Looking for tips on How to find a good FC

[einwol]

I am looking for a group of people who loves to play ffxiv. Thus far, if I find a group that has active members, they seem to be elitist and rarely want to help with content where they don’t get something. Or I find cool and helpful people, but they are rarely on.

IMO, The joy of helping people is what makes OUR game special and we get to have epic battles over and over. (Titan, I’m looking at you). Do you think and feel the same?

I’d love to be part of a group that:

-Runs content for the sake of its members with fun and excitement, not grumbling and contempt
-Cares about the training and progression of the FC or LS as a whole
-Has the social skills and likes to chat – Go go TS!
-Values mature and considerate folk.
-(Bonus) Has memebrs going to FFxiv Fan Fest – Go Las Vegas

If you have tips on finding good groups, let me know. If you know of or are part of a crew like this, reply or PM me. I am willing to change servers, if a group like this is out there.

Tip 1: Never ever join an FC that throws out blind invites
2: Check your server forums
3: Uhh..beyond that try to make friends with them or join their LS first if they have one?

My fc/ls sounds a lot like what you want, BUT we focus on catching people up (particularly new people) rather than actual progression, so at the moment we spend a lot of time farming 1st coil and helping people with story missions

Thanks for referring your FC. I would have came over if our server wasnt blocked off for new characters...

Hey Dijana! I made the jump to hyperion. If you are still around, I'd be down with joining your LS and if there is room for me, your FC. My current FC doesn't have a spot for me to progress with them. All I do is PUG and craft. I'd like to be more focused in my playtime. I am online now if you see this.

Seems to me like good FCs (or guilds in any game in general) ask you to join after you get to know a member or you make an impression.

From an objective point of view with a little good reputation/shout/LS here and there of course, trial and improvement is the only way. A comparison for example would be if I asked a number of people what's a good strat-based game. All of them would have different outlooks on which is the best one (according to them).

Best bet is either:
-Find an FC and make it a home for you
-Leave FC if not to your liking, then repeat step 1
-Get a really close in-game friend to invite you to his FC (assuming they said it good)

Took me a good few FCs to find the right one and I hope you find yours soon!

I just joined and left FC's, if after 3 or so days I wasn't feeling it, I moved onto the next. After a month I found one to settle down on.

Avoid ninja random invites first of all, as they welcome you only as a number and not as a member. If you want progressing at your own pace, find ones that are casual on this, some hardcore raid FC will impose a schedule for you to come online to raid or else you get shoved with blames (which is the reason for most static's downfall and people quitting raid/this game). You can join the FC to find out if it's good for you or up to your expectations, some FC even lie to you claiming they are "pro" or "friendly" but everyone in there could just be zombies waiting for fresh meat. Leave the moment when they start saying things like "freesshhh meatt" or "braaiinnsS!!"

Also when considering server transfer you might want to consider -where- to transfer, it's going to be hard if you transferred to a wrong one where the timezone isnt suitable for you (like NA -> EU server). You can create another alt character in other server to find a place that you can fit in before you consider transfer.

If the FC I'm in had more members, I'd say we might be what you're looking for. At the moment, we have no schedule and just help people do whatever, whenever. We were working on T5 and Titan EX, but lost a few members for reasons out of our control. We plan to pick that back up soon, regardless of lacking members.

We're very small right now. Not usually more than 7 people on at once. We also have a very wide range of humor, so if you're easily offended even if it's all in jokes and fun, best to stay far far away.

We also are active pretty late. Probably ranging from 5pm EST to ~6am EST.

If you get desperate and everything but our lack of members fits with you, we're here on Behemoth.

Hiya!

I made a character on Behemoth by the name of Moshe Feldenkrais. I thought you could use a hand in rebuilding. I'm online now.
