Being kicked from dungeons, not able to complete quest

[Tamiyacowboy]

these dungeon this are very annoying. i start playing and after not very long i am ejected from my own quest. i am then unable to finish the quest and move forwards in the main storyline.

I would like to know if there is a way i can skip these other player quests and just get on with playing the game. right now i am stuck nubale to move forwards in the storyline.

great game just a pitty your FORCED to do these dungeons and then become banned/kicked/ejected from them.

cooldowns ? yadda yadda, i played for a couple weeks now and have no clue what is going on, its come to the point that i am let running around doing nothing.

Please please add in a way solo players can atleast finnish the main quest storyline without having to join 4 man groups.

No voice coms built into the game either so you have to spend half the fight typing on a keyboard to get any answer, i mean
com on Square a simple group coms is not a hard to instigate add on/upgrade.

Yeah, they don't want to add voice chat because it's more overhead for them to deal with and most players use a 3rd party method already. All I can say about the dungeons is that you need to tell people that you're new and inexperienced and they should help you out/ give you some leeway. Once you have a feel for it, it's not too difficult. If you keep having trouble maybe try leveling a DPS instead. People will not notice your screw ups nearly as much. Being a tank puts you in the spotlight and everyone is watching/ relying on you.

Why don't you know, learn how to play the game? It's a MMORPG. If you're getting ejected from story/progression dungeons consistently, ITS NOT THEM, it's you.

i have played an MMORPG for the past 8-9yrs 24/7 , pvp and pve.
i know its me, but does not help when your kicked out without no explanation at all.
it took me ages just to get three player confirms to gain the quest, but its becoming more hard.

gladiator to me is hack n slash and thats what i thought it was.

do i have to delete my gladiator lvl 25 and start all over again ?

No. Gladiator is tank. You have to learn how to tank properly, or you won't progress.

If you've been playing MMOs for "8-9 years 24/7 pvp and pve" then you should be able to recognize a tank when you see it. Gladiator is a tank, not a "hack and slash" (you seem to be meaning DPS?) class. That's why they use a shield, and have taunt abilities.

If you don't know how to properly tank, as the amount of dungeon kicks you've gotten seems to suggest, then consider just buying a weapon for one of the other physical DPS classes like Lancer/Archer/Puglist, equip it, and presto - you're now that class instead.

If you do not feel like playing a tank, got to a DPS guild and take a quest from the receptionist. Melee DPS classes are Pugilist (in Ul'Dah) and Lancer (in Gridania). Magic DPS classes are Thaumaturge (in Ul'Dah) and Arcanist (in Limsas Lominsa). Arcanist can also learn a healer job later.

If you still would like to learn how play a tank, tank forums are very helpful: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/f...657-Tank-Roles

read the tutorials, even veterans can learn a few things inside them ;D

That said, you can pick a new class whenever you feel like it, no need to delete your gladiator

As Tank, you have to take the lead role in every dungeon. Tanks get kicked out because they are not prepared for new dungeons (= not knowing what to do) or undergeared. Of course not all the time, because there are many other people in dungeons who can help out with tips and tricks, but overall i can just suggest you to watch a video guide on youtube for every new dungeon, so you can prepare yourself and know what to do in specific moments during boss fights in that dungeon. I know that this is might be something you dont want to do, because it seems you only want to play the solo part of the game, but the 4-man dungeons are a very important content in the game. They simply teach every player how to do well in thier specific role and to be prepared for end game content once they completed the main story.

So yeah, as tank you did choose the hardest class in this game. Your only option is to watch guides before you enter a new dungeon.

Edit: Some dungeons are also a heavy difficulty spike, like brayflox.

Make 3 friends.
Be funny, sociable, direct, what have you.
And let them know you're struggling a bit. And that you're looking for a solid group/pointers.

Either you want to improve and not be a burden (in which case, congratulations and I already like you), or you're better suited to an offline game where you can play as you want without it interfering with other's time (which is perfectly fine).

Also, check out the guides online that will give you ideas of what your role is and how best to use your skills. Will help you immensely.
