What does a good party member do?

[Syrphid]

What do you guys look for in a party member?

[Tedio]

fights efficiently.

Does not AFK, ask for pots and the like.

[Chiri]

Friendly, doesn't care about being a 'pro', doesn't wear obnoxious flashy-dyed clothes in dungeon.

Polite and can spell words properly.

Doesn't pull out their thoroughbred to rush through to the next room, unless everyone else has one.

Knows how to hold their own against mobs in dungeon, and knows the difference between messing up someone's combo and helping them finish off something faster. Doesn't get party members killed with their bad tactics.

Isn't the kind to rush to the red spider in Alby4.

If they have to go afk in the middle of the dungeon, they actually say, "be right back," and don't just sit on the floor.



They don't need to be able to 1HKO everything, but they do need to know how to use their skills effectively.

[Liraiyu]

Someone who knows their limits (Total level 50 with nothing but combat mastery ranked up and using daggers going into Ciar int for 4). In other words, they only go on dungeon runs they know they can handle.
Bragging is really annoying, and commenting on people not being as strong/efficient as them annoys me to.
If they talk, proper grammar.

If they pass all that, I'm fine with them.

This.
Other than that. I do not care.
I enjoy carrying people through dungeons. It's fun.


doesn't wear obnoxious flashy-dyed clothes in dungeon.



I ran well over 200-300 dungeons in my red flashied slender robe.
I object.


I Will Remake MY ROBE Again.

[emomutt]

knows healing and knows how to be a support if needed

[Andy-Buddy]

Knows how to not die. Not a burden, but able to support effectively, or tank efficiently.
That, that is a good party member.
(Of course without any of the dickishness.)

[Raj]

Totally. I think skills/damage doesn't matter, as long as they try and know how, as Chiri said.

All of this!!

Yes, knowing limits is SO important!

I think, only Healing, I dunno about support, but eh

[Euffie]

Hmmm people who are able to act according to the situation given and at the same time try to minimize disruptions given to other teammates. =)

of cz, yes, I would love you more if you can heal :T_T:

[Yogurticecream]

People who understand and practice teamwork.

[Raj]

People who understand and practice teamwork.

o.o -Hardest person to find in all of mabinogi-

[Bearhumper]

I like having those people who aren't better than you but brag more than anyone else and die in the funniest ways.

He's a good party member because he provides bonus exp for the feathers you use and is usually the first to rush into a mob and attract the aggro.

[Yogurticecream]

o.o -Hardest person to find in all of mabinogi-
Not really.

I see it as someone who knows when to give to and take from the team. Simple things like healing up a party member or covering up for weaker team mates while not disrupting attacks as much as possible helps a lot. And allowing others in the team to help them when possible.

[Phunkie]

A good party member protects his friends from dying if he or she can.

I've Charged at an enemy chasing my party member in Deadly many times and I've helped them from dying.

Then again, they could have used Play Dead or something.

But yeah, I like saving people from deaths. :)

[Kurezan]

Someone who isn't annoying, and fights to survive. Brings feathers, and doesn't die often.

[Hitaki]

Pika pikachu.

(People who do most or all the work for me. Pika's more comfortable soloing than in parties.)

[Grifter]

Knows how to save when things get messy.

Doesn't screw up your combo -> get you killed.

Knows teamwork.

[Nakishu]

This. Also I hate it if Anyone goes afk in the middle of the dungeon and especially if they have the key.

[Zyrus]

In most parties there are Dominant players. A good party member can support that player making the dungeon run easier. This works both ways. In some dungeon runs I take a backseat and play support which makes the party work better since the strongest person in the room can focus on what they do best. When everyone goes at things full bore (especially in harder dungeons) then often times is the result of mass death. The exception to this is when you have the same skills sets. If all the party members range then its easy to party platy (set up barrier spikes and magnum/ar spamm). If they all melee its generelly a WM party.

Edit: Repeatedly going afk. Bad. Delibritely blowing you up after you said not to (rabbie adv, barri adv) although this can be a fun game between friends. Trying to brag about soloing a dungeon and then constantly needed revs. People who don't bring pots/feathers/ego fud/any dura left on weapons and equips/ or people with excessive foul language.

[oomgomfg]

Does not go "brb msn" in a room filled with burgundy bears.

aka close your damn messenger when you run a dungeon filled with very fast aggro speed mobs.

[Syrion]

someone who is nice

i'd rather die multiple times in a dungeon with someone who is nice and fun to talk to than breeze through it with a jerk

[Athde]

People who can WM support a Mage... I'm not that good at being a mage but it is a slow but sure process :P
IB spam ftw!
I usually converse with someone first to determine whether or not they are a do**he. If they are then no go.

[EndlessDreams]

Someone that can help the party complete the dungeon (or fulfill the purpose of the party). Not all parties exist to do dungeons. Some parties can be for various other things like life skills. Maybe some of them are just partying for chatting together or something.

A bad party member is one that would get in the way such the purpose/goal of the party.

[Ketchup]

People who don't rush through the whole dungeon with their horses, People who know their limits to what dungeon they can do.
People who don't brag on how strong they are. That about it for me.

[Euffie]

The more I read this thread, the more I feel like I will never bee a good party member >.<
:srsly?:

[Tablo]

good points have been brought up. one I can add is
sense of humor. seriously. dungeon/shadow mission can be very boring if there are no jokes being exchanged.

[Kyouriharu]

Someone who does what they're told.

Such as, hit the orb or open chests only when told to. Rush and run when time is against us. Sit when they need to be healed and heal when someone asks (kindly my I add). And, most importantly, help someone asks for it.

[Iyasenu]

yay i'm what looked for in a healer~

also, i like acting as a bolt-stunner so my partner can spam smash
or stuff like that so i can hold on stray aggro that would get in the way of what (i think) my party member's doing.

B> r1 Foresight plox

also healing is nice to have xD

and yeah i hate when, after EVERY room, there can be that one person who has like 8 mounts and right after the doors open again he summons it, rides off, opens the next room, and one of two things usually happen:
1) He dies cuz he didn't crit wm or he couldn't reach everything.
2) He kills them all and gets even further ahead while we're still trying to catch up to him >:[

i myself prefer to be the supporting healer...
but that's cuz it's easy x.x

as long as i can avoid fighting off aggro for too long.
which in shadow missions is pretty darn easy x3

[Cucurbita]

Has more than 1 feather and 2 potions when prepared for dungeon.
Can effectively use teamwork against stronger opponents rather than just interrupting with whatever attack and screwing things up.
Properly aggroing their own, and keeping their ground against their share of the opponents.

Not much more to ask for.

[Chockeh]

Someone who does not mess up your mobs.
Someone who does not go AFK every 5 minutes.
Someone who actually revives you instead of saying they don't wanna waste their feathers.
Someone who can bring the beer and chips to the party.

[bebepanales]

in sync with everyone's fighting. ie: have each other's back.
doesn't constantly ask for heal / mend if they dont heal others.
uses mount when the rest of the party uses mount. (doesn't lag behind by half a floor ㅋ.ㅋ )
doesn't die every 20 seconds.
doesn't steal others' drops/gold.
doesn't leech.
doesn't withold the key.
doesn't afk.
doesn't show off.
talks a little. (silent parties are kind of awkward)

[Cucurbita]

In a serious run: Anyone with r1 windmill, and lots of stamina potions.
In a fomor scroll run: Anyone without r1 windmill, and lots of pheonix feathers.

:D

[ＣＩＲＮＯ]

A joy to dungeon with, that's all I would ask for.

This, and add to that:

Doesn't need to be healed after each room.

It IS annoying when people want YOUR mana to be able to survive for..... 5 seconds longer?

[Fai]

Someone who doesnt afk alot and brings feathers/potions
Someone who will heal party members when they obviously need the heal and is reduced to healing themselves
Someone who is a bit talkative.

but obviously party members don't need to be perfect :XD:

[Bankai231]

You should stop dungeoning with me. ;D

[Earthquake]

I only dungeon with friends and guildmates > >. Dungeoning with strangers, I don't know when to help them with a monster or when to hit an orb without asking. A good party member to me is just one who knows when to help out, doesn't hoar the kills/drops and remembers when they have to open the door before afk'ing with a key.

[Juno]

Anyone with basic combat skills and decent etiquette. Simply one of the two is never enough.
