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

Probably the best thing you can do is not go for any chests unless they are on the way to the exit.

You were so proud of your jokes you quoted yourself from almost 3 years ago? Dude...

Wait.. the other quote is from like 5 years ago.. dude.. How long have you been sitting on that materal?

I needed an example, so i just did a quick search in the post history. Nothing fancy. (^_~ )

my world is tonberry which is JP server and also "unofficially" world where the english speaker dwelling in JP server.

and as you know how JP people behave in mmorpg game which is full emote, word emoji and gesture. my encounter with party who always busy doing gesture, emote and non stop formality (hello, sorry, etc) is like 99% in this server, which is why it really shocked me when i get a party that is total silent lol

Yeah no, gear upgrades are important otherwise you'll always be leeching plus you'll never be able to get to floor 200. And you need a crapload of those chests to get your gear high.
personally the only reason I sometimes farm potd at all is for gear upgrades for my completion static, so if people skip chests and only go for xp it's a omplete waste of time for me.

You can still get gear upgrades picking up chests on the way. I played my alt that way. It's actually arguably faster. You wanna farm for your gear? Then farm it with others of like mind, rather than randoms who are there for EXP - you are wasting their time.

If you mean the tether that needs to be split by people ''taking it away from you'', might just be that you had one too many tethers, now that will murder you in one shot. I speak from experience

Did a run last night as Sch with a Gnb, mch, smn....

starts off fine clear adds nothing unusual tank is not using very man cooldowns but totally manageable. And then....

First boss apparently its ok to stand in AoEs if you tanking (not) because tank didn't even try to move of them boss does roulette arrow mech and it lands on me I die which is my fault for not having shield up we wipe. Second time through I keep tank and me alive but dps would not avoid aoes I rezzed 6 times on dps....geez

on the way to second boss...ugg....tank pulls everything which is fine but only used one cooldown I used my entire kit to keep him up dps were terrible not using the combos and smn holy batman plz learn to weave your skills realy bad smn.

I cant keep tank alive we wipe no body says anything but im thinking I should just leave but then I thought ill just keep going hell with it. Tank pulls I put on shields and excog and im kicked from party....wtf ok at first I was mad but then realized they would have to wait for healer and I can insta reque which I did got another gnb brd and blm and cleared with no deaths

Seriously cooldowns exist for a reason if your tanking use them...

So in hindsight, kicking me from party saved me from penalty

Im not sure whats worse that the group thought it was my fault I couldn't keep tank alive or the fact the dps did not know there kit.

I went as sch again with a different gnb who used there toolkit well and had no issues and had dps that were spot on with there rotation. When people play there jobs well its amazing the diffence in time saved and fun game play just sayin

For PotD if you see a silver chest and want upgrades, it's fine to go for it. It doesn't take more than a few seconds to nip into a nearby room on the way, grab the chest and continue.

However, in 51-60 runs it isn't worth it to run off in the opposite direction from the exit or go hunting around in unknown rooms miles away trying to find silver chests. That makes the run take twice as long, for maybe a few extra chests. In the long term, that's not efficient. You'll get upgrades just as fast, if not faster, by going with the group and just grabbing what you see along the way because you get twice as much runs. Not to mention far more exp (or tomes if taking a max level char).

No, wait, gimme a minute... will have bad quality but it will be enough to see. Sadly deleted the original video because I'm stupid




It was that tether

And just to add to that: My friend ran through my cleave and only got around 4k damage

Usually that should only do about half of your hp, around 50-60k if I'm not wrong. If you didn't have a vuln stack or didn't run into a wall then it's a mystery why it did way more than it's supposed to do. Doesn't also seems like both of them weren't stacked what also can kill.
