When joining Duty Roulette as a party, abandoning the duty within the first 10 minutes will incur a penalty.

Ok, dont really get the problem with this one. Why do ppl care about abandoning if the pt is premade?

OF is usually bitching about SR if it hurts the feelings of some special snowflake or when ppl in DF drop after the second boss.... on the other hand nvm. I'm trying to find logic in OF bitching.

yeah some fucking assholes had to go and ruin it for everyone.

Just had a 35 minute Brayflox hard run. i100 BLM (me), i90 BLM, i91 PLD and i90 WHM.

I joined in progress, clock was at 87 minutes and MP bars were filling so I guess someone had left after a wipe. The tank then proceeds to pull two mobs at a time all the way to the first boss.

On the second set of trash the tank is brave and pulls 6 of the 9 goblins so I RS + Quelling and do my stuff. After my fire 2s and double flare I tank the rest of the pull. He then pulls the other 3 + a raptor, I'm tanking this time with just a single Flare (no Quelling ready of course). Second boss the tank managed to lose hate to me again around 20% health left.

I don't even know how a tank with good gear can lose hate on a single target boss. The odd trash mob in a big pull is understandable, but he was losing hate on everything he tanked including the 2 mob pulls at the start.

On the next set of trash before the gate he loses hate again. Surprisingly the final set of trash he managed to keep them, but some deep jungle coerul with about 30k HP that you never fight joined us too.

Then we get to the final boss. WHM starts dancing and doesn't enter the arena. We try anyway but wipe due to too many bomb explosions. WHM then tries vote abandoning twice, told him he could just leave but he wouldn't. Should have kicked him but I thought no because the tank was worse. Second try the WHM and other BLM die to the third set of bombs. I figured we could still finish. I LB2 the big bomb which one shots it. In the meantime the tank is getting hit by every dive and died before the last phase started. Unfortunately I couldn't do 5k damage on my own before the boss killed me. Third try was a win, surprisingly a clean one with a well placed LB.

That must be a world record slow run for a group that geared.

I'm not sure what's being ruined? Outside of preventing you from being able to keep re-entering roulette as a full premade to get a certain dungeon, which was stupid anyways since the diff between the dungeons are 5min at most.

A premade PT is not necessarily 4- or 8-man. I'm guessing the problem is a PT stranding a guy in duty that nobody else will join in-progress or somesuch.

**Edelweiss** · 2014-07-04 13:04

Shitty 2nd tanks in Praetorium and Castrum Meridianum who insist on being the MT (when they clearly shouldn't be based on what follows) who don't pull mobs in ways that make them cluster up (especially when there's mage trash mobs), pull bosses in ways that make it easy to AoE everything down while still damaging the boss simultaniously, and needlessly aggro/pull shit that doesn't need to be. Often WARs, but it's been PLDs the past few days.

I just can't take this stupidity anymore; stop making this more annoying and slow for me, yourself, and everyone else.

Don't you get a penalty if the pt has less than 4 ppl? Never did it without a full group.

Btw. I'm gonna make a petition on the OF and demand to make BRD a tank job, cause that's all I fuckin do in the dungeons lately.

**BerenTebogo** · 2014-07-04 13:58

Parties containing one or more members who have been penalized for abandoning a duty will be unable to register for duties via the Duty Finder.

No more dropping shitty DF and then joining some PF while waiting. Fuck my life.

**Taruina** · 2014-07-04 14:00

My i60 SMN alt character has only once been out deeps'd in a high level roulette...how are people so garbage?

**solracht** · 2014-07-04 14:02

Am I misunderstanding the patch notes? That's not new, is it? Right now it won't let me queue on DF if one of my PT members has the 30min penalty.

**Seravi Edalborez** · 2014-07-04 14:04

DF turn 4. After a couple wipes people start saying the WAR is undergeared. While he has some wrong accessories (dex neck, darklight str earring), lost hate to healers for some reason on k+s, and i50 pants, the rest of his left side is i90+, he has zenith weapon, and he says he's done this before fine. He wasn't the (only) problem. Slow healers and an asleep BLM were.

But sure, vote abandon that because he's undergeared. Tell that to my shitty i82 MNK that's killing all of you i90+ assholes.

This is specifically for Duty Roulette only and doesn't affect other premade duties. The reason is obvious, too many people abusing Roulette so they can have Brayflox HM/WP daily bonus mode instead of y'know running a random dungeon like DFR is originally intended to be.

**Edelweiss** · 2014-07-04 20:47

It never ends.

Rebuilt static gets to Turn 9 again finally after a couple weeks of new people having issues with 7 and 8. And now we've lost our OT and 2 DDs to work schedules that have them gone all evening excluding one day a week. WHM is gone due to RL shit, won't be back for a long while. SCH just got asked to join a group that has it's shit together, and after hemmoraging our best people (tanks and healers for sure, in our case), they're gone too.

Welp, fuck you Second Binding Coil of Bahamut. Not one piece of Fending since 2.2 and countless incidents of rage/frustration in trying to keep a static together.

It'll be better in 2.4, r-right?

**Ratatapa** · 2014-07-04 20:54

nope

Just tried to play a little ffxiv at work on my vita, connection was stable for the past hour, so I queued for expert roulette, got brayflox, and then the internet immediately went to shit. What's worse is that I'm pretty sure the tank was an old ls mate from ffxi and I had to leave instead of getting to say hi. Would like it if the game could somehow pick up that someone on Vita lost/regained remote connection as it makes me look like an ass when I randomly afk due to losing connection.
