Nah, you're fine on that for at least a week.
Unless you're a tanker. Â Then you've got three or four days, max, to be an expert at all the contents ever. Â XD

It's times like this I'm glad I main SCH on Gogon. I'm going to hit the content first with him, so the most I'll have to deal with is "OH GOD, WHY DO THEY HIT SO HARD" and spamming heals.
With Chachan maining PLD, though... I'll have to pay closer attention than usual for when I go through with him. |

I've never had any trouble just by speaking up at the start of a run. "Hey, first time here. Anything tricky I should know about?"
Most of the time on patch day, that's true for 4/4 of the people running anyway. 'Fessing up about it defuses a lot of tension, especially when people start dying to mechanics. Full admission: My first Brayflox Hard was with 4 people who had ZERO IDEA how to handle the bomb phases on the last boss. Wiped probably half a dozen times before realizing the AoE wasn't the side of the arena. We were trying to blow all the bombs into one side, and that worked about as well as you'd think it did. When in doubt, be exceedingly, excruciatingly honest. "Hi, I'm your tank and I'm going to kill us all several times. Work with me." |

You have a lot more confidence in the goodwill and patience of those playing this game in DF than I do.

To me, I do almost everything but high-tier stuff in DF. I vent more about smaller things but I'd honestly say I probably am genuinely upset by anyone in DF maybe 2 times a week.
For the amount of times I play, I think that's a pretty good amount. I remember I was sick 2.4 launch. Day of we all said we were new. Whatever right? No one bitched when we wiped on the first two Qarn HM bosses. or the Sastasha HM 1st boss. Snowcloak we didn't welp cause I'm just too good at healing (jk) while ignoring the mechanics. I died once in the last boss cause I has healing and didn't see people moving behind the icicle and I was too late and got chomped on. The reaction by the groups were "LOL now we know." |

If you can get in on it early, now is the time to do new content. Everyone's on the same page.

Mhm, I did my blind runs of WP/AK HMs already with full blind groups, and we only wiped once (on AKHM 1st boss). They're not bad, mechanically-speaking.
Edit: Oh and the 2nd AKHM boss too, 2spooky. |
