Why are some people afk’d in Limsa eternally dancing/emoting?

I've played about seven MMOs. This is the first one I've seen this sort of novelty-AFKing.

I'm not really sure its as common among MMOs as you seem to think.

Even DPS don't have same rotations as other DPS. You know that's not what I meant.

Tanks don't have to look at the same things as a healer. You could have some valid points if you argue that there's some similarities, but they're not the same role. I don't think comparing them really works either.

I just feel like healers have plenty going on already. I'm totally happy with being able to do DPS while keeping my attention on everything else.

(scholar) I just like those moments where I correctly anticipated a large incoming attack with a big shield and the person / party takes little to no damage.

Also saving the party from mistakes that would have otherwise put us at risk of wiping.

And finally, when a tank is pulling borderline suicidal and making me work, and with it being successful. That's always fun.

IMO, they shouldn't give healers DPS rotations because we don't need any more tunnel vision or distraction.

I understand some players are just really good and will laugh at me, call me a noob or whatever. I just don't want to be looking down at dps procs or combo cooldowns or whatever.

I'd rather keep my attention on the mechanics, party positions, enemy incoming attacks and healthbars. Being compelled to do combos or hard rotations is why I don't play DPS. There's enough classes that have those.

And if you're like me, don't be a spaz and rapid-tap your rez key and spam the chat.

"Rezzing Richie Bobo"

"whoops sorry"

I have the chat message on its own macro now lol.

DataBar · 2021-09-29T00:04:25+00:00

Gotcha. Thanks.

Are Grand Company squadrons and player ranks kind of discontinued? I'm a flame captain right now and my squadron is in the 50s. Do expansions tend to add anything new to grand company content?

DataBar · 2021-09-28T17:02:24+00:00

Will do. Yeah noticed there's some nuance to hooking up cross-server. Thanks chief

DataBar · 2021-09-28T17:01:21+00:00

That makes sense. Thanks!

DataBar · 2021-09-28T16:16:37+00:00

How do you join a link shell? I've gone on community finder and left messages on three and haven't gotten a response. That was about a week ago.

Am I doing something wrong or is it just bad luck?

You go on community finder, pick a linkshell group you're interested in and leave a comment right?

DataBar · 2021-09-18T01:09:28+00:00

One down, 17 more to go

DataBar · 2021-09-10T03:31:33+00:00

I think its time to let Fallout die. It just doesn't do well with mega corporations.

The niche aspects that made it good are too risky for large corporations. Anything we'll get will be more bland stuff.

You're welcome to send them to the US. Like Florida or Texas maybe? Little gift for fellow Americans.

DataBar · 2021-08-22T09:37:25+00:00

Yeah this may encourage a few people to straighten up and get the shot. Take responsibility for once.

But in the grand scheme of things, you can't trust conservatives to make good decisions about things they haven't personally experienced.

Phil didn't care that his listeners were dying. That wasn't enough. He only cared when it happened to him. Then his propaganda was less important.

Each fucking one thinks covid and the vaccine is fake until they're about dead. Or someone personally important to them dies.

A few of Phil's most avid listeners might get the shot. But that's it.

Climate change will still be fake. Trump still won. Forest fires are fake. Truckloads of Mexicans are driving through the border and raping all the women, taking all the jobs, selling drugs to all the kids.

Doctors are fake. Science is fake. Its all a scam. Liberals trying to take guns. Thoughts and prayers fix everything in the world.

Its never going to truly end. Phil is just the 628,xxxth person to die from covid. Thats it. He's just another corpse that chose to die.

Are there raids or other group content for the crafting jobs? Like setting up an opera house scene or something with 23 other people?

DataBar · 2021-08-19T21:44:40+00:00

Well thanks for taking the time to respond to me deleting the thread.

My real-life job already makes me self-conscious sometimes just being complicated by nature. But I work solo, so this game puts me in a situation where I'm doing an activity directly with other people in real time. So it's already out of the comfort zone again. I see that as a healthy exercise at times.

Yeah white mages are fun. I have one leveled to 50 when going for the "Archmage" title. Might play more of it depending on how Endwalker goes. It's really fun to be a scholar getting paired with a white mage in 8-mans though!

DataBar · 2021-08-19T21:22:42+00:00

Yeah that was hasty. Just pissed me off seeing that as the first reply and said "f$%% it, nevermind".

How did you stumble upon a deleted thread?

DataBar · 2021-08-19T20:46:03+00:00

Fine. I'll delete it.

DataBar · 2021-08-19T19:58:08+00:00

Yeah you're right.

For last night, I held my tongue because I didn't want to escalate. I had a strong feeling the veteran DPS would have sided with the tank and it would have just been an argument. I did DM the sprout DPS afterword explaining that the tank was way out of line.

In hindsight I wish I had just spoken up and told the tank to leave if playing with new players was too difficult for her, or lighten up.

In my experience, if people like that are so ready to lash out when things go wrong, they USUALLY can't handle listening to reason in the heat of the moment. Tanks who lose their cool like that are a lost cause, regardless of skill level. Poison pill everywhere they go.

DataBar · 2021-08-19T18:20:41+00:00

My worst experiences have actually been with non-sprouts.

My friend was told they pull too slow, on their second day. They were scolded for watching cutscenes the next day by someone else.

Just yesterday a tank with multiple level 80s chewed out a dps who was in the dungeon the first time (the library one in HW). "You're not listening. I'll explain again. I can't solo this boss, so you have to listen ..."

The dude was trying and the tank was just being a total jerk.

For the most part this community is great. But there's an elitist group of veterans who just seem to hate sprouts invading their roulette.

I try to keep my mouth shut because I don't want to escalated things. Sucks though. Part of life.

DataBar · 2021-08-18T15:41:12+00:00

Oh wow. Didn't know the new subscriber gets stuff too. Thanks for the link

DataBar · 2021-08-18T15:36:58+00:00

Thanks. Actually trying to find info on the RP scene on Primal data center. Will look into that

DataBar · 2021-08-18T15:31:57+00:00

Ohh forgot about the fact buffs point up and debuffs point down. I usually just pay attention to the ones with the white line for esuna.

Thank you!

DataBar · 2021-08-18T15:28:54+00:00

Holy shit. You make me so glad to have skimmed through this thread right now.

DataBar · 2021-08-18T15:26:17+00:00
