WTF? (PLD drama)

Re: WTF? (PLD drama)

Oddly enough, I didn't see no drama with the OP post, but the ensuing thread development afterwards.

This thread delivers. Drama I meant.

I try my best to be less than dramaful, but, unfortunately, drama loves me like a ninja loves his sushi.

Re: WTF? (PLD drama)

Hate to necrobump my own post, but, out of the blue today, I got a tell from this PLD. I'd not talked to her, not messed with her, and since we were in different cities, I can only guess she put me on a list of people to be vindictive twords.

Remember this?

Spoilers: The world is filled with retards.

Oh, trust me, that comment wasn't directed to you personally. I just mean that the threads usually start civil, even if the thread is suppose to have drama (intended in the OP) and then when it seems like we're at a point of neutrality/common ground, it goes off tangent and becomes a flaming drama-filled activity (including who can post faster than the other contests) which actually serves to increase the popularity of said thread.

If this was a Nielson Rating, this would be "Lost" in the WHM forum.

Oooh, Can I be Sun? I love me some Sun. :D I get what you're saying, though, and I knew the comment wasn't directed at me, so all is well :D

(BTW, the new show Heroes is 100 times better than Lost :D)

Re: WTF? (PLD drama)

I like Heroes but I'd probably put it at a tie with Lost. Lost is great one week and great but damn annoying the next week so who knows. Studio 60 is probably my favorite show right now though.

You must admit, however, that Hiro is simply the greatest television character ever created. Ever.

Re: WTF? (PLD drama)

Hmm, I must say as a PLD that I have been in parties where it was near useless to cure myself. I'm not saying the PLD was right in this thought, it was plain stupid.

No what I mean is sometimes you keep a watch on your own HP, and the WHM is practically curing you faster than you can do it, so you'd just be wasting your MP.

But that doesn't mean I wouldn't heal the others when needed. Just saying that sometimes the party dynamics calls that you don't really need to cure yourself through the fights. Watching over your teammates is the least you can do in that situation.

And ur a PLD... umm, a nice effective way to keep hate... is to use ur MP... even when ur being over-cured... but as a PLD you probably already know that..... >_>''

So I guess there's no reason to mention that to use your mp to cast high lvl cures would "add" hate so that the mob stays stapled on you... even if the WHM or other healer accidentally casts a high lvl cure your way.... but as a PLD you probably already know that..... >_>'' So I guess there's no reason to mention that .... right? Even with others over-curing you.. right?... yea...

I usually suggest to ppls who "over cure me" as a PLD to "relax and save your mp" and to cure me when I get in the yellow or orange or very low on MP... then I can see how "over curing" becomes a necessity...but as a PLD you probably already know that... >_>''

Re: WTF? (PLD drama)

And a cure that lands for 0 gives you 0 hate, but as a PLD you already know that, right?

Hate from cures is dependent on the amount cured, the monster's previous hate for the person being cured, and the curer's +/-enmity. Cure V has less hate than normal, either it has an inherent -enmity added to the caster's own, or an extra factor in the equation.

Re: WTF? (PLD drama)

On behalf of the PLD community, I apologize you had to bear witness to that idiot.

Did he/she even Flash at all? What a n00b cake. You had all the right to do what you did to teach a lesson. Though I would have taken a less dramatic approach then hanging him/her off a building for their life lol.

Re: WTF? (PLD drama)

Illuen, what server are you on? That PLD was basically a terrible PLD because she could not time her cures and instead of working at it until she could time them properly she just gave up.

If a PLD can not time their cures and do their job properly they should not give up on part of the job, like curing themselves for hate, and to easy WHM MP drain. They should quit the job entirely.

I'm on Fenrir, on which I've had mostly fantastic experiences with PLD, in fact, I have some fantastic ones on my LS, which is part of the reason this one pissed me off so much. I'm glad to know that I am not alone in my WTFery

Re: WTF? (PLD drama)

I personally think that situation could of been resolved alot easier than just neglecting to do your main duty; when PLD cuts their slack, and the WHM cuts their slack, the party overall are the ones who are going to suffer. I think you should of asked the PLD in a tell at the least if he wouldn't mind curing to keep hate, if it was that much of a problem
And if things didn't work the way you thought, then I think a /kick or /disband would be in order.

But yeah...That PLD...needs to be shot...for not doing what a PLD should do.

Parties have been annihalated because one person was unhappy with something that someone did, and so, the entire party suffered for it.

For me:
Terrigan Cape.
Me (THF), DRK, PLD, RDM, RDM, BLM.

one RDM is designated as main healer, which was Asked consent before they accepted the invite.

Later on in the party, RDM wasn't healing PLD, or giving PLD Refresh. But instead, decided that it's better to melee crabs for 2 points of damage. PLD Nearly dies since other mages are trying to nuke etc.

The DRK parleyed with the RDM...RDM got attitude. DRK kicked the RDM so that the party wouldn't be endangered.

Some people will argue that some EXP is better than none, but for the sake of my own sanity when dealing with idiotic
If people won't cooperate for the betterment of the party, what's the use in partying?
