How Do You Usually Greet People in DF/PF?

[Kacho_Nacho]

I /examineself to check over what I've been synced to.
Sometimes /lookout to figure out where I am.
/breathcontrol to focus until the barrier drops.
/bstance if there's any pause before everyone starts dashing off.
Maybe /vpose if the pause starts getting awkwardly long.

/breathcontrol? I don't know/have that one. What does it look like when your character does the emote?

Back on topic. I say "hello everyone!"

**edit**

After reading the responses, I want to start using "Hi! I'm your healer for this run. Let's do it!" in the auto translate. How would I do this in a macro? (I'm a slow typer)

よろしく

Even if the party is all E, I usually end up using the Japanese out of habit (lived in JP for 10 years now). If i happen to notice it's all English, I might say "{Hello!} But most players on Japanese servers are used to Japanese greetings.

standard: o/
standard with a good mood: yo!
happy standard: \o/
bored: hi
bored but not too much: hi! (alternative: hi^)
not a good day: multiple Peloton activations
enter Dun Scaith: Oo

[Gula]

I say nothing.

Not a greeting, but if I'm stuck on the pad in LotA as melee I just do /pushups.

Never have, never will, and it will never be a problem.

Something like this maybe.

/p {Hello!} {healer} {Ready!} {Let's do it!}

Note: You can use auto-translate itself right in your macro. Start typing and hit tab just like normal. This is very useful for skill names too, so you don't have to worry about spelling beyond the first couple of letters. Make sure to include /p at the start of the line too, or it will just go to whichever chat you have set as your active one at the moment which probably isn't your party chat.

If someone else says something, I scramble to get into the right chat mode (party), then begin to type, but have to clear it and catch up with everyone because they've moved on.

I don't say anything. I have 588 days of playtime and have done over 5,000 raids and trials with who knows how many regular dungeon runs. I genuinely cannot be bothered anymore.

I've actually had people threaten to kick me for not greeting them later on in the dungeon, too. I'm almost always the highest DPS (when on DPS) in the party and play every job and role very well, so it was pretty bizarre when it happened with nothing going wrong. Some people seem to think something is wrong with a person that doesn't say hello at the start.
