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

Every time I do Expert as a tank, I get The Twinning. Every. Single. Time.

We can trade, I always get the Akademia. I'm so tired of it and the annoying Street Sharks as bosses.

I kind of wish SE would cover the entire screen with this because obviously people don't see this or they're pigheaded and stupid. If you see this, maybe consider the fact that you actually have a new person running the instance?? Instead of being a jerk face maybe explain mechanics if I'm getting it wrong?? Oh I forgot, standard is to watch a guide and be absolutely perfect the first time otherwise you're garbage. SMH!!

Or, you know, you could speak up and say "I'm new to this dungeon let me know if there are any tricky mechanics I need to know about."

So if I don't do that and no one dies to ANY boss in the dungeon I'm healing but I mess up one mechanic, is that fair to get bitched at the entire dungeon??

Far more often than not, when I was new and would ask if there was anything specific I needed to do, the response I was met with was "don't die". SO very helpful. :P

Very rarely did someone say something like "watch out for ____, it will ____", so yeah... I find no issue with what Violet_Galaxy is saying. They're valid complaints.

Can confirm i had to deal with this too at one point. its even better when they act condensending because you're the first time tank and then complain when you don't mass pull a dungeon you've never done before.

i usually say "You gon die" but i still give out what to look for.

[Raltar]

Most people will tell you what to do if you ask. A very small number of players won't and those players, more often than not, don't know what to do either.

[SturmChurro]

If someone says "I'm new here any mechanics I should look out for?", unless it's a fight I think could wipe us, I say nothing - well sometimes I'll say "you should be fine". If we start having trouble, because of something stupid, that's when I actually say something. People should learn through doing anyway, I went in blind my first times too.

[Suniva]

Was in a dungeon (Qitana Ravel to be precise) with me (ast) friend (dnc) a gnb tank and brd. The dots kept falling off we noticed and so my dnc buddy mentioned they could use iron jaws...

In case you are not aware of the bard toolkit, what he would be missing at that level since he had not done his quests would be:
The Wanderer's Minuet
Empyreal Arrow
Iron Jaws
The Warden's Paean
Sidewinder
Refulgent Arrow
Basically, his entire damage toolkit to make him viable.
...He was level 76..This was a 76 bard and he was missing all of the above because he did not do quests cause it was too time consuming.
*sigh*

Well if it's newer dungeons, it's nothing you haven't seen before really.
They will just tell you to video it because they don't feel like wasting time sitting and telling you things when they can fight.

On one hand, these new dungeons, even from like 60+ are nothing you haven't seen before.
On the other, these mechs are also easy enough to say "Watch for X and Y" too.

I don't say nothing anymore because people don't listen no ways.
