Party Finder Experience.

[Elvin]

I don't think that people enter those groups expecting to be carried. But people needs to win exp somewhere, so... Either you find or build a practice party for a specific phase, or you watch a video, learn the pattern, and join a "exp" party ... And if you do the last one, chances for a fail the first times are good. (Because you can not practice latter phases of hard phases on Duty Finder)


But if you join one party that says "1 fail = Kick" you shoud just be patient. Keep replacing players till you get a group of players with exp.

Anyway my experience is way better on PF that in DF, and I'm on Moogle. Last night I entered as a tank, with an alter, Duty Finder for Garuda EM (As I never had it done before as a tank, I wanted to give it a first practice there). Tank pulled (The other tank ) and in the first wave attack of Garuda 1 DPS go out of rocks too soon and die. He says "Oops, sorry, won't happend again". We go on a minute or so and Garuda hides again and makes another wave attack,, another guy dies, 1 guy disconect, another guy disconect, another guy disconect.... That's what I saw of EM primals on Duty Finder.

Most partys for Garuda EM in our server will get it done if you stay with them some time, and you can find a farming group if you are patient enought to spend 30-40 min building that farming group.


But of course you can't expect Party Finder to be something like "Oh, "Garuda EM farming group, only exp", I'm sure that only people with exp will join and we'll be farming since minute one" In you are looking for one you shoud join the group, and if the leader of the group knows the fight and is not the problem, wait till you find 8 players that know it. And expect a few wipes in the middle.

And comunication is a good thing. I mean, anyone can fail once,a group shoud not be disbanded for that...

I'm willing to stay, but when the tanks rage at the fact a DPS got hit by the blast before going into the Spiny Plume dome and leave straight away and then everyone else leaves the group, it gets frustrating. I think I'm getting really unlucky on Moogle because I've joined several different groups and tried creating my own to no avail.

But yeah, I guess I should stop joining Fail = Kick parties. I did find a really good Coil party this week that did 1-3 pretty well (I even got 2 pieces of loot for my main class), but anything else I've had horrible luck with.
