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

[Tridus]

Got World of Darkness last night in Alliance Roulette. Usually an easy time. We wiped on the first boss.

I've never seen so many people die to Level 150 Death. One of the tanks started complaining that we should raise more than one tank at a time, and I'm like "a third of the raid just died to an entirely avoidable attack, including all three tanks. Cut us some slack, here." Every time it went off at least 3 people would die, without exception. Usually more. Mortal gaze was also dropping people like flies. I actually went out of MP, and when is the last time a WHM said that, even in level 50 content?

We did get it on a later try after explaining what to do, but wow. Haven't seen that in a long time. Each boss afterward was a messy one shot. The last Orbonne I got was cleaner, and that's saying something.

It makes sense lorewise (considering that Eos and Selene are two forms of the same Fairy, Lily), But I sometimes wonder...why did they bother keeping the Selene Form when they removed her entire kit...and why they didn't extent the same courtesy to MCH?

Likely because they decided this is what SCH get for Faerie Glamour.

I wound up in an In-progress Mt. Gulg run that had two interesting qualities. Arund 10 min had passed by the time I got there...and half the original team was gone, a DPS that I replaced...and a healer. The group was stuck on Forgiven Cruelty. I managed to rope in someone from a LS I was in to heal, and find that the Tank was rather. I wouldn't say inexperienced, but still had some troubles. Apparently he was eating AoEs and Vuln stacks like candy and sometimes failed to get aggro on everyone, much to the chagrin of the healer I asked for help and probably to the motive why the original healer and DPS left (though there is an implication that the original DPS was kicked). I checked his search info and foudn he had 4 Jobs at 80. Three Tanks...and MCH, That info left me with some theories, but I'll keep the speculation away.

We managed to make it though despite the issues and at least Whimsy didn't give us much trouble AFIAK.

I'm starting to figure out that the more I thirst for Gaius in Prae runs, the fewer comms I get.

Comms be damned!

I queued yesterday for alliance raid, we got sycrus tower as always, and then some guy calls out someone for queuing naked and blames them for the reason we were there.

Some other guy shouts that we’re there because his whole FC didn’t unlock anything but CT, but the guy carries on attacking the naked queuer.

Then someone tells the first guy not to be mean, it’s not the naked queuers fault that they fail so much they can’t do anything harder more than CT. Naked queuer got all offended and started saying they were pro but wanted quick xp but everyone said they were bad at the game.

Then they left at the end and said they were reporting us all for harassment. It was weird and funny, and somewhat deserved. Queue naked and be shamed for it.

So uh, I had a interesting Heroes' Gauntlet I as a Dnc had a War tank Whm Healer and a fellow Dnc, partnered up and off we went mobs died a little slow but double Dnc I expect a little less dps, we get to first boss and I tend to let fellow dncs do technical 1st, It got to 75% before I just went for it anyway (should've just used as normal but hindsight), after boss dies I ask why no technical, they said they didn't have it, >_> , lv80 Dnc no technical, told them to do job quests check Linda, Costa, Ul'dah or Gridania and initiated a vote kick, I am not suffering someone in lv80 content without their job skills, I refuse to.

At my first time in E5 or 6 normal mode, after the first and only wipe, i got blamed for using Glare and Dia from a RDM and his scoler GF who told me he couldnt dps cause he was Raising the dead ppl. Well belive it or not i counted and he died 5 times the second heal like 7 times-rest of the Party doesnt died once and of course i keept the Glare spam high. But i hold him back from DPS'ing. *g*

So, to the band of players who recently had me in Praetorium: I am sincerely sorry for what happened. I disconnected during a run unintentionally because of issues with PSN and was ultimately unable to reconnect due to the same issues.

Just reading a few of these makes me so sad, that there are seriously BAD players around masquerading as Elitists. My philosophy is: no matter what content you randomly get lumped with, play your role/job to the best of your ability. If you're level 80 all classes and grinding for the best gear.. that doesn't make you a good player if you abandon your team mates or half-ass your job when you role the content you don't need. If you can clear the highest raids without wiping, what does it matter if you get your party wiped in Sastasha cause you're 'bored' or don't care or are trying to bot your healer up?

[LaughingBanana]

Sounds more like the healer was garbage...sorry but its super easy to heal in Shadowbringers. Even if the tank dont use any CD... u can do damage and healing. Pulling Wall to Wall is the right way as tank. If the healer cant keep up with it ... kick it.

Try to install empathy.exe program next time in your mind. It will do you good.
