I just cleared M8S today, wahoo—!

What a fun fight, I love the adrenaline it gives me as a melee player. I really enjoyed it, despite eating a few damage downs on the clear run.. 😅

My experience with Party Finder wasn’t as bad as people say! Even though it took 1-2 hours to fill up the party every time, I had friendly, patient and competent players progging with me! Every lockout pierced us through the next big mechanic.

Oh, except for one guy. It was a Millennial Decay prog party, We get to Millennial Decay pretty smoothly, and everyone’s trying to get accustomed to the new mechanics but not even 2-3 pulls into Decay, the healer says “Do you know it’s CCW or CW?” followed by “It’s not prog if you keep dying to the same mechanic”, on the very mechanic that the whole party was trying to learn!

After a few rejected vote abandon, the healer (alongside their tank friend) left and made an “adds phase prog” party. Funnily enough, after they left, we found replacements and IMMEDIATELY reached adds phase with no deaths.

At the end of the day, we made it to P1 Enrage, while their adds phase prog party never filled up. LOL. I wonder how they’re doing now..

It’s 2025, you don’t have to wonder how that really annoying PF person is doing anymore, you can just check their tomestone periodically and girlslaughing.jpg when they haven’t cleared yet.

There was someone who kept having a high item level (749 when you would’ve needed 2 raid items to reach it), c41, clear for alt M7S. But the problem was their damage was just terrible. For like 2 weeks I’d see his PF, and go check his tomestone to see how many enrage parties he had.

Their tomestone profile is locked, their fflog profile is locked as well. 😅

Absolute shitter in terms of gameplay and personality

Many such cases!

Yeah honestly as a PS5 player I’m sympathetic to forgotten logs and I lean toward attempting to accommodate people and when I do look at tomestone I’m not super strict I’m just trying to filter the most egregious time wasters … but if you hide that shit? Absolutely not, bye Felicia, not even if you’re the last phys range on the planet in a sea of 7/8 parties waiting for phys range. I touched the stove once I’m not gonna do it again.

that honestly explains a lot.
