My Experience With Alexander Normal Yesterday As A Tank

[Arabian_Wolf]

A hello from a what many consider ingame and here a noob tank which I am proud of because there's a gigantic room to improve myself.

Yesterday I attempted A1 after many failed attempts few days ago (which include asking them if i bring boss to middle with other boss to Caster LB them, they responded with flaming after the wipe), went again, asked the group if BRD have to LB, thy said yes, got it down on 2nd try.

Went to A2, told them I was new, no respond (was made mostly of frenchies so no surprise), got kicked after 2nd failed attempt, went in again with different DF group, got it down from 1st time.

A3 time, told them again it was my 1st time, other tank was extremely helpful and explained most tactics, another member was almost as helpful, downed on 2nd try.

Lastly A4, told my 1st group that I was new, no respond and we wiped, left the group because they didn't want to bother explaining in short, went with a friend this time, downed on 1st attempt.

Seems very typical and I don't blame them. When players use the DF, they are expecting to be in and out of content with very few wipes. Not many people want to deal with someone that is new.

Why are you relying on someone else to tell you how to do it when you're already in the instance? Five minutes on youtube will save them the time of explaining, and won't make your attempt any less valid - you're still being told by someone else how to do it.

Put some effort in o_0

^^ Exactly the common attitude of what DF mostly made of, yeah. (above poster)
Most of them expect you to know every single bit, have watched the video and won't bother to explain a bit.
And your decision to go with your friend was the right choice. Congrats on the clear and choose carefully the accessories that you want from the quest reward, as gordian bolts are really pain in the butt to grind. :P

Btw, you still get hungry for Au ra?

I never saw a PF for Alex normal so only option for me was to DF it.

Not trying to be rude here, but you realize you can make your own PF, yea?

Don't want to spoil the bosses story-wise so videos are no-no for me, so I usually read short tactics and kamikaze the bosses because it is more fun to me, maybe at the expense of the group but a short explaination wouldn't hurt.

Yeah I know, but if I ask for few things they must answer and not stay silent till a wipe then they vent their anger and frustration at me although I clearly asked before the pull.

Thanks buddy and I mostly wanted to do it for its story, gears are a bonus for me but Ill farm weekly lockout just to be ready for next patch and do stuff early before tactics are written up and before DF attitude change back.

Always hungry for a fine specieman of Au ra!

what if they watch a video with the "wrong" strategy?

[Amberyl]

Don't want to spoil the bosses story-wise so videos are no-no for me.

There are literally dozens of streamers that state they're spoiler free, or give warnings when they can't avoid it. That's an awful excuse.
