Tales from Duty Finder: Some make you laugh, some make you cry. Let's vent. 2.0

[BRVV]

Queued for EX roulette, got Lapis Manalis. Loaded into a group with what I would quickly realize was a low tier FFXIV YouTube personality and frequent lore forum poster. The first thing they say to me is that I will be kicked if I take any amount of avoidable damage at all. Normally I'd just leave after reading something that dumb at the start of a dungeon, but I was in a hurry and just wanted it done. So we get to the first boss. What happens? Everybody but me eats a bunch of mechanics and bites it.

I ask if they'd rather I die on purpose, as it will probably take longer if I solo the boss. They say to go ahead and try to kill it, because "Lapis Manalis bosses can't be soloed" and "WAR players are all bad at the game anyway." Easy solo clap, to the surprise of no one with a any amount of neural activity. I get kicked almost immediately afterward, which also shouldn't surprise anyone.

Not exactly worth the amount of wasted time, but it was still pretty funny.

You should report that entitled YTer.

The hell, lmao! I'd have been properly incensed if I was in your position. Sorry for that experience.

I wish it looked like that more often here. Whenever I check, it's mostly tank.

Same over here. Although it rarely insta pop when I tried to queue as one. The moment I swap to healer, 8 out of 10 times they just pop instantly.

[RobynDaBank]

Healing really so boring this expansion that nobody wants to heal? lol

I wish that was my DC. Don't have much reason to do Roulettes anymore aside from money.

[Avatre]

So apparently this week I'm not supposed to run Alliance Roulette. Every time I have queued for it since Tuesday I've gotten one of the CT raids, which are always an instant nope from me since I am sick and tired of getting them. Good thing there is crafting I can do to rebuild my stock of materia for melding.

I've noticed the same. Usually it's tank but if you queue tank you will have to wait. Queue HEALER though and it's instant.

I think the AIN lies.

Same although healer usually insta-queues anyways while tank takes a few minutes. The AIN bonus doesn't usually update fast enough.

Anywayssssssssss...

You have to sometimes wonder why the devs went through so much trouble adding buff icons for things like raises in the party member list. Half my party wipes in an alliance raid. I swift raise my co-healer, start working on slow raising the last party member in the list that wiped. A couple seconds before finishing co-healer swift raises them, ignoring the other dead party members. Was a bit fumed but didn't think anything of it.

Later on co-healer also decided to start yoinking me to my death on the last two bosses later on. I asked in chat, got ignored. Someone else noticed and asked the second time, and they spoke up to deny it and literally no one said anything about it for the rest of the raid. I didn't res them later on in those bosses, and they didn't say anything when I left them dead either, but one of our SMNs/RDMs or someone from another alliance res'd them eventually.

Bothered me enough that I reported it post-raid, but I am taking a bit of pleasure in knowing they probably did it because they were upset that they were eating the dirt after every other mechanic.

I mean I wouldn't know anything about it but I've read there is a mod that highlights someone's name in red if they are being hard raised.

You can also look on the party list and see "Raise [6]". Shouldn't need a mod. People just need to pay more attention.

[Mesarthim]

So apparently I caused a healer in Mt Gulg to raise an eyebrow because I dared to start some trash pulls with hallowed. How dare I give them an opportunity to do damage with an invuln whose only downside is its long cooldown.

They also are probably why the dungeon felt marginally longer because they did not holy very much in trash pulls.





…They also sometimes healed me with Cure 1. I later found out they apparently have done savage?
