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

Queued as a MCH for alliance raid roulette: ended up in Ridorana Lighthouse. No biggie. However, by the time we started running to the first boss, my face drained at the telltale sign of server delay.

I didn't die until the last boss, fortunately ("I'LL TEAR YA LIMB FROM LIMB!"), but I made sure to not push my luck once again for the next raid that night. So, I moved on over to Aether.

Luckily, the service was better, and I experienced the fastest run of Rabanastre in my life. I think I know which data server I'm creating my femHrothgar alt on...

Already had that discussion. Remolia enjoys playing as Conjurer, queing in party finder, even on higher levels. You and me might think that's unfair to the people she gets grouped with but ultimately Remolia doesn't see it that way and the game doesn't prohibit it.

Recently had a CC match where we would run 1 after the other into the enemies. Getting killed out of sync. Is there a name for this? At the end the worst player (died 3 times, no kill, no assists) spams "good job". No one talked during the match. Yes we might have had wintraders on our team or just bad timing. I should have written "assemble" or what that chat command is but no one did. So "good job" to you to Mr. Deadweight.

In other PvP games I often see this called being staggered.

I hate partyfinder so much... Everyone goes in, agrees to use the same guide. People proceed not to place themselves in the right spots and argue over it. Multiple people even admitted that they knew their positioning was wrong compared to the vid but at the same time they wanted to argue that it was right? I don't know how it went from having multiple teams doing eternity unsync with one or two wipes the first 8 or so times to one team wiping 20+ times. I just wanted my achievement and I feel like those people have taken years off my life. I could care less about the lack of performance or whatever. People just refuse to listen or take their own advice because of their enormous egos.

Lv90 Dungeon Roulette: Alzadaal's Legacy. Had a SMN offers a gratitude from a simple act of pulling mobs into their puddle. Why wouldn't tanks do that anyway?

You'd be surprised. It's a crapshoot whether a tank will keep enemies in sliptstream or doton or whatever, even in level cap content. The number of times I've had a tank pull mobs OUT of my slip streams (when the pull is done, mind you) isn't that many, but it's enough to feel weird.

While nothing in particular, one of the firsts dungeons I ended up playing after a decent absence was Skalla dungeon with a returning player of 3 months, a sprout tank and a sprout samurai.

I was playing black mage and god, between havig messed up the backup function + re adjust the hud + extremely rusty rotation, it took a while but by the final boss, i managed to get used to.
I felt bad for the healer since it said it overlevelled and kept apologising but the whole session turned out to be a fresh experience which I enjoyed. I kinda missed these moments!

Please tell me you only play with pre-mades for the fun of it, otherwise you're only trolling other players who have to pick up the slack for your lack of a toolkit.

What slack? Whenever anyone asks "What's the most braindead, casual MMO on the market that you can literally faceroll content?" I say "AND it has a generous free trial!"

The thing you responded to was in response to a player queing in as a lv 80 Conjurer...
