Research a dungeon before you queue up

as a gamer, i pride myself on learning stuff as i go. i hate resorting thru walkthroughs and much more videos... sure sometimes i ask for any particular notes on a boss but i like to take in the pattern the developers made for myself and not watch someone else's game.. sure it might be way smoother if i watched/studied it before hand but my gamer conscience is telling me thats cheating myself. its like taking the test and knowing the questions before you even start or watching a movie and knowing the ending.

dont you think that'd be quite boring? knowing something before it even happens.. no more sense of surprise.

I'm coming from knowing what's coming and performing well at it, some people know what's coming and don't perform well

And no guide in the world will fix that.

The trend in this game is simple. If it's your first time on a difficult boss... you will wipe at least once... perhaps twice. Then you learn the pattern and rarely wipe again.

All the guides in the world don't prepare you for how it's going to work for you to overcome your own mistakes and shortcomings.

Had a tank who never knew the bees spawned on demon wall because he'd only ever run it with full relic+1 darklight guildees (he was one run short and I was full relic+1 darklight but the bard was GC weapon and 2 pieces darklight XD). We still beat it, but even though he'd been there multiple times yadda yadda.

I still couldn't tell you "the proper way" to beat the last guy in Wanderer's Palace. I use Titan to tank while the PLD scoops up the adds and tanks those elsewhere lol. Only ran it a handful of times but never done it any other way. Don't really care what a guide has to say, but I'm always open to improvement.

I generally follow the tanks lead and pepper advice for future runs (like you can skip these mobs etc etc). No reason to change the momentum of the run if you're used to things a certain way UNLESS you're wiping.

With AK/Ifirit HM/Garuda HM I have netflix open in the corner of my screen and only half pay attention. I imagine the rest of the content will be that way soon for a lot of people. I focus for what I need to focus on

well thats pretty much the problem of the world... even in real life there are people knowing how to do things but not perform well... my point is that it shouldnt be a mandatory thing to read up on everything and watch youtube fights before jumping in a dungeon which is a huge spoiler.. at some point everyone is a first timer in a dungeon. I expect newbies in Duty Finders much like myself on my first try but if i want to play with the top dogs who i can expect to know the pattern, I'd have to form the party manually by asking FC or other experienced players.

thats my opinion atleast... ive seen other players bullying newbies because its their first try. ive even experienced some of them
