Tales from Duty Finder: Some make you laugh, some make you cry. Let's vent.

this shin ex pt was doomed from the start... first pull, our sch can't stay alive very long into p1. we replace and go back in. everyone is doing pretty well until p3 where we have a few deaths but everyone gets up. we plug away until reiryus, then half our party is wiped out (from what, idk tho). blow an lb3 to raise everyone, it's time to hop on the wings but we have no lb! obviously we wipe, then the tank catches an attitude, says "i hate this group.", blames the dps and leaves. typical of pf fashion, everyone leaves after and my friends and i have a laugh about "i hate this group." it's our meme now.

That's pretty bad. You didn't need LB to kill the wings in i330 gear, let alone i360+ gear.

Does any other BLM players hate it or get confused when they're in a dungeon, trial, or raid party and you get a DRG (maybe even several as I've been in a Sigmascape normal Kefka run that had two DRGs, one BLM (myself), and a MCH), and you watch the DRG (hoping that they'll give you their "best friends forever" tether) and instead...they give it not to the monk, not to the summoner, not to any other melee or ranged class....but to the tank(s).

To be fair, if you're not in position to get the tether I'm not going to move to give it to you. On the topic of giving it to the tank, I've asked numerous DRGs over the months to give me tether. if I'm 1st or second highest DPS it goes to me not the NIN/RDM who is sustained 2k DPS in a dungeon. Some DRGs even do this natively without me saying anything because they're in the know.

ShinEx learning party last night. Four of us had never done it at all, and five hadn't cleared it. After a couple of false starts (someone came to an advertised learning party expecting to get a kill on the third attempt?), we got this great WAR who invited everyone to his Discord for callouts, and combined with the RDM who started the group to help us clear (hi Moro!), was super patient. They even accommodated my "I can't have a marker for phase 3 on my head because I can't see the tail marker in phase 1" frustration.

And with 21 minutes on the timer, we started another attempt to get the clear. Go team!

Just wanted to put it out there because while PF is sometimes a crapshow, there's also some really awesome people in there.

I love PF sometimes. Especially 1st week "learning parties". When people are on the same page it's a nice touch. It's especially why I like learning parties, it removes the I'm trying to get carried to a clear people. Once in a blue moon someone gets confused (clicked on wrong pt, or can't read english).

However, a lot of "clear" parties have a minimum of 1 person who doesn't truly belong.

Was in Pony Farm for Ifrit to help my friend - Nightmare dropped the leader won and said, "YES FINALLY NOW I CAN GET KIRIN!!" Disbanded PT.

A few minutes or so later he was back in PF again.

Rip.

Sorry but what is Kirin?

Sorry but what is Kirin?

The pony reward for collecting the 6 elemental ponies.

I assume they meant the pony you get when you collect all ponies.

And Nightmare is the one pony that doesn't count towards being able to get it.

Ah Mentor Roulette. The place where the dungeon can be 46min in progress(Praetorium), with them already fighting the final boss, and you walk away with commendations. Roughly 1min to finish(didn't have to do ANYTHING), and got 4 commendations.

Edit: Second Mentor Rou of the night puts me in Ifrit NM...wonder what third one will be!

I got into susano norm on trial roulette. I'm a healer. The other healer said he'd not done it before. Fine, I thought. It might get rough, I thought, but it'd be fine. The new healer dies about three times. Half the DPS gets wiped. We lose each tank at various points. I use angel feathers to resurrect the entire party and half-solo heal the entire thing because I'm resurrecting the rest of the group while trying to keep enough MP to even use physick. And despite all that, we manage to beat it first try.

I think I just learnt what a heart attack feels like.

Explain to me....

Might want to edit your post to not include the large number of expletives. Unless you're okay with a temporary forum ban, of course.

Edit:

Tanks need to...

Might want to further edit it...
