What Grinds Your Gears?

Neg, if you have your cursor on someone and they blink, you'll lose target, whether it be sub target or main target. The way around this is to not be a noob healer make your macro /ma cure <stpc>. Then you just hit the F button that corresponds with who you want to cure right before you hit enter.

Something happened in Dynamis tonight that made me laugh and think of this thread. We were manaburning an Orc NM in Sandy (to avoid Charmga) and between nukes, when the NM was asleep, a Summoner put Garuda on it and told her to assault, subsequently waking the NM up. Everyone was spamming sleep and the Summoner kept Garuda on it. Took a sack yelling for him to dismiss it.

When everyone asked him why he did that, he goes "Wrong macro" XD

So I said, "You have a macro to summon Garuda, target the nearest NPC, then assault the NPC?".

He said "Sorta yeah".

So what grinds my gears? People who do silly things and blame macros!



I use "/ma Cure IV <t>" and just use the F buttons. Same result =P

Learn your damn job... seriously

Only scrubs use macros for magic! Are you a scrub?
Damn right you are.
Scrub.

Stolen from another thread: People who like fruit on their pizza D:

Also: You die in Campaign, you get raise, you get exp.
You die in Besieged however, and you get nothing except the imperial standing reward.

wut?

Would be cool if SE could fix something this easy. They seem to have made it possible in campaign anyway.

The other thing that bugs me is when people in Campaign pull (and link) all the mobs and take their party of buddies off to some secluded area in <zone> and hold the mobs for what could possibly be 20-30 minutes. Stack on the idea that I even bother to go out looking for the 10 mobs that are missing makes this a real pain.

People who mistaken tarutarus for footballs ;_;

Tarutaru's who don't accept that they're midgets, and commonly mistaken for small objects.

Their excuse is that it's a "zone" into an alternate Al Zahbi and the EXP is actually rewarded during the CS. After the CS you zone, losing progress. Like Tractor during the actual fighting.

Another thing that grinds my gears is a relic you're up for not dropping in six months, then as soon as you get it wants to drop twice each time in the next three runs. Damn you, relic rates.

<lasttpc>

When Dark Ixion is pointed in the complete opposite direction, focused solely on your tank, and Lightning Spear somehow manages to go a complete 180 and nail you in the face. Perhaps Ixion has the ability to ***lightning or something?

lol at least you didn't get bound after doing cannonball then vertical cleave. then eating a wrath of Zeus >.<;

I haven't had the joy of going BLU to Dark Ixion yet. Maybe some day. Only another 15k to 73...

I've never seen Dark Ixion, I'd love to do HNM if it weren't for all the camping... and the *** that camp them.

slacker! ah well at least the drops were good.

its a fun fight if your a BLU, can't say much for other jobs on it.

Is that the one to keep them targeted while they gear swap? not really a big syntax user but that might be it.

Also what really grinds my gears is "WALL OF TEXT" please paraphrase. . .lol don't have 20min to read what you are trying to get across. . .because I am too busy running to [S] and not shouting for a Retrace xD. But yeah, WoT's sucks because interest in the topic is lost when there are 7500 characters in the gd box.

One thing that grinds my gears is we're not allowed to have signatures on cursed/uncursed armor. Seems pretty lame that it's obtained via crafting and abj yet doesn't alow the creator to personalize it.

I don't know what <lasttpc> is supposed to do, but I tried it out when I read that and got command errors, so maybe it's a typo, or maybe it's bs, or maybe it's some windower thing that I wouldn't know about. Either way, I think me and Woooodum both already said the easiest way around the missing cures due to gear swaps. You can still target someone in the brief period that they're still invisible after a gear swap (or longer periods in high lag) but you will lose target if your target is on them when they go invisible, so you just gotta be quick with macro > target > enter, or target > macro > enter or whatever floats your boat. I tend to tank a lot in nyzul isle thanks to pure damage output and no-one has ever complained about my blinking, 'cause I do blink a LOT, so really I think it's just something that mages need to get used to. Then again a rdm friend that I don't do nyzul with really struggled at first when we duo'd imps (mainly just so I can get chains faster while not spamming echo drops), she silena'd and cured herself a few times, 'cause I have one build for head butt/utsu and another for spells, and I generally alternate spell > head butt > spell > head butt, so I'm constantly blinking, and then I'll use magic hammer and that's another build all together, and then I swap out dusk gloves and put on w.legs and run off. She got the hand of it pretty quick though and it wasn't really an issue after 10-20 minutes. So yeah, as me and Woooodum already said, it's pretty easy to get around with some quick targeting. What annoys me way more than a pld changing gear, is a pld that won't *** stand still at the start of a fight. If I'm blu/thf I wanna TA disseverment as early as possible so I can run around to the back, use savage blade/expiacion without pulling hate and then pound the mob with some real damage. If the pld doesn't stop moving though, I can't land TA and the mob is half dead by the time I cast disseverment, and then there's no point me doing a self SC because it'll do 3k damage when the mob has 1k HP left.

Actually all I really wanted to say, is <3 WoT

Aye ; ; You'd think it would be pretty easy coding to transfer the signature from the cursed armour to the uncursed gear

Wall o Text grinds my gears

(Cute, but quote pyramid deleted because it was breaking users' web browsers. -Jaerik)

oh shi... over did that a little O_O

edit: took one or two or ten out <_<

Wow... Ya... that was a little much. :/

(Cute, but massive quote pyramid deleted because it was breaking users' web browsers. -Jaerik)

Damn, you replied before I got a chance to edit mine so it didn't make the page twice as wide <_<

Suddenly, my own thread is grinding my gears.
Damn you, quotation pyramid!
Damn you!
>:|

my bad, I started evil ; ;

What really seems to bother me is when you need to leave a party, and you give them plenty of warning 30-45 minutes at least, and no one says anything about it ><. then you remind them every 5-10 minutes and still no reply from anyone. They could at least say understood...

As long as it isnt taken overboard like the LL thread..
