Just some friendly advice from a healer

[Annah]

When you do brand new raids that literally no one else has done either, please don't lash out at other players who messed up a mechanic. Take it easy. Relax. And remember, it's a video game...not your finals.

Likewise, if you mess up a mechanic, please don't feel like you failed. We all die from brand new fights and we also learn from those. It's ok.

Just remember, FFXIV is a game that you should enjoy. It's all good! New encounters may have wipes...it happens.

If you're a healer and a dps dies in a brand new instance, please don't call them out. Do your job and resurrect them. Believe me, they feel as bad that they died as you do for resurrecting them.


If someone berates you like this is real life, just ignore them...they probably have some real life issues going on...or they are taking it too seriously.

Play to have fun. Play smart. Remember the mechanics to be better at it next time. It's all good

I was doing the 3rd raid fight, healer lashed out at everyone that died. the content was 12 hours old at the time, I guess we all are supposed to be experts within 12 hours of new content being released.

some players are just Pro at talking shit, and that's their only skill.

This. This to infinity and beyond. I know people who REFUSE to use any roulette 99% of the time unless it's with at LEAST two friends because they might just get a bad group.
If none of my friends, or FC members, wants to run a rou with me, I will queue solo...even as DPS, because I don't mind any group, I can adapt.

Personally I'm the same way. The content isn't difficult. People make it difficult. See video of a FC mate doing POTD.

i'm never going to run potd without fc members again
randos are a plague like why would so spend so much effort to aggro fight me, to where you are always a hit away from it, and then decided when I try to swap with this rando, he decides to stop hitting the boss until I die
spite so hard it caused the entire group a complete failure

Difficaulty is subjective from player to player. your "easy" could be their "savage/extreme".

And also subjective to jobs, a tank might find a fight easier then a healer.

The people who choose to make it difficult are selfish players who always assume their the majority instead of communicating with the group and coming up with a compromise.

Like a healer who will use rescue with our warning to demand large pulls, to dps who keep fighting stuff, that the tank asks them to not attack. Ora healer who picks a dps skill over a heal when the tank is close to death.

Can't wait to get home from work and go through the new stuff. Not sure whether to go as my DRG or RDM though.

Well said, you have the right attitude, anyone would be lucky to have you in their team hopefully more players adopt this style of thinking.

I will hope more have the same attitude, but won't hold my breath with some my recent DF experiences. I know there are good apples and bad apples...but some days it could just take that one bad apple to ruin your whole night of relaxing(though I try to ignore 99% of what people say to me if it's negative, doesn't always work though)
