E5N, second cast of stratospear summon massacre. we tried rezzing but then called for a wipe because we weren't gonna fully recover in time lol

Blue: Mentor Tank

Red: Myself

Green: Anxious first run healer

Yellow: Random FC member

I’m fairly new to the game, and I hadn’t had an experience with rude or unhelpful mentors until today. I saw everyone here mention experiences, but never thought I’d see anything, even minor, myself.

Until today. Got Sastasha (Hard) in Duty Roulette. At first everyone says hi but the tank, which aight maybe they’re just not up to talking, or don’t want to. We hit the first boss and the healer is doing decently well except they seem to be struggling to understand the tail screw mechanic, but they’re healing and DPSing which is nice.

Tail screw wipes us, because the healer doesn’t know the debuff interacts with the attack. They panic and flail to heal suddenly low DPS HP. No biggie, it’s their first time here. But immediately the tank attacks the healer for DPSing, and not heal spamming.

The healer is a bit put out so I try to help with a little explanation best I can typing on controller, we try again and they mess up. They’re more than a bit flustered now, but the tank mentor keeps berating them.

Eventually it plays out as above, in the last few messages. The healer tried to res me bc I didn’t return bc I was typing and that just pissed them off more, I tried to vote kick bc the healer really was beating themselves up at this point but I knew we could do the fight.

We did wipe one more time because I was at the start trying to vote kick, or leave if I had to, and wasn’t there, and I’m not sure the black mage engaged either.

Idk if you can’t handle a couple of mistakes from a sprout in a level 50 dungeon, on their first run? Maybe turn that crown off, imo.

Oh, I said I was going to leave bc I voted to kick and it didn’t seem to go through, but after a moment of hesitation it did and they were replaced with a new tank who was wonderful and patient with the two first timers and we cleared the fight first attempt with our new tank. So.

After 5 years, I finally have something to post here but….not at all what I expected LOL. Honestly probably one of the wildest WoD interactions I’ve seen LOL one person made a “funny numbers” joke after someone said they wanted to speed run to beat reset. One guy took the whole thing VERY personally LOL

Talking about parses and personally coming after someone for their logs in Alliance chat is SURELY a choice. One bro just didn’t know what a goose egg was, could have just explained but instead publicly called out the dude’s logs LOL insane, insane behavior

normalish run of brayflox longstop except I had someone preach about Jesus at the start of it, idk what they hope to achieve with this but it was very weird to see

Not sure what the two healers were doing. Just did the Lighthouse from Ivalice raids and the duo healers really didn't heal all that often. Whole party wiped at Robot and final boss.

Everytime Thordan normal appears in my roulettes, I always play it up for fun, just in the case I manage to convince an unsuspecting sprout that the fight isn't a complete joke (it really needs some tuning). With Cape Westwind and Steps of Faith being relegated to solo duties, Thordan is kinna like the only low level trial I can pull this off with.

I have learned my lesson, knockback on the flesh back/flesh forward is NOT FORGIVING (that's how i died three times) aside from that, for some reason the Samurai jumped off, probably to get on the platform early but it failed

(not sure how to think about this lol

got some savage brained people in m10n yesterday and i just remembered to share it

someone put down markers for m10s and i got a preview of savage mode lol

Hopped into Normal Raid Roulette, trying to get a few tomes, and I get Cruise Chaser. The fight goes on for a while and we start seeing mechanics I've never even seen before. We wipe, I have a look around to see what everyone's doing and why DPS is so low when I notice this specimen. We try again, wipe again, and then I quit because I've had enough.

This person ONLY uses Nightmare Scythe. I ask them wtf are they doing, of course they don't reply and someone has the audacity to say "don't be rude, they're new".

Doing a quick trial roulette before I PF reclear M12S, and I get Innocence. I notice that one of the two black mages is walking around the arena. Not running, but RP walking. I then notice that they are casting freeze on single target very often. The chat was empty. The photos show just how bad he was. There was no chat with more context to screenshot.

They are not new, I was curious so I looked them up afterwards. They have every job to level 100, including gatherers and crafters. There is no excuse. At no point were they just standing doing nothing, they were always at least rp walking.

I hope they were trolling or something, because even from all the bad players I've seen in the years I've played this game I find it hard to believe that there is someone this bad out there with all jobs at max level. It's bad enough that I wonder if it's a bought account.

I guess I'm extra disappointed because I main caster, and right now am focusing on BLM. Although in this case I was the RDM.

good old gem from 2024.

doing leveling roulette on my alt and got a classic tam tara, WHM said hes leveling his last healer and tank said i trust you then at the start, pulling the usual wall to wall, no one dies, thought it will be just regular quick leveling roulette until WHM stopped and start yapping.

I guess I should preface this by saying I know I'm not really looking great in this one.

When I called it a skill issue I meant it mostly as a joke- Cause it was. I know Repose is not really well known tech on the turtle so I didn't really expect them to have it on bar.

The only reason I brought it up was because both DPS were Melee so it would have saved some time to have Repose interrupts; but it wasn't like a life or death situation.

But the healer seemed to overreact a lot, this dragged into the next boss where they were typing the middle of boss mechs, they died twice during the fight as a result. Just for clarity we didn't start the fight until after "I had said I have it on my healers just fine." Hence why I didn't say anything to the two other messages before we won, I was focused on the boss. I had to clean up the boss alone with the PLD.

I dunno- Like I said I'm not exactly the good guy in the situation but I didn't expect it to be that big of a deal. Certainly not enough of an argument to drag into the boss room.
