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

I can explain if you'd like me too.

He got killed on the first boss after running the wrong way during the mine part and another time during the bubble part. I asked if he and another player were new after the alliance wiped (we didn't pass the dps check with the snake things) and he got an attitude and I'm whining about it here because I'm bitter that I'm trying my best to be patient and explain things to people because I want to clear things without a lot of issues and get an attitude for it which has been very common in there lately but just, there??? Don't know why the salt is so concentrated in Rabanastre.

I also, didn't die because of my controller issues but I did take too long to run over and heal people during the last boss but overall came out with most of my party alive which overall wasn't too shabby given that the rest of the group locked out the new healer that was watching the cut scene.

I do get where you are coming from, I just personally find it strange that you refer to his poor play and actions as stupid and bad, but going into an newish encounter with a busted controller is praise worthy. Some people might consider that stupid or bad. I am glad you did not die, but things easily could have gone south if the controller did hinder your reaction time. I do agree the tanks attitude was excusable, but bashing him for doing something you consider stupid then praising yourself for something another person could very well consider stupid seems unnecessary. Lol as I said I properly simply overthinking the situation. Nevertheless congratulations on your blind run kill.

It's a vent thread and I was just venting my homie.

The thing about the Jade Stoa is that it was a learning party, I was the last person who joined, and asked the rest of the party if it was cool for me to come along with a hardware issue and got the okay before we started. I communicated my issues and was clear about what was going on and my intent beforehand instead of getting emotional or saying nothing at all if a issue arised. I'm happy that the group I was with gave me the chance to accomplish that and that I was able to play well enough even with a obvious handicap to clear brand new content by applying myself and making an effort to be fair to my team.

I think a lot of runs in this game would go much better if people discussed things like that beforehand.

Did Sigma 1.0 yesterday (great fight btw) and we were seemingly having some troubles. People kept dying randomly and I couldn't really see why since not many mechanics were being missed, and damage seemed good enough. We wipe somehow and one of the healers threw a huge fit. Calling people out for not dodging and started trading vitriol with the MT. At some point the healer pulled his trump card, "I got a Genji weapon m8" to solidify how right he was and how wrong the party was. Second attempt, the healer sat down until he died and we eventually wiped due arguing happening while combat was in progress.

Healer gets booted and replaced and we clear with no problems and I think only one death. I love how salty people already were on DAY TWO. After that I also noticed no one would say hi or bye in any of the other fights. Too uptight too soon I swear

By no means was I trying to belittle you in anyway. English is not my native tongue so at times I have a hard time trying to convey my thoughts. Venting is cool, as I said I am overthinking things, just was seeking clarification. Said tanks attitude was excusable, and you are correct a lot of issues in this game could easily be corrected with communication.

It is just me I guess I do not see how venting correlates to referring to another person as stupid. Sorry for the confusion.

Ah no it's okay I have a lot of ESL friends and sometimes they kind of get stuck on things like that so I feel you.

I was just being petty when I said that and I don't think of that word as being any kind of serious insult. Like, you stub your toe on a table and you go "Oh! stupid table!". But I'm a Texan girl and we get rather colorful with our language when we actually are mad. I'd go into further detail but there's a a strict rule against cursing here and better people than me have been permabanned for breaking it.

Guys... Guys... Did you know, Provoke is part of the OT rotation even when there's no tank swapping mechanics and that it's not the OT's fault that it's so easy to rip aggro while doing it either? Everyone else is just bad and should be grateful that they're clearly being carried by a superior player.

Wow, I haven't been this triggered in a good while. Did a run on Hells Lid with a SCH, RDM, and a BRD. This is still patch week, so I tend to be very lenient about mechanics and all that. Plus, the SCH and BRD were new to the dungeon. Long story short, this RDM...every time he went into the boss arena, he would immediately start a countdown. This irks me because I have a certain way of starting a boss fight (throwing up FoF, defense mitigation, go into aggro combo while weaving oGCDs) in a dungeon. I let it go because I didn't think it was a big deal yet. Second boss, he does it again, almost as soon as I throw out the ready check. I cancel the countdown so the other two party members can let me know if they're good to go through the ready check.

The RDM once again throws out a countdown. Now I'm triggered. I say 'dude' in chat, and he responds with the same words. I left it at that, we beat the boss and continue on. From this point on, I start noticing that he's throwing out jolts and scatters as we approach enemies, before I have a chance to shield lob them. At this point, I start thinking to myself that I should just let him tank whatever he pulled. That's normally my rule because honestly, at level 70, you should know not to do this, especially when I started showing some annoyance by you starting a countdown.

At one point after I shield lobbed for a pull, he actually managed to take aggro. I let him tank the enemy for a few seconds before I pulled it.

Did he learn his lesson? No...no he did not. Did the countdown again on the last boss, and started getting frustrated with the two new players who were in Hells Lid for the first time. Honestly, I just wanted to kick him at this point. But I didn't. I hate the fact that this same person is on my server...gonna have to watch out for him if I ever see him again.

[Leowilde]

at level 70, you should know not to do this

Wether relevant in this case I don't know, but: jump potions. Very well could be.

OR just a masive dick, he was most likely some old player who thought he was the stuff. It's not always a jump person who is a jerk. - a person who jumped who is not a jerk-
