The community so far.......

[DeboNA]

Just wondering......if this is normal......

I'm enjoying the game so far, but every time I use the call to duty, to do some dungeons o_O Peoples attitudes are pretty terrible.

Out of the last 10 runs 7/10 people are going crazy, when were not skipping certain mobs, or like if your not running through dungeon fast enough.

I mean I even mark my targets as a tank, and people say I'm just wasting time.

I'm 39 Currently.......Is this gonna keep happening till 50, will this just keep getting worse?

Should I re-roll from tank, to healer maybe dps? Is this normal in this community?

Sadly you will always encounter people like this in dungeons, below 40 gladiators I recommend marking because of the lack of shield oath (your main tanking skill). If people can't stand this politely tell them to leave, let them eat the agro or explain why you are doing it (hate management etc).

I seem to have had better experiences in dungeons, generally being chatty with smiles can bring out a better mood in people, silent runs are the worst. The worst places I see this kind of behaviour is in the main story and trial roulettes but you have a lone way to go before you start getting paired with them.

If it really is bothering you find an FC that is willing to help you out with dungeons etc so at least you won't have to use the duty finder.

It's mostly bad luck I think. But, well... I have two or three terrible experiences as well.
But no, it's not normal and shouldn't be. I'm sure you'll meet your share of really nice people as well.

Don't switch class for that reason.

About the silent runs... sometimes, it's just the Ps3/4 players not bothering with their awful virtual keyword, so don't take it to heart.

Yeah, for the most part, PS3/PS4 players won't touch their virtual keyboard because it literally locks them out of everything else. Even getting a USB keyboard would mean that they would have to put down their controller in order to type. I personally try to communicate using the auto-translate function, but it's extremely limited. Trust me when I say though that silent runs normally mean that nothing is out of the ordinary during the run.

I play PS4 and I have *never* had issues being able to type during gameplay. I've also had a lot of really fun, chatty runs with friends that also didn't take very long. I dunno, maybe I and most people I know are all anomalous but...I feel like that can't be the case.

Im on ps4 and i just have my keyboard in front of me and I type when an opportunity presents itself. Silent runs are not always bad but sometimes it just feels like something is off like silent groups in raids, usually means its preformed and they don't want to speak to anyone outside their little group.

Unfortunately that is the majority of the community so get used to it. They are the whiners that SE caters to. What happens when a group of cry babies keep getting their way? They cry even more. That is the essence of the XIV community.

Yes, because you've met every single person who plays this game.

WTF are you talking about? Mostly what I see are very friendly people. I don't understand any of what you are saying, and it's interesting how you are stating it as if it were fact.

the "Pug" rng is horrible. Don't change anything about you. Instead start looking for players that fit your play style and enjoy the game!
