So I finally got my first rage quit.

Went into Duty Finder. Got Bowl of Embers. Easiest leveling duty in the game. Let's be honest. I was DRK. We had a SCH, DRG, BLM. The DRG decides to agro. No problem. I can get it back. Immediately dies to the knock back that pushes you off the edge. I think this is ok. I'm not one to get angry. Just take a bit longer without DRG. My healer then decides finishing healing is more important than dodging the insta-death. I jump off the edge to rest since you can't win without a healer. Second run, DRG instantly dies to the same thing. We get his heart to show. No one hits it except me. The SCH at least knows what to do at this point. BLM gets hit by the insta-death attack. We rest. Third try in a row, DRG dies again to the same attack. I feel like he's trolling at this point. I tell him to avoid the attack. It really isn't hard. You just move away. SCH dies, so I reset ( jump off the edge).

4th, 5th, and 6th time are repeat. DRG, SCH die instantly. After politely telling them how to do this primal, they wipe again. 7th time. 7th TIME. I finally tell them, I'm done. I just left.
I don't even care about doing my daily today. I know this is a rant, but I've never had 3 people be this bad before. Was I wrong for leaving? I've been playing for 4 months now. I've never seen this before. I've always just carried my team as the tank. Never once failed a dungeon or primal. I just can't take it anymore. No one, and I meant NO ONE was even trying to dodge the easy skill shot. I've never failed this before. Am I just a jerk, or was I smart to leave?

Welcome to the world of Duty Finder and Roulettes! ^^

I would have quit after the third attempt, as after explaining and obviously no listening on their part, I'd be gone.

you can't fix stupid, and you can't fix other players as they are miles away from you and cannot enter their gaming room to slap their face. so.. you leave ;)

I just feel so bad. This is the first time I just gave up. Bowl Of Embers has zero mechanics. Just hit it and doge. I finally feel like I understand this forum now. I couldn't even tell if the DRG was trolling or not. He was attacking first. They weren't even rude or anything.:(

I was confused about which primal you were on at first, but welcome to DF lol

Ah, titan.

It's honestly the first time I've ever not been able to do titan. Like, this was a 4-man. Not the 8-man. I was so nice to them. And they weren't mean or anything. They just couldn't dodge the attack. This is my first MMO. Like, We're level 30 something. The game holds your hand on how to dodge those line things. I've done this like 20 times. You can't lose. I FINALLY UNDERSTAND THE COMPLAINTS! I'm tilted. I had to wait 30 minutes to go back into Duty Finder lol. I'm a lvl 58 DRK. I didn't even know you could fail Titan.

To be fair before my fancy new computer I died literally every time to Landslide. The only way for me to not die to it was to constantly be moving, so I'd already be in motion when the castbar appeared.
There was not enough time for me actually dodge it.

Titan and I have a long relationship with each other. A relationship of hatred.
I got back at him by recently almost solo-dpsing EX. (Me, tank, and healer were helping a fresh other DPS get his primal EX clears).

you can't win them all sadly

This is how I was way back in 2.0, especially before they patched the AOE server checks. I not only had to memorize landslide, but back then weights did a ton of damage too so I was moving about 90% of the time, the 10% not moving was casting cures. With my new computer it's a lot better now, but ugh, it was a nightmare before.

(I actually find Titan Ex a bit easier for some reason).

Yeah got me confused too since you wrote "Bowl of Embers" and yes, that is indeed the easiest levelling roulette of all, Titan though, as it seems it was Titan by falling of the edges etc, is not. It is, even in its easy mode, one of the milestones in the early game, introducing more mechanics than the old tank-n-spank.
Anyhow, sadly you have been matched by either trolls, bots, or those classic players who have the chatlog hidden or don't give a damn. My condolences :/

Yeah others have hinted at it but it's driving me batty. Bowl of Embers is Ifrit. Titan is The Navel :)

I agree. i also was like. Ifrit has no fall mechanic. XD. so as it did others. it also confused me.

Haha, my bad. You can tell how little I pay attention to them. Bowl was the one I got after I rage quit Titan lol. Got a free I frit sword so I guess something good came of it. It's also possible all 3 could have lagged and couldn't get out of the way.

I hate to hear that for you. Had a similar experience recently, only it was more than one group o_O I hit 50 around December, took a bit of a break (I'm in Pharmacy school so my schedule is a bit hectic), and recently picked it back up. Leveled my DRG to 51, and decided I wanted to finally take on Garuda Extreme. So, I did my research, watched a few strategy videos on youtube and got the gist of it, and queued up. Started off great, until Chirada and Suparna showed up, at which point off tank and main tank fought over aggro?

Lol. So we explained what to do, and went at it again. Then there was the dreaded Spiny plume. after the same NIN had killed the spiny plume 5 TIMES, I had to quit. I couldn't take it anymore. Then I guess karma got me back, because after 5 queues, same things kept happening, and still haven't finished Garuda. Got so frustrated I just started leveling a Bard. I'll make it to Heavensward one of these days. Haha.

Just a suggestion, if you're taking a trial or harder dungeon/raid on for the first time in the duty finder, do yourself and others a favor and look up the mechanics to the fight prior to queuing up. It helps a TON.

The problem is the amount of crappy players, cause they are all getting carried by the elites in DF, who don't teach mechanics and no one thinks you should have to look up a guide for castrum, or maybe a video. The amount of people who can't:

work a cannon, stay at the cannons, not agro shit and then camp it on-top of the cannons, be a tank and pull stuff correctly and work with the other tank so there's no pauses between pulls, or stun the aoe moves pointed at the cannons. . .

and these people, are not people with my favorite little noob bonus's.

I understand how you feel, I recently did the same thing while levelling my warrior.

I was on Halatali, the 2nd easiest dungeon in the game! Anyway the healer stopped moving after first mob, stood there for a few minutes, didn't disconnect, but didn't movie either.

The machinist and dragoon both took off into next room, aggro'd mobs and ran into first boss room, locking me and the now motionless healer out.

After that we gathered, did the 1st boss, but rather than taking down the few mobs that i'd pulled (big enough for a newbie healer, and low level dungeon), the machinist once again took off and ran through the next several areas. At this point the drg and machinist were running round with their own mobs, the healer once again stopped moving, at this point i'd had enough.

First time i've ever quit out a dungeon.

There's nothing wrong with leaving a dungeon, ever.

There's only something wrong if you make snarky comments before leaving or get all uppity before leaving or anything like that.

If you simply say "Sorry guys, I have to leave" and leave.
Or just say nothing, and leave.

Absolutely nothing wrong with that. It happens.

It may not be optimal for those left in the instance, but there's nothing wrong with it.

And don't worry, tanks... your spot is filled in about 5 seconds as well. Just like anyone else's :D
