The Official Forum fail thread: This game wasn't meant for alts.

He'll let us have our cake and eat it too! http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...anaka-back-now

[Black]

can we have tanaka back now please

[BrokenWings]

pugs these days can carry whole turn 9 if you just wanna clear it for final coil

you only need to be alive for the ghost phase to push into last phase with only 1 heavensfall and you can pretty lie on the ground the entire fight after that

NA servers prolly can buy runs idk

yeah we've sold T9 with the person being dead the whole time. 2 ghosts is "safe" but we can do one.

[ReticentHedgehog]

So it's been pretty fun watching the horror and schadenfreude pile up as people try to interpret the intentionally vague "temporary prohibition" after withdrawing from 3 DF queues. But now it's just getting stupid.

The sane:

No where does it say locked out for a full day... people have just jumped on this, because it says timer will be reset, timer reset not the same as penalized time.

And the insane reply:

Correct. Essentially you are locked out until 9am. So if you are playing at 8:59am go ahead and blow your 3 strikes, you'll get 3 new ones in 1 minute. But if you blow your 3 strikes at 9:01am you're screwed until tomorrow.

Edit: I can't link yet, but it's on page 6 of "Our cries have been answered!"

[Cutriss]

It's ambiguous. I think a bunch of people here are under the belief (as was I) that it's an up-to-24-hour lockout. I just had to go back and reread it.

I really don't think you can claim that those that thought it would be 24-hour are insane. I could certainly see that and I'm not alone.

[Seravi Edalborez]

Yeah I assumed just locked out until daily reset myself.

[Raldo]

Holy balls, that's a bit extreme. I wonder if it can keep you from entering full-party duties. I forget if the current duty-drop lockout matters for duties entered with a full group.

[Kirbyprime]

Eh, you have 3 strikes, I wouldn't care either way.

Pretty sure it does.

[Ratatapa]

So many OF threads about people happy for the 'penalty'

[Lucavi]

I'm not un-happy about the penalty, lol. I fucking hate dodgers wasting my time, and I say this as a tank that gets the pick of the litter whenever I want. It was complete bullshit in Frontlines before they hotfixed it, and since content that involves 24 people teaming up isnt going anywhere, its better to nix that shit now than keep it going.

[Kaisha]

I'm unhappy about it because you still can't do partial alliance queues, which means the only method of reliably getting more than one group queue'd for Frontline got shat on.

Oh fuck didn't think about that. Premade squad ded again.

[Alkimi]

A 5 minute penalty for hitting withdraw or allowing the timer to run down would have been fine tbh. Would make "fishing for in-progress" a waste of time and be almost always quicker just doing the whole dungeon.

[ReticentHedgehog]

I read it again since I came across it at work. At first I thought the guy was just ignoring that the wording was ambiguous and just jumping in with the crowd that's making noise about it being a day-long lockout from the DF.

[Korialstrasz]

Wanna know the easiest way to get around the lockout penalty for withdrawing 3 times when your queue pops? Don't fucking withdrawal ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

inb4 the counter for withdrawing is broken if in-progress is selected

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...t-for-the-rich!

Vanya Silk? Twinthread? Demimateria II? Seriously, enough with limiting vanity to the ultra-rich or ultra-high-level-in-everything players. This is unacceptable. You have no idea how to do a crafting OR a vanity system correctly, and you've shown it multiple times over the past half year or so.

I understand the desire to have high-end, 'luxury' vanity, and would have absolutely no problem with it.. if you were to actually balance it with lower-craft-level vanity gear as well. But you don't. Everything purely vanity in this game requires ridiculously high crafting skill level, or tons of money.

Figure it out.

[Niiro]

I have to believe that's a troll post.

I....just have to.

Dark Knight is a tank! Let's start bitching about it and pointing out how he was totally a dps in other FF games, and how SE's butchering the good old tradition of the holy FF games!
