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

[Rein_eon_Osborne]

Four (or was it five?) days ago, ran a Copied Factory to help a fellow FC mate.
On the 3rd boss before the first platform was destroyed, somebody said in the alliance chat: "Hey, they added barriers now so that we can't fall anymore, right?"
To our amusement and surprise, apparently somebody DID TRIED to actually jump...to their death.
Half of the raid was like "Omg lmao you're such a troll lololol."

Otherwise it's a pretty good run, we giggled and had some fun in the chats.

Lvl 80 expert roulette as GNB, did big pulls, got paired with this special AST. Only uses Benefic I, Benefic II, Essential Dignity, Lightspeed, Helios, and Raise. THAT'S IT.

No cards, no buffs, no Malefic, no Combust, no Gravity, no Divination, no Draw, no Earthly Star no dps no no no. NO STANCE AT ALL, No Aspected, no nocturnal. *sigh

We did fine somehow even with big pulls, i thought he was doing some sort of a challenge, until he died at the last boss and decided to throw in aspected helios, and aspected benefic TWICE.

I was frustrated, and glad that was over, and i need to vent it here as i rarely post something in the forum.

So I died in Boja. It happens. There was one other rando near me. Tells me doesn't have a rez. Mentor. Meaning didn't want to lose whatever potion buff to switch class to rez. (Character had all healing classes at max). There's a certain sadness to it. Dying but hoping this rando would swtich to healer class to rez, but instead discover people value their buffs over helping someone not lose hours of mettle. I know it's stupid to feel heartbroken over something as silly as this, but i just want to rant a little before going to sleep. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

That's terrible, I would have rez'd you first thing! A potion buff is temporary but kindness is permanent. Some ppl don't desrve Mentor.

[Mhaeric]

Or he didn't know that you can switch classes in there. Most instances you can't.

... What potion buff were they using that kept them from helping you that couldn't be reapplied later? (If it's something in Bozja that I dont know about, forgive me.)

Essences. They are permanent and some can be quite rare and only come from Castrum so someone not switching class could be justify. On the other hand, anyone can also carry around phoenix down, is instant, and farming them is super easy. Of course, you have to farm them, and most players don't do anything but Fates/CE. There are also items that have a 70% to self rez you when you die.

Also, is worth mentioning that by returning one time you don't lose hours of Mettle. A CE of the proper range will recover it (unless you happen to die multiple times in every single one).

Ah okay, I haven't really used any of the Essences. I know about the self rez. Returning you do lose a fair bit though, I'd rather lay there and let someone get me, even if I'm waiting for awhile.

Can you switch jobs anywhere, or only in camp? I forget.

Anywhere. It surprised me when I saw someone do it the first time about 3 days in.
