Your post.
Just did some attempts at A11 for a spring with my friend. Was cycling between DRK and WAR for some variety between runs. On one of my WAR attempts the other tank is a PLD in my FC who not only has the WAR MT, but tells the 3 melee DPS to run away from the boss during GA-100 so he can keep doing DPS as PLD.
I've only had bad groups of people bad at the game. Never run into a socially bad group.
Then again any DF roulette content is usually run with my FC.

I've been kicked for saying "1% alive is 100% not dead."
Just laughed and re-queued.
I blame WoW for encouraging the behavior of constantly spamming heal
I've gotten completely shit on before for not even bothering to start healing until the tank is at half health
Pro tip faggot, you're gonna be just fine, now calm the fuck down while I stack all three aeros on the boss
While I'm at it you have no idea how much it pisses me off when I don't see other WHM or SCH stack their damage over time shit on bosses, or just do the strongest one, motherfucker that is damage you are just leaving on the table
And I DID esuna your pacification you fucking bitch now get back in there
I had this low level arcanist using their physiq on the tank. At first I was thinking they were just doing it while DoTs were ticking. I figured, great I can contribute my 140 stones in cleric stance 100% of the time.
Nope, they were just healing. No DoTs. I tell them to at least apply DoTs if they wanna heal and they go, 'I would but someone doesn't want to do their job'.
Meanwhile the tank never even went below 50%. I told them, it's fine my cures heal the tank for MORE than 50% of their total hp, but they were adamant that a tank should never ever fall below 80%.
They were also planning on becoming a scholar, so GG for any future groups for that guy.

user to be honest I think the potatoes are cute as fuck and I played one for about a year before giving up and becoming an Au Ra because of pic related, but yeah RPers are cringe as fuck. I have a bad habit of /petting every Lalafell I see because they're just so goddamn cute and huggable.
My goddamn condolences
I honestly hate doing anything but healing because I become that exact person I bitched about that screams at healers for being fucking retards, but god fucking dammit you have Cleric Stance for a reason so FUCKING USE IT
I only forgive you if it's Extreme/Savage where you don't have a chance and NEED to focus on healing
To be fair when Nidhogg was brand new, tanks were kinda squishy. In a manner of seconds they could go from 100% to 20%, at least in my experience. Even a regen wasn't enough to hold them for more than a few seconds.
Also as an aside... if you weren't clearing the add phase you had way more problems than healers not doing DPS.
I ain't got nothing against potatoes, those particular three though are an exception.
One of my other server chars is a potato who has the sternest fucking look imaginable and it's just hilarious watching him tank things.
>What autism have you guys encountered ?
Balmung.
FF14 is the first MMO I've ever played, and I used to think that the beta neckbeards swarming females was just a joke, but holy fucking christ

Jenova by the way
Funny I've been on Balmung for 2 years and never experienced any of that.
I mean, you kinda sound like a faggot yourself with your petting autism. Are you sure you're not attracting this sort of behavior?
I pet the lalafells that are in my party when I do a dungeon, and I occasionally pet the super cute ones I see in the wild
I'm not a crazy serial toucher, user

>playing opening vanilla WoW
>no poorfags or children
>most everyone playing did so because they played WCIII
no MMO will have a better player base again
That certainly hyped me up.
If we're not limiting it to FFXIV...
On Champions Online, you'd see plenty of stupid shit when people roleplayed. Like, people who have nigh-galactic level powers hanging out in a bar like they have nothing better to do.
A fucking guy who played as a -living star- who could -destroy the entire solar system in a heartbeat- was giving some fuckers a sample of their home-made brownies. What the flying fuck.
Considering I would never do that at all I think you are a faggot etc.
wow what a fucking loser, seriously.
I bet those retards had FC members or friends there, I've seen so much retardation like that.
What I can't fucking stand in MMO's are the fucking 'couples' that every 10 fucking seconds say hey babe, or I love you, or fucking stupid shit like that.
That's a step further than the fucking losers spamming emotes while dressed like fags
>never experienced any of that
The Quicksand and other taverns across the game on Balmung are well known in and out of server as a playground/cesspit for ERP. Not to mention all the bullshit in the Party Finder and running across people from Balmung in the Duty Finder, who ERP mid-dungeon/raid.
If you've been on Balmung and haven't seen ANY ERP, then you're either blind, lying or never do anything outside of instances (and even then gotten lucky). The /vg/ XIV general is mostly on Balmug. Their faggotry is so blinding you could see it from space.

That was my foray into the weirdos.
Pic is proof.
There's something about the Aether data center which just acts as an autism beacon. Probably because Balmung in there, and faggots who can't get into Balmung due to the pool being closed instead decide to infest other servers on the same cluster.
Not I can talk. I'm on the Chaos data center, which has the biggest faggots of them all: the French.

Might not have been A9, it was the final Gidas.. or gideon or w/e the fuck that shit is called, the fight with 5 phases and for 3 the giant mech thing splits into smaller robots
You meet extra retarded people in MMO's that are on consoles, I swear.
Wow was mostly adults/college attendees in classic, and teenagers. Took about 3 months before others started coming in because it was skyrocketing in popularity. Those people were fine though.
>What autism have you guys encountered ?
Most tanks.
I appreciate a good tank. The vast majority of tanks in XIV are not good tanks.
Not that most DPS or Healers are much better, but fuck me are shit tanks especially braindead. To the point where SLIGHTLY moving the boss to a more convenient location for the 1-2 melee DPS in a fight (final boss in Gubal HM, as a common example) so they can still DPS and handle mechanics is apparently TOO much of an ordeal for 99% of tanks.
It's sad hopping on a tank job and being showered in commendations for slightly moving enemies so that, hey, everyone can kill the stupid things quicker and we can all fucking leave.
And then you get the level 60, fully up-to-date relic and i260-70 gear tanks who can't hold hate on trash mobs and make the boss spin like a dreidel in a tornado, who all deserve to be sodomized by a chainsaw.

At least the tank could control the boss pretty well.
>Healer does regen on him either because he's annoyed or he's just as bad
Why the fuck would anyone not use Regen? Unless you mean between pulls, in which case the tank is bad as well for not simply removing it.

where's a good place to buy eu time card/codes? Normally go to ozgameshop, but no stock. Other places I look at want my phone number and to charge fees on top making it cost $5+ more. Fuck that.
>based fucking Nero is back
You can see the feet of the Primal in the cinematic.
Speculation time?
I hope we don't have to wait until part 2 for this
I miss the earlier MMO days where I could just run a dungeon and be pleasantly surprised by the mechanics. Theorycrafting in new end-game dungeons/raids and such was a cool experience but, now I just watch videos done by some guy(s) playing a PTR or something and learn everything there. There's hardly any challenge to dungeons in MMOs because of this...that and pandering-to-casual bullshit that most MMOs do now.
I only enjoy playing newish MMOs because nobody knows what the hell is going on and nobody expects anyone to watch an hour and a half worth of vids on how to deal with 3 mechanics for the first boss of a 15 boss raid.
Like with other games, I don't want to use a walkthrough for every fucking thing but, MMO communities force you to do so or you get booted from your group, FC, guild, circlejerk, whatever.
Shit's whack.
It's Pikachu!
no seriously it's Rhalgr
This. Most of my fun while progressing through FFXIV was doing content blind. Doing things on patch days is always a blast because you never know what to expect.
Cool story, bro
>I don't want to use a walkthrough for every fucking thing but, MMO communities force you to do so or you get booted from your group, FC, guild, circlejerk, whatever.
Yeah, it's pretty shit.
That's why the key to enjoying a MMO is playing with friends so you can fill a group and never worry about that sort of shit. Doesn't work for friendless fags like me
>watch trailer
>same boring shit that you will do in a day
>half the patch is delayed by 2 months
>"p-p-please stay s-s-subbed"
>no raid content for over a year
welp its time to unsub until expansion lads.
I've never understood this sentiment, nor accepted it as any sort of valid complaint.
If the fight is still still new, then I can maybe see justifying not watching a guide and trying to experience it for yourself. Maybe.
But there comes a point where content becomes so old that you'll just have to swallow your pride and at least get a basic understanding of what you need to do.
It's not about you, the one player who is clueless and will cause a wipe. It's about the 7 other people who have seen the fight dozens if not hundreds of times and just want a smooth clear so they can move on with their day.
Holding back a group because you don't want to spoil the fight just smacks of a "me" mentality.
I'm stealing that.
Or you know , playing games not watching them.
roundabout.mp3
You still get to play the vidya though.
If you don't want to be considerate and polite to the strangers you're paired up with, then why even play an MMO? They aren't bots in your party for the sake of convenience. They are people, just like you.
Go play a single player RPG like WoW if you're simply in it for yourself.
I'm not talking about content that has been around for eons, I'm referring to newer content as well as "New to the group" content. Back on WoW, whenever the guild raiders (any guild) would reach a comfortable enough level to raid the next tier of stuff, it seemed like a huge cop out to just look up a video and then we go do exactly what the people on the video do and hope it works. It's a boring way to play - the boss has been simplified for us, the mechanics are all laid out to bare, and any wiping that happens, happened because we expected things to go exactly as they did in the video despite the fact the group make up was different, the enemy positioning and the players were also different.
This isn't about holding the group back, this is about enjoying the game. There just isn't any fun in always reading a guide for everything. Everyone just seems to want to win without effort - no sport, no practice, no challenge, just instant gratification. I want to win but, I don't want to win that way.
Oh no how dare someone try to also experience something new to them the way it was meant to be.
Or so you think only youtubers are entitled to that?
You could get a group of friends or other new people and try to experience that content for the first time fresh. The game doesn't take that possibility away from you. But you know, that takes effort, instead of just expecting other 7 people to conform to your needs.
>constantly get 24 man raids and savage alexander or extreme primals
>over a year
Are you just retarded?
Nigga please. Just because you expect people to religiously know a game inside and out before attempting to do anything doesn't mean they have to. If someone says they didn't watch the guide and that makes you uncomfortable, YOU leave.
I guess it just boils down to the company you're in.
If you have friends who share the same interests and are unfamiliar and / or willing to let you learn the fight blind, then that's great. There are probably like-minded people who wouldn't mind.
However, expecting strangers to cater to that sort of demand is just unreasonable. Time is more valuable than anything else, both inside the game and outside.
You're just an insignificant speck in the grand scheme of things. If you have friends who share similar interests, then go play with them.
Otherwise, fuck off. Complete strangers are not obligated to cater to you.
There's a difference between "I didn't watch a guide" and not saying anything, wiping to the encounter and then saying "First time here"
Break the silence and just fucking ask "What am I suppose to do here?" because not everyone wants to assume that everyone knows what's going to happen, rely on that, then watch the group wipe.
>ME ME ME CATER TO ME
>CATERING TO YOU? NO, IT'S ME
Holy shit do you even hear yourself
but you are asking everyone else to cater to you.
>I'M A HUGE FAGGOT, PLEASE RAPE MY FACE
I hear you loud and clear, little buddy.
>It's about the 7 other people who have seen the fight dozens if not hundreds of times and just want a smooth clear so they can move on with their day.
Why are they such mindless zombies that they want to play the same thing over and over and over and over?
This type of MMO is cancer
Because they like the game.
Not an argument.
I liked the game too
Until I got to the endgame which is full of tryhard 'le epic hardcore gaymer xDxD'
>Why are MMOs repetitive?
Allow me to answer your great question with an even more excellent question.
Where'd you pick up that extra chromosome?
>Playing Favela
>They insist on breaching from rooftops every single time
>Win the first two attacks then get steamrolled to 5-3
I need a mic.
Yes because wasting 7 other peoples fucking time because you are too damn autistic to speak up to begin with is someone else making you cater to them not vice versa
