"I Was Out of That!" (Some Life Lessons)

[seekified]

There's an easy way to avoid that: don't use DF. Use PF and set your own rules. Otherwise, with DF, you get what you get, and sometimes that means you get a party that isn't capable of clearing the fight. That's just something you have to expect when you queue up for something via DF.

These days, just about every fight outside of Final Coil can be completed with a couple of people dead on the floor. One person failing at mechanics and dying shouldn't make that much of a difference, and if it does, that means the rest of the party probably isn't that great either.

Yeah, absolutely. That's usually what I do for anything that's not faceroll content. I just think that on some level it's kind of disrespectful to play networked games with bad network circumstances, but I know that's a harsh thing to say.
