It's okay to get ahead of me. It's not okay to troll on this level and, like I said in my post, cause chaos.

So, please don't tell me to get over it. You don't know what's happening. This thread is for venting. I have as much of a right to vent as anyone else.

The way you worded it sounded like it was in general. It is on you to share your "story" if I don't know what's happening it is because you did not word it well enough. I also, said in the post you quoted in this case if they pull for you then it is justified. Next time relay your "tale" better, and nobody said you didn't have the right. I also have the right to criticize other posters, as they (actively) have criticized me. Again, I think getting over it is the best case scenario.

I just read your post, it is worded in general, and goes over different players. Did these healers pull for you every single time? If not, I think the best option would be, again look above.

Get into Innocence in Trial Roulette.

The following conversation happens.

"Oh no, it's a politician!"
"Get him! *Hands out torches and pitchforks*"
"Come here Boris"
"I dunno, the manbaby tantrums feels more like a Trump thing to me"
"Lol!murica"
"Don't care who he's more like, just kill his stupid ass!"
"LYNCH MOB! LYNCH LYNCH LYNCH"
"...Umm, guys?"

I was doing roulette today and we got that dungeon with Marlboro guys that put stacks on you that you have to cleanse. Cool, did it the other day, not too bad. Then my kids are trying to watch Netflix on their tablet, and for some reason it keeps smart casting to my TV, so my tv changes to Netflix like 5 times while I’m running the dungeon. :/

I never died, and since I play on PS4 the best I could was type ‘sry’ a few times because those other guys were out as soon as we killed the last boss. I can only imagine what they were thinking when that was happening. If y’all see this now you know.

First time doing The Dancing Plague and I gotta rant because this is my first experience with a multi-wipe vote abandon trial horror situation. I was expecting a bit of a horror show since ShB is kinda new still I guess, it's Duty Finder, and I've heard lots of horror stories about it.... and of course it went badly enough for a vote abandon after around 4 or 5 wipes lmao.

Now, I'm not blaming my co-healer because it takes more than one person to mess up to wipe that many times, and I definitely could have been faster with my instant heals, but oof. Dies to the AoE with the safe spot under Titania despite having ample time to move, hardcasts raise to rez a dps while our tanks die (I was already dead), doesn't use asylum/divine beni/tetra... ghghgh. Doesn't help that our DPS was hilariously low. And some of them stood in the star-shaped vine AoE and ate dirt...

Anyway, I don't even think Titania is that hard! My first try ended in failure but the mechanics seem easy to understand and not overwhelming. So that just makes multiple wipes seem all the more baffling to me.

Edit: oh my god I just filled for a group and we wiped a bunch of times and vote abanonded because low dps I AM NEVER GOING TO FINISH THIS

I think it's when theres alot of mechanics that happen at once that the brain just kind of auto pilots and doesnt process everything until seeing it happen many many times before it registers such as someone watching Bio Dome so much happens that most people don't even register that Tenacious D is in it as well until seeing it more than a few times.

Was doing Palace of the Dead earlier with a MCH who would wait at the Passage Portal for us to kill stuff to open it, so I said “please help us kill stuff to open the exit instead of waiting there” and he said “sorry but I’ll have to pass” so we instantly vote kicked him.

Seriously I would rather have someone who doesn’t feel 100% comfortable in their rotation or someone with low aetherpool vs someone not participating...

Let us proceed carefully.

on topic

Orbonne Monastary

New Player Bonus which totes cool with. explain the mechanics of mustadio group seems to get the dodge part down but not the gap to boss mech several people keep dying to it including our tank. okay we finish that... then we get to Agrias. explain those mechanics including never let tainted souls hit center and hit the untianted with sword.. my group warps in I start attacking tainted soul that appears... everyone else appearently cant read cause they whiff with the sword over and over till group wipe this was the third go at this point so I said screw it and took my 30 minutes.

So i think my insert today since I'm taking my week or so vacation from FF 14 (because god damnit I deserve one every few months.)

Gonna pose a question for yall, what makes a bad day bearable for you: Humor or trying to get the playful party banter?

Because I'll be honest I've had silent runs turn into silly ones with the right worded comments for failures, and I'd like to get some posts of times yall got that.
