rip the server hiccup just as I was entering an instance.

So this isn't just my server then? It hit everyone? Because me and a friend are now stuck in a 1000 person queue and the second we get in we just instantly get booted out again. I'm so close to hitting 50 :negative:

Scholars are some of the most pompous and pedantic people I've ever had the joy of meeting.
Honest healing confuses the hell out of me. When I leveled SCH to 50 I couldn't imagine only healing because I'd have been doing nothing for 80% of the dungeon.

Uh what? I love my Wii U but it's pretty done and certainly hasn't sold as many systems.

That said splatoon probably outsold the Xbox in Japan because they give no fucks about xboxes

The Wii U is around 13million units sold, the Xbone has only been said to have sold 10 million units and Microsoft isn't really big on giving out numbers now IIRC.

Ugh, I hate how pubs treat healers. Rez entire party during Califisteri. Don't die yourself. Rez party again with LB3. Party wipe to penetration. Again. This is apparently my fault for not healing people. Get vote kicked. Like wtf, I can't heal your stupid rear end if everyone insists on getting hit by everything. Now I gotta do WC again this week cause gently caress.

Yet another reason to only play with goons if possible. Especially for Weeping City where it's still easy to get people who are terrible as hell and will make drat sure to find scapegoats for (their) fuckups.

speaking as a former honest healer (whm) I was under the (terrible and wrong) impression that "if I wanted to DPS I'd queue as DPS." After I got laughed at for being such a trash healer by my FC members I decided to try and :gitgud: which was all well and good until Alexander Floor 4 hit.

And then I hung up my loving christmas stick and grabbed a great sword.

Yeah, poo poo just plain doesn't make sense on SCH.

I can't decide if I like SCH, while it is easier to DPS as vs. WHM, at least up to 53 you don't have nearly as many "OH poo poo" heal buttons for the tank or entire party like WHM does.

Thankee kindly.
My one problem with AST is still that Gravity only being at 52 makes it more annoying to do level 50 roulette.

Well that and that Noct is still less viable. There's like the beginners of a healing strategy based around its higher potency heals but until it gets a DPS buff and/or shield buff, it's just going to be second fiddle to Diurnal.

90002 is just a general disconnection/connection timeout error. And, going by Leal's post..it's server-side.

OFFICIAL RACIST

quote:

I hate to make yet another post about the atrocious behavior in this game, because I've made many, but here we go again. I'm training my Astrologian class, and for some reason high leveled tanks keep coming into the lower level dungeons, only for lore. Nothing wrong with that, but they move too fast! I usually have to waste my lightspeed just to give them protect, and stoneskin, and I'm tired of it.

I feel even worse for saying this, but here's how I have decided to handle it.

First step: I will use a macro, so that everyone knows I'm using shield magic. I will also ask for enough time to cast said magic.

Second step: If they do it again, I'll ask them very nicely to stop pulling too fast.

Third step: I'm just going to let them die. If they complain, I'll just tell them that they are refusing to cooperate with their assigned healer. I let them know with a macro, asked them nicely to stop, and yet they still refused.

I want people to know that people are learning their classes in the lower dungeons. They need time for pulls, and to take it at whatever pace the levelers are going for. It is also a period of learning, and that needs to be respected.. I have to ask you so kindly to please stop hurting us all, just because you're desperate for lore, and you want to shave off extra minutes. I get it, dungeoning is tiring, but this is a GAME. You should be enjoying it, but If you really have to make it hard for everyone else, just because you're tired of a dungeon, you should honestly evaluate your mental fatigue, and take a break. The irony is that rushing early dungeons just makes people more likely to wipe, which in turn wastes even more of the time that people seem to value. :l

Anyway, please consider this for the healers, please! Its becoming tedious, nearly every dungeon has been like this for the past few days. </3

Mythril cuirass, cotton bracers, felt gaskins, hunter's moccasins. A wolfram cuirass also works pretty well for the chest piece.

After doing Nidhogg normal yesterday I really really really want to gear up enough to learn and fight him, after missing out on thordan and sephirot. They keep topping themselves on these fights, it's fantastic.

Still not sure whether I'd have more fun along the way gearing up BRD or NIN though :saddowns:

Well, despite their claim that they "are pleased to announce that the issue has been addressed," Excalibur's still hosed.

What's interesting is that depending on which character I try to log in, I get different queue positions. And it's always the same for each character.
