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

Almost 3 wipes.

"What went wrong?"

The BLM was continuing to use their AOE rotation on Livianne (sp?) in Tam-Tara Hard.

-sips tea-

But that's none of my business.

[TheMightyMollusk]

Dzemael Darkhold in roulette, on machinist. Used Blank to knock one of the spirit enemies into the trash pack for better AOE.

Tank: You're the first person I've ever seen doing that, good idea.
Me: I aim to please.
Healer: Points for good idea but you lost it for the pun

Still got a comm for it, though.

[Vahlnir]

Entered a Frontline as MCH and ended up with my GC. We were all working pretty well together which is something I never expect to happen. So a crystal spawns near Mael's base, when we get there the Flames are already at it. They managed to get most of the crystal, but we started to pick them off one by one after. When it was all said and done, there remained a lone RDM standing on the edge of the cliff surrounded by about half my team. So I hit them with a blank and they fell to their death. That ability never gets old in PvP. Ever.

[Alteriius]

Running duties for tomestones and leveling another job. Got Toto-rak. Had a lovely tank that pulled the boss while the healer and other DPS were still in the cutscene. SMN didn't even come out of the cutscene before we wiped. Walk back in and the MRD dies again because apparently, green toxic poison that looks like radioactive waste must be good to stand in. Let's continue doing that, I guess.

I need a nap.

You would have guaranteed a comm from me with the pun.

A vote to kick came up right before the second boss, for the healer, I think. It was somehow rejected before I responded? Weird. I would've thought my input would be needed. Whatever.

Any vote kick requires a majority vote from the party. The target doesn't get a vote, and the person who initiates the kick is considered to vote in favor, that leaves two people and both of them have to vote Yes for the kick to succeed. So if your fellow dps voted no, there's no reason to wait for your vote because a majority is impossible.

wrong only one other person has to agree

If I'm understanding this correctly, the party leader initiates a vote to kick. The target player does not get a vote. Presuming said initiator counts as a Yes vote, you just need one of the other two characters to vote Yes.

But this vote was rejected after a few seconds, and I had not cast a vote.

I can only presume that the initiator of that first vote to kick actually ended up casting a No vote for some reason. That's the only explanation that makes sense, and it still seems a little weird to me. But, whatever.

Since the observer knew a vote kick was taking place, then they likely weren't the person on the stand... so my assumption is they DID get a vote, but they pushed a button at just the best possible time and missed the popup.

The fact that the vote went up and down so fast tells me this is likely what happened.

[Averax]

I was running orbonne monastery and it went great except....the other healer (ast) did next to nothing the entire time. He just drew cards and occasionally tossed out an aspected helios. Leaving it to me to do the majority of the work. He wasn't even doing damage, he just stood there drawing cards and reacting to mechanics.

Didn't even do a bubble or any variation of helios during Ultimas transition phase. We almost died because succor don't exactly do it for getting people's health back up. Wouldn't even put a hot on the tank or the low health people.

This is a growing tend with ASTs i feel like. Just there to look cute and draw cards, but not much else.
