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

Just got out of Keeper of the Lake, where we wiped once at the boss... due to people being too on point. Add spawns, DPS just annihilate it and pop the barrier. We all huddle inside, and wait... and wait... and then it goes down just before Animadversion, killing all of us. Next time we delayed on putting the barrier up just a tad :P

Found the worst Paladin in POTD floor 61-70.
I got hit by a pox so I asked him to clemency 3 times. He said: no english (with a bunch of w's because he was trying to move while typing)
I checked his language, it was on german and since my german isnt that good and I was too lazy to sift through auto translate I let it go. But then I notice he has no oath up on the 67th floor so I auto-translate "sword oath". He gets poxed himself but still no clemency and no oath.
On the 69th floor he decides to put on shield oath while on 1500hp and promptly steals aggro from the boss and dies. Also we had a disconnect.

The thing I was most disgusted by was the ability for 2 dps to salvage the entire run on their own. (thx summoner)

Maybe you already know that but if you only type in the first few letters and hit tab on your keyboard (in case you're on PC) it will give you all the words that begin with those letters!

(Anyhow that paladin should have been able to figure out that Clemency and Klemenz - german word - are the same ability... but well, only-german-people...)

I can say the same thing about what I mentioned in my original post. Not everyone has to agree with your opinion, and telling someone to stop for expressing theirs is furthering cementing what I was commenting on.

Yeah, no. I don't come into this thread to see someone going "triggered!!11 safe spaces!!11' and just in general looking like a tool. I don't think anyone else comes here to see that as well. Again, wrong thread. Put it somewhere else.

Anyways, back on topic. I remember this a10 run with some very... interesting ninjas and two fails from me.

Aite. So I get a10 and it's all good up until the moment I get tethered. No one gets away from me and I start panicking trying to find a safe area. These very, very strange ninjas happily get in my way and it leads to a wipe. I tell people in chat "if you see someone get tethered please get away from them". At that point I'm hoping it wasn't my fault we wiped.

So take two. The ninjas continue to be... weird. They just don't move from the AoEs at all and seem happy to tank the floor despite the healers efforts to raise them. It's all fine though. We make it past the steamroller and I get tethered again. Fortunately people get out the way... except the ninjas get in my way again. I don't have time to react. It's another wipe.

I'm just here trying to keep it cool because I'm getting anxious now. I'm definitely thinking it's my fault despite having done this perfectly fine in the past and maybe I should just go since I'm obviously dragging the group down.

'Please move if you see someone get tethered.'

'Only OT should be in the way of tether.'

'Git gud.'

'Getting good only gets you far when people have death wishes fdlkjgklfg.'

Take three. Things are going fine, once more. Minus the ninjas who are faceplanting the floor constantly. I don't get tethered at any point and we finally clear. I just rush out of there from sheer embarrassment. I've never had such problem with a10 before. I honestly don't know what I was doing wrong x_x

Weeping City ~ After the toilet bowl part of Ozma, somehow, alliance C wipes, and B has like 3 dps alive. My group? Full health, etc, no probs. Boss was almost dead so we finished it off to win the day. Me: "Guess thats why they call us the A team" ... I amuse myself way too much.

Titan HM Trial Roulette ~ I just came back to the game after a 2.5 year break (pre-shiva patch) and havent been in here since. By the end of the fight, me, the two tanks, and a bard are alive. Feels good. ᕦ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)ᕤ

I'd love to know why, when Diadem gives the 'Use enfeebling potions' mission, it is ALWAYS me (Ranged dps) that has to stop attacking to run into range to use the item because not a one of the melees already in range to use it can ever be bothered. They just go full attack and either get confused when the kill doesn't count or scream for someone else to 'please use the item n00bs' instead of making any effort to do so themselves.

I bet AV. Nothing beats that as the number of "nope nope nope nope TAKE PENALTY".

OOps Thought I put it in the post. Yup it was AV~

In my experience a Monk could be sitting in front of a door in a burning house full of other people who desperately need them to move in order to live and they will still be all "BUT MY STACKS : <<<< " .

I did a search on HUD and all the threads that came up were in this forum. Is there a better one?

OK. I have very mild hand tremors. This makes is a bit difficult to work the keyboard defaults properly. Specifically hitting the 1- 6 keys while trying to move my mage around. It's all in the left hand. I realized that on a PC it's hard to use the right hand and a mouse at the same time but does anyone with a similar disability have any suggestions for a keybind/HUD layout?

was doing sunken temple the other day for leveling roulette and got queued in with a level 37 rogue with the scared "RP" symbol above their head. Like, if your going to RP as a base class in a higher level dungeon, do it with other RPers, otherwise you're just being a pain to a bunch of strangers.
