Alright so I'm not the type to do anything but browse, but this late (early?) reddit seems like my only hope to get a message to someone.
I'm lvl 50 white mage and literally just today bought the dlc, so I'm not necessarily an experienced player. I've been bumbling along, and I've loved how kind everyone is about it, but sometimes that lack of experience means a dungeon is just. Awful, and you try it a million times and you don't manage it at all. Its nearly 2 am here, and I'd been trying against this primal since I logged in yesterday, so around 9 or 10 pm?
Each time I entered we inevitably gave up, and I had kinda accepted that this wasn't gonna happen today. And the last one I try, there's a scholar with the username Dev Valentine. After the first like, two or three tries? They started coaching us! Tips and tricks and HIGHLIGHTING areas on the map where we're less likely to get hit. I didn't know you could DO that. They coordinated us with a solid plan for where the tanks should hold the primal and gave me advice on how to use my spells to keep alive long enough to help keep everyone ELSE alive, and all of this was between and during attempts. I can't count how many times we died, but on god by halfway through I was following Dev like a little duckling. If they walked in a direction, I walked in that direction. If they lost health I prioritized them because honestly, it is not an exaggeration when I say they were singlehandedly getting us through this.
I don't know how common this is in-game, since this is the first time a dungeon has been so absurdly stubborn, but it isn't common in any other games I play and I can't imagine the patience and knowledge it takes to advise an entire full party and know enough about each class to help us the way they did in something as complicated as ffxiv.
And I post all this because Dev then proceeded to pull a Cinderella by IMMEDIATELY exiting once we were done, and when I tried to send them a thank you... They were from another server, so I couldn't get a message across!! So even if I have no clue if this'll get to them, I want to thank them for turning a dungeon I was slowly starting to hate into a fantastic memory. I grin just remembering how we got closer and closer every time and how stubborn you were no matter how close we got to time running out, and I appreciate your kindness tonight more than I can say.
