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

Seph from Trials at 2:30am.

First wipe: wind wipe.

Second Wipe: Myself, my cohealer, and SMN stood too close to him to Seph at second phase.

Almost 3rd wipe: feels like Sephirot is 3.5 Triad xD

Idk what was going on with us this morning.

Did Zurvan Normal at about 10am, so roughly like 5 hours or so after launch? First wipe at "mark" cus over thinking it, a dps rages and bails out. We clear the next go around.

A while ago, me and my boyfriend were in the Antitower and he casted protect. The dragoon in our party was very offended about this and removed it, said he didn't need protect.

Some ups and downs with cross-server party finder today!

Doing guildhests on my AST, got the one with the turtle. Put on cleric stance, tank immediately says "I hope you die." Nice. Ignored him, single-handedly killed the fire sprite and ignited the herbs while everyone else was beating on the turtle. Tank still yelling at me to "turn off dps skill." I should note that I had to heal exactly zero times during the entire guildhest, so I don't know what he wanted me to do, just afk?

Levelling roulette afterwards, got Tam-Tara. Someone asks for protect and I braced myself for more hate. But no! I explained I had cleric stance instead and off we went, tank did some big pulls that actually let me do some healing, and I walked out with two comms.

After I finished my dailies, I thought I might finally see some parties for coil/alex normal. And I did! First party, someone didn't have the duty unlocked, whole party disbanded. Second party, advertised as Fist of the Father, actually for Fist of the Son; this time I was the one without it unlocked, so I left. Third try, coil party, all set - and we went in accidentally unsynced. But we cleared, and afterwards I got an amazing group for alex normal 1-4 that waited patiently for me to watch all the cutscenes. All in all, a pretty successful day, but definitely not without some hiccups!

10/10 best thing AND THE LONE SURVIVOR IS AN UCHIHA!

I completed Dun Scaith yesterday, but just barely.

There was 10 minutes left, and everyone else had died on the last boss, who was on 1%, and the only remaining person was a BLM. He casts scathe and the boss dies.

And in general, I don't really get why some people seem to think that people just can't figure out the simplest mechanics without having them explained in detail. Most of the stuff in this kind of casual content is really self-evident after having seen it once or twice. Give people a chance!

Are we playing the same game? This playerbase can't even handle "Avoid the giant glowing AoE".

Ex roulette, Sohm Al Hard, french tank and healer, both sporting the same edgy spiky hair.
Tank is a manqo'te dark knight and the healer a male midlander with Uraeus coat, trying to look as cool as possible.

I know, I know "not all XYZ are bad!", but yeah, my guesses are usually correct when it comes to stuff like this.

They caused us to wipe three times at the final boss. I don't know exactly what happened, but their positioning was miserable at best and the healer kept on DPSing while the tank forgot what cooldowns are.

I blacklisted them and I hope our paths will never cross again.

Took 40 minutes to beat the final boss of Sohm Al hard mode because people would keep running into the lava puddles to dodge AOE when just letting the AOE hit you does little damage anyways
