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

Queued Normal Trial roulette as Sage and M5(N) popped. Long story short, it wasn't a very experienced team (and I've never claimed to be any good at anything myself) and 99% of the team wiped with Dancing Green at 40%. However, one Tank - a Dark Knight - was left standing and proceeded to continue, with a few of the team asking for reset. Noo - he wasn't having any of that...

Nah, while he wasn't being efficient, I would've probably left if I had that incompetent of a party, especially with both healers being incompetent. It would've been hella annoying to accommodate 7 people who are just.... not trying.

Had an 'interesting' one a short time ago.

[7:39](Floor Picto) can u pls not waste time u cant solo him from 40%...
[7:39](Floor WHM) bro please just wipe already
[7:39](Arrogant Tank) chances are better me soloing him than u guys being alive
[7:39](FloorPicto) LMAO? no they're not
[7:40](Arrogant Tank) ill wall though
[7:40](Arrogant Tank) it looked too funny
[7:40](Arrogant Tank) seeing you guys look like headless chickens
7:40](Carin Eri) Yeah... I'm out. Sorry, I mean, yeah I died - a few times - but I don't really want to play alongside someone like you

I mean, I guess I should've stayed but I just didn't have the patience for that sort of obnoxious nonsense.

Yeah that's the easiest report if I've ever seen it. And multiple people would have reported him for that too. All because dude wanted to flex.

[Grimforth]

whilst I did submit a report I can't say I'm convinced that any action would've been taken.

I believe it would been considered griefing because he was literally wasting the time of 7 other people by trying to stay alive as long as possible.

once had a sage have a meltdown over me and my friend shirking eachother in P7 Normal, he wanted to kick me lmao then he refused to heal and put kardia on himself and got kicked, was hilarious

Good. Arrogant assumptions pertaining to an inexperienced team's performance aside, No-one wants to listen to a pretentious tank who thinks he's too good for the team gloat anyway. I have no doubt that the chat box would quickly fill with "good riddance" messages following the departure of such an unpleasant attitude.

Today we no longer say "bro just die and reset, stop soloing this boss...", it would be: "bro use phoenix down!!! You don't have it?!"

'Interesting' one yesterday.

Queued Normal Trial roulette. M7 popped. Four players insta-bailed, with another two following in short order. Decided to leave too since the only other player (a Bard) remaining had nothing to say on the matter and by that point I thought it better to just queue again in the hopes of something more popular popping!

Oops. A1 or bust.

So I wanna point something out:

Raidwides are attacks that attack everyone in the raid, unless they're locked out of the boss room. Raidwides after certain percentages/instances of attack sequences will do an absolute boatload of damage that can and will most likely kill people outright if not mitigated.

So the three tanks I had in the Sandy Oreo raid earlier today, please, for the love of DUCKING LLYMLAEN, USE YOUR DUCKING PARTY-WIDE MITIGATION ON THE THIRD BOSS. It's the reason why we nearly wiped after the archduke finished his transition raidwide attack and had an absolute struggle-bus to get people back up and healed with repeated deaths from not having enough people for certain mechanics and unfortunate murder by overlap.

Yes, if any of you were wondering, I bore witness to almost 20 health bars magically disappear after the archduke finished his raidwide. Yes, my party managed to get off two healer lb3, one done by me and one done by my co-healer. Yes, the other parties hit their healer lb3s. Yes, you bet it was an absolute shitshow. Yes, at most during certain points we had 7 people up in total until the healer lb3s went off.

I need a drink.

Honestly the one thing that most players in this game will tell people who are new to a raid in general is to go in completely blind, but then when they start messing up mechanics then of course they start ruining the experience for everyone else. Funny thing is the exact opposite in wow and most players there will tell you to watch a video first and learn what to do and then raid.

Basically what I'm getting from this is that you had three fresh tanks who didn't know what they were doing and just made your job a lot more harder.
