FFXIV Shorts - Typical Mentor Roulette Experience 

Time elapsed? Passed?

I like seeing that actually. Cuz one, it's usually more interesting than being shoved into a regular 90 dungeon just for headcount. Even better if it's one of the newbie killer trials and I join as healer. Two, I genuinely enjoy the challenge and helping people so long as I got time (always take that into consideration with mentor roulette). Ofc that stops being the case if no one reads chat or listens to the advice. In that case we go straight to number 3, you can just leave if it's an actually bad situation. It's a game, take it in stride and assume fun to be had, Mentors don't have to be perfect either and soon your fears will evaporate

Try a SHB Extreme. Especially one like Varis EX, with a sprout that doesn't even know what clock spots means and says "lol idc lets just beat him"

Thats the normal trial...

@@horyzon3143 I know but typically the reason people hate join in progress is because it's usually an ex trial

The extremes aint that bad honestly and i like teaching people the mechanics if they are open to listening to them

@@ShadowSeroZoul we need more people like you that help newer players, good stuff man!

@@ShadowSeroZoul Ramuh EX is the worst. I tried to explain the fight to sprouts for 30 mins ( I joined in progress ). They didnt listen and we didnt see the fight past add phase

@@filthycasualgaming9715 idk, felt like one of the easier ones for me personally, garuda was harder xD

@@filthycasualgaming9715 Seriously. Tried it for a while with half an FC group, and no DPS would :ever: listen about attacking the adds, even the mentors. Because, of course, you don't have to attack the adds in unsynced, and what they've done in the past overwrites all human cognition for most endgame FF players.

For every bad one you get you get at least one good one such as a dungeon at the last boss or even an alliance roulette actively fighting the last boss so you literally have to do nothing but wait 5 minutes for a free clear. But most of the time they are "meh" like someone left at the start of a dungeon because they didn't like THAT dungeon that much or something.

To be honest i didnt use trust either i just like learning with randoms but it was like day 4 or something after release

@@ShadowSeroZoul I don't even use trust for learning, that's just a bonus. I use it for the quick queues and because from a story perspective it makes sense to do it with the scions.

You cannot get hydi ex through trial roulette

@@timbrady1176 But this isn't extreme.

@@Gamemaster-64 whoops you right D:! xD

If people are willing to learn instead of insta flame you for being mentor its nice XD

@@ShadowSeroZoul yeah hah .. thankfully no bad experiences yet. My bad experiences have been with mentors joining to fill then insta leaving. Pretty sad behaviour. The sprouts have been better (but this is quite common)

until they add better looking mount >:)

U don't deserve that mount cuz u basically only doing this for that without mentoring anyone, u supposed to continue doing that to teach new ppl but who am I talking to this community is the most lazy u have ever seen they only do stuff for something

You can only get old expansion EX trials, you cannot get current expansion extreme trials in the roulette. This is Hydaelyn normal

@@THiiro Yeah was gonna say if this was EX they wouldn't be able to kill those crystals like that with the add there.

I don't see anyone bitching about it in any way. XD not sure where this reaction is comming from but i hope you have a good day
