FFXIV Random Complaint Thread: Look forward to it

[Mortilox]

I'm retarded.

Missed out on two dungeons so far, Halatali and Sunken temple of qarn.

Skipped those quests for whatever reason :<

[Sephiroth]

Holy shit bad players in the DF. Doing Darkhold (44-47) and quickly noticed the other SMN wasn't using DoTs, just spamming nothing but Ruin. We get a bit further and I decide to check his gear. Level 20 weapon. WTF?

[Maaglin]

Not being able to craft in an inn room.

Wow. IDK if i've encountered bad of that magnitude yet..

[miokomioko]

Welcome to the wild world of people who only EXP through FATEs.

[Akiyama]

How they couldn't at least get a company weapon.. jesus.

[Bardicrune]

I think I found my first set of bots yesterday. 4 characters, all named:
Cr Thai
Cr Thaia
Cr Thaib
Cr Thaic

The three with addl. letters were all /following the first and casting the exact same spell at the exact same time as the first. 4 ACN with blue carby out all casting Ruin over and over.

i found DF very good until today... Shit this: pld con (me) arcanist + lancer PT needed 60 min + to clear toto-blabla... I went beforehand with a PT made outside of 2x thaum 1x conj (me) and 1x arcanist and it was a fucking breeze to run through and kill everything in sight ¬.¬
I was going insane on how slowly the tank walked forward and engaged mobs

didnt check people, but was so far the worst DF run I have had. Not because we didnt win, but because it took insane amounts of time, mobs were hitting the floor so slow ._.

Items that can only be gathered at specific times of day.

Gtfo with that shit.

My kingdom for a HQ Fullmoon Sardine.

Are there such things for Mining/Botany?

At 46-50 the */** items, G4 catalysts, and clusters can only be farmed from points that always spawn in one spot in a particular zone for only an hour at certain hours, Eorzea time.

You have to waste a few attempts to uncover the each "notch" unless you use the 50 ability (not 50 yet so I dunno how that works). So you might not even get a shot at hitting the prize.

On the upside you get several of the item per successful swing.

[miokomioko]

Ah, I hadn't read any details about those special nodes yet as I only just gained access to them via 46 BTN in hopes of eventually farming up my own cocoons. I heard people had them pretty much figured out...? My first and only attempt at one yielded nothing at all.

Phooey.

[Raldo]

You have to waste one attempt to uncover the "notch" unless you use the 50 ability.

Fixed. The items found at these (or any) nodes don't ever move, so once you know where in the 8 slots to strike, you don't even need the lv50 ability unless you really want to use 300GP.

Also, the unspoiled nodes by default have 6 gathering attempts instead of the default 4. That plus the multiple items thing means I have a fuckton of Crawler Cocoons (~150NQ / ~50HQ). I thought the system would be very limiting, but you get the items super super super easily. It's not uncommon for me to leave with 6~9 HQ crawler cocoons.

Mioko, the Crawler Cocoons are located in slot 4 (counting from the top), and they spawn at 1AM (Eorzea time) around Little Solace (East Shroud). You'll need 320 Perception to begin acquiring HQs.

Well that's a relief. Had a feeling this might be the case but wasn't sure.

[Niiro]

Fuck removing the token system from primals.

They fucked up Ifrit, they fucked up Moogle, they finally got it right with Garuda, 2.0 rolls around and they fucked it all right back up again.

[amentis]

Not a complaint about the game exactly, but there's something about this game... it makes me so sleepy. Any time I start playing it, I want to drift off into a fucking coma. I don't understand it. This is pretty much the only MMO that consistently makes me want to take a nap. It makes leveling very difficult.

[Appie]

Want to see my name, longest fuckin credits ever before it even gets to that.

[blythe]

They need to extend the time on the join for DF. Keep it at 40s for the initial window but have an option "Give me a minute" that will give you an extra minute or two so you can blow through annoying dialogue or a CS or craft or end a fate, etc. so you can change to the job you signed up as and actually get in the instance.

What I always find hilarious is in the confirmation window, without fail the tank and healer will be confirmed and ready to go right away, and 1 or both of the DDs will completely miss it... presumably because they're afk or whatever waiting all that time.

Should've skip it, it skips to names after
