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

My cat killed me in Castrum Fluminis for trials. Shortly after the first Selenomancy resolved. she hit both home and scroll lock. People familiar with those buttons should know exactly what transpired. When I hit scroll lock once more I was still first person, but dead. I didn't even see how I died. I never use home so I had to ask my party and thankfully my cohealer responded quickly, I accepted their raise and we cleared (albeit with a few new dps deaths).

There is no defending against cats, even at my age. They are always one step ahead. Being cute is just a front.

Cat Boss Savage is the hardest combat ever! Mine like to park in front of my monitor and bat at it while I am trying to do things. Or want to roll on the keyboard begging for pets.

To the healer that ditched upon finding out they'd been dumped in sastasha in the leveling roullete...why?!?!?
To the healer who was set to queue as filler thank you!
Yes both dps were level 45+ and only the tank 'needed' to be there, but to have the healer bail before we even got rolling...:shakes head:

Not gonna lie. I will do this if I keep getting the first three dungeons of ARR several times in a row across several days. Even moreso if I noticed the party has nobody that needs their first clear—I will bail and eat that penalty.

The only factor that will discourage me from leaving is when somebody needs their first clear. I’m more than happy to help.

You would then have stayed, the tank did need his first clear. I can understand not wanting to do it, but still stinks for rest of us. just glad people remember that they can queue to fill as well as start.

If that first healer was a WHM, that's understandable because pre regens, they have to rely on a spell that most decent healers have off their bars. Scholars have it nice.

This is mostly general talk on Dalriada but...

People do not seem to like waiting a minute or so to get top ready and then refuse to use return once instant KO by a colossus and waiting for rez.

You unlock Dalriada at max rank, you gain mettle fast, what is the point of waiting for rez and starting fight debuffed that lasts 2 minutes.

It is not even about being perfect but does not take a genius to see how that goes
(This is just a delayed rant since I am on break
so this happened to me sometimes weeks ago)

So TIL that if a raidwide goes off right as you are getting up from a raise and it hits you, you are immediately dead again because the server does need that tick to apply the Transcendent buff on you.

I learned this the hard way in LoTA just now. Got killed because our tank wasn't taking on the Vassago trash set, get raised just in time to get hit with a raidwide that immediately killed me before the server tick could apply the buff.

Mine just likes to walk on the keyboard and STAND THERE.

Like an idiot.

I'd like to add on to this with my own Dalriada happenings:

If your party hasn't called top, don't take one of the bikes up there and prevent the other members of top party from being able to go. Saw that happen earlier and while the party lead for top was a bit of a tool, the point still stood that half of top got screwed due to other people yanking the bikes "just because they could".

Also, personal side note - I appreciate Lost Swift, but pls do not use it during the doors on last boss. That speed boost is insane and can send you right into a death wall if you aren't expecting it. ; v;

Or at least tell the party about it.
I’ve had my fair share of tasting the greasy floor from running straight to deathwall because I’m so used with the normal run speed pace & does not look 100% of time where I am anymore; it became a muscle memory. Indeed I am in memory by then.

Yeah, warning would help too, though sprint is usually enough for that section anyway if you absolutely don't trust yourself to follow the crowd for the mechanic. I just had to ask the BRD to not use it since they got me killed twice because of popping Swift - I wasn't expecting it and ran right into the wall both times, that sudden jump in movement is jarring.
