new trend happening in dungeons

[HEC]

The real issue comes at end game. I'm in the end zone now, with chat flooded by "must be exp..." - " must have gear of ........." - "no first timers..." It will only get worse when gear score arrives.

Good 60 - 80% of those jerks will dissapear in about 2 - 3 weeks time - both due to unwilling to sub for the game as well as they've burned out through the content too fast and will simply get bored. Some will return in 3 months once the 2.1 will be released for another month and then dissapear again and so on ... This "PC only" / "Geared up & Experienced only" kind of snobism is the worst possible atitude in the game really ...

People acting like that is the main reason I quit WoW. If it happens here as well then I'll do the same thing, level to the end game and enjoy as much of the plot and story as I can and then quit. I hate gear score systems, the addition of the GS addon was the single worst thing to happen to World of Warcraft in the entire history of the game.

After reading this, it sounds like I've been pretty fortunate - as a new tank.

In the first raid I did (Sastasha), the monk talked me through everything, and even marked the enemies. Consequently, the next raid, Tam Tara, was a cakewalk.

I caught the wrong half of a bomb explosion in Copperbell (and got locked out of the Slime room) but nobody seemed to mind - and we finished the raid easily.

And in Ifrit, an experienced guy helped us even though Hell Fire killed us three times.

I am getting increasingly nervous the more I gain levels, however! It seems like it's only a matter of time before somebody notices I'm not very good at tanking

No one is good at tanking. It's just a mass of players who can't hold aggro, or don't even try. Don't lose hope though, you're probably much better than most, and a willingness to learn is key.

I'm confused by everyone saying they ask if there are first-timers. The game pops up saying you're getting the first-timer bonus, isn't that a dead giveaway? I've never had an instance where it wasn't someone's first time through and we never had to ask...

now that u mention cutscenes... i did the 2nd last story dungeon last night this poor guy/girl got abused for watchin the cutscenes lol they were like dont make 7 ppl wait if u wanna watch the cutscenes watch them after in the inn instead of wasting our time.... i thought to myself seriously??? ._.

i wasnt referrin to those who ask so they can give advice was referrin to the 1s who leave instantly some1 says its thier first time lol

personally i think a party wiping is a part of learning, bein new to a dungeon is a chance to see how the boss mechanics work/ get used to the fights.. myself ive died a few times on some bosses.. espiecally the meanie demon door boss in keep but after a few attempts u know the patterns of the boss attacks and its quite easy after that ;/ just leavin after 1 death is just >_< but i agree there should b bigger punishments for deserters to encourage ppl to stick to the dungeon teams cause the debuff isnt much atm and ppl dont mind waitin 5mins or somethin to use DF again... hopefully they implement somethin in future patches to stop this happening ;/

I don't get why people says that since the cutscenes are a part of the instance and not the quest so you actually can't watch them at the inn

The only time I've ever abandoned a dungeon is when a SMN deliberately ignored the marks and dotted all the mobs after I had slept them and then proceeded to kill any mob other than "1". My boyfriend (my pocket tank) pointed it out, and the guy kept doing it. After twice more, we just left. Pretty sure the guy was just doing to to be an asshat.

yup i personally dont mind waitin for ppl to watch the cutscenes cause i enjoyed the whole story up to the current end game found it really enjoyable n some of the charcters r sooo cute :P n besides just cause some1 has seen it doesnt mean some1 else has to skip it due to somebodies impatience ;/

sometimes i might actually hit wrong target due to targettin on ps3 is pretty >_< so i generally wait 10 secs n scroll targets to make sure im hittin right 1 xD

I don't really believe this. If it is true then it's just a small percentage probably less than 5% of players in DF. I am playing a tank. I'm level 42 currently. I will be running stone Vigil when I get home from work. I run each dungeon at least 3 times until i crest over into the next dungeon. I have yet to see anyone get upset at all over new players. I do however see new players in something crazy like 90% of my runs. I can see where a fresh 50 might go through a period where is he the little dog. Honestly tho, who cares if some jackass makes a snide comment. F em.

Some people just wanna watch Eorzea burn! All these people with this sh1t attitude will be out of the game soon and it will be left to the people that just want to enjoy it and have fun! Stick in there OP!

lmao when u get to the point where ppl expect 20-30min dungeon runs ofc if theres a first timer its gonna b slower so these ppl just ditch the parties n find a new 1 = =

@ anarkh i just feel sory for the first timers in a dungeon considering most use df n generally have a reasonable longish wait its not fair on them is all when some1 just ditches them cause its thier first time 90% of the community r really nice, helpful n friendly ppl ;/ but its becoming more common atleast in my experince :P
