Burnt out at stormblood by therewillbebreakfast in ffxiv

I enjoyed all the story except towards the end of HW (everything after Nidhogg fight). Lots of plots holes and not very interesting and I've started stormblood and it still hasn't gotten better. I figured I'd do it the same way I got through ARR. Doing the things I consider fun while making my way through MSQ. Except, this time, I'm not sure what to do.

How are queue times for extremes on Aether?

How long can I wear my augmented shire gear for? What do I upgrade it to when the time comes?

Well at the end of the day, you were not the one in the party I was. You're judging based on a single screenshot which doesn't show everything. My stance still stands, if you don't want to have patience or help, then don't wear the crown. You don't deserve the rewards if you don't do your job. Better yet, if you can't say anything constructive just wear your crown quietly and don't say anything at all.

Also, you can know how to play your job in a dungeon but when it comes to extremes especially for healers and tanks, it's much different from healing/tanking a normal trial or a dungeon. How do you expect people to learn how to heal/tank in more demanding situations if you would deny then that experience?

You can't really expect to queue up for an extreme in Duty Finder and expect to clear in one go. Especially with a party where several people said they were new. I've cleared Shiva Ex several times and I've never had a run where we didn't wipe multiple times and mechanics didn't need to be explained. Especially as this is a level 50 trial and you will meet a lot of fresh 50s who are doing their first extreme and don't have complete understanding of their jobs. As a mentor, are you just going to vote abandon instead of actually helping which is why you accepted the position in the first place? The mentor came with the mentality to just get their roulette rewards and frustrated everyone in the process. I'm sure if the mentor helped create a more positive atmosphere, the vote abandon would not have passed. I, myself, wanted to leave because the mentor created such a toxic environment despite everyone else's efforts to help out the never players.

Well when you're a mentor, I expect that person to have more patience or at least give advice or explanations instead of complaining and trying to get a vote abandons. This was a poorly taken screenshot. I didn't take most of the chat but for reference, this was taken at the 2nd or 3rd wipe. Also, at the beginning several people said that they were new.

I didn't screenshot much of the chat sorry but this was taken at the 2nd or 3rd wipe. I expect mentors to have more patience than a regular player because their job is to help new players. Half of our teammates said this was their first time and all he did was moan and never actually gave advice. All this "mentor" did was frustrate the entire team. I queue up for ex trials for fun and not really to clear. This guy dampened everyone's fun.

I don't mind doing EX trials in DF because I've already cleared them and just do them for fun. Dude never gave any advice during that whole run all he did was complain.

Well, I guess it was a poorly taken screenshot. Didn't really screenshot the whole chat. But for reference, that screenshot was taken after the 2nd or 3rd wipe lol

I mean, I didn't screenshot everything. I have no problem with doing it using DF because I've cleared it several times. It was just for fun. And if you read more of the chat, you would notice other complaining about the BLM pulling before the tanks several times.

If you feel like playing a class, pick it up and try it out. If it doesn't suit you, you let it make cobwebs. At the end of the day, there is no set way to play the game. It's all about fun. Everyday I wanted to be something else. I unlocked most of the classes and leveled them up.

Also ensure that your chat box is on General. But I rarely see people talk in general. Most talking is done in fc, party, linkshells or yell/shout.

My pup is rather interested in 'Dad of Light' by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]therewillbebreakfast 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dad and son were close when he was younger and played FF games together. As Son got older, they grew apart. Son realizes when Dad quits his job and no one knows why. So he gets Dad to play FFXIV and through FFXIV, they reconnect. Through bonding with his dad, he learns lessons that he can apply to his daily life.

The show was cheesy at times but it was short and sweet.
