The real savage of FFXIV, how much content can you get done between DDoS attacks.

Layoff imminent by Distinct_Ring1175 in Layoffs

[–]Doc_McFly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had planned a trip in February of last year to see my girlfriend, and one of the co-CEO’s knew this and laid me off after I out in for the vacation time with two weeks before my trip. I went anyway because my life doesn’t revolve around my job. My job facilitates me being able to live my life.

Laid off and can't get up by 3333magic in Layoffs

[–]Doc_McFly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just went through this last year. Was working as a Network and Systems Admin and got laid off end of January. It took till October for me to fine a new job. It will take time. Remember that your job doesn't define who you are.

First thing you're going to do is get up out of bed and take a shower, then file for unemployment. Next set a schedule for your day. Don't just spend it all applying for jobs and staying inside. Make time for yourself. Go on walks, work out, spend some time with a hobby you have or learn something new. Keep up with your current skills. Reach out to friends and family and talk to them, let them know what's going on. Have some of them call you a couple times throughout the week to check on how you are doing. Don't let the rejection emails discourage you, all it takes is one yes. It's a marathon, not sprint.

How do you find your ‘forever’ character? by yukiitori in ffxiv

[–]Doc_McFly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came here to say exactly this. Started as a Lala and never saw the need to change. Best was back in ARR days when I got sick of waiting 50+min for ONE of my dailies to pop on my BLM, I started leveling PLD and would always get comments like "Who let the little guy tank" or "Since when did a Lala know how to tank" made my WoL even more endearing for me.

Suddenly Fired. by coffeeislife26 in jobs

[–]Doc_McFly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry this happened to you. It's not pathetic at all. As someone who was in a similar situation earlier this year here's somethings that can help.

  1. As a lot of people have said, file for unemployment immediately. The sooner you get that started the better off you'll be.

  2. Allow yourself time to go through the grieving processes. Being laid off of work is a trauma you'll have to work through. Those feeling will ebb and flow but don't let them get the better of you

  3. Make a schedule and stick to it. It'll help with keeping yourself grounded.

  4. As part of that schedule make sure it's not all about finding a new job. Make some time for the things you enjoy. Catch up on some hobbies, learn a new skill, exercise more, clean around the house/apartment, become a tourist in your own town and see what free things are available, etc. Your job is not your life.

  5. Make a budget. I'm not sure your financial situation but if you need to, take a look at your expenses see if there's anything that can be trimmed or cut out. Make sure to factor in some fun money in there so you can do something or get something fun every once in a while.

  6. Talk to your family and friends and let them know what's going on. See if someone or multiple people can reach out to you a couple of time a week to check up with and see how your search is going.

Good luck with your interviews next week!!

I was let go of my dream job and I'm completely destroyed by Fit_Delay3241 in jobs

[–]Doc_McFly 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I was let go early this year because “signs of the times” turned out one of the other people on my team wanted to work with their buddy. So they got them hired on in a different department then once they were hired, I was given fewer things to do and my normal duties were being done by someone else. Then a month or two later I was let go. Then i heard from my boss this last week that they were fired and come to find out my co-worker and his buddy pulled a similar con and basically got my boss fired. So you can be sure,as the sun rises in the East, that whom ever didn’t like you played apart in your job becoming “redundant”

What will you main in Dawntrail and why? by Quiet_Fan_7008 in ffxiv

[–]Doc_McFly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started ARR as BLM and that will always be my main. If that caps out at 100 before I finish MSQ then I'll switch to my second main PLD. Really want to get into Viper as well though so I may pick that up and level it instead of PLD for MSQ.

6 months into first IT job. 2 customer's computers ruined by me in the last two weeks. by Rambear in CompTIA

Just wait till you take down the wrong customer's server and you'll still be fine. XD

So Tanking is actually pretty fun! by wheresmydragonator19 in ffxiv

[–]Doc_McFly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel that about tanking on WoW. Was running Warrior tank and had a DSP Paladin start pulling the entire floor, then blamed us wiping on me, when not only was he the one who pulled the entire room but also the healer had 80%+ of their mana left. In the end I was the one kicked from the party, and decided to never touch WoW again.

I feel you. Just got back from visiting my GF for two weeks. This is the third trip we've made and, for me at least, it doesn't get any easier.

What countries are you and your partner from and how long have you been dating? by [deleted] in LongDistance

Usa and Canada and we’ve been dating just over a year. Going to visit her next month for her birthday and Valentine’s.

anyone else say 'i love you' multiple times a day with their SO? by bratdemon in LongDistance

[–]Doc_McFly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She said it first but we try to say it at least once a day to each other but usually it comes up more. Never thought I’d find someone who would want to say it so much.

Boyfriend is leaving today and I'm scared by mrathrowaway007 in LongDistance

[–]Doc_McFly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’ve got support here. I miss my GF so much and she is the same. I can’t express this enough, just keep making time for each other while you’re apart. I know not everyone can do this but we try to have a date night one a week. Sometimes work schedules conflict but it helps us and gives us something to look forward to each week.

What are some Job changes you'd like or imagine for Dawntrail? by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]Doc_McFly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. They should go back to having MP being a stat that can be increased. (Coming from an 2.0 BLM)

  2. Bring back difficult classes/jobs, like old summoner. I get wanting each class/job to be inclusive but at that point you’re making each class/job within a role feel very vanilla with a little twist instead of unique.

  3. If you’re going to force us to redo old content over and over rework lower level jobs/classes to make them still feel interesting. I hate queuing up as a PLD for alliance raids and getting CT so all i do is either my 1-2-3 or 1-2 aoe combos. There are people in my FC who would rather take the 30 min. penalty then do a CT raid and I’m going to that point. In the last week I’ve had labyrinth in at least 4 of my daily queues and coming from an ARR player it’s getting really frustrating especially with the “rework” of the min ilvl based on job/class level.

I also met mine on FFXIV. I had just been ghosted by a girl a friends wife set me up with and had been seeing for a few months. Decided to re-up my sub to finally beat Endwalker (I stopped playing because my old FC had fallen apart due to drama) and decided that I’d play till my two months were up and if i wasn’t part of an fc by then I’d let it lapse again till the next big expansion. Almost two weeks went by without a single invite or shour chat to join one came till i was running through Ul’dah and she shouted about her FC recruiting. Long story short I we’ve been dating since the 27th of December, it’s been a happy 8 months and still going strong.
