A positive post

I hope this does not get trolled, as it was a happy night.
For the last two weeks i have failed Bardams mettle 2nd boss due to being partially sighted, honestly wanted to quit to the game, as i just couldn't do it.
It hit new year, and i done a shout out saying hqppy new year, just wish i wasnt stuck.
Immediately Little Jenni, Hana Akari, Little Muryka (from Phoenix) responded wanting to help.
They could of easily gone unsynched for speed, but they offered to queue so i could at least get xp
We cleared the dungeon, finally its gone from my log
Just want to say thanks, I haven’t used the forum in years, since it hurts my eyes to try read, please don’t troll, this was a good thing, and all three of them were amazing, it reinvigorated my love for the franchise
So even if you hate the game right now, it’s made me love it
Played on character Demetri, as I couldn’t figure out my old main lol
Happy new year everyone, and thanks to the three, that made me realise this game has one amazing community

I'm glad you had a positive experience :D gg!

Thank you, in one night I went from wanting to quit since I couldn’t progress, to wanting to see what comes next, happy new year!

There are usually people willing to help, especially for situations like this. If you find the right Free Company, you will probably find some people who will help regularly as well. You can analyze a person's FC and apply to it directly, or you can ask the ones recruiting on the Community Finder website at https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes...hoenix&type=fc

For sprouts and returners, there is also the Novice Network which mentors can invite you to, but I don't know if you are either of those or not.

It can normally be done without everyone succeeding at it, as long as at least 1 person manages it. That 1 person can make a few mistakes, too, as long as the mistakes are not close together.

However, it's possible for you to cause someone else to fail it, so your aim in it doesn't have to be to do it correctly, but rather to not hit anyone else with your mechanics.

Some people will only help unsynced, but there are usually people that will do it synced because they know the first time experience is better that way.

Happy New Year! Congratulations on your clear, I'm glad it cheered you up!

Glad you started the new year with a good experience!

Bardams can certainly be that way depending on the people with

glad you finally got it and Happy New Year

Hey, congratulations man! Glad to see you cleared a hurdle.

Thank you for the kind comments, and no trolls, it’s made me love the game even more ❤️

I did bardams mettle on release and did struggle with the 2nd boss for a long time due to my disability. So I'm glad you made it through.

Congrats on your clear!

What makes that one harder for me, is if I fail the mechanic with duty support, it’s instant wipe, where as other bosses, You can usually just recover, honestly I never wanna go back to that place again

Well, I'm on Phoenix too - I can't claim to be a particularly capable player, though I try my best, and am always happy to help if you're forming a team and need someone who is willing to do their best to try and help out :)

Thanks, appreciated

It's a bit of a shame to lean on Duty support so heavily IMO. Hopefully this experience gives you the motivation to queue more++

Protip: If you are sweating it, just give the group a heads up with something like 'Hey, I'm new and still getting used to stuff, go easy!' and the vast majority of players will be absolutely fine to run things at your pace once they know what to expect.

Eitherway, congrats on the clear, I've got some great memories from Bardams too, great dungeon!

Yes definitely let people know if you’re new and/or having trouble with something. :)

My last two Aglaia runs, the entire Alliance agreed to slow down the dps on the final boss so the 1 or 2 new people we had could see the scales mechanic. :) Always a good feeling to see everyone work together to make the experience more enjoyable!

congratulations on the clear ! , always sweet to see other's achieve something they wanted to get.
