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

I don't know either only that the people in my party were talking about how it's a thing and people should drink it. I'm...not sure if it's even viable myself.

Well I finally have another addition, this time from Delubrum Reginae.

I ran it twice today through two different groups in party finder. The first went off without a hitch although our ninja did have a weird LB macro with sound effects about how he was stabbing the enemies with his great ninja powers. The second though, hoo boy.

We go in and the tank is doing a ready check before the bosses along with a countdown. The other healer in the group clicks no but then says to go ahead and pull. Queue drama.

Imagine an entire run filled with this tank constantly complaining about his/her ready check and eventually claiming that their day was ruined. I will be so glad when I am done in this place. Eight more runs to go until I never have to see it again.

Yesterday during MSQ rou in Meri I learned that pilk (pepsi and milk) is a thing while on my alt.

Never change MSQ roulette, never change.

Sounds a bit like a spider. Ice-cream in Pepsi/Coke.

What was more strange was that it was just straight milk and pepsi mixed together they were talking about. Someone also made mention that 2% milk was BiS, and another was talking about what I assumed was some sort of pasty.

Oh, and they said if you drink skim milk you're cursed.

I have been reminded that the only way to get out of Hades's chains during the ATE is to button mash. He does not recognize safe words.

Used up all my DF luck leveling WHM in a fantastic Babil run.
Leveled NIN and wiped 7 times in Dzemael.... before even reaching the 2nd boss. I think in all my Dzemael runs, including those messy full sprout nobody knows what they're doing ARR runs, I've never wiped 7 times before even reaching the 2nd boss.
The tank was terrible at keeping aggro, mobs frequently turned around to one of the dps and if there was a ranged mob, the healer was now also a tank. Mitigation was nearly non-existent and they had absolutely no rhythm in their pulls. Sometimes they'd pull single, sometimes they just sprinted off while everyone was still behind after a wipe and wall-to-wall pulled. Sometimes they decided mid-pull that inviting more friends is a good idea, sometimes they just moved the whole group without pulling the next one for "reasons".
Unfortunately, the healer wasn't much better.
When the tank inevitably died and everything turned around to hit me instead, I instantly hit Arm's Lengths, Shadeshift, Bloodbath and kept Second Wind and my pots ready -- while the healer wiggled a bit and then hard-ressed the tank. I died, the mobs split between healer and the other dps, both died during ress animation of the tank, tank stood up, died again, we wiped. Rinse and repeat 6 times.
I'll never get how so many healers think it's a brilliant idea to hard-ress a tank while the dps currently tanking would easily survive with a few heals to finish the pull.

From last night: P3N via roulette as a SCH with my SCH friend.

Almost 20m was spent to kill the birb because 4 DPSes and 1 tank kept collecting vuln stacks. Possibly the longest P3N that I ever did… had a few close calls but we never actually wiped.

Why did we signed up for this carnage…

We go in and the tank is doing a ready check before the bosses along with a countdown. The other healer in the group clicks no but then says to go ahead and pull. Queue drama.

People just keep finding reasons to be upset eh?

Just got out of a queue for Frontlines in which I was part of Malestrom. We lost horribly but the entire alliance spent the time making cowboy jokes and puns. Everyone seemed to be having a blast and I was laughing my ass off the whole time.

Almost 20 minute Antitower for the friends. Why are we here... just to suffer?

Antitower horror stories are becoming increasingly more of the common over here and this causes worrying. What is even happening anymore with the player base? It is Antitower, I always tell the friends when they make it there they will have nice relaxing run. Because it is fricken simple dungeon! Mah!

Nearly wiping to Ziggy, dying on the first frog boss. Did not know you could actually experience demise there.

Another Sunday night drinking with the 'guuuurls'. 'Day' the late hours of the night a few friends stayed the night and we figured we would do a few alliance raid roulettes just queuing up to get back in the swing of playing after a small break. Literally every run all different people had one alliance full of people who apparently had been drinking, but I do not think the alcohol had anything to do with this. I am sure the all level 90s whm casting only holy in single target does this all of the time. It just blows my mind. I know they are just roulettes, but if you are going to troll and wipe the raid on purpose and confuse sprouts with long messages of the wrong things to do during their first time in crystal tower please evaluate your life. I know it can be funny to troll for those doing the trolling, but if you are going to be disrespectful do it with 24 other people who are in on the joke. It shouldn't be hard just invite the rest of your fraternity.
