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

[Doomed_Raven]

I did Pharos Sirius hard once as a summoner, and it ended up taking close to 2 hours to complete due to a lot of mishaps. I turned out being likely the most experienced player in the group of sprouts, which is rare given I've played it for 5 months and am usually paired with people who've played it for a decade.

The healer bless them had probably just gotten their level 50 job gear and hadn't healed player's before (the tank kept dying) but the healer died more.

The DPS dragoon didn't realize adds in boss fights needed to be targeted.

I think I raised the healer about 8 times as summoner throughout the dungeon and at the final boss was raising both them and the DPS dragoon whilst frequently trying to keep the tank alive with a weak heal that's only good in the lv16 dungeon. (I didn't sign up to be healer!)

I was very patient and friendly because I know exactly how it is having to learn stuff in this game - and what it's like trying to learn when there's a d**k in the group. But I was glad to finish that dungeon. Got no commendations as memory serves but it doesn't matter, people probably just wanted to leave quick.

(I then ran that dungeon about 50 times unsynced to my despair for some gear, because RNGesus hated me)



One time on Tam Tara Deepcroft hard. I said hi, the group ignored me. The tank slapped me (?) then tried to pull the whole dungeon and caused a quick wipe. They then proceeded to pull the whole dungeon twice more under the illusion they're invincible. The healer couldn't have healed faster if she'd tried, and quickly got fed up and left, the DPS following suit. I told them they're pulling too much - the healer can't keep up, and left also. I think they're still in that dungeon.


Another Tam Tara Deepcroft hard one morning, had the biggest A hole of a healer I'd come across. They kept whinging at the group in a arrogant fashion and the other DPS bard (who may not have known the mechanics) was taking most the flack. The healer said "respect the strats!" and i said "they're not strats, they're mechanics, and you've explained them to the person poorly". In the end they said "this bard is a dumbass, you are stupid bro" to the bard. I wanted to have a go at them but they quickly left. I also tried to tell the bard to ignore them but they left. The tank was like "uh..gg..ty everyone" lol. I don't know why I tried to become a referee. Like why are you so angry at 6am dude? go back to sleep, don't play this game.

Honorable mentions:

Hullbreakers Isle. Twice when I've done that as DPS there was a wipe at the very start haha. Don't underestimate the mobs at the start of that one.

And Aurum Vale makes me laugh. Doesn't matter how long people have played this game. That dungeon tends to mess everyone up.
