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

Is it just me or do people really NOT know how Castrum Meridianum works?
Even before the moogle event I've had constant streaks of people just pulling the whole schmeer instead of waiting 5 seconds for the searchlights to be turned off, AND pulling that huge phalanx of Colossi before Livia.

Actually, I'd rather more groups do that for more exp.

I'm not sure if positive runs are allowed here, but I'll mention one. I ended up in Sastasha YAYYYYYYYY. There is a paladin Who was a mentor, Astro, Ninja (me) and a dragoon. The three players are friends. At the start I say "hello" Then I see the paladin say "OH NO SASTASHA EXTREME" I laughed a bit and we continued the run chatting on and off. We get to the final boss and he says my characters name "Think you can handle the boss's dps check?" I replied with " I make no promises".Of course we cleared I mean nobody wipes in Sastasha right?.... RIGHT??!! But yeah it was a fun run and went by really fast!

Sure it's good exp at level, but the parade ground pull (before Livia) is a huge pain at best, and can actually wipe parties if enough newbies are present (or ppl aren't paying attention). Something to keep in mind.

I went in Thornmarch. And what I see. Again the main boss is dying like a rat. Will synchronization always work like this now? Only 1-49 normal battles? Or am I only at 70 now I can feel the game? What is the interest?

Of course! Everything in moderation.

I came here from ESO with my boyfriend and neither of us have ever done this. If anything my time spent in ESO makes me appreciate aspects of XIV that much more. During the time I played ESO as a vet trial healer I had one actual damage move mapped to my bars and that was only to add a weakness debuff to the enemies, coming from that to XIV where I can regularly be top dps in dungeons as a WHM is such a breath of fresh air.

Also healing in ESO was far from pressing 1 on a keyboard, I used all 12 of my skills regularly.

The hating on people from other MMOs is something that happens in every MMO but is particularly persistent in XIV.

yes a healer that pushes 34k dps and only needs 1 heal.... is basicly pressing #1 on the keyboard everynow and then ^,^ sadly i did play eso as well, friends dragged me along during an irl emotionnal crisis, last time i follow my friends into shit mmos.

havign been a healer from 2.0 to up to heavenswards, on my former main, and on this char as well.... only thing i have noticed is that the game was made easyer toa ccomodate wow and eso refugee, because i seem to have hurted your feelings princess, i will call them new players. i hope it makes your booboo go away for now.
the game has been made easyer and easyer each content because its "too hard" because run away refugee, weak sauce from their former mmos are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO used to stuff being stupid easy and to get fed gears that they complain when they have to do something they are nto used to. new trend being cry like a babygirl = win..... you can guess why healers have it easy now and are slowly turning into a dps with sub healing as well.

also before other players come at me, i almost threw my keyboard in my rig when they nerfed steps of faith and thats like 1 month after steps of faith came out iirc. this raid was perfectly challenging for everyone and forced player to fall in the apply strat or wipe.

I hope you reported them. Why didn’t you guys kick them?

maybe somebody tried but it was more interesting than watching the cutscenes for the zillionth time?

Healing is being made easier because people who came from WOW are used to … easier healing? And that's why it's being made into a ... DPS class? Did I read you right? Huh … you probably shouldn't state that opinion anywhere outside a FFXIV forum.

I found healing very stressful in WoW, myself. It feels much more relaxed here. You even have downtime when you can DPS!

Tanks have it much easier in FFXIV as well.
