Most Amusing Dungeon Stories?

[shape]

When doing a Zodiak dungeon with i90 geared group we get to last boss healers says Sec,Sec so i wait but do a ready check and he gets angry because i initiated one. This made me pissed so When they finally are ready and say 'Go tank' i said no isn't there a better way to say i am ready. Blackmage pulls and I just sat there and drank coffee. Theres allot more amusing things that have happened but this was the most recent

I did try to get the last boss down with the group (even tried Sword Oath) but the damage was far far too low, the fight took too long each attempt so 5 wipes later I left.

I had a WOD run where there were 12 bards across the whole alliance- 4 in each group. I even have a screenshot of it lol

I recently entered a Hullbreaker in one of my many attempts to get the Kraken Blood for the Zodiac weapon. Tank is in full-on Dreadwyrm. Healer has every slot filled with a fully melded i110 crafted piece. The two DPS were BLM's, myself and the other guy. Tank does the first pull, grabbing everything you can't avoid on the way up the hill, stopping halfway up before the boathull bridge. For some reason, the healer is unable to keep up with the healing. The other BLM and I are just waiting for the tank to get stuff into position, but we see his HP dropping and neither of us cast a single spell. Tank dies, healer dies. The other BLM and I just stare at each other, dumbfounded while the tank blames us for the wipe (huh?). Neither of us says anything because we're too flabbergasted to even respond. Tank pulls the same stunt. This time his health isn't dropping as fast so we BLM's do our thing and start AoEing. Sure enough, tank dies, healer dies, we all wipe. First thing tank says... "You have to kill the Sifaka's first." Wat? I say "Maybe we could take it a little slower? Both you and the healer seem to be getting overwhelmed with that pull." A vote-abandon is initiated... and passes. @_@ I have no words.

LoL Teslo i tried that too the 1st time i did HullBreaker Isle, after i was better geared on Zodiak.I was the only one who died( thank god) Good healer. I noticed afterwards the 1st pull is gated, its faster just to kill the 1st group then pull them all, skipping the 2nd group, even then the final sting from the bees is fast track towards tanks dropping like sack of ****. Shame your tank was stubborn.

Also adding to your comments on Castrum Meridianum Smitty, yes many groups seem to not remember how to run that dungeon, they leave their brains before entering maybe. The amount of times DD do not stay on cannons when tanks are pulling adds back, too many times to count. also had what you said happen and it does make me LMFAO every time.

Expert Roulette solo and I was qued with 3 Lalafells, one of which was named Peanut Butter. He begged and pleaded for me to not eat him, and his friends kept kneeling lol. After we finished the last boss he spammed a bunch of macros (one, impressively, of a giant peanut butter can) and thanked me for not consuming him. I didn't say one word, I only did /doubt the entire time. Lol

I'm pretty patient as far as tanks go. I've held a lot of hands in my time, and helped newbie groups through to the end of many a dungeon. To date, there's only been one time that I've been tempted to vote abandon on a run.

The dungeon was Wanderer's Palace. I was on PLD, and had queue'd up with my sister on BRD. Duty Finder matched us with a WHM and a BLM. Right off the bat, things were a bit odd; the WHM was consistently the one to initiate pulls, which he would do by running off and casting Stone II on mobs as we approached them. Questionable, to be sure, but I wasn't the sort to go on some power trip by letting him die when I could have saved him, and it was easy enough for me to collect the mobs after he pulled them and tank them myself.

Pretty soon, though, we identified a disturbing pattern to the WHM's playstyle. After a pull, he would continuously cast Stone II until I was at about half health. At that point, he'd switch over to Cure III, and cast that on me until he was out of MP (this usually did not take very long). From then until the rest of the fight, there would be no curing at all.

After barely surviving a couple of pulls, we tried talking to the WHM, letting him know that Cure was much more MP efficient, and that Cure III should only be used when healing multiple people at once. He did not answer (and, in fact, was off pulling the next group of mobs), so after barely surviving the next pull, we attempted again, using Auto-translate phrases. Again no response or change in behavior.

Needless to say, by the time we reached the first boss, the Goobue, it was the first time that I'd ever been nervous about stepping into the ring with it since I'd faced it for the first time, fresh to 50. Sure enough, the WHM behaved just as before: Stone II until I was halfway dead, then Cure III until out of MP. The BLM tried to keep me alive but the boss eventually managed to take me down even so. The BLM was next to die, and my sister managed to kite the thing around on BRD. All the while, the WHM was waiting until he had enough MP to cast Stone II, casting it, then going back to waiting. We begged and pleaded with him to cast Raise, both in English and in Auto-translate - and, miracle of miracles, he actually DID, eventually. I managed to get up and recover enough to resume tanking. I died again, but it was enough to bring the Goobue down.

By that point it was pretty clear that the rest of the dungeon was going to be a nightmare. We'd tried to help the guy out, but he just wasn't listening. I was finally ready to vote abandon for the first time ever - when just like in a cheesy movie where the bad guy gets killed by someone else so the hero doesn't have to dirty his hands, the BLM voted abandon for me.

Why didn't you vote kick him? Was this before that was added? Cuz "not listening and getting the group killed" is an acknowledged and accepted use of the system by GMs.

Just happened last night. Queued up for Trial Roulette and I always have in progress selected. In progress came up and I could only think of 1 trial that would need a DPS for that. Sure enough, Titan HM came up with myself and 2 other DPS in the group. That was it. Everyone else was gone. We were all thinking the same thing. We hung around though and eventually the group managed to get up to 5. Said I could leave and come back on my tank just to get things going, so I did. I couldn't go in as trial roulette so I just queued up normally on my tank for titan HM to help those guys out. i went right in and managed to get into the group I was with originally. We decided to 6 man it and I pulled. A ninja came in part way through and died promptly lol. I said, don't worry about it, we'll carry you!

We finished up, I got the scholar book and we all left. I managed to get 3 commendations for that fight. Went into trial roulette as normal after that. Even managed to get good king moogle card in the process

Had a hullbreaker isle recently I was on BLM, we had a MNK, PLD, and a WHM.

The PLD was very low ilevel compared to the rest of us, I would guess it as maybe i90-i95, he only had Atma weapon. This was fine though the problem was he was in sword oath and didn't seem to know what flash was.

He pulled the first 3 monsters and we got through it but he couldn't hold hate at all, my BLM is like i122 so I basically couldn't attack anything without pulling hate and the WHM kept pulling hate too. I was about to type something but he pulled another TWO packs of monsters...safe to say healer died and then the rest of us cause he wasn't holding hate at all, no flash, and still in sword oath.

So I asked nicely, I said to him that he has to use shield oath and use flash more because he is not holding any hate and it is killing the WHM and myself and we aren't going to be able to complete the dungeon like this (along with the healer and mnk saying similar things). He just completely ignores us and continues to pull monsters...we tried again but healer died from pulling hate on everything with just regen I think. So again we asked him to use shield oath, but he keeps just running off and ignoring us, so we had to vote kick him out.

I dont know if he was a bot or what, it was really weird.
