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

I tried Hell's lid yesterday and by the end of it i wanted to cry.It was warrior,monk,ninja and me as the white mage and frankly things were going fine we wiped once on the second boss but that was it until the last boss,We tried 3 times but for the damn life of me I couldn't get one of the mechanics right and I knew I needed to leave because I was the problem and i didn't want to make my party suffer.They didn't say anything which really gave me a clue that I did indeed really need to leave,Guess i'm not gonna do hell's lid at all :c

We tried 3 times but for the damn life of me I couldn't get one of the mechanics right

Which mechanic would that be? Might be someone here could help explain it.

I assume it's the bubbles that go based on the floor patterns.

Set up when into City raid, came in second boss, 2 DRK's ilvl 330's, I'm i334So. I was told that PLD are the new OT's which was kind of sad being the DRK I was playing with could not keep enmity properly while I was in on sword oath mode. When a PLD has to use Shirk to prevent enmity it's just plain sad. I play all 3 tanks and DRK is my favorite....Goes to show SE could updates job based on assumptions but will never fix the incompetence of a person who thinks they can tank.

I'm assuming the same thing. To check that out, just check the floor. The water bubble will follow the arrows marked like this:



If you wanna play it safe, just stand on the arrow's opposite direction and move inside the starting hexagon once the bubble moved to the second once.

Note that they will not move throughout all the floor like that. That's just an example. They move like 3 up to 5 (?) hexagons depending on the fight's phase.

That was my assumption for what mechanic it was as well, but you never know there could be another one(though I don't recall seeing another one other than that one that needed to actually be dealt with by everyone)

Don't let a bad run ruin it. Them not saying anything is really more a case of them not caring that you were having issues. You were a first timer, after all.

If they wanted you out, they would've kicked you, but they didn't, so it wasn't a bother.

Take a friend in with you next time if you need to back-up.

My tank died to something stupid in Rabanastre the other day so I asked if he was new and needed mechanics explained, and he got a big attitude with me over that because he had Ivaliacian gear on that glammed over and I guess I'm supposed to check everyone's gear before I ask a simple question. I told him to "just say no next time" and that made him even more upset because that's "telling me how to talk, LOL TRIGGERED". Like there's only one person in this conversation here who is actually upset and playing bad.

But in positive news, I managed to clear Jade Stoa ex on my fifth pull after going in blind while playing on a busted controller that will make me walk randomly.

So I'm doing a quest where you go in a purple field to rescue an npc and adds spawns in which you have to kill them. When I arrived at the location, I see that someone already spawn the adds for the quest. I was on a tank class and took the aggro, figuring we can kill them together quickly. But as soon as I took aggro, the person just went straight for the npc, and just leaves. It really took me by surprise cause in the open world I see people constantly helping other people out and to see someone just abandon someone who is helping them with their quest just makes me sad.

Prob reading way too much into this, sort of confused though why you mention the tanks mistake was "stupid" and that he was playing "bad" but then mention you went into an encounter with a busted controller that would make you walk randomly. Which does not seem all that bad but you brought it up so must have felt it hampered you enough to warrant bringing it up. Granted the tanks attitude was uncalled for, but why did you call his play bad, and his action stupid. Yet praise yourself for going into an encounter with a busted controller. Which as I said before is normally not all that bad, but since you brought it up clearly it must have caused you a few issues which in turn could imply you caused your group issues. Since if it was not an issue why bring up the busted controller part?
