Tales from Duty Finder: Some make you laugh, some make you cry. Let's vent.

To the Fractal group I had about a half hour ago:

I'm sorry I left so suddenly. It wasn't the group, I just drank too much, got the worst heartburn I've ever had, and had to leave and go throw up everything I just drank/ate. I hope you got another healer quickly. I feel better now.

Are you queued under multiple languages? The DF likes to pick the language before the run, so you might be waiting for 24/72 people to queue under a language that might not be that popular on your data center.

Though, do keep in mind, with the relic update queues have been horrific. Ours have well over doubled with 60min queues being normal for Seal Rock. And the roulette does take a bit longer because it'll repeatedly try to stick you into Secure/Slaughter anytime someone else gets it, lol.

This is just an example, this has not happen once. I just decided to upload on the forums since I've been away from the immersive community on the forums xD Plus I find it comical did chores and finished my project with que still going like a champ. LOL And yes it's on multiple.

Small rant here, then I'll be on my merry way until the next time I come to rant.

This was actually a FATE party, not a duty. We ended up going into a superboss FATE, one of those thirty-minute ones, with barely more than one full group (including chocobos). We spend almost a half hour fighting this boss, the tank's macroing some stupid line, like "I release the power inside me!" or some shit like that every f'cking time he uses Berserk, following with some shit about "(Please cleanse me)". Every minute or so, some monster spawns which has nothing to do with the FATE, it attacks the damn tank of all people, and aggros me every time I heal the tank, and for about twenty-five of those minutes I had to fight the damn things off while keeping the tank alive, until finally, FINALLY, a DPS joins and actually tears the adds off me every time they scurry on over and start humping my face.

I'm already irritated at this point, when we finally kill the boss with five minutes left. I'm at 2/3 crystals, ONE LAST CRYSTAL before the first step is finally over. The first thing I see is in party chat is someone cheering about getting their final crystal and finishing the first step. I look at the chat log and find I got no crystal.

I had to get ready for work at that point, but man, that was just irritating as hell.

EDIT: I'd thought about abandoning that FATE party to look for some other one, but I think we were the only FATE party going at that time. If I'd have left, the party probably would have wiped, starting with the tank, WHO HARDLY EVER BOTHERED TO AVOID THE BOSS' AOE.

Got Cutter's Cry in my Leveling Roulette. For some odd reason the tank decided that kiting the last boss around the room was the best way to go...

Huge VENT please excuse my grammar.

I joined through Duty Finder, for a daily roulette to get eso and law, spawned to Neverreap with three other people. I was the tank in the party, I done my job right and everything. Then one of the dps that happens to be a SMN decided to pull before i had a chance to start it off to shield lob. That is my biggest peeve when it comes to anyone trying to pull before I was able to start one.
And so on going through two bosses and trash adds to clear away. We reach the final boss, I began to make my way by the other side. The other three stood by the lake after you take out the last set of adds. I get this message "Bye." Out of no where I get booted for no apparent reason. I tried to get back with in progress till i happen to restart the whole dungeon all over again... I was so furious and trolled...it ruined my night.. And it was around 2am est my time when I wanted it to be my last until i am forced to start over before the reset for tuesday...

Discovering a 48 Paladin that was oblivious to the concept that Flash does not hit every mob on the screen by default. Standing there spamming Flash expecting it to have effect on caster mobs well out of range. Further befuddling me at how he outright ignored recommendations on it's proper use by party members. I didn't last much longer than a few pulls on my Whm.

Queued into a Haukke HM with a friend tonight for level 50 roulette, starting around 40-45 minutes before maintenance. We got the bonus message (yay poetics) and found out both other people were new to the dungeon. Okay, no problem.

Or so we thought. Right away, it was pretty evident that the Paladin wasn't using any AoE hate at all. I was pulling things off him with Bane and the two DPS were tanking stuff too. We asked him a couple times to do more AoE abilities, but it didn't seem like he was really listening. Alright, whatever, I can deal with having to heal people as long as everyone isn't standing in the stupid. Little did I realize that the tank was going to get real inventive about that real soon.

We get to the hallway where the void lamps do continuous AoE damage to the entire party. The Paladin grabs two doors' worth of stuff and tries to tank it in the middle of the hallway. New to the dungeon sure, but tanking a pack of mobs in an area where everyone's taking steady unavoidable damage is just beyond me. I dropped a group heal and kept running, basically trying to drag him to the closest safe spot. Thinking on it, I probably should've dragged him back instead of forward. It would've been fine except for the fact that he didn't bother to take any of the mobs off me when he got there.

I died horribly, followed by everyone else. We collectively sigh, respawn and go back, and the Paladin promptly runs off without any buffs at all. I don't even. Anyway, we get the mobs down and start down the second hallway with void lamps. Halfway down the hallway the Paladin literally stops in his tracks. After a few seconds he says 'brb afk' leaving himself sitting in the middle of the hallway taking damage. Oooookay... the rest of us open the door and kill the mobs, then go wait at the door of the boss room. At this point we have about 20 minutes left until maintenance and we're only at the second boss. After about five minutes the Paladin being AFK, we end up kicking him and getting someone from our FC to join.

She'd never done the dungeon synced, but she at least knows how2aoethreat. >.<

mine- Yesterday doing Sohm Al for relic. Fighting 2nd boss, I decided to limit break him. Except I used it on some blue ooze instead. So after a split second of shock at what I just did, I then try to hope no one saw me do it. Two seconds later- paladin:"o.o"

shit.

Others- Pharos sirius hard, healer afks during first boss, so we all die. I get vote kicked, and right before loading screen out paladin says "why you d/cing bro?" I wasn't disconnecting, I just assume that guy was snorting paint chips or something to confuse me, the MONK, for a healer.
