Entertaining/funny macros to use in dungeons

[Asari5]

a living dead macro might pop up teice in a dungeon, thats alright. for new players though its mostly too stressful to read it in the middle of the pull. and even if they do they first have to comprehend that while doing everything else including healing. its good for players who know about living dead but barely for sprouts.

and for the bubble... just make a macro you can use when people actually avoid the bubble... but let me guess, button bloat?

No bloat at all, I have Asylum on my bar twice. Both macro'd with <t> and a <wait.1> before a second /ac asylum <t> for ease of use on controller, which allows me to also weave it. One with text and one without. Still, it only gets used 3-5 times in a 15 minute-ish run. That one line of text , if I used the one with text every time (I don't) would likely be buried under fc chat, or linkshells, or system messages, etc. anyway.

Well 1313, account created in April 2024, and 19 posts, I would be cautious about trying to make macros to have fun in group content with strangers. Everyone has a different idea of what is fun and enjoyable. Some, for reasons that elude me, enjoy talking using Twitch.tv memes and sayings. Some, like myself, enjoy old memes and absurdist humour.

If you want to be funny and make the dungeon run more enjoyable, then let that come out in your chat/character/glamour. Be fun

What is a twitch meme? I live under a rock.

I did used to have a macro in another game where I played healer that basically said "Rezzing "player name"

The other healers like it because it let them know I had it and not to waste time duplicating effort.

So I can see the use of some macros but yeah the ones tied to most skill I just want scream after the 3rd time

This, I think it's useful for Summoners and Red Mages to have chat rezzing macros as it lets the healer know that they have got that person. If I have a swift ready to go I wanna let that healer know that I can rez.

If you really, really wanna use chat macros in content, please for the love of God, make them useful

Instead of something cringy, try a macro that pairs with a high impact skill that'd be better if others knew it was going off. Say a raise macro to prevent the other healer wasting MP, or a Living Dead or Superbolide macro to let the healer(s) know you need healing ASAP.

I use a Living Dead macro to make sure I don't die when I use it, though I think it was changed to prevent that in EW? Idk, why would I play DRK when WAR is a thing!

(Living Dead) (Just used it) (Heal!)

Or, for a raise one:

(Raise) On Party Member

This is the acceptable way to use macros.

Anything else is a sure fire way to annoy people or get bullied in shout/alliance for being cringe.

Yeah, I mentioned the use of an LD macro in here already. So , that's useful and welcomed, very good to use that type of macro. So now, lets just add like 5 words, with some flavor and comedy to get the point across while getting a chuckle out of it.
The forum community: enraged.
Me: laughing cuz they dunno what they're on about.

or even the silly ascii arts in alliance chat can be useful and funny. Like this one:
/a (You) (Comet/Ice) (RAWR!)
/a / / /
/a / / _,,,
/a / / /> . . >
/a / __ \ ; ;
/a \o/ / \ c=/ \=3
/a || | | __| ) )
/a /\ \__/ {/"\_3\_3
/a EASILY DODGEABLE MECHANIC <se.7>

Some random from the forum:
BUT WAIT IVE PLAYED THIS GAME FOR 6 MONTHS AND IM A PRO NOW SO I KNOW MY ISH AND THOSE STUPID MACROS PISS ME TF OFF BUT 5.5 MONTHS AGO I CAUSED A WIPE CUZ I DIDNT KNOW WHAT THE MECHS WERE
So someone got cranky, now educational and funny macros are somehow bad LMAO get a grip, loosen up folks. Y'all know that most people in those raid don't have a clue about how to do things, and it stays that way for a long time because everyone would rather use grief tactics than educate their peers. Honestly, the more people here to try to talk like "OP you dumb, OP you annoying, OP you don't know jack" ... just makes me want to make more and more macros to educate people on all the things that commonly get messed up on a daily basis. Since you won't educate your fellow gamers, and get REAL UPTIGHT at the thought of someone doing it, I WILL DO IT. Take the stick outta your backside, please.
