Alright, let's go higher level content this time, just remembered the worst colibri party leader I ever had.
This of course was post-level sync update.
The party leader is a DRK, the party is about level 55, we head out to the leypoint camp, and it's taken. We check the other viable camps in the area, taken. We switch zones, and check the camp outside the Nashmau docks from Whitegate. This one is open so we have to settle for this already poor choice of a camp.
Party starts, we're doing "okay", I believe I was on DNC and pulling. Then I begin noticing that the Dark Knight isn't weaponskilling. I do not say anything, and continue to observe. Then I notice...he isn't even landing hits... /facepalm. I don't say anything, as he's the leader. 5 minutes later, he weaponskills. ... He uses "Slice" and my fist goes through my skull cause not only does he use Slice, he does 0 damage (don't know how it landed). Thus begin the /tells to other party members about this atrocity. They all agree, he needs to go. Once I get everyone's consent/agreement (wasn't hard) we begin looking for a replacement for him. Soon as we find one, we all just completely stop. He begins wondering what the hell is going on. "Why'd you guys stop?" No one replies. We wait about 5-10 minutes for the replacement to get close and then do a simultaneous drop from his party and never say a word to him. He starts flipping out. So, we explain. Doesn't help. Let's just end it there, basically, he dies a lot (we even raise him once) after this point and theres lots of swearing as I stare at him in pity and tell him to go skill up.
Best (or worst?) part? He wasn't even the level sync. I was also out dding him as DNC about a hundred fold +.
Edit: Did I mention he was wearing the DRK af boots the whole time? -

Ok, talking about lack of skills...here's one zyeriis....
I used my "Sharpshot" automaton for the first time in a meripo (no skill level meant I didn't use him because I knew he couldn't hit) because the pt leader told me to. It was almost 3 hours into the party my automaton started hitting, and another 3 before he started doing damage. The second 3 hour gap was because each time he hit, he got a 0.5 skillup, and it took 3 hours with that before he was high enough skill wise to do damage.
The whole time I offered to pull out my capped valoredge, because not only could it hit, it could actually do damage. He said "nah, just use this time to skillup that sharpshot." -
03-24-2011, 04:44 PMRambusOhhh I did a pt munity like that too only i was a bit more public about it.Quote:

He saw on his own I wanted a bit more then what he had ( I requre at lest a tp set and a ws set since at 75 nyzul ile you can lack damage if everyone is not up to a standard). So he left, without a complaint. I do not mean to sound elitist in saying this but I have had bad drks before that did not gear properly and lost due to lack of damage. I was a bit picky when it came to gear on BLU and DRK for nyzul, those jobs where hit or miss, you got really good ones or really bad ones.
now back to my story
Pt was me war, PLD, THF, others.
the pt leader was PLD and i was told to voke for sata, so i said ok
Now birds and inchi does not mix well, i had to cast when I was on 2 or 1 shadow left or no hope in getting it up. So i would voke, and cast inchi and still get into like 50%- red hp so i started to watch closer in why instad of my timers.
Looking closely I saw the following:
the pld was duo boxing the thf
the thf was not casting utsusemi
the thf was auto running the mobs to mess up the sata ( this is how i knew it was duo boxing)
first i complain about the thf not casting utsusemi because that wastes mp, and messes me up because if the rdm or w/e is curing the thf I do not get cured waiting for the sata.
he said it was for evade skill ups and that he did not have tools or something to that effect and not having money. he then said it was not a big deal because he was not getting hit.
i try to tolerate this because I only had liek 1 hr left before school.
Then the auto running became more problem.
I started to complain about the auto running messing up sata or being to slow in sata thus was the reason i was almost dieing or did ( i think I did die once I do not remember)
he said I was too slow in voking ( I started to add a small delay to make them line up quicker)
eventually he kicks me out of the party and gets a new member.
I then sent tells to my replacement, and to the other party members, got them all to join me, got a brd for 6th.
He then tried to make a new party to camp on top of me that end up braking in like 30 mins because it sucked.
about 10 mins before i have to leave I get this tell (this was before that new party broke)
"hey is anyone leaving soon? this party really sucks"
I replay , yes you can replace me, I have to go soon anyway. (the war stayed in that other pt till it broke then waited for me till i had to go)
so they continue without me and sir gimp at duo boxing leaves the area after his second party broke.
short version : PLD and THF makes a party with me
gets a replacement for me/ kicks me that point
i have everyone join me ( so the other 4 + me is 5)
got brd for 6th
old leader makes a new party
someone in the new party asked me if anyone was leaving soon
that person took my spot.
I stole 5 of his members in total -

@Rambus
I feel absolutely no remorse for that mutiny. As he had a level 75 job, which he came back and tried to kill our mobs with and failed, miserably, and died repeatedly on, which is even more pathetic. There was no excuse for having a skill so far gimped that he didn't even have Dark Harvest in a level 55 ToAU bird camp and was party leader (the party set up was pretty sucky to boot). He died at our feet and we gave him a raise, he denied it and sat there for about 20 minutes, complaining that he didn't have time to skill up. Irony is amazing. -
03-24-2011, 05:20 PMRambusOh i understand, the thing is though if you sent him a tell , maybe he had GA leveled or something ( GA or axe is better but axe needs level 56) you might not have gone though that.Quote:

closer when he is about to leave he said he has a blue on the way, I told him to tell the blu no i found a rep already and told you ealier.
the blue mage comes anyway and starts to kill all our mobs. -.-
hmm no time to skill up? I don't why someone would play MNO with such limited time, though skill up issues need to be less atm. -

I was tanking a lvl43 crawlers nest party and after a while i noticed the whm wasnt removing the poison i had on. So i politely informed the whm i was poisoned and they repeatedly cast erase on me.
/facepalm ..for having to tell a lvl 43 whm that poisona gets rid of poison -

I'm sorry if (or Always)my English is different from in-game words.
I was in abyssea-Vunkerl with my friends.You know Helter-Skelter will explode if we use magic same element to the day.
I was there as BLM who didn't know that.The next moment,all we got 3000 damage,I saw all "0" on our HP gage.
---------
Cute one,not mine,but I thought it was so cute.
One day a little after NA version began,I was wearing a equip with my friend's signature.
One guy watched me and said."Why my name is on your cloth!?"(My friend's character name is common western name)
I had a hard time to explain him all of craft system.... -
03-24-2011, 07:50 PMZeroe
Everyones gotta learn sometime. As a 2011 player, I know I was lvl 10 war and didnt know the functions of provoke... More like thought provoking everything I saw in the Dunes would increase my skill chain...Yea...
Mob 1
Zeroe 0

A BST that at the beginning of the Valkurm Dunes party took control of a monster that killed him and the party leader.
Then, he tried to take a monster 3 other times which got himself killed and the party leader was killed again.
His monsters were also getting us like 50 EXP only, then he left party cause he was a failure with the party leader. -

Only thing i can think of is when a pt i was in had a pl in yhutunga and the lead and the pl both wanted to kill Overgrown Rose cuz they thot it was a boss(their words).I told them a "boss" checks as impossible to gauge not incredibly tough but noooooo. After PL hit it once he would call for help and tell us to fight it. He did that twice, I just watched then left pt.

I'm pretty sure I do something every day that makes someone facepalm.. >.>
One example, in Abyssea Attohwa, me and a 2 friends from the linkshell were duoing Aggressor Antlion. One friend was SMN90 and the other was BLM90 (me being SMN as well, but lv71.)
We were kiting the darn Ant, and my Garuda was supposed to keep the Ant busy when my friend's Garuda died or was Released (and my Garuda actually did sometimes!) So when I saw him Release his Garuda, I thought "Oh, we're probably pulling back for a reason! Release, quick!" (I have a phobia for doing something wrong,) I hit the Release Macro and at that moment realize that I maybe shouldn't have done that as the ant gets closer and closer.
Luckily we were able to pull right. We still lost, but not a 2nd time. Floored him the 2nd time!
And one day I was heading towards some LS friends who were camping a Tonberry NM in Abyssea. I didn't have the Confluxes in the area so I sneavis'd up and started running towards them with Carby out. What I didn't notice however, was that at a certain point Carby was no longer following me. However I noticed that as I arrived at the battle scene and as I looked back I saw an imp headed towards me in all it's glory, just having beaten my Carby to a pulp. ;_;
Ofcourse, once again, if I recall correctly, I got the whole team wiped.
OR! When we went to fight the pugils BCNM (shooting fish?), me and my dear SMN friend headed towards the burning circle, only to find out that I still had my old orb. I had forgotten that you don't get a new orb if you still have your old one.
Oh and by the way, this all comes from a lv71 SMN, though even today, at Lv90 SMN, I have at least 1-2 fails every day.
Sometimes it makes me feel like I'm perhaps not really made for this game, but the addiction and the rare "good job!" moments do make all the fails seem minimal.
I know two things though, 1.) I still have a lot more to learn, 2.) I love the Linkshell I'm in. I love every darn player in it, they're very kind and I thank them for all the patience they have with my often-facepalm moments.
(Also, P.S.: The above, is only a fraction of a fraction of the total of fails I've had over the years.) -

mmmm biggest facepalm moment... I don't really have one in my noobish days becuase my cousin was very strict that i not suck or be noobish, so i knew a lot before i even had a subjob XD I did have a facepalm moment the other day as 90thf in oldtown mavop though, i'm training gobs and bugbears (and bats because they come with the gobs) for alchemy mat drops when i attack one of the bugbears and ws it and it doesn't die... O.O? this thing just took a 1.8k DE to the face... wtf? oh shit thats an NM! *proceeds to kill it* damn... good thing my train ended there it could have killed me XD

Crawler's Nest party. 5 people in an ls invite me (A red mage) to heal. I come down and realize these crawlers aren't dying very fast...and they are reaaaally getting hammered by that thing. Turns out the highest lvl gear someone was wearing was lvl 12 harness....
When confronted about this, they said they had no gil and farming was too hard. Needless to say this red mage took his services elsewhere. EXP was abysmal and there weren't enough cures around to keep them alive. -
03-25-2011, 03:15 AMZyeriis
Caedarva Imp Party.
White Mage healer.
"Why aren't you healing us?"
"I'm silenced!"
"...Use an echo drop....you do have some don't you?"
"What's an echo drop?"
"It's like what we're about to do to you, except it removes silence, and is actually useful."
