The amount of stop and go I'm dealing with in the story of HW. Seriously my friend told me this is the best plot so far and right when I get into the plot of Nigghog I'm thrown randomly and forcefully into another sideplot out of nowhere. Like really video game? Let me get into the plot without jerking me out of it to see characters you can't keep dead. T.T I'm just started playing so I hope it gets better but the pacing is all over the place at the moment.
people made me angry. a lot. that's why I stopped raiding. that's why I switched servers and only play on my own now without FC or LS
When the job you main turns boring and unfun makes me mad
The game? No. People? Definitely.
"Insufficient Armoy Chest Space!"
Not in a long while, and it couldn't be attributed to the game by itself. I think the last time I was truly mad was back during Alphascape Savage. I had an alt that I moved servers, spent about 4 mil gil on HQ crafted and Pentamelding it. Another 500k or so on HQ food/pots, all so I could stand in as melee DPS on MNK for my buddy's raid group.
So I think it was week 2 or 3? His group had been stuck on O10S(Middy Savage), and I stood in for one of their melees, and we cleared it. Had a bit of trouble wrapping my head around their strat positioning for the Hot Tail combo with fireballs and the tether thing.
Well next week, they missing 3 static members, so I jump in with them reluctantly to do'em a solid. I'd been drinking and I let them know that. I wasn't like super duper wasted, but it was enough that I was feeling chatty and punchy. Whenever I play Monk I can't stand disengaging and that is the only job that alt has leveled, so I tend to eat mechs that I know that I can eat. Well, their SCH wasn't having it, but I was in no mood to kowtow to him, so I didn't. Well they wound up giving him lead cause none of them wanted to manage the PF, and one more raid member stepped out cause they weren't in the mood to fish PUGs. So we go in, SCH doesn't shield appropriately for the ult transition and we aren't topped, and he wipes us like that 4 times. I caused one wipe by dying once from doing my thing and eating a vuln stack to maintain uptime, mistimed my bloodbath/didn't get healing cause he was parse hounding. So I died. We got a 2% wipe. He kicked me for that. Ignored his own shitty mistakes and kicks me lol. Nevermind the 2 PUG DPS, one a BRD that is double weak, trailing behind doing like 1/3rd the DPS that me or the SAM are doing. I got in such a bad mood, it ruined my buzz. Ruined my night. I was angry about it for a few months. Heck, just remembering it makes me kinda mad. And my friend that I was helping didn't even back me up.
Beyond that I don't usually get mad. Just sad and disappointed. It's always from player interaction, never from the game itself. Course, you could say player interaction is part of the game... but ehh. Last disappointment fiesta was a Saint Mocianne's Arborteum where some GNB was trying to dual box his GF's character through without having her do anything. By the time I ponied up the vote kick the dungeon was almost over and the SAM stranger with me DC'd just before the vote kick resolved, so wound up just duoing the rest of the dungeon with the shitty GNB cause it was almost over by that point.
When I get piss off
- BLM stand in dangerous as want keep damn circle ( I hope SE remove circle and new buff. Don't need use circle)
- Player afk in alliance raid
- DPS pull early as Tank don't pull first
- When I get DC in dungeron/raid
- DDOS attack
- Tank or healer leave after started dungeon
The game never made me angry. On contrary, game is still making me happy after these long seven years...
People I meet can have effects on my happiness.
You can meet each and every kind of the bestiary that is, the average internet player. Smart people, or the rude player that is rude because he is, then talkative or silent party members. People who puts the finger at you at your smallest stray off the perfection they expect from everyone else (but them), or kind people that gives you advice when they see you in trouble.
I met all of the above. When I meet the bad, I cannot be anymore angry. I only can feel sympathy for them way of playing a game. I cannot be angry at them. The best I can do is ignore them.
The launch of Stormblood when we couldn't get past a particular instance for like 2 or 3 days straight.
This game? Not really.
The people who play it? Yes, alot.
