I will personally raise anyone, pretty much no matter what, unless they are dying instantly and not even attempting to do mechanics(like standing perfectly still inside AoEs non-stop). I will always adjust my priority around to who I raise first, with tanks/healers/SMN/RDM being #1 100% of the time since they are usually able to assist with raises/keep enemies occupied while I get others up. However, there are times where I will decide my MP is better used to finish the fight than to raise people(we're talking the boss is about to die, and having the person respawn rather than come back with a debuff due to raising)Quote:

01-18-2023, 05:05 AMRenaltThey did a mini series called JourneyQuest. It's surprisingly good and the writing and everything increases exponentially between seasons. It just sucks they stopped right when it was getting REALLY good. I think you can find it on youtube...let me check...Quote:

Boyfriend was watching me play today so I got the itch to entertain him.
1. Smileton where I had the stupid idea to jump in as SCH. I have barely played it past level 80, so it took some remembering to figure out how to heal. We wiped at the start, mentor tank offered to go slowly, I accepted and apologized. Eventually though I got used to it somewhat and asked that they do the final pulls as big as they can.
2. Frontline. Actually landed in a winning team! It's so relaxing to play a DD and just do damage instead of throwing myself in as a Healer and getting focused. -
01-18-2023, 05:23 AMSlouchyBardI'll add it to the queue and watch Zardoz as an appetizer. If you like cheesy things to watch, let me know.Quote:

The thing is, I don't. People may or may not learn something new at any given moment. They could be genuine, or they could be saying it to fish for sympathy. Either way I won't know for sure. Do it, and prove it; then I'll decide after if I want to comply or use the door.Quote:
Does a message offered at the start that they are still learning make a difference? I've been seeing different opinions lately with the new raids about tolerance levels for people who die a lot and assumptions about whether people are really trying (but bad) or are just trying to coast along with little effort or attention. How would you tell the difference?
If the duty clears, I don't think it really matters.Quote:
Does it matter?
My expectation is so dirt-low that people literally have to be an ar$e and/or demand more out of me than what they deserve to get any sort of response.
The only personal exception to this sort of case is when dealing with single pulling tank in post StB and above-dungeon, as a healer. This is one pet peeve that I cannot guarantee I'll always deal with when they have 55 levels worth of experience of doing same thing over and over prior to reaching that point -

Sometimes you have a raid run that makes you feel top of the world.
You land every combo, you dodge every mechanic...you throw in a few good one liners and even get your drop.
Then we have days like today....
Dieing to simple mechanics, repeat messing up your rotation, and nothing drops for you.
Win some, lose some.
Shout out to the poor healer who dragged my sorry ass through new 24man today.
Not my best run

got complimented on my dirndl hat glam in a roulette today and that was really nice.
Hrothgar only have 3 hats that arent totally garbage (dirndl now, varsity flatcap, and yorha55 tank/maiming hat) so getting that compliment on my glam really made my day. -
01-18-2023, 12:18 PMSoge01You look like you have a meat bun on your head. I want a steamy meat bun hat now for my Hrothgar alt. ;^;Quote:

In Frontline today was... kinda wild, Seal Rock. Our team got bullied by both teams, it didn't help we started North.
We tried to fight near our base since there was a node but got flanked, we retreated, pushed back and resume to get a node. Once again we got flanked and we had almost no point vs the others already at 200-300+
We got to a point we were just fed up and ended up on a killing spree to the point we managed to get a full comeback and win, my team all max battle high. It was... satisfying.
