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

Yesterday, I did Main Scenario roulette for the 50 tomestones, like I often do. Got Castrum. For some reason, Cid's AI was worse than usual. He seemed to be convinced that completed objectives were not complete. Well, at least I got to hit him with a trout. Twice.

If there is one thing i learned from the 24 man is a lot of tanks need to learn when they get targeted for something 9/10 it is best to be away from the group/facing it away.

Did you kill all the enemies along the way? He won't advance the quest unless everything died. It's possible to skip one of the groups along the way to the second set of cannons and that will block Cid from doing his thing unless you go back and kill them.

Honestly? No idea. Everybody was kinda just running around doing their own thing. I would not be a bit surprised if there was a stray enemy. However, the party did seem obsessed with killing anything that moved, so I dunno...

I was in a run a few days ago where the same thing happened. Turned out we had just missed a searchlight.

During my run today, nobody could figure out why the second boss wouldn't spawn. Turned out nobody blew up the second pipe.

Itemlevel gripes

Yeah, it's still on the side of overly lenient for sure. But I think the goal with it was just to get people in there with gear that it's actually survivable with. No more outright impossible runs. I can understand (still undecided on "agree with") the fear that they might drive players away if they make the ilevel restrictions "too strict", but at the same time the current ones are still a bit lax. But I'll take that over no limits. At least your tank was getting chunked to 25% and not straight to death - though I have to wonder if some of the gear may have been broken for it to be that bad.

So me and 2 FC friends wanted to do a quick lvl roulette to get a new lvl. I go as AST and they go as DNC and MNK.

We get into the vault and we get a new WAR. No problem everyone's new at a point.

Except they had Scavean gear. Already, alarm sirens are blaring in my poor healer head. But you know maybe this skipper read their toolkit and knows how to play? Maybe?

Nope not at all. They never put on Defiance nor did they use CDs. They bit the dust rapidly on the first two packs.
And no matter how much my friends (who spoke the same language as them) told them to put on Defiance, and no matter how much I typed in chat the Tank stance's name (with a bit of emotes to make it look serious, kinda dumb but hey), they never put on Defiance and seemed to not pay attention to the chat.

Hence we kicked them. We got a new tank and the difference was like day and night.

This isn't really a complaint, because first couple days of a new raid. People are still learning. I found it more funny than anything.

Final boss of the raid. The two tanks spawn. And OUR tanks apparantly didn't know what was up because the enemy tanks proceeded to aoe down half our Alliance instead of being faced away.

Also, in another run, my party died on the second boss and I got raised onto another platform. Then...something happeneed and I got pulled through a tunnel back to my correct platform. I have no idea how it happened, if I did something or if it's just an automatic thing that triggers if you're on the wrong platform, but it took me by surprise.

Im not entirely certain because I've run the thing twice now but it looks a bit like the tanks move very slowly in a circle and are set in this path. So I'm not sure if the tanks can actually control where they face or not. I'm sure some one will clarify.

Also I'm intrigued to see if the platform thing happens when you get auto moved to the chamber after lock out. Later anyway. When this has become less current.
