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

In the part I bolded we pretty much have the poster admitting to harassment. That is a known violation.

Some pseudo overblown forum fear of whatever the letters MPK is supposed to refer to based on playstyle though.. that’s just theory...

MPK = mass player kill. Refusing to heal in a dungeon is what dings you for that. You don't even have to do it, just chat the threat to do it.

MPK is "monster player kill" not "mass".

Originally it was mass. It's a throw back to when people used to kill multiple players with a train of mobs. It's since morphed to be altered to other things as the situations where it originated from have ceased to exist in modern MMOs in order to make more sense. Another version is mob player kill, although ironically this is closer to monster than mass since it refers to the gaming term mob rather than a group of people. All of these versions are correct.

and alll of them are bannable griefing offenses. the gms don't look at player actions typically. they usually only have videos if provided and chat logs. posting a threat will still count towards an infraction even if you don't do it.

I never said they weren't? In fact, I explicitly said that is why the player who posted their story got a 3 day suspension.

I'll never call someone out on a feeling long as it never gets actted on. I DID mention I never did those things. But I'm wasting time cause how dare I not like something.

At the end of the day I'm not even asking for it to be changed. I just wished I could click it off. As I also mentioned that's where alot of the anger came from. Not from the skill itself.. but not being able to remove it was my biggest issue when I relaxed and thought about it.

No one has been so pissed off about a speed buff that you barely notice because it's gone in like 5 seconds either.
So there's that. You're tired of the "GOTTA GO FAST SANIC!" mentality, that you legit barely notice.
You should be more irritated about tanks sprinting in full force into mobs.
That's something I can get behind, that irritates me to no end as a healer.

Sprinting mass pulling tank: GOTTA GO FA--*splat*
Healer: Lemme get a mop.

Edit: Satasha normal.

You know, I get it.. it's Satasha..

However, the next time someone pulls every single thing before me, including aggroing the entire last room like it's first 2 rooms of Satasha Hard, I'm going to do something that is totally unbecoming of me.

I don't care about sprinting tanks cause 9 times out of 10 those tanks don't effect me anyway. All I have to do is not follow them and watch them die.. either that or tank myself so I barely run into that problem. And look. The buff itself I don't care about. It's the fact I can't click it off. Doesn't matter how useless it is. And it last more than 5 seconds. It's like 20 I think. I know it's longer then sprint. Either way. I just wish I knew I couldn't click it off. Cause again for the last time. Me clicking it and not getting results was the big reason why I was so pissed. I don't CARE how useless people say it is... I just want to click it off. And you couldn't. I didn't know that before hint why I got that mad.

You're mad over a beneficial buff that you can't click off. Okay. Then hit a mob and go into battle. Solved. Also maybe other ppl in your party are normal and want the buff. Just walk and stop, w.e it is that makes you feel like the antithesis of sonic. This is the silliest thing I've seen on here.

It's gone in 5 seconds because it's gone in battle, which you're almost always in.
Don't care about tanks rushing to mobs, but care about sonic speed mentailty....What?
Aslo, you must be the one dude who removed my friend AST buffs because they didn't want it lmao.
Welp, okay then...

Then I dunno. To me that was a normal -vent-. It was no more crazy then the people actually kicking people for the tinyest oof stuff in my opinion. I think it's crazy to kick a tank for not going 2 mins faster, I think it's crazy to kick or yell at someone for one wipe.. all things I've seen in this thread. I didn't do any of that. I just explained how I FELT. Like all of it was feelings. And yet I'm being told I need to leave the game and get help LOL. It was a vent. Funny story after I wrote all that out I've been fine. Nothing was broken or said or killed after that. I feel like I walked into a disney movie and said F-CK out loud.

That was a fun meme a month ago or so.

Does it bother you that I hate the buff? I want to know? Cause you seem like you're lost that I wanted it off. And no I don't click off astro buffs so ha ha on your joke there bro. IS it THAT bad that I wanted to click it off? Why? And if it's so useless to not want it off why defend it? If it's THAT useless why can't people be like... " Oh he doesn't like it. Oh well"

I’ve read and participated this thread for years. Your vent was one of the more extremes simply because it was about a running speed buff. Idk, I think you need to take a few steps back if Peloton makes you as angry as it did in that post. Screaming at your TV because a physical ranged used it is a bit much, my dude. No offense...

I'm not the one who said or keeps saying it's useless. Thats everyone ELSE. Hint why I even asked in the first place. To explain. Everyone is telling me " it's useless" So I'm asking if it's THAT useless why even defend it instead of just saying " Guess he doesn't like it." And move on? THat was my question to everyone saying it's useless. That's not my statement.

Probably because people don’t think it’s something that warrants getting that angry over, my dude. It’s a running speed buff and nothing more than that.

My man. You kind of flew off the handle with your rant. That’s why people are wondering why it makes you so angry. Because, as I said, that’s probably one of the angriest, if not the angriest, post I’ve read in this thread.

I have a habit of getting bad runs in roulettes, and some people in my FC tease me about it.

One of those people wound up in a roulette run of O11 with me today. He died cursing my name as Program Loop went off.

I wasn't even mad. I love O11. It's always entertaining.

I agree with this. I can't say I've read every page on this thread, but I've also been on this thread for years. People are reacting bc we have never had someone so passionate over a harmless buff. No one demanded to go fast, its just something range do to get us down the hallways faster. No biggie.

Unless this dude is the ultimate sh*tposter and played us all for updoots on reddit. But most likely not considering their replies.

Odd... that's a normal vent for me. I've seen worst, and heard worst from people. But maybe I'm just odd... sorry that was that intense. I admit I can get animated... but seriously felt normal to me. If it was REALLY that bad - to me- I wouldn't have even wrote that. To be honest... I thought abit of that was funny.... Like the large stupid number I wrote in there. BUT noted. I got too colorfully apparently. no harm .. lessoned learned. Tho I kindof did see some of this coming... just didn't expect THAT much. But I'm eating icecream and chilling listening to paul hardcastle. If I could change one thing I'd express it was mostly the fact I didn't know I couldn't click it off. I'd express that abit more instead of going off on the buff itself.

My buddy and I were double-tanking through some trials/raids yesterday and got Alpha 4.0. We were both wearing our sleepy hats but it actually seams like the rest of the party was asleep. On the first Transforming-W half the party was pushed of the platform. Later the guy with the red circle insists on stacking with the stack marker, wiping us. Mechanics were explained, especial the knock-back parts and stuff and again, half the party was pushed of the platform.

We were also doing Eden-Normal for the weekly treasury and on E1 while I was tanking we noticed that there is a dancer lying around. And they kept lying around. No rezz is coming. After the Adds they were still dead. The cutszene hits, the fight continues, no rezz. It wasn't like they didn't accept the rezz or anything, there was simple noone casting one. After we finished one of the healers tells the poor dead DNC "I hate you!" and left. Don't know what happend but I gave the DNC a sympathy-commendation because I was feeling sorry for them.

Imagine being happy with being bad. Tanks shouldn't even be able to Sprint away from healers because healers should be sprinting right up alongside the tanks. This isn't other FF ganes where healers stand in the back row, you're always better off being right up front. A healer who "just lets them die" because they're too lazy to keep up is just a bad player.

Looks like the Overwatch crowd that's prone to throwing a game when things don't go their way is spilling over as well now.

The time where people played healers because they liked playing a cooperative class is long gone, today it's mostly people who feel the need to satisfy their god complex and then brag on the forums about letting people die.

Insertcoins is trolling. I honestly can't explain their posts any other way.

It did give me a nice mental image to take away though...

For me venting is always tongue in cheek, kind of like rage reviews on YT, purposefully blown out of proportion bc sometimes it's fun to drop some F-bombs. Sure some things are annoying, but not in a way where I'd say they really make me feel anger. So I'm always confused when someone's anger issues shine through and you know they're not humorously overexaggerating but feel actual hate and aggression towards another person over stuff in a video game. I always imagine them like Michael Douglas in falling down, where they might completely snap over some triviality. It's creepy.

I get you. Everyone else is way too hostile, in my opinion. I click off AST buffs, cause I don't need them. I'm that good. The other DPS needs them to even keep up with me. The fact that you can't click it off, is forcing a playstyle on you in all honesty. I'd probably report this as a problem to the devs - maybe even report the players who use it, but I'd make a ticket and see if it is actually reportable first.

The thing is AST buffs are not yours, they're the ASTs. their DPS is balanced around their raid contribution in the form of cards.
By clicking them off, you are hindering their ability, not just yours.
This is an incredibly stupid and annoying thing to do.

I see you play Dancer.
Imagine if your dance partners kept turning off Closed Position.

I don't need it. I'm pulling BIG in content like Qitana Ravel, and Malikah's Well. Would be better spent on that other dps who is trying to compete.

I'd just make the healer my partner. :) If he turns it off, raid doesn't need it, I'm a one au ra army.

I was waiting for this one... cause again omg how DARE I have an opinion and how DARE me right? Gotta be trolling cause of course I am right? Couldn't be that people are different and react different NOPE. Gotta be trolling. Must be nice to live in that bubble where everyone agrees and reacts the same way. Noone reacts different then me, and if they do they must be trolling or whatever cause we all look the same, act the same, have the same opinions and everything. No man.. that wasn't trolling. That wasn't a joke. That was how I felt at the time. It may have been colorfull and extreme but it was just words and how I honestly felt. I explained it time and time again. The anger came from not knowing I could not click it off. Was it extreme I guess. The only thing I regret is not expressing WHY it was making me mad. And this is all meaniless cause I didn't DO anything. I just simply SAID how I felt. Forgive me for being human with human emotions that may not make sense all the time. And as funny as that gif is.... it's false cause as I said again. I DID NOT DO ANYTHING!!!!!!! Nothing was punched, broken killed or thrown. The must that was done was the word F---EDd screamed. And I don't care WHAT OR WHY it was screamed. You people act like you never actted out on any anger before. Like I'm the ONLY person in the planet who got angry. You people should act like this when new players get kicked for stupid reasons, when people get harrassed ingame or the other millions of things that could happen. But nope I must be trolling cause I hated something so useless. - Even though the hate comes from NOT being able to click the stupid thing off-

Dude calm down.

Yeah you have anger management issues, not liking Peloton is just the tip of the iceberg.

I'd personally suggest taking a break off the forum or at least this thread for a bit Insert. Venting is just an annoyance and moving on.

Your post for Peloton sounded like some deep seated hatred that was passed down by a family bloodline or something.

I've debated commenting on this entire thing, but alas, it's early, and my common sense hasn't kicked in yet. I'm mainly just curious why you feel Peloton is useless and why you would even want to click it off? Do you happen to have any of the mount-speed upgrades? Or use sprint when going about your daily adventures? I suppose some people may just enjoy moving at the slowest speeds possible, but I imagine that number would be incredibly small.

Yeah, with him screaming at Mhaeric in that post I think he should take a break off the game...AND the forums.
I'm scared he will track us all via IP and kill us with the amount of anger he's giving off here lol.

I'm amazed how long this has been going on. Woah.
Okay, let me break this up with a dungeon story :D

Expert Roulette, got Twinning. Love this one.
Tank was a Warrior and... OOF. He asked if he can pull big and of course I was completely on board. That is, until he died during said big pull.
At that time I was doubting myself, analyzing all the teeny little mistakes I may have made and generally felt embaressed that a tank died in an Expert of all things. His gear was good enough, around 440 I'd say.
Started with setting up hots and went into a bit of Holy spam but I quickly noticed I had to use my oGCDs in much quicker succession than usually, hardcast CureII several times in a row even while hots were still ticking and by the time the mobs were at ~60% almost everything was on CD and I was left with mad CureII spam and anxiously waiting for something, anything, to come off CD because I couldn't get the tank back over ~25%.
If I had known in advance I would've planned everything differently and with the mindset that I'd likely not find time for a single dps spell. So, yes, I could've definitely done better.
I assumed he knew what he is doing if he asks beforehand if big pulls are alright.
But gods... he got completely trashed.
I don't know if Warrior is the paperbag of the month or if he was just downright abyssmal, but I can't remember ever having this much trouble keeping someone alive, let alone safe enough to dps.
I noticed a couple of obvious mistakes on his part, like always eating several Vuln stacks on boss fights or either staying still for so that he got down to ~30-40% while still picking up mobs or popping Rampart while being out of range of mobs, so I guess he wasn't one of the better players. But I have never played Warrior myself and tbh I don't recognize some buffs at first glance so it's hard for me to tell how he timed which CD.
The whole dungeon was a pain to heal. Dps was relatively low and with own dps being almost non-existent it felt like it took forever for something to die. Being able to use Temperance two times in a mob group is kind of a pointer ...

Warrior mains: how is Warrior currently? How well can he handle certain situations? What's a good way to time your def CDs?
I'm genuinly curious because so far the Warriors I got in the ShB dungeons and Experts were pretty difficult to heal.
