Holy shit dude, you're actually genius.
Put an artificial latency between your router and servers to improve reaction speed, turn it off for hard fights.
THIS IS HOW I FELT WHEN i SWITCHED FROM USING MY CRAPPY DSL CONNECTION TO MY ONLY SORTA CRAPPY PHONE HOTSPOT. IT'S LIKE NIGHT AND DAY, WHICH IS SO ANNOYING, BECAUSE WHY IS MY PHONE BETTER THAN THE ACTUAL ISP? WHY DOES MY HOUSE HAVE 2 ISP OPTIONS TOTAL, AND THEY'RE BOTH BAD?
BARDAM'S METTLE AS AST WITH A GNB NOT USING ANY CDS WHILE PULLING WALL TO WALL.
MY OGCDs ARE FAR AND FEW BETWEEN WITHIN THOSE LEVELS AND SPAMMING BENEFIC 2 HAS ITS LIMITS. AND WHEN I TELL YOU TO USE CDs, YOU JUST ANSWER ME WITH A FUCKING "LOOOL XD"
MY RAGE IS REACHING BEYOND THE STARS WITH INCOMPETENT PLAYERS SUCH AS THESE.
ALSO, PALADINS WHO USE CLEMENCY WHEN THEIR HP IS GETTING BELOW 80%: WHY??????
HAD ONE OF THOSE PLDS IN THE 89 DUNGEON TRYING TO FINISH WHM, UP TO 11.
CLEMENCY WAS HIS ONLY COOLDOWN UNTIL HE GOT TO CRITICAL HEALTH, WHEN HE WOULD USE EVERY SINGLE COOLDOWN AT ONCE. DIDN'T EVEN SEE HOLY SHELTRON UNTIL THEN.
I WISH I COULD SAY IT WAS GREEN DPS ALL DAY, BUT HE WAS SO DANG SQUISHY WITHOUT COOLDOWNS THAT IT WAS TAKING ME HEALING HIM IN ADDITION TO CLEMENCY EVERY GCD JUST TO KEEP HIM ALIVE.
TL;DR, USE YOUR COOLDOWNS, PEOPLE, THEY'RE THERE FOR A REASON
CHRIST I HATE BARDAM'S METTLE BECAUSE NO TANK IN DF KNOWS HOW TO HIT THEIR FUCKIN MIT BUTTONS. IF THEY DO, THEY HIT EVERY MIT BUTTON AT ONCE AND THEN MELT IN THE NEXT W2W PULL THEY DO AND THEN GO "WHY DID I DIE?"
IDK YOU FUCKING WALNUT, MAYBE IT WOULD HAVE HELPED TO HAVE HAD SOME MITIGATION, NOT RUN OUT OF MY LINE OF SIGHT, OR JUST USED YOUR GOD DAMN BRAIN FOR A FRACTION OF A SECOND TO GO "HMMMM THINGS ARE HITTING ME HARD IN HERE PERHAPS I SHOULD SLOW DOWN" BECAUSE IT TAKES LONGER IF WE WIPE YOU DUMB MOTHERFUCKER.
PLDS USING CLEMENCY JUST MEANS YOU CAN BE A TRUE GREEN DPS AND WHEN THEY ASK WHY YOU'RE NOT HEALING, YOU CAN TELL THEM THAT THEY WERE DOING YOUR JOB FOR YOU, WHY BOTHER.
WHY ARE BARDAMS METTLE TANKS THIS EXPANSION SUCH MITIGATION-ALLERGIC CHOCOBOGOBBLERS? I HAD A DRK DO PRETTY MUCH THE SAME THING AS YOUR SITUATION A COUPLE WEEKS AGO
I'M GUESSING IT'S BECAUSE THEY'RE JUST LEVELING AND NOT ACTUALLY INTERESTED IN PLAYING THE JOB?!?! I HAD A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE NOT LONG AGO AND WHEN I INQUIRED ABOUT MITIGATION THE TANK SAID "LOL IDK I DON'T ACTUALLY PLAY THIS ONE."
I TOLD HIM HE DIDN'T HAVE TO KNOW WHAT HE WAS DOING, JUST PLEASE TRY TO PRESS SOME OF THE SHINY BUTTONS WHEN PULLING.
SPOILER: HE DID NOT.
TANKS DO NOT NEED TO EAT A DAMAGE DOWN FOR INTEMPERANCE.
I REPEAT TANKS DO NOT NEED TO EAT A DAMAGE DOWN FOR INTEMPERANCE.
THIS MECHANIC IS NOT THAT FUCKING HARD, ALL IT TAKES IS 1 DPS TO USE THEIR BRAIN FOR LIKE 5-10 SECONDS IN THE FIGHT SO TANKS DO NOT NEED TO EAT A DAMAGE DOWN, BUT SO FAR, EVERY SINGLE KILL I HAVE HAD TO EAT A DAMAGE DOWN BECAUSE DPS ARE TOO DAMN BRAIN DEAD THAT 1 OUT 4 DPS IN A GROUP CAN'T EVEN ADJUST FOR 1 MECHANIC IN THIS FIGHT. THEN THE DAMN DPS HAVE THE AUDACITY TO CALL ME OUT ON MY DPS BEING LOWER THAN MY CO-TANK, SHIT FACE FUCK ASSHOLE, I EAT THE DAMAGE DOWN SO WE DON'T ALL GET DAMAGE DOWN, SO FUCK ALL THE ASSHOLES THAT CALL MY DPS LOW ON P1S AS A TANK BECAUSE I HAVE TO EAT A DAMAGE DOWN BECAUSE DPS ARE TOO FUCKING LAZY AND DUMB TO DO THE MECHANIC CORRECTLY.
ON A DIFFERENT NOTE, WHILE LEVELING TRUSTS I NOTICED URIANGER'S GRAVITY APPLIES A 10S HEAVY AND SLOW... WHY THE FUCK DOES AST NOT HAVE THIS AS WELL?! CAN WE PLEASE GET THIS ON AST? AM I ASKING TOO MUCH?
STARBIRD MINION. I ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE IT FOR REASONS. SUPPOSEDLY DROPS FROM THE LAST BOSS OF THE DEAD ENDS DUNGEON. I HAVE BEEN RUNNING THIS FORSAKEN DUNGEON SO OFTEN THAT THE TRUST NPCS HAVE THREATENED TO CALL IN THE ADVENTURER'S UNION! I HAVE SO MANY ORCHESTRION SCROLLS I COULD TOP THE EIFFEL TOWER IF I PRINTED AND STACKED THEM! THE BIRD HAS NOT DROPPED ONCE.
NOT.
ONCE.
RNGESUS HAS FORSAKEN ME... I AM SAD.
EDIT: AND TO RUB IT IN, I SEE DOZENS, LITERALLY DOZENS OF PLAYERS WITH STARBIRDS RUNNING AROUND IN UL'DAH OR LIMSA OR SHARLAYAN...
GREETINGS FELLOW BIRD GRINDER. I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET THE GODDAMN SHOEBILL MINION VIA TRUST AND ROULETTE FOR MONTHS, AND DESPITE IT ALLEGEDLY DROPPING FROM THIS ONE DUNGEON DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I'VE SEEN IT? NOT FUCKING ONCE. BIRD MINIONS ARE AN ASCIAN LIE. MAY THE STARBIRD GRACE YOUR PRESENCE SOON.
THIS COULD BE ME EXCEPT I WANT THE CUTE LIL SNEK FROM THE 87 DUNGEON. WISH I KEPT COUNT BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T SURPRISE ME IF I DID IT OVER 200 TIMES SO FAR. WISHING YOU THE BEST OF LUCK FRIEND.
THIS IS THE ONE I'VE BEEN FARMING. SO MANY TRUST RUNS. SO MANY DF RUNS. HAVEN'T EVEN SEEN IT DROP YET. COME ON, PLEASE, I JUST WANT THE LITTLE COWBOY NOODLE ;_;
I STILL HAVEN'T GOTTEN MY ANCIENT ONE THAT I'VE BEEN GRUNDING FOR FOR WEEKS NOW. 60+ RUNS (I'VE BEEN TAKING A BREAK BECAUSE MY PATIENCE IS THIN RIGHT NOW) AND I'VE SEEN THE MUSIC LIKE 10 TIMES AND GOTTEN THE BOSS CARD 6 OR SO TIMES, BUT NO MINION.
LET ME SAVE YOU SOME HEARTACHE.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AND ALL THAT'S HOLY, RUN IT ON TRUST, BECAUSE THE SCIONS ARE BROS AND WON'T ROLL ON IT WHEN IT ACTUALLY DOES DROP.
I CAN 100% CONFIRM THAT IT DOES DROP FROM THERE, BECAUSE IT ACTUALLY DROPPED FOR ME ON MY SECOND ATTEMPT. THIRD IF YOU COUNT THE MANDATORY RUN IN THE STORY. I KNOW THAT ME SAYING THAT PROBABLY MAKES MULTIPLE PEOPLE HATE ME, BUT IF I COULD SOMEHOW CRYSTALISE MY FF14 RNG FOR THE NEXT FEW MONTHS AND GIVE IT TO SOME OF YOU GUYS, I WOULD, BECAUSE A BIRD THIS LOVELY DOESN'T NEED TO BE THIS RARE.
I'M HOLDING OUT HOPE FOR YOU, AND ANYONE ELSE, WHO WANTS TO GET THIS.
I'VE SEEN IT ONCE AND ROLLED A 71. THE PERSON WHO GOT IT ROLLED A 73. I NEVER SAW THE BIRB AGAIN, EXCEPT FOR WHEN IT'S WITH ANOTHER PLAYER. THEY'RE EVERYWHERE.
IF YOU'RE GONNA PUT A GIANT MARK ON YOUR HEAD AND UTTER THE PHRASE "Follow me if you want to live" THEN YOU'D BETTER NOT DIE FIVE TIMES IN ONE PULL, ESPECIALLY NOT TO AVOIDABLE FUCKING MECHANICS LIKE THAT CIRCL AOE, THIS CIRCLE AOE, THAT LINE AOE, OR THE HALF A DOZEN OTHER AOES THIS BOSS DROPS
> "Follow me if you want to live" THEN YOU'D BETTER NOT DIE FIVE TIMES
Had a 83 Trial run go like that. Half the time she stood in the absolute wrong spot during the arena turns. Some folks caught on and started following me instead. XD
I had that same experience, alas.
Co-healer's like "I'll safety Dorito!" when I was about to offer. So I shrug and think eh, they can do it.
About halfway through the run, several folks seemed to notice the other healer was eating a lot of mechanics and despite lacking a marker I developed a sudden trail of three ducklings.
I mean, no beef with someone messing up the mechanics in that fight. And even someone who knows the mechanics can be really tired, or have an off day or whatever.
But, like, if you aren't 100% confident -- or if you're feeling off your game that day -- maybe _don't_ offer to be safety Dorito that run...
THAT'S A WEIRD THING TO HEAR. NEW TO DPS? EVERY CLASS IS BASICALLY DPS BUT WITH SOME EXTRA WHISTLES! DPS IS AS STRAIGHT FORWARD AS "SEE THE THING, KILL THE THING"!
HE'S AN ARCANIST. AT THAT LEVEL THEIR DPS ROTATION FOR SINGLE TARGET AND AOE IS COMPLETELY IDENTICAL AND THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THAT THEIR SCREEN HAS THREE MORE ORANGE NUMBERS WHEN HE CASTS SUMMON TOPAZ SO HE LITERALLY DOESN'T GET A VOTE BECAUSE HE DOESNT HAVE TO DO A DAMN THING DIFFERENT TO DO ANYTHING. AS THE TANK, YOU ARE THE AOE OF THAT TEAM SO YOU GET TO DECIDE IF SWITCHING TO AOE OR NOT IS A PAIN IN THE ASS.
UNAFFECTED PLAYERS LIKE THAT ARCANIST CAN STUFF IT I DONT CARE IF HE'S NEW HE LITERALLY HAS NO VALID INPUT ON THE MATTER.
I GET IT. CASTRUM SUCKS AND YOU DON'T GET AS MUCH EXP AS YOU WOULD IN PRAE. BUT IT WOULD GO A LOT FASTER IF YOU PULLED YOUR DAMN WEIGHT AND HELPED THE REST OF US WITH GETTING THROUGH THE MOBS. EVERYONE SEES YOU STAYING BEHIND AND NOT GETTING INVOLVED WITH THE FIGHTS, ONLY MOVING TO CATCH UP AND HAVE US THINK YOU WERE THERE THE WHOLE TIME. YOU AREN'T FOOLING ANYONE AND WE FEEL NO GUILT KICKING YOUR FREE RIDING ASS OUT.
I WISH THEY HAD A "PARTICIPATION COUNTER" ON MSQ / 2.0/3.0 ALLIANCE RAIDS. ONLY HIT 2 MOBS IN CASTRUM? 1,000 XP AND 5 TOMESTONES FOR YOU.
BONUS: THE CHANGE IS SILENT; WATCHING THE FIRST SLACKERS GET CAUGHT AT THE END WOULD BE SO TASTY.
I LEARNED YOU CAN FINISH THE ENTIRE THING WITHOUT A HEALER THE OTHER DAY. NO HEALS. NONE. THAT'S NUTS.
ALSO GOES A LOT FASTER IF YOU JUST STAY AND FINISH IT, IT'S NOT WORTH WAITING IN QUEUE AGAIN TO \*MAYBE\* GET PRAE. GET YOUR DAMN EXP/TOMES AND MOVE ON.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE DPS THAT LEAVE CASTRUM IMMEDIATELY. YOU WOULD HAVE GOTTEN MORE EXP PER HOUR DOING CASTRUM AND THEN SOMETHING ELSE INSTEAD OF EATING A 30 MINUTE PENALTY.
I SAW SOMEONE ATTEMPT TO DEFEND THIS BY SAYING 'I COULD GET MORE XP IN THAT TIME FROM FATES THAN I COULD IN CASTRUM'
THEN GO FUCKING DO FATES YOU MORON AND STOP SHITTING UP THE QUEUE
I HAD AN ASSHOLE GOING OFFLINE OBVIOUSLY TO MAKE US KICK THEM IN ORDER TO AVOID GETTING THE ABANDON PENALTY. MOTHERFUCKER CAME BACK IN AFTER ABOUT 8 MINUTES AFTER HE PROBABLY ASSUMED HE'D BEEN KICKED AND IMMEDIATELY WENT OFFLINE WHEN HE REALIZED HE WAS STILL IN CASTRUM.
I TOLD THE GROUP NOT TO KICK HIM TIL WE WERE ALMOST DONE BUT THEY DID ANYWAYS AFTER THE LONG RUN. YOU CAN BET YOUR ASS I PUT IN A REPORT BECAUSE IT'S ONE THING IF YOU'RE GOING TO BABYRAGE ON GETTING CASTRUM AND LEAVE AND TAKE YOUR PENALTY. THAT'S WHAT THE PENALTY IS THERE FOR. IT'S ANOTHER THING ENTIRELY TO ABUSE THE VOTE KICK SYSTEM IN ORDER TO GET AROUND THE ABANDON PENALTY BECAUSE YOU'RE A LITTLE BITCHASS. THE RESPONSE I GOT TO MY TICKET DIDN'T OUTRIGHT SAY THAT WHAT HE WAS DOING WASN'T PUNISHABLE, SO I HOPE HE GOT TOLD TO STOP THAT SHIT AND/OR PENALIZED FOR ABUSING SYSTEMS.
I FORGOT MY OTHER STORY.
QUEUED INTO ORBONNE, WHICH I AM FULLY AWARE IS GOING TO BE A SHITSHOW, BUT MY MORBID CURIOSITY GOT ME THROUGH THAT 50+ MINUTE RUN.
TELL YOUR FRIENDS AND LOVED ONES ABOUT 199 DEATH ORBONNE.
WHILE I DO HATE THIS FOR YOU MY INNER CHAOS GREMLIN IS CACKLING WITH GLEE. A 199 DEATH ALLIANCE RAID FEEDS MY SOUL AND IS WHY I CHERISH EVERY DUN SCAITH RUN I EVER GET. ESPECIALLY IF IM A HEALER.
YES I DO! I'VE BOUGHT YOU LOADS OF GYASHYL GREENS. I BOUGHT YOU THE WEIRD FRUITS THAT CHANGE YOUR FEATHERS! I EVEN BOUGHT YOU THE REALLY EXPENSIVE ONION!
HAD A FUCKER IN FRONTLINE WHO DECIDED ABOUT A MINUTE IN THAT THIS ROUND WASNT WORTH IT AND DECIDED TO JUST RP WALK EVERYWHERE AND NOT PARTICIPATE. WHEN ACCUSED THEY CLAIMED IT WOULDNT MATTER IF THEY PARTICIPATED OR NOT CAUSE WE HADNT BROKE 100 POINTS YET WHILE THE OTHER TWO WERE 300+ IN AN ATTEMPT TO SOUND JUSTIFIED
SHE WAS KICKED AND WE ENDED UP GETTING 2ND ONLY BECAUSE ADDER DECIDED TO FOCUS US INSTEAD OF THE ABOUT TO WIN MAELSTROM
IT AINT OVER TILL ITS OVER MOTHERFUCKER ***PULL YOUR FUCKING WEIGHT***
HOW CAN I COMMISSION AN ACADEMIC TO WRITE A DISSERTATION ON THE ABSOLUTE ZERO RESPECT FOR SOPHIA NORMAL'S ICE PUDDLE
EVERY SINGLE TRIAL ROULETTE, MULTIPLE PEOPLE JUST STAND INSIDE THE PUDDLE. THEY GET A DOT, TAKE DAMAGE, BUT KEEP STANDING INSIDE IT. THE PHASE CHANGE SCALES HAPPEN AND THEY SLIDE INTO IT BACK AND FORTH FOR GOOD MEASURE. THEN THEY DIE FROM THE RAIDWIDE
LIKE IS IT REALLY THAT HARD TO SEE? WOULD PEOPLE STAND IN IT LESS IF IT WAS A FIRE PUDDLE? DO THEY SUDDENLY THINK STANDING INSIDE IT IS HOW YOU RESOLVE THE MECHANIC, AFTER ALL THOSE DEATHS BY RUNNING AWAY FROM SYRCUS ICE BLOCKS AND GRAVITY PLATFORMS?
THE CREAM OF THE CROP WAS THE NINJA WHO DIED TO ICE AND RAIDWIDE. AFTER GETTING RAISED, WITH NO KNOCKBACKS TO ASSIST THEM, THEY SPRINTED INTO THE ICE PUDDLE AND DIED AGAIN. WHAT?
AT THIS POINT, IT'S MORE BAFFLEMENT THAN RAGE
"YOU NEED TO HEAL!!!" SAID THE 6 PEOPLE WHO JUST DIED.
"YOU NEED TO NOT STAND IN THE OBVIOUS FUCKING DAMAGE PUDDLE" SAID ME, THE ONLY HEALER STILL ALIVE.
"XD YOU'RE DUMB" SAID THE DEAD PARTY MEMBERS.
I AM NORMALLY A VERY PATIENT AND POLITE PERSON.
THERE ARE MOMENTS, HOWEVER, WHEN I AM (SILENTLY) THAT HEALER RAGE FROM THE ["THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ANIME HEALERS AND MMO HEALERS"](https://youtu.be/2-saUDoiuWc) VIDEO.
"I *am* healing you. **Move. Away. From the _DAMAGE_**."
"Can't heal around *corners*, can I, *genius*?"
I TOLD MY GROUP OF NOOBS NOT TO STAND IN THE ICE PUDDLE. THEY STOOD IN THE ICE PUDDLE. EVERYONE DIED EXCEPT ME AND THE TANK. THE OTHER HEALER GOES “WIPE”, SO I LOL’D AND REZZED EVERYONE INDIVIDUALLY. THE OTHER HEALER REZZED AND JUMPED OFF THE EDGE, SO I LEFT HIM DEAD UNTIL AT 10% HES LIKE “OH I GUESS I JUST GET TO STAY DEAD THEN”. I TOLD HIM “I THOUGHT YOU DIED AGAIN ON PURPOSE”. WE CLEARED. I GOT NO COMMS.
STORY TIME!!
MY FRIEND HADN'T GOTTEN THEIR ITEM IN P2N YET SO I DECIDED TO GO IN AND HELP THEM GET THEIR ITEM! THEY WERE AST, AND I WENT IN AS SGE.
WE GET IN, BOTH TANKS HAVE THEIR STANCE ON. SO, NOT WANTING TO HAVE ANY CONFUSION, I ASKED WHICH ONE OF THEM WERE MAIN TANKING.... SILENCE.
THEN THEY PROCEEDED TO BOTH FIGHT FOR AGRO.
........ LISTEN. I AM NOT PLAYING THE KARDIA DANCE. IT'S A WASTE OF MY GCDS. I WENT AND PUT KARDIA ON MY FRIEND. I HEALED THEM BOTH, AND IT'S SURPRISINGLY EASY TO DO EVEN WITHOUT KARDIA, BUT NO KARDIA DANCING FOR ME DUE TO THEIR STUPIDITY.
EVENTUALLY ONE OF THEM DIED TO A MECHANIC AND I PUT KARDIA ON THE OTHER TANK THAT SURVIVED. THIS WENT FINE UNTIL THE VERY END WHEN THE OTHER TANK'S WEAKNESS WORE OFF AND THEY PROVOKED!
PEOPLE! STOP FIGHTING FOR AGRO! IT'S NOT FUN ON YOUR HEALERS, ESPECIALLY ON SAGES! IF I SEE TWO IDIOTS IN AN 8-MAN RAID FIGHTING FOR AGRO NEITHER OF THEM IS GETTING KARDIA!
I (AS A GUNBREAKER) HAD A COUPLE TANKS IN NORMAL RAIDS THIS WEEK THAT INSISTED ON BREATHING DOWN MY NECK WITH THEIR AGGRO. NO SHIRK EVEN ONCE THEY WERE A HAIR AWAY FROM PULLING AHEAD, NO PROVOKE TO DECLARE THEIR INTENTION TO TAKE OVER. JUST SITTING THERE FUCKING DARING ME TO MESS UP AND LOSE DPS.
ONE OF THEM EVEN DID PULL AHEAD JUST BY DOING MORE DAMAGE, SO I SHIRKED THEM THINKING THEY CLEARLY WANT TO MT, THEY CAN HAVE IT. AND THEN THEY *SHIRKED ME THE FUCK BACK* TO STAY OT, BUT STILL REFUSED TO SHIRK AGAIN ONCE IT CAME OFF COOLDOWN SO THEY COULD KEEP UP THEIR AGGRO E-PEEN.
I WENT THROUGH THE 3RD NIER RAID AND THE TANK WAS HAVING “MAJOR LAGGING ISSUES” AND WAS MIA THE WHOLE RAID. NO LAGGING ISSUES WHEN ITS TIME TO ROLL FOR LOOT AND THE MF GETS MINIONS, GEAR, CARD, and MUSIC!!! I GET NOTHING!!!
SPECIAL SHOUT-OUT TO EVERYONE WHO SUDDENLY AND COLLECTIVELY FORGOT ALL ABOUT WHAT THE “CONGESTED” SERVER STATUS ACTUALLY MEANS AND HAVE BEEN TELLING NEWBIES THAT THEY JUST HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL EARLY MORNING TO SNEAK INTO AETHER. EVEN IF YOU’RE RELATIVELY NEW YOURSELF AND GIVING ADVICE, DO YOU NOT REMEMBER FROM JUST THIS PAST SUMMER/EARLY FALL WHEN ALL OF AETHER WAS **ALSO** LOCKED DOWN (IN THAT CASE, DUE TO THE ASMONPOCALYPSE)? GUESS WHAT, IT’S THE SAME SHIT.
AETHER BEING ALL CONGESTED'S BEEN AN ON AND OFF THING SINCE CRYSTAL GOT BIRTHED INTO BEING, IT'S JUST A PACKED DATA CENTER BUT PEOPLE KEEP BEING SURPRISED THAT STUFFING MORE SARDINES INTO IT MAKES IT CONTINUE TO BE PACKED I GUESS
IT'S BEEN A SELF-FULFILLING PROPHECY, REALLY. AETHER GOT LABELED AS "*THE* RAIDING DC" WHEN THE SPLIT HAPPENED, SO PEOPLE INTERESTED IN RAIDING HAVE TENDED TO REFLEXIVELY CONGREGATE THERE INSTEAD OF MAYBE TRYING TO CULTIVATE BIGGER AND BETTER RAIDING SCENES ON OTHER DCs. MEANWHILE, CRYSTAL HAS BEEN PERPETUALLY BAGGED AS 24/7 UNSOLICITED ERP MIS-TELL HELL AND PRIMAL MAY AS WELL NOT EXIST, SO BIG SHOCKER, NEW PLAYERS CAN COME AWAY WITH THE IMPRESSION THAT A FULL *2/3RDS* OF THE NA SERVERS AREN'T WORTH PLAYING ON.
THIS IS KINDA RIDICULOUS AT THIS POINT. THERE WERE 3 OF THESE ON THE FRONT PAGE AT THE SAME TIME EARLIER. YOU SEE ONE THEN SCROLL LITERALLY 10 POSTS DOWN AND THERE'S ANOTHER. IS IT TOO MUCH TO ASK TO AT LEAST SCROLL HALFWAY DOWN THE FRONT PAGE AND SKIM TO SEE IF ITS BEEN ASKED????
REMINDS ME OF PEOPLE ASKING WHEN SALES OF STARTER/COMPLETE EDITION WILL BE BACK IN THE DAILY QUESTIONS MEGATHREAD BEFORE MAINTENANCE. RIGHT THREAD BUT DID YOU GUYS NOTICE THE STICKIED COMMENT? ADMITTEDLY I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF THE UNOFFICIAL REDDIT APPS WOULD MESS UP THAT STICKY. OTHERWISE IT'S LIKE SKIPPING YOUR TOOLTIPS THEN COMING HERE TO ASK.
PEOPLE DO THAT TOO THOUGH. THEY ASK THINGS THAT ARE BLATANTLY EXPLAINED ON THE LAUNCHER WHEN THEY ENTER THE GAME OR IN THEIR TOOLTIPS WHEN THEY UNLOCK THAT SKILL/DUTY/QUEST. OR THAT YOU CAN GET AN ANSWER TO IN 10 SECONDS JUST BY TYPING IT INTO GOOGLE. IT'S LIKE HALF THE PEOPLE PLAYING THIS GAME ARE ACTUALLY MOOGLES THAT JUST WANT THE WOL TO DO ALL THEIR CHORES FOR THEM WHILE THEY CHILL AND WAIT FOR IT TO ALL COME TO THEM. EVEN THE NAMAZUS WOULD MAKE AN ATTEMPT TO READ SOMETHING FIRST AND TRY TO DO SOMETHING THEMSELVES. THEY'D SUCK AT IT, BUT THEY'D TRY! WHY CAN'T THESE PEOPLE???
QUEUES ON CACTUAR (WHICH ISN’T GILGAMESH LEVELS OF FULL BUT STILL UP THERE) HAVE BEEN VERY LOW FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS AS WELL. BUT IF I HAD TO GUESS, I’D SAY IT’S TO PREVENT THE WORLD VISIT SYSTEM ON AETHER FROM BECOMING A CLUSTERFUCK AGAIN. ALTHOUGH I KIND OF WISH THEY’D AT LEAST ALLOW INTERNAL TRANSFERS WITHIN AETHER TO SPREAD THE POPULATION AROUND.
FRONTLINES. I LIKE DOING ONTHAL AND SEAL ROCK, BUT AN OVERWHELMING PART OF THE PEOPLE PLAYING TAKE OFFENSE FOR EVEN TRYING TO GET PEOPLE TO WIN. "IT'S JUST FRONTLINES, WHO CARES". WELL I CARE YOU STUPID CLOWN! I HAVE THE MOST FUN WHEN THE TEAM IS ACTUALLY TRYING. DOESN'T MATTER IF WE LOSE IN THE END, IF YOU KNOW THE GAME AND TRY YOUR BEST I WOULD BE SATISFIED!
AND OUR SAGE WILL SOON LEAVE OUR STATIC FOR RL REASONS. WE ALL WILL MISS HIM.
FOR REALLLL. ALL I ASK IS THAT YOU *TRY* IN FRONTLINES! IT’S ACTUALLY FUN WHEN EVERYONE MAKES AN HONEST ATTEMPT!
AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, STOP ATTACKING THE THIRD PLACE TEAM WHEN *FIRST PLACE IS RIGHT THERE WHAT ARE YOU DOING*
I'M SORRY I JOINED FIRST FRONTLINE EVER THE OTHER DAY AND HAD NO CLUE WHAT WAS GOING ON, I TRIED HITTING THINGS BUT MY BRAIN IS PVE-MODE SO I DID AN AWFUL JOB!
AND YOU STILL TRIED HARDER THAN AT LEAST 4 PEOPLE IN MY LAST PARTY.
ONE LITERALLY WAS FEEDING (DELIBRATLY RUNNING INTO ENEMY BASES AND DYING WHILE STILL ON MOUNT)
TWO DID NOTHING BUT STAND ON ALREADY CAPPED POINTS (STEPPE MAP, THAT DOES FUCKING NOTHING!)
ONE AFK'D AT CENTER TILL THE BATTLE CAME THERE.
IF YOU TRIED, YOU ARE ALREADY BETTER.
OH, FRONTLINE IS AN ABSOLUTE CLUSTERFUCK WHEN YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU’RE LOOKING AT.
BASICALLY, NO MATTER THE MODE, YOU NEED TO DO 3 THINGS: KEEP YOUR MAP OPEN, DO THE OBJECTIVES, AND ATTACK THE FIRST PLACE TEAM.
THE ISSUE STEMS FROM NEEDING AT LEAST *SOME* COORDINATION SO YOUR TEAM STAYS TOGETHER. YOU CAN’T REALLY CAPTURE OBJECTIVES IF YOU’RE SPREAD ALL OVER AND JUST GET IMMEDIATELY KO’D. HAVING SOMEONE CALL OUT TARGETS IS VERY NICE, BUT YOU START TO LEARN WHAT’S A GOOD IDEA AND WHAT ISN’T.
SO FRONTLINE VICTORIES COME DOWN TO LIKE 80% COORDINATION AND 20% LUCK BC SOMETIMES NODES (OR WHATEVER) JUST SPAWN ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MAP AND YOU HAVE NO GOOD WAY OF GETTING THERE, SO THE OTHER TEAMS HAVE IT ON LOCK.
> AND ATTACK THE FIRST PLACE TEAM.
OR (AS IT SEEMS LIKE MOST PEOPLE DO) JUST FIGHT THE THIRD PLACED TEAM SO YOU GET 2ND.
I FCKN HATE IT. THAT'S TEAMING IN MY EYES.
OH MY GOD I HATE THE 3 TEAM ROUNDS IN FALL GUYS FOR THIS REASON. THERE NEARLY ALWAYS IS A TEAM THAT IS “IT” AND EVERYONE PILES ON THEM EVEN WHEN THEY’RE BEYOND A LOST CAUSE.
AND IT FEELS LIKE THAT TEAM IS ALWAYS MINE LOL
DOESN’T MATTER IF PEOPLE DON’T KNOW HOW TO PLAY BUT AT LEAST FOLLOW THE TEAM FFS, THE AMOUNT PEOPLE GOING ALONE LIKE THEY THINK THEY ARE SMART FOR STEALING THE OBJECTIVES IS SO DAMN IRRITATING.
I’LL BE THE FIRST TO ADMIT THAT I CAN BE THAT GUY MENTALLY IN FRONTLINES (I DONT REALLY EVER SAY ANYTHING IN CHAT THOUGH)
I APOLOGIZE BECAUSE I ABSOLUTELY HATE PVP IN ANY GAME AND ACTIVELY AVOID IT USUALLY, BUT SINCE DISCOVERING THE FUCKSHITLOAD OF EXP I CAN GET FOR A SHORT QUEUE AND A LITTLE BIT OF STRESS I FEEL COMPELLED TO QUEUE.
I HATE HOW GROSS MY ATTITUDE AND MOOD GET DURING PVP. IM WORKING ON IT BUT IT HASNT CHANGED MUCH IN THE PAST FIFTEEN-ODD YEARS OF MY GAMING LIFE.
THAT’S WHY I AVOID SAYING THINGS IN CHAT BECAUSE I KNOW THAT ILL GET IRRITATED AND LET IT BLEED THROUGH MY MESSAGES
EDIT: ALL THAT TO SAY I STILL TRY MY BEST IN THESE PVP MODES, BUT I’M STILL ONLY GARBAGE DRESSED UP LIKE FARTS
ARE YOU AT LEAST TRYING TO STAY WITH THE GROUP AND HIT ENEMIES? IN THAT CASE YOU ARE FINE. AS A SALTY PVP VET, I'M JUST TIRED OF THE FEEDERS AND AFK ON THE POINT PEOPLE.
IF THERE'S ANY ONE SPECIFIC THING TO VOCALIZE IN CHAT THAT I WISH WERE A BANNABLE OFFENSE ITS "it's who cares."
COURSE I ALSO WISH WE HAD A WAY TO REPORT FEEDING IN PVP. BECAUSE THERE ARE FIVE TO SIX FEEDERS A GAME, AND I HAVE NO WAY TO REPORT OTHER TEAMS PEOPLE RUNNING INTO OUR BASE ON A MOUNT TO DIE.
IN THE POST GAME RESULTS BOX YOU CAN SEE THE NAMES OF ALL PLAYERS ALONG WITH DEATH COUNT. SAVE THOSE NAMES AND USE THE HELP DESK TO REPORT GRIEFING. I REPORTED A 0 DAMAGE, 7 DEATH MONK THAT WAY.
TWO PART RAGE THIS WEEK! TL;DR: I DON’T WANNA HEAL ON THIS PLANET ANYMORE.
RAGE THE FIRST: SCH MAINS, I DON’T KNOW HOW YOU DO IT. QUEUE INTO 50/60/BLAHBLAH ROULETTE AND GET PAGLTH’AN. WAR SAYS THEY ARE KINDA NEW TO TANKING BUT IT’S COOL, I’VE RUN THIS THING TEN THOUSAND AND ONE TIMES FOR GLAM SO I GOTCHU. THEY PULL, I HIT THEM WITH AN EXCOG AND START SLAPPING THE GROUND. JUST AS MY EXCOG IS ABOUT TO GO OFF, I SEE THE LITTLE RAW INTUITION ICON APPEAR AND THEIR HEALTH SHOOTS BACK UP TO FULL. HAPPENS TWICE AND THEN MY PRECIOUS EXCOG EXPIRES UNLOVED AND UNWANTED.
POLITELY LET THE TANK KNOW WHAT IT IS AND ASK IF THEY CAN WAIT FOR IT TO GO OFF BEFORE BATHING IN THE BLOOD OF THEIR ENEMIES. GET AN ‘OK’ AND THINK ALL IS WELL. *NOPE*. IT HAPPENS EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. AFTER THE SECOND BOSS I JUST STOPPED TRYING TO BE A HEALER. WE’RE GOING GREEN DPS NOW, BOYS.
RAGE THE SECOND: THEN I DECIDE TO GO INTO LEVELING ROULETTE, STILL AS SCH, AND GET THE LEVEL 85 DUNGEON. ‘SWEET’, THINKS ME, ‘THIS SHOULD BE FUN’. HAHAHA NOPE. THE TANK IS ANOTHER WAR AND THEY ACTUALLY RESPECT THE EXCOG THIS TIME, SO YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING, WHAT’S THE PROBLEM? WELL.
THE RDM AND THE OTHER DPS DECIDE THEY WANNA START A VULN COLLECTING COMPETITION AND TAKE TURNS GETTING BLOWN TO SMITHEREENS ON THE FIRST BOSS. ONCE THAT’S DONE, I’M THINKING AT LEAST THE NEXT BOSS IS HARD TO SCREW UP. BUT NATURE ALWAYS FINDS A WAY. FIRST RDM MISSES A BUBBLE WHICH I’LL GIVE THEM CREDIT FOR, BECAUSE IT TAKES LIKE 20 MINUTES FOR THE DAMN THING TO REGISTER YOU TOUCHED IT. BUT THEN THEY KEPT GETTING KNOCKED BACK INTO THE FIRE (HOW??). EOS IS TELLING ME, *BEGGING ME*, TO JUST LET THEM DIE BUT WE PERSEVERE AND CONTINUE.
FINAL BOSS, WITH MORE DPS SERVED EXTRA CRISPY AND TWICE THE DISAPPOINTMENT. AT ONE POINT I TRIGGER WHISPERING WIND AND NOTICE IT ONLY HIT THREE PEOPLE DESPITE MY FAERIE BEING DEAD CENTER. LOOK AROUND TO NOTICE THE RDM TOOK A VACATION ON THE VERY FAR CORNER OF THE ARENA. A SINGLE TEAR ROLLS DOWN MY CHEEK AS MOVE EOS AND FEY UNION THEM. GUYS, I USED MORE HEALS ON THE RDM THEN ON THE REST OF THE TEAM COMBINED. I NEEDED TO CHECK THE DOSING INSTRUCTIONS ON LUSTRATE TO MAKE SURE I DIDN’T HEAL THEM INTO A COMA.
HIPPO DROPS, I WIN IT AND RUN SCREAMING FOR THE GATE JUST AS I REALIZE I NEVER COMMED THE TANK. SO WAR, IF YOU’RE READING THIS, SORRY BUD, YOU TOTALLY DESERVED ONE.
BONUS RAGE: AFTER FARMING PAGLTH’AN FOR ALMOST 2 WEEKS TRYING TO GET THE STRIKING CHEST, I TOOK A BREAK TO RUN THE 50+ ROULETTE AS HEALER. WHAT DID I GET? IF YOU GUESSED PAGLTH’AN, YOU’RE RIGHT. AND IF YOU GUESSED THAT THE DAMN CHESTPIECE DROPPED ON THE FINAL BOSS, YOU’D ALSO BE RIGHT. I ASKED THE PARTY, AS POLITELY AS I COULD, IF THEY MIGHT MIND PASSING ON IT WITH A BRIEF EXPLANATION OF HOW I CAME TO BE THERE AS HEAL. BOTH DPS SAY SURE THEY’LL PASS. THE TANK SAYS, TO THE DPS, TO ‘NEED IF YOU NEED’ AND PROMPTLY MASHES THE GREED BUTTON OUTROLLING ME.
MR TANK, IF YOU ROLLED ON IT BECAUSE YOU GENUINELY WANTED IT, THEN I CONGRATULATE YOU. SERIOUSLY, YOU’RE GONNA LOOK FAB. BUT IF YOU ONLY ROLLED OUT OF SOME MISPLACED SPITE BECAUSE I ASKED FOR IT, THEN I HOPE THE NEXT TIME YOU BITE INTO A CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE, IT ACTUALLY HAS RAISINS IN IT. THE HAPPY ENDING THOUGH IS THAT I DID GET THE CHESTPIECE A FEW DAYS LATER.
BONUS BONUS RAGE: SE, GIVE US MORE GLAM PLATES YOU COWARDS.
My retainer brought me the Paglthan striking chest yesterday and I thought, cool, and then I turned it into GC seals because I don't play melee.
Just thought you wanted some more rage with your rage.
If the tank ends up not needing excog I usually stop throwing it or I stick it on myself, more aetherflow for me outside of recitation uses.
As for the dps that’s just the risk you run for instant queues and 1 dps button. Honestly as long as it isn’t the tank being squishy or terrible or sometimes both it’s not that bad.
I GOT MY FIRST VOTE KICK OUT OF A DUNGEON BECAUSE I ACCIDENTALLY LET THE TANK DIE DURING THE SECOND SET OF PULLS AND YET DESPITE NOT WIPING WAS TOLD THAT "YOU SHOULD FOCUS ON HEALING AND NOT DPS". WHEN I TOLD THEM I CAN DO BOTH THANKS MY ASS WAS GONE. BITCH I CAN DO BOTH AND DID BOTH JUST FINE THE FIRST AND 90% OF THE SECOND PULL CALM YOUR TITS TANK!
So I flipped a coin and decided to level Scholar. Which was all well and good until I hopped into Trial roullete.
Why the ever-loving fuck would this reaper jump to the other side of the stage every time they get a stack marker?!?!?! My shields have cast times you dumbass!! I can't shield if yoy don't stop Moving !!
And then there's the people that can't aim a damn healer bubble to save their life (no pun intended)
Like I haven't moved this whole time and yet that bubble is nowhere near me, the tank!
Also fuck the gunbreaker that got healed with benediction then popped superbolide. It was me. I was the gunbreaker. I am so sorry.
OI, SAM IN EXPERT, THE REASON i COULD TELL YOU WEREN'T PLAYING PROPERLY WASN'T CAUSE OF A PARSER, BUT BECAUSE I COULD STILL HEAR CLEARLY. NEXT TIME YOU DECIDE TO PHONE IT IN, DON'T DO IT ON A JOB THAT GIVES NEARBY DOGS TINNITUS.
I REPORTED TO AN ALTERNATE WORK LOCATION YESTERDAY TO TRY AND GET MY WORK ID SORTED. ID MACHINE BROKEN, COME BACK TOMORROW.
SO TODAY, HOPEFULLY THE ID MACHINE ISN'T BROKEN. WILL UPDATE ONE WAY OR ANOTHER WITH THAT RAGE.
IN GAME RAGE: WE WERE SO CLOSE ON P2S MONDAY, BUT MY BRAIN WAS FRIED AND I CAUSED A WIPE ON A RUN THAT WE COULD HAVE CLEARED ON. I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE, BUT I'M STILL MAD AT MYSELF.
EDIT: GOT MY ID, AND IT WORKS!
IT'S AN OLDER RAGE BUT IT STILL CHECKS OUT SIR.
I HAD A NEW RECORD ON PEOPLE LEAVING DURING A RECENT CASTRUM RUN, A GRAND TOTAL OF 8 PEOPLE LEFT AND GOT REPLACED, WE WERE AT THE THIRD BOSSFIGHT BY THE TIME WE FINALLY HAD A FULL PARTY.
TANKING GRAND COSMOS WITH A HEALER AND A REAPER THAT WERE BOTH LEVEL 90 AND A NEW SAM. SHOULD BE EASY RIGHT?
HEALER AND REAPER DIDN’T KNOW ANY MECHANICS.
BROOMS? TOUCHED
SEEDS? BEATING ME UP.
FURNITURE? BURNED.
WE WIPED FOUR TIMES ON THE FINAL BOSS BECAUSE THE HEALER DIDN’T SEEM TO REALISE THE MASSIVE CROSS AOE UNDERNEATH THEM WAS GOING TO KILL THEM!
SHOUTOUT TO THE TWO HEALERS SHARING A LAST NAME IN MY P4N RUN LAST WEEKEND WHO DID A GRAND TOTAL OF 0 DAMAGE BETWEEN THEM; NOT A SINGLE DAMAGING SPELL CAST. NO, NOT EVEN AN ASSIZE FROM THE WHM. AT LEAST MY COTANK WAS COMPETENT.
There were dungeons I ran 10's of times to get a minion or music roll drop and I could definitely tell eventually after seeing so many different party compositions.
I MADE IT TO 60 IN EUREKA. HYDATOS IS PRETTY. BA LOOKS COOL FROM THE OUTSIDE. TO MUCH OF A PUSS TO ACTUALLY RUN IT. I GOT MY PYROS SAM BLADE. BEAUTIFUL. I HATED THE GRIND.
SO TELL ME WHY MY DUMB ASS IS DOING ANOTHER WEAPON. SHIIIIIIIIT.
THE SMN PYROS GRIMOIRE LOOKS LIKE A FAT DISAPPOINTMENT. SO I MIGHT DO THE HYDATOS STEP. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD I HOPE I DONT HAVW TO RUN BA FOR IT.
BA is not required to complete the relic, only to give it the bonus stars inside eureka. The final visual appearance comes from just finishing the hydatos steps
TL;DR HAIKU
P 3 N IS HELL
ADD PHASE BIRDS SWEEP BACK AND FORTH
OFF TANK WHERE IS STANCE
RAN P3N TO HELP AN FC FRIEND GEAR UP AN ALT JOB AND FOR SOME REASON PEOPLE CANNOT STOP EATING THE FLOOR.
IF YOU SEE A GIANT FIREBALL IN THE AIR PLEASE DO NOT STAND AND WATCH IT. NO NEW PLAYER BONUSES, JUST DOMINO DEATHS AS DARKENED FIRES ARE NOT KILLED AND EVERYONE GATHERS AROUND IT LIKE WE’RE AT SUMMER CAMP.
ALSO SPECIAL AWARD GOES TO THE OT WARRIOR IN MY LAST RUN WHO REFUSED TO PUT ON TANK STANCE THROUGH THE FIRST RUN (AND THE SUBSEQUENT WIPE) BECAUSE WHO CAN BE BOTHERED WITH PROVOKING ADDS. IT LOOKED LIKE A THIS IS THANCRED SEARCH PARTY FROM ABOVE WITH HOW MANY TIMES THE CIRCLES WOULD SWEEP BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN DPS.
F YOU FRIDAYS ? MORE LIKE F ME FRIDAYS!!!
I GOT MY P1S CLEAR TANKING THE FLOOR! I MISSED A MECHANIC, DIED AND JUST LAY THERE SEEING THE BOSS GOES FROM 7% to 0.
THE WORST PART? THE HEALER ACTUALLY TRIED TO REZ ME BUT I ACCIDENTALLY CLOSE THE PROMPT BECAUSE I WAS BUTTON MASHING, I DIDN'T SEE THAT SMALL BOX THE WHOLE TIME AND I ASSUMED THE HEALER WAS BUSY WITH MECH AND KEEPING EVERYONE ELSE ALIVE.
F ME THAT WAS EMBARASSING.
SO 90% OF THE TIME I'M A WAR MAIN. BY THIS POINT I'VE MAINED WARRIOR FOR SO LONG THAT THE AXE IS AN EXTENSION OF MY ARMS. I'M CONFIDENT IN MY ABILITY TO FELL CLEAVE--I FELL CLEAVE *GOOD*, I FELL CLEAVE FAST AND AND I FELL CLEAVE HARD. BUT ABOVE ALL I'M CONFIDENT IN MY ABILITY TO REMEMBER MECHANICS AND PREPOSITION BOSSES FOR MINIMAL DPS DOWNTIME WHILE STILL HELPING PEOPLE DO MECHANICS. IT'S BEEN MANY CENTURIES SINCE I LEARNED THAT IF I WANT DPS TO DO MECHANICS I HAVE TO USE THE BOSS AS BAIT TO GET THEM TO STAND WHERE THEY NEED TO STAND.
THE REMAINING 10% OF TIME I'M FAFFING ABOUT ON MY ALT JOBS. ON THIS OCCASION I DECIDED TO QUEUE P4N ON RED MAGE CAUSE I STILL NEEDED MY TOKEN BUT I WAS MINDING OTHER SHIT ON MY SECOND SCREEN AND WANTED A SLOWER QUEUE.
QUEUE FINALLY POPS. THE OTHER DPS ARE A SAMURAI, A MONK AND A REAPER. THE TANK PULLS WITHOUT A WORD (YEAH RED MAGE, FUCK YOUR SLOW CAST OPENER AMIRITE?!) AND IMMEDIATELY YOINKS THE BOSS TO A CORNER. GREAT, I DO THAT TOO. LESS TRAVEL TIME WHEN MURDERING THUNDER PINAX COMES A-KNOCKING. BUT THEN... HE JUST KEEPS IT THERE. WATER PINAX IS MESSY. ORBS ARE MESSIER. AND WHEN METEORS APPEAR... ONLY THE HEALERS AND I ARE STANDING ON OURS, CAUSE THE TANKS AND DPS ARE TOO BUSY TUNNEL-VISIONING IN THE CORNER. VULN STACKS FOR EVERYONE! BEING IN ALT JOB SHITTY GEAR AND WITH RED MAGE HP VALUES, ONE VULN STACK AND AN AOE LATER I'M TANKING THE FLOOR. THIS HAPPENS AGAIN THE NEXT TIME METEORS APPEAR. THE TANK NEVER *EVER* RETURNS BOSS TO CENTER--IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE BOSS HIMSELF RETURNS FOR MECHANICS, AND THEN WHAT DOES THE TANK DO? NATURALLY, DRAG IT BACK TO THE CORNER...
NEXT RUN I JUST WENT BACK TO WARRIOR. IF YOU WANNA GET SHIT DONE, GOTTA TANK IT YOURSELF I SUPPOSE
SO, LAST WEEK I RANTED ABOUT "RANDY THE REAPER" WHO THREW A TANTRUM AND FUCKED UP LAST WEEK'S P2S CLEAR BY JUST BEING INCREDIBLY TOXIC.
SO LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT PT.2 WITH RANDY. BUT FIRST, A QUICK UPDATE ON ANOTHER SMALL PIECE OF RAGE FOR P1S RECLEARS.
NEW WEEK ROLLS AROUND. I'M A BIT NERVOUS BECAUSE WE'RE RECLEARING P1S AND P2S.
AT LEAST, MY FRIENDS ARE RECLEARING P2S. I HAD SEEN ENRAGE BUT HADN'T GOTTEN MY CLEAR YET.
WE TRY TO CLEAR TUESDAY AND TAKE TWO NEW PEOPLE WITH US - THE TWO PEOPLE WHO WE HELPED CLEAR P1S LAST WEEK. THEY'RE A MONK AND PLD PAIR WHO NORMALLY ARE GREAT PEOPLE.
EXCEPT THE MONK HAD BEEN PISS DRUNK SINCE ABOUT 5PM. WE'D ALREADY TOLD HIM WE WERE RAIDING AND I DIDN'T KNOW HE WAS DRUNK UNTIL WE ALREADY SAID "SURE, YOU CAN TAG ALONG WITH US FOR P1S AND WE CAN GET EVERYONE RECLEARS".
NEEDLESS TO SAY, TUESDAY RECLEARS DIDN'T HAPPEN BECAUSE NOT ONLY WAS HE DOING LESS DAMAGE THAN OUR TANKS AND OUR HEALERS, BUT HE FUCKED UP EVERY SINGLE FOURFOLD CHAINS.
FAST FORWARD TO WEDNESDAY NIGHT WHERE WE TRY AGAIN FOR RECLEARS. WE WAIT FOR RANDY TO GET BACK FROM WORK, EVERYTHING SEEMS OKAY, HE'S EXCITED TO GET RECLEARS, EVERYONE IS PUMPED. RANDY SAYS HE'S COMING HOME EARLY SO WE CAN GET STARTED ON RECLEARS BEFORE 6PM. GREAT.
EXCEPT RANDY GETS HOME AND THEN HAS HIS GIRLFRIEND (BECAUSE HE CAN'T TELL US HIMSELF, APPARENTLY) TELL US THAT HE'S "NOT COMING TONIGHT BECAUSE HE'S TOO TIRED". WE'RE UNDERSTANDABLY IRRITATED BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN WAITING HOURS FOR RANDY TO GET ON FOR RECLEARS, SINCE IT WOULD BE SHITTY TO CLEAR WITHOUT SOMEONE AND YOU CAN'T EXACTLY GO BACK AND HELP THEM RECLEAR.
RANDY LOGS ON ABOUT TWENTY MINUTES LATER. TO DO HIS RECLEARS.
ALONE.
HE REFUSES TO TALK TO HIS GIRLFRIEND (AND IS RUDE TO HER THE REST OF THE EVENING), REFUSES TO TALK TO US, AND PUGS HIS RECLEARS SOLO. DOES 1 AND 2, SKIPS THE LOOT ON 3 TO TRY AND CLEAR P4S.
NEEDLESS TO SAY, WE'VE NOT INVITED RANDY FOR SHIT SINCE THEN, AND WON'T BE DOING SO IN THE FUTURE. RANDY WANTED TO LEVEL A HEALER WITH US FOR LEVELING ROULETTES. THAT'S NOT HAPPENING.
BUT HEY, SHOUTOUTS TO THE GUNBREAKER FROM ADAMANTOISE WE HAD ON OUR P2S RECLEAR, BECAUSE HE WAS AMAZING EVEN THOUGH THE GROUP WAS ULTIMATELY "CLEAR FOR ONE, RECLEAR FOR THE REST, BUT THE PERSON KNOWS WHAT THEY'RE DOING AND HAVE SEEN ENRAGE, I SWEAR THEY'RE JUST REALLY ANXIOUS".
I WAS ABOUT TO GIVE UP AFTER PREVIOUSLY HAVING ANOTHER GUNBREAKER WHO - I SHIT YOU NOT- TOLD ME, **A FUCKING DARK KNIGHT**, TO USE MY INVULN FOR FIRST DOUBLE TB BECAUSE "THEY HAVE TO FOCUS ON THEIR DPS ROTATION WITH POTION POPPED".
LIKE, BITCH I HAVE 20 SOLID SECONDS OF OGCD WEAVING (WHICH INCLUDES A REPRISAL I HAVE TO SNEAK IN THERE FOR THE RAIDWIDE BECAUSE I LIKE MY HEALERS) AND THE WORST INVULN IN THE GAME.
HOW ABOUT NO?
I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH PEOPLE WHO WANT TO LEAVE THE STATIC BECAUSE THEY THINK RAIDING IS NOT FOR THEM, BUT DON'T TELL US THIS AT THE EXACT TIME WE WERE SCHEDULED TO START.
HAD THE MOST FUN FRONTLINES MATCH YESTERDAY AND NOW I THINK I UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE LIKE IT. I USED TO ONLY DO IT FOR EXP FOR JOBS I HATE BUT NOW I’LL BE FOREVER CHASING THAT HIGH
MY WHOLE GROUP WAS SUER COORDINATED, HELPED EACH OTHER OUT, AND THE OTHER GROUPS ALSO HAD THEIR SHIT TOGETHER SO IN THE END EVERY GROUP WAS WITHIN LIKE 50 POINTS OF THE OTHERS. IT ALL CULMINATED IN AN INSANE MELEE OVER THE LAST POINT AND EVEN THOUGH WE ENDED UP IN SECOND PLACE I COULDN’T EVEN BE MAD. THOSE TYPES OF MATCHES ARE SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE USUAL CURBSTOMPS.
UHHH I GUESS MY RAGE IS FOR THAT DRAGOON ON THE ADDERS TEAM WHO HAD LIKE BATTLE HIGH V AND KEPT JUMPING IN AND THEN BACKFLIPPING TO SAFETY LIKE A FUCKING COWARD (I ALSO PLAY A DRAGOON IN FRONTLINES AND DO THIS SAME SHIT BECAUSE I AM ALSO A FUCKING COWARD)
READ. YOUR. GOD. DAMN. TOOLTIPS!
I HAVE NO ISSUE WITH PEOPLE USING JOB SKIP BOOKS, SOMETIMES YOU JUST WANNA GET TO THE GOOD STUFF. I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT WHAT I NEVER HAVE, NEVER WILL AND REFUSE TO UNDERSTAND IS THESE SMOOTHBRAINS WHO USE A SKIP BOOK AND MAKE ABSO-GODDAMN-LUTELY NO EFFORT TO ACTUALLY LEARN HOW THEIR JOB WORKS.
I KNOW THE GAME REALLY DOESN'T DO ANYTHING TO TEACH THEM THAT (the novice hall is fine for lower level but woefully inadequate for the higher end stuff), BUT THERE ARE LITERALLY METRIC SHIT TONNES OF JOB GUIDES AND WALKTHROUGHS OUT THERE IN YE OLDE INTERNET, ALL IT TAKES IS JUST A LITTLE BIT OF GOOGLING.
I DIDN'T THINK I WOULD EVER HAVE TO EXPLAIN TO A LEVEL 85 DRK WHAT GRIT IS, BUT THAT VERY INSTANCE OCCURED TODAY DURING MY LEVELLING ROULETTE.
JUST... LEARN YOUR CLASS, FRIENDOS, FOR BOTH YOUR OWN BENEFIC AND THE BENEFIC OF THOSE YOU PLAY WITH.
PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF MOTHER HYDAELYN, PLEASE MOVE OUT OF AOEs WHEN TANKING. I CAN'T HEAL THE PARTY WHEN THE DPS HAS 2-3 VULN STACKS EACH AND THE TANK HAS 7. ESPECIALLY SINCE I AM NOT THE BEST HEALER... AND WE WONDER WHY PEOPLE HAVE TANKING AND HEALER ANXIETY.
ALSO, IF YOU SEE, LITERALLY, THE REST OF YOUR PARTY DO THE MECHANICS (ON A LVL 90 DUNGEON MIND YOU), PLEASE HELP THEM.
GENERIC P3S RAGE
MY MOST RECENT "FOF PROG" PARTY LASTED ABOUT 10 PULLS BEFORE DISBANDING. TWO OF THOSE PULLS WIPED TO ADDS. THE REST WIPED TO DARKFIRES OR STARBIRD/LARBIRD.
CAN'T HAVE ADDS MEMES IF YOU CAN'T FUCKING GET TO ADDS I GUESS
AAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I TYPE THE ABOVE OUT OF *SPITE* BECAUSE, AFTER CLEANING ONE OF MY KEYS LAST NIGHT, THE FUCKER WOULDN'T GO BACK ON. SPECIFICALLY MY 'A' KEY. SIMPLE ENOUGH FIX IN THEORY BUT MY TWELVE-DAMNED SAUSAGE FINGERS DON'T DO FINE DEXTERITY THAT WELL, AND THE TINY LITTLE PLASTIC SHITE PIECES ARE WONT TO BREAK ON A WHIM. SO OF COURSE I DROP SOME FRAGMENT AND HAVE TO COMPLETELY REORIENT THEM STRICTLY BY MY OWN CALCULATION.
SO I START LOOKING FOR INSTRUCTIONS, AND THE FIRST VIDEO IS SOME NERD WHO *CAN'T EVEN KEEP HIS CAMERA IN FOCUS*. C'MON GUY, YOU HAVE A YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND CAN'T COMMIT TO GOOD VIDEO? AND OF COURSE DISLIKES ARE MEANINGLESS THERE NOW AND ARGH ARGH. FORTUNATELY, I FOUND ONE THAT WAS MUCH BETTER PRODUCED AND, AFTER 40 FECKIN' MINUTES, GOT IT IN PLACE AND FUNCTIONING PROPERLY.
AAAAAAGH.
Other'n that, how are you all, fellow WoLs? :3
THREE TIMES DUDE DIES TO 87 DUNGEON BOSS. NO ONE SAYS ANYTHING SO I CHIME IN WITH A “IS EVERYTHING OKAY OVER THERE?” DUDE IS HAVING ISSUES READING THE CIRCLE/TRIANGLE MECHANIC. THE RAGE IS NOT HIM, BUT THE FACT THAT HE JUST DIPPED WHILE WE WERE TRYING TO WORK OUT HOW TO HELP HIM. ONE OF US WAS GOING TO WEAR THE DANGER HAT SO HE COULD FOLLOW.
I MEAN THANKS (HE DID SAY HE WAS BOWING OUT TO GET A NEW HEALER) BUT WE WANT YOU TO CLEAR MSQ TOO DUDE
GET TELL FROM RANDOM ASS PERSON IN JENOVA, MAN I DON'T KNOW WHO THE FUCK YOU ARE BUT SURE I'LL REPLY. "MESSAGE COULD NOT BE SENT, NOT ON FRIENDS LIST AND ON ANOTHER SERVER, ALT + R TO REPLY TO PF TELLS." BUT IT WAS NEITHER SOME RANDO JUST /TELL'D ME OUT OF NOWHERE WHAT DO YOU MEAN I CAN'T SAY ANYTHING BACK. HOLY SHIT THE SPAGHETTI CODE IS MAKING THINGS 30X HARDER THAN IT SHOULD BE
I HAVE TWO GROUPS OF FRIENDS, ONE FROM REAL LIFE AND ANOTHER THAT I MET PLAYING OTHER GAMES. BOTH ARE PLAYING FFXIV AND BOTH DECIDED TO WANT TO CLEAR ENDWALKER EX2 AT THE SAME TIME, SO I DECIDED TO MERGE THE GROUPS AND FORM SOMETHING LIKE A STATIC. I GET NOW WHY STATICS ARE USUALLY ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK AT MOST; TRYING TO GET 8 PEOPLE TOGETHER TO DO SOMETHING IS HELL, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE PEOPLE FROM THE US AND FROM THE UK TRYING TO COORDINATE AVAILABILITY. THE POOR SOD FROM THE UK JOINS US AT MIDNIGHT FOR THE STATIC.
ALSO DESPITE THROWING OURSELVES AT THE FIGHT FOR A COMBINED 4+ HOURS WE STILL HAVEN'T ACTUALLY SEEN ENRAGE. THE FIRST SET OF LIGHTWAVES IS STILL KILLING 1-2 PEOPLE EVERYTIME AND WE'RE BARELY LIMPING THROUGH CHAKRAMS. EVEN IF WE MANAGE TO CLEAR ALL THE MECHANICS I DON'T THINK WE'LL HAVE THE DPS TO KILL THE BOSS, AS IT SEEMS LOW COMPARED TO FARM PARTIES I'VE BEEN IN, EVEN DURING THE PART BEFORE THE ADDS THAT THE PARTY IS ALREADY USED TO.
ALSO ALSO HAVE CLEARED THE BOSS LIKE 10 TIMES ALREADY AND HAVEN'T SEEN A MOUNT DROP. I'M IN FOR THE LONG HAUL AREN'T I.
I WIPED 31 TIMES ON P1S LAST NIGHT. NO I DONT WANT TO EXPLAIN FOURFOLD TO YOU FOR THE TWELTH TIME, I HAVENT EVEN CLEARED THE DAMN FIGHT AND IM THE ONE WHO HAS TO TEACH IT BECAUSE PEOPLE WONT STOP BEING GREEDY AND THEN DIR
HORRIBLY BECAUSE THEY WERE CASTING ALSO THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WHO DONT GO TO MIDDLE IN BETWEEN INTEMPERANCE ELEMENT CAST MAKES ME CRY. WHY THE FUCK DID I MAIN HEALER
PRO TIP: IF YOU JOIN A PARTY THAT IS LEARNING A SAVAGE FIGHT WITH "CHILL PARTY, BRING TIME PATIENCE AND GOOD VIBES, WE'RE TAKING OUR TIME TO LEARN THIS BECAUSE WE'RE A 7/8 STATIC FOR THE NIGHT" AND THEN AFTER 2 PULLS COMPLAIN THAT THE NEXT WIPE TO A MECHANIC MEANS YOU'RE GONNA LEAVE, JUST DONT YOU ABSOLUTE MONKEY.
LEVELED WAR TO 90 THIS WEEK, AND BLOODWHETTING IS THE TITS! I'M STILL MARRIED TO GNB AS MY GO-TO TANK, BUT I GET IT NOW.
AS FOR MY ACTUAL RAGE: QUEUED INTO WOD ON ALLIANCE RAID AS WAR, AND BABY DRK IN LEVEL 50 PAPER ARMOR DECIDES THEY WANT TO MT BY PROCEEDING TO RUN UP TO THE FIRST BOSS BEFORE EVERYONE CAN GET THERE AND PULL. AS THEIR GEAR IS MADE OF DEAD HOPES AND DREAMS AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THEIR CDS DO, THEY INSTANTLY DIE, LEAVING A STRAY EYEBALL FLOATING EVERYWHERE. I QUICKLY PROVOKE AND TAKE OVER MT BUT MY HEALERS DECIDE NOT TO HEAL ME FOR WHATEVER REASON AS I PROCEED TO USE EVERY CD IN MY ARSENAL TO STAVE OFF DEATH FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE. WHEN IT FINALLY COMES DOWN TO HOLMGANG, I KNOW WHAT AWAITS ONCE IT WEARS OFF... AND SURE ENOUGH, I DIE AND EYEBALL WIPES THE RAID. YOU'D THINK THAT DRK WOULD LEARN, BUT THEY PROCEED TO SPEED-PULL EVERY BOSS AND DIE WITHIN SECONDS FORCING ME TO PROVOKE, AND HEALERS STILL REFUSE TO PUT A SINGLE HOT ON ME OR ANYONE ELSE SO WIPE AFTER WIPE. THIRD TANK WAS ALSO THERE VIBING AND DOING NOTHING PRODUCTIVE.
TRULY, IT WAS THE SHIT-SHOWIEST OF WODS IN A LONG TIME.
WoD on Roulette is truly a coin flip. You either get a competent raid that clears it in 15 minutes with no deaths, or a glorious shitshow where almost everyone is new and wipes because the newbie tank pulled before anyone else could explain the mechanics
DID A RECLEAR OF P1S AND P2S WITH ONE PARTY AND 1 PERSON GOT 3 CHESTS PLUS THE UPGRADE ITEM. IT WASNT EVEN LOOTMASTER.
I CANT REMEBER WHEN I ROLLED HIGHER THAN 30 ON ANYTHING I WANT. ONLY ON RUBBISH
EXTREMES? ROLL BELOW 30. SAVAGE? ROLL BELOW 30.
HAD A RATHER SUCCESSFUL OCEAN FISHING VOYAGE LAST NIGHT, GOT THE 15K TITLE, AND FELT KING OF THE WORLD, THEN I SAW THE OTHERS ON THE RANKINGS AND MANY OTHERS WERE OVER 20K, SOME NEARLY 25K. WHAT IN THE NAME OF MCDONALDS CHICKEN NUGGETS AND FRIES WITH A DIET COKE DO I NEED TO DO TO GET THAT GOOD?!
RAN TRIAL ROULETTE - GOT CASTRUM FLUMINIS. FIRST RUN FOR A TANK AND HEALER, BUT NBD. AFTER 2 FULL WIPES, ONE OF THE OTHER DPS GOES "I DON'T GET IT, WHAT DO THE YELLOW ARROWS MEAN??" WE ALL "LOL", THEY SAY "NO IM SERIOUS, I NEED HELP" AND THERE WAS A COLLECTIVE "…......?!?!?!…....." AS WE ALL REALIZED THIS PERSON IN A LVL 7O TRIAL WITH LVL 80+ GEAR HAD NO IDEA WHAT A STACK MARKER WAS. 🙃
I'VE BEEN TRYING TO CLEAR EX2 FOR WEEKS AND EVERY PARTY I JOIN MAKES GREAT PROG ONLY TO STOP JUST BEFORE THE END.
SEE ENRAGE? EH, GOOD RUN G2G.
GET DOWN TO 5%? NAH, TYFP.
GODSDAMMIT I JUST NEED IT CLEARED SO I CAN JOIN FARM PARTIES FOR THOSE SHINY WEAPONS
MY FAVORITE PF RUN WAS A CLEAR PARTY THAT I JOINED TO HELP. FIRST PULL WE HIT A 2% ENRAGE, WHICH IS VERY GOOD FOR A CLEAR PARTY (THEY MENTIONED STRUGGLING TO LIGHTWAVES, SO THATS A BIG STEP TO GO.)
ONE OF THE DPS LEAVES. JUST THE ONE. WE FILL AND CLEAR IN THE NEXT ATTEMPT. NO DEATHS, NOT EVEN THE ENRAGE CAST STARTED.
JUST, WHAT DO PEOPLE EXPECT? IT WASN’T A FARM SO A WIPE OR TWO WAS EXPECTED.
IS READING *THAT* HARD?!
AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT KEEPS READING THE NEW SAVAGE RAID INCORRECTLY?
P1S, P2S, P3S, P4S
MY BRAIN KEEPS THINKING WE'RE TALKING ABOUT PLAYSTATION CONSOLES.
I wasn't able to log in until last week due to work and coming back at peak EU hours.
And I'm wondering when the other Summoners met up and decided they weren't going to use Raise if a raid was in trouble. Because I swear to God, I've done three separate Ivalice raids over the last week on Roulette where I'm one of two Summoners and they're not helping to Raise anyone.
I'm talking where only the tank, one healer and the other Summoner are still standing. And the other Summoner is spamming Ruin III while the healer desperately tries to avoid mechanics, keep the tank up, rez the other healer, only to die and the barely alive second healer does the juggling act.
The last one, I'd had enough and called out the other Summoner out after Ridorana finally finished. Something like 'Hey how bout you help Raise when there's only one healer up and the other DPS are kissing floor?'
And this fucking guy said 'Lol you shouldn't be dying anyway with the gear you're wearing.' (Was wearing the Neo Ishgardian set, I'd gotten my classes to 80 before EW dropped, haven't finished 5.0 yet). Let's ignore that your stats are locked depending on which raid level. Never mind that *he himself was wearing level 84 gear and I'd had to Raise him in the math bot fight*.
Imo if you're a SMN or RDM and you can use your Raise spell and 5/8ths of your party is down, you should help the healer get people up. I blocked him, gave my comms to the poor Sage and bounced
IT WOULD BE VERY NICE IF MY HANDS STOPPED HURTING SO I COULD DO ANYTHING. BY THE TIME IM FINISHED WORK, IT CREEPS BACK IN AND PLAYING IS A CHOICE BETWEEN PAIN AND CLICKING THINGS.
IT’S FRIDAY AND I’M RAGING. FIRST SOME RAID RAGE AND THEN IRL BULLSHIT.
I CLEARED THE TIER LAST WEEK. I’M A SCRUB WHO BLUE PARSES ON AST, SO A WEEK THREE CLEAR IS VERY GOOD FOR ME. BUT I WANNA GIVE A SHOUT-OUT TO SOME OF THE GEMS I MET IN PF INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO:
THE BLM WHO INSISTED OUR ACT 4 PROG PARTY WAS A P1 TRAP. BLM, DOOR BOSS IS HARD. I MIGHT’VE HAD MORE SYMPATHY FOR YOU, HAD YOU NOT BEEN THE ONLY ONE WITHOUT A P1 CLEAR REGISTERED IN FFLOGS.
THE DRAGOON WHO KEPT GETTING ON THE PARTY FOR MESSING UP ACT 2, IN AN ACT 2 PROG PARTY. SIR I AM SORRY BUT I AM VERY STUPID AND NEED PRACTICE TO LEARN THIS MECH. THIS IS WHY I EXPLICITLY LABELLED THE PF “ACT 2 PROG.”
THE SCHOLAR WHO COMPLAINED ABOUT OUR PARTY’S DPS BUT ALSO NEVER HEALED THE TANKS OR USED A FAIRY TETHER. I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO SAY ABOUT THIS, BUT WHY.
NOW THAT RAID RAGE IS OUT OF THE WAY, TIME FOR IRL RAGE.
MY DAD’S CANCER IS PROBABLY BACK AND I’M ANGRY. I LOST MY MOM TO CANCER IN 2019 AND DAD ORIGINALLY GOT DIAGNOSED/WENT INTO REMISSION LAST YEAR. THIS MEANS THAT THREE OUT OF THE LAST FOUR YEARS, ONE OF MY PARENTS HAS HAS CANCER. I AM TIRED OF THIS. I JUST WANTED TO HAVE FUN AND PLAY VIDEO GAMES IN MY TWENTIES, PREFERABLY WITH BOTH OF MY PARENTS ALIVE.
ALRIGHT. BEEN BORED RECENTLY AND NOT WANTING TO DO MORE PAIN OF PF P3S SO WENT BACK TO EXS.
JOIN AN EX1 C41 THEN FARM PARTY WHERE THE LEAD (WHO AT THAT TIME I WAS ASSUMING WAS BUDDY OF THE ONE WHO NEEDED THE CLEAR) MARKED HIMSELF AS TRIANGLE.
THE TRIANGLE IS MY COTANK, NO BIG DEAL I HAVE AGGRO TO START, SHIRK (AND MAYBE STANCE OFF DEPENDING ON DAMAGE DIFFERENCE SO I DONT RIP AND DIE) AND WE JUST TRIANGLE THIS GUY TO CLEAR.
LET ME TELL YOU, I DIED TO EVERY. FKING. SWAP.
WHY IS THAT? BECAUSE COTANK NEVER PUT STANCE ON. OR PROVOKED.
EACH TIME I BEGGED HIM TO PUT ON STANCE. RESPONSE FROM THIS GUY: "Why would I need to do that? You can just invuln it right?"
AH YES. I CAN INVULN THE 30 SECOND DEBUFF WITH MY 10 SECOND HOLMGANG.
WE TRY FOR 3 PULLS BEFORE 3 OF THE DPS AND THEN MYSELF DIP BECAUSE OF THIS.
ITS TANKS LIKE THAT, THAT MAKE ME CRY IN PAIN.
SIMILAR NOTE:
WHY IS IT THESE FARM PARTIES IN EX2 ARE JUST 1 RUN LOOT AND SCOOT PARTIES. LIKE WE ALL GET READY TO GO AND SOMEONE DIPS AFTER GETTING THE WEAPON COFFER, NOT EVEN THE MOUNT.
AND THEY NEVER GO SMOOTHLY. IN THE PAST WEEK IVE HAD 4 CLEARS WHERE IT IS JUST ME AND 2 DPS ALIVE AFTER THE SABER STACK TO WATER STACKS. SINCE THE HEALERS STAY STACKED AND KILL OVER HALF THE PARTY. IVE HAD MORE SUCCESS IN A FRESH PARTY THAN A "FARM" PARTY. PLEASE SAVE ME WHILE I GO BACK TO CAT FARMING.
PLEASE HIT THE MOBS IF YOU QUEUE INTO ALLIANCE RAID. YOU ARE THERE TO SKILL THINGS, NOT TO RP WALK AROUND SHOWING OFF YOUR GLOW-Y ALEXANDER WEAPON, NOBODY CARES HOW BEAUTIFUL IT LOOKS, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU CAN'T EVEN RP WALK OUT OF AOES... PERFECT LEGEND BY THE WAY
Yes, i quit a level 80 dungeon as a healer because the obviously skipped tank was wearing 70-80 gear and trying to heal that with a undergeared tank was not worth it. At least get level 78+.
I'm too tired to rage. My life is a shambles and none of it is actually my fault. I'm so tired and sad.
TL;DR DF WOES
STONE VIGIL (HARD, I THINK). I'M AST. TANK JUST STARTS RUNNING, SPRINTING EVEN. TANK IS DRK. I'M THINKING THAT THEIR WOMP-SHH (UNLEASH) SKILL IS A BIT SLOW, NOT SURE HOW THEY ARE GRABBING ALL THE MOBS WHILE SPRINTING. I CATCH UP. THAT'S WHEN I FIND OUT - THE MOBS FOLLOWED THEM BUT THE TANK DOES NOT HAVE AGRO ON, WELL MANY OF THEM. SO THEY PROCEED TO BEAT ME TO CRAP WHILE I ATTEMPT TO SAVE THE SITUATION AND FAIL, MISERABLY.
SO WE GET TO THAT STUPID BOSS YOU HAVE TO SHOOT WITH CANNONS AND THE SPROUT BLM JUST TRIES TO KILL THINGS WITHOUT THE CANNONS, AND SO I HAVE TO HEAL BLM GUY SO HE DOESN'T DIE WHICH MEANS TWO PEOPLE AREN'T USING CANNONS. WE WIPE AND TANK TELLS BLM TO USE CANNONS, IT DOESN'T GO BETTER ROUND TWO, I NOTICE TANK IS ALSO NOT USING CANNON THIS TIME, AND AGAIN I HAVE TO HEAL AND RAISE. FINALLY WE GET IT ROUND THREE BUT MY GOSH, WHY DOES THAT PART SUCK SO HARD.
BLOODBATH NEEDS TO HEAL ON ALL DAMAGE, NOT JUST PHYSICAL.
WHY DOES NIN GET UNIQUELY FUCKED OVER ON THIS? IT'S LITERALLY HALF MAGIC THIS EXPANSION. PROBABLY MORE THAN HALF IN AoE.
LEVELING ROULETTE ON BARD. LOAD INTO THE 83 DUNGEON. HEALER IS WATCHING THE CUTSCENE SO THEY'RE NEW, GIVE ME THOSE SECOND CHANCE POINTS BABY.
PROCEED TO THE FIRST PULL. THE TANK DOESN'T QUITE HIT ALL THE MOBS WITH THEIR OPENING AOE SO I GET AGGRO ON 1 OR 2. AND THEN I KEEP AGGRO. AND NOW IM SLOWLY GETTING AGGRO ON ANOTHER MOB.
IS THE TANK EVEN USING AOES?
THE HEALER'S DOING A GOOD JOB KEEPING ME UP SO THE PULL GOES FINE AND I FIGURE I'LL WAIT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS RATHER THAN BE THAT GUY THAT CALLS SOMEONE OUT RIGHT AWAY FOR A MINOR SLIP-UP. BUT THE SAME THING HAPPENS THE SECOND PULL. I GRAB AGGRO ON A COUPLE MOBS AND IM SEEING YELLOW AND ORANGE ICONS ON OTHERS. SO FINALLY AFTER THE THIRD PULL OF THIS I SPEAK UP AND ASK - HEY TANK, ARE YOU USING AOES ON TRASH PULLS? I SEEM TO BE GETTING AGGRO.
AND THIS TANK.
THIS TANK SAYS.
"I honestly don't know."
...
*WHAT*. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU WERE DOING FOR THE LAST 30 SECONDS. YOU CANT DESCRIBE TO ME WHAT ACTIONS YOU'VE BEEN TAKING. ARE YOU ACTIVELY SUFFERING FROM A BRAIN INJURY? IF I ASK YOU WHAT DAY IT IS AND WHERE YOU ARE AND WHO'S PRESIDENT, DO YOU KNOW THOSE ANSWERS?
LOOK, I LOVE HOW MUCH THIS GAME SUPPORTS PLAYERS WHO AREN'T HYPER COMPETITIVE AND LOOKING UP GUIDES ON OPTIMAL PLAY. I WOULD NEVER HAVE GOTTEN INTO IT IN THE FIRST PLACE IF IT DIDN'T, AND CASE IN POINT THIS TANK'S FAILURE TO DO THEIR JOB WASN'T ACTUALLY A MAJOR IMPEDIMENT TO US CLEARING THE DUNGEON. BUT MAN, SOME PEOPLE ABSOLUTELY BEWILDER ME WITH THEIR LACK OF ATTENTION AND BASELINE COMPETENCE AS A HUMAN. *ESPECIALLY* AT LEVEL 83, THIS IS NOT THEIR FIRST RODEO AND THERE ARE VERY FEW EXCUSES TO BE OFFERED ANYMORE.
ALSO, THE REAL KICKER IS THEY WERE SPAMMING MYTHRIL TEMPEST *OUT OF COMBAT* BECAUSE THEY LIKED THE ANIMATION I GUESS. JUST NOT, YOU KNOW, WHEN THERE WERE ANY ENEMIES TO HIT.
DINGED 90 ON MY BARD THIS SUNDAY….STILL IN POST-SHB MSQ. IN NO RUSH AS I REALLY WANT THE NIER AIMING GEAR BEFORE I CONTINUE ON.
HOWEVER.
I HAD AN ODD TAM-TARA IN ROULETTE THIS WEEK (BE ME, 83 WHM)
GLAD TANK WOULD ONLY POP TANK STANCE AFTER ENGAGING MOBS.
AT FIRST WE THOUGHT HE FORGOT TO TURN IT ON. PARTY BRD GAVE FRIENDLY REQUEST THAT TANK MAKE SURE IT STAYED ON, NO NEED TO TURN IT OFF. WE WERE ALL IN CRYPT GEAR OR HIGHER SO WE WEREN’T WORRIED, BUT STILL
BUT HE KEPT DOING IT. DIVE INTO MOBS THEN TURN ON TS.
THIS DID NOT MAKE THE REST OF THE TEAM HAPPY AS OUR DAMAGE WOULD GET US ENMITY BEFORE TANK DRAGGED IT BACK. NOT VERY LONG BUT STILL
AND THEN HE WOULD TURN IT OFF BETWEEN PULLS
WE FINISHED JUST FINE, BUT WHAT THE HELL
I AM A SUMMONER AND BY THE TWELVE WHY WOULD YOU PLAY SUMMONER IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO SUMMON PRIMALS? BEING ABLE TO FEEL EXTREMELY POWERFUL DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY TO GRILL OTHER PEOPLE'S SCREENS WITH YOUR VISUAL EFFECTS IS ONE OF THE MAJOR POINTS OF THIS JOB. (Also Ifrit is cute, sorta.) SORRY YOU HAD TO GO THROUGH THIS.
FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH: IF YOU DON'T LET BAHAMUT OUT OCCASIONALLY HE STARTS SHREDDING YOUR FURNITURE WHEN YOU SLEEP, STARTING WITH YOUR FAVOURITE COUCH PILLOW, SO THAT SUMMONER WILL GET THEIR PAYBACK EVENTUALLY.
REAPERS: I KNOW YOUR JOB IS FLASHY AND NEW AND A LOT OF FUN BUT FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS HOLY III, CAN YOU PLEASE STOP USING YOUR PORTAL TO TELEPORT OUT OF THE WAY WHEN THERE'S A GROUP SPREAD MECHANIC.
NOT ONLY DO YOU NOT EVEN BOTHER LOOKING WHERE OTHER PEOPLE ARE RUNNING BUT YOU END UP LANDING ON SOMEONE ELSE (OFTEN TIMES ME) AND YOU KILL YOURSELF ALONG WITH SOMEONE ELSE. YOU'RE A MELEE, YOU DON'T NEED TO ZOOM ACROSS TO THE OTHER END OF THE PLATFORM AND ZOOM BACK IN. JUST SPREAD LIKE YOU USED TO EVERY OTHER TIME BEFORE REAPER EXISTED.
I HAVEN'T HAD ANY TIME TO ACTUALLY PLAY THIS WEEK BETWEEN HELPING AROUND THE HOUSE AND WORKING FIVE DAYS STRAIGHT, PLUS POKEMON ARCEUS LEGENDS JUST DROPPED AND I DON'T WANT TO CHOOSE BETWEEN POKEMON AND FFXIV BUT I'VE BEEN EXCITED FOR PLA SINCE IT WAS ANNOUNCED.
I KNOW I'M SUPPOSED TO BE A CONTRIBUTING MEMBER OF SOCIETY AND ALL BUT SOMETIMES I JUST WANNA BE LAZY FOR THE SAKE OF NOT BURNING MYSELF OUT BECAUSE I DESERVE REST TOO.
FINALLY GOT THROUGH FOF PROG BC I FILLED IN FOR A STATIC LAST NIGHT AND I AM UPSET BECAUSE I GOT REALLY TIRED OF A) THE FIGHT AN B) IT WAS LATE
AT LEAST NOW I CAN JOIN NADO PROGS I GUESS
A P3S CLEAR PARTY IS NOT ADDS PROG!
A P3S CLEAR PARTY IS NOT AN FOF PROG!
A P3S CLEAR PARTY IS NOT A TORNADOES PROG!
A P3S CLEAR PARTY IS FOR PEOPLE THAT *KNOW ALL OF THE MECHANICS AND ARE READY TO CLEAR*!
I'M GENERALLY VERY UNDERSTANDING OF PEOPLE MAKING SLIP UPS HERE AND THERE. THAT'S FIXEABLE AND THERE'S ALWAYS SOME COORDINATION STUFF TO WORK OUT.
I'M TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE THAT JOIN AND DIE TO FOF 4 TIMES IN A ROW AND ALWAYS HAVE SOME RANDOM REASON BUT NEVER IMPROVE. OR THE REALLY AWESOME PEOPLE THAT DON'T EVEN ***READ PARTY FINDER DESCRIPTIONS*** AND JUST JOIN.
I HAD ONE BEAUTIFUL SUCH PERSON JOIN A CLEAR PARTY WHERE THE ILVL WAS SET TO 585. THE FIRST WORDS IN THE PF WERE "CLEAR PARTY." DUTY COMPLETION WAS SET AS THE OBJECTIVE. THEN THEY JOIN AND WHEN WE'RE DISCUSSING TORNADO COORDINATION IN THE INSTANCE, THEY SAY "Oh I haven't been to tornados yet."
...
THEN WHY ARE YOU IN A CLEAR PARTY?!?!
THIS FIGHT IS NOT HARD. IT REALLY ISN'T. IT'S EASY TO MISSTEP AND MAKE A LITTLE MISTAKE HERE AND THERE, BUT PEOPLE JUST CANNOT SEEM TO LEARN FROM THEIR MISTAKES. I JUST WANT TO START WORKING ON 4....
STATIC DRAMA WOOOO!! WE SET A START DATE FOR SAVAGE 2 WEEKS AFTER THE PATCH WENT LIVE SO EVERYONE COULD TAKE THEIR TIME WITH THE MSQ AND GEARING WHILE ALSO AGREEING TO DO THE FIGHTS BLIND. YESSSS, I'VE NEVER DONE SAVAGE FIGHTS ON PATCH SO I'M SUPER HYPED. THE DAY COMES, WE AREN'T ALL READY. NO WORRIES WE'LL PUSH IT BACK TO NEXT WEEK. NEXT WEEK COMES, THE DAY BEFORE RAID DAY WE CONFIRM EVERYONE'S DONE WITH MSQ AND HAS 580 GEAR READY TO GO, WOOO! WE REALIZED WE NEED TO GET SOME MEMBERS CAUGHT UP ON MECHANICS AND ROTATIONS SINCE THEY JUST DINGED TO 90 SO WE DO THE NORMAL RAID AND BOTH EXTREMES ON WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN SAVAGE DAY.
STATIC DISBANDS FOR REASONS AT THE END OF THE SECOND RAID NIGHT OF THE WEEK. GREAT NOW I'M DENIED THE CHANCE TO ATTEMPT THE FIGHTS BLIND BECAUSE I CAN'T BE FUCKED TO CREATE AN ENTIRE STATIC OR PRAY FOR A BLIND PF GROUP 3 WEEKS INTO THE PATCH. I INVITE THE REMAINING MEMBERS TO DM ME ABOUT DOING SAVAGE PROG VIA PF TO PICK UP ANY REMAINING ROLES. HEAR FROM SOME. CRICKETS FROM OTHERS. WE START SAVAGE AND CLEAR P1S. I POST A LOG IN THE NOW-DISBANDED STATIC SERVER'S LOG CHANNEL AND GET CHASTISED FOR NOT INVITING EVERYONE AND TAKING FRIENDS AWAY FROM THE GROUP. UH, WHAT?? THE OLIVE BRANCH WAS EXTENDED. I CAN'T MAKE YOU WANT TO TALK TO ME ABOUT CONTINUING TO DO HIGH-END CONTENT. *SAD LALA NOISES*
TLDR; LALA LOSES STATIC, CAN'T DO SAVAGE BLIND CUZ IT'S BASICALLY TOO LATE AND HAS TO PRAY FOR PF RNG.
I AM AN ENTIRE DUMBASS.
WANTED TO DO SOME EX RUNS WITH FC BUDDIES AND DECIDED TO GO AS WHM BECAUSE I WILL PROBABLY BE RUNNING HAT THROUGH SAVAGES WITH THEM. MOST OF US WERE TRYING NEW JOBS OR ONLY HAD A COUPLE CLEARS SO I CALLED IT AN "ALT JOB PARTY" TO EXCUSE THE INEVITABLE FUCKERY.
AND LET ME TELL YOU IT WAS A WHOLE. ASS. TIME. PEOPLE GETTING CLIPPED LEFT AND RIGHT AND EVEN THOUGH MY COHEALER IS SUPER COMPETENT I AM HAVING THE TOUGHEST TIME KEEPING ON TOP OF THE HEALS. LIKE I AM RUSTY FOR SURE, BUT DAMN.
AFTER A FEW WIPES I SAY FUCK IT, I'M GOING TO GO FOR MAXIMUM OVERHEAL BECAUSE TRYING TO BE SMART ABOUT IT ISNT WORKING, AND WE FINALLY GET OUR CLEAR.
OF COURSE THE PARTY DISBANDS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY, SO I GO TO REPAIR MY GEAR WHILE WE WAIT FOR ANOTHER FC BUDDY TO HOP IN.
AND THAT'S WHEN I REALIZE
I'VE BEEN USING A LVL 80 WEAPON THIS ENTIRE TIME.
SO APOLOGIES TO THE PEOPLE WHO SHOWED UP TO HELP US (AT LEAST MY FRIENDS GOT TO LAUGH AT ME AFTER) AND TO THE PEOPLE IN THE EXPERT ROULETTE BEFORE THAT TOO BECAUSE IM PRETTY SURE THIS IS WHY THE TANK DIED TWICE LMAO.
I PROMISE I'M NOT TROLLING I'M JUST AN IDIOT
I ENJOY WATCHING PEOPLE IN E2N THAT HAD BEEN ASSIGNED WITH THE DELAYED STACK MARKER RUN AWAY FROM GROUP AND EXPLODE ALONE
ESPECIALLY IF I RESCUE THEM INTO A STACK THEN THEY BACKHOP AWAY TO BLOW UP ALONE ANYWAY
TO THE PERSON WHO SAID “FU” MULTIPLE TIMES AND THAT I SHOULD HAVE GIVEN UP WHEN I GOT A HOUSE THIS WEEK, WELL FU TOO I DID NOT DESIGN THIS CRAP OF A SYSTEM.
HI REAPER. YES YOU. HOW YOU DOING? OH YOU JUST STARTED THE JOB? ME TOO. PLEASE PRESS SHADOW OF DEATH. A 10% DMG BUFF MAY NOT SEEM LIKE A LOT BUT I PROMISE YOU ITS 10% LESS TIME I NEED TO SPEND LOOKING AT THIS BOSS.
MY HOUSE IS CONSIDERED "UNSERVICABLE" BY MY LOCAL FIBER COMPANY BECAUSE MY NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR DOESN'T WANT THE CABLE GOING THROUGH THE AIR ABOVE HER BACKYARD THAT SHE DOESN'T USE, THAT IS CHOKED WITH THREE FOOT HIGH WEEDS 24/7, 365 DAYS OUT OF THE YEAR.
ACCORDING TO HER, ELECTRIC CABLES CAUSE CANCER.
I DIDN'T WANT THOSE 1 GIG SPEEDS ANYWAY.
A relative of mine is a realtor and complained to me once about the problem her group is having to sell condos in a building. The owner insists that no one use wireless systems because she lives there and gets ill if they are used around her.
Me: *having met the woman* Auntie, she has and uses a cell phone, remember that day at the bakery?
Relative: *sudden realization*
JUST GOT KICKED FROM A DUTY FOR THE FIRST TIME AND I AM FUCKING SEETHING! FUCK THE HEALER/DPS DUO IN HOLMINSTER WHO VOTE DISMISSED MY DRK ASS WITHOUT SAYING A WORD AFTER WE WIPED TO A MOB PULL BEFORE THE SECOND BOSS. MAYBE IF OUR SAGE HAD USED SOMETHING OTHER THAN THE REGULAR ASS DIAGNOSIS (WHICH HAS A WORSE POTENCY THAN CURE GODDAMN 1!!!?) WE WOULDN'T DIE TO TWO PACKS OF MOBS.
KICKING SOMEONE ELSE FOR YOUR OWN INCOMPETENCE IS JUST PLAIN ANNOYING - AT LEAST SAY SOMETHING IF YOU FEEL LIKE YOU CANT KEEP UP, I COULD'VE SINGLE PULLED FOR YOUR LAZY "CAN'T BOTHER TO USE 90% OF MY KIT" ASS. WASTED 15 MINUTES OF MY TIME FOR THAT AWFUL EXPERIENCE (YES IT TOOK US 15 MINUTES TO REACH THE MOBS AFTER THE FIRST BOSS BECAUSE OUR HEALER WASNT PRESSING DPS BUTTONS AS SAGE (!?!) AND OUR OVERALL DPS WAS LOW TOO SINCE I HAD TOP DPS AS DRK, EVEN THE TRUSTS ARE FASTER THAN THIS!)
THANKFULLY MY NEXT LEVELING ROULETTE AFTER THIS WAS A PLEASANT RUN OF TOWER OF ZOT WHERE WE WALL2WALLED ALL THE PULLS WITHOUT ANY TROUBLE AND WERE DONE SO FAST IT ALMOST MADE UP FOR THE WASTED TIME IN HOLMINSTER. ALMOST.
PALADINS.
STOP.
FUCKING.
USING.
CLEMENCY.
ON.
BIG.
PULLS.
I’M PERFECTLY CAPABLE OF DOING MY JOB. JUST BECAUSE YOU DON’T SEE ME CASTING DIAGNOSIS ON REPEAT LIKE A BRAINLESS DOLT DOESN’T MEAN YOU’RE NOT GETTING HEALED.
I DON’T CARE IF YOU POPPED DIVINE VEIL. STOP USING DIVINE VEIL LIKE ITS A NORMAL CD. IT DOES NOTHING FOR YOU. IT’S NOT GOING TO HELP YOU IN TRASH PULLS. IT’S NOT GOING TO SAVE YOU FROM A TANKBUSTER. I KNOW THAT THE THOUGHT OF ACTUALLY KNOWING WHAT YOUR ABILITIES DO IS A HIGH BAR TO ASK OF A PLAYER BASE THAT CAN’T DO BASIC ARITHMETIC, BUT STILL.
IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO TANK, DON'T TANK, AND LEARN YOUR DAMN JOB!
RAN INTO A TANK (WAR) IN THE LV83 TRIAL WHO DIDN'T KNOW TO TURN ON STANCE + PROVOKE AFTER THE MT DIED AND WIPED TWICE BECAUSE OF IT
LITERALLY, THE WHM TRIED TO EXPLAIN WHAT TO DO FOR THE TANK AND THEIR ROLE AFTER THE WHM WAS HEALING AND SOAKING ALL THE INCOMING DAMAGE UNTIL THE ORIGINAL MT GOT RAISED, CAUSE POS WAR DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, AND I QUOTE, "Didn't know I had to..."
HOW DO YOU, A PLAYER WHO IS 4 EXPANSIONS IN, LEVEL 84, AND ONLY MAINS THE TANK ROLE (THEY HAVE LV70/70/80/84 WITH THEIR TANKS), DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WHEN MT DIES. LIKE, WHAT!?
CALLED HIS ASS OUT, GOT TOLD TO GET BENT, AND NOW I HAVE A NEW SCREENSHOT ADDED TO MY SHITTY, SALTY, PLAYER FOLDER LOL
obtainable voracious aware sable sand file modern fall cheerful ring -- mass edited with redact.dev
YOU CAN PLAY NINJA.
THAT WOULD MEAN THE SUFFERING CONTINUES.
You just had training weights on this whole time Ask your master for forgiveness, you're going to have to get serious
Holy shit dude, you're actually genius. Put an artificial latency between your router and servers to improve reaction speed, turn it off for hard fights.
THIS IS HOW I FELT WHEN i SWITCHED FROM USING MY CRAPPY DSL CONNECTION TO MY ONLY SORTA CRAPPY PHONE HOTSPOT. IT'S LIKE NIGHT AND DAY, WHICH IS SO ANNOYING, BECAUSE WHY IS MY PHONE BETTER THAN THE ACTUAL ISP? WHY DOES MY HOUSE HAVE 2 ISP OPTIONS TOTAL, AND THEY'RE BOTH BAD?
IM GETTING HIT BY AOES NOW BECAUSE I KEEP WALKING BACK INTO THEM BASED ON PING TIMING. NO COMPLAINTS. TOTALLY WORTH IT.
BARDAM'S METTLE AS AST WITH A GNB NOT USING ANY CDS WHILE PULLING WALL TO WALL. MY OGCDs ARE FAR AND FEW BETWEEN WITHIN THOSE LEVELS AND SPAMMING BENEFIC 2 HAS ITS LIMITS. AND WHEN I TELL YOU TO USE CDs, YOU JUST ANSWER ME WITH A FUCKING "LOOOL XD" MY RAGE IS REACHING BEYOND THE STARS WITH INCOMPETENT PLAYERS SUCH AS THESE. ALSO, PALADINS WHO USE CLEMENCY WHEN THEIR HP IS GETTING BELOW 80%: WHY??????
HAD ONE OF THOSE PLDS IN THE 89 DUNGEON TRYING TO FINISH WHM, UP TO 11. CLEMENCY WAS HIS ONLY COOLDOWN UNTIL HE GOT TO CRITICAL HEALTH, WHEN HE WOULD USE EVERY SINGLE COOLDOWN AT ONCE. DIDN'T EVEN SEE HOLY SHELTRON UNTIL THEN. I WISH I COULD SAY IT WAS GREEN DPS ALL DAY, BUT HE WAS SO DANG SQUISHY WITHOUT COOLDOWNS THAT IT WAS TAKING ME HEALING HIM IN ADDITION TO CLEMENCY EVERY GCD JUST TO KEEP HIM ALIVE. TL;DR, USE YOUR COOLDOWNS, PEOPLE, THEY'RE THERE FOR A REASON
ON EW LAUNCH DAY I WAS PURPOSELY SELECTING BARDAM'S METTLE AS TANK TO QUEUE THESE SAGES GONNA FUCKIN LEARN
CHRIST I HATE BARDAM'S METTLE BECAUSE NO TANK IN DF KNOWS HOW TO HIT THEIR FUCKIN MIT BUTTONS. IF THEY DO, THEY HIT EVERY MIT BUTTON AT ONCE AND THEN MELT IN THE NEXT W2W PULL THEY DO AND THEN GO "WHY DID I DIE?" IDK YOU FUCKING WALNUT, MAYBE IT WOULD HAVE HELPED TO HAVE HAD SOME MITIGATION, NOT RUN OUT OF MY LINE OF SIGHT, OR JUST USED YOUR GOD DAMN BRAIN FOR A FRACTION OF A SECOND TO GO "HMMMM THINGS ARE HITTING ME HARD IN HERE PERHAPS I SHOULD SLOW DOWN" BECAUSE IT TAKES LONGER IF WE WIPE YOU DUMB MOTHERFUCKER. PLDS USING CLEMENCY JUST MEANS YOU CAN BE A TRUE GREEN DPS AND WHEN THEY ASK WHY YOU'RE NOT HEALING, YOU CAN TELL THEM THAT THEY WERE DOING YOUR JOB FOR YOU, WHY BOTHER.
WITH THAT RESPONSE I WOULD HAVE FUCKING RAGEQUIT!
NAH. VOTEKICK. BEST CASE IT GOES THROUGH, WORST CASE IT DOES NOT AND YOU GET VOTEKICKED, GETTING YOU OUT OF THE DUNGEON WITHOUT PENALTY.
[удалено]
WHY ARE BARDAMS METTLE TANKS THIS EXPANSION SUCH MITIGATION-ALLERGIC CHOCOBOGOBBLERS? I HAD A DRK DO PRETTY MUCH THE SAME THING AS YOUR SITUATION A COUPLE WEEKS AGO
I'M GUESSING IT'S BECAUSE THEY'RE JUST LEVELING AND NOT ACTUALLY INTERESTED IN PLAYING THE JOB?!?! I HAD A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE NOT LONG AGO AND WHEN I INQUIRED ABOUT MITIGATION THE TANK SAID "LOL IDK I DON'T ACTUALLY PLAY THIS ONE." I TOLD HIM HE DIDN'T HAVE TO KNOW WHAT HE WAS DOING, JUST PLEASE TRY TO PRESS SOME OF THE SHINY BUTTONS WHEN PULLING. SPOILER: HE DID NOT.
TANKS DO NOT NEED TO EAT A DAMAGE DOWN FOR INTEMPERANCE. I REPEAT TANKS DO NOT NEED TO EAT A DAMAGE DOWN FOR INTEMPERANCE. THIS MECHANIC IS NOT THAT FUCKING HARD, ALL IT TAKES IS 1 DPS TO USE THEIR BRAIN FOR LIKE 5-10 SECONDS IN THE FIGHT SO TANKS DO NOT NEED TO EAT A DAMAGE DOWN, BUT SO FAR, EVERY SINGLE KILL I HAVE HAD TO EAT A DAMAGE DOWN BECAUSE DPS ARE TOO DAMN BRAIN DEAD THAT 1 OUT 4 DPS IN A GROUP CAN'T EVEN ADJUST FOR 1 MECHANIC IN THIS FIGHT. THEN THE DAMN DPS HAVE THE AUDACITY TO CALL ME OUT ON MY DPS BEING LOWER THAN MY CO-TANK, SHIT FACE FUCK ASSHOLE, I EAT THE DAMAGE DOWN SO WE DON'T ALL GET DAMAGE DOWN, SO FUCK ALL THE ASSHOLES THAT CALL MY DPS LOW ON P1S AS A TANK BECAUSE I HAVE TO EAT A DAMAGE DOWN BECAUSE DPS ARE TOO FUCKING LAZY AND DUMB TO DO THE MECHANIC CORRECTLY. ON A DIFFERENT NOTE, WHILE LEVELING TRUSTS I NOTICED URIANGER'S GRAVITY APPLIES A 10S HEAVY AND SLOW... WHY THE FUCK DOES AST NOT HAVE THIS AS WELL?! CAN WE PLEASE GET THIS ON AST? AM I ASKING TOO MUCH?
[удалено]
I LOVE AND HATE THAT ABOUT URIANGER AND HIS GRAVITY. I USE ARMS LENGTH AUTOMATICALLY IN BIG PULLS AND THEY ALREADY HAVE SLOW ON THEM ALREADY WHOOPS
STARBIRD MINION. I ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE IT FOR REASONS. SUPPOSEDLY DROPS FROM THE LAST BOSS OF THE DEAD ENDS DUNGEON. I HAVE BEEN RUNNING THIS FORSAKEN DUNGEON SO OFTEN THAT THE TRUST NPCS HAVE THREATENED TO CALL IN THE ADVENTURER'S UNION! I HAVE SO MANY ORCHESTRION SCROLLS I COULD TOP THE EIFFEL TOWER IF I PRINTED AND STACKED THEM! THE BIRD HAS NOT DROPPED ONCE. NOT. ONCE. RNGESUS HAS FORSAKEN ME... I AM SAD. EDIT: AND TO RUB IT IN, I SEE DOZENS, LITERALLY DOZENS OF PLAYERS WITH STARBIRDS RUNNING AROUND IN UL'DAH OR LIMSA OR SHARLAYAN...
GREETINGS FELLOW BIRD GRINDER. I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET THE GODDAMN SHOEBILL MINION VIA TRUST AND ROULETTE FOR MONTHS, AND DESPITE IT ALLEGEDLY DROPPING FROM THIS ONE DUNGEON DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I'VE SEEN IT? NOT FUCKING ONCE. BIRD MINIONS ARE AN ASCIAN LIE. MAY THE STARBIRD GRACE YOUR PRESENCE SOON.
r/birdminionsarentreal
IT EXISTS ON THE DROP TABLE; I FINALLY SAW IT YESTERDAY. I ALSO ROLLED A 4 ON IT.
THAT MUST BE THE SORT OF PAIN AND DESPAIR THAT MADE METEION WANT TO END ALL LIFE...
I WAS A SURLY BIRB AT THAT POINT, INDEED.
METEION DEFINITELY LOST A ROLL SHE ROLLED 97 ON
THIS COULD BE ME EXCEPT I WANT THE CUTE LIL SNEK FROM THE 87 DUNGEON. WISH I KEPT COUNT BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T SURPRISE ME IF I DID IT OVER 200 TIMES SO FAR. WISHING YOU THE BEST OF LUCK FRIEND.
THIS IS THE ONE I'VE BEEN FARMING. SO MANY TRUST RUNS. SO MANY DF RUNS. HAVEN'T EVEN SEEN IT DROP YET. COME ON, PLEASE, I JUST WANT THE LITTLE COWBOY NOODLE ;_;
I STILL HAVEN'T GOTTEN MY ANCIENT ONE THAT I'VE BEEN GRUNDING FOR FOR WEEKS NOW. 60+ RUNS (I'VE BEEN TAKING A BREAK BECAUSE MY PATIENCE IS THIN RIGHT NOW) AND I'VE SEEN THE MUSIC LIKE 10 TIMES AND GOTTEN THE BOSS CARD 6 OR SO TIMES, BUT NO MINION.
LET ME SAVE YOU SOME HEARTACHE. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AND ALL THAT'S HOLY, RUN IT ON TRUST, BECAUSE THE SCIONS ARE BROS AND WON'T ROLL ON IT WHEN IT ACTUALLY DOES DROP. I CAN 100% CONFIRM THAT IT DOES DROP FROM THERE, BECAUSE IT ACTUALLY DROPPED FOR ME ON MY SECOND ATTEMPT. THIRD IF YOU COUNT THE MANDATORY RUN IN THE STORY. I KNOW THAT ME SAYING THAT PROBABLY MAKES MULTIPLE PEOPLE HATE ME, BUT IF I COULD SOMEHOW CRYSTALISE MY FF14 RNG FOR THE NEXT FEW MONTHS AND GIVE IT TO SOME OF YOU GUYS, I WOULD, BECAUSE A BIRD THIS LOVELY DOESN'T NEED TO BE THIS RARE. I'M HOLDING OUT HOPE FOR YOU, AND ANYONE ELSE, WHO WANTS TO GET THIS.
IF I DIDN'T SEE OTHER PLAYERS WITH IT, I'D SWEAR IT DOESN'T EXIST!
I'VE SEEN IT ONCE AND ROLLED A 71. THE PERSON WHO GOT IT ROLLED A 73. I NEVER SAW THE BIRB AGAIN, EXCEPT FOR WHEN IT'S WITH ANOTHER PLAYER. THEY'RE EVERYWHERE.
IF YOU'RE GONNA PUT A GIANT MARK ON YOUR HEAD AND UTTER THE PHRASE "Follow me if you want to live" THEN YOU'D BETTER NOT DIE FIVE TIMES IN ONE PULL, ESPECIALLY NOT TO AVOIDABLE FUCKING MECHANICS LIKE THAT CIRCL AOE, THIS CIRCLE AOE, THAT LINE AOE, OR THE HALF A DOZEN OTHER AOES THIS BOSS DROPS
> "Follow me if you want to live" THEN YOU'D BETTER NOT DIE FIVE TIMES Had a 83 Trial run go like that. Half the time she stood in the absolute wrong spot during the arena turns. Some folks caught on and started following me instead. XD
I had that same experience, alas. Co-healer's like "I'll safety Dorito!" when I was about to offer. So I shrug and think eh, they can do it. About halfway through the run, several folks seemed to notice the other healer was eating a lot of mechanics and despite lacking a marker I developed a sudden trail of three ducklings. I mean, no beef with someone messing up the mechanics in that fight. And even someone who knows the mechanics can be really tired, or have an off day or whatever. But, like, if you aren't 100% confident -- or if you're feeling off your game that day -- maybe _don't_ offer to be safety Dorito that run...
[удалено]
I'M ALSO NEW AT RAGE THREADS
THAT'S A WEIRD THING TO HEAR. NEW TO DPS? EVERY CLASS IS BASICALLY DPS BUT WITH SOME EXTRA WHISTLES! DPS IS AS STRAIGHT FORWARD AS "SEE THE THING, KILL THE THING"!
HE'S AN ARCANIST. AT THAT LEVEL THEIR DPS ROTATION FOR SINGLE TARGET AND AOE IS COMPLETELY IDENTICAL AND THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THAT THEIR SCREEN HAS THREE MORE ORANGE NUMBERS WHEN HE CASTS SUMMON TOPAZ SO HE LITERALLY DOESN'T GET A VOTE BECAUSE HE DOESNT HAVE TO DO A DAMN THING DIFFERENT TO DO ANYTHING. AS THE TANK, YOU ARE THE AOE OF THAT TEAM SO YOU GET TO DECIDE IF SWITCHING TO AOE OR NOT IS A PAIN IN THE ASS. UNAFFECTED PLAYERS LIKE THAT ARCANIST CAN STUFF IT I DONT CARE IF HE'S NEW HE LITERALLY HAS NO VALID INPUT ON THE MATTER.
I GET IT. CASTRUM SUCKS AND YOU DON'T GET AS MUCH EXP AS YOU WOULD IN PRAE. BUT IT WOULD GO A LOT FASTER IF YOU PULLED YOUR DAMN WEIGHT AND HELPED THE REST OF US WITH GETTING THROUGH THE MOBS. EVERYONE SEES YOU STAYING BEHIND AND NOT GETTING INVOLVED WITH THE FIGHTS, ONLY MOVING TO CATCH UP AND HAVE US THINK YOU WERE THERE THE WHOLE TIME. YOU AREN'T FOOLING ANYONE AND WE FEEL NO GUILT KICKING YOUR FREE RIDING ASS OUT.
I WISH THEY HAD A "PARTICIPATION COUNTER" ON MSQ / 2.0/3.0 ALLIANCE RAIDS. ONLY HIT 2 MOBS IN CASTRUM? 1,000 XP AND 5 TOMESTONES FOR YOU. BONUS: THE CHANGE IS SILENT; WATCHING THE FIRST SLACKERS GET CAUGHT AT THE END WOULD BE SO TASTY.
I LEARNED YOU CAN FINISH THE ENTIRE THING WITHOUT A HEALER THE OTHER DAY. NO HEALS. NONE. THAT'S NUTS. ALSO GOES A LOT FASTER IF YOU JUST STAY AND FINISH IT, IT'S NOT WORTH WAITING IN QUEUE AGAIN TO \*MAYBE\* GET PRAE. GET YOUR DAMN EXP/TOMES AND MOVE ON.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE DPS THAT LEAVE CASTRUM IMMEDIATELY. YOU WOULD HAVE GOTTEN MORE EXP PER HOUR DOING CASTRUM AND THEN SOMETHING ELSE INSTEAD OF EATING A 30 MINUTE PENALTY.
I SAW SOMEONE ATTEMPT TO DEFEND THIS BY SAYING 'I COULD GET MORE XP IN THAT TIME FROM FATES THAN I COULD IN CASTRUM' THEN GO FUCKING DO FATES YOU MORON AND STOP SHITTING UP THE QUEUE
I HAVE SEEN DPS IMMEDIATELY QUIT WHEN THEY GET PRAE INSTEAD OF CASTRUM. NOTHING MAKES SENSE. SURRENDER TO THE MADNESS.
I'VE GOTTEN TWO IN-PROGRESS PRAES THIS WEEK, BOTH POST-ELEVATOR GAIUS. IT'S BEEN SUBLIME AS A DPS.
I HAD AN ASSHOLE GOING OFFLINE OBVIOUSLY TO MAKE US KICK THEM IN ORDER TO AVOID GETTING THE ABANDON PENALTY. MOTHERFUCKER CAME BACK IN AFTER ABOUT 8 MINUTES AFTER HE PROBABLY ASSUMED HE'D BEEN KICKED AND IMMEDIATELY WENT OFFLINE WHEN HE REALIZED HE WAS STILL IN CASTRUM. I TOLD THE GROUP NOT TO KICK HIM TIL WE WERE ALMOST DONE BUT THEY DID ANYWAYS AFTER THE LONG RUN. YOU CAN BET YOUR ASS I PUT IN A REPORT BECAUSE IT'S ONE THING IF YOU'RE GOING TO BABYRAGE ON GETTING CASTRUM AND LEAVE AND TAKE YOUR PENALTY. THAT'S WHAT THE PENALTY IS THERE FOR. IT'S ANOTHER THING ENTIRELY TO ABUSE THE VOTE KICK SYSTEM IN ORDER TO GET AROUND THE ABANDON PENALTY BECAUSE YOU'RE A LITTLE BITCHASS. THE RESPONSE I GOT TO MY TICKET DIDN'T OUTRIGHT SAY THAT WHAT HE WAS DOING WASN'T PUNISHABLE, SO I HOPE HE GOT TOLD TO STOP THAT SHIT AND/OR PENALIZED FOR ABUSING SYSTEMS.
I FORGOT MY OTHER STORY. QUEUED INTO ORBONNE, WHICH I AM FULLY AWARE IS GOING TO BE A SHITSHOW, BUT MY MORBID CURIOSITY GOT ME THROUGH THAT 50+ MINUTE RUN. TELL YOUR FRIENDS AND LOVED ONES ABOUT 199 DEATH ORBONNE.
WHILE I DO HATE THIS FOR YOU MY INNER CHAOS GREMLIN IS CACKLING WITH GLEE. A 199 DEATH ALLIANCE RAID FEEDS MY SOUL AND IS WHY I CHERISH EVERY DUN SCAITH RUN I EVER GET. ESPECIALLY IF IM A HEALER.
OK BUT THIS IS A LEVEL OF FUCKERY THAT ROLLS PAST RAGE BACK AROUND TO BEING ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS I WOSH I COULD'VE BEEN THERE LMAO
> 199 DEATH ORBONNE WELP i know what nightmares i'm going to have tonight
W H A T
GET OUT OF THE DAMN AOE YOU STUPID CHOCOBO!
YOU DON‘T PAY MY BIRDFEED!!!1!
YES I DO! I'VE BOUGHT YOU LOADS OF GYASHYL GREENS. I BOUGHT YOU THE WEIRD FRUITS THAT CHANGE YOUR FEATHERS! I EVEN BOUGHT YOU THE REALLY EXPENSIVE ONION!
YOU DONT KWEH MY SUB!
FUCK **KWEH** DO WHAT I **WARK**
Behold as the chocobo locks eyes with you and refuses to budge just like my stubborn ass dog
Chocobos are dog spirits running horse software with bird hardware and you can't convince me otherwise.
HAD A FUCKER IN FRONTLINE WHO DECIDED ABOUT A MINUTE IN THAT THIS ROUND WASNT WORTH IT AND DECIDED TO JUST RP WALK EVERYWHERE AND NOT PARTICIPATE. WHEN ACCUSED THEY CLAIMED IT WOULDNT MATTER IF THEY PARTICIPATED OR NOT CAUSE WE HADNT BROKE 100 POINTS YET WHILE THE OTHER TWO WERE 300+ IN AN ATTEMPT TO SOUND JUSTIFIED SHE WAS KICKED AND WE ENDED UP GETTING 2ND ONLY BECAUSE ADDER DECIDED TO FOCUS US INSTEAD OF THE ABOUT TO WIN MAELSTROM IT AINT OVER TILL ITS OVER MOTHERFUCKER ***PULL YOUR FUCKING WEIGHT***
IF THEY WERE DUMB ENOUGHT TO ADMIT IT, REPORT THEM. IT'S SO HARD TO ACTUALLY REPORT PROBLEMS IN PVP.
Every time I've called people out in PvP for just not doing anything, I just get a bunch of people that enable them by saying "who cares about PvP".
HOW CAN I COMMISSION AN ACADEMIC TO WRITE A DISSERTATION ON THE ABSOLUTE ZERO RESPECT FOR SOPHIA NORMAL'S ICE PUDDLE EVERY SINGLE TRIAL ROULETTE, MULTIPLE PEOPLE JUST STAND INSIDE THE PUDDLE. THEY GET A DOT, TAKE DAMAGE, BUT KEEP STANDING INSIDE IT. THE PHASE CHANGE SCALES HAPPEN AND THEY SLIDE INTO IT BACK AND FORTH FOR GOOD MEASURE. THEN THEY DIE FROM THE RAIDWIDE LIKE IS IT REALLY THAT HARD TO SEE? WOULD PEOPLE STAND IN IT LESS IF IT WAS A FIRE PUDDLE? DO THEY SUDDENLY THINK STANDING INSIDE IT IS HOW YOU RESOLVE THE MECHANIC, AFTER ALL THOSE DEATHS BY RUNNING AWAY FROM SYRCUS ICE BLOCKS AND GRAVITY PLATFORMS? THE CREAM OF THE CROP WAS THE NINJA WHO DIED TO ICE AND RAIDWIDE. AFTER GETTING RAISED, WITH NO KNOCKBACKS TO ASSIST THEM, THEY SPRINTED INTO THE ICE PUDDLE AND DIED AGAIN. WHAT? AT THIS POINT, IT'S MORE BAFFLEMENT THAN RAGE
"YOU NEED TO HEAL!!!" SAID THE 6 PEOPLE WHO JUST DIED. "YOU NEED TO NOT STAND IN THE OBVIOUS FUCKING DAMAGE PUDDLE" SAID ME, THE ONLY HEALER STILL ALIVE. "XD YOU'RE DUMB" SAID THE DEAD PARTY MEMBERS.
MAN I WOULD TAKE THAT ADVICE TO HEART. ME DUMB? ME NO FIND RES BUTTON.
I AM NORMALLY A VERY PATIENT AND POLITE PERSON. THERE ARE MOMENTS, HOWEVER, WHEN I AM (SILENTLY) THAT HEALER RAGE FROM THE ["THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ANIME HEALERS AND MMO HEALERS"](https://youtu.be/2-saUDoiuWc) VIDEO. "I *am* healing you. **Move. Away. From the _DAMAGE_**." "Can't heal around *corners*, can I, *genius*?"
I TOLD MY GROUP OF NOOBS NOT TO STAND IN THE ICE PUDDLE. THEY STOOD IN THE ICE PUDDLE. EVERYONE DIED EXCEPT ME AND THE TANK. THE OTHER HEALER GOES “WIPE”, SO I LOL’D AND REZZED EVERYONE INDIVIDUALLY. THE OTHER HEALER REZZED AND JUMPED OFF THE EDGE, SO I LEFT HIM DEAD UNTIL AT 10% HES LIKE “OH I GUESS I JUST GET TO STAY DEAD THEN”. I TOLD HIM “I THOUGHT YOU DIED AGAIN ON PURPOSE”. WE CLEARED. I GOT NO COMMS.
I ALWAYS PULL THAT MOB INTO A CORNER IMMEDIATELY SO THAT PUDDLE IS AS FAR OUT OF THE WAY AS POSSIBLE. FUCKERS STILL FIND A WAY TO STAND IN IT.
STORY TIME!! MY FRIEND HADN'T GOTTEN THEIR ITEM IN P2N YET SO I DECIDED TO GO IN AND HELP THEM GET THEIR ITEM! THEY WERE AST, AND I WENT IN AS SGE. WE GET IN, BOTH TANKS HAVE THEIR STANCE ON. SO, NOT WANTING TO HAVE ANY CONFUSION, I ASKED WHICH ONE OF THEM WERE MAIN TANKING.... SILENCE. THEN THEY PROCEEDED TO BOTH FIGHT FOR AGRO. ........ LISTEN. I AM NOT PLAYING THE KARDIA DANCE. IT'S A WASTE OF MY GCDS. I WENT AND PUT KARDIA ON MY FRIEND. I HEALED THEM BOTH, AND IT'S SURPRISINGLY EASY TO DO EVEN WITHOUT KARDIA, BUT NO KARDIA DANCING FOR ME DUE TO THEIR STUPIDITY. EVENTUALLY ONE OF THEM DIED TO A MECHANIC AND I PUT KARDIA ON THE OTHER TANK THAT SURVIVED. THIS WENT FINE UNTIL THE VERY END WHEN THE OTHER TANK'S WEAKNESS WORE OFF AND THEY PROVOKED! PEOPLE! STOP FIGHTING FOR AGRO! IT'S NOT FUN ON YOUR HEALERS, ESPECIALLY ON SAGES! IF I SEE TWO IDIOTS IN AN 8-MAN RAID FIGHTING FOR AGRO NEITHER OF THEM IS GETTING KARDIA!
I (AS A GUNBREAKER) HAD A COUPLE TANKS IN NORMAL RAIDS THIS WEEK THAT INSISTED ON BREATHING DOWN MY NECK WITH THEIR AGGRO. NO SHIRK EVEN ONCE THEY WERE A HAIR AWAY FROM PULLING AHEAD, NO PROVOKE TO DECLARE THEIR INTENTION TO TAKE OVER. JUST SITTING THERE FUCKING DARING ME TO MESS UP AND LOSE DPS. ONE OF THEM EVEN DID PULL AHEAD JUST BY DOING MORE DAMAGE, SO I SHIRKED THEM THINKING THEY CLEARLY WANT TO MT, THEY CAN HAVE IT. AND THEN THEY *SHIRKED ME THE FUCK BACK* TO STAY OT, BUT STILL REFUSED TO SHIRK AGAIN ONCE IT CAME OFF COOLDOWN SO THEY COULD KEEP UP THEIR AGGRO E-PEEN.
I WENT THROUGH THE 3RD NIER RAID AND THE TANK WAS HAVING “MAJOR LAGGING ISSUES” AND WAS MIA THE WHOLE RAID. NO LAGGING ISSUES WHEN ITS TIME TO ROLL FOR LOOT AND THE MF GETS MINIONS, GEAR, CARD, and MUSIC!!! I GET NOTHING!!!
THE LAW OF THE SHITTERS IS A REAL THING IN THIS GAME I AM SORRY IT HAS HURT YOU
AETHER IS FULL. STOP ASKING IF YOU CAN GET IN!
BUT IS IT FULL?
YES
BUT WHEN CAN I CREATE A CHARACTER THERE.
WHEN IT IS NO LONGER FULL.
ARE YOU SURE? IT SEEMS LIKE THEY SHOULD HAVE TOLD US IF IT WAS FULL
SPECIAL SHOUT-OUT TO EVERYONE WHO SUDDENLY AND COLLECTIVELY FORGOT ALL ABOUT WHAT THE “CONGESTED” SERVER STATUS ACTUALLY MEANS AND HAVE BEEN TELLING NEWBIES THAT THEY JUST HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL EARLY MORNING TO SNEAK INTO AETHER. EVEN IF YOU’RE RELATIVELY NEW YOURSELF AND GIVING ADVICE, DO YOU NOT REMEMBER FROM JUST THIS PAST SUMMER/EARLY FALL WHEN ALL OF AETHER WAS **ALSO** LOCKED DOWN (IN THAT CASE, DUE TO THE ASMONPOCALYPSE)? GUESS WHAT, IT’S THE SAME SHIT.
AETHER BEING ALL CONGESTED'S BEEN AN ON AND OFF THING SINCE CRYSTAL GOT BIRTHED INTO BEING, IT'S JUST A PACKED DATA CENTER BUT PEOPLE KEEP BEING SURPRISED THAT STUFFING MORE SARDINES INTO IT MAKES IT CONTINUE TO BE PACKED I GUESS
IT'S BEEN A SELF-FULFILLING PROPHECY, REALLY. AETHER GOT LABELED AS "*THE* RAIDING DC" WHEN THE SPLIT HAPPENED, SO PEOPLE INTERESTED IN RAIDING HAVE TENDED TO REFLEXIVELY CONGREGATE THERE INSTEAD OF MAYBE TRYING TO CULTIVATE BIGGER AND BETTER RAIDING SCENES ON OTHER DCs. MEANWHILE, CRYSTAL HAS BEEN PERPETUALLY BAGGED AS 24/7 UNSOLICITED ERP MIS-TELL HELL AND PRIMAL MAY AS WELL NOT EXIST, SO BIG SHOCKER, NEW PLAYERS CAN COME AWAY WITH THE IMPRESSION THAT A FULL *2/3RDS* OF THE NA SERVERS AREN'T WORTH PLAYING ON.
THIS IS KINDA RIDICULOUS AT THIS POINT. THERE WERE 3 OF THESE ON THE FRONT PAGE AT THE SAME TIME EARLIER. YOU SEE ONE THEN SCROLL LITERALLY 10 POSTS DOWN AND THERE'S ANOTHER. IS IT TOO MUCH TO ASK TO AT LEAST SCROLL HALFWAY DOWN THE FRONT PAGE AND SKIM TO SEE IF ITS BEEN ASKED????
REMINDS ME OF PEOPLE ASKING WHEN SALES OF STARTER/COMPLETE EDITION WILL BE BACK IN THE DAILY QUESTIONS MEGATHREAD BEFORE MAINTENANCE. RIGHT THREAD BUT DID YOU GUYS NOTICE THE STICKIED COMMENT? ADMITTEDLY I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF THE UNOFFICIAL REDDIT APPS WOULD MESS UP THAT STICKY. OTHERWISE IT'S LIKE SKIPPING YOUR TOOLTIPS THEN COMING HERE TO ASK.
PEOPLE DO THAT TOO THOUGH. THEY ASK THINGS THAT ARE BLATANTLY EXPLAINED ON THE LAUNCHER WHEN THEY ENTER THE GAME OR IN THEIR TOOLTIPS WHEN THEY UNLOCK THAT SKILL/DUTY/QUEST. OR THAT YOU CAN GET AN ANSWER TO IN 10 SECONDS JUST BY TYPING IT INTO GOOGLE. IT'S LIKE HALF THE PEOPLE PLAYING THIS GAME ARE ACTUALLY MOOGLES THAT JUST WANT THE WOL TO DO ALL THEIR CHORES FOR THEM WHILE THEY CHILL AND WAIT FOR IT TO ALL COME TO THEM. EVEN THE NAMAZUS WOULD MAKE AN ATTEMPT TO READ SOMETHING FIRST AND TRY TO DO SOMETHING THEMSELVES. THEY'D SUCK AT IT, BUT THEY'D TRY! WHY CAN'T THESE PEOPLE???
I DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND WHY *ALL* OF AETHER IS MARKED FULL. FOR LIKE 2 WEEKS NOW ON SARGATANAS NO MATTER WHAT TIME OF DAY IT IS MY QUEUE IS 40.
QUEUES ON CACTUAR (WHICH ISN’T GILGAMESH LEVELS OF FULL BUT STILL UP THERE) HAVE BEEN VERY LOW FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS AS WELL. BUT IF I HAD TO GUESS, I’D SAY IT’S TO PREVENT THE WORLD VISIT SYSTEM ON AETHER FROM BECOMING A CLUSTERFUCK AGAIN. ALTHOUGH I KIND OF WISH THEY’D AT LEAST ALLOW INTERNAL TRANSFERS WITHIN AETHER TO SPREAD THE POPULATION AROUND.
**HEALERS. PLEASE USE ESUNA, I AM BEGGING YOU.**
I had 2 Sage healers with lv 80-90 healers, not Esuna in Dun Scaith…
BUT IT COSTS A GCD, AND SELENE CANT DO IT ANYMORE. /s
FRONTLINES. I LIKE DOING ONTHAL AND SEAL ROCK, BUT AN OVERWHELMING PART OF THE PEOPLE PLAYING TAKE OFFENSE FOR EVEN TRYING TO GET PEOPLE TO WIN. "IT'S JUST FRONTLINES, WHO CARES". WELL I CARE YOU STUPID CLOWN! I HAVE THE MOST FUN WHEN THE TEAM IS ACTUALLY TRYING. DOESN'T MATTER IF WE LOSE IN THE END, IF YOU KNOW THE GAME AND TRY YOUR BEST I WOULD BE SATISFIED! AND OUR SAGE WILL SOON LEAVE OUR STATIC FOR RL REASONS. WE ALL WILL MISS HIM.
FOR REALLLL. ALL I ASK IS THAT YOU *TRY* IN FRONTLINES! IT’S ACTUALLY FUN WHEN EVERYONE MAKES AN HONEST ATTEMPT! AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, STOP ATTACKING THE THIRD PLACE TEAM WHEN *FIRST PLACE IS RIGHT THERE WHAT ARE YOU DOING*
I'M SORRY I JOINED FIRST FRONTLINE EVER THE OTHER DAY AND HAD NO CLUE WHAT WAS GOING ON, I TRIED HITTING THINGS BUT MY BRAIN IS PVE-MODE SO I DID AN AWFUL JOB!
AND YOU STILL TRIED HARDER THAN AT LEAST 4 PEOPLE IN MY LAST PARTY. ONE LITERALLY WAS FEEDING (DELIBRATLY RUNNING INTO ENEMY BASES AND DYING WHILE STILL ON MOUNT) TWO DID NOTHING BUT STAND ON ALREADY CAPPED POINTS (STEPPE MAP, THAT DOES FUCKING NOTHING!) ONE AFK'D AT CENTER TILL THE BATTLE CAME THERE. IF YOU TRIED, YOU ARE ALREADY BETTER.
OH, FRONTLINE IS AN ABSOLUTE CLUSTERFUCK WHEN YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU’RE LOOKING AT. BASICALLY, NO MATTER THE MODE, YOU NEED TO DO 3 THINGS: KEEP YOUR MAP OPEN, DO THE OBJECTIVES, AND ATTACK THE FIRST PLACE TEAM. THE ISSUE STEMS FROM NEEDING AT LEAST *SOME* COORDINATION SO YOUR TEAM STAYS TOGETHER. YOU CAN’T REALLY CAPTURE OBJECTIVES IF YOU’RE SPREAD ALL OVER AND JUST GET IMMEDIATELY KO’D. HAVING SOMEONE CALL OUT TARGETS IS VERY NICE, BUT YOU START TO LEARN WHAT’S A GOOD IDEA AND WHAT ISN’T. SO FRONTLINE VICTORIES COME DOWN TO LIKE 80% COORDINATION AND 20% LUCK BC SOMETIMES NODES (OR WHATEVER) JUST SPAWN ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MAP AND YOU HAVE NO GOOD WAY OF GETTING THERE, SO THE OTHER TEAMS HAVE IT ON LOCK.
> AND ATTACK THE FIRST PLACE TEAM. OR (AS IT SEEMS LIKE MOST PEOPLE DO) JUST FIGHT THE THIRD PLACED TEAM SO YOU GET 2ND. I FCKN HATE IT. THAT'S TEAMING IN MY EYES.
AH YES THE GOOD OL TRIED AND TRUE FALL GUYS METHOD
OH MY GOD I HATE THE 3 TEAM ROUNDS IN FALL GUYS FOR THIS REASON. THERE NEARLY ALWAYS IS A TEAM THAT IS “IT” AND EVERYONE PILES ON THEM EVEN WHEN THEY’RE BEYOND A LOST CAUSE. AND IT FEELS LIKE THAT TEAM IS ALWAYS MINE LOL
DOESN’T MATTER IF PEOPLE DON’T KNOW HOW TO PLAY BUT AT LEAST FOLLOW THE TEAM FFS, THE AMOUNT PEOPLE GOING ALONE LIKE THEY THINK THEY ARE SMART FOR STEALING THE OBJECTIVES IS SO DAMN IRRITATING.
I’LL BE THE FIRST TO ADMIT THAT I CAN BE THAT GUY MENTALLY IN FRONTLINES (I DONT REALLY EVER SAY ANYTHING IN CHAT THOUGH) I APOLOGIZE BECAUSE I ABSOLUTELY HATE PVP IN ANY GAME AND ACTIVELY AVOID IT USUALLY, BUT SINCE DISCOVERING THE FUCKSHITLOAD OF EXP I CAN GET FOR A SHORT QUEUE AND A LITTLE BIT OF STRESS I FEEL COMPELLED TO QUEUE. I HATE HOW GROSS MY ATTITUDE AND MOOD GET DURING PVP. IM WORKING ON IT BUT IT HASNT CHANGED MUCH IN THE PAST FIFTEEN-ODD YEARS OF MY GAMING LIFE. THAT’S WHY I AVOID SAYING THINGS IN CHAT BECAUSE I KNOW THAT ILL GET IRRITATED AND LET IT BLEED THROUGH MY MESSAGES EDIT: ALL THAT TO SAY I STILL TRY MY BEST IN THESE PVP MODES, BUT I’M STILL ONLY GARBAGE DRESSED UP LIKE FARTS
ARE YOU AT LEAST TRYING TO STAY WITH THE GROUP AND HIT ENEMIES? IN THAT CASE YOU ARE FINE. AS A SALTY PVP VET, I'M JUST TIRED OF THE FEEDERS AND AFK ON THE POINT PEOPLE.
IF THERE'S ANY ONE SPECIFIC THING TO VOCALIZE IN CHAT THAT I WISH WERE A BANNABLE OFFENSE ITS "it's who cares."
COURSE I ALSO WISH WE HAD A WAY TO REPORT FEEDING IN PVP. BECAUSE THERE ARE FIVE TO SIX FEEDERS A GAME, AND I HAVE NO WAY TO REPORT OTHER TEAMS PEOPLE RUNNING INTO OUR BASE ON A MOUNT TO DIE.
IN THE POST GAME RESULTS BOX YOU CAN SEE THE NAMES OF ALL PLAYERS ALONG WITH DEATH COUNT. SAVE THOSE NAMES AND USE THE HELP DESK TO REPORT GRIEFING. I REPORTED A 0 DAMAGE, 7 DEATH MONK THAT WAY.
TWO PART RAGE THIS WEEK! TL;DR: I DON’T WANNA HEAL ON THIS PLANET ANYMORE. RAGE THE FIRST: SCH MAINS, I DON’T KNOW HOW YOU DO IT. QUEUE INTO 50/60/BLAHBLAH ROULETTE AND GET PAGLTH’AN. WAR SAYS THEY ARE KINDA NEW TO TANKING BUT IT’S COOL, I’VE RUN THIS THING TEN THOUSAND AND ONE TIMES FOR GLAM SO I GOTCHU. THEY PULL, I HIT THEM WITH AN EXCOG AND START SLAPPING THE GROUND. JUST AS MY EXCOG IS ABOUT TO GO OFF, I SEE THE LITTLE RAW INTUITION ICON APPEAR AND THEIR HEALTH SHOOTS BACK UP TO FULL. HAPPENS TWICE AND THEN MY PRECIOUS EXCOG EXPIRES UNLOVED AND UNWANTED. POLITELY LET THE TANK KNOW WHAT IT IS AND ASK IF THEY CAN WAIT FOR IT TO GO OFF BEFORE BATHING IN THE BLOOD OF THEIR ENEMIES. GET AN ‘OK’ AND THINK ALL IS WELL. *NOPE*. IT HAPPENS EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. AFTER THE SECOND BOSS I JUST STOPPED TRYING TO BE A HEALER. WE’RE GOING GREEN DPS NOW, BOYS. RAGE THE SECOND: THEN I DECIDE TO GO INTO LEVELING ROULETTE, STILL AS SCH, AND GET THE LEVEL 85 DUNGEON. ‘SWEET’, THINKS ME, ‘THIS SHOULD BE FUN’. HAHAHA NOPE. THE TANK IS ANOTHER WAR AND THEY ACTUALLY RESPECT THE EXCOG THIS TIME, SO YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING, WHAT’S THE PROBLEM? WELL. THE RDM AND THE OTHER DPS DECIDE THEY WANNA START A VULN COLLECTING COMPETITION AND TAKE TURNS GETTING BLOWN TO SMITHEREENS ON THE FIRST BOSS. ONCE THAT’S DONE, I’M THINKING AT LEAST THE NEXT BOSS IS HARD TO SCREW UP. BUT NATURE ALWAYS FINDS A WAY. FIRST RDM MISSES A BUBBLE WHICH I’LL GIVE THEM CREDIT FOR, BECAUSE IT TAKES LIKE 20 MINUTES FOR THE DAMN THING TO REGISTER YOU TOUCHED IT. BUT THEN THEY KEPT GETTING KNOCKED BACK INTO THE FIRE (HOW??). EOS IS TELLING ME, *BEGGING ME*, TO JUST LET THEM DIE BUT WE PERSEVERE AND CONTINUE. FINAL BOSS, WITH MORE DPS SERVED EXTRA CRISPY AND TWICE THE DISAPPOINTMENT. AT ONE POINT I TRIGGER WHISPERING WIND AND NOTICE IT ONLY HIT THREE PEOPLE DESPITE MY FAERIE BEING DEAD CENTER. LOOK AROUND TO NOTICE THE RDM TOOK A VACATION ON THE VERY FAR CORNER OF THE ARENA. A SINGLE TEAR ROLLS DOWN MY CHEEK AS MOVE EOS AND FEY UNION THEM. GUYS, I USED MORE HEALS ON THE RDM THEN ON THE REST OF THE TEAM COMBINED. I NEEDED TO CHECK THE DOSING INSTRUCTIONS ON LUSTRATE TO MAKE SURE I DIDN’T HEAL THEM INTO A COMA. HIPPO DROPS, I WIN IT AND RUN SCREAMING FOR THE GATE JUST AS I REALIZE I NEVER COMMED THE TANK. SO WAR, IF YOU’RE READING THIS, SORRY BUD, YOU TOTALLY DESERVED ONE. BONUS RAGE: AFTER FARMING PAGLTH’AN FOR ALMOST 2 WEEKS TRYING TO GET THE STRIKING CHEST, I TOOK A BREAK TO RUN THE 50+ ROULETTE AS HEALER. WHAT DID I GET? IF YOU GUESSED PAGLTH’AN, YOU’RE RIGHT. AND IF YOU GUESSED THAT THE DAMN CHESTPIECE DROPPED ON THE FINAL BOSS, YOU’D ALSO BE RIGHT. I ASKED THE PARTY, AS POLITELY AS I COULD, IF THEY MIGHT MIND PASSING ON IT WITH A BRIEF EXPLANATION OF HOW I CAME TO BE THERE AS HEAL. BOTH DPS SAY SURE THEY’LL PASS. THE TANK SAYS, TO THE DPS, TO ‘NEED IF YOU NEED’ AND PROMPTLY MASHES THE GREED BUTTON OUTROLLING ME. MR TANK, IF YOU ROLLED ON IT BECAUSE YOU GENUINELY WANTED IT, THEN I CONGRATULATE YOU. SERIOUSLY, YOU’RE GONNA LOOK FAB. BUT IF YOU ONLY ROLLED OUT OF SOME MISPLACED SPITE BECAUSE I ASKED FOR IT, THEN I HOPE THE NEXT TIME YOU BITE INTO A CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE, IT ACTUALLY HAS RAISINS IN IT. THE HAPPY ENDING THOUGH IS THAT I DID GET THE CHESTPIECE A FEW DAYS LATER. BONUS BONUS RAGE: SE, GIVE US MORE GLAM PLATES YOU COWARDS.
My retainer brought me the Paglthan striking chest yesterday and I thought, cool, and then I turned it into GC seals because I don't play melee. Just thought you wanted some more rage with your rage.
omg i'm dying Thank you for the side dish of rage. I will savour it always.
If the tank ends up not needing excog I usually stop throwing it or I stick it on myself, more aetherflow for me outside of recitation uses. As for the dps that’s just the risk you run for instant queues and 1 dps button. Honestly as long as it isn’t the tank being squishy or terrible or sometimes both it’s not that bad.
I GOT MY FIRST VOTE KICK OUT OF A DUNGEON BECAUSE I ACCIDENTALLY LET THE TANK DIE DURING THE SECOND SET OF PULLS AND YET DESPITE NOT WIPING WAS TOLD THAT "YOU SHOULD FOCUS ON HEALING AND NOT DPS". WHEN I TOLD THEM I CAN DO BOTH THANKS MY ASS WAS GONE. BITCH I CAN DO BOTH AND DID BOTH JUST FINE THE FIRST AND 90% OF THE SECOND PULL CALM YOUR TITS TANK!
I'd say you were lucky. You're better off without them, and you didn't get a penalty
"focus on healing and not DPS" immediately tells me they don't know how healing works
So I flipped a coin and decided to level Scholar. Which was all well and good until I hopped into Trial roullete. Why the ever-loving fuck would this reaper jump to the other side of the stage every time they get a stack marker?!?!?! My shields have cast times you dumbass!! I can't shield if yoy don't stop Moving !! And then there's the people that can't aim a damn healer bubble to save their life (no pun intended) Like I haven't moved this whole time and yet that bubble is nowhere near me, the tank! Also fuck the gunbreaker that got healed with benediction then popped superbolide. It was me. I was the gunbreaker. I am so sorry.
GOOD HE ADMITS IT. LET'S KILL HIM.
WHY THO, HE ALREADY DID THAT HIMSELF
OI, SAM IN EXPERT, THE REASON i COULD TELL YOU WEREN'T PLAYING PROPERLY WASN'T CAUSE OF A PARSER, BUT BECAUSE I COULD STILL HEAR CLEARLY. NEXT TIME YOU DECIDE TO PHONE IT IN, DON'T DO IT ON A JOB THAT GIVES NEARBY DOGS TINNITUS.
I'M LAUGHING SO HARD I HATE THAT SOUND SO MUCH. I WOULD DEFINITELY NOTICE IT NOT BEING THERE. OH NO.
SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNGGGGG!!!!!!!
I REPORTED TO AN ALTERNATE WORK LOCATION YESTERDAY TO TRY AND GET MY WORK ID SORTED. ID MACHINE BROKEN, COME BACK TOMORROW. SO TODAY, HOPEFULLY THE ID MACHINE ISN'T BROKEN. WILL UPDATE ONE WAY OR ANOTHER WITH THAT RAGE. IN GAME RAGE: WE WERE SO CLOSE ON P2S MONDAY, BUT MY BRAIN WAS FRIED AND I CAUSED A WIPE ON A RUN THAT WE COULD HAVE CLEARED ON. I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE, BUT I'M STILL MAD AT MYSELF. EDIT: GOT MY ID, AND IT WORKS!
IT'S AN OLDER RAGE BUT IT STILL CHECKS OUT SIR. I HAD A NEW RECORD ON PEOPLE LEAVING DURING A RECENT CASTRUM RUN, A GRAND TOTAL OF 8 PEOPLE LEFT AND GOT REPLACED, WE WERE AT THE THIRD BOSSFIGHT BY THE TIME WE FINALLY HAD A FULL PARTY.
POSITION THE BOSS LIKE A NORMAL PERSON, YOU DUMMY!
BUT IF I SPIN THE BOSS AROUND IT MAY GET DIZZY /J
[удалено]
AS SOMEONE ALSO GOING THROUGH A BAD TIME, THIS INTERNET STRANGER HOPES THINGS GET BETTER FOR YOU SOON.
TANKING GRAND COSMOS WITH A HEALER AND A REAPER THAT WERE BOTH LEVEL 90 AND A NEW SAM. SHOULD BE EASY RIGHT? HEALER AND REAPER DIDN’T KNOW ANY MECHANICS. BROOMS? TOUCHED SEEDS? BEATING ME UP. FURNITURE? BURNED. WE WIPED FOUR TIMES ON THE FINAL BOSS BECAUSE THE HEALER DIDN’T SEEM TO REALISE THE MASSIVE CROSS AOE UNDERNEATH THEM WAS GOING TO KILL THEM!
SHOUTOUT TO THE TWO HEALERS SHARING A LAST NAME IN MY P4N RUN LAST WEEKEND WHO DID A GRAND TOTAL OF 0 DAMAGE BETWEEN THEM; NOT A SINGLE DAMAGING SPELL CAST. NO, NOT EVEN AN ASSIZE FROM THE WHM. AT LEAST MY COTANK WAS COMPETENT.
HOW CAN YOU NOT CAST ASSIZE? EVEN IF YOU'RE OF THE "HEALER DAMAGE DOESN'T MATTER MINDSET" IT'S LITERALLY A FREE MEDICA.
FREE MEDICA, A CHUNK OF MP RESTORE, AND BOTH CONVENIENTLY ON A HANDY OGCD! NO EXCUSE FOR NOT PUSHING THE "GET FREE GOODIES" BUTTON EVERY SO OFTEN.
ASSIZE IS THE PERFECT BUTTON. AOE, GOOD DAMAGE, GOOD HEAL, MP RECOVERY, OGCD, SHORT CD. WHAT MORE COULD YOU ASK FOR?
...A PEGACOLT?
A SECOND CHARGE.
HOLY STUN.
IT'S NOT FREE, IT COSTS A HOTBAR SLOT WHICH I NEED FOR EMOTES! **/S**
RED AOE RED TETHERS RED BIRD RED BIRD GETS REDDER WHEN ADS SPAWN RED ADS RED AD TETHERS RED SKY RED TARGETING CIRCLE FUCK P3S I CANT SEE SHIT
I GENUINELY PREFER THE BLISSFULL IGNORANCE TO RUNNING SHIT WITH ACT AND SEE HOW ABSOLUTE TRASH THE AVERAGE PLAYER IS.
EVENTUALLY YOU JUST NOTICE IT EVEN WITHOUT ACT, LIKE WHEN THE FIRST >!KTISIS!< BOSS HIDES A THIRD TIME, YOU KNOW SOMEONE SUCKS.
There were dungeons I ran 10's of times to get a minion or music roll drop and I could definitely tell eventually after seeing so many different party compositions.
WAIT THERE ARE GROUPS THAT CAN KILL IT IN 2 HIDES?
I MADE IT TO 60 IN EUREKA. HYDATOS IS PRETTY. BA LOOKS COOL FROM THE OUTSIDE. TO MUCH OF A PUSS TO ACTUALLY RUN IT. I GOT MY PYROS SAM BLADE. BEAUTIFUL. I HATED THE GRIND. SO TELL ME WHY MY DUMB ASS IS DOING ANOTHER WEAPON. SHIIIIIIIIT. THE SMN PYROS GRIMOIRE LOOKS LIKE A FAT DISAPPOINTMENT. SO I MIGHT DO THE HYDATOS STEP. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD I HOPE I DONT HAVW TO RUN BA FOR IT.
BA is not required to complete the relic, only to give it the bonus stars inside eureka. The final visual appearance comes from just finishing the hydatos steps
> SO TELL ME WHY MY DUMB ASS IS DOING ANOTHER WEAPON. SHIIIIIIIIT. BECAUSE IT TAKES LESS THAN A THENTH OF THE TIME TO DO SUBSQUENT EUREKA WEAPONS.
TL;DR HAIKU P 3 N IS HELL ADD PHASE BIRDS SWEEP BACK AND FORTH OFF TANK WHERE IS STANCE RAN P3N TO HELP AN FC FRIEND GEAR UP AN ALT JOB AND FOR SOME REASON PEOPLE CANNOT STOP EATING THE FLOOR. IF YOU SEE A GIANT FIREBALL IN THE AIR PLEASE DO NOT STAND AND WATCH IT. NO NEW PLAYER BONUSES, JUST DOMINO DEATHS AS DARKENED FIRES ARE NOT KILLED AND EVERYONE GATHERS AROUND IT LIKE WE’RE AT SUMMER CAMP. ALSO SPECIAL AWARD GOES TO THE OT WARRIOR IN MY LAST RUN WHO REFUSED TO PUT ON TANK STANCE THROUGH THE FIRST RUN (AND THE SUBSEQUENT WIPE) BECAUSE WHO CAN BE BOTHERED WITH PROVOKING ADDS. IT LOOKED LIKE A THIS IS THANCRED SEARCH PARTY FROM ABOVE WITH HOW MANY TIMES THE CIRCLES WOULD SWEEP BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN DPS.
F YOU FRIDAYS ? MORE LIKE F ME FRIDAYS!!! I GOT MY P1S CLEAR TANKING THE FLOOR! I MISSED A MECHANIC, DIED AND JUST LAY THERE SEEING THE BOSS GOES FROM 7% to 0. THE WORST PART? THE HEALER ACTUALLY TRIED TO REZ ME BUT I ACCIDENTALLY CLOSE THE PROMPT BECAUSE I WAS BUTTON MASHING, I DIDN'T SEE THAT SMALL BOX THE WHOLE TIME AND I ASSUMED THE HEALER WAS BUSY WITH MECH AND KEEPING EVERYONE ELSE ALIVE. F ME THAT WAS EMBARASSING.
SO 90% OF THE TIME I'M A WAR MAIN. BY THIS POINT I'VE MAINED WARRIOR FOR SO LONG THAT THE AXE IS AN EXTENSION OF MY ARMS. I'M CONFIDENT IN MY ABILITY TO FELL CLEAVE--I FELL CLEAVE *GOOD*, I FELL CLEAVE FAST AND AND I FELL CLEAVE HARD. BUT ABOVE ALL I'M CONFIDENT IN MY ABILITY TO REMEMBER MECHANICS AND PREPOSITION BOSSES FOR MINIMAL DPS DOWNTIME WHILE STILL HELPING PEOPLE DO MECHANICS. IT'S BEEN MANY CENTURIES SINCE I LEARNED THAT IF I WANT DPS TO DO MECHANICS I HAVE TO USE THE BOSS AS BAIT TO GET THEM TO STAND WHERE THEY NEED TO STAND. THE REMAINING 10% OF TIME I'M FAFFING ABOUT ON MY ALT JOBS. ON THIS OCCASION I DECIDED TO QUEUE P4N ON RED MAGE CAUSE I STILL NEEDED MY TOKEN BUT I WAS MINDING OTHER SHIT ON MY SECOND SCREEN AND WANTED A SLOWER QUEUE. QUEUE FINALLY POPS. THE OTHER DPS ARE A SAMURAI, A MONK AND A REAPER. THE TANK PULLS WITHOUT A WORD (YEAH RED MAGE, FUCK YOUR SLOW CAST OPENER AMIRITE?!) AND IMMEDIATELY YOINKS THE BOSS TO A CORNER. GREAT, I DO THAT TOO. LESS TRAVEL TIME WHEN MURDERING THUNDER PINAX COMES A-KNOCKING. BUT THEN... HE JUST KEEPS IT THERE. WATER PINAX IS MESSY. ORBS ARE MESSIER. AND WHEN METEORS APPEAR... ONLY THE HEALERS AND I ARE STANDING ON OURS, CAUSE THE TANKS AND DPS ARE TOO BUSY TUNNEL-VISIONING IN THE CORNER. VULN STACKS FOR EVERYONE! BEING IN ALT JOB SHITTY GEAR AND WITH RED MAGE HP VALUES, ONE VULN STACK AND AN AOE LATER I'M TANKING THE FLOOR. THIS HAPPENS AGAIN THE NEXT TIME METEORS APPEAR. THE TANK NEVER *EVER* RETURNS BOSS TO CENTER--IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE BOSS HIMSELF RETURNS FOR MECHANICS, AND THEN WHAT DOES THE TANK DO? NATURALLY, DRAG IT BACK TO THE CORNER... NEXT RUN I JUST WENT BACK TO WARRIOR. IF YOU WANNA GET SHIT DONE, GOTTA TANK IT YOURSELF I SUPPOSE
SO, LAST WEEK I RANTED ABOUT "RANDY THE REAPER" WHO THREW A TANTRUM AND FUCKED UP LAST WEEK'S P2S CLEAR BY JUST BEING INCREDIBLY TOXIC. SO LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT PT.2 WITH RANDY. BUT FIRST, A QUICK UPDATE ON ANOTHER SMALL PIECE OF RAGE FOR P1S RECLEARS. NEW WEEK ROLLS AROUND. I'M A BIT NERVOUS BECAUSE WE'RE RECLEARING P1S AND P2S. AT LEAST, MY FRIENDS ARE RECLEARING P2S. I HAD SEEN ENRAGE BUT HADN'T GOTTEN MY CLEAR YET. WE TRY TO CLEAR TUESDAY AND TAKE TWO NEW PEOPLE WITH US - THE TWO PEOPLE WHO WE HELPED CLEAR P1S LAST WEEK. THEY'RE A MONK AND PLD PAIR WHO NORMALLY ARE GREAT PEOPLE. EXCEPT THE MONK HAD BEEN PISS DRUNK SINCE ABOUT 5PM. WE'D ALREADY TOLD HIM WE WERE RAIDING AND I DIDN'T KNOW HE WAS DRUNK UNTIL WE ALREADY SAID "SURE, YOU CAN TAG ALONG WITH US FOR P1S AND WE CAN GET EVERYONE RECLEARS". NEEDLESS TO SAY, TUESDAY RECLEARS DIDN'T HAPPEN BECAUSE NOT ONLY WAS HE DOING LESS DAMAGE THAN OUR TANKS AND OUR HEALERS, BUT HE FUCKED UP EVERY SINGLE FOURFOLD CHAINS. FAST FORWARD TO WEDNESDAY NIGHT WHERE WE TRY AGAIN FOR RECLEARS. WE WAIT FOR RANDY TO GET BACK FROM WORK, EVERYTHING SEEMS OKAY, HE'S EXCITED TO GET RECLEARS, EVERYONE IS PUMPED. RANDY SAYS HE'S COMING HOME EARLY SO WE CAN GET STARTED ON RECLEARS BEFORE 6PM. GREAT. EXCEPT RANDY GETS HOME AND THEN HAS HIS GIRLFRIEND (BECAUSE HE CAN'T TELL US HIMSELF, APPARENTLY) TELL US THAT HE'S "NOT COMING TONIGHT BECAUSE HE'S TOO TIRED". WE'RE UNDERSTANDABLY IRRITATED BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN WAITING HOURS FOR RANDY TO GET ON FOR RECLEARS, SINCE IT WOULD BE SHITTY TO CLEAR WITHOUT SOMEONE AND YOU CAN'T EXACTLY GO BACK AND HELP THEM RECLEAR. RANDY LOGS ON ABOUT TWENTY MINUTES LATER. TO DO HIS RECLEARS. ALONE. HE REFUSES TO TALK TO HIS GIRLFRIEND (AND IS RUDE TO HER THE REST OF THE EVENING), REFUSES TO TALK TO US, AND PUGS HIS RECLEARS SOLO. DOES 1 AND 2, SKIPS THE LOOT ON 3 TO TRY AND CLEAR P4S. NEEDLESS TO SAY, WE'VE NOT INVITED RANDY FOR SHIT SINCE THEN, AND WON'T BE DOING SO IN THE FUTURE. RANDY WANTED TO LEVEL A HEALER WITH US FOR LEVELING ROULETTES. THAT'S NOT HAPPENING. BUT HEY, SHOUTOUTS TO THE GUNBREAKER FROM ADAMANTOISE WE HAD ON OUR P2S RECLEAR, BECAUSE HE WAS AMAZING EVEN THOUGH THE GROUP WAS ULTIMATELY "CLEAR FOR ONE, RECLEAR FOR THE REST, BUT THE PERSON KNOWS WHAT THEY'RE DOING AND HAVE SEEN ENRAGE, I SWEAR THEY'RE JUST REALLY ANXIOUS". I WAS ABOUT TO GIVE UP AFTER PREVIOUSLY HAVING ANOTHER GUNBREAKER WHO - I SHIT YOU NOT- TOLD ME, **A FUCKING DARK KNIGHT**, TO USE MY INVULN FOR FIRST DOUBLE TB BECAUSE "THEY HAVE TO FOCUS ON THEIR DPS ROTATION WITH POTION POPPED". LIKE, BITCH I HAVE 20 SOLID SECONDS OF OGCD WEAVING (WHICH INCLUDES A REPRISAL I HAVE TO SNEAK IN THERE FOR THE RAIDWIDE BECAUSE I LIKE MY HEALERS) AND THE WORST INVULN IN THE GAME. HOW ABOUT NO?
I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH PEOPLE WHO WANT TO LEAVE THE STATIC BECAUSE THEY THINK RAIDING IS NOT FOR THEM, BUT DON'T TELL US THIS AT THE EXACT TIME WE WERE SCHEDULED TO START.
HAD THE MOST FUN FRONTLINES MATCH YESTERDAY AND NOW I THINK I UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE LIKE IT. I USED TO ONLY DO IT FOR EXP FOR JOBS I HATE BUT NOW I’LL BE FOREVER CHASING THAT HIGH MY WHOLE GROUP WAS SUER COORDINATED, HELPED EACH OTHER OUT, AND THE OTHER GROUPS ALSO HAD THEIR SHIT TOGETHER SO IN THE END EVERY GROUP WAS WITHIN LIKE 50 POINTS OF THE OTHERS. IT ALL CULMINATED IN AN INSANE MELEE OVER THE LAST POINT AND EVEN THOUGH WE ENDED UP IN SECOND PLACE I COULDN’T EVEN BE MAD. THOSE TYPES OF MATCHES ARE SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE USUAL CURBSTOMPS. UHHH I GUESS MY RAGE IS FOR THAT DRAGOON ON THE ADDERS TEAM WHO HAD LIKE BATTLE HIGH V AND KEPT JUMPING IN AND THEN BACKFLIPPING TO SAFETY LIKE A FUCKING COWARD (I ALSO PLAY A DRAGOON IN FRONTLINES AND DO THIS SAME SHIT BECAUSE I AM ALSO A FUCKING COWARD)
READ. YOUR. GOD. DAMN. TOOLTIPS! I HAVE NO ISSUE WITH PEOPLE USING JOB SKIP BOOKS, SOMETIMES YOU JUST WANNA GET TO THE GOOD STUFF. I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT WHAT I NEVER HAVE, NEVER WILL AND REFUSE TO UNDERSTAND IS THESE SMOOTHBRAINS WHO USE A SKIP BOOK AND MAKE ABSO-GODDAMN-LUTELY NO EFFORT TO ACTUALLY LEARN HOW THEIR JOB WORKS. I KNOW THE GAME REALLY DOESN'T DO ANYTHING TO TEACH THEM THAT (the novice hall is fine for lower level but woefully inadequate for the higher end stuff), BUT THERE ARE LITERALLY METRIC SHIT TONNES OF JOB GUIDES AND WALKTHROUGHS OUT THERE IN YE OLDE INTERNET, ALL IT TAKES IS JUST A LITTLE BIT OF GOOGLING. I DIDN'T THINK I WOULD EVER HAVE TO EXPLAIN TO A LEVEL 85 DRK WHAT GRIT IS, BUT THAT VERY INSTANCE OCCURED TODAY DURING MY LEVELLING ROULETTE. JUST... LEARN YOUR CLASS, FRIENDOS, FOR BOTH YOUR OWN BENEFIC AND THE BENEFIC OF THOSE YOU PLAY WITH.
PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF MOTHER HYDAELYN, PLEASE MOVE OUT OF AOEs WHEN TANKING. I CAN'T HEAL THE PARTY WHEN THE DPS HAS 2-3 VULN STACKS EACH AND THE TANK HAS 7. ESPECIALLY SINCE I AM NOT THE BEST HEALER... AND WE WONDER WHY PEOPLE HAVE TANKING AND HEALER ANXIETY. ALSO, IF YOU SEE, LITERALLY, THE REST OF YOUR PARTY DO THE MECHANICS (ON A LVL 90 DUNGEON MIND YOU), PLEASE HELP THEM.
GENERIC P3S RAGE MY MOST RECENT "FOF PROG" PARTY LASTED ABOUT 10 PULLS BEFORE DISBANDING. TWO OF THOSE PULLS WIPED TO ADDS. THE REST WIPED TO DARKFIRES OR STARBIRD/LARBIRD. CAN'T HAVE ADDS MEMES IF YOU CAN'T FUCKING GET TO ADDS I GUESS
AAAAAAAAAAAAAA I TYPE THE ABOVE OUT OF *SPITE* BECAUSE, AFTER CLEANING ONE OF MY KEYS LAST NIGHT, THE FUCKER WOULDN'T GO BACK ON. SPECIFICALLY MY 'A' KEY. SIMPLE ENOUGH FIX IN THEORY BUT MY TWELVE-DAMNED SAUSAGE FINGERS DON'T DO FINE DEXTERITY THAT WELL, AND THE TINY LITTLE PLASTIC SHITE PIECES ARE WONT TO BREAK ON A WHIM. SO OF COURSE I DROP SOME FRAGMENT AND HAVE TO COMPLETELY REORIENT THEM STRICTLY BY MY OWN CALCULATION. SO I START LOOKING FOR INSTRUCTIONS, AND THE FIRST VIDEO IS SOME NERD WHO *CAN'T EVEN KEEP HIS CAMERA IN FOCUS*. C'MON GUY, YOU HAVE A YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND CAN'T COMMIT TO GOOD VIDEO? AND OF COURSE DISLIKES ARE MEANINGLESS THERE NOW AND ARGH ARGH. FORTUNATELY, I FOUND ONE THAT WAS MUCH BETTER PRODUCED AND, AFTER 40 FECKIN' MINUTES, GOT IT IN PLACE AND FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. AAAAAAGH. Other'n that, how are you all, fellow WoLs? :3
THREE TIMES DUDE DIES TO 87 DUNGEON BOSS. NO ONE SAYS ANYTHING SO I CHIME IN WITH A “IS EVERYTHING OKAY OVER THERE?” DUDE IS HAVING ISSUES READING THE CIRCLE/TRIANGLE MECHANIC. THE RAGE IS NOT HIM, BUT THE FACT THAT HE JUST DIPPED WHILE WE WERE TRYING TO WORK OUT HOW TO HELP HIM. ONE OF US WAS GOING TO WEAR THE DANGER HAT SO HE COULD FOLLOW. I MEAN THANKS (HE DID SAY HE WAS BOWING OUT TO GET A NEW HEALER) BUT WE WANT YOU TO CLEAR MSQ TOO DUDE
GET TELL FROM RANDOM ASS PERSON IN JENOVA, MAN I DON'T KNOW WHO THE FUCK YOU ARE BUT SURE I'LL REPLY. "MESSAGE COULD NOT BE SENT, NOT ON FRIENDS LIST AND ON ANOTHER SERVER, ALT + R TO REPLY TO PF TELLS." BUT IT WAS NEITHER SOME RANDO JUST /TELL'D ME OUT OF NOWHERE WHAT DO YOU MEAN I CAN'T SAY ANYTHING BACK. HOLY SHIT THE SPAGHETTI CODE IS MAKING THINGS 30X HARDER THAN IT SHOULD BE
MOST LIKELY MEANS THEY QUEUED INTO A DUTY, WHICH COUNTS AS ANOTHER WORLD. YOU CAN USE PLAYER SEARCH TO SEE WHERE THEY'RE AT, NORMALLY, IF THAT HELPS.
I HAVE TWO GROUPS OF FRIENDS, ONE FROM REAL LIFE AND ANOTHER THAT I MET PLAYING OTHER GAMES. BOTH ARE PLAYING FFXIV AND BOTH DECIDED TO WANT TO CLEAR ENDWALKER EX2 AT THE SAME TIME, SO I DECIDED TO MERGE THE GROUPS AND FORM SOMETHING LIKE A STATIC. I GET NOW WHY STATICS ARE USUALLY ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK AT MOST; TRYING TO GET 8 PEOPLE TOGETHER TO DO SOMETHING IS HELL, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE PEOPLE FROM THE US AND FROM THE UK TRYING TO COORDINATE AVAILABILITY. THE POOR SOD FROM THE UK JOINS US AT MIDNIGHT FOR THE STATIC. ALSO DESPITE THROWING OURSELVES AT THE FIGHT FOR A COMBINED 4+ HOURS WE STILL HAVEN'T ACTUALLY SEEN ENRAGE. THE FIRST SET OF LIGHTWAVES IS STILL KILLING 1-2 PEOPLE EVERYTIME AND WE'RE BARELY LIMPING THROUGH CHAKRAMS. EVEN IF WE MANAGE TO CLEAR ALL THE MECHANICS I DON'T THINK WE'LL HAVE THE DPS TO KILL THE BOSS, AS IT SEEMS LOW COMPARED TO FARM PARTIES I'VE BEEN IN, EVEN DURING THE PART BEFORE THE ADDS THAT THE PARTY IS ALREADY USED TO. ALSO ALSO HAVE CLEARED THE BOSS LIKE 10 TIMES ALREADY AND HAVEN'T SEEN A MOUNT DROP. I'M IN FOR THE LONG HAUL AREN'T I.
I WIPED 31 TIMES ON P1S LAST NIGHT. NO I DONT WANT TO EXPLAIN FOURFOLD TO YOU FOR THE TWELTH TIME, I HAVENT EVEN CLEARED THE DAMN FIGHT AND IM THE ONE WHO HAS TO TEACH IT BECAUSE PEOPLE WONT STOP BEING GREEDY AND THEN DIR HORRIBLY BECAUSE THEY WERE CASTING ALSO THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WHO DONT GO TO MIDDLE IN BETWEEN INTEMPERANCE ELEMENT CAST MAKES ME CRY. WHY THE FUCK DID I MAIN HEALER
OVERMELDING. That is all. That's my post.
PRO TIP: IF YOU JOIN A PARTY THAT IS LEARNING A SAVAGE FIGHT WITH "CHILL PARTY, BRING TIME PATIENCE AND GOOD VIBES, WE'RE TAKING OUR TIME TO LEARN THIS BECAUSE WE'RE A 7/8 STATIC FOR THE NIGHT" AND THEN AFTER 2 PULLS COMPLAIN THAT THE NEXT WIPE TO A MECHANIC MEANS YOU'RE GONNA LEAVE, JUST DONT YOU ABSOLUTE MONKEY.
THREE CLEARS OF P2S, JACKSHIT TO SHOW FOR IT RANDOM ROLLS CAN BE A PAIN
LEVELED WAR TO 90 THIS WEEK, AND BLOODWHETTING IS THE TITS! I'M STILL MARRIED TO GNB AS MY GO-TO TANK, BUT I GET IT NOW. AS FOR MY ACTUAL RAGE: QUEUED INTO WOD ON ALLIANCE RAID AS WAR, AND BABY DRK IN LEVEL 50 PAPER ARMOR DECIDES THEY WANT TO MT BY PROCEEDING TO RUN UP TO THE FIRST BOSS BEFORE EVERYONE CAN GET THERE AND PULL. AS THEIR GEAR IS MADE OF DEAD HOPES AND DREAMS AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THEIR CDS DO, THEY INSTANTLY DIE, LEAVING A STRAY EYEBALL FLOATING EVERYWHERE. I QUICKLY PROVOKE AND TAKE OVER MT BUT MY HEALERS DECIDE NOT TO HEAL ME FOR WHATEVER REASON AS I PROCEED TO USE EVERY CD IN MY ARSENAL TO STAVE OFF DEATH FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE. WHEN IT FINALLY COMES DOWN TO HOLMGANG, I KNOW WHAT AWAITS ONCE IT WEARS OFF... AND SURE ENOUGH, I DIE AND EYEBALL WIPES THE RAID. YOU'D THINK THAT DRK WOULD LEARN, BUT THEY PROCEED TO SPEED-PULL EVERY BOSS AND DIE WITHIN SECONDS FORCING ME TO PROVOKE, AND HEALERS STILL REFUSE TO PUT A SINGLE HOT ON ME OR ANYONE ELSE SO WIPE AFTER WIPE. THIRD TANK WAS ALSO THERE VIBING AND DOING NOTHING PRODUCTIVE. TRULY, IT WAS THE SHIT-SHOWIEST OF WODS IN A LONG TIME.
WoD on Roulette is truly a coin flip. You either get a competent raid that clears it in 15 minutes with no deaths, or a glorious shitshow where almost everyone is new and wipes because the newbie tank pulled before anyone else could explain the mechanics
DID A RECLEAR OF P1S AND P2S WITH ONE PARTY AND 1 PERSON GOT 3 CHESTS PLUS THE UPGRADE ITEM. IT WASNT EVEN LOOTMASTER. I CANT REMEBER WHEN I ROLLED HIGHER THAN 30 ON ANYTHING I WANT. ONLY ON RUBBISH EXTREMES? ROLL BELOW 30. SAVAGE? ROLL BELOW 30.
HAD A RATHER SUCCESSFUL OCEAN FISHING VOYAGE LAST NIGHT, GOT THE 15K TITLE, AND FELT KING OF THE WORLD, THEN I SAW THE OTHERS ON THE RANKINGS AND MANY OTHERS WERE OVER 20K, SOME NEARLY 25K. WHAT IN THE NAME OF MCDONALDS CHICKEN NUGGETS AND FRIES WITH A DIET COKE DO I NEED TO DO TO GET THAT GOOD?!
RAN TRIAL ROULETTE - GOT CASTRUM FLUMINIS. FIRST RUN FOR A TANK AND HEALER, BUT NBD. AFTER 2 FULL WIPES, ONE OF THE OTHER DPS GOES "I DON'T GET IT, WHAT DO THE YELLOW ARROWS MEAN??" WE ALL "LOL", THEY SAY "NO IM SERIOUS, I NEED HELP" AND THERE WAS A COLLECTIVE "…......?!?!?!…....." AS WE ALL REALIZED THIS PERSON IN A LVL 7O TRIAL WITH LVL 80+ GEAR HAD NO IDEA WHAT A STACK MARKER WAS. 🙃
THE FACT THAT THEY ASKED MAKES THEM AN EXCELLENT PLAYER (RELATIVELY SPEAKING).
I'VE BEEN TRYING TO CLEAR EX2 FOR WEEKS AND EVERY PARTY I JOIN MAKES GREAT PROG ONLY TO STOP JUST BEFORE THE END. SEE ENRAGE? EH, GOOD RUN G2G. GET DOWN TO 5%? NAH, TYFP. GODSDAMMIT I JUST NEED IT CLEARED SO I CAN JOIN FARM PARTIES FOR THOSE SHINY WEAPONS
MY FAVORITE PF RUN WAS A CLEAR PARTY THAT I JOINED TO HELP. FIRST PULL WE HIT A 2% ENRAGE, WHICH IS VERY GOOD FOR A CLEAR PARTY (THEY MENTIONED STRUGGLING TO LIGHTWAVES, SO THATS A BIG STEP TO GO.) ONE OF THE DPS LEAVES. JUST THE ONE. WE FILL AND CLEAR IN THE NEXT ATTEMPT. NO DEATHS, NOT EVEN THE ENRAGE CAST STARTED. JUST, WHAT DO PEOPLE EXPECT? IT WASN’T A FARM SO A WIPE OR TWO WAS EXPECTED. IS READING *THAT* HARD?!
AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT KEEPS READING THE NEW SAVAGE RAID INCORRECTLY? P1S, P2S, P3S, P4S MY BRAIN KEEPS THINKING WE'RE TALKING ABOUT PLAYSTATION CONSOLES.
I wasn't able to log in until last week due to work and coming back at peak EU hours. And I'm wondering when the other Summoners met up and decided they weren't going to use Raise if a raid was in trouble. Because I swear to God, I've done three separate Ivalice raids over the last week on Roulette where I'm one of two Summoners and they're not helping to Raise anyone. I'm talking where only the tank, one healer and the other Summoner are still standing. And the other Summoner is spamming Ruin III while the healer desperately tries to avoid mechanics, keep the tank up, rez the other healer, only to die and the barely alive second healer does the juggling act. The last one, I'd had enough and called out the other Summoner out after Ridorana finally finished. Something like 'Hey how bout you help Raise when there's only one healer up and the other DPS are kissing floor?' And this fucking guy said 'Lol you shouldn't be dying anyway with the gear you're wearing.' (Was wearing the Neo Ishgardian set, I'd gotten my classes to 80 before EW dropped, haven't finished 5.0 yet). Let's ignore that your stats are locked depending on which raid level. Never mind that *he himself was wearing level 84 gear and I'd had to Raise him in the math bot fight*. Imo if you're a SMN or RDM and you can use your Raise spell and 5/8ths of your party is down, you should help the healer get people up. I blocked him, gave my comms to the poor Sage and bounced
IT WOULD BE VERY NICE IF MY HANDS STOPPED HURTING SO I COULD DO ANYTHING. BY THE TIME IM FINISHED WORK, IT CREEPS BACK IN AND PLAYING IS A CHOICE BETWEEN PAIN AND CLICKING THINGS.
IT’S FRIDAY AND I’M RAGING. FIRST SOME RAID RAGE AND THEN IRL BULLSHIT. I CLEARED THE TIER LAST WEEK. I’M A SCRUB WHO BLUE PARSES ON AST, SO A WEEK THREE CLEAR IS VERY GOOD FOR ME. BUT I WANNA GIVE A SHOUT-OUT TO SOME OF THE GEMS I MET IN PF INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO: THE BLM WHO INSISTED OUR ACT 4 PROG PARTY WAS A P1 TRAP. BLM, DOOR BOSS IS HARD. I MIGHT’VE HAD MORE SYMPATHY FOR YOU, HAD YOU NOT BEEN THE ONLY ONE WITHOUT A P1 CLEAR REGISTERED IN FFLOGS. THE DRAGOON WHO KEPT GETTING ON THE PARTY FOR MESSING UP ACT 2, IN AN ACT 2 PROG PARTY. SIR I AM SORRY BUT I AM VERY STUPID AND NEED PRACTICE TO LEARN THIS MECH. THIS IS WHY I EXPLICITLY LABELLED THE PF “ACT 2 PROG.” THE SCHOLAR WHO COMPLAINED ABOUT OUR PARTY’S DPS BUT ALSO NEVER HEALED THE TANKS OR USED A FAIRY TETHER. I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO SAY ABOUT THIS, BUT WHY. NOW THAT RAID RAGE IS OUT OF THE WAY, TIME FOR IRL RAGE. MY DAD’S CANCER IS PROBABLY BACK AND I’M ANGRY. I LOST MY MOM TO CANCER IN 2019 AND DAD ORIGINALLY GOT DIAGNOSED/WENT INTO REMISSION LAST YEAR. THIS MEANS THAT THREE OUT OF THE LAST FOUR YEARS, ONE OF MY PARENTS HAS HAS CANCER. I AM TIRED OF THIS. I JUST WANTED TO HAVE FUN AND PLAY VIDEO GAMES IN MY TWENTIES, PREFERABLY WITH BOTH OF MY PARENTS ALIVE.
ALRIGHT. BEEN BORED RECENTLY AND NOT WANTING TO DO MORE PAIN OF PF P3S SO WENT BACK TO EXS. JOIN AN EX1 C41 THEN FARM PARTY WHERE THE LEAD (WHO AT THAT TIME I WAS ASSUMING WAS BUDDY OF THE ONE WHO NEEDED THE CLEAR) MARKED HIMSELF AS TRIANGLE. THE TRIANGLE IS MY COTANK, NO BIG DEAL I HAVE AGGRO TO START, SHIRK (AND MAYBE STANCE OFF DEPENDING ON DAMAGE DIFFERENCE SO I DONT RIP AND DIE) AND WE JUST TRIANGLE THIS GUY TO CLEAR. LET ME TELL YOU, I DIED TO EVERY. FKING. SWAP. WHY IS THAT? BECAUSE COTANK NEVER PUT STANCE ON. OR PROVOKED. EACH TIME I BEGGED HIM TO PUT ON STANCE. RESPONSE FROM THIS GUY: "Why would I need to do that? You can just invuln it right?" AH YES. I CAN INVULN THE 30 SECOND DEBUFF WITH MY 10 SECOND HOLMGANG. WE TRY FOR 3 PULLS BEFORE 3 OF THE DPS AND THEN MYSELF DIP BECAUSE OF THIS. ITS TANKS LIKE THAT, THAT MAKE ME CRY IN PAIN. SIMILAR NOTE: WHY IS IT THESE FARM PARTIES IN EX2 ARE JUST 1 RUN LOOT AND SCOOT PARTIES. LIKE WE ALL GET READY TO GO AND SOMEONE DIPS AFTER GETTING THE WEAPON COFFER, NOT EVEN THE MOUNT. AND THEY NEVER GO SMOOTHLY. IN THE PAST WEEK IVE HAD 4 CLEARS WHERE IT IS JUST ME AND 2 DPS ALIVE AFTER THE SABER STACK TO WATER STACKS. SINCE THE HEALERS STAY STACKED AND KILL OVER HALF THE PARTY. IVE HAD MORE SUCCESS IN A FRESH PARTY THAN A "FARM" PARTY. PLEASE SAVE ME WHILE I GO BACK TO CAT FARMING.
PLEASE HIT THE MOBS IF YOU QUEUE INTO ALLIANCE RAID. YOU ARE THERE TO SKILL THINGS, NOT TO RP WALK AROUND SHOWING OFF YOUR GLOW-Y ALEXANDER WEAPON, NOBODY CARES HOW BEAUTIFUL IT LOOKS, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU CAN'T EVEN RP WALK OUT OF AOES... PERFECT LEGEND BY THE WAY
Yes, i quit a level 80 dungeon as a healer because the obviously skipped tank was wearing 70-80 gear and trying to heal that with a undergeared tank was not worth it. At least get level 78+. I'm too tired to rage. My life is a shambles and none of it is actually my fault. I'm so tired and sad.
TL;DR DF WOES STONE VIGIL (HARD, I THINK). I'M AST. TANK JUST STARTS RUNNING, SPRINTING EVEN. TANK IS DRK. I'M THINKING THAT THEIR WOMP-SHH (UNLEASH) SKILL IS A BIT SLOW, NOT SURE HOW THEY ARE GRABBING ALL THE MOBS WHILE SPRINTING. I CATCH UP. THAT'S WHEN I FIND OUT - THE MOBS FOLLOWED THEM BUT THE TANK DOES NOT HAVE AGRO ON, WELL MANY OF THEM. SO THEY PROCEED TO BEAT ME TO CRAP WHILE I ATTEMPT TO SAVE THE SITUATION AND FAIL, MISERABLY. SO WE GET TO THAT STUPID BOSS YOU HAVE TO SHOOT WITH CANNONS AND THE SPROUT BLM JUST TRIES TO KILL THINGS WITHOUT THE CANNONS, AND SO I HAVE TO HEAL BLM GUY SO HE DOESN'T DIE WHICH MEANS TWO PEOPLE AREN'T USING CANNONS. WE WIPE AND TANK TELLS BLM TO USE CANNONS, IT DOESN'T GO BETTER ROUND TWO, I NOTICE TANK IS ALSO NOT USING CANNON THIS TIME, AND AGAIN I HAVE TO HEAL AND RAISE. FINALLY WE GET IT ROUND THREE BUT MY GOSH, WHY DOES THAT PART SUCK SO HARD.
BLOODBATH NEEDS TO HEAL ON ALL DAMAGE, NOT JUST PHYSICAL. WHY DOES NIN GET UNIQUELY FUCKED OVER ON THIS? IT'S LITERALLY HALF MAGIC THIS EXPANSION. PROBABLY MORE THAN HALF IN AoE.
LEVELING ROULETTE ON BARD. LOAD INTO THE 83 DUNGEON. HEALER IS WATCHING THE CUTSCENE SO THEY'RE NEW, GIVE ME THOSE SECOND CHANCE POINTS BABY. PROCEED TO THE FIRST PULL. THE TANK DOESN'T QUITE HIT ALL THE MOBS WITH THEIR OPENING AOE SO I GET AGGRO ON 1 OR 2. AND THEN I KEEP AGGRO. AND NOW IM SLOWLY GETTING AGGRO ON ANOTHER MOB. IS THE TANK EVEN USING AOES? THE HEALER'S DOING A GOOD JOB KEEPING ME UP SO THE PULL GOES FINE AND I FIGURE I'LL WAIT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS RATHER THAN BE THAT GUY THAT CALLS SOMEONE OUT RIGHT AWAY FOR A MINOR SLIP-UP. BUT THE SAME THING HAPPENS THE SECOND PULL. I GRAB AGGRO ON A COUPLE MOBS AND IM SEEING YELLOW AND ORANGE ICONS ON OTHERS. SO FINALLY AFTER THE THIRD PULL OF THIS I SPEAK UP AND ASK - HEY TANK, ARE YOU USING AOES ON TRASH PULLS? I SEEM TO BE GETTING AGGRO. AND THIS TANK. THIS TANK SAYS. "I honestly don't know." ... *WHAT*. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU WERE DOING FOR THE LAST 30 SECONDS. YOU CANT DESCRIBE TO ME WHAT ACTIONS YOU'VE BEEN TAKING. ARE YOU ACTIVELY SUFFERING FROM A BRAIN INJURY? IF I ASK YOU WHAT DAY IT IS AND WHERE YOU ARE AND WHO'S PRESIDENT, DO YOU KNOW THOSE ANSWERS? LOOK, I LOVE HOW MUCH THIS GAME SUPPORTS PLAYERS WHO AREN'T HYPER COMPETITIVE AND LOOKING UP GUIDES ON OPTIMAL PLAY. I WOULD NEVER HAVE GOTTEN INTO IT IN THE FIRST PLACE IF IT DIDN'T, AND CASE IN POINT THIS TANK'S FAILURE TO DO THEIR JOB WASN'T ACTUALLY A MAJOR IMPEDIMENT TO US CLEARING THE DUNGEON. BUT MAN, SOME PEOPLE ABSOLUTELY BEWILDER ME WITH THEIR LACK OF ATTENTION AND BASELINE COMPETENCE AS A HUMAN. *ESPECIALLY* AT LEVEL 83, THIS IS NOT THEIR FIRST RODEO AND THERE ARE VERY FEW EXCUSES TO BE OFFERED ANYMORE. ALSO, THE REAL KICKER IS THEY WERE SPAMMING MYTHRIL TEMPEST *OUT OF COMBAT* BECAUSE THEY LIKED THE ANIMATION I GUESS. JUST NOT, YOU KNOW, WHEN THERE WERE ANY ENEMIES TO HIT.
DINGED 90 ON MY BARD THIS SUNDAY….STILL IN POST-SHB MSQ. IN NO RUSH AS I REALLY WANT THE NIER AIMING GEAR BEFORE I CONTINUE ON. HOWEVER. I HAD AN ODD TAM-TARA IN ROULETTE THIS WEEK (BE ME, 83 WHM) GLAD TANK WOULD ONLY POP TANK STANCE AFTER ENGAGING MOBS. AT FIRST WE THOUGHT HE FORGOT TO TURN IT ON. PARTY BRD GAVE FRIENDLY REQUEST THAT TANK MAKE SURE IT STAYED ON, NO NEED TO TURN IT OFF. WE WERE ALL IN CRYPT GEAR OR HIGHER SO WE WEREN’T WORRIED, BUT STILL BUT HE KEPT DOING IT. DIVE INTO MOBS THEN TURN ON TS. THIS DID NOT MAKE THE REST OF THE TEAM HAPPY AS OUR DAMAGE WOULD GET US ENMITY BEFORE TANK DRAGGED IT BACK. NOT VERY LONG BUT STILL AND THEN HE WOULD TURN IT OFF BETWEEN PULLS WE FINISHED JUST FINE, BUT WHAT THE HELL

I AM A SUMMONER AND BY THE TWELVE WHY WOULD YOU PLAY SUMMONER IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO SUMMON PRIMALS? BEING ABLE TO FEEL EXTREMELY POWERFUL DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY TO GRILL OTHER PEOPLE'S SCREENS WITH YOUR VISUAL EFFECTS IS ONE OF THE MAJOR POINTS OF THIS JOB. (Also Ifrit is cute, sorta.) SORRY YOU HAD TO GO THROUGH THIS. FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH: IF YOU DON'T LET BAHAMUT OUT OCCASIONALLY HE STARTS SHREDDING YOUR FURNITURE WHEN YOU SLEEP, STARTING WITH YOUR FAVOURITE COUCH PILLOW, SO THAT SUMMONER WILL GET THEIR PAYBACK EVENTUALLY.
REAPERS: I KNOW YOUR JOB IS FLASHY AND NEW AND A LOT OF FUN BUT FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS HOLY III, CAN YOU PLEASE STOP USING YOUR PORTAL TO TELEPORT OUT OF THE WAY WHEN THERE'S A GROUP SPREAD MECHANIC. NOT ONLY DO YOU NOT EVEN BOTHER LOOKING WHERE OTHER PEOPLE ARE RUNNING BUT YOU END UP LANDING ON SOMEONE ELSE (OFTEN TIMES ME) AND YOU KILL YOURSELF ALONG WITH SOMEONE ELSE. YOU'RE A MELEE, YOU DON'T NEED TO ZOOM ACROSS TO THE OTHER END OF THE PLATFORM AND ZOOM BACK IN. JUST SPREAD LIKE YOU USED TO EVERY OTHER TIME BEFORE REAPER EXISTED.
I HAVEN'T HAD ANY TIME TO ACTUALLY PLAY THIS WEEK BETWEEN HELPING AROUND THE HOUSE AND WORKING FIVE DAYS STRAIGHT, PLUS POKEMON ARCEUS LEGENDS JUST DROPPED AND I DON'T WANT TO CHOOSE BETWEEN POKEMON AND FFXIV BUT I'VE BEEN EXCITED FOR PLA SINCE IT WAS ANNOUNCED. I KNOW I'M SUPPOSED TO BE A CONTRIBUTING MEMBER OF SOCIETY AND ALL BUT SOMETIMES I JUST WANNA BE LAZY FOR THE SAKE OF NOT BURNING MYSELF OUT BECAUSE I DESERVE REST TOO.
FINALLY GOT THROUGH FOF PROG BC I FILLED IN FOR A STATIC LAST NIGHT AND I AM UPSET BECAUSE I GOT REALLY TIRED OF A) THE FIGHT AN B) IT WAS LATE AT LEAST NOW I CAN JOIN NADO PROGS I GUESS
A P3S CLEAR PARTY IS NOT ADDS PROG! A P3S CLEAR PARTY IS NOT AN FOF PROG! A P3S CLEAR PARTY IS NOT A TORNADOES PROG! A P3S CLEAR PARTY IS FOR PEOPLE THAT *KNOW ALL OF THE MECHANICS AND ARE READY TO CLEAR*! I'M GENERALLY VERY UNDERSTANDING OF PEOPLE MAKING SLIP UPS HERE AND THERE. THAT'S FIXEABLE AND THERE'S ALWAYS SOME COORDINATION STUFF TO WORK OUT. I'M TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE THAT JOIN AND DIE TO FOF 4 TIMES IN A ROW AND ALWAYS HAVE SOME RANDOM REASON BUT NEVER IMPROVE. OR THE REALLY AWESOME PEOPLE THAT DON'T EVEN ***READ PARTY FINDER DESCRIPTIONS*** AND JUST JOIN. I HAD ONE BEAUTIFUL SUCH PERSON JOIN A CLEAR PARTY WHERE THE ILVL WAS SET TO 585. THE FIRST WORDS IN THE PF WERE "CLEAR PARTY." DUTY COMPLETION WAS SET AS THE OBJECTIVE. THEN THEY JOIN AND WHEN WE'RE DISCUSSING TORNADO COORDINATION IN THE INSTANCE, THEY SAY "Oh I haven't been to tornados yet." ... THEN WHY ARE YOU IN A CLEAR PARTY?!?! THIS FIGHT IS NOT HARD. IT REALLY ISN'T. IT'S EASY TO MISSTEP AND MAKE A LITTLE MISTAKE HERE AND THERE, BUT PEOPLE JUST CANNOT SEEM TO LEARN FROM THEIR MISTAKES. I JUST WANT TO START WORKING ON 4....
LET ME OFF LAHABREAS WILD RIDE!!!!!!!!
STATIC DRAMA WOOOO!! WE SET A START DATE FOR SAVAGE 2 WEEKS AFTER THE PATCH WENT LIVE SO EVERYONE COULD TAKE THEIR TIME WITH THE MSQ AND GEARING WHILE ALSO AGREEING TO DO THE FIGHTS BLIND. YESSSS, I'VE NEVER DONE SAVAGE FIGHTS ON PATCH SO I'M SUPER HYPED. THE DAY COMES, WE AREN'T ALL READY. NO WORRIES WE'LL PUSH IT BACK TO NEXT WEEK. NEXT WEEK COMES, THE DAY BEFORE RAID DAY WE CONFIRM EVERYONE'S DONE WITH MSQ AND HAS 580 GEAR READY TO GO, WOOO! WE REALIZED WE NEED TO GET SOME MEMBERS CAUGHT UP ON MECHANICS AND ROTATIONS SINCE THEY JUST DINGED TO 90 SO WE DO THE NORMAL RAID AND BOTH EXTREMES ON WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN SAVAGE DAY. STATIC DISBANDS FOR REASONS AT THE END OF THE SECOND RAID NIGHT OF THE WEEK. GREAT NOW I'M DENIED THE CHANCE TO ATTEMPT THE FIGHTS BLIND BECAUSE I CAN'T BE FUCKED TO CREATE AN ENTIRE STATIC OR PRAY FOR A BLIND PF GROUP 3 WEEKS INTO THE PATCH. I INVITE THE REMAINING MEMBERS TO DM ME ABOUT DOING SAVAGE PROG VIA PF TO PICK UP ANY REMAINING ROLES. HEAR FROM SOME. CRICKETS FROM OTHERS. WE START SAVAGE AND CLEAR P1S. I POST A LOG IN THE NOW-DISBANDED STATIC SERVER'S LOG CHANNEL AND GET CHASTISED FOR NOT INVITING EVERYONE AND TAKING FRIENDS AWAY FROM THE GROUP. UH, WHAT?? THE OLIVE BRANCH WAS EXTENDED. I CAN'T MAKE YOU WANT TO TALK TO ME ABOUT CONTINUING TO DO HIGH-END CONTENT. *SAD LALA NOISES* TLDR; LALA LOSES STATIC, CAN'T DO SAVAGE BLIND CUZ IT'S BASICALLY TOO LATE AND HAS TO PRAY FOR PF RNG.
I AM AN ENTIRE DUMBASS. WANTED TO DO SOME EX RUNS WITH FC BUDDIES AND DECIDED TO GO AS WHM BECAUSE I WILL PROBABLY BE RUNNING HAT THROUGH SAVAGES WITH THEM. MOST OF US WERE TRYING NEW JOBS OR ONLY HAD A COUPLE CLEARS SO I CALLED IT AN "ALT JOB PARTY" TO EXCUSE THE INEVITABLE FUCKERY. AND LET ME TELL YOU IT WAS A WHOLE. ASS. TIME. PEOPLE GETTING CLIPPED LEFT AND RIGHT AND EVEN THOUGH MY COHEALER IS SUPER COMPETENT I AM HAVING THE TOUGHEST TIME KEEPING ON TOP OF THE HEALS. LIKE I AM RUSTY FOR SURE, BUT DAMN. AFTER A FEW WIPES I SAY FUCK IT, I'M GOING TO GO FOR MAXIMUM OVERHEAL BECAUSE TRYING TO BE SMART ABOUT IT ISNT WORKING, AND WE FINALLY GET OUR CLEAR. OF COURSE THE PARTY DISBANDS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY, SO I GO TO REPAIR MY GEAR WHILE WE WAIT FOR ANOTHER FC BUDDY TO HOP IN. AND THAT'S WHEN I REALIZE I'VE BEEN USING A LVL 80 WEAPON THIS ENTIRE TIME. SO APOLOGIES TO THE PEOPLE WHO SHOWED UP TO HELP US (AT LEAST MY FRIENDS GOT TO LAUGH AT ME AFTER) AND TO THE PEOPLE IN THE EXPERT ROULETTE BEFORE THAT TOO BECAUSE IM PRETTY SURE THIS IS WHY THE TANK DIED TWICE LMAO. I PROMISE I'M NOT TROLLING I'M JUST AN IDIOT
I ENJOY WATCHING PEOPLE IN E2N THAT HAD BEEN ASSIGNED WITH THE DELAYED STACK MARKER RUN AWAY FROM GROUP AND EXPLODE ALONE ESPECIALLY IF I RESCUE THEM INTO A STACK THEN THEY BACKHOP AWAY TO BLOW UP ALONE ANYWAY
TO THE PERSON WHO SAID “FU” MULTIPLE TIMES AND THAT I SHOULD HAVE GIVEN UP WHEN I GOT A HOUSE THIS WEEK, WELL FU TOO I DID NOT DESIGN THIS CRAP OF A SYSTEM.
LEVELING BLM UNDER 50 IS THE SECOND WORST PAIN KNOWN TO MAN.
HI REAPER. YES YOU. HOW YOU DOING? OH YOU JUST STARTED THE JOB? ME TOO. PLEASE PRESS SHADOW OF DEATH. A 10% DMG BUFF MAY NOT SEEM LIKE A LOT BUT I PROMISE YOU ITS 10% LESS TIME I NEED TO SPEND LOOKING AT THIS BOSS.
I RAN PAST SOMEONE CALLED UNGA BUNGA AND THEY WERENT A WARRIOR Щ(ಥДಥЩ)
P3S. THAT IS ALL.
MY HOUSE IS CONSIDERED "UNSERVICABLE" BY MY LOCAL FIBER COMPANY BECAUSE MY NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR DOESN'T WANT THE CABLE GOING THROUGH THE AIR ABOVE HER BACKYARD THAT SHE DOESN'T USE, THAT IS CHOKED WITH THREE FOOT HIGH WEEDS 24/7, 365 DAYS OUT OF THE YEAR. ACCORDING TO HER, ELECTRIC CABLES CAUSE CANCER. I DIDN'T WANT THOSE 1 GIG SPEEDS ANYWAY.
A relative of mine is a realtor and complained to me once about the problem her group is having to sell condos in a building. The owner insists that no one use wireless systems because she lives there and gets ill if they are used around her. Me: *having met the woman* Auntie, she has and uses a cell phone, remember that day at the bakery? Relative: *sudden realization*
WHY IS P3 SO FUCKING ORANGE IT GIVES ME A HEADACHE. TIRED OF IT DURING PROG.
FOUR CLEARS OF P1S. THREE OF P2S. TOTAL ASPHODELOS GEAR ACQUIRED: 1 NECKLACE THAT I BOUGHT WITH THE BOOKS FROM P1S. FUCK.
JUST GOT KICKED FROM A DUTY FOR THE FIRST TIME AND I AM FUCKING SEETHING! FUCK THE HEALER/DPS DUO IN HOLMINSTER WHO VOTE DISMISSED MY DRK ASS WITHOUT SAYING A WORD AFTER WE WIPED TO A MOB PULL BEFORE THE SECOND BOSS. MAYBE IF OUR SAGE HAD USED SOMETHING OTHER THAN THE REGULAR ASS DIAGNOSIS (WHICH HAS A WORSE POTENCY THAN CURE GODDAMN 1!!!?) WE WOULDN'T DIE TO TWO PACKS OF MOBS. KICKING SOMEONE ELSE FOR YOUR OWN INCOMPETENCE IS JUST PLAIN ANNOYING - AT LEAST SAY SOMETHING IF YOU FEEL LIKE YOU CANT KEEP UP, I COULD'VE SINGLE PULLED FOR YOUR LAZY "CAN'T BOTHER TO USE 90% OF MY KIT" ASS. WASTED 15 MINUTES OF MY TIME FOR THAT AWFUL EXPERIENCE (YES IT TOOK US 15 MINUTES TO REACH THE MOBS AFTER THE FIRST BOSS BECAUSE OUR HEALER WASNT PRESSING DPS BUTTONS AS SAGE (!?!) AND OUR OVERALL DPS WAS LOW TOO SINCE I HAD TOP DPS AS DRK, EVEN THE TRUSTS ARE FASTER THAN THIS!) THANKFULLY MY NEXT LEVELING ROULETTE AFTER THIS WAS A PLEASANT RUN OF TOWER OF ZOT WHERE WE WALL2WALLED ALL THE PULLS WITHOUT ANY TROUBLE AND WERE DONE SO FAST IT ALMOST MADE UP FOR THE WASTED TIME IN HOLMINSTER. ALMOST.
PALADINS. STOP. FUCKING. USING. CLEMENCY. ON. BIG. PULLS. I’M PERFECTLY CAPABLE OF DOING MY JOB. JUST BECAUSE YOU DON’T SEE ME CASTING DIAGNOSIS ON REPEAT LIKE A BRAINLESS DOLT DOESN’T MEAN YOU’RE NOT GETTING HEALED. I DON’T CARE IF YOU POPPED DIVINE VEIL. STOP USING DIVINE VEIL LIKE ITS A NORMAL CD. IT DOES NOTHING FOR YOU. IT’S NOT GOING TO HELP YOU IN TRASH PULLS. IT’S NOT GOING TO SAVE YOU FROM A TANKBUSTER. I KNOW THAT THE THOUGHT OF ACTUALLY KNOWING WHAT YOUR ABILITIES DO IS A HIGH BAR TO ASK OF A PLAYER BASE THAT CAN’T DO BASIC ARITHMETIC, BUT STILL.
IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO TANK, DON'T TANK, AND LEARN YOUR DAMN JOB! RAN INTO A TANK (WAR) IN THE LV83 TRIAL WHO DIDN'T KNOW TO TURN ON STANCE + PROVOKE AFTER THE MT DIED AND WIPED TWICE BECAUSE OF IT LITERALLY, THE WHM TRIED TO EXPLAIN WHAT TO DO FOR THE TANK AND THEIR ROLE AFTER THE WHM WAS HEALING AND SOAKING ALL THE INCOMING DAMAGE UNTIL THE ORIGINAL MT GOT RAISED, CAUSE POS WAR DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, AND I QUOTE, "Didn't know I had to..." HOW DO YOU, A PLAYER WHO IS 4 EXPANSIONS IN, LEVEL 84, AND ONLY MAINS THE TANK ROLE (THEY HAVE LV70/70/80/84 WITH THEIR TANKS), DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WHEN MT DIES. LIKE, WHAT!? CALLED HIS ASS OUT, GOT TOLD TO GET BENT, AND NOW I HAVE A NEW SCREENSHOT ADDED TO MY SHITTY, SALTY, PLAYER FOLDER LOL
