[Just for Fun] Player Habits?

My curiosity is getting me, so I've put together some random things that maybe people do out of habit. Feel free to contribute more of these if you think about them.

1. When you approach a zone line, do you try to hop over it or just go through it?

2. Between pulls in a dungeon do you jump, prep buffs for the next pull, both, anything else?

3. If/When/The last time you did/do Syrcus Tower, before and/or after the first trash pack, did/do you take the left staircase or the right? (Or impatiently spam-click the teleporter because screw walking.)

4. On a related note, for Labyrinth and Syrcus Tower, do you walk/run to the first trash pack or do you use the teleporter?

5. When you have to go to an area that's set below you in ARR zones (Camp Drybone, Witchdrop, 789th Order Dig, etc.), do you take the "intended" exit/entrance ramp or just drop down?

6. In dungeons, are you chatty, just say hello and goodbye/good game, do you not say anything, or do you wait until something goes wrong to speak up?

7. In a wipe, are you likely to be the person that caused it, the last man standing, a casualty of the wipe-causing mechanic, the person that tries to salvage the fight, or do you see the inevitable and give up early?

8. In trials, during a boss's ultimate attack, what do you do? Dance, emote, buff, anything else? Feel free to include Shiva's Diamond Dust as a separate case because getting frozen in different poses is half the fun.

Hi!
1. I usually jump towards the line, although it is more because I think of "jumping towards the portal".

2. Do not jump while they are pulling (I only run behind while grabbing the others), but if I jump when the tank does pull small, having caster.

3. Always took the left staircase.

4. I always run, personally I think this game has extremely beautiful views and deserve to be seen always.

5. I take the shortest route (where you usually have to drop)

6. I always say hello and I say goodbye. I usually talk only when someone else does or when something interesting happens during the dungeon. Although I admit that when something goes wrong, depending on the situation, I usually put "..."

7. Generally I am one of the last ones standing.

Were entertaining questions :P

Just going to skip the ones that aren't relevant (ie ST and such).

1. When you approach a zone line, do you try to hop over it or just go through it? I run through it. Seriously. I hit sprint. Why? I have no idea.

2. Between pulls in a dungeon do you jump, prep buffs for the next pull, both, anything else? Jump, spin in circles, or run back and forth depending where I am and how long we have been waiting.

5. When you have to go to an area that's set below you in ARR zones (Camp Drybone, Witchdrop, 789th Order Dig, etc.), do you take the "intended" exit/entrance ramp or just drop down? 100% jump down. I did it/do it even when it is not lower level. :P

6. In dungeons, are you chatty, just say hello and goodbye/good game, do you not say anything, or do you wait until something goes wrong to speak up? Usually I will wait for someone else to say hello but on occassion I will say it first. I always thank people at the end even if no words were spoken.

7. In a wipe, are you likely to be the person that caused it, the last man standing, a casualty of the wipe-causing mechanic, the person that tries to salvage the fight, or do you see the inevitable and give up early? I try to salvage it, but if I can't I am usually the last one to die.

1. I just run through it.

2. I don't move until the tank starts moving.

3. Never done this.

4. Never done these.

5. I take the intended path when I can. However, more often than not, I end up dropping down unintentionally. This has happened more times than I can count at Witchdrop :)

6. I tend not to say anything unless the group is failing and my advice would make a difference. But since I'm still kind of new this doesn't usually happen a lot.

7. Probably the casualty of the wipe causing mechanic.

1. I leap gloriously. I also bunny hop when running in general because it looks funny.

2. Run in circles if the tank is slow, or activate Sprint and pretend to run forwards. Sometimes I cast Aero 3 to bait them but I cancel it before actually pulling. Honest.

3. Depends on which alliance I'm in, but if I'm in B or not paying attention it's gotta be Left.

4. I never use the teleporters because I'm scared of them.

5. I leap and mentally give myself a score for how fantastically I flew through the air. Incidentally, when I was new and didn't realise that falling in combat could kill you this was probably my leading cause of death. I remember when I first unlocked flying in Heavensward my group was running triumphantly across Coerthas to the quest NPC and I fell off a cliff in this way and died. My friend didn't come back to raise me until he was airborne and could make fun of my corpse :*(

6. I always say my hellos and goodbyes and try to make conversation whenever it's appropriate. I like playing with people rather than bots, but I'm on a non-English-speaking server so I don't talk as much as some.

7. I never give up! I'm most likely to have caused it but I also get randomly MPKed quite a lot. Usually by my wife.

wow a non-complaint thread! we need more of these! :3

1. hop hop!

2. as a healer (SCH), in the current expert roulettes, the tanks in our datacentre pull everything so pre buffs before pull and jump away from that sudden aoe on your feet!

3. right stairs

4. run run!

5. im usually lazy to i jump down!

6. dungeons in JP data centre are for the most part, completely quiet but it's customary to say {Let's Do It!}/{よろしくお願いします！} upon entry and {お疲れ様でした！}/{Good Game!} upon duty complete.

7. depends on the fight, if it's savage or ex, as bard, im usually the 3rd or 2nd to die among the DPS (depending if i Quell) if the MT and ST dies and the boss goes ham on the DPS (our monk is usually the first to die from this since he has no enmity reducer). on DF in our datacentre wipes are rare and people don't give up easily and try to salvage the fight!

Jump an' flash or somethin if I can.


Both. Jump, buff, an' sprint.

Didn't do it.

Didn't do it.

Jump down, when there ain't invisible bloody walls inna way.

Chatty, ya can't shut me up if pressed.

I caused the problem an' I aim ta fix it too.

1. I'll normally run through it, but if I'm on a flying mount, I like to hover up and down as I approach and try to avoid touching the line, then realising it'll never work because it's aligned to me.

2. Jump while preparing buffs LOL , unless I'm tired and just feeling in a meh state.

3. I think I'm kinda more systematic here, if its A i'll go left, C i'll go right.. oh but B.. ok i'll go right.

4. I'll run + sprint. Even when bard plays a song to boost speeds (I know, sorry bards! bad habit :P )

5. Drop. And not just drop but unmount halfway through the drop too. Seems to be more fun to me , like my mounts going "oh screw this i'm out you land and hurt your own feet kthxbye"

6. Most times I'll just be hi/bye, since I'm on Tonberry and I get matched with lots of JP players.

7. I'm a healer .. so I guess all of those applied to me at some point or another, more times than I can remember for every one of them (except causing the wipe because I kinda have to be sure I don't, or else its a wipe =x)

Well here are my personal 5 weird things I tend to do alot

1. As a femroe on Sargatanas, I always try to storm salute another femroe. Also I storm salute commander Rhiki, Mistbeard and Merlwyb in hullbreaker isle HM

2. Whenever I switch to DRK and do my weapon stance, I hum Fate/Stay Night's intro

3. There was a time when I glamoured myself in coeurl gear. I never failed to do my battle stance emote before a boss fight (on my WAR no less)

4. Never miss a chance to be frozen in a really awkward pose during Shiva's diamond dust sequence

5. Now I don't do this as often as I did before or would like to but sometimes, I'll go the Drowning Wench, wait until a player comes in, sit down and say something like "I'd get up from this chair but I took a table to the knee". It gets some laughs

1. When you approach a zone line, do you try to hop over it or just go through it?
I jump over or sprint. Every. Time. I don't even know why. o.O

2. Between pulls in a dungeon do you jump, prep buffs for the next pull, both, anything else?
Prep buffs then do a random dance or emote like /em licks <t>.

3. If/When/The last time you did/do Syrcus Tower, before and/or after the first trash pack, did/do you take the left staircase or the right? (Or impatiently spam-click the teleporter because screw walking.)
Left. Always left. Or teleport if it was ready.

4. On a related note, for Labyrinth and Syrcus Tower, do you walk/run to the first trash pack or do you use the teleporter?
If the teleport was up I'd use it, if not I'd sprint.

5. When you have to go to an area that's set below you in ARR zones (Camp Drybone, Witchdrop, 789th Order Dig, etc.), do you take the "intended" exit/entrance ramp or just drop down?
Drop~ Superhero landing!

6. In dungeons, are you chatty, just say hello and goodbye/good game, do you not say anything, or do you wait until something goes wrong to speak up?
I always say hello and try to be chatty. I have more fun if the group is talkative and makes each other laugh etc.

7. In a wipe, are you likely to be the person that caused it, the last man standing, a casualty of the wipe-causing mechanic, the person that tries to salvage the fight, or do you see the inevitable and give up early?
I'm usually one who tries to salvage it being a WHM, I never give up early even if it looks impossible because on the odd occasion my group has managed to finish off a boss with 2 players left near death. Always go out fighting I say! xD I have caused plenty of wipes too though I am sure, especially when new to a raid.

and this. Always this. :3

PS. what are your answers OP. :O

1. Just run through it.
2. A mix between jumping and running.
3. Have yet to do this DG, but if teleport is an option, I'd take it.
4. Run.
5. Always drop if I can.
6. Usually just use auto translate to greet and say goodbye.
7. Depends, if I've never done the DG before I may be the one to cause a wipe from not doing a mechanic correctly or I'll be a casualty.
8. I usually do the Manderville.

1. Just walk through in this game.

2. I'm a tank, if I'm not already pulling the next group by time the last body hits the floor everyone's mad at me for being so slow and wasting their time.

3. I'm left handed so anytime I have an option I'll go left.

4. Walk.

5. Always take the path, not a fan of hurting my character just cause it's quicker.

6. I ask what size of pulls people want, everyone says they don't care which means they want large but don't want to be blamed if there's a wipe and are leaving it up to me since then they can just blame the tank. Other then that anything else just comes off as begging for a comm at the end.

7. Rarely the true problem, but as a tank I'm always the one at fault, if you know what I mean.

1. When you approach a zone line, do you try to hop over it or just go through it?
I guess I usually hop over it, but not always, sometimes I'll just walk through.

2. Between pulls in a dungeon do you jump, prep buffs for the next pull, both, anything else?
I'm a tank, so I'll glance to make sure the party is ready/nobody has an emergency they need to wait for, then pull. I'll also top off buffs that may have dropped if I'm not MT in something like a 24-man raid.

3. If/When/The last time you did/do Syrcus Tower, before and/or after the first trash pack, did/do you take the left staircase or the right? (Or impatiently spam-click the teleporter because screw walking.)
It doesn't matter to me, I'll take either staircase.

4. On a related note, for Labyrinth and Syrcus Tower, do you walk/run to the first trash pack or do you use the teleporter?
I walk to it, never even considered waiting for the teleporter.

5. When you have to go to an area that's set below you in ARR zones (Camp Drybone, Witchdrop, 789th Order Dig, etc.), do you take the "intended" exit/entrance ramp or just drop down?
I don't particularly like throwing my character from high places, so I'll usually either take the intended path, or gradually sort of hop down if that's an option, so I don't take any damage.

6. In dungeons, are you chatty, just say hello and goodbye/good game, do you not say anything, or do you wait until something goes wrong to speak up?
I hate roulettes, so I won't really speak unless spoken to if I'm in one of those. If it's something like PotD and my party is friendly, I'm happy to chat with them, made some friends that way. I'll also offer to give advice if I see a new player message in a dungeon I know well and they want the help.

7. In a wipe, are you likely to be the person that caused it, the last man standing, a casualty of the wipe-causing mechanic, the person that tries to salvage the fight, or do you see the inevitable and give up early?
I'm probably the last man standing a good 99% of the time that there's a wipe mechanic, and I'm actually pretty good at salvaging fights even when it's only me left. I really hate to die, especially if the thing is on the last 10%.

1. Depends if I'm auto walking or not.

2. Also depends. If my friends are jumping around I'll jump too for extra hype.

3. I take the left

4. I forget there is even a teleporter when I'm in there

5. drop it like it's hot

6. I usually just say hello and gg but I try to talk to people if it feels like they'd respond to things I'm saying (they usually don't)

7. Usually the last man standing and get this huge pressure of "KILL IT!" because it's at 1% but i'm a lowly squishy blm.

1. Hop~

2. Between pulls in a dungeon do you jump, prep buffs for the next pull, both, anything else? Uhm... both xD. and if i'm running with a freind i'll /slap once for good luck!

3. whichever is closer (never teleporter)

4. run~

5. intended path... depended on why im there. if there's an S rank i'm falling off evrything

6. personally im not a fan of overly chatty people in pugs. So I try to keep it to greetings.

7. Depends on what it is and how many times I ran it. But I guess i'm the nerd who gets lazered one hit bc i didnt know where to go on my first run. Others im last man.

ADDITIONAL: 1) I'm always standing on the far right pillar in idleshire. 2) I adjust my camera just a bit to peek at another character if they have pretty glam/characters.... xD

1. When you approach a zone line
I rush as if that can help loading faster.

2. Between pulls in a dungeon
Try to cast thunder.

3. If/When/The last time you did/do Syrcus Tower...
Never joined that raid.

4. On a related note, for Labyrinth and Syrcus Tower...
Pass...

5. When you have to go to an area that's set below you in ARR zones
Jump and listen to the sound as if my ass aches.

6. In dungeons
Only say Hi when lazy, say nothing all the way when lazy and tired, talk a little if I feel the conversation won't go confusing.

7. In a wipe
BLM is not a good alternative to tank. However I can try to cast sleep upon the mobs. Sometimes I die before casting. Sometimes I succeed, then LB and we survive. Most of the time, I just sleep the enemies, tank or another DPS immediately lays an AOE to knock them awake...we wipe, I weep.

1. Not really, mostly because I tend to teleport most of the time, but I don't recall jumping over a line.

2. I'm pretty sure I don't jump, but if I do it's random. I do jump during pulling so I can throw my axe behind me.

3. I usually run all the way so I don't think I ever did that.

4. I always do the trash pack. Got nothing better to do anyway.

5. I'm not sure about this, but I'm positive that I just drop down. Again, I mostly teleport.

6. If they talk, I'll talk, if they don't, I won't.

7. I'm usually the last man standing, alongside being the one who tries to salvage the fight. In addition I don't give up due to the fact that I already have nothing else to do, so it seems meaningless to give up.

1. Frontflip for style.
2. See above.
3. Left because why not?
4. I'm usually one of the first to arrive.
5. Jump down.
6. I always introduce myself and go from there. If the party's chatty than so am I.
7. Never give up. Never surrender.

And I always do weird stuff during Diamonds Dust.

1. I never really got into the bunny hop thing but as for zone lines, usually just run through unless I get the random urge to jump over.

2. Depends on the role I'm currently in but that's usually DPS so there's not much to prep unless I'm on mnk in which case Form Shift to get myself ready for the next group!

3. Left staircase.

4. Only ever use teleporters after a wipe or if I join an in-progress.

5. Completely depends on my mood. I'm more likely to jump down if I'm on a mount that seems like it could actually make the fall unscathed.

6. Usually just the normal "Hey folks" and "take care" or "nice working with ya!" but if the group is chatty or seems open to talking, I try to fill in the silence between pulls.

7. I like to think it's because I played FFXI for so many years and learned to see how a fight is turning moment by moment so I'm able to react fast enough to salvage a pull that's going south or a boss fight that will come down to the last 1%.

I often find myself stance dancing (healer, dps, tank) to maximize survivability or to ease burdens on other roles etc. This game is a lot more punishing though and less flexible in letting roles cross over into other positions so more often than not even with all the best reactions it'll be a wipe anyway. But man is it sweet seeing the dust settle after the last mob or boss drops with you on the brink of death !

Thanks for the responses and feedback, guys and gals! Since someone asked about mine, I'll oblige. ALSO I DID ADD ONE I CAN'T BELIEVE I FORGOT. D=

1. As someone that's a Mega Man fan, I can't resist jumping over zone lines.
2. Most of the time I'm spamming jump. And probably annoying people. I just can't be still most of the time. Of course if I'm running heals I'll make sure to refresh buffs when I can.
3. This question is actually the originator of the idea for this thread. Depending on my mood, I'll teleport or take the left staircase. After the trash pack is done though, I've recently made it a point to take the right staircase. I'm surprisingly one of few that do so in most groups.
4. Again, this is dependent on my mood. If I feel like goofing off I'll spam-click the teleporter. If I see that people are actually kind of friendly at the beginning, I'll be polite and appropriate and run to the first pack.
5. I drop down every time. I tend to forget there's even a ramp in some of these areas.
6. Generally speaking, I try to be friendly enough to say hello at least, and since I'm shy I really don't speak up unless I feel like I can either help or if I feel comfortable enough to talk.
7. Depending on the content, 90% of the time I'm usually the last man standing and I'm usually pushing myself as hard as I can to do my part to salvage things. Then there's that 10% of the time that I've messed up and died BEFORE the wipe happens.
8. I dance. That's one thing I can't get enough of in this game is the variety of dance emotes you can get. I admit though when I get frozen in Shiva I'm horrible about getting the timing down and never get an emote off.

1. When you approach a zone line, do you try to hop over it or just go through it?
Just go through it.

2. Between pulls in a dungeon do you jump, prep buffs for the next pull, both, anything else?
Nothing. I might prep buffs.
But in Thornmarch, when the moogles all start dancing I use /mogdance.

3. If/When/The last time you did/do Syrcus Tower, before and/or after the first trash pack, did/do you take the left staircase or the right? (Or impatiently spam-click the teleporter because screw walking.)
I don't know about other data centers, but in ours A alliance always goes left and C goes right.
If I am in B alliance I just follow the leader.

4. On a related note, for Labyrinth and Syrcus Tower, do you walk/run to the first trash pack or do you use the teleporter?
I walk or run. Depends on my mood.

5. When you have to go to an area that's set below you in ARR zones (Camp Drybone, Witchdrop, 789th Order Dig, etc.), do you take the "intended" exit/entrance ramp or just drop down?
I almost always use the intended exit / entrance ramp.

6. In dungeons, are you chatty, just say hello and goodbye/good game, do you not say anything, or do you wait until something goes wrong to speak up?
I always say "hello" （よろしくお願いします）and "good game"（お疲れ様でした～）.
If I notice there are people in my server in my group, or if one other person is a friend or FC member I will talk more.

7. In a wipe, are you likely to be the person that caused it, the last man standing, a casualty of the wipe-causing mechanic, the person that tries to salvage the fight, or do you see the inevitable and give up early?
The person that tries to salvage the fight. Even if the fight requires two tanks I will pop Keen Flurry and Shade Shift and try to use Max-Potions and Second Wind as much as possible to take damage.
When I am ninja I am rarely the last one standing because I am often 2nd on hate list, so the boss will come to me next.
I never give up early unless I am in a raid and raid leader says "wipe and start over", because we have limited time.

8. In trials, during a boss's ultimate attack, what do you do? Dance, emote, buff, anything else? Feel free to include Shiva's Diamond Dust as a separate case because getting frozen in different poses is half the fun.
In Thornmarch I do /mogdance. Other than that, nothing.

But, when I get petrified in the Aetherochemical Research Facility, I always take a screenshot.

1: If I'm on the ground I usually jump, I just jump a lot when walking out of boredom.

2: Depends, if I'm on bard I'll most likely just dot up one or 2 mobs as the tank pulls them, otherwise I just walk/pop a throwaway cd if i'm on tank for a big pull (foresight etc).

3: I always just used the closest stairs to where I spawned in (A go left C go right) B I'd usually go left.

4: Walk, it's not like waiting for the teleporter is much more enjoyable and it isn't faster.

5: Jump, always jump.

6: Usually nothing more than an auto translated Hello at the start, if other people try to keep a conversation going I might chime in.

7: If it's close to over I try to salvage, if it's early I'm very much a "just wipe it" person.

8: Just stand there, might jump around a little. On freeze ones I used to do the manderville but lately it's been the mog dance instead

I main MCH, and I always move to a high vantage point and pretend that I'm a sniper.

I almost always jump over the zone dots.

I don't really do any poses for trials except Moggle Mog. I always join the moogles in dancing. I'm so happy for the mog dance!

I pretty much always take the plunge when I have to get to a lower place. I like to think of myself as a person who would take the intended route though.

1. When you approach a zone line, do you try to hop over it or just go through it?
   
   I usually go on my chocobo and see how far I can run behind it before the loading screen triggers.
2. Between pulls in a dungeon do you jump, prep buffs for the next pull, both, anything else?
   
   I usually jump around.
3. If/When/The last time you did/do Syrcus Tower, before and/or after the first trash pack, did/do you take the left staircase or the right? (Or impatiently spam-click the teleporter because screw walking.)
   
   haven't dont ST yet on this char.
4. On a related note, for Labyrinth and Syrcus Tower, do you walk/run to the first trash pack or do you use the teleporter?
   
   see above
5. When you have to go to an area that's set below you in ARR zones (Camp Drybone, Witchdrop, 789th Order Dig, etc.), do you take the "intended" exit/entrance ramp or just drop down?
   
   drop down http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/i...es/biggrin.png
6. In dungeons, are you chatty, just say hello and goodbye/good game, do you not say anything, or do you wait until something goes wrong to speak up?
   
   I always say hello and goodbye.
   Chatty depends on the group. If they are rushers I usually dont say anything.
7. In a wipe, are you likely to be the person that caused it, the last man standing, a casualty of the wipe-causing mechanic, the person that tries to salvage the fight, or do you see the inevitable and give up early?
   
   Last man standing usually.
8. In trials, during a boss's ultimate attack, what do you do? Dance, emote, buff, anything else? Feel free to include Shiva's Diamond Dust as a separate case because getting frozen in different poses is half the fun.
   
   Run around in panic

1. I'm boring. I just walk through it as if I were flying.

2. I mostly just follow the tank. If I'm tanking, I don't wait- I'm immediately running to the next trash. I'm used to trying to help keep a monk/ninja/summoner's grease/huton/stacks.

3. I race everyone! :> I think I take the right stairs the most, though.

4. I still race everyone, popping sprint twice. If I'm on dragoon, I elusive jump as soon as the barrier drops, turn, pop sprint and race!

5. Depends on how much of a rush I'm in. If I'm doing something like grabbing nodes for mats for housing items, I'm impatient. I'll just drop down. Just like I tend to follow paths unless I'm in a rush.

6. I usually just do /egreeting at the start and /bow at the end. I'm not very talkative in game, but I don't want to seem rude either.

7. I'm that person who tries to salvage the run to the bitter end. During the first week of Mhachi, I was that insane healer keeping one other person up on the last boss from 70% until its dead.

8. I used to dance, but if I'm on scholar, I blow all my healing buffs and try for that critlo to spread for that juicy 0 damage.

I don't usually jump unless I have to, so no on the zone lines.

I don't usually do anything in between pulls except run, the jobs I frequent don't have much to prep.

I usually stand by the teleporter and wait for it to activate so I can take the lazy way forward and still get there in the middle of the pack. XD

If there's a choice of staircases I don't always pay attention but if I do I'll take the opposite from the one most people take.

When I'm tanking Fractal, I always go left in the final section. Most people go right, and see my above comment. XD

I always make sure I greet at the start of a dungeon, and at the end if I can. I'm chatty sometimes, especially when I'm running with a friend, but not always.

I'm often the last man standing in wipes, unless I'm the tank, then I'm the first to die (because that's usually how wipes happen) I always found this especially fun to do when playing drg. So many times have I run circles in that one room in AV waiting for the rest of the party to run back. XD

And if it's a trial or a boss fight and it's a lost cause I usually do the Manderville as I'm waiting to be killed. If you're gonna go out, you wanna go out in style, amirite? XD (yes I put the Manderville on my combat hotbars especially so I can do this).

I don't usually do anything special during a boss' ultimate, but I might start! I do always dance on the elevators in ARF. And I often take screenshots during the time stops in A12.

1. Depends on how much in a hurry I am. If I have enough time to play on that day I try to jump it.

2. Swiftcast + Stoneskin II

3. Right staircase.

4. Run.

5. Drop down like a big popoto.

6. "Hello" and "Thank you for the party". Unless something is too awesome to let pass or is bothering me too much I will stay quiet.

7. As a healer, I'm always the person that tries to salvage it.

8. Usually I am looking out for any members with weakness to Stoneskin, but when it's an old fight I just stand in there or use /bstance.

When dodging AOE,I've always JUMP out of the telegraph.I know it doesn't help me out any faster but I still do it anyway ... and can't change that.

1. When you approach a zone line, do you try to hop over it or just go through it?
Depends on my mood, sometimes I hop/jump other times I walk.

2. Between pulls in a dungeon do you jump, prep buffs for the next pull, both, anything else?
If I remember, I charge buffs, if not I just follow the tank to the next pull.

3. If/When/The last time you did/do Syrcus Tower, before and/or after the first trash pack, did/do you take the left staircase or the right? (Or impatiently spam-click the teleporter because screw walking.)
I can't remember.

4. On a related note, for Labyrinth and Syrcus Tower, do you walk/run to the first trash pack or do you use the teleporter?
I walk.

5. When you have to go to an area that's set below you in ARR zones (Camp Drybone, Witchdrop, 789th Order Dig, etc.), do you take the "intended" exit/entrance ramp or just drop down?
Wheeeeeeeeeeeee~

6. In dungeons, are you chatty, just say hello and goodbye/good game, do you not say anything, or do you wait until something goes wrong to speak up?
Depends on the group, I usually say hello, thank you and bye. I'm not a convo starter myself but will indulge if someone else starts one.

7. In a wipe, are you likely to be the person that caused it, the last man standing, a casualty of the wipe-causing mechanic, the person that tries to salvage the fight, or do you see the inevitable and give up early?
I go down fighting!

8. In trials, during a boss's ultimate attack, what do you do? Dance, emote, buff, anything else? Feel free to include Shiva's Diamond Dust as a separate case because getting frozen in different poses is half the fun.
Mantra~

1. Jumpy-jumpy!

2. Might do it on the pulls after a boss, but I'm usually lazy and save them

3. Random every time

4. Always walking. Gotta be FIRST!

5. Never walking, jumpy-jumpy!

6. Usually hello/bye, but if something happens or the others are chatty, I'm willing to talk.

7. We are all responsible for a wipe once in a while, but I'm usually commited to finish.

8. Just standing there, except Diamond Dust where I jump like an idiot, trying in vain to get caught mid air.

I sprint + jump to see if I go further or higher over the zone line.

I'm usually sprinting just in front or behind the tank between pulls.

In ST I would take the staircase depending on which group I was in. A or C. For B it was random.

In parties I am silent at the start as I am buffing. At the end I always turn to the party and bow. Twice sometimes.

I sprint and jump off ledges for the shortest route and to see how far I can go.

I try to do funny things in Shiva but I always fail.

As healer - I'm either dead or one of the last to die. I usually try to stick things out to the bitter end.

I'm a whm on a controller. So I sprint everywhere and only talk if I have a keyboard handy.

I've been playing World of Final Fantasy while I queue for Leveling Roulette as a DPS, so that's my new habit. I emote every single time in A12 when everyone freezes.

1. Casually stroll. Sometimes I get yelled at, but everyone's always in such a rush! Besides, a casual saunter makes you look cooler!

2. I sometimes /Hildy or/Eureka.

4. Again, casual saunter.

5. Geronimo!

6. Chatty Cathy! I'm always making snarky or tongue-in-cheek comments! Sometimes I get told to shut up instead of wisecrack though.

7. I'll either try to salvage the run or be the last one standing! Just meekly rolling over and dying is unattractive.

8. /beckon + /Hildy, in that order. Gimme your best shot!

1. I jump over it! Too many years of being conditioned playing Mega Man right before the boss door slides open.

2. Prep buffs or dance.

3. Usually the one on the left

4. Run to the trash

5. When you have to go to an area that's set below you in ARR zones (Camp Drybone, Witchdrop, 789th Order Dig, etc.), do you take the "intended" exit/entrance ramp or just drop down?

6. I always try to say hello/gg/goodbye/thank you or bow/wave/bid farewell.

7. Depends on the fight and how experienced I am at it.I always try to salvage it if possible.

8. I do the Dragoon's victory jump to see if I can get stuck in mid air. :)

1. I jump usually. I jump a lot in this game.

2. If I'm not the tank I just /follow and tab out for a quick peek at my browser and chats. If I am then I'll pull most of the trash mobs until the dead end (unless the healer can't handle it).

5. Jump of course. The squeaky grunting my character or my Chocobo makes when he falls down pretty deep is kinda cute not gonna lie...
Also If somebody's familiar with the Immortal Flames HQ they'd know the shortcut where you have to jump through the partitions instead of going the long way.

6. I greet people and say thanks after. Sometimes I forget. I try to chat whenever someone starts a conversation though.

7. It depends honestly, since I mainly play SMN I'm the one who tries to salvage but there are times I make the mistakes.

8. I think I do nothing on this one... As a healer I'll buff of course. Diamond Dust? It's been ages since I've been in that fight.

1. When you approach a zone line, do you try to hop over it or just go through it? I go thought it.

2. Between pulls in a dungeon do you jump, prep buffs for the next pull, both, anything else? As SCH I always put Adloquium to tank before 1 enemy down, same with as WHM/Diurnal AST

3. If/When/The last time you did/do Syrcus Tower, before and/or after the first trash pack, did/do you take the left staircase or the right? (Or impatiently spam-click the teleporter because screw walking.) In JP server A goes to left and C goes to right. B is up to them.

4. On a related note, for Labyrinth and Syrcus Tower, do you walk/run to the first trash pack or do you use the teleporter? I always run to trashpack

5. When you have to go to an area that's set below you in ARR zones (Camp Drybone, Witchdrop, 789th Order Dig, etc.), do you take the "intended" exit/entrance ramp or just drop down? I always jump down.

6. In dungeons, are you chatty, just say hello and goodbye/good game, do you not say anything, or do you wait until something goes wrong to speak up? I usually use auto translator. At first I use <Let's do it!> which is same with <よろしくお願いします!> and in the end I use <Good game!> which is same with <お疲れ様でした!>. I always chat at English LS.

7. In a wipe, are you likely to be the person that caused it, the last man standing, a casualty of the wipe-causing mechanic, the person that tries to salvage the fight, or do you see the inevitable and give up early? Mostly I'm last man standing because sometimes I put Adloquium to myself lol

8. In trials, during a boss's ultimate attack, what do you do? Dance, emote, buff, anything else? Feel free to include Shiva's Diamond Dust as a separate case because getting frozen in different poses is half the fun. At shiva I do highlander's /pose, at moogle before there's mogdance I dance with /bombdance.

I tend to queue up as healer, so i make sure that i refresh Stoneskin on everyone (or at least the tank). I rarely jump between pu... Oh! Zone lines! \( ^_^)/

I always walk up the stairs, but it's totally random in which direction i go.

I tend to take the intended exit/entrance, unless i'm in a rush. (^_^; ) (Saying "Wheeee~!" as i go down...) It's the same with Ozma. Whenever Ozma sucks us in through the Black Hole, i always say "Wheeeee~!" in party chat. Hahaha.

I always start off by saying "<Hello!> (^_^ )/ <Nice to meet you!>". After that it really depends on the duty and the rest of the group. EX Roulettes tend to be rather quiet because people really like to run through it as fast as they can. But, when it comes to content like PotD, i like to insert a joke every once and awhile. Mostly based on something that happened during the run. For instance, whenever someone turns into a toad, i'll use "/blowkiss" on them. Just for the fun of it as well as to see how they respond to it. You can get rather funny conversations by doing that:

It's really mixed. There have been more than enough times that i've been the one causing it (it's never good when you die and you're the healer of the group), but i've also been the last man standing quite a few times. If i see that the situation is unsalvageable (because the tank pulled more than we as a group could handle), i'd give up once the tank dies.

Normally i'd buff up, but Shiva is the exception to the rule. lol I always try out new emotes, to see how i'd freeze up. I do the same thing with Scylla in ST. When i get the Frost orb attached to me, i always jump right before it hits me, so that i'll freeze up when i'm still up in the air.

Yay! A fun thread! o/

1. When you approach a zone line, do you try to hop over it or just go through it? Jump over it. Every time.

2. Between pulls in a dungeon do you jump, prep buffs for the next pull, both, anything else? I usually bounce around. Because my character looks silly when she's jumping. If I'm running something with friends, and if we're waiting for a bit at bosses for whatever reason, I tend to run around them in circles.

3. If/When/The last time you did/do Syrcus Tower, before and/or after the first trash pack, did/do you take the left staircase or the right? (Or impatiently spam-click the teleporter because screw walking.) I think I tend to take the right staircase the most.

4. On a related note, for Labyrinth and Syrcus Tower, do you walk/run to the first trash pack or do you use the teleporter? I always run. I rarely ever use the teleporters except for if I've joined in progress, or after a wipe.

5. When you have to go to an area that's set below you in ARR zones (Camp Drybone, Witchdrop, 789th Order Dig, etc.), do you take the "intended" exit/entrance ramp or just drop down? I always jump down and watch as my health plummets to 1 HP.

6. In dungeons, are you chatty, just say hello and goodbye/good game, do you not say anything, or do you wait until something goes wrong to speak up? I always say hello, and I always thank the party for the run, even if it was terrible. I will speak up to give advice between pulls since I play on PS4 and have to switch my controller for my wireless keyboard.

7. In a wipe, are you likely to be the person that caused it, the last man standing, a casualty of the wipe-causing mechanic, the person that tries to salvage the fight, or do you see the inevitable and give up early? My FC mate and I are firm believers of "Never give up; never surrender." So we usually fight until we die. XD But some times, if we're told to wipe it, I will sheathe my weapon and bounce around the boss until they punch me to death (or jump off the arena, if you can do so).

8. In trials, during a boss's ultimate attack, what do you do? Dance, emote, buff, anything else? Feel free to include Shiva's Diamond Dust as a separate case because getting frozen in different poses is half the fun. I either resume my favorite past time of bouncing around, or I will do /golddance.
