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

Thinking back on it, I guess it could have been a mt. I'm still very confused.

On topic, I'm very bad at Titan (Hard). I know, I know, it's NOT that hard. But the bombs are a mechanic I just have a hard time with, even though I know it's simple. Run to the ones that are last-ish, wait for others to go off before running back to the safe spot. I know what to look for.

Queue for it because The Beast That Mourned at the Heart of the Mountain (which is a quest I'm just not strong enough for, thanks Squeenix), one tank almost immediately gets knocked off, at around 50, 40%? The other healer goes off. I proceed to solo-heal it and dodge bombs almost perfectly (only got hit by one, and dodged every other mechanic).

Walked out with one commendation. :\ Okay.

I... I think I know what that means... and it's kind of rude and I don't know why it's been said because all I said at the beginning was I'm gonna do my best and at the end I hope everyone has a nice day!! I've kept up, healed, no one ever got close to dying

Well you ARE from balmung.... ok, joking aside i can only think of one explanation that would make sense to me. He could have meant to put that into a different chat channel and just didnt notice the mistake. I know ive accidentally spoken in the wrong channel more times then i would care to admit(usually noticing and saying something like "oops, wrong chat" eventually).

I had a fun run on Fractal Hard, when it came up I thought “oh great, a nice quick run!” which it usually is. Wrong.

I was healing on WHM, we had a PLD, DRG and BRD.

The DRG had all 290 armour and 360ish jewellery.

Tank lost aggro quite a bit, DRG didn’t appear to do much damage and the BRD as far as I could see played no songs, or bothered using Quick Nock, and then occasionally Rain Of Death.

Normally by the time you get to the last boss it’s like 75 mins left on the clock, this time it was 59, plus the final boss fight took aaaages!

"SAM, please, do AOE"

I had a sprout from mentor roulette try his best to convince me to divorce my SO and marry him instead because he's better.

After I said no chance, he called me gay and left. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah. Um...

Yeah.

You ever had one of those days where you embarrass yourself so hard that you just want to crawl in a corner and shrink into a ball out of shame?

I just had that kind of day.

Namely, I blanked out so hard at Thunder God Cid after getting into an in-progress party that...

1) I started the fight going to a different party, so everyone in that party watched as someone with an UwU weapon fell flat on the floor barely 20 seconds into the fight.
2) During add phase, I ran in a different direction from the rest of the party in order to dodge AoEs, and ended up targeted with the stack marker afterwards. I took the hit solo and died.

yeah that's all kinds of reportable

....................................................

not much on my end since the only DF i've done recently was for getting my job stones for Paladin and Warrior with lowbie dungeons and guidhests, but i have already experienced other players running ahead to pull in places like Tam-Tara (really? and i did try to make larger pulls there if people looked eager but how big can they be in a place like that?) and one healer who died in a guildhest while dpsing... (???)

but other than those odd cases people have been really supportive and patient

You know, with multiple jobs are 70, I tend to think tanks would know to turn the boss away from the group.

So I end up in Shisui of the Violet Tides with a tank that just wouldn't bother turning the boss away from us. Even we told to do so.

Oh well... went with it. At least in that dungeon, bosses aren't that dangerous lol.

I hope you reported him.

We can't let pathetic players like that running around and pestering people.

Here's *tap tap* the *tap tap* eorzean *tap* tea

Went into duty roulette and got the dungeon aurum vale.
Our group was made of a sprout paladin lvl 48
A dragroon over lvl 49
A white mage over lvl 50
And me a summoner over lvl 50

So we started and had problems cause our tank wasn't really good at her job.
We reached the first boss but our dragoon died cause she accidently got aggro from a giant frog .
Our healer revived her and we started the first boss, after some minutes our tanks health got really low and apparently she got alot of the stacks , healer tells tank to take fruit but tank ignores it.

Result: Wipe

Okay so we try the boss again, healer tells tank to take a fruit at 2x stacks, tank ignores it and takes a fruit at a stack of one and for no reason consumes another fruit and does it again.

Tank dies, another wipe.

Okay on the way tank gets aggro but literally stands around and fails to keep aggro causing two of the three mobs to target the healer, in the meanwhile the tank also gets also aggro from a giant frog mob, tank dies , summoned titan egi but healer died and so did I.

When I respawned I left the dungeon like the healer cause I can't take people who won't listen to advice.
