Tales from Duty Finder: Some make you laugh, some make you cry. Let's vent. 2.0

After 5 days in a row getting World of Darkness via Alliance Roulette, I finally had enough of it and decided to eat the 30m penalty while I afk. Come back later to queue and I got... a clown fiesta Orbonne ;)! I live for this chaos

Queued into Orbonne. Whole alliance wrecked the bosses, even with a couple deaths from minor mistakes.

Ultima? Got killed before she released her Redemption Mechanic (Labyrinth). We skipped Labyrinth, and I didn't know that was possible until then. Everyone must have been DPSing really well. x) I think that was a 20ish minute run for an alliance raid, which was surprisingly fast.

Got a curebot and single target black mage in Prae earlier.

I got the tanks comm. Probably for actually aoeing.

I just witnessed a WoD slaughter.

I mean most people there were sprouts who didn't know mechanics anyways, but to top it all off there was some weird stuff going on with the tanks. Tanks decided to cleave the party multiple times by 5-headed, the person who was mting cere decided they wanted to be vored so a couple people got whacked before the only tank that didn't jump into the belly voked and then people started dying again as the adds started beating them up. Oh and someone pulled early on cloud lady while a third of the alliance was cutsceneing.

I really should just stay on my main character. All I have to do is log in and do BTs on that. I don't have to deal with this stress unless I force myself to.

It has been a month and half but felt ages since last A9N, gotta say it felt embarrassing wiping the whole party due to dragging the big mob in the lava, ops.

Always loving it when you start from bottom rock points in Frontline but because of your farmed battle highs early on, you won the match eventually from slaughtering two opposing sides where they stand.

This is why I personally think objectives in FLs are semi-traps.

Hey! Without objectives how would my alliance team mates know where to stand still in packs of at least 4, close to our base while the other teams take the lead?

Quick question, when's the last time anyone here wiped on A1N? Did anyone here even know A1N has an add phase that isn't the cloned bot that self-destructs? Because I sure didn't.

Had a run of Brayflox's Longstop as a Paladin. Didn't update my gear and i guess karma paid a visit. Scholar was only using Physick even after i asked to use Adlo. Both DPS seemed to distance themselves as far as possible from me and also pulled more. Good idea after several wipes... I finally exploded in chat. Scholar ignored the thing about Adlo but said he needed to heal himself because he had aggro. I suggested not staying 5 miles away from me and pulling enemies we could avoid. All in all horrible. Makes you wanna quit sometimes.

I was on voice chat with my static a while back and commented, "Did you know that the atomos in Labyrinth of the Ancients have an enrage? 'cause that was a thing I had sure forgotten until the other day."

My housemate -- another FFXIV player -- in the other room overheard this and was startled into an involuntary laugh so loud the people on voice could hear it through my mic.
