FFXIV Random Complaint Thread: Look forward to it

Which is why I said make it into a customizable macro for combos that aren't linear.

They are probably terrified to introduce a macro language that allows even a shred of scripting or logic. They know their playerbase well.

[Niiro]

You mean the playerbase that used to write Spellcast xmls?

There are always people that are going to be clueless about game functions, how many people do you think aren't aware of half of the current commands in the game now?

edit: also 30+ min wait times for AK instances is not something that should be happening still, have they even acknowledged the problem much less said anything about solving it?

fuck, take 3/4ths of all other dungeon instances and make them into AK, no one would notice a fucking thing because no one does the lower level dungeons

[Purrrfect]

There needs to be a way to map a series of skills to a single macro.

There's no reason a linear combo should require me to set all 3 skills separately to the bar when I never, ever want to use the other 2 outside of the combo.

I should be able to do True Thrust -> Vorpal -> Full by hitting one button three times.

edit: make it a customizable macro command

/macrocombo "true thrust","vorpal thrust","full thrust"

Icon is True, upon successfully landing the attack it changes to Vorpal, successfully landing that changes to Full, land that or combo timer runs out it defaults back to True.

Making it a customizable macro command would let it be usable for combos that aren't completely linear (PLD/WAR).

MNK can imitate this atm with redundancy macros and it's incredibly useful but still flawed, there needs to be a game function to allow this. It would go a long fucking way toward helping the xbar limitation issues for controller/PS3 players.

Aion did this from day one, with 0 work by the player to do so. 2007(?) says hi, SE.

I can dye Hoplite set (AK tank gear, or the leggings at least), but not the ugly-ass Strategos or Demagogue mage sets.

Just beat Titan hard, but I hand to play sch cause we had no one else that had a geared 50sch .... I am working on my Artemis bow.
fuck you SE.

(I did get the MNK hands that dropped, and we got heart of Titan also, apparently it's rare or some shit?)

[Aerin]

Can't stand it when you're waiting for 30+ min to get into an instance, just to have one of the dps not hit "Commence" and get kicked back to the end of the queue.

[shepardG]

Wat? You don't go back to the end I'm pretty sure??

[Carth]

Dungeon Grinding is getting stupid. 30+ minute wait for AK and whenever I do CM, there's some lazy fucks who go AFK since we aren't allowed to kick anyone.

Seriously SE, let us kick people.

[Noobta]

Wat? You don't go back to the end I'm pretty sure??

Not when reserving an instance is involved. Get an AK pop after 30 minutes of reserving instance and one DPS declines. Another 20 minute wait until we get an instance again.

[Tsuneo]

Yep, I've gotten thrown to the back of the line twice tonight already. I'm just about to give up for tonight.

[Corrderio]

This.

Also, finding out the time limit still counts down while cutscenes are playing. I can see about 2-3 short ones (Intro, boss introduction, etc) like the early dungeons do. But for the love of all that's holy why did the final storyline dungeon and the one before it have to have over 5 cutscenes?

Not for story mode dungeons, otherwise you're going to have farm groups who farm using DF, kicking people who are there for story missions. Went into CM last night, watching CSs and came out to my group running a mile ahead lol.

ROFL YOU ARE TERRIBLE CHURCH ROFL, beat ifrit and get on my level

[Churchill]

My actual concern for the iLvl restrictions will be that it will be anything remotely similar to that trash.

I personally liked Neverwinters system, it was pretty dumb for that game but would make more sense in XIV.

I understand this. I've always been the one to say don't be a douchebag and let people watch their CS, but I've already been in three parties so far that had players going AFK at the start of the dungeon, and we can't do a damn thing about it.

I don't get this post. Fuck SE b/c you don't know a 50 SCH?

Also, calling bs on whoever chimes in saying I got wooshed.

That is annoying, they should take the longest cutscene in there's time, double it for people who are terrible at reading and then make it so that if someone is idle for that long w/o moving/attack they get opened for a kick.

I hate duty finder, period (I hate WoW's dungeon/raid finder system, too). I prefer the shout method or actually playing with people in your shell/guild/FC whatever. I miss people joining together and being communicative with one another in order to complete a task that is bigger than solo content.

I was surpised one sunday when someone requested if i can tank copperbell mines for him. I asked if he knew me or why me, he said I showed up in player search. turned out he already built a party with a healer and a dps, and needed a tank. so that's 1 proof the system works, if people can invest the time in using it. we went on to become "friends" although it's possible i'll just be his tank whore (and i love tanking) lol

An ilvl system check is already in place, somewhat. Earlier on I was on a story quest, which demanded i have a ilvl 10 or something on my main slots. i was temporarily annoyed as i was doing fine with my starting gear lol, and was choose gil nuggets for every quest reward where possible, so i actually had to buy some junk from the NPC.
