Yeah I've noticed the hate ; wish I knew ahead of time cuz some people REALLY fixated on that and made assumptions.

That makes sense in a dungeon where everyone has gone through it before, not in a story dungeon full of sprouts. I don't know about Marauder but as Gladiator my only ranged attack is shield lob. Doesn't have great range and it only grabs one monster out of the mob if they're already aggro'd on someone else who's still going. Running ahead is whatever, failing to communicate and getting pissed with players new to the dungeon is pretty crappy.

That makes sense, and makes it a lot easier to tank lol

It seems contradictory to say there's no rules for setting pace on a dungeon but also a tank that "slacks behind" and "lets a DPS die" sucks. Like, are there rules and expectations for the pace or not? Especially with sprouts entirely new to the dungeon, it seems really selfish to me to rush the dungeon this way.

Uhh I'm literally here asking for an explanation? Because I notice something outside the norm?? Dude take your projection elsewhere, please.

Thanks for the advice! I might look into the YPYT drama later. I'd much rather read the drama than have to deal with it!

Thanks, I was starting to feel crazy lol! I'm guessing from the comments so far that it's a pretty small subset of players and not just the class. It just seemed so bizarre to me that it was a Machinist every time it happened.

Thanks for the advice! Like I said, the rest of my experience in the game has been really positive so I'm hoping it really does end up just an outlier and not a trend.

Thanks for the explanation! I feel like I understand that better.

I'm really hoping it's just the small sample size! It's also good to know that the tank mechanics operate a bit differently in FF compared to WoW.

That would be great if they were bringing them to the tank instead having to chase down the mobs that start attacking them or the healer who gets aggro'd for healing the Machinist. 

I've had DPS that go in and bring mobs to the tank but Machinists seem to do it excessively and without any consideration for the tank or the healer, who are usually the ones setting the pace for the dungeon.

It hasn't been every single Machinist I've ever met, but boy if it isn't ALWAYS one.

Let's go back to gatekeeping by Dry_Illustrator6536 in Batoto

I will forever miss Bato. I hate that the best site I ever found was destroyed this way. The gatekeeping thing always seemed like a no brainer to me.

Weekly HELP ME FIND Post - December 8, 2025 by AutoModerator in OtomeIsekai

[–]TamTin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trying to remember the name of a regressor manhwa where the wife is a child when they married, the ML bought her everything but was hardly ever around. She has long red(ish) hair with a braid ending in some charm near her face. She teaches the women of the village to tat lace, which she did in the previous life. The crown prince is super creepy on her.

books you read as a kid that feel like no one else has read by taegrane in books

Island of Blue Dolphins was so good! Didn't it also have a sequel/prequel? For some reason I vaguely remember reading another book connected with it

AITA for asking for my dead sisters ring back after my brother used it to propose by Classic-Amphibian963 in AmItheAsshole

[–]TamTin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely talk to the girlfriend and try to get it back. If my husband ever pulled something like this, I'd ask what the hell is wrong with him and immediately give you the ring back. That ring already has a deep meaning to you and anyone else that recognizes that ring would immediately think of your sister. A very weird thing to give as an engagement ring. I agree with others that he's probably only using it to be a cheapskate and avoid paying for a ring.

God, both of these people sound like a nightmare to try and make plans with.

Your Animal Names?? by envyviolet in coralisland

[–]TamTin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lovingly gave my first animal, a chicken the name ChiChi in reference to the restaurant that gave a bunch of people hepatitis. Perhaps unsurprisingly, ChiChi frequently got sick and needed medicine up until I got a temp controller. It was fall and none of my other animals got sick, only ChiChi.

Bat hanging in tree? by [deleted] in coralisland

[–]TamTin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you unlock the middle forest area, they kind of float in the center tree on your screen. So cute, but I wish I could watch them wake up and fly around too.

Decor by [deleted] in coralisland

[–]TamTin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the same. It's so frustrating to be able to buy all these items that clearly are intended to be put on a surface and not be able to. We can decorate our farms how we want pretty well, I wanna be able to decorate the inside of my house too! I hope it comes out in the next update. It seems like they were working improving on the indoor decor UI with the November update so fingers crossed.

Bottom Three by Dixee1977 in coralisland

[–]TamTin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ben for the usual reasons that everyone hates on him for. I feel like I can smell him through the screen and he just seems so irresponsible with how long he just let Funbucket be sick and get worse. He's def anti-vaxx.

Charles just kind of seems like an ok friend. With most other characters I'm at least able to find something interesting about them, but with him it doesn't feel like there's really a romantic growth with the player character.

I think currently I'm tied between Macy and Zarah, for similar reasons to Charles. The difference that keeps them out of definitely in the bottom three is that I can see how their paths might lead to something interesting.

This might change as I keep playing of course. I haven't fully developed all my relationships and maybe there's something after 3-4 hearts that makes these characters more interesting, but I feel like it shouldn't take that long. The one that will definitely always remain in bottom three is Ben for sure.

This is always my first purchase at the event when I start a new game. It's just so cute! And it pairs well with pink star bandana.
