My Experience With Alexander Normal Yesterday As A Tank

[KingOfAbyss]

And what makes you think the OP is American.... Not all of us are ignorant and I doubt an American would be called arabian wolf

Not because his character name is Arabian that makes him Arab, else I'd be in a whole new world myself ^^

The majority =/= The entirety.

Would be curious to see who he is now hehehe

Interesting how the opinions on the expectations of DF vs PF have completely flipped in the last 4-5 months.
Back then the vast majority of posters touted DF as the new player territory and experienced players should expect to have to explain fights or go form a PF group so they could have a flawless quick run.
My how times have changed...

That still stands true for story content, and other easy content.
Alex is quite a bit different.

And then Americans wonder why some people don't like them. You know, a country other than the US?

Oh look, someone else assuming OP is from the US on the basis of him making a discriminatory remark.

Grabbed adds faster. Still shrunk. Then a bomb blew us up. WUT DO

Not you, silly. The DPS needs to claim faster.

Cleaved second tank too. He kept yelling something about stacks. WUT DO

Mechwarrior pilot at fault. Debuff gobwalker so it dies before stacks are a threat.

Other tank also following this guy's instructions. WUT DO. (P.S. Instructions did not mention tether)

Maintain original position that other tank is at fault.

I still need A4. WUT DO

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yea a lot of people are doing alex normal for their weekly drop so they might have to do it 4-5 times to get their drop and prob don't want to explain the fight each time, so I understand where they coming from. The easiest way is do what you did, ask a friend or FC member to go with you and explain what you need to do.

When I was farming Alex NM, i was setting up PF groups because duty finder was getting pretty annoying.

If I actively state that I only perform actions that people say in chat, is it OK if I do that? I mean it's inconvenient for other people, but I did tell them in advance, so they better do it.

Sure, but purposely gimping yourself is no-where near the same territory as under-performing because you don't know any better. One is not knowing the fight, the other is active trolling. But by all means go and make a fool of yourself if you think you are proving some kind of point.

Obviously you don't understand the point of an analogy. In no way are they supposed to represent identical things, but used to illustrate a point through commonality. In this case, the point is that just because you say something about it, it doesn't make it OK to be inconvenient to others. In order to make the point clear, I used an exaggerated analogy. Unfortunately, it appears it made it less clear for you

It's definitely a much better indication than randomly calling him American without ANY indication that he is, the people calling him an American are definitely showing some sort of American resentment by assuming Americans are the only people who bad mouth other countries and being blinded by it and not even reading content just assuming.

While I despise the watch video first mentality that surrounds this game, it is what it is. The nature of the game makes it this way. What is the difference in a video teaching you a fight or another player texting you how to do the fight? Nothing, either way someone is helping you know the fight. Going into a group of random people and expecting them to spend their time teaching you a fight from scratch is completely unrealistic. Its just the way this game tends to be. Run with people who have a similar mindset, or just take a few minutes and watch a guide.

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

this, i dont mind explaining once or twice but the least you can do is watch a video for a raid/trial
