Commendations in frontlines

[Stupiduglytaru]

Do you ever give these out and why, post your stories ^^

Personally these are my favourite to get over pve content, plenty of times i try to give them out but everyone leaves too fast xD

Recently got 6 in 1 run when I was running as whm (only levelled this for PvP), it was a 24 slaughter match not 1 of us died despite constant melee and blm lbs

I tend to give mine out to those that either take charge of marking targets out and leading a group, impressive dps or those that actually have a brain and protect healers when under attack

[CeveArthu]

I give them out to polite people, but generally i dont commend because people should be queueing for wolves den instead of this joke of a gametype >:]

[Zensho]

Ppl prolly leave quickly to ensure a spot so the next que pop faster lol
But I've been sticking around lately cuz I'm getting close to 1500 comms XD

I pretty much always commend a healer in the group if they don't neglect their responsibilities altogether (like casting weak DPS spells vs Esuna/Leeches as team members stay slept/bound). It takes a bad healer to not commend, like a healer that leaves me slept for 20s in the beginning to a fully upgraded Nightwing while they cast less important spells.

It's funny you ask this because last night I joined a 24 man Slaughter via Roulette where there were no healers, and so I offered to swap to SCH since no one else wanted to. Respent all my AP's. A WHM joined and I realized during battle they were doing really well and I didn't recognize them so they were prob newer to PvP. I mentioned in the fight even they were one of the better PVP healers I'd seen in awhile after I'd seen how quickly they unslept me each time. We won the game despite the DPS's not getting many nodes pretty much by denying the other teams all but a really small number of kills,we were able to bring people back with PVP res in most cases. Won the game, got 1 commendation, hoped the other healer got the rest... saw they were from my server and spoke with them after to recruit for my LS. Ended up asking how many commendations they got cause I had a suspicion, and I was right, the answer was 1 which was from me. So none of the DPS's we's frantically kept alive so they could play they role they chose thought it was worth the trouble.

So yeah all I can say is screw you Twin Adder ingrates, I've swapped DPS-> Healer for a PUG team in Slaughter for the last time cause this is far from the first match like this. I would rather watch a team die off one by one from now on than take on the hardest job for them, get none of the achievement points related to kills, and wind up with like no commendations for it even if we come in first, what more do you expect from us in a Slaughter match of all things.

I always give a comm in either frontlines or wolves den as long as I remember and people haven't left yet.

Gotta get that parade chocobo somehow... you get a lot more during solo queue wolves den events because games pop quickly and don't last 15 mins like frontlines.

[Buff_Archer]

I just saw the parade chocobo mount and it's the Fat Chocobo (which I already have) with the Soverign Barding hat. Have to look close to even see the difference. I guess they grind up all 3000 comms into Chocobo food, and that's how you get Fat Chocobo. Not what I was expecting.

It's hard to give them since people leave very quickly in order to get back into a match ASAP, lol.

[Honourlessichi]

I stopped giving them out,might sound selfish to say but,i feel there have been times i deserved comms and never gotten one just because i'm dps so,why would i bother.
(seems a lot of players just automatically commend healer because they haven't really got a clue who was performing well other than scoreboard,which takes precious time to check...ironically i'm guilty of that myself on occasion)

[StrejdaTom]

I always give them to healers because I tried healing in PvP a few times and it bore me a lot, I also believe it is the hardest thing to do in PvP.
Shame that no one bothers to give me a commendation even when I have over 110K DPS and 10 kills on BRD -_- I feel so underappreciated.

Healing can be fun if you make it fun. Have you ever took the time to scout enemies near the ramp? So many chances to Aura Blast/Fluid Aura people off. It's hilarious. I still remember the day I got 5 kills off one Aura Blast. <3
