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

Except the DRG is not their main it's WHM. They play WHM perfectly fine and they only played DRG in ARF because I asked to heal. So yeah, I was defending her sub-obtimal rotation because she's not practiced on the class because she hardly plays the class and will continue to hardly play the class. And being manipulative with sad emojis is kinda rude, so yeah the BRD was being rude.

Disembowl was asked for and it was not used.
Foes was also asked for and IT was not used.

BUT the instance got cleared so whatever.

Disembowel is a basic combo ability though it's not like they were badgering them about BotD not being upheld or something don't see anything wrong for asking a dps to use their basic abilities regardless how long they played the job.

Oh hey that sounds like a BLM I had to deal with I think yesterday.
Also would not move for anything ever. The only reason I didn't have to concern myself with him getting poison stacks is that I had 100% Galvanize upkeep on everyone except the tank, so no poisons happening at all :P
EDIT: Oh hey just had another one. This is getting worrying.

Guess we'll have to agree to disagree. Context is everything and the BRD was being rather rude and annoying about it. There's a right way to ask and a wrong way to ask. Furthermore, the irony was in the BRD not letting the DRG off the hook for a so-called "basic" ability and simultaneously not playing their job very well either.

Went to Weeping City this morning and everything was fine until Forgall summoned his three minions. My internet just decided to stop receiving. I couldn't tell what was going on for half the fight. Everything just stopped and then a bunch of crap went off all at once and I was dead and missed the raise because it timed out or something. Got locked out of the face boss. Decided to reset my router. When I logged back in I was expecting to hear the Lavender Beds music but to my surprise I head the inside Ozma music. They didn't kick me. Which was awesome. I kept my cursor over the ping symbol and never received zero the entire time they were fighting Ozma. I r;0'D a couple of times during the Calo fight though. But nothing that bad. And it's been pretty bad recently. What is r;0 anyway? Resetting the router seems like it's just a bandaid fix at this point. My internet is fine outside of the game.

Yea context is everything. And has been said, tone is next to impossible to convey over text. And people are very, very defensive and no matter how you phrase will almost always take it the wrong way. I've found it best to not bother giving advice in DF unless they ask.

Indeed, I was in a Weeping City run last night where my alliance's tank's delivery turned a lot of people upset. Something along the lines of quitting your jobs to be window wipers (since we had a wipe on Forgall and a wipe on Weeping city).

People didn't take too kindly and so we wiped a second time because alliance chat was going crazy. Tone went right out.

35+ minutes in antitower. Other than the BLMS low hp (12k) and the healer not dpsing I couldn't even figure out what the hell caused dps to be that abysmally low. This is the first time I've ever had to... actively use Invigorate on bosses in there, since 3.2 released... Not even on patch release day, in there with my friends, did we spend more than 30 minutes in there, cutscenes and all.

I honestly wish I knew what the hell was that, the BLM used their 50+ skills and everything, I just... don't know... Not even switching to the infamous actually aoeing dragoon mode on the big pulls after the first boss helped make things die faster, it was. Fascinating.


On the other hand, I had an amazing newbie tank, probably an alt, in WPHM the other day. That dungeon went off without a hitch, even if they only pulled moderately (the day I reached level 50 as healer and got swiftcast my friends grabbed me, tossed me into EX roulette and let me heal through the biggest possible pulls. Bad, but effective, I can heal that place half asleep now). I was dpsing the pulls and barely had to do more than slapping Regen on 'em, the bosses melted with only the second one causing trouble because the Fire Res down thing kept appearing underneath the tank and none of us saw until they had the debuff.
Considering how smooth everything went, I really hope they walked out with all three comms - they certainly got mine.

And RE: Disembowel; that bard most likely was so insistent on it because it lowers the target's piercing resistance - therefore increases the damage the DRG who used it, as well as a BRD and a MCH's overall output. /huh

Good King Moggle Mog, NIN in STR gear and a Yokai Watch.

Either two things will happen:

> These guys will win and I'll get my roulette bonus after losing my connection as we engaged.
> These guys will wipe and no time will have been wasted when I log back in in 10 minutes time.

Went to Trial Roulette with 4 FC members.

Leviathan.
One of the players asked everyone to give a commendation when the fight ended.

We all had a good laugh.

The sad thing, he was a tank and my FC members said they probably would have given their commendation to him automatically if he hadn't asked.
But since he asked, they decided not to. And we all made a note to remember his name and never give him a commendation in the future either.

I'd heard stories of players actually asking for commendations. But it was my first time to see one in the wild.

Are you... serious?

[Vidu]

Are you... serious?

Why wouldnt they be? If someone is begging for commendations they'll never get mine, no matter how well they've played and I know a lot of people handeling it that way aswell... we're always having a good laugh at someone whos asking for commendations
