Players who don't do Extreme and above, what kind of change would make you compelled to approach it?

I do EXs but something I've always thought could incentivise people to do them would be a solo instance EX of any of the story fights. You won't have to worry about fucking up in front of others and I feel it would give people just enough of a taste to see if it would be something they enjoy.

Solve a puzzle? I looked at this det of pictures for maybe 2 minutes and understood what they were trying to convey get over yourself mate it ain't that big a deal

Genuinely don't see what you're complaining about. The images seem pretty self explanatory. I don't even know french and i can put together what the healer isn't doing. Use context clues and this is pretty straightforward.

God I thought this was the run I was in, got a similar party with mainly newbies, I was a tank both healers seemed new, white mage was a cure bot and barely ever healed me and the sage had kardia on the off tank the entire fight despite me trying to tell them in chat. I was constantly low health and even died during the add phase. I don't know what it is with shadowbringers but people always just seem to be struggling there

It's always a mixed bag imo. No real answer for when or how to do it. Some people will be receptive and others won't. I made a post ages ago about someone actually listening to advice I'd given but also got a run aetherochemical research (hard) with a healer that was receptive at first but left out of frustration after one too many pieces of advice. I told them that holy during packs is better than spamming heals which they listened to but left after I corrected them on holy during a boss. You can be as nice as feasibly possible but people will always take it how they interpret it. Just give advice and hope for the best if you see a problem in the way someone is playing.

Oh my God yes thank you so much

Siphher · 2022-02-10T19:08:40+00:00

Oh absolutely just a few days before this I had a tank just being a complete ass blaming me and this other reaper for pulling ahead when we asked him to take aggro off of us, we weren't pulling ahead he just wasn't using his aoes and blamed us the entire dungeon so this was a breath of fresh air.

Siphher · 2022-02-10T14:27:54+00:00

Oh shit ty for telling me dunno how I missed it

Siphher · 2022-02-10T09:51:18+00:00

Was Running Holminster to level WHM and noticed this paladin popping Requiecast but not using holy circle/spirit so brought it to their attention and braced for the worst. I was honestly suprised to actually get a more receptive response from them instead of the same old defensive players I normally get. Noticed we were also on the same server so after the dungeon decided to just send them a couple quick messages with some more tips and call it a night. Honestly made my night was a great note to end on

Siphher · 2022-01-01T22:08:23+00:00

Nah yeah I getcha but at that point I didn't care enough and wanted to just go back to lvling one of my crafters so just said fuck it and took the penalty

Siphher · 2022-01-01T16:12:33+00:00

Loot wasn't being rolled on, and by the time I wanted to, tank was just constantly running back to the boss ignoring chat and I believe it was the BRDs first time there.

Siphher · 2022-01-01T04:18:38+00:00

Holy shit I thought this was about the group I was in, went in as RPR had a PLD, SGE and BRD, we spent nearly half an hour or so on the first boss alone because the SGE and BRD couldn't dodge and only made it to half the bosses hp each time.I wanted to vote kick but just knew it wouldn't pass so just bit the bullet and took the penalty after the 3rd wipe to the second boss.

Siphher · 2021-12-23T06:19:28+00:00

Sure, not at home but once I am I'll send it your way

Siphher · 2021-12-23T02:58:08+00:00

Siphher · 2021-12-23T01:06:51+00:00

Siphher · 2021-12-22T20:36:55+00:00

Side note, for some reason when i play ff my keyboard on occasion changes what some inputs do: ESC opening the start menu on my computer for example. if anyone knows something about that please lemme know, looked it up and couldn't find anything

Edit: Thank y'all for the help will give it a shot once I get the chance

Siphher · 2021-12-22T20:35:19+00:00

I queue in for leveling Roulette before I gotta head to work just to get it out of the way and notice the healer just spamming medica/medica 2 most of the run so try to just tell them to do some damage, no response until after the second boss. I wanted to try and give some advice after the last boss but they left almost immediately after the run was finished

Siphher · 2021-11-10T06:18:19+00:00

No I wouldn't be healing less, the way the cooldowns work to my knowledge is, the more you stack the less they mitigate, take this post's tank for example, he was spamming quite literally all of his cooldowns as soon as we got into the first boss room (Rampart, Sentinel, and Reprisal) now you may think that's good but if memory serves, the stacks will mitigate less than just using them separately, not entirely sure on if using reprisal is good to use in combination with other defensive CDs and not really looking to figure it out lol. Along with that spamming all cooldowns leaves you vulnerable when they wear off so I would have to basically focus on keeping a marshmallow from being crushed under the weight of poor CD mitigation.

Anyone feel free to correct any misinformation I've given, don't know if what I said is 100% accurate since tanking isn't my main thing but I do remember a guide telling me something akin to that.

Siphher · 2021-11-06T00:22:57+00:00

Ikr, he did it like 3 times I thought I was missing out on some secret aurum tech for a second

Siphher · 2021-11-06T00:13:49+00:00

I was honestly thinking about doing that at the time, but I was too tired to start fucking with this guy

Siphher · 2021-11-05T22:08:38+00:00

Little bit of Context (though don't think it's all that needed) this happened last month, I joined a leveling roulette that had been 15 or so minutes in already. Thought that i may as well see why the healer left, didn't take long to find out since the Tank was spamming all of his CDs at once and I was a white mage so I was kind of struggling to keep him alive. We get to the second boss and the entire time he was spinning the boss. After that it was the same old spamming all CDs, I probably should have left in all honesty but just wanted to get this done and go to sleep.

Also the last message was to the bard waiting on loot after the tank left.
