Griefing CM in -style-.

[Vandole]

If someone afk's in a cutscene and you wipe in CM during final boss... You're at their mercy until it crashes. SE please make cutscenes autoprogress....

Also, Gavar Khai.. You're a faggot.

edit: The cutscene ended for him. He's still afk and the fight is still in progress even though she's reset.

edit #2 for posterity:

wiping in CM in the first place is griefing the human race

Only happened because of the AFK made the gigants aggro to him because he never skipped the cutscene, and the healers reacted and tried to heal him. Suddenly they have aggro and the chain of wipes has begun.




He fell down and died after what appears to be 20 minutes, resetting it for us. Which is still bullshit.

Yep, having a great time here.

How do you wipe by having -1 DPS on a faceroll fight?

Edit: What's standard procedure for 1 tank vs those adds anyways?

[Vandole]

updated that into op. wiping in cm is pretty fucking hard and we managed it thanks to him. he didn't tell us he went afk.

edit for seravi: usually you can skip them entirely by bypassing the cutscenes quickly or just react and kill them. one tank in cm is pretty standard now though

[Prothescar]

and even if you need to kill them one tank is absolutely adequate, especially if you use the cannons

Whoever gets locked on moves near tank, everyone AoEs the shit out of them. Tank can't pull off adds anyway except for the Colossus at the end, so having 2 doesn't matter. Personally, I use cover if it's a healer that doesn't know Holy makes the adds bitches.

[Seravi Edalborez]

That's kind of what makes me furrow my brow though. If that's the plan anyways why do healers die from just that?

Maybe I'm overthinking it.

[Prothescar]

not sure either, healers shouldve been able to sustain themselves until vandole got the giants off of them

I fully agree. It just was a bad end apparently.


The initial plan was to not even have to worry about them. SE really needs to add a kick function to these instances.

I joined a CM at 4/5 the other day

immediately found out why their last healer bailed. both tanks were so god damn slow/stupid that me and the other WHM ended up kiting/bouncing threat for the first minute

god damn it sucks ass to get some fate-grinding piece of shit end up in your group and have no clue about their class/role

I bet half of them click, too!

My favorite was his arguing that his GPU went haywire and he spent 30-40 minutes unplugging it trying to get it to work (all while remaining connected to the game, hmmmm)
and then he continued to waste another 10 minutes while we asked him to leave, arguing and not even bothering to respawn.

In the end, we cleared it with a 5 man crew with 0 difficulty once he left.
That doesn't change the fact that this is complete bullshit though.

itt: FFXIV players experience things that everyone else has been experiencing in other games with dungeon finders for years.

The general public is retarded. You have to accept this when you queue for anything without a full group that you've made yourself.

I'm wondering how/why that death happens. Doesn't really make sense.

You sure it wasn't one of those who casts Medica II right as a tank pulls the boss?
I met one of those when I did Praetorium the first time.

Would cast swiftcast Medica II right as I pulled, then started "kiting"
Then he proceeded to complain cause the "tank couldn't keep hate" and "he wasn't going to heal for a minute because of it"
I'd get it back relativly quick, but that's the most retarded shit.

Had one of those who just spammed the crap out of it on one of my Titan tries aswell.
When he was told not to, his reply was "It's alright for me, My MP doesn't go down much"

Really.

[Mortilox]

Nah neither of us used medica. The tank took a bunch of damage on the pull, other healer Cure II'd him and took aggro. Shit went downhill from there as we both tried to keep eachother up with regen/cure 2.

real douchebox move for SE to tie our MP regen ability to our threat drop ability.

[Nyanoko]

A DRG, what a surprise.

Maybe the fight has an instant wipe mechanic if you are in the battle for too long? idk many people that would take 20+ min to kill her like Vandole said so I wouldn't know and I sure as hell don't wanna waste my time/time of others to find out either lol.
