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

I cannot make this shit up. Queued for one of the post-MSQ level 100 dungeon last night (the Nightmare Before Christmas dungeon). Entire party but me dies at roughly 63 percent at the final boss to the mechanic where you have to switch from being a spirit to living, and vice versa. I was the only person who did the mechanic correct, which is hilarious, because it was my first time, and solo'd the rest of the fight as Paladin for the past twenty minutes, while my party stood watching outside the barrier, and beat the boss. I don't think they were amused by it though, because after getting out of the cutscene and exiting the dungeon, not a single comm, lol.

To be completely fair, as impressive as your feat was, it was also wasting the rest of the party's time. You might have gotten more appreciation if you had simply reset the boss. I would have been less annoyed than most because, again, that sort of thing is impressive, but I still would have been annoyed at the wasted time.

That's completely fair and true. To be honest, I hadn't expected to stay alive the entire time, but the boss mechanics weren't tricky to figure out, and the tankbuster/line AoE didn't hit me hard enough to outright kill me. And there was no death wall, much to my consternation.

Had my first time ever run of Worqor Lar Dor trial, as a dancer.
I died 2 times, nobody else died.
I got all 7 commendations at the end of the trial.

WHAT??

It has mechanics in it that have nothing to do with the casual player. I don't use my chat. don't even look at it. As a DPS I pull my Limit Breaks as soon as they pop. Everyone started yelling at me. NOT COOL!!! Put this somewhere else. NOT in the MSQ. Not everyone wants to research how every battle is going to go before the battle. Now I got people on my case. NOT COOL. GET IT OUT OF THERE!!

I was just in The Strayborough Deadwalk as a PCT. And it was me. I was the bad player. That dungeon required a bit too much thought after work, and the deaths were numerous. To whomever gave me that pity commendation at the end, bless your heart. I did not deserve it.

Small vent today.

I've been taking a break from healing because the excitement of the role falls off pretty hard once people know the content. But man...healers in roulettes really make me want to pick it up again. Not because it looks more fun, but because i've just been having some baaad healers and it's making the game actively not fun.

Today even i just died several times in different things due to just not being healed ever after unavoidable damage. Or even when i took one vuln stack on something, just not being healed up in the 10 seconds before the big unavoidable damage. Very frustrating, because to me, healing was the baby mode easy role in this game and just watching them stand there and do nothing drives me up a wall.

I had a WHM earlier just casting medica and cure 2 sometimes... in a level 100 dungeon. Not even glare spamming, just staring at the boss.

[Somnolence]

Getting Eden's Verse: Furor in Raid roulette is always a ride. Nobody does mechs so up to 30 deaths is typical.

[VictorSpoils]

First DPS game in ages...whole team wiped twice including right at the end

Pushing this back up because it got lost in the pile of really stupid posts (and some that are good).

Had a run of Mandy recently that I genuinely think the Dancer just had a beef with literally anyone who asked if they needed help. Their gear was abysmal, they decided to dance partner the other dancer instead of myself (was on RDM) and then got mad at the healer who pointed it out and even jokingly asked if they could have partner if they weren't gonna put it on me, and then pretty much died to every mechanic. I stopped rezzing them and one of the other healers did as well, and then they started complaining when we either asked if they needed help or pointed out a mechanic. I genuinely hope you feel better soon.

(On the dance partner thing I wasn't mad that I didn't get it, just weird that someone asked for it instead and the dancer just got mad)
