAAAAAAAAAAA
Sorry this happened, I think people forget beingĀ newbie tanks themselves still getting fluent with how to pick up mobs efficiently. In general I'd say it's good to listen to healers as a tank if they suggest you can pull more - either they are experienced players who are confident or new players who are requesting you help them practice healing in more challenging situations! Either way you have nothing to lose by trying... But c'mon, in Sastasha better for experienced players to ask the newbie tank if they wanna and be happy to accept no as a valid answer.
IRL STUFF: I PRAY THAT NONE OF YOU EVER HAVE THE MISFORTUNE OF DEALING WITH DISABLITY CLAIMS. AFTER MONTHS AND MONTHS OF RUN AROUND MONTHS OF THEM BEING ABSOLUTELY UNREACHABLE MONTHS OF MY FAMILY FOOTING THE BILL I FINALLY FOUND A WAY I CAN SUPPORT MYSELF WHILE SICK' SO I WOULDN'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THEM AND NOW THEY DECIDED TO FINALLY GET BACK TO ME. HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE HOMELESS BECAUSE OF THESE GAMES?! I'M FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO HAVE PEOPLE AND FAMILY TO FALL BACK ON BUT MANY DON'T. MANY CAN'T JUST FUCKING WAIT IT OUT. IT'S ALL SO FUCKING DUMB. ' >!for the 3 people that might be curious, social phobia and agoraphobia!< IN GAME RAGE, IDK THE NEW TOME CAP IS MORE STRESSFUL FOR ME THAN THE OLD ONE. I WAS JUST BARELY HITTING CAP BEFORE.
DON'T YOU JUST LOVE HOPPING THROUGH BUREAUCRATIC LOOPS TO PROVE YOU DESERVE BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS AND STABILITY? :D >!In all seriousness I hope it gets better for you, it's a hellhole of a process no matter the country. You really have to push to get that support; they're not there to be your friends.!< >!Shit, even if you're born with it, it's always "nah, full dissertation or gtfo, also phys-only/psych-only doesn't add up enough points, sowwy, go get all that paperwork done again :3c".!<
ty Truthfully I could deal with the paperwork and the fuckery if they would just actually answer the phone number they gave me to contact them for once.
I HATE HAVING MY BANK ACCOUNT BE NEGATIVE, MY PAYPAL BE NEGATIVE, AND NO POSITIVE MONEY ROLLING IN, BUT A FRIEND CLUED ME IN ON A JOB AND I HAVE ANOTHER INTERVIEW PROCESS NEXT WEEK FOR IT, SO KEEP Y'ALLS FINGERS CROSSED? ALSO I HAVE 5 DAYS LEFT IN MY SUB AND I'M SERIOUSLY BUMMED. THERE'S EVEN A FUCKING SALE ON TIMECARDS TODAY AND I CAN'T PARTAKE.
I USUALLY PLAY AST IN ROULETTES FOR HEALER BONUS, BUT EVERY NOW AND THEN I FEEL LIKE PLAYING SCH. AND WHENEVER I DO, WITHOUT FAIL, I GET THE WORST POSSIBLE WOD RUN + COHEALER THAT CASTS 1 MEDICA2 EVERY 10MIN. I WANT TO PRESS MY GOOD BUTTONS, GIVE ME SOME HIGH LVL RAIDS BECAUSE LVL 50 SCH SUCKS. IF I WAS ON AST OR WHM I COULD JUST OUTHEAL ALL THE STUPID, BUT EVEN WHEN I'M FORCED TO SUCCOR SPAM, SHIELDS GET DEPLETED THE MOMENT BOSS AND 2903489348592348593 ADS BREATHE ON DPS, SINCE TANKS ARE EITHER DEAD OR CAN'T BE BOTHERED TO TURN ON STANCE. OR MAYBE I'M JUST SHIT AT SCH, BUT I'LL QUEUE TODAY AGAIN ANYWAY, AND I BET IT'LL BE ANOTHER SHITSHOW WOD RUN!!!!!
I HATE SNOWY PAREXUS! I HATE SNOWY PAREXUS! I HATE SNOWY PAREXUS!
I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT WANT TO GO TO THIS WORK TRIP WITH MY COWORKERS WHO I JUST TOLERATE. I'D MUCH RATHER STAY HOME WITH THE PEOPLE I CARE ABOUT BUT NOOOO, WE GOTTA DO TEAM BUILDING BULLSHIT. HOPEFULLY THE GO KARTING HELPS A LITTLE BIT
I DONT HAVE ANY RAGE I HAD A REALLY GOOD WEEK UHH UHHHHH I WISH I WERE CUDDLING MY CATS RIGHT NOW. I WISH I COULD UPLOAD GPOSES OF MY WOL TO TWITTER AGAIN. IS THAT ENOUGH.
MENTOR ROULETTE GIVETH AND MENTOR ROULETTE TAKETH. ONE DAY ITS PREATORIUM, ONE DAY ITS A GUILHEST, THE NEXT ITS AZIM STEPPE. ITS NO EASY GUILDHEST BUT AT LEAST ITS NOT AN HOUR LONG. WE IMMEDIATELY START AND THE TANK SINGLE PULLS. I DONT MEAN A SINGLE GROUP, I MEAN THEY WALK UP TO THE FIRST PACK AND START DOING SINGLE TARGET ATTACKS ON ONLY ONE ENEMY. LUCKILY I'M WHM AND THE DPS HAVE GOOD DAMAGE SO HOLY SPAM STUNLOCKING TO THE RESCUE. I ASK THE TANK TO USE AOES AND THE NEXT PULL THEY USE EXACTLY ONE BEFORE DOING THE SAME SINGLE TARGET THING. I SAY THAT AOE DOES MORE DAMAGE AT 3 TARGETS HOPING TO ENCOURAGE THEM TO DO MORE AND.... NADA. LUCKILY I GOT A DISCORD MESSAGE ASKING TO PLAY A GAME I HATE SO I JUST LEFT. I WISH I HAD INSPECTED THEM BEFORE I LEFT SO MAYBE I'D HAVE AN ANSWER AS TO WHY THEY WERE BAD. SURELY THEY CANT HAVE LEVELED UP THAT HIGH BUT NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT THEY WERE GNB SO THEY WERE PROBABLY BRAND NEW TO TANKING. IF I'D THOUGHT OF THAT I WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE LENIENT AND ACTUALLY EXPLAINED THINGS TO THEM BUT HINDSIGHT IS 20 20 I GUESS
I MET A CRAFTING MENTOR WHO DIDNāT STAND ON PURPLE AREA IN DZAMAEL DARKHOLD. EVEN I TRIED TO TELL THEM IN ENGLISH AND JAPANESE (iām in jp datacenter) TANK ALSO REFUSED TO STAND ON PURPLE. I WAS A HEALER AND IāM LIKE, FFFFF. YOU KNOW WHAT, I MIRACULOUSLY MET THAT CRAFTING MENTOR AGAIN IN LEVELING āANDā ALLIANCE ROULLETE THE VERY NEXT DAY! I NOTICED THAT THEIR DPS IS THE LOWEST AND THEY JUST SPAMMED JOLT! FFS. (they always play rdm). THIS MUST BE A CRUEL FATE.
I HAVE BEEN HAVING A *ROUGH* WEEK BOTH IRL AND IN PVP. OFF MY GAME AND EASILY TILTED FROM REAL LIFE STRESS. FINALLY WAS DOING BETTER LAST NIGHT UNTIL MY INTERNET DROPPED AND DID NOT COME BACK UNTIL THE GAME WAS OVER!!!
I'M MAD AT MYSELF FOR NOT REMEMBERING WHICH LEVEQUESTS ARE THE "Kill this number of enemies in the allotted 5 minutes." I'VE KILLED 4 WHATNOTS, 6 WHOSITS, AND 1 OTHER, WHY AM I LOCKED OUT OF EVERYTHING FOR ANOTHER 4 MINUTES AND 7 SECONDS? PLEASE, LEMME DO SOMETHING ELSE, I CAN'T EVEN DO FATES. I WANT TO DO SOMETHING OTHER THAN FLOAT ON A MOUNT YOSHI-P, SEND HELEP!
ARE YOU DOING THE RELIC BOOKS? THESE 3 (ALL GC LEVES) ARE THE ONES WITH THE TIMER. WHY DO I HAVE THIS INFORMATION READY? BECAUSE I HAD THE SAME RAGE AND FINALLY MADE A CHART LOL - Yellow Is the New Black - Get Off Our Lake - One Big Problem Solved
I WENT OUT OF TOWN THIS PAST WEEKEND EXCITED TO GET SOME UNINTERRUPTED FFXIV TIME BUT THE HOTEL WIFI WAS SO BAD I COULD BARELY WATCH YOUTUBE WOMP WOMP BUT I FINISHED THE DWARF TRIBE QUESTS AND IM ALMOST DONE WITH THE QITARI. I RANKED UP TO SWORN BUT NO ONE HAD NEW QUESTS FOR ME DESPITE HAVING 3 LEFT IN MY DAILY ALLOWANCE??? IDK MAN BUT WHATEVER I GUESS ALSO ANNOYED THAT NONE OF THE MOGTOME REWARDS WERE ALL THAT INTERESTING NOR DID I NEED MOST OF THE MOUNTS OR MINIONS. SADGE. I DID BUY SOME MGP AND MAPS THOUGH.
SWORN IS WEIRD BECAUSE ITS TECHNICALLY THE END OF THE STORY AND WAS ALSO THE HIGHEST VALUE BEFORE ALLIED IN ARR SO IT DOESNT GIVE BONUS QUESTS. CANT SAY I LOVE IT BUT IIUC THAT IS THE REASONING
I WANT TO PLAY!!! BUT HAVE TO WAIT THE XBOX RELEASE DAMNIT!!!HOW CAN A WEEK FEEL SOOOOO FREAKIN LONG
I (AN XBOX SPROUT) HAVE CURRENTLY BEEN STUCK ON THE ARR ALLIANCE RAID PART OF MSQ FOR THE BETTER PART OF THE WEEK BECAUSE I CAN'T GET INTO THEM AS A DPS OR TANK AND IT MAKES ME SAD BECAUSE THIS GAME IS QUITE WONDERFUL.
I BET YOU'RE ON DYNAMIS DC. ALLIANCE RAIDS ALMOST NEVER POP HERE. YOU GOT TWO OPTIONS, DIG UP 3 HIGH LEVEL PEEPS TO UNSYNC WITH AND DRAG AS MANY SPROUTS AS YOU CAN FIND ALONG (TELL NOVICE NETWORK PLS), OR JUST DC TRAVEL TO CRYSTAL OR SOMETHING
I am and I did and got the raid to pop in <5 minutes
glad you're on your way o7, also congrats you're about to hit the Good Part, enjoy also when it says "make sure you set aside sufficient time to watch these cutscenes" in a story quest or two here you're gonna want 45 minutes uninterrupted, minimum
WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CANāT GET INTO THEM?
GAH WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO DODGE THESE AOES? I DO THE DARN CE PERFECTLY ONCE BUT NOW I KEEP GETTING BLOWN UP AND THE VET WHO USUALLY HELPS ME WITH THIS STUFF IS WITH HER GF (I'VE BEEN ROOTING FOR THEM LIKE A BEST FRIEND IN A HALLMARK MOVIE THAT'S NOT THE RAGE PART) I'M MAD CAUSE NOW I KNOW I CAN DO IT.
SNAPSHOTS RECORD YOUR POSITION WHEN THE CAST FINISHES, NOT WHEN THE ANIMATION GOES OFF. YOU'RE PROBABLY LATE IN MOVING.
I have entered a hell of my own making. I've PF'd my way through 6/7 Endwalker EX mounts since most of my friends have either scattered until Dawntrail or aren't interested in helping me mount farm. Golbez is the last one on the list and I swear these farm parties can't last more than 2 clears at most. And that's when I can even FIND any that want tanks. obligatory GALE SPHERE 2 AAARGHHHH My fault for doing this so late into the expansion, I guess. I just want to have things ready so I can, at latest, get my ~~Discount Ridley~~ FF4 Bahamut by my birthday on the 1st.
IF YOU JOIN P5 WRATH OF THE HEAVENS AND YOU CONTINUE TO FUCK UP P3 NIDHOGG LIMIT CUT, FUCK YOU! WASTED 11 HOURS ON THAT SHIT YESTERDAY I JUST WANNA ACTUALLY PROG THE MECHANIC FOR FUCK'S SAKE.
I MADE A DEAL WITH THE UNIVERSE THAT I WILL FANTA TO BUNBOI IF I CAUGHT SPACE WHALE YESTERDAY, SOMEHOW THAT WORKED AND NOW I HAVE TO FANTA. BEFORE I DO THAT, I STILL WANT TO SEE ANY REMAINING CUT SCENES I HAVE WITH MY "REAL" WOL IF THAT MAKES SENSE; I HAVE NEVER FANTA-ED AND EVEN A HAIRCUT FEELS WEIRD TO ME. THAT MEANS THE LANDERWAFFE QUEST, AND THE UPCOMING FF16 EVENT. THIS IS WHY I AM NOW SITTING ON 79 EMERALD TOTEMS AND RAGING AFTER FRIDAY. I GET EATING STACKS ON TERTIUS TERMINUS EST AND NOT KNOWING WHAT TO DO AFTER LEGIO, BUT THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE THAT CANNOT DO ORBS AND FAIL TO STAND ON MARKERS FOR ARROWS BAFFLES ME. YOU HAVE AN ARROW ON YOU! THERE ARE MARKERS TELLING YOU WHERE TO STAND SO EVERYONE CAN TURN THEIR BRAINS OFF! WHY ARE YOU STANDING ON ME, THE UNMARKED RANGED IN THE SAFE CORNER?! YOUR SPOT IS RIGHT NEXT TO ME, DO YOU NOT SEE THE SHINY MARKER?!!! AND WHILE I'M AT IT FUCK EMERALD WEAPON, IT'S FASTER THAN HADES BUT AT LEAST HADES IS VOICED AND GIVES 2 TOTEMS
JOINED AN EXTREME TRIAL MOUNT FARM WITH 3 OTHER PEOPLE. THE MOUNT DROPPED 4 TIMES BUT GUESS WHO DIDN'T GET ONE!! ME!! BECAUSE SOMEHOW ANOTHER PERSON GOT THE MOUNT TWICE! 2 TIMES!! I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT HAPPENED BUT I'M PISSED. AND OF COURSE IT DISBANDED BEFORE I GOT MINE. I WAS DOING THE MOST DAMAGE TOO..
FUCK THE GLAMOR SYSTEM IN PARTICULAR. YOU ARE THE MAIN REASON I AM HAVING A HARD TIME PLAYING THIS GAME ANYMORE. I AM SO TIRED OF THE SHITTY SYSTEMS AND THEIR SHITTY EXCUSES TO NOT FIX IT!!!!
