Ragequitting in Duty Finder has leveled up!

[Alukah]

Sounds about right. So no more "How do I gear "X job" from fresh fiddies. You hear that. It has all been answered here. You only run these dungeons to get VANITY gear and vanity gear...well apparrel ONRY. IDGAF if you think your job needs that piece to get the extra point of iLVL to get into that Duty you have been trying for, go HUNT sukka, I'm here to get FAB-U-LOUS!!

Hunts are the answer to all gear problems. Nuff said.

Eh, I'll give you 2/10 for trying, I'm feeling generous.

You are all too generous, but keep em, they are worthless to me. Might you instead spread your generosity to those that would actually need something that drops, that to you is trivial, and to them is needed?

If it were purely vanity as you claim it is, why does it have stats? Oh, because it was meant to be used by players that, crazy enough, need it in the interim of getting i90/i100 gear. Your impression implies that anyone can just stumble upon tomes and seals. Granted they have become much easier to obtain, but why would you waste seals on i90 gear when you can either use myth or spam farm first coil? Saving seals for oils / sands /alex seems more efficient than bowing 20 - 50 seals on i90.

They are vanity to you because they are below your current iLVL. They are not vanity to someone who needs them, they were not developed and designed as vanity pieces, period.

I'm glad to see you agree with me that they are much easier to obtain.

You can hardly call i80 an upgrade when it takes one or two days to get a full i90 set. Why not use seals on i90 gear? It's not like you can bypass the weekly soldiery cap for soldiery gear, so by the time you get full soldiery I'm sure you can spare a few seals for the minimum gear to do pretty much any content, or use both myth and seals to get there even faster.

I don't think you realize how stupidly easy it is to cap myth after they ruined the game with the hunt, also adding in the increased myth bonus from roulette and the fact that any newbie will get a first time bonus from the long list of lvl 50 dungeons they will do.

I shouldn't take a penalty for someone else having a crappy connection. I pay for a worthwhile connection, they can too.

You unhappy of what DF gave you and want leave without penalty. Bad news (for you) is that the penalty has been made to address attitude like yours.

You think it's everyone's obligation to party with people who can't stay connected to the game, or perform so poorly at their role so as to make the run totally unwinnable? The bad news (for you) is that there's nothing forcing good players to carry bad players, and forcing a vote dismiss means no timer penalty. The only person who gets their time wasted is the player with the poor connection/skill, so... yay!

It's totally selfish to go into a run KNOWING you are having severe latency issues and make everyone else suffer because, well, screw them. Ain't nobody got time for dat. Especially when if you're in DF, you probably had to wait forever to get into that run to begin with. Try thinking of others in addition to just yourself, at least to some degree.

[Defteros]

making leg issue a player's fault it's really bad.

most of the timers, i play without problems.
If during a dungeon, I get lag spikes that makes me play bad, why should I get kicked?

I'm the first who abandons ST when I see i lag and can't play, but getting kicked from a dungeon because I didn't avoid that AoE because of the lag, it's plain rude.

I KNOW that sometimes I get latency issues. so what should I do, never use the duty finder ever again, because I'm wasting someone's time?
srsly.

from what 16bitBounty wrote, that player died during the last boss.
he was't carried by the others for the entire dungeon.

so why don't just suck it up and end the dungeon, at this point?
yesterday I've done an Aurum Vale run as a Healer, wher the tank was always getting targeted by the last boss bad breath.
I kicked him? I abandoned the duty? no. I continued healing, and cleared the dungeon.

someone just have to realize that not every run goes smooth and fast as they want.

[Alise]

Simply, make it so that you can never claim the loot until you clear the whole dungeon. You may get them first during the run, but it never go into your inventory until the dungeon is cleared. Many hunting kind of game do this to prevent people from doing a little and reset out. This would also fix mythology run and other too. Mainly all the reward is to be claimed only if you clear it whole.

@Hiruke:


Point is: you cannot complain about your party when PUGgin'

I think there's more to this story, guys, than we're really letting on.

I often frequently get tanks who leave my dungouns after the first boss. At first, I thought it was a glitch, so I unplugged my internet modem to turn it off and turn it back on. I expected my tank and party members to be ready and more willing when I came back, however, it never seemed to change anything - the tanks would always drop after the first boss. I began to think this was the way the game was meant to be played - maybe something just happened to tanks after that first boss? But I really wanted to see more, so I kept going.

As I continued deeper, every now and then, I would see something - a flash would be used, but none of us were outside of our Jobs. Sometimes you'd see the Circle of Scorn motion raining down blood from the roof...? As I walked, I could hear this sound of multiple slashes resembling Savage Blade going off constantly...

We finally reached the second boss. And what I saw, I almost couldn't believe. There was my tank, standing and waiting for me - but he was different. He no longer had a head! I began to freak out. Boss battle music began to play, and he charged at me with his weapon! We started to fight the tank, but our attacks had no effect on him. The entire time, there's an NPC who shared our image in the middle, suffering constant attacks and coming closer and closer to death. The moment he died, the fight just... ended, and we were awarded loot. Tank drops? Why must the server mock us when we don't even have our tank? We've been working hard up to this point, but I guess we'll just have to continue to go if we want to clear this...

By this point I'd of expected to get a new tank by now, but all there is, is the persistent 'readying duty...' marker over in that right corner. I swallowed nervously, because now that the body had dissapeared, it stated that we were at 3/4ths our tank. I wasn't sure what to make of this, and the wierdness continued. Every now and then, while fighting mobs, we would see some oddness - some would use the tank skills. Rampart, Sentinal, even HOLLOWED GROUND was used at one point and we just couldn't do any damage to it. We had to start running to get away from some of these mobs, or else we'd never be able to win...

We finally got to the last boss, and much to our horror, it was the HEAD OF OUR TANK. Floating there. He gave a hollow smile to us and said "Thanks for waiting for me while I was afk"... I could feel my heart beating in my chest as he started to slowly approach me, to come towards me with that sense of dread...

I didn't know what would happen, so I turned off my game, completely. Square, please, FIX THIS DUNGOUN.
