Fun times.
Join Aurum Vale group. Hilarity inside:
[9:18 p.m.](Genesis <DRG>) brb sorry
[9:23 p.m.](Bunbun <SCH>) full clear?
[9:23 p.m.](Bunbun <SCH>) i need xp
[9:23 p.m.](Genesis <DRG>) im down with doing a full clear
[9:24 p.m.](Genesis <DRG>) no full clear?
The PLD(Fulgara) ignores them and moves onto the first boss.
[9:24 p.m.](Genesis <DRG>) what a ***
[9:24 p.m.](Genesis <DRG>) at least speak
[9:24 p.m.](Bunbun <SCH>) ^
Boss is pulled and we are fighting it.
[9:24 p.m.](Fulgara <PLD>) you need to relax, sir
[9:25 p.m.](Genesis <DRG>) he spoke
[9:25 p.m.](Genesis <DRG>) ...and he
[9:25 p.m.](Genesis <DRG>) is still an ***
DRG steals my fruit I start running to the next one but die because the SCH is typing and using Selene.
[9:25 p.m.](Fulgara <PLD>) I'm not the one calling people names.
[9:26 p.m.](Bunbun <SCH>) you're the one that ignored me
[9:26 p.m.](Bunbun <SCH>) and him
[9:26 p.m.](Fulgara <PLD>) I'm not sure why that requires you name-calling.
[9:26 p.m.](Bunbun <SCH>) he wasnt wrong
[9:26 p.m.](Fulgara <PLD>) That's fine.
[9:28 p.m.](Genesis <DRG>) let them sprout
[9:28 p.m.](Fulgara <PLD>) that's fine
[9:28 p.m.](Genesis <DRG>) wasnt asking for your opinion
[9:28 p.m.](Genesis <DRG>) or consent
[9:29 p.m.](Fulgara <PLD>) Wow.
Still pissed at the taking of my fruit this pushes me over and I decide to make it even for his rudeness.
[9:29 p.m.](Isack Eron) I'm gonna kill them all now.
[9:29 p.m.](Bunbun <SCH>) wtf Isack?
[9:29 p.m.](Genesis <DRG>) are you his ***?
[9:30 p.m.](Isack Eron) You take my fruit and kill me on the boss and now you are being bitchy when the PLD tries to give the middle ground
[9:30 p.m.](Fulgara <PLD>) I'm not sure why you need to be so angry about this.
[9:30 p.m.](Fulgara <PLD>) It's a quick run and a good group.
[9:30 p.m.](Fulgara <PLD>) Lets just get the dungeon done.
[9:30 p.m.](Bunbun <SCH>) i need xp!
I have been kicked from the group >_> .... Re-queue .... oh look Aurum Vale in progress 1/3!
[9:32 p.m.](Isack Eron) lmao
[9:32 p.m.](Genesis <DRG>) are you chill now?
[9:32 p.m.](Isack Eron) nope lol
[9:32 p.m.](Genesis <DRG>) i dont care lol there's nothing funny about this
[9:32 p.m.](Genesis <DRG>) xD
[9:32 p.m.](Genesis <DRG>) lmao for you
[9:32 p.m.](Isack Eron) and you guys are out of kicks now
Apparently the PLD left too.....
[9:32 p.m.](Fulgara <PLD>) ...
[9:32 p.m.](Genesis <DRG>) and?
[9:32 p.m.](Fulgara <PLD>) LOL
[9:32 p.m.](Isack Eron) wb lol
[9:32 p.m.](Genesis <DRG>) we'll just requeue
[9:32 p.m.](Fulgara <PLD>) Then leave.
[9:32 p.m.](Genesis <DRG>) kick us
[9:32 p.m.](Genesis <DRG>) we dont give a ***
We kick the DRG and the SCH leaves right after.
[9:33 p.m.](Fulgara <PLD>) Have no idea why it needed to be this way.
[9:33 p.m.](Isack Eron) me either
[9:33 p.m.](Fulgara <PLD>) never seen anyone go from 0 to 100 like that
[9:34 p.m.](Isack Eron) You tried to even meet them 1/2 way with the eggs
We then get 2 Lv50 people who are also there for their Zodiac items. So we continue and clear the place easily.
I make sure to kill EVERY morbol egg along the way.
We kill the boss and I get the Morbol Card. Sweet. Everyone says good job and and Good luck on the Zodiac item. I click the exit and leave. I hear that item get sound and I get the pop up. Vale Bubo.
Aurum Vale 1/1

Aurum Vale is a large part of why I don't feel like finishing my relic quest. Blah.
By Bloodrose 2015-03-14 21:43:01
I'm not sure if that's funny, or just sad and pathetic on the part of the drg and sch.
By Bloodrose 2015-03-14 21:44:25
It's the low level dungeons, (and subsequently the low quality 'high tier') players that make me not want to finish my Yoshimitsu books

Meh It was the first bad group I've gotten so far on my Zodiac items. 1 bad in 29 runs I think is ok.

This morning I did the remaining HM dungeons I needed to unlock Roulette Hard, Brayflox, Copperbell, Haukke, Halatali. In doing these I build up Soldiery to get my next book, I look at dungeons...
Sastasha (Normal), Aurum Vale, Halatali (Hard). U wot m8? I didn't really mind Halatali HM, it was just the fact that I had literally JUST ran it to get the book so I could run it for the book. >.>
EDIT: Also, I always get Keeper of The Lake in EX Roulette, usually with people who get to the last boss and suddenly forget how to dodge ***. If I out dodge you, something is horribly wrong.

I don't think I remember having a bad group specifically for my sphairai, but that's probably because I've seen some truly terrible people in the CT series of dungeons lately.
I'm sure some were pretty bad, but hard to top a whm auto-running into ever boss fight, or a tank pulling the Bone Dragon all the way to the very back *and* pulling 3-4 Platinals with him, then wondering why the entire alliance wiped.

Zepher Link in LS/FC was kicked like 6-7 times and kept rejoining the same Labyrinth run, it was so god damn funny

I love the Keeper of the Lake/Agrius dungeon, but what annoys me most, is in the last stretch between second, and last boss, is that suddenly people who've run it dozens of times, forget to make use of the Magitech Flyer, which can bombard large groups of enemies for about 1500 damage each.

Eh, I see the occasional derp who forgets how to dodge on the last boss, but more often than not, I see new people who aren't familiar with the dungeon mechanics and boss AI yet, so I can give most of them a free pass. But only 1 free pass.
I've seen a ninja get the boot before because he couldn't dodge ***the entire dungeon, and caused a wipe on the last boss twice. Needless to say, we got a better DD and put Midgardsormr in his place.

I'll admit, I'm terrible at remembering enemy attack patterns but I learned to dodge his attacks the first time I tried. It really isn't that hard, it's just that EVERYONE needs to be able to do it. The issue comes when someone dies. If you're going to die once, you're likely to die again when invulnerability wears off and on the second death I won't have Swiftcast. It's a Light Party dungeon and we need those two DPS and we need them to know to kill the bird and activate the shield. >.>

I think the whole dodging thing was the most tedious part of FFXIV. I wish the game had more strategy like in FFXI.

And from normal enemies.
It was just horrific how a 110+ player could be so bad. At everything. Warrior didn't even bother asking for Goad because the ninja would be dead when he needed it.

Nothing like stunlocking the boss so he can't do ***or just zerging him down so fast that only gets a few moves off

I did that one for the first time earlier this week and I found it really hard to die at all. /shrug

It's better than cycling through a list of moves over and over again while avoiding red spots on the ground.

I'd rather have the dodge stuff. I remember in XI, PLD would hold a mob, take all the attacks, BLM or DRK would stun the AoEs, DPS sat, mashing macros. In XIV, a PLD or WAR (because WAR was done right this time) can hold a mob but you still have to dodge stuff. It keeps you on your toes.
I miss EXP parties though.

I miss EXP parties though. I missed exp parties too. I went back to FFXI and there are none anymore. It's mostly just soloing, multi-boxing, or leeching off soloing players.

In 14 you have to do certain mechanics right or you die, in 11 you just stun most things and zerg it
Not to mention you can recover by kiting and raising if necessary, in 14 you're pretty *** so you have to pay attention (depending on the fight of course)

This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
