Can we have the option to not count unsync instances with our overall total SE?

[bswpayton]

I com for stuff like this too xD

But yeah the only real measure of good performance using coms is to be a dps main... Like at lvl 60 getting them is hard as hell, nevermind in 8man stuff (will hardly ever get 1). Nice when I do get one coz it means

its mainly the que and just its not very exciting to me , dps are expendable , and tell that to the parties in dun scathe where all the dps seem to die so fast its crazy. Been in so many parties where healers had to use lb 3 because dps are so squishy and can die to anything or when all the dps died last night to freaking ultima proto in my party so dont tell me they arent squishy as hell. Healers are to but at least they can heal themselves, with 30 min ques there is nothing worth it to me in playing dps.

I dps mainly to see what a new piece of content looks like if Im not sure Im ready to tank it after watching a guide but now adays I just go straight to tanking it, just not worth it really to me to dps but thats my own opinion obviously its very much so worth it to most of the players on this game. I mainly just do it to see the job stories and to run with friends if they want to tank instead. But that being said I still have gotten plenty of commends on my blm and bard but I chose to main the three tanks so even if the numbers are inflated why should they not count. And people say comms dont mean anything but yet any topic on mentors its always said that 300 is too little to be a mentor so its really a back and forth issue.

Actually Ive stated in other threads I will not take any reward If Ive never cleared the content sync, and I dont pony farm unless my fc ask otherwise I dont bother because exactly why Im writting this thread. I have three ponies, garuda was from a sync clear, shiva I got on an unsync run and I went back to clear it sync because I didnt feel like I deserved the pony for an unsync only clear, and the other was nightmare on ifrit which I had already cleared sync previously. And I have one bird from my first clear of sephirot which cant be unsync but ok I guess, I play to be a good player not just to play the game

It's a bswpayton thread. It is "blah blah I hate the unsynced option blah blah make it go away blah blah". Just like the other one they started not too long ago.

I know, I'm not sure if I'm even surprised anymore or not...

Here is a thought though that proves that the 1:1 isnt intended by SE - they obviously had a 1:3 ratio in mind! (or, to be precise: a 3:10)
Why, you ask? Simple!
Looking at the achievments the highste one for instance is at 10.000 - not highste one for commendations is at 3.000 - since you obviously want to finish them at the same time, you should aim for getting a commendation every third run!

This doesnt make sense, you say? Achievments for dungeons were introduced earlier, you say? Who cares about logic when we talk about a "I did this" and "Someone liked me for whatever reason"-ratio?!


(Seriously though: you can only see your dungeon-count when you go into the achievment-menu and select an achievment you havent completed yet... so I would really consider just not looking at it and some weird "ratio" - and if you honestly cant do that it might be time for a therapist?)

Snip

Or maybe just maybe you can't heal well enough to deal with unexpected damage and deal with some mechanics... Can't really complain about unexepected damage as it's bound to happen sometimes... Difference is I bet if you take it you heal yourself... Ohh so much for com's = performance xD

Well yeah coz anyone can get 300 just by playing tank/healer... Not hard to understand... Or maybe it is.

Dw it's pretty clear you are a troll, so a hit to you're possible lacking in skill is the least I could do. Also pretty clear you don't play to get better otherwise you would do something I dunno... Difficult.

Im a troll now because I dont want unsync runs to cloud up my instances tab the forums get crazier and crazier. What Im asking for is very logical but whatever, and I wasnt the healer in dun scathe hence I said already that I main tanks not healers.

Mwahaha even better you need to give yourself alot of room for error otherwise you die... Oh this is precious xD

Question... Can't you just avoid unsynced runs? Who is the evil person forcing you to do them... Oh wait you like the benefits.

Nothing you said in this thread is at all "logical" and that is why you are clearly a troll xD

So now your bashing me because I play tank maybe u jsut love dps jsut like I love tanking. Im not a troll like I said agian every job in the game deals damange yes some deal more than others. But every job in the game takes damage as well so I personally would rather have 40 k health , 30 k health defensive cool downs the ablitity to solo content, take on bosses witout a healer. Than to get one two three dead as a dps, there is a reason tanks are in the game and why people rag on tanks because dps can only take so many hits. And again I like isnta ques I dont care to wait 30 mins to do the same dungeon roullete I can do as a tank that I prob could run twice within the time it takes to even get in the dungeon as a dps no tank you. Also I dont like to dps because I dont want to be in a party with a tank that wants to pull 2 adds at a time, you dont have to do that in any single dungeon from level 15 on up, its some cases where this is ok but very few. I dont have the patinece to do this constantly sometimes if fine but to do some of the most basic functions in the game its just not worth it. This game says pull everything and thats what I do and I like it , its a lost more fun than dps to me why does that bother you.

Mhmm ignore the question and instead write a paragraph about something totally unimportant.

Will ask again... Who is making you do Unsynced runs and grab the ponies etc along the way? I would personally report such a person for harrasment and I strongly advise you to do the same since it's clearly causing you distress.

Or maybe just maybe you can't heal well enough to

Im a troll now because I dont want unsync runs to cloud up my instances tab the forums get crazier and crazier. What Im asking for is very logical but whatever, and I wasnt the healer in dun scathe hence I said already that I main tanks not healers. So I actually was one of the last or I am always the last one alive in these runs where all the dps die from any small mechanic. Im not saying Im a perfect player but I play to learn and I play to be good, and an unsync run has no meaning so why should it effect my commendations that do have meaning is all Im saying. Im wrong for wanting the commendations to hold weight but yet a post about se putting an emote on mog station gets 200 likes this forum is so backwards its crazy. I do not troll there is no reason to , I just dont wont meaningless runs to be on my instance achievements how is that hard to understand.

I don't get your 'fix'. You can't recieve comms if you are only playing with friends aka no strangers.
This has nothing to do with unsync as is, you'd have the same problems (no comms, but counting towards achievment) with any pf content, unsynched or not.


And meaningless? I'd say a comm from a leaf in Sastasha is already less meaningful than every single out of the seven you recieve for doing the uber almost wipe recovery in history. Just do a tally to count your moments of awesomeness.

Except it's not. You're asking for unsync dungeons to not count towards your achievement because...commendations? How is that at all logical?

[Moomba33]

This request doesn't make sense. Unsynced instances don't mess up your commendation ratio by being unsynced. You just can't get commendations because you're in a full premade group.
The exact same thing would happen with running synced dungeons with only FC friends.

As has been mentioned the commendation system wasn't even in the game at launch while the first few instance achievements were. Should SE have reset the instance counter for people playing then? No because the achievement simply tracks how many instances you've completed and it doesn't make sense for some runs to not count.

It has EVERYTHING to do with unsynced. He wants any and all value of any kind removed from them. THAT is the entire point.

[bswpayton]

Because I would as it stand now have less than 1000 instances and I would have more commendations than I had instances where my number is currently and most good tanks or good healers would as well if they didnt count. I never said I didnt want them to count just a different tab unsync runs go in unsync runs achievement and normal ones go in the instances. I take it pretty serious Im 34 instances away from my tank mount and I know I could go grab a healer friend and 1 2 some easy instances unsync but Id much rather not because for one I personally would rather do it the right way. And that would be 34 instances down the drain witout being able to get commendations. Unsync runs are not the same thing unsync runs are a means of ease and convenience to players for whatever reason they shouldnt be counted in the same achievement tab as the ones that where done the proper way. And because of unsync runs it makes it almost impossible to have more commendations than instances sense they are in the same category.

Again, commendations mean nothing. I have a friend who got most of his comms by being a goofball in dungeons. Most likely you received them because you tank. I'm not saying you're a terrible tank (especially since I've never partied with you), but you cannot judge your performance by your comms.
