Tales from Duty Finder: Some make you laugh, some make you cry. Let's vent. 2.0

So, I got into Doma Castle from my alt's roulette.

Gotta say... the 'rework' done to the last boss made me wish I can use Rescue on enemies. The boss resets himself back to center to summon the saws. Guess adjusting to the old mechanic is just too much for their AIs. :shrug:

Forgive my saying so, but your post is a touch contradictory.

You state that you "rushed through the MSQ" but a few sentences later bemoan players failing to wait for you to finish watching cutscenes? I'm a little confused as to why the latter issue would be a concern if you were in a hurry to complete the MSQ

it's not contradictory. i rushed msq by focusing on them with a single leveling class. i've been a square enix fanboy since the nintendo.

or not. i was active immediately, and putting gil into the chest. volunteering for anything that came up in the chat. and spent 23 of the 30 maps i spammed the moogle tomes for.

this is a seriously bad attitude and response. i typed my feedback to get attacked and to let you guys assume the worst. if it's just me then the problem is gone. so thanks for the replies, they missed the point and placed blame where there shouldn't be any.

Putting yourself out there does not shield you from responses you disagree with. You don’t want criticism? Can’t avoid it buddy. You seem soft

Okay - that's fair, but my point was that you said that you hurried through the MSQ.... but a few sentences later commented on your distaste toward the team(s) you were in failing to wait for you to finish watching cutscenes. That does come across as contradictory.

i only bought the game about two months ago and rushed through the msq.

the novice network started my experience with booting me and leaving bullies on who were attacking others. replies often enough for questions was to google the question. mentors who spoke of others in a way they'd just give up and leave.

during this time i joined and quickly left a total of 5 fc's. with various reasons to not stay ranging from it being too clique, meaning they left new players out of any content they ran. another fc had a rival fc they were always talking about. calling that out had them focusing the same energy onto me. and the last fc's were so quick to leave a good impression which then got ruined by members openly calling others noobs, and stupid.

aside from novice and fc, i got roulette parties with mentors, even. dungeons and raids have never been more toxic. how can i get gud if you;'re pulling mid sentence while i'm asking for help?

the least players could do is wait for my cut scenes. but to actually have the great community others say this is, taking time to welcome new players and explaining mechanics would go a long way.

my sub ends in ...4 days. i'm done. and the only groups i ever enjoyed were blue mage party finder. the limited job had the most potential. i'm sad, but done.

So you rushed the MSQ and then you complain others are rushing the MSQ

alrighty then

I'm a bit confused on the context here. Were you asking for help and they simply didn't answer and pulled? Was there any chatter in the chat at all? Did these scenarios come after a wipe? Were you asking or expecting to have explanations for things?

In my experience people tend to not want an explanation for....well anything. I've had people get mad for explaining mechanics without a request to explicitly do so and I've had people get upset for not explaining right away. There is no middle ground and if you want something, it helps to inform people that you want it. Otherwise, it's more likely they will just ignore you.

it's not that i disagree. i'm posting my constructive criticism while making the decision to leave a game. assuming i'm soft misses the point and adds insult to injury. go ahead and flame away. it denies any benefit you could have gained from me sharing this, and reinforces my belief that there's no good community here.

Something sweet today~

The FC I'm a co-leader of holds mount farm events every other week. Today I was the party leader for this week's Kamuy Farm, and we ran all the trials for them unsynced, except for our final run with The Minstrel's Ballad: Shinryu's Domain. There was one party member who didn't get the flute from it yet and they asked if we could run it the old fashioned way. Well, why not~? We all had a blast despite us wiping a couple of times x3

I would like for us to start doing the other farms like this in the future. There's just something about running the Extremes the way Yoshi P intended that makes it more enjoyable, you know?
