i'm thinking about changeing jobs. or even possably leaveing the game. spent the last week bounceing from 41 to 42. Bismarck seems to have no need for warriors. every sub is leveled up. got the best gear i can get. and still nothing. or if i get a party. they have no idea what they are doing.

maybe i'm just playing the wrong job. i wanted to get war to 75 then the other tanking jobs. but its never going to happen.

most likely at work. i had a semi set group from 30-40. was useing nin sub with a nin/war. was great. 3 levels sometimes 4 a night. but it didn't last they where just working on subjobs /cry

this morning i was in for over 6 hours. no invites. couldn't make my own party cus only Japanese where on. it ended up me and a Whm. a whm!! sitting with flags up cus all the japanese where refuseing to party with us.

between warrior hate. and english player hate. i'm loseing it

sitting with a whm. as a war/nin/thf/mnk. and looking at 2 japanese rng, a japanese smn, 3 japanese thf, and a japanese drk. and all of them refuseing to make a party cus we don't speak japanese was very frustrating

Man that sucks >.< What kind of hours to you play? I usually try asking the Japanese LFG and if you can just get one of them to join, then ask them to invite the others, it works well. I have had many good parties that were all Japanese that were organized by me ^^

I Hear you my firend the thing i have been noticing is theat there are are shortage of Tanks at lvl 41? at least in CN i am a 41RDM and i Hear ya when it comes to gettting a party I dont get envite as quick as i did with my WHM or BLM and that parties i have been in Either were really really bad or Really Really Good ( Wintaru is Great to Party with BTW ). Last night for example i got an invite and it took the leader of the Party over an hour to get a full pty and even then there was so much down time since we have a lvl 44pally we were Fighting Exorays and hornflys and Mushuus(?)(scorpions) its was really bad and XP sucked i just had enough of it and logged. I do feel you pain though and If you want since we are the same Level and if anyone reading this post is Interested lets Start a Static Party so we wont have to worry about it anymore ^^

ive been experiencing the same problem with my warrior. currently level 29 cuz i deleveld from 30, but i can never seem to find a party. And in the event i do its a bunch of noobs tha want me to run to whole thing tank/pull/damage and everything else. God forbid i should throw in the paladin sub because then i get harassed to main heal! WAR/PLD as main healer? i have like 24 mp and only cure 1. Warriors do seem to be in low demand on this server.

Thanks Machtaru for the kind words:) I certainly try.

I would point out that even as a WHM it's about impossible to get a group going, many times I would pull the party together and be missing a tank and we would end up disbanding because there were none available.

Keep the faith man, it should get better, and you can always post here for a set group.

I will be honest in saying it really just depends. After level 30 (I am only 33 highest job) I have noticed a shortage in tanks, almost as bad as WHM shortage.

I do not know what you sub, but when I try WAR/NIN as opposed to WAR/MNK my invites went nuts. WAR/NIN Dual Weilding Axes kicks ***, period.

Hey Satlan, long time no see. It's Chops. I couldn't get my own name.. so I had to add an "s" onto my allakhazam name. Anyway, those were some incredible leveling days when we went from 30-40 in a few days. Sorry to hear that you can't any parties. Seems like any party leader would jump all over your WAR/NIN combo, like I did. Pre-37, 2 blink tanks alternating hate = literally no down time. It was great.. sorry that we stopped at 40. Brock just needed to level his SMN for his WHM main, and I was just leveling NIN for the fun of it, and maybe for a few BCNM 40 fights here and there. Fun days..

All I can say is just try to form your own groups. Sometimes it sucks, but just keep at it. I've waited up to 3 hours to find the perfect mix of jobs, but it all pays off in the end. I started up another semi-static as my THF. Leveled it up from 29 to 51 in just under 3 weeks, only partying every other day or so. I waited and waited and waited.. but finally the right members would come along and the experience points would roll in. Hang in there man, you'll make it. I still can't see why a WAR/NIN isn't getting invited to parties.. especially since you have both axe and great axe leveled up.

hey Chops! ya they just stopped at level 42, so i leveled monk and thf sub up to try and see if maybe that was the demand, still no bites. after being in the outlands with ya from 30-40, CN is just dunes all over again.

maybe i will just level up pld instead. or go back to my whm mithra

Yeah I would have to agree I think everyone has problems getting parties after Kazham. I'm a white mage and still it takes me forever to get a party and sometimes I get party invites when I wasn't looking to party and I'll take them because they're my only chance. If anyone needs a level 40 white mage look no further than me! I'm always interested in a good party! ^^

/sigh another 6 hours wasted today. not a single invite. nothing to start a party. no rdm or whm. i think the LFG system is listing me as a drg/blm or something

You have to wait if there isnt enough people LFP around your level.

You have to think about what other jobs you could play instead of hoping for people to log on that happens to be around you lvl and LFP.

Did you use the search function effectively ?

yes it even lists all my possable subs, and today i was waiting from 12pm-5pm est. i would see a pld go up lfp, and know that i would now be waiting another hour as he vanishes from the list in less then 2 min.

yeah i am currentlu a war/sam, and use a GA.
i guess i can tank, but not as well as a war/nin or a war with a sword, or of course, a pld
i dont get pt invites alot, and when i do, the pts usually want me to tank.
