Post Your Healing Horror Stories.

Now that I know the reason behind this speed running, I think I'm more pissed that people were imposing farm mentality on parties in DF and kicking them when they don't perform up to par. Isn't that what PF is for?

You're not wrong here, and it is becoming a huge problem in the community. I've run into it several times. It's become common practice for people to run off without buffs. Speed pull (even if they can't handle it), or generally act like raging assholes. A lot of the time, the "speedy" way of doing it just makes things worse, and for some strange reason a lot of people don't seem to realize that even one wipe results in a slower clear time than just doing it the traditional way.

SE is partly to blame for this, because they made a system that has multiple ways of succeeding but only one (quite clearly) faster way of succeeding, and yet they somehow expected everyone to not spam it and turn it into the most toxic environment in the game (they've even publicly reminded people that there are other ways of getting the items during the live letter... as if that would make a difference or change that Alex farming is by far the fastest method). I'm not sure if that makes them short sighted, sadistic, or just plain stu .... silly, but it's definitely had some really horrible results.

I actually have my fair share of Tanking horror stories that have come out since the Relic was implemented (one in particular that sticks out in my mind), but I'll leave that for if someone does a thread like this over on the Tank forums.

This has been a thing for a long time before Anima was a thing; people treat this game like a race and take off as soon as DUTY COMMENCED flashes on the screen as if the green light from Mario Kart just went off. It ticks me off to no end when people simply can't wait a few seconds for my mitigation spells that can let me hold off on healing later.

Agreed. The "race to the end" attitude has definitely been around for a while. It's just gotten a bit worse since the Relic was released. I personally find it to be at the most infuriating when it's the healer who runs off before even casting protect. I mean, what exactly do they plan to do without the Tank?

Worse than that, though, is the general attitude that has gotten worse since relic. People were always sour in Alexander, but getting angry at players for not doing a speed pulls in DF or booting people for not skipping mechs was not nearly as common as it is now. There's also this bizarre elitist streak that has come out since relic where everyone expects everyone else to be AAA players who run Normal Alexander as if it were Savage.

It's DF. Random PUGs. Complete and total strangers running casual content. What's with the stupid high expectations?

^ To be fair that actually happened to me last night in Pharos(sp?) Hard in the DF. Got kicked because of not being able to do "50K DPS".

Did the missiles kill you, or did they derp and not kill the second opressor in time? The adds will actually despawn if the second opressor comes out late enough. Still a risky move in DF though.

Missiles killed all of us haha. But before that I remembered the other tank died (i don't know how tbh @_@), followed by 2 dpses, and missiles boomed us to kingdom come after that

I feel like showing this to every single tank who decides to run off without buffs:


Ditto for Stoneskin.
