Commendation performance?

[TruebladeNuke]

Can it fly...then it'll be even more the best mount ever. XD

Yes actually. As someone who has the Parade Chocobo, I can confirm that it does indeed fly like the regular Fat Chocobo. And yes, it IS hilarious to see.



The struggle is real.

They're probably just forgetting to commend you. I'd recommend reminding them.

At the end of every dungeon, be sure to say something along the lines of "Hey, everyone! I was an absolutely spectacular healer in this run! Remember to commend me for all of my stellar work!"

You'll definitely get more commendations. I *coughs* totally guarantee it.

Here's the thing OP: most people really don't care about your masturbatory opinion of yourself. If that really gets your knickers in THAT much of a twist, maybe you should play a different game.

Me on run I work my butt off for: 0 commendations
Me half-assedly tanking Titan HM for lights and maybe the triple triad card: 7 commendations even though tanking is the easiest job in the entire fight.

You can't force people to give you a comm. But the protocol that we've had since they introduced the system was tank comms healers and DPS comm each other, that way everyone walks out with something - unless the person did something to UN-earn a commendation, or someone else pulled out something amazing.

Here's a list of what has gotten (+) my comm in the past and which ones have not (-)

+Had a spat with another member. Gave comm to the peacemaker.
+Friendly player
+Does their job well, but not a dick
+Healers who dealt with my dumb ass when I was having an off day with mechanics
-Comm beggers
-Dicks
-Derps. We all have our off days. Just be willing to accept you won't get many comms that day.

As a side note, today in my LLR, I got the Aery. I wasn't sure who to give my comm to, and we were already past the instant wipe mechanic on the last boss. NIN goes down and the healer's raise macro had a line in party chat, "You've met with a terrible fate." Majora's Mask reference got my comm. Ironically, the healer may not have gotten that comm had they done just a bit better keeping the NIN alive.

I've been going into dungeons recently, as Dragoon, and getting 2 out of the 3 commendations almost all of the times.

I talk, I crack jokes (really really bad ones), I act supportive.

I also don't die like 95% of dragoons who don't know how to play a survivalist class.

Playing your class right might seem like what gets you commendations, but it's attitude.

I 've been getting a lot as DRG lately as well. Even if I'm having a bad run and mess up (heres looking at you, Tioman, and jumping while chaos blast is centered on me), I just apologise for being a loldrg and still get commed.

L at the OPs comment about how she absolutely never says anything unless someone asks the mechanics, and thinks this it a good way to get comms. I think shes just used to getting the default healer comms and got a bit of a big head over it.

[Kahnom]

Even if no one give you commendation,its ok just keep performing your great skill out there to help people and then someday,somerun ..
someone will notice your performance and will give you commendation.Don't give up !

[lvlagmarink]

i180 SCH with hive weapon, 300-500 DPS on every pull and boss, swiftcast stoneskin + adlo on the tank before every pull, adlo + deployment tactics before every boss pull, no one ever even close from dying, dispelled every single debuff the same second it was applied, used selene and fey wind to further boost party dps, used stuff such as eye for an eye, virus and rouse constantly to further mitigate and make life's tank easier, anticipated aoe boss attacks with indomitability to give the party the impression everything was under control by having everyone topped permanently.

Dungeon is over. Zero commendations.

Might as well remove the whole commenndation thing because it's clearly a farce.

If i was in your party, i prolly wont give you any either simply because you made the run too smooth without unexpected epic dying events..

How are you playing it? I tend to get more coms as a Healer than as a DPS. I also try to be fair and only doll out to those I feel have performed their role best. I think with the Tank at the forefront and still being in higher demand as a class a few people feel commendations are an active encouragement.
When I am healing I try to use my initial buff cast time to say hello properly and get a feel for the party. Sometimes people are responsive and that can lend to a very fun run other times I just look like I am talking to myself... which amuses me if no one else and at least I feel I have made an effort.
Its always nice to receive commendations but don't let it get to you if you don't. It's an additional feature not a required one. If you know you are doing a great job and your FC and Linkshell's are happy with what you do, don't worry about it.

[Kopuno]

99% of the time, my Commendation is heading to the Healer. Because being a Tank, and doing some of the goofy crap I do, all while not hitting the floor.. Is worth a Thanks~
