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

Did the Vault a few days ago and I can tell you late night DF is....weird.

Got a join in progress and everything was fine, we got to the two knights after the first boss and noticed the PLD didn't try and stun either black nebula. I kindly suggested that he could stun it to make the healers job easier (since our HP went to around 1k after both went off) I was immediately met with frothing anger from the ninja who I now assume was the PLDs friend.

I'll give a run down of what I had spat at me in chat, I was pretentious because I had more than one 60 and what I was doing was directly against the ffxiv ToS.... Er yes, she insisted that giving in asked for advice was directly against the ToS and she stated she had filed tickets against someone recently for the same thing and implied she was about to do the same to me. I going to make it clear the advice was "you can stun black nebula" I did it in the most non aggressive fashion possible and was met with frothing rage.

I left the dungeon after the 2nd boss, I'm never doing late night DF again.

Well just gonna get this out of the way. I've not been playing much lately due to the increasing amount of angry / stupid / bossy players and this incident just furthers my ambition to stop playing.

Great Gubal Library on my tank to try and get it to 60. We have a bard, scholar and ninja with me as Dark Knight. So we go towards the first boss, things are looking good so far. Only issue I could see was that the healer was leaving my HP far too low and dangerously for what I'd prefer but no matter, they were helping DPS, not going to say anything.

We get to the first boss and it goes down without too many problems. So we all carry on. Down the stairs after the first boss I pull the first two enemies, they die and we head t the book on the floor. I then notice the healer pulling mobs for me. Didnt say a word and thought it must be an accident. I start pulling more mobs anyway and notice that my HP is getting dangerously low again.

Second boss time, the ninja doesnt know what to do with the orbs after killing a book. Healer then starts getting angry as this happens everytime. We kill the boss and myself and the bard just comment saying that'd be best if they let us know in the future. We carry on, more mobs are being pulled by the healer probably because I'm going too slow or something.

Final Boss time. Healer then starts explaining the boss mechanics. Ninja says I got it and understands halfway through the explanation. We are all at the door so I'm assuming we are all ready as no one said 'Wait' or 'BRB'. We go in without a problem. Orbs are placed incorrectly by the healer and ninja and then it all kind of falls apart at the end and on the final sets of lights.

The healer then gets stupidly salty. They mention 'it pisses me of a tank that pulls without an ready check , even after see someone doesnt know what to do !' even though the Ninja said he knew what to do. Bard chimes in and says a ready check isnt mandatory which the healer blurts out they weren't ready even though it looked like it was. Bard then says it was their responsibility to tell (going back to the earlier incident with the Ninja). healer then mentions watching a tank guide going on about how tanks should play properly. At this point I was getting annoyed as the healer was at fauly for earlier things.

Mentioned how we're all not adhering to their standards of gameplay which enraged the healer more. We all then got a L2P comment and they left. Another healer joined shortly and we finished with no problems.

So to this healer, GG you've just made it so another tank doesn't want to help level others or tank end game publicly any more so well done. *slow clap* Also, how about you get a tank to 60 first and then comment about it hmm?

So yeah, this type of particular people are why I'm playing less and less lately as they are occurring more and more often.

So I queue up as Machinist for Haukke manor, I just started leveling it. Queue pops for in progress Haukke manor 2m. When I zone in healer says "that escalated quickly", then tank says "I guess the Au ra got offended by me calling him cute" "Don't worry Ser you're cute too!" "I have a thing for Au ra guys". From there on, before and after every single pull the Tank would stop to say something flirty and/or sexual, all the way till the end of the dungeon. Sometimes while fighting instead of using abilities he would stop to say something as well. Something about pulling my you know what and emoting pulling my tail.

I'm sure he wanted me to either get mad or flirt back, idk. I just ignored him the whole time, it didn't really bother me especially because that dungeon is super easy. I just thought it was odd, I guess.

I had queu'd(I selected it) for Aurum Vale because I wanted a little challenge before sleeping. I sure did get one. The tank was new to the dungeon and seemingly new to tanking. He pulled the first room is the worst possible ways you can imagine. We wiped there, and it wasn't any different on the next go lol, but I was determined to keep us alive through that mess. This ended up being the only area that we wiped in. On the last boss, it was rough, the DPS has stack management issues, and towards the end I didn't have enough mp for holy AND keeping us up, so I decided keeping us up was more important. I was being beat on by 4 baby-boros, that gave me 9 stacks. I knew I was going to die, I just had to try my hardest to keep everyone else alive until the boss died, and sure enough, me and the boss died at the same time.

The satisfying thing was, as time passed he was getting better and better at tanking. There's a slim chance I'll see him again, but I know what to expect if I see him in a 60 dungeon: Pro tanking lol.

I was on the Vault doing my last dungeon for my PLD relic, the party was me, WHM, DRG and a MCH, all decent geared I believe, whm was level synced, MCH was wearing halonic gear, didnt checked the DRG, everything was good, we reached the last boss we started the fight then the dps check came, I went to sword to help the dps, normally I use DV before the last ball is down, only that we didnt get to kill all, they exploded, K.O the MCH, no biggy I popped HG to give time for a raise, we continue and wiped at 5%(lb never came).
Second try I forgot Shield Oat, the boss ate the healer alive, oops XD
Third try, again dps check, I used FoF, we killed less balls this time and both dps went down, the fight prolonged enought for me to use twice HG and DV, at one point I started to spam clemency and Stone Skin on both of us, at like 0,1% I died, luckily the healer was on the ball and swift rised me, before he died too and for the last tick of goring blade too bring him down it, it was hilarious

I was the MT on my castrum run today. Would have been fine, but I was on DRG. :(

(I was pulling mobs to canons even..)

Not me but a friend of mine running The Navel Story Mode for the first time. I would have been tanking it for her, but I was physically at her house and like a derp I had left my laptop at home. She was playing Bard and (per her request) I was giving her a play-by-play of the mechanics.

The first thing I should mention is that it took the better part of an hour for her Queue to pop. She queues in with a MNK WHM and WAR. They pull; the healer falls off the platform. They pull again; the MNK gets gaol'd and they don't clear the heart phase in time. They pull the third time, they clear the heart but then, unbelievably, my friend's controller died causing her to leap off the platform. The DPS is not sufficient to clear before the healer tumbles and they wipe again.

I'm in the middle of telling her IRL that this is normal and Titan is like the HELLO, TIME TO GET REAL, boss. At that point the WAR is like, vote abandon. And the screen pops up. My friend's all like, HECK NO, I queued into this for a long time and we're obviously making progress here. The warrior is like Kick me. And my friend types, nope and the MNK is like, you can leave anytime lmao. Nope, the warrior sits down on the edge of the arena and refuses to pull. "No future for this party". My friend was in the middle of explaining about her long queue time and let's just run it again, who cares? But then she gets dismissed from the party.

I was FURIOUS on her behalf, but she just pulled some raiders from her FC into an unsynched undersized Navel because of her sob story and they DESTROYED Titan epically (and hilariously), one of the two decided that one was sufficient and then took up base jumping for the lolz.

TL;DR - Tank decided that the party is worthless arbitrarily and therefore refuses to pull until they get a kick because entitlement.

Before this week, I think there's been one instance where I've been kicked from a party. Now I've been kicked twice in the past two days. I don't know if it's bad luck or my attitude/ tolerance towards idiots in DF is getting worse. Probably the latter.

First was SMA, had yet another silent tank who started speed running/ pulling big without even asking anyone. That in itself wasn't the issue, I'm used to those sort of pulls by now, but then he goes charging ahead without waiting for party members/ MP/ buffs as soon as the mobs were down - most of my MP was blown on the first pull - and runs straight into the first boss while me and another DPS are a chunk of the map away. I deliberately walk over, miss the 15 second lockout, watch as they wipe, and assume he'll take the hint. Nope! Soon as the first boss is down, off he goes again before we've barely opened the chest, pulling half way up to the honeycomb, no buffs. I walk again, he drops, I get a "U suck." I snark back that if he's not going to let me do my job properly, then I won't bother. Few seconds later: "you've been dismissed!"

Second was VA (NIN), joined in progress at Cuchu (that really should have been a red flag.) Got paired with the most clueless and useless ASTs I've ever seen; they stood there motionless most of the time, let the party drop to 20 - 30% without healing and when they finally did, were oblivious to the fact they had AoE heals. One was screeching about "markers" instead of actually moving near DPS, the other was... drooling or something, I don't know. Me and another DPS pointed out they were, well, terrible, and arguments ensued. They said "we're not going to heal you :D"; fine by me, less work to do if I'm faceplanting. Locked myself out of Echidna; unsurprisingly everyone wipes, I'm still sat there, et voila, kick.

Usually I don't like slacking off and do my job as best as I can regardless of what petty squabbles there are, but I've really had enough of rude/ stupid players lately. I'm not wasting any more effort helping people who aren't only rubbish at their job, but snotty to boot.

Eh, this is where you lost me. I get it, you've gotten a slew of the entitled brats and you don't feel like putting up with their crap. But it is DF and you kinda signed up to play with those random buttfaces. So if you refuse to play your job and get yourself locked out deliberately, you're gonna get kicked.

Might be better just not to queue into the DF until your patience recovers. :)

Yeah, I don't see how greeting douchy behavior with douchiness is going to help matters any. I'd recommend queuing with a reliable tank. I personally love queueing with my FC healers. Not only do we trust each other to do our jobs but one of them is full of sass and that always makes a run more fun.

For Void Ark, you have to know from a healers perspective it can be a real pain in the ass. Especially wiping at Cuchulainn if the party is all over the map, it can make you give up. I've had dps die across the arena and I try to raise them and oops, can't because they were out of range. If your healers were "screeching" about markers, maybe they...wanted...you...to...stay...near...them...? If you want to get something you gotta give something.

I'm not surprised or indignant at being kicked, it's to be expected. My annoyance is at their behaviour rather than the end result.

Though it wasn't so much refusal as neither of them were letting me do my job - tank wouldn't let me protect/ SS/ even let my MP recharge between fights, and the healers left me pretty much for dead. Why bother supporting party members who don't support me?

Sorry, even if it's "douchey", I'm not going to have consideration for others who have none for me.

And I'm a WHM with a full VA set, I know what healing it is like.

I... was... a... NIN...? I was at the back of Cuchu with the MNK. They were healers standing more or less in front of him. Who should be moving?

I wasn't even on the other side of the arena - it was us melee behind boss, casters to the right of us at his side, and healers... over by his front. Literally moving three feet over to the casters would have solved their problem and kept everyone within range.

Because when you queue into DF you sign up to play with randoms, and presumably there are randoms that won't give two flips about what you need to do your job properly.

Maybe if you had asked verbally for MP or Heals instead of locking yourself out of instances ambiguously, you would have gotten what you wanted and not been kicked and cleared the instance.

It's perfectly fine to be indignant at the bads, but if you can't play with them you should avoid them until you can tolerate it otherwise you're just sinking to their level.

We did ask for heals, and AoE heals, and to pay attention, and to move over; they didn't.

You're right, though, there will always be random players who expect 100% from me while giving 10% back. So as far as sinking to their level goes...

Looks like I'll be adding more to my kick tally!

/emoROE

Just got done with a Normal Qarn run that gave me a laugh. MNK (me) BLM, SCH, and DRK. Things go well but then right before the 2nd boss the tank starts stopping or just sitting there, so the SCH decides to pull the 3 mobs and we burn em down without any issue and run to the boss door. We wait and turn and see him run to the floating mob so we run back out and kill it. Once we get the stone head and croc he runs over to the door and forces it spawning 3 more mobs. We kill em and the tank went to the 2nd door, without even waiting we run up the stairs cus we all wanted to be done, we take care of the Croc and Stone then comes the Tank running with all 3. We kill them and then he runs over the next door and just stands there as we all proceed to move onto the next set and burn em down with no help at all. So its spoken up if the tank gets the hint and he proceeds to get snarky till he was reminded he could easily be replaced. :3 Was an interesting turn out

Very long day at work. Get home and decide to wind down with a trial roulette. I realize as soon as I load into the instance my tiredness has screwed me. It's The Vault, and I have accidently clicked leveling roulette. I consider dropping, bit I'm healer and don't want to screw the team over.


So away we go. PLD with the big pulls, thats fine, I like it that way. He pulls both of the last groups before the first boss, haven't seen that yet, but cool, I'm down. I almost screw it up because I forget I don't have Tetra and have to use my Bene to save it.

After 1st boss, he doesn't wait for SS, he picks up all the mobs to the doors, including the giants, slooowly. So I can't heal him on the way, and he has about 25% when he stops. Ok, we can do this! He just has to pop HG while I top him up since Bene is on CD still.

Obv, no HG or any other CD for that matter...

If he was going after the floating ghosts he was probably doing the second GC hunt log. Would have been a lot easier for him to just say so, obviously. Like, who is seriously going to argue with a tank saying they'll be pulling a couple of mobs more than usual through an entire dungeon?

Happened earlier, I was leveling DRK for fun and ended up at Brayflox in the roulette. Everything went fine until after the third boss (Hellbender), I noticed healer completely OOM and I asked the bard if he could play Mage Ballad while we're on the way to the next mob.

Healer told me it's fine but the bard isn't, his Electronic Dingdongs had a power surge I think it broke him entirely that he started insulting me. Stuff he said/did:
- Told me he don't take orders from strangers
- Told me to say "please"
- Told me I failed MP Management because I used Blood Weapon. lolwut
- Used Mage Ballad when the healer's MP already full for a couple minutes during battle, saying something like "give me reason i shouldn't use it now?" and intentionally lower his own DPS (and intelligence)

- Adding fuel to the fire when we wiped (yeah we did), saying I can't dodge the aoes when the healer was too far from me when I moved Aiatar. I would defend myself by saying I'm having lag spikes (This is true, has been around quite awhile since 3.1) but decided not to because knowing the internet, people like this would lower their intelligence further to insult me again.

The healer then DC, I'm not sure if that was actual DC or s/he couldn't stand the bard (I couldn't either). Fortunately we didn't have to wait too long, he called his FC healer to fix his ego. After the fight, I just leave because I know I won't get any thanks or comm. Becauseiamjustanotherstrangertohim /sarcasm

Welp, just another one of those runs that I had full patience with. If I don't I would have taken out an Electronic Scissors to cut his EDD off but it would be a waste of time and a good scissors on a uncontrollably thick one. :rolleyes:

Just had a fun run in Castrum.
Half the people new, cool cool
We go off.....and I die cause apparently everyone wants to love the WHM today. Immediate wipe. Great fun. That goes on for a few minutes.
After first boss, another wipe in the area with the spotlights. That's when one of the tank drops. :(
We keep going, it's a bit slow but whatever. We're making progress so I don't care. At the very last boss, after Livia's health is about halfway, a new tank joins. Bout time, took about an hour for one to join!
All in all a fun run. Long? Sure. Whatever though we got through it.

DPS mutiny at Hentai boss of VA after this raid clawed into each other since the flying manatee.

face pulls and blm pulls and agro fights
and then aparantly 90% lf the dps refused to, dps

when you wipe due to 6/7 stacks of the black lung or w/e that damage ticks and the tentacles is still at 33%, and your the only one left standing healing a PLD from a different alliance.

i just dont understand it

I spent alot of time in A1 today finishing up my bones. I did it 27 times and the vast majority of them were great. But a small handful weren't so great. Doing it so many times you run across some familiar faces. And there was this one tank, who would always get in an aggro fight over Faust. And this same tank, after showing tank dominance or whatever, would grab the main boss and place him right in the middle. And you'd think after .5 showed up it'd be smooth sailing since every tank has there own target, but nope after the jump he decides he wants .5. After my third run in with him, I really wanted to Smokescreen him before he pulled Faust.

A4. The summoner pulls, dies and refuses to accept any raises, so she lays there dead for the entire fight. People getting angry at her, calling her a bitch and saying things like "get your fucking ass up" and "must be nice to get your lazy butt carried". After the kill she says, "thanks for language, that's reportable", then she tells the warrior, "1129 dps is pretty impressive, you get my comm".

So, wanting to report people for language, and then parsing and publishing the parse? o.o

For this and for parsing.

Que expert, get Saint's (this story is a few days old now) we clear everything too first boss, I have to go brb because my dog wants in, I tell party this, I come back, tank has pulled boss and everyone stayed locked out and let them die because I was still brb, he then respawned and proceeded to say that the DPS was so low during that fight and blame me for being a terrible DPS which is why I went brb (what? lol) he then logged off instead of leaving party and we replaced him....duty finder.

Report her for stay on the floor, but about parsing, I think devs stand on the subject is more like "if you parse keep it quiet and dont be an ass about other people dps" at least she didnt do that

Oh your probably report me to for disagreeing. #Safezone

In a way he is right. Why would you report someone that didnt harrass you ? is that even important ?

Now this being said, it is also true that if you do not report what is by definition forbidden you agree with it and so caution it and SE COULD view it as you participating in such thing and you risk or may risk as well to be banned. Reporting what is not fair, misused or cheating is our responsability as players.

Final point, why would someone advertise openly to do something that is *Illegal* by rules that we all agreed to follow in the first place? They took their chance too if they are caught no matter by whom they are the onl yone to blame.

And to end I dont agree with the use of parsers to check others which is the case in here

Pretty sure purposefully pulling a boss and refusing raises throughout a fight is harassment. What's the party supposed to do? Wipe so they can kick? That's absurd.

what has this to do with the report for parser ? if you speak of that particular part, I agree with you but my point and this of the lala was specific to the report about parsing.

For the rest, could well fall into *different play styles* and SE could careless about that

Exactly, because they laid on the floor doing absolutely nothing and they clearly then showed they were using illegal software, I would report them for both.
Because I hate people who purposefully troll like that, might as well bust them for parsing as well. Has nothing to do with the fact that they had better numbers or whatever and everything to do with the fact that they HAD it and it's reportable.

Indeed absurd, report.

My point was about the reporting of parser use when no harassment took place.

Yes my name is correct.

I have been saved from being kicked thanks to parser users, you all remember mch in 3.0? The stigma attached got me nearly kicked from groups that had failed dps checks on Alex.

When in fact I was either number 1 or 2 dps and MILES ahead, all while the people complaining about mch couldn't even do level 50 dps at level 60

It doesn't matter, parsers aren't allowed at all, technically, so it's reportable.

Also, personally, if the member had actually fought and pulled their weight and then mentioned numbers at the end..I would not report for that. Who cares? It's all about the general attitude.

Here's one: I just got back to the game 3 days ago, and my best set of gear is a str/vit hybrid I was using to OT T13 back in november/december of 2014. I go into The Ayrie (or however it is spelled) for the first time and pull the first set of mobs, after saying I'm new. I pull in Defiance and then switch to Deliverance about 1/2 way through the fight, after I know the DPS aren't going to take aggro. The WHM says, "stay in defiance please." So I respond, "Even on 2-mob trash pulls?" and then pull the next set of 3 in Defiance and lead with steel cyclone.

I stay in defiance, but the WHM doesn't move and lets me die.I see a chat message of, "Last strength build tank in deliverance went down pretty quick," and I made the joke, "Yeah, I can see why : D lol" (since he had just killed me from typing.) Then he says, "You know what? I hate str build tanks, you are all going to be obsolete next patch anyways." And disbands. The DPS, of course, is on my side, the BLM was impressed with my aggro holding in deliverance, and says as much. AST joins immediately, we explain, he says he doesn't care what stance I am in as long as I hold hate and aren't bleeding health. I continue through the dungeon leading in Defiance and then switching to Deliverance after I set aggro. The AST says it was totally fine with no problems, DPS agrees, 3 commendations. This game is silly. I love it.

I think he means that most people would have let the parsing slide if the player had been helpfully contributing, but after the summoner in that scenario trolled through the whole fight, it's not surprising he got reported for everything reportable, both the trolling and the parsing.

The parsing was breaking a rule. It's a rule that's only enforceable if the numbers are mentioned in chat (because otherwise the GMs can't prove the parsing took place). And in most cases, it only gets reported if that mention in chat is in the context of harassing others. In this instance, the parsing was actually mentioned in a compliment, so normally wouldn't have gotten reported. But since the player who did so had been trolling, he got reported anyway. Moral of the story being don't troll.

Yes thank you.
Sorry if I was unclear before.
