The dungeon with orbs and pedestals is Sunken Temple of Quarn (Hard). Old Totorak had branching routes in the first bit, lots of packs that poisoned in the second, and Leaden pop-able obstacles in the third (with spider web walls). Honestly it may have been a maze the first time around but you can just open the map and use one route 99.9% of the time. NM Sunken Temple is admittedly less of a hallway.

I was thinking about old Toto-Rak then. While it's true that there is an optimized route that most parties use to clear as fast as they can, you have to admit a new player who was getting into the game back in the day was surprised about how involved the dungeon was compared to older style dungeons in other games during that era. Now it seems so sterile but considering the game feels very sterile now I guess it does make sense.

FF13 - universally panned for being a "hallway simulator"
FF14 - universally praised, dungeons are hallway simulators

Make it make sense!

Honestly the plaques aren't fun. Whenever I'm tanking I skip them, and I *always* let people know they can skip them when I'm not tanking. The "fun" is spending an extra 5 minutes, typically, trying to position the heads and failing because one DPS just doesn't wanna stop hitting, or the tank never positions correctly, etc etc... for one extra bit of treasure.

FF13 - Single-player game where you're only expected to go through those hallways once.
FF14 - MMO where you're expected to run those hallways repeatedly in daily roulette form.

It's (arguably) more acceptable here because after the first couple of runs, most people just want to get their roulette rewards and get it over with.

Had a tank in Endsinger EX (are we still saying EX3?) who understandably thought tank LB3 wouldn't be enough to prevent a tower wipe after losing people to double Fatalism (which probably happens the majority of the time) because of the strong bleed right after, but I had already seen it work (even with both healers dead, thanks to having a RDM). After it happens yet again, he whips out the LB, healers pull through the bleed, and we clear. Dunno if out of pure shock or because something came up, but he left after that. True story.

I've tanked LB3'd there and had the healers get mad because "it wiped the raid since I stole the healer lb" even though if you use healerlb there everyone still dies because of being animation locked for towers. it's just a real pain in the ass mech to deal with.

One of the healers did that during a previous wipe. They really might have all been shocked by tank LB3 having more use.

Leviathan on my baby tank alt. Got yelled at by the other tank for......picking up the adds that spawned on my side of the platform. I guess the off tank is only supposed to pick up the tail and nothing else? At least it was a new kind of stupid, I suppose.

Ego main character syndrome. He's the main tank so he thinks he should tank everything. (Or maybe wanted to aoe to pad idk)

I can kind of understand. It's an old fight, no need for two tanks to pick up different groups of adds when one tank can pick up everything easily for the rest of the party to aoe. In higher level fights where you have different groups of adds spawning I've seen the whole party get upset with tanks for not grouping up the adds. Think it was on Hades I saw two tanks try to fight over one of the add spawns and people got really upset(rightful so).

Shouldn't really matter what you do on level 50 content though. ilvl creep is so insane that you can do whatever you want for the majority of it, so if a sprout wants to do something that's not optimal, then let them.

Lighthouse run earlier today,Tank c dies on belias and Yizamat causing two adds to gather on tank B. Tank B my tank on yizamat drags him all the way to the edge of the arena back facing the raid. *facepalm* Ya does not leave much room for his breathe or the aoe's he drops alongside it later. Should be common knowledge too anyone who as done Yizamat enough to tank him in the center of the arena. This also applies to Rofocle in Rab for the love of the almighty dont tank him against the edge of the Arena.

I sure do enjoy wearing a stupid tankini glamour on WAR and pulling everything in sight. Leveling it to 90 so I'm really looking forward to the eye-rolls.

Thought you guys would appreciate this line lol. Said by a sprout too! (he was joking)

Just had two runs of Orbonne Monastery back to back. First run was beautiful! Phases were skipped, minimal deaths, ezpz.

Aaaand that takes us to the run I just got out of. We had 29 deaths in my party alone. As a healer, I do generally enjoy when things turn a bit more chaotic in alliance raids as they can be so dull, but that was just unpleasant. lol. DO NOT WANT.

Not one case but a slew of Expert Roulette runs where a Tank single pulls.
As a healer: the mobs hit like wet noodles and had a crit shield for the first pack. By the time it was gone, one mob remained. i got to Slap and Lazor clean the floor at least... right?
As a DPS: cant kabooom all I desire. used all my kaboomy for first single pull, 2nd one is sadness, less kaboomy, ya know?

The amount of Arum Vales I get with new players is amazing, love seeing them try to pull the entire first room. then direct them afterward.

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachmen...00/unknown.png

Haukke Manor. And no, I wasn't adamant on single pulling or something. They just changed the tile set of the dungeon so I wasn't the surest on where to go. By the way the dungeon ended in 10 minutes.

Spent over an hour in the lvl 81 dungeon of which at least 30 minutes was spent on the last boss. We must have wiped at least 10 times on it. Without fail the healer died to the proximity dmg markers + Blizzard cones every single time. It wasn't their first time either since they were synced down from lvl 86. No one responded when I said hello at the start of the dungeon nor did they respond when I asked if they needed help/knew what to do.

I knew we were gonna be in there for a while since whm was a cure 1 spammer and the BLM didn't seem too good at his job (randomly popping leylines and then not standing inside them, using triple cast at 0 mana etc), but when I get groups like that I usually just shrug and mind my own business, but this was really bad. It was especially frustrating since no one responded or communicated at all.

Just got out of probably the worst run of Lighthouse where, on AST, I had to heal my ass off because the other AST couldn't stop licking the floor and I had to do several back to back hardcast resses because most of the dps couldn't resist the taste either apparently. Only myself, the tank and a reaper had 0 deaths. Surely the party noticed how hard I worked, right?

1 comm. I usually don't worry about comms, but now I'm so mad I'm going back in because I can't accept this. The other AST was helios spamming and carding themselves too... not to mention the hardcasting veraero RDM.

I also spotted a leecher in a different alliance that was in an Orbonne run the other day, they got kicked thankfully. At least a different party had a good ending.

Today I was the DF idiot. Twice. Because once is clearly not enough.

This morning I got up really, really early and thought I'd do a expert on SCH to get back into playing healer before pretending to be a sensible and responsible adult.
I blundered every 5 steps and even got myself killed on mechanics I had never had trouble with after eating more stacks than is healthy. I even managed to die on a trash pull. I thought that maybe I'm just not awake yet and I wasn't in a good mindset to begin with, making more mistakes as we went because I couldn't get back into whatever I usually do so I apologized, bowed out and closed FF.

Then during my break I thought I'd give it another go, after all I was supposed to be fully awake now. At least I felt fully awake.
It was even worse than the first attempt. I have no idea what I was doing but every first timer sprout would've done better and the "no worries we don't need a healer" comment did it and I bowed out again. I didn't take it as an offense, they were technically right, they definitely didn't need one. The only one needing healing from one blunder after another was the DF idiot healer.

Needless to say, my confidence skyrocketed.

I like pulling the entire first room of Aurum Vale, good times to be had.

No, Toto-Rak was about seven hallways before, or eleventy-three different hallways if you go back to 1.x. ;)

Plus when they have given us dungeons with side-paths and optional things to do, the community rapidly decides to ignore them and take the 'optimal' path. We will start pulling mobs and pull them until the dungeon forces us to stop, ignoring any optional goals or side pathways. How often does anyone take a side path that leads to a treasure chest in Halitali or Brayflox Hard? How often do people even bother to go into all the side rooms of Haukke Manor? Heck, I know people who have been playing for literal years who still don't have the achievement for getting the full Haukke Manor map, because they've never gone into the upstairs side rooms.

(This isn't unique to current-FFXIV, mind you; I am fairly sure I remember people trying to optimize Toto-Rak to the bare minimum necessary to get all three diremites in 1.x. But I have a lot of unresolved gamer PTSD from that incarnation of the game, and I may be misremembering.)

So, given that any time they give us multiple options we will try to figure out the single most efficient way to run things in the shortest time possible and then try to make that the cultural standard to follow, I cannot say that I am surprised they would decide that was clearly the sort of dungeon design we want: a long hallway with two clusters of enemies to pull, a wall, two more clusters of enemies to pull, and a boss... repeat that three times, and call it good.

I did a dungeon the other week where medica was being spammed. It was definitely a bit odd.

Have to admit was a bit baffled earlier.

Played Alzadaal's Legacy (admittedly my current favorite dungeon) earlier, playing as Bard. Approximately halfway through the instance one of the players on the team says, in team chat: "Hey, Bard, are you AFK all the way back there or something".
Was a bit confused by this question - I mean, I guess I was hanging back a little, but not so much that I was out of range to attack the targets everyone else was focused on. So I reply: "No - why?"

And the same person replies:
"Not seeing any AOE attacks from you and its not helpful"

I mean, as have confessed her a few times in a few threads, I'm not very good at the game; however Alzadaal's Legacy is one dungeon I DO know my way around, and I do know how to play Bard well enough to know what I'm doing - and I certainly was using AOE attacks where appropriate.

Anyway - I chose not to respond to the aforementioned accusation as wasn't really interested in starting a discussion/argument during a dungeon, no-one else on the team seemed to have a problem with me, and the player in question left the moment the instance was completed. Still a bit of a confusing accusation though.

Yesterday was WEIRD.

I was going over my classes and I realized I never touched reaper. So I decided to start getting tomes so i could assemble Full Augmented Scaevan gear.

First incident:
Alliance Roulette, I ended up in CT. I know that's not original. What was original was one of the tank's behaviors. Alliance B's tank would take aggro then move just enough to make the boss take two steps in the direction of the tank, and she'd keep doing this REPEATEDLY every couple of moments until she'd hit the wall but she wouldn't stop there! She'd then move either clockwise or counterclockwise around the borders of the boss chambers. She did this on all of the bosses. I was on Ninja, so you can imagine the salt but it wasn't just me and the melees who were pissed off, the casters were too because the boss stepping away kept interrupting their casts!

When it was all over the tank apologized and claimed it was her first time using controller. >_>

Ha ha...and I'm a ufiti's uncle. Did she have "Autorun" binded to a skill or something? I use mouse/keyboard so I wouldn't know.

Second Incident:
Leveling Roulette:
Continuing leveling my ninja, the queue popped. It's Dzemel Stronghold with 17 minutes elapsed. When I port in stupid little me forgets to use the shortcut but that's not the oddest thing I experience.

I noticed there's only one dps on the team. It's a machinist and the Tank and healer are nowhere to be found. As I'm running past the boss chambers I ask what happened.

I get no response, not even from the dps. I ask twice as I'm racing past the rooms and try to strike a conversation but I still get nothing. I then exit the second boss chamber and find my dps. The skeletons and stone throwing pillow monsters have already been cleared and the time gates have been deactivated but the drakes in the following hallway are still alive.

I get to the dps. he's just up the ramp. I try to, once again, talk to this player and I STILL get no response. The person...sort of moves around a bit but not sporadically. I couldn't send tells either. It wasn't an option in my right click menu. I then do an intelligence check....

I /poke him...

He responds by /bow. I could DEFINATELY tell it's not a bot. It's either someone whose account is muted or its a foreigner. Realizing I can't directly communicate with him I booted the afk tank in hopes I'll get someone I can talk to(and also assist with booting the afk healer too). The dismiss goes through thankfully so my silent partner was at least able to make that go through. I waited 10 minutes with him and nobody came but then the server kicks me! I then log back in and suddenly I'm in a +2000 queue trying to get back into Balmung. 0_o

Whatever happened...only that Male Viera in the maid outfit knows....

After I fought my way through the queue an hour later I got my roulettes done but dayum, that was a trip.

You can't tell people in an instance. Maybe they were on console. A lot of console players, sprouts mostly, don't know how to chat and use auto-translate yet.

Stories like that are why I mostly don't play with others when i'm streaming the game to my Switch. It have no way to access the kb (I like laying in bed and playing XIV after work) and my switch does have a bit of drift. That said, to those I did the MSQ roulette with my blm, sorry about that! I didn't realize how bad my drift was and by the 5 cast broken by said drift I was already feeling regret. At least it was the msq Ultima weapon, even then though, sorry about that low dps. ;A;

Moogle tome events really bring out the worst of the playerbase, huh.

Lighthouse once again, but this time on WAR. Out the gate I check to see if the other tanks have their stances on. B's DRK turns his on so I decide to leave mine off. Everyone's standing waiting at the first boss, DRK isn't pulling. Alright, guess I'm main tank now! Run goes fine, nothing really noticeable happens.

Until Yiazmat busts out the add phase.

I immediately grab aggro on my add as any tank should! A few seconds pass and I have a most curious thought, "wait why are B and C's adds running at me oh god oh f-". I'm getting triple pounded, still only single targetting my add and begging the other tanks to grab their adds as my brain completely malfunctions and I start running away in a desperate attempt to split the adds that still have red aggro on me (why). We wipe.
We get back to Yiazmat and I put down markers and say in alliance chat where each party goes for adds when out of nowhere C's DRK says I grabbed all of their aggro. Dude, what? I was nowhere near either of B or C's adds and apparently neither were they. Whatever, someone autoruns in and we pull again. Maybe now that markers are down we'll get through adds.

Add phase again, I do the same as before and go straight to my add. I look to see how the other tanks are doing, C has grabbed his thankfully, I look towards B's add aaaaand it's running towards me again. I literally saw him run over to his add what the bloody hell is he doing? This time I'm only getting double pounded but B's tank seems to absolutely refuse to grab his add so, once more, we wipe. We make the run back and oh my god did this guy really just say someone was aggroing his add? Despite C's tank and myself being at our adds? The only reason I can think this is happening is because I've got the most aggro on Yiaz, all the adds are automatically targetting me. I don't know if that's how it actually works but I can't think of a better explanation. I tell them they need to actually hit their add and this guy says he'll provoke this time but he "doesn't usually need to use it since stance pulls them". Sure, whatever. I don't care how you do it just bloody hit it and get aggro. Time for another pull.

We get back to add phase and I'm starting to feel like a robot running over to my add. For good measure I check C's add, it's not running at me. Good. I look at B's add, it... isn't running at me! Wooo! We... clear adds...! And then Yiazmat dies lmao.

B's DRK says "what a pain" and I can't help but agree, he was a pain. I'm just glad it's over. but man, some people really hate taking personal responsibility for their failings. Sucks that both co-tanks were like that.

To give the tank the benefit of the doubt, if you have controller drift (e.g., when the stick is supposedly 'centered' it is actually reading as slightly to one side), this is more or less what happens. It's one reason that many things support controller calibration.

One of the DPS in my static had her controller semi-die one night and develop drift, so midway through one pull she started just sloooooowly edging towards the death wall every time she tried to stand still.

And if it's your first time on controller, you may not realize the controller in question is suffering from controller drift until you're already playing.

(That said, saying "it's my first time on controller" versus "my controller has lost its mind and seems to think I need to walk in this direction at all times" does seem a little weird.)

Just watched a mentor rip into a sprout WHM because they thought the WHM should have Holy in Stone Vigil. Told them off politely with one of the DPS but it really, really made me angry.

I'm all for people playing better but it's not right for someone, anyone, especially a mentor no less aggressively incorrectly tell off a sprout in a sub50-60 dungeon. I reported it since it wasn't pleasant but this actually made me need to take a break.

I had a Dusk Vigil run tonight that is one of two instances that made me so uncomfortable I didn't feel like I could leave.

Queue in for leveling roulette, say hello and start running to the first pull. The tank doesn't put on their stance. They have EVERYTHING to 90.

The begin asking everyone where they are from and what country. The DPS go ahead and pull and the tank just stands there chatting like this dungeon is an AOL chatroom.

I ask them to do their job and they just keep standing there and chatting and I'm having to heal the dps through the pulls.

So 5 mins pass I got to vote kick and it doesn't pass, which means neither of the DPS voted to kick this clown, so I'm assuming they're all in a party together. At this point I'm thinking about leaving, but I don't want the next person to get stuck with these three, so I just go ahead an afk and report them all cause it just feels like they're trolling.

20 mins of back and forts of these three saying a whole bunch of nothing before one of them decides to vote abandon.

It was such a stupid situation.

Reminds me of the time I tanked Stone Vigil as a DRK (my first time tanking as a DRK, too). I was told to use Living Dead (a lvl 50 ability) so that I could pull w2w.

Because of the Moogle Tome event I've been spamming Aurum Vale left and right as my Tank. I let people know that I'm going to sprint to the first boss with Arms Length on and to keep close to me and keep to the edges. If they get aggro then run right to me. It works flawlessly where we get to the boss and are already engaging it within the first minute of the dungeon...

All but one time...

I had a Sage as a healer who...was not good. I do the same as always and it ends with a quick party wipe even with me using Holmgang. Ok so I let people that I'll just take it easy and do it the normal way this time. Nope. Healer goes down first standing in the bad stuff and I go down shortly after. DPS burn down what was left so not a full wipe.

Then we get to the boss...healer dies and so do I. DPS again burn down what is left. Then I notice what is up. Kardia isn't on me and I'm rather certain it's one of the lowest level abilities a Sage gets. On top of that...no single target healing...spamming AOE.

I ask if they are new to healing? No answer. They thank the summoner for rezzing them yet again. I start to single pull...and I'm barely surviving each encounter even with me using my mitigations...( I miss Raw Intuition ). I'm taking this dungeon as SLOW as I can to help out the healer cause they are doing no DPS and just spamming their aoe heal. At this point I've no trust in the healer so I take a moment to slot some potions because it's getting that bad.

We get to the 2nd boss...everyone is fine...healer is dead. Summoner rezzes them yet again and they thank the summoner but in the same exact way. Now I'm starting to believe they are a poorly used bot. I wanted to kick but with them not rolling on anything it's never gonna happen so I just continue on my way.

Amazingly nothing really happens on final boss. I let the healer know that just in case they aren't a bot that perhaps healing isn't for them and they should try DPS instead.

Just finished a frontline roulette with my catboy alt as a DNC... it was a losing match but nevertheless I had a memorable minute(s) with that SAM who was pestering me then ran off in panic when they failed to bait me w/ their one-shot gimmick. To return the favor, I chased them to their death slowly, nobody came to their help and I got my BH5. ;) I could've sworn those frantic fat fingers and erratic movement in their moment of panic literally screamed "Who hired this psychopath???"

Just watched a tank cleave the entire team during susano, minus the OT and the Bard who was over in narnia somewhere. And it's whatever I guess. What actually set me off is one of the DPS casually mentioning how it's all our fault. Excuse me, but they spun the boss around and cleaved the entire party. How can you defend that? Why are you defending that even? Until that person spoke up, it would've been just a salty but quiet little moment where we'd wipe, and redo, and move on.

Just finished Normal Raid Roul, got Eden Titan.

I entered as WAR, got a first timer tank and a couple of sprouts in there. I decide to MT despite it also being my first time tanking bc I figure i'd be the better choice. And I mean, I *was*, but not by much considering I died twice. but when I died and the other tank voked, they didn't use any mits and it ended up being more viable for me, with death weakness, to just voke back and MT. And then I died again lmao. RIP me.

Back to back trash runs of Dead Ends: first one had PLD decide to pull all the way to wall past my Leylines and hit range, Healer didn't know what Esuna did and tank died on first boss to debuff, couldn't yeet myself over the side of The Plenty, Dancer unironically used lb on Peacekeeper, their name is why they got my comm, Starbird still severely depressed enough to not show up,

where is my option to join Meteion?

Second one had WAR die on second w2w pull. Healer was WHM. Left shortly after reviving at start. Not doing this twice.

I know it wears maiming gear, but RPR is not a tank.

Please 'voke the bosses off me in Dun Scaith. First one I could take a few hits thanks to my AST/WHM being literal gods (and the boss pausing in autos to do mechanics often enough for them to do so but calling them gods is better). But the final boss? Hahahahahahaha NO. Auto nearly oneshots me and the Tankbuster when it comes WILL.
