The greatest lolwut moments on a duty

[Chihaya]

Seeing a healer, joining my in progress Cutter's Cry because my original healer DC.

Upon seeing it's cutter's cry the replacement healer left without saying a word... and then re-joined.... then left... over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.

I was running T1 with my Dragoon yesterday...

The Off tank was new, which is fine. We get to ADS and since we do not have a Bard, The Paladin MT says he'll silence what he can. So, we're all getting hit by high voltage. The issue here, obviously is that we're stunned at times while trying to move out of the AOEs. Plus, the tanks were at the opposite end from each other and every ADS would target the off tank, he would move to the middle and then move back to the MT after. So, not only were the two Melee having to run out of AOEs while being stunned and slowed, but we were also having to chase ADS around when he'd move. On top of that, the healers wouldn't heal us when we got hit so if it happened twice, we were dead.

After a couple wipes, the healer says "The DPS is way too low so the OT is getting one shot". The OT then states that he has a parcer up and none of the DPS are doing more than 150 DPS. The main tank then start chastising us because "OMG, pick it up DPS, you have a 10% boost!". I then make a comment about not getting any heals at all and the healer says "Stop getting hit". As if we can move out of AOEs while we're stunned.... the healers also could have leeched/esunaed the paralyze now, but of course they didn't do that either. On top of that, the OT, who claimed all of the DPS sucked, kept whining because he kept getting owned due to "there are too adds over here and they keep one shotting me". I tanked this before the echo and never got one shot by those adds. And I would always gather them all. I'm guessing he just doesn't know how to CD...

Needless to say, I left the group and ate the timer.

While I'm doing horrible atma fates I queue for low level duty to break it up a little.

Get Titan storyline mode. Yay! Quick, easy tomes. I notice as I zone in there's a THM there, making he and me both ranged. Double yay! Then... I see it. (Player identity and appearance has been blurred out since, y'know, showing people by name isn't nice.)



Equipment is a hempen shepherds robe, hempen chuasses, bone ring, and voice of the just. ilevel... 4 maybe?

ANYWAY.

This player attempts to sleep Titan repeatedly, and doesn't... really know any form of rotation. But it gets worse! The WHM has no idea what he's doing, and individually cures everybody with Cure II at the end of each tumult. Not at the end of all 3. When Titan uses Geocrush, he and the THM move into the red area, and fall. The WHM at least seems to listen to advice, and I tell him that he's a little high on the hate list. It's best to medica twice after tumult, and stack on the tank after Geocrush to heal all of us more effectively, for less MP, and less emnity. I then ask the THM to see to Gaols with me, just in case he's unsure.

Second attempt! the WHM medicas after every single tumult, instead of waiting for all 3 to pass. He and the THM are then landslided, since they're stacked atop one another and wait for their casts to finish before moving. I think it's just poor luck and we'll get it on the third attempt, and the WAR gets an attitude. Third attempt, the WAR runs into the red and falls. I remain silent, not wanting to rub his attitude in his face, and he capslocks THE DOG HIT MY F**KING HAND!! GODDAMNIT! and I just... don't say anything. I just tell the WHM and THM that if they're having lag problems, if they get close to Titan, they can recover from Landslides by not being pushed over the edge.

4th attempt! THM landslided, again. WHM is still medica'ing after every tumult, runs out of MP, and fails to heal the WAR. The WAR dies, and abandons duty in a silent reagquit.

...The only vote abandon I've ever had to do.

I did titan story mode as a low level duty roulette.
Our bard uses the first minute to try to activate 2 different ballads, so he changes between two of them for a minute before starting dpsing, then gets hit by a landslide and falls down. Our healer used limit break level 1 for some reason. And me and the tank were both level 50 so we knew what we were doing. After the healer gets hit by a landslide and wipes we try again.

The bard does exactly the same thing and gets hit by the first landslide and falls down
and then our healer gets hit by a landslide too and we wipe

Third attempt, the bard..well you know the story, he gets hit by the first landslide (I really don't blame him I had some problems too my first titan run)
The healer manages to dodge the landslides and the tank has to kill the Gaol cause I got gaoled all the time
In the end, titan has like 10% hp left and we almost got LB 2, healer used lb for no reason, even though I asked him not to do that.
Then the healers get hit by double plumes or something while doing the lb animation and manages to die.
So me and the tank keep going and finally titan goes down.

I don't blame new players for failing at titan, I think that was the hardest part for me while leveling up my main. But it was just so funny to watch

As whm, healing through a dungeon without any problem, then find out that your mana pool was going down and down, and you don't understand why. Then you realize Cure I and II were swapped.

Queued for expert roulette and got into an ongoing brayflox hm immediately after start queue, they were all at the last boss locking the fight out for me, halfway on the way to the boss, the leftover couerl that they didn't kill saw me and I was on this hit and run one-on-one battle with it as a bard, the three members cheered me on while they're at the bomb phase. I kept running around in and out the narrow path to keep a distant from the couerl because of its aoe paralysis and then managed to take it down without dying, when I get back to the boss right after the BLM dps managed to take down the bomb with LB and then they defeated the boss without me, I got 45 soldiery just for killing a feline.

Nya?.... Wait, this shocked me a little. I thought it was impossible to join an already started party while doing roulette. Can somebody correct me? I'm a noob after all, but... all, ALL my roulettes (and all my roulettes mean, all of them tanking) have been started from scratch in new group... Doesn't happen the same when I choose a normal dungeon (without roulette) than then almost with a 50% I enter to an already started party where tank ragequitted.

Edit: Oh, but, wait, this is for adding lolwut moments... Uhm... Let's see what can I find around..... Ah, yes, yesterday.

I entered a Praetorium because of roulette and said my classical especial "ragequit filter" message. I said something like "Hi. I'm just a poor noob from the new EU server, Zodiark, nice to meet you all!" followed of a "I don't know very well the dungeon so I hope *name of the tank+senpai* can lead us to victory"

Then... The other tank ragequitted, well, nothing rare, I can't really count how many people ragequits after my salute... So we had to did the preaetorium with me solo-tanking... And we did it fine, it's not really a difficult battle or where it is needed two tanks...

The shock comes what happened after praetorium... THIS:




I said I was a noob at the first, I did nothing especial at all... Then why the hell everyone in the dungeon except one guy voted me?!... That was just... weird... I almost could imagine them saying this while voting: "Oh, I'm bored. I guess I'll vote the noob".

There were two healers doing an awesome work... I just didn't get it at all...

PS: Ah, yes, In the image you maybe received a shock noticing it.... .. ... Revenant's toll is empty!.... At least for now, in Zodiark is like that, it is epic. I have only seen these last week that its population increased in 7-10 or so when I visit, 4 of that are bots.

Watching someone dying to the gas in 1.0 Arum Vale, wondering why the whm was just letting it happen. Realising I'm the whm as they hit the floor. ( I was always mnk in there, first time in any dungeon as a healer and forgot lol)
Another time in there the whm (not me this time) deciding that the gas room was a good place to stop to have a conversation with someone outside the dungeon in /tell.

Being told by a healer in Titan HM to not stand in the middle. In other words, only the healers would be stacking plumes and the ranged DD's would be everywhere else. Something tells me they're going to have a great time in Titan EX...

I know, it's not that much of a lolwut, but to me, this is pretty much the biggest lolwut I've ever had in this game (excluding those times I was hit by plumes and landslides back in November. I was totally out of them I swears).

Tbh, people should never stand in that gas in the first place.
I always get annoyed as a healer when someone stands taking damage for no reason and say something like "please move out of the gas, it hurts".

I saw a dragoon (at this point I don't really need to go on) die from not moving out of the poison spit on Caduceus because he couldn't tell that he was taking damage.
