Hello! To be honest I'm a garbage player and I'm so stressed over it.
I got ffxiv because the story looked really interesting, I loved all the fanart and when it was on sale in the playstation store I thought well why not?
The thing is though I have never played a MMO ever. My go to games are rpg, (pokemon, zelda, .etc), and if there is an easy setting, I choose the easiest option available because I'm not challenge driven, I'm story driven.
So far, I've been really enjoying myself! But uh dungeons are a lot more frequent now and I've been avoiding them.. I can't progress the story without them though...
I'm a tank, pld. Did not think this through. I wasn't really aware when making my character what uh choosing your job/town entailed. Yes I'm that green. I didnt know what aoe or aggro meant starting out.
This has gotten me into some bad runs unintentionally. I wasn't aware that uh hard modes changed mechanics really, idk why I didnt think to consider, I was just wanting to get back to the story line. It was my first hard mode, Ifrit, I ended up pissing off my whole party as they thought I was trolling when uh I really was completly overwhelmed and not sure what was happening in the slightest. A bit of panic really. I thought I was failing my job as I kept losing aggro not noticing that aggro was being taken from me because there was an aoe that I wasn't even aware of happening. We didn't wipe but dang I felt crappy. Especially after consulting with my FC and they explained the mechanics. Its honestly been eating me up inside and I'm so anxious over dungeons in general. now.
Yes I do have an anxiety disorder and am currently undergoing treatment. Just started CBT.
So I usually try to team up with FC for my dungeons. But I'm such a crap player even though I try to absorb all the advice and guidance I get my hands on, I think they're getting tired of running with me.
Is there resources you suggest? And advice on how to practice? Hot bar set up suggestions?
I'm lv.52 currently. Thank you.
