While I agree situational awareness is needed, I know I've fucked up before.

idk, I get into this mindset that I will always run in X direction, and it'll throw me off when suddenly I gotta go the other way. THAT'S MY SPOT BITCH!

I fully take responsibility for the fuck up, but just sayin'....get out of my spot...

Even if a plume pops up on the east near Titan you can still run east, with a bit south involved. Getting hit by a single plume every now and then is hardly a big deal anyway, it's multiple that kill you.

I always put a melee in my Ifrit parties, not sure why they prefer all ranged for that. I like having melee LB for the big nail. If the melee isn't retarded they can maximise their damage by attacking ahead of the group. You don't all have to be killing the same nail at the same time. I do this as BLM too to avoid interrupts. I can even hit two with Flare in some portions of the arena. By not being retarded I mean you avoid killing multiple nails at the same time.

i can backpedal out of plumes and not get hit you have plenty of time to change your course

or was it landslides

anyways tl;dr you're bad and i'm hyperbole but you're still awful

ten out of ten times you get hit because you're stupid is pretty much what you just described

Being a healer, I tend to just cheat on Titan by popping sprint before every plume to give me extra leeway. There's only one spot in phase 2 where it won't be up in time, but it's never an issue for me.

Anyways, the latency quality during primetime at times. Doing low-lvl roulettes on PGL , keep getting GCDs lost because the connection is either lagging on OKing my combo so I continue it, or it resets back requiring me to pay active attention to my skillbar to ensure my combo didn't get fucked.

Also tired of seeing the lag icon pop for a split-second beside my name every now and then, and it's been that way since I started playing 3 months ago. Connecting to XI's servers in Japan across the continent + sea? No problem. To Montreal next door? 5% packet loss, enjoy your next landslide. Still playing on lolPS3 so I can't try something like WTFast to force a different routing to see if that makes any difference, although I should be back on the PC Gaming wagon in a couple weeks time.

Random complaint

1) Bards who Ballad when not asked or when healers have full MP
2) Bards who does #1 then don't remove it when asked to, and bitch at us for telling them what to do
3) Bards who never ballad at all when asked and when healers got no MP

**OWS_Tonx** · 2014-02-01 19:56

Sounds like you just hate bards. In Fren's defense, it does fuck me up when I do get a melee who flanks right before the plumes. Like Ksandra said, I have the one side I like to run to. You learn to adjust, but I generally just focus on my shit hoping everyone else knows what the fuck

Correction i Hate every PUG Bards

No reason to give ballad when mages are near full MP

I've had zero experience playing PC games prior to this so I'm still not fully accustomed to using a keyboard. I just press Q most of the time to evade plumes and shit gets wonky when an extra one pops and I'm not ready for it -- which I should be, but fuck it.

I purposefully pick the riskiest spots to dodge just because nobody else is crazy enough to dodge in a tiny sliver between plumes and gaoler-death-puddle.

**Obsidian** · 2014-02-01 22:05

Sometimes when the jailers die as all the bombs have gone off I run along the edge of the arena where the sludge isn't touching instead of running around through Titan and placing a puddle on whoever's tanking. I haven't fallen off... yet.

So i join a Garuda Ex group that has greed rules listed in the PF. I have all but the healer ring, which i don't play, so i decided to join and try for the mount. When we enter everyone begins listing their item so i tell them the mount. The party tells me i'm not allowed to greed on that, rings only. When i ask why they tell me that is for everyone to greed on because "It's ultra rare." and "Everyone can use it." I try to explain that with greed rules it doesn't matter who can use what and that since it it's so rare i have less chance to obtain anything. The parties complains and tells me to leave if i don't like it so i do. Am i wrong here for assuming the mount is free game to be picked in a greed party?

Pretty much should be whatever the party leader wants it to be as far as inclusion; I've seen it both ways.

The PF message just said "Greed rules. Pick one item and greed only that item."

**Grey Jorildyn** · 2014-02-01 22:34

Since it is fairly "rare", the accepted way on Hyperion seems to be greed rings (or pick one to greed), and everyone can need on whistle. Seems pretty fair to me, and I only want mount at this point since i have almost all 15 accessories.

To defend PUG bards: when you use DF as a Bard, every single group will have someone(s) bitch about having or not having a specific song up no matter what you're doing.

It really depends on the fight and the party makeup and whether or not people can fucking dodge anything.. and any combination of those 3 variables.

You'd best be checking that two digit ping privilege.

ya I've never seen a group that lets you pick the mount. Greed only just means the rings imo

wat. No need to defend shitty BRDs or shitty players who want full time ballad. I ballad IF you need MP and tbh, if you do and it's not because a million people died, you probably suck.

I've seen multiple BRDs just ballad at the start and every time they get mp to do so, which is retarded 99.9% of the time. I use ballad so rarely it's crazy, almost always using Foe's, unless we have no casters obv, ofc then I see other BRDs use Foe's fulltime, when we have no casters.

90% of the time I hit ballad is it's Turn 5(and at this point it's probably more for LB then MP cause our healers rock) or a healer died during an Ex Primal.

They know their SCH deeps when they see it.
