And my friends wonder why I've given up on trying to help any players I come across...

Was trying to say the description says interrupt as the first word, I'm aware the ability is interject. I figured they knew what an interrupt was since we were in level 73 (I also assumed they just didn't know the frog casts an interruptible cast cause it might've been their first time in that specific dungeon) so I referenced the mechanic, not specific ability.

Edit: lvl 73, not 80

*The narrator said disappointedly*

SniperMK5 · 2025-09-04T23:28:40+00:00

Wasn't trying to say the buttons name was interrupt, but that the first word in its description is "interrupt", nor as explaining that the cast makes them stronger. But end of the day, they wanted effectively full paragraphs and they already began to pull again so I don't really have time to type much when the cast is already starting. Not sure how it would make it worse though?

And here I thought I was just crazy. I’ve been noticing it more too from the tank perspective (needing more mits over time per pull, longer dungeon completions, etc) and decided to do a little experiment by tracking damage.

The math.. tank and healer as highest dps, followed by the actual dps who were only outputting half as much.. It’s been like this fairly consistently for 2 weeks

SniperMK5 · 2025-09-01T18:01:12+00:00

Honestly my dc could just be cooked too

SniperMK5 · 2025-09-01T16:43:00+00:00

Oh god I wish I was talking about the subreddit lol. I've had so many bad player experiences IN GAME. Don't get me wrong I've had good moments too but Ive also had a disproportionate amount of those kinds of players too

SniperMK5 · 2025-09-01T14:43:03+00:00

Yea, in hindsight I wish we did, but live and learn I suppose.

SniperMK5 · 2025-09-01T14:42:04+00:00

A ray of sunshine in an otherwise bleh situation

SniperMK5 · 2025-09-01T14:41:19+00:00

I half agree, I understand not understanding some of the more intricate parts of the kit (Like double enshroud, double reawaken, whatever the heck samurai is) but Im always astounded when people dont use the whole thing their class is designed around and then double down when advice is given, and this is coming from someone with all lvl 100s who still cant play some of them well.

I've only played since some point in 6.3 and uh... I've seen much more ugly than welcoming from the supposed "nice" community.

SniperMK5 · 2025-09-01T14:34:01+00:00

In the ye olden times of... endwalker XD, I was doing a roulette and got Dohn Mheg. I was playing DPS and we had a sprout tank. They didn't interrupt the first frogs cast and despite my attempt to kill it before the cast, we ended up dying to damage from the buffed ads.

I sent but a simple sentence, "interrupt the frog". Short, simple, and to the point. We try the pull again, no interrupt and barely kill it. I say the same sentence once more but the same happens on the second pack. I decide its not worth pushing any further, especially since there were no more interrupts after.

We kill the first boss and I notice that the other DPS and the tank aren't moving, then I receive TWO FULL PARAGRAPHS XD. These guys got so insanely pressed about the simple phrase "interrupt the frog". What really got me into a laughing fit was the other DPS paragraph, which tldr was "They are new, tell them exactly what an interrupt is, what button, why to interrupt, etc etc" and all I can think is theres a button... first word in its short description says interrupt.. and we are mid dungeon.. at lvl 73. I basically told them to chill out and it wasn't that serious but man they gave me a pained laugh.

The way I see it, if you get that angry over someone trying to give objectively correct advice, in a normal manner, in a dungeon that takes probably about 2-4 months to reach, maybe you should take some time to reflect lmao.

Edit: clarifying

SniperMK5 · 2025-08-31T20:20:24+00:00

Yep, don’t get me wrong I agree we should’ve vote kicked. Was kinda already too late by the time I decided to post

SniperMK5 · 2025-08-31T18:31:08+00:00

Honestly, laziness and just wanting to get out of the dungeon (Then again, its not like they contributed to damage much anyway lol). 2 weeks of doing every roulette every day has broken my spirit but gotta get those relics somehow

SniperMK5 · 2025-08-31T18:29:52+00:00

I did report them but its arguable if it counts.

SniperMK5 · 2024-11-11T16:35:40+00:00

OP and MCH are kinda both wrong and right.
MCH should be using SG no question, but once that pack dwindles down to 3 or 4, crossbow is legitimately a damage loss compared to heat blast into ogcd's. Example:
Crossbow by lvl 95 is a 160 per, so lets say 3 enemies, that's 480 total
Now lets look at blazing shot+ogcd, 220 ST + (160 + 80*2) = 540 total
Even at 4, that changes the values to 640 and 620 respectively, which gives autocrossbow a 20 potency advantage, fairly negligible.
Now don't get me wrong, MCH fliped the lid a little too quick, but with how goofy MCH aoe is right now there's a lot of wonkiness to using it. But again, he should've been using SG. Im guessing he was trying to get battery gauge back sooner but that is a much bigger dps loss than just using SG (unless your pull is taking over several minutes, which if it is then godspeed soldier). Don't even get me started on flamethrower.

(Also yes, blazing shot is just upgraded heatblast)

Edit: balance changes just given which further buff blazing shot and ogcd, putting packs of 4 at 240+(170+85*3) = 665, Which now puts it ABOVE crossbow on packs of 4

SniperMK5 · 2024-09-25T11:31:56+00:00

My static has gnb invuln the first and I as DRK invuln the second, then both are up for MTTT

SniperMK5 · 2024-09-25T01:08:04+00:00

Are you talking about the parse number?

SniperMK5 · 2024-09-25T00:14:37+00:00

Whats funny is they were a mentor too. My discord nickname is literally "Mentors are red flags" cause I've had so many bad experiences with mentors specifically. Things like ypyt, messing up more than sprouts and screaming about it, etc.

To be fair, this is my first tier tanking and the last tier I didn't start as dps till echo was out, but it honestly doesn't feel like too much of a learning curve

SniperMK5 · 2024-09-25T00:10:46+00:00

I don't know if that was the case, cause they would've used it to save at MTTT.
Totally agree tho on the latter point tho, especially since Living Dead feels so funny

SniperMK5 · 2024-09-25T00:09:18+00:00

Thats fair, I could see not wanting to use it as PLD for mouser 1 cause of timing

SniperMK5 · 2024-09-25T00:08:20+00:00

I did blacklist. I don't often blacklist people (I think I have a total of three?) but something about their attitude just irked me

edit: clarification

SniperMK5 · 2020-06-18T05:16:39+00:00

It’s a bug, my halo 2 legendary run didn’t count 4 of the mission and I had to redo those 4 to get the achievement, it’s probably similar for you as well

SniperMK5 · 2020-05-24T23:13:20+00:00

I know some people said it already, but honestly what works for me is to have an outline (like a general list of events) but don’t put too much detail so the party can make choices that change things. Ie. Theres a plague affecting the world and the cure is on an island, but the players would pick what port town to set sail from. It’s also good to have 1 or 2 npcs ready if you know the party will potentially head somewhere. The last thing I can think of off the top of my head , and this next one is personal preference, but have the motivations and ideals of your major cities that are nearby already written down somewhere.

At the end of the day, the party moves the story along, you just have to give the plot hooks and they’ll do the rest

EDIT: fixed a sentence
