This applies a bit to monster hunter. Not wanting to join public parties because of the goddamn triple carters dying while looting shinies.
SteveMND
This speaks to me. So deeply.
Mitheledh
This would be me in a nutshell.
AppleOfClowns
I love the DBZ one. XD
fauxglove
I feel you.
kelseatheslut
this was me until I discovered FCs and found easily relatable pals. hey, any other fellow Midgardsormr server peoples??
Mizhak13
This is so my life in game.
AwildaHeern50
Anyways, you should transfer back and we can play!
EmperorBlarg
Lone wolves unite separately!
ecodude
One thing I enjoyed about the division's dark zones, is that even the lone wolves had to cooperate to succeed sometimes.
MildTiger
This is what happened when I realized I couldn't replace a close-knit guild.
dawhiter
This was exactly me experience in ff14 except i was a black mage.
Saeryf
I completely understand this. I love playing MMOs, but I don't like actually being social, which is weird because I'm social automatically.
understandable
You can never rely on anyone but yourself!

I used to love playing Ragnarok online with my school friends because they would lend me cool items. Tried to play it by myself, it sucked
Drunkfu
I recall that game, I remember initially digging it because it looked like Secret of Mana online or something.
MoonMoon1995
OMG she is a beater :o
Drunkfu
hahah I wish
stonermanat420weedstreetdotcom
This is why I only buy single-player games.
oskar4498
Cuz fuck having to multi-player.
stonermanat420weedstreetdotcom
Actually I lied I do have some multiplayer games and if anyone wants to coop I'm hella down. Not interested in dm tho. Just coop.
FiguredOutHowToChangeMyUsername
This is my gaming. My gamer bf cannot comprehend but it's like I have virtual social anxiety or something....
tcgl
This is how I played WOW. I hated talking to people. I also sucked at that game and died constantly.
ICantDecideOnAUserNameAndKeepChangingIt
This is exactly why I can't get into MMORPGs. The first 15-20 levels are great. Then you need to start doing /party quests/.
PlesiosaurWithElementsOfAnIdeaOfTheLochNessMonsterBoy
FF 14 doesn't have any world group quests, it does have some story quests that require you to queue up for a dungeon, that's it.
Drunkfu
For some reason in MMOs I've always loved the starting game, making a new character from scratch and leveling up about half way to the end
ICantDecideOnAUserNameAndKeepChangingIt
It's the immediate reward. You level up so fast at first, but it slows down. The extra time/effort needed to level up is no longer worth it.
InternationalPhoneticAlphabet
to be fair, i have the same experience in most single player games as well. idk, maybe actively trying to be social might be worth a try
Drunkfu
noooo dont do it!
InternationalPhoneticAlphabet
>> ... how popular a catgirl healers are played by dudes?
TracyKay
God. This is exactly why I had to stop playing WoW and a few other mmos. I can't stand people for long at all.
MrFastZombie
Me and my friend did a dungeon, this guy kept rolling need on everything, even things he couldn't use.
TracyKay
I heard that's a legit problem in mmos. Like, those kinds of people get banned from guilds.
theonetheycallmonk
This speaks to me on so many levels...
LimesAreCool
ARE YOU FUCKING SORRY
Drunkfu
I'm a shameless meme recycler. I'll also steal jokes if I like them enough.
trroesink
was looking for this comment
StrokeableRedBeard
This explains why I'm content to play Skyrim by myself for way too long.
XIIIRoxas13
Is that why I'm STILL playing that dang game after I said "I quit" so many times before? It all makes sense now.
TheRealRedQueen
Yeah, still playing it lol. Considering jumping back into oblivion as well.
PreciousPotato
3rd char, 1000+hours in Skyrim by now. I haven't even finished the main quest, yet. ^^
10champ10
Bethesda does a way too good job on those RPGs.
Stewker
Yeah, I just play a DPS anymore. That way I can be anti-social, don't have to lead, and can top the dps charts. Less stress, more glory!
Punnilingus
Pfft if I wasn't a healer I needed to be top of the DPS, I'll fucking tank the shit out of everything and AOE to get top DPS. I need it!
Espriteador
100% agree from far away
ThatOneDemon
I used to just do DPS, but then I tried healing and I love it. It's like playing god. If there is a DPS who is a dick, no more heals for him
Onyxalchemyst
More queue time!
RaekinTheBored
The queue struggle is real.
DjRoh
Nothing like the satisfaction of topping the DPS chart. The WAR update even has me trying to compete with other DPS players. lol
Drunkfu
I used to always be DPS myself... until I learned that healing is basically the same thing in reverse and you get a better queue time~
AnUnknownErrorOccurred
As long as you bum-rush the healers and casters (and ignore the tanks), I'll gladly heal the silent dps.
Textuality
I literally JUST picked up FF14 last night, and finished downloading/patching everything today. Going to give it a whirl this evening. :)
Espriteador
It is a perfect place to be lonely
Textuality
I haven't been lonely at all yet. If I wanna chat, I'll just strike up a conversation in the novice channel. :)
Espriteador
There is aChannel?
sahold
You wasted your money, ff14 WAS phenomenal game, but SE completely fucked the entire thing over in the expansion.
Textuality
I haven't bought the expansion yet. I just picked up the main game, since the exp said it was for 50+ levels.
sahold
The base game is exceptional, a ton of fun with immersive story etc. but the expansion made abysmally terrible decisions both in (1/2)
sahold
the story, and the worst class design i have ever seen in any game. everything is designed where you fight AGAINST your OWN abilities. (2/2)
Textuality
Huh. That's ... odd. I guess if I ever get to that point I'll decide if I wanna get it or not. :)
sahold
Imagine a car where the wheel and gas sensitivity constantly change, a manual transmission with 2 sticks where only 1 works at a time, (1/2)
sahold
and its random which one each time you press the clutch, and the wheels keep moving on their own left and right. that about sums it up. (2/2
FoxButts
For the people that are playing (or considering) FFXIV. Gamestop.com is having a sale for the bundle for $17.99 or $8.99 for the base game.
FoxButts
Bundle includes the base game and Heavensward expansion, so you'd be able to play the race that's in the comic (Au Ra).
sahold
Dont waste your money, not till SE fixes the mess they made of the game with the expansion.
Cvrsive
Legitimate thanks for the heads up. I was considering paying full price for this.
Azrael94
I was the same way when I started XIV... being an antisocial healer is weird.
Foxhack
As an antisocial TF2 Medic... no, not really. :)
InternationalPhoneticAlphabet
how has it worked out for you? im pretty awkward generally, playing as healer might force me in the right direction ...
Azrael94
It helped quite a bit; I would say that and getting in a good Free Company (or guild) both played a big role in changing how social I was
KichiUK
Azrael94
Oh my god this is painfully accurate! Replace the staff with a book and that's me lol
KichiUK
"Get out of the fire, get out of the fire, get out of the fire... and you're dead. Dumbass."
SpaceBrotha
And that's why WoW's priest spell "leap of faith" is the best spell in an mmorpg ever: it allows you to pull idiots out of the fire
SaltheartFoamfollower
Dark Souls' multiplayer design is perfect for when you want to co-op or pvp, but don't really want to interact with people.
SpaceBrotha
The message/ghost/bloodstain system is in many ways brilliant, it creates a feeling of mutual struggle without having to meet anyone
BrownieInc
I'm considering starting FFXIV o.o if anyone wants to join me or is playing and wants a friends, ill join you. pls. i need more friends q.q
UncoolWalrus
I might join!... after I finish my transfer applications to universities T-T
sahold
Dont. they screwed the game up REALLY badly when the implemented the expansion, and they still havent bothered fixing most of it.
korochuun
Faerie representing here! :) Faerie's super fun and cool and I have a lovely house, if anyone wants to join in my shenanigans.
SilentMoon
I'm on Lamia, although you've gotten offers from plenty of others, if you happen to be on my server send me a message!
Suave415
I'm on Coeurl.....I wouldn't recommend it, it's a low populated server.
pakrat54
Sargatanas needs you join our server!
HeyLookABunny
I'm on hyperion with a great FC and we like to teach people new stuff! If you pick my server just let me know. :)
Textuality
I just picked up the game last night. Going to make some characters this evening. :)

Question, is there character customization in ff? like fallout?
Kimigiku
I have a free company I can invite you to on Coeurl. Likewise, if any other imgurians are on Coeurl, I'd love to meet you. Cx

EU Cerberus server, gimme a shout if anyone's interested :D
RyilSyer
I play on Balmung and I love it! I hope you like it if you get into it!! :DDDDD
Drunkfu
I joined Balmung too cuz of the potential RP folks! But also its always creation locked so I dont need to worry about helping friends-
Drunkfu
- or people who may join if I tell them I'm on it >.>
RyilSyer
Lol. The rp is fantastic!! Add me if you'd like, Kailani Daito
ICantComeUpWithAPunnyName
c...can we be friends even though i dont play ffxiv? :c
BrownieInc
Yes. Yes we can. Pm me if you ever wanna talk :P
Espriteador
I'm palying at faeris somewhere
scatter
I played for a bit, but I couldn't get into it without people to play with.
BlueCanaryInTheOutletByTheLightSwitch
I'm Z'attano Rhiku on Mateus server. Mateus is mostly friendly and drama-free, not too crowded.
Drunkfu
I've never really minded drama as long as I could watch it from a safe distance and eat popcorn.
aureliusflavius
Aurelius Flavius on Mateus, doooo eeeet.
Stewker
I would play if I hadnt burned out play'n that game at release. Was in a top-ish guild, going for a top 10 kill on Turn 5. 1/2
Stewker
Fuck that dragon, finally got him and got into the top 10 world for a kill, but fucking A. I couldn't fucking stand the game after that.
Sturdycrotch
Eh, I played it for 7 months and wasn't impressed with the late game (or the main story). Guild Wars 2 is so much better, and it has no sub
Drunkfu
I really enjoyed GW2 when it first came out, and its a super pretty game. I love the exploring and jumping puzzles in it, FF14 needs that
GandalfUnicorn
How so? Guild Wars 2 didn't impress me much, where as FFXIV has me routinely coming back.
Sturdycrotch
Combat is archaic, I felt 0 investment in any or all characters in the quests except for the shitty detective guy, and overall the questing
Sturdycrotch
Is just dull and fairly grindy. I will say though that FF-XIV looks beautiful and the Coerthas area actually had some real atmosphere to it
Sturdycrotch
But all the other zones just felt so....bland. Also I absolutely hate having to use multiple hotbars when in combat to do stuff, hence why
Bearmageddon
Sargatans is always poppin!
Hlarvyne
Glad I switched over to this server!
AltenniaMecru
Altennia Mecru here! One of the Captains of JP Button!

On adamantoise just message me if you Have questions
ZoaBallardkain
What FC are you in? Im on adamantoise too!
Aderaen
Im leader of the FC :)

nyaore
Fair warning, you NEED to do group content to advance in this game. Dungeons are mandatory for progressing the story.
nyaore
And also progressing with your Grand Company as well. You can avoid them, but the devs make it HARD to full solo.
KichiUK
Yes but the Duty Finder system is quite good, and pulls from the server cluster, not just your set server. Endgame content has to be formed
nyaore
I'm aware. I have several 50 classes and am working on my second 60. xD I'm just saying that if you want a soloable MMO, this is not it.
Barrum
As a tank in all games I play, my tanking prowess doubles when drunk
astroxzombie
I love me a good tank. ;)
Mwogeneral
As a tank in wow i would take a shot whenever the dps stood in the fire. I was drunk alot.
Textuality
Almost every time I got complimented on my tanking in MMOs was when I was half asleep. If I'm awake I second guess myself too much. :)
NexiKuro
Ugh, post and comments like this make me want to tank again, agro management/not-dying-but-getting-as-close-as-possible was my jam.
Genuphobatastic
You're the kind of tank that gives us healers heart attacks, aren't you?
AnalGlass
The fun kind of tank!
SpaceBrotha
As a healer: sure it does...
StaticDisplay
I leveled a pally from 15 to 72 in WoW almost exclusively from getting drunk and queuing in LFG as a tank. I would always announce at (1/?)
StaticDisplay
the beginning of the run "I am piss drunk so I'm just gonna run and kill stuff, healer yell if you need me to stop". Probably the most (2/?)
StaticDisplay
social I ever played and fairly effective as well. (I stress way too much to tank when I am sober.) (3/3)
MildTiger
...either I ran a dungeon with you, or it was with someone doing the exact same thing.
Cassiopeia93
As someone who pretty much only plays healers, I love having people like you tank, it makes the boring dungeons challenging again.
Drunkfu
I relate so much
