I feel like I should introduce myself. I’m Lexi I’ve been playing xiv since 2.5, I’ve been raiding since HW
I also have a niche presence in the xiv community, I used to run the FFXIV dating group on FB and we had a discord, I’m also a moderator in the FFXIV Dawntrail FB group
In Dec of 2021 my vision got blurry and was doubling, after Christmas I went to the ER where they found 27+ spots on my brain , because of my medical history with cancer I needed multiple biopsies to determine it was indeed MS.
During the surgery I had a lot of bleeding that also left me with a damaged part of my left frontal lobe
I used to be an avid raider in xiv, truthfully it was my main enjoyment of the game
So anyway with the release of Dawntrail and 2 yrs of recovery I have decided to do the raid tier on content. Thankfully I have a wonderful group of people helping me but I want to share my journey here like I do on FB
So far: I cleared M1S on week 1 M2S on week 2, I took a break for M3S the team I was running with was a little intense for me because we were doing every day so now we run 2 days a week weds/thursday
The new group has been running 3 weeks now, our group consists of a Viper and Gunbreaker who are honestly amazing and cleared the tier week 1, our OT had some experience with raid but many of our group has never seen savage
Week 1 together we cleared 1 and 2, we got to sub 35% on M3S on our first time as a group
I would like to keep posting updates how the experience is for me like I do in the Dawntrail group as it feels like a huge accomplishment from having to learn how to balance and hold my bladder after the surgery to being able to perform raid mechanics
I really hope people take interest in my journey I would really love to have as much support as I can muster, as much fun as it is it’s still an incredibly emotional journey given everything that happened since my surgery.
We raid together with on Weds so I’ll post my feelings on it and maybe our logs so you can see how I improve over time
Thanks if you stuck around to read all this it’s a lot
Tl;dr I got brain damage and now I’m trying to run raids on content. Insert joke about quality of PF people here
