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

I met a machinist in the Great Gubal Library who had a full Garlond set equipped, except for the T13 weapon and the Sohm Al hat/mask/whatever, and apologized for their bad gear, saying they had horrible luck with the dungeon drops. The first boss dropped bard boots, and I said, "see, I made the dungeon drop some boots for you!". They had a good laugh about it, took and equipped them and was pretty happy about them.
Later on, the bard gloves and a bard ring dropped too, and the final boss finally dropped the bard chestpiece, making the machinist literally freak out for joy xD We had quite a good laugh about their sudden luck I seemed to bring them.

You've used up your luck for the month, I suggest you go sacrifice some Aldgoats for RNGjesus.

I agree 100%

I just got out of a VA where the AST gave my boyfriend (DRG) and I (MNK) all the cards. They left as I was typing up my thank you and I never got to commend them. D:

IF YOU SEE THIS AMAZING AST, ILY LONG TIME.

> Get 3 newcomers to Aetherochemical Research Facility
> Not one of them looked up a guide
> They ask me to explain the fights
> Get to first boss
> Tank pulls before I finish typing first sentence
> I explain mechanics.
> No one follows them.
> Get to second boss
> Tank pulls before I finish typing first sentence so at this point I just give up trying to explain anything at this point
> Get to last boss
> Tank pulls while healer is still in custscene
> Clearly no one knows fight but we fumble our way through it on our first attempt
> Tank asks me mechanics after fight over.
> I explain.
> DPS gives me s*** for not explaining fight prior to doing said fight.

I hate this game.

Word.

I am so sorry to hear that. Had a really good first run of ARF, myself, as BLM.

I admitted I was new while loading in and fully expected to have at least 1 person leave right off, but instead everyone was fine with it and the DRK (the DRK, of all jobs!) said he would explain stuff as we went along.

And everything went fine, I died a few times because of stupidity and we wiped once at the last boss because stupid mechanics are bad for a BLM's health.

(Speaking of last boss, seriously, right after it's pulled, I went to slap down Ley Lines, etc, going into Enochian combo... and then the boss aims a giant AoE right over my Ley Lines.

TWICE IN A ROW.)

But yeah, it was fun and pleasant. At the end I got 2 comms, and considering I was BLM I'm not even sure what I did to deserve them, but thanks to that team, I have a tiny bit of faith in DF again. It'll probably be eradicated again soon, but oh well.

I was in VA and our alliance's tank got locked out. I was on my MNK and decided to tank the snakes. Popped all my CDs (except Blood for Blood) in an attempt to make the healers lives easier while I tanked them. It worked out pretty well, I think, considering I didn't die and I only lost aggro briefly. I guess the party thought it went well too 'cause when I left the run I got all 7 commendations.

Did EX Roulette just now. Got the Antitower. The SCH told me in the middle of the first boss, they didn't have leeches cause they didn't do the quest. I'm like WTF? I asked them: "Why the <bleep> do you not have leeches?". They said "Because the quest is too hard". Like, wot mate? Too hard? Come on now. If they don't have leeches then that would mean, they didn't have any of the spells after that... THIS IS A LEVEL 60 SCH! Ugh, tried dismiss, it failed so I bailed. I can't believe how lazy people are. These job quests are rediculously easy. If you have trouble, you sure as <bleep> don't level up to 60. OMG.

BTW, I wanted to make sure they were trolling, so I asked again if they seriously didn't have leeches. They said nope. So I left that group. Perks of being a tank is that I'll try again in half hour, but <bleep> son, Level 60 SCH without Leeches!

I feel bad for laughing at this. The only SCH quests I would say are even remotely difficult are the level 50 and 60 ones. Especially the 60 quest, that was awful.

A lot of healers I run into in general seem to think not healing debuffs is acceptable, and it's one of the most infuriating signs of a bad healer I have seen, right up there with not having Swiftcast. Debuffs, especially Paralysis and Heavy, can be the difference between life and wipe. I don't even care if the healer doesn't do a single point of damage, just as long as they actually keep everyone alive and cleansed of debuffs... but since this is DF, of course they can't.

Hahahaha, no. I queued for Lost City HM because I needed 125 more esoterics (~two Lost City HM runs, Antitower is meh) to have enough tomes for my 80th token for the i210 BLM relic. And guess what, I got a firsttimer bonus of 50 esos in the first run, making me skip the second run and get my relic right after the first one. Eat this, I have infinite luck.

Oh, and during that run, I completely forgot that I activated my mentor crown, and didn't explain anything. The tank pulled the bosses super early so I wouldn't have had time to explain anything anyway, but when I realised I had this crown next to my name, I felt bad for not doing my job. But in the end everyone knew what to do, that firsttimer was probably on TS with another party member or an alt or whatever, and I got two comms for ripping aggro off the tank during the last boss and apologizing for this.

But next time I should actually say something.
