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

[TheMightyMollusk]

Suzaku in trial roulette. Both tanks get killed at the same time somehow (I honestly missed how they died, but there was no res delay, so they didn't fall off), leading to me on red mage getting aggro. Raised both while dodging attacks. No comms. So it goes.

Not competent at doing big pulls when level 80? Like what. The pulls in the new dungeon aren't even large. Hell on one pull, an NPC will turn the mobs into frogs who can't even attack.

If you're not even trying larger pulls by at least level 70, then said person will never be competent and never try no matter what anyone says. So that person suggesting larger pull would have meant nothing.

Everyone should be pulling big at that level, sure, but expecting ALL random DF tanks to play the same and be competent at their job? You're setting yourself up for disappointment. Your own group is one thing. Duty Finder? Drop all expectations and expect casual play at best and exceptional play as a rare commodity.

Gaius = Goofy

"Gawrsh, its only right that a Goof of power seize control. A-hyuck!"

Cid = Donald Duck

*furious profanity-laden quacking at various pieces of technology*

Lahabrea = Micky Mouse

"What's the Heart of Sabik? It's a surprise tool that'll help us later!"

Nero = Daisy Duck

...no, I refuse. Some things cross lines which humanity is not meant to cross.

... It made the run so much worse. XD

I feel like this deserves that Invader Zim quote. "Worse... or better?"

MSQ, Prae. The DRK suggested we imagine the npcs speaking like Disney characters, so the cast is now:

Gaius = Goofy
Cid = Donald Duck
Nero = Daisy Duck
Lahabrea = Micky Mouse

... It made the run so much worse. XD

Thanks for that mental image...

I can hear this now XD.
Gaius' Yaaaaaarrrgh! becomes "Yaaah-hoo-hoo-hoo-hooey!!!"

Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.

Today in 'I may have cleared an ultimate but that doesn't mean I'm not a dumbass'...

We just had one of those Firmament FATEs in Sargatanas. I thought I was being clever by constantly switching to Bard to use Peloton, to help my party move from point to point more quickly.

...

Except I stayed in Bard when it ended and got zero rewards.

What did we learn today, folks? Not *everything* needs to be optimized.

Now there's a severely underrated cartoon I haven't seen in years. Have a cookie!

... I hate you for showing me this. *adds video to favorites list*

For reference, I am the whm for this run.

That moment when you run Wanderers hard mode and have three people in your party sans you that dread the dungeon. No one was new either.

That moment when, in the same dungeon, you get a pair of dps, a mnk and nin, who do not understand their job.

That moment when, in the same dungeon, your nin only uses Death Blossom and Katon a grand total of 4 times for the entire run.

That moment when, in the same dungeon, your mnk does not use a single aoe.

That moment when, in the same goddamn dungeon, your mnk does not use Twin Snakes buff the entire goddamn dungeon, nor Dragon Kick.

That moment when, in the same goddamn dungeon, both of your dps have a handful of 80s each.

That moment when, in the same goddamn dungeon, both of the dps eat ALL OF THE FLAGS ON THE SECOND BOSS AFTER BEING TOLD TO JUST EAT THE DAMAGE UP ONE, THEN HAVE ONE OF THE DPS CLAIM THAT IT IS A LIGHTER SHADE OF XYZ FLAG.
