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

Edit: Ok being serious now.

Castrum F(because Im not going to try to spell it). I believe that fan mechanic she does is basically run to the first one that lands and then run to the middle when it does it thing. There's plenty similar mechanics like that, but for some reason people have a hard time with this. People were just running to random ones and confusing me, and the ones with stack markers were all alone and we just die. The only one that got the hint, didn't run to the middle. oops

And tank couldn't keep still, turning her in random directions for no reason and cleaving people -.-.

I guess to be considerate, on her "last phase" I guess, she unloads pretty much all of her mechanics during that fan mechanic, except the "Moon" mechanic, so I guess that makes people panic.

The aim is actually to run to the last one that lands, next to the first, as it gives more time to run to the centre. Sounds like a messy fight all in all though!

Yeah, it's very similar to (Extreme) Titan's bombs, right? That's one of those mechanics I just have a very hard time with. I -entirely- get the concept, but putting it to play, I always run to the wrong one and end up biting dust.

People always say "x is so easy", but remember that not everyone learns the same or can do the same things you can. Some people may find what you find ridiculously easy to be hard, while maybe they find something easy you think is hard. It's just how it is. Please be kind to us that have difficulty with "simple" mechanics. For whatever reason, they aren't that simple to us, and I can tell you from experience - as I'm sure a LOT of people can - that panic can make even the best of us do -really stupid things- in the moment.

Okay, I read before that ppl were running the 71-79 dungeons with low gear, but I was lucky enough to not be in a group with them... until yesterday.
Our group wiped tow times during Qitana Ravel, which never happened to me before. Our tanked checked the healer and she was running around on Lvl 79 with an item lvl 290 book. Heck what?!
When the tank told the healer that an item lvl 390 book can easily get at Rhalgr's Reach, the healer responded that she will be Lvl 80 after this dungeon and doesn't care and the tank should just pull less.

Okay, healer was lvl 80 after this dungeon, but oh well, ... I still don't get why not getting a higher itemlvl weapon (which is suuuuper easy) before leveling.

[Nononu]

Or just do it with a Trust. You don't really have to worry about ilvl in that... heck, I've done a Trust, stepped away to do something, and come back to them just finishing the pull without me as a DPS...

You can literally get through a Trust dungeon without using a single skill. Let them do everything with the mobs and when you get to a boss, just follow them to do mechanics.

Yes, it's bad habit, yes, it's brain-dead, but... they don't care. xD

When you have a NIN AFK the entirety of Cruise Chaser normal mode and return just as the boss dies. And also when you have two healers standing around literally casting nothing and the SMN is the one raising dead people. Not DPSing. Not healing. Literally doing nothing.

NIN, you’re welcome for the carry. Healers, do your job. SMN, thank you for raising people when the healers can’t be arsed to do it.

Was doing MSQ roulette and everyone was completely silent until the end when this one guy called us all noobs, told us to blacklist him so he would never play with us ever again and insulted my boyfriend. This bloke hadn't said anything all run...That left me and my partner a little confused.

[ForctyusGold]

this happened to me too , and these two people just left , because you cant say anything against players who dont care , when joining a dungeon / im pretty sure doing leveling roulettes and youre over 71 you are having high possibility to get some of the new dungeons

Single pack pulls (and sometimes single mob pulls) in Wanderer's Palace. No, not WP Hard, straight up WP.

I was SCH. We had a fresh GNB (who had 260+ gear and accessories), a MNK, and a NIN.

I might have cured five times as most that whole dungeon. The rest of the time was me DPSing or getting oils and turning valves so I wouldn't be waiting on slow moving people.

I didn't join this group fresh, by the way. I replaced a healer and the time elapsed at 6 mins. They didn't make it to the first boss before I joined...

[Kobalos]

I died on a guild heist last night - Lvling up a WAR and only got a lvl 10 GH and the healer just let me die saying there was no need to heal me...Like I only had 3 buttons and 1 cooldown why no heal?

Jokes on him. Blacklist in this game doesn’t prevent you from getting matched in duty finder.
