FFXIV Random Complaint Thread: Look forward to it

[Vuitton]

Holy shit, those queue times as a healer? I've been helping a DD friend of mine level up (currently up through Brayflox, so I haven't tried CC/Temple yet), so I queue with them on my SCH and I've never had a queue take longer than 5 minutes.

Did they already split the NA/EU servers into different duty finder groups? That's just so weird to have such vastly different experiences. Granted, most of our tanks have been complete and utter garbage...

On Sargatanas (Legacy) I've been waiting anywhere from 15 - 30 minutes to get into an instance on SCH.

Yeah it's crazy. I'm going to feel sorry for these guys when they get to primals since there is no real reason to revisit them. At least you can get some decent EXP from dungeons. I don't think story primals give you anything.

[Scythiroth]

Pretty sure story primals give you exp just like any normal final boss would in a dungeon, and bonus exp if someone is new to the fight. But yeah, <50 content really needs more than just exp with how ridiculously easy/fast FATE exp is.

[arus2001]

Those were the exact worries I expressed when everyone had a hard on over vertical progression and their panties in a bunch over horizontal progression. But noooooo, having a reason to do old content is stupid and I should go back to XI. Fucking pricks.

Because "I got my Homam gear, fuck doing Omega again!" is any better? Lacking incentive exists at both ends. Maybe if you're 40+, every dungeon can give some amount of tomes and GC currency, but let's not pretend farming the starter dungeons should be endgame viable.

[Niiro]

The problem now is it's not even viable when you're in the level range.

Why do dungeons when FATEs are better exp and you out level the gear too quickly for any of it to matter?

A "random dungeon" option at 50 which awards some Philo and Myth, and dumps you into a low level group would be nice at this point. Helps lowbies clear content and takes the stress off AK if you no longer need the greens.

That would solve so many problems, get the fuck out of here. (SE please make this happen.)

[Scythiroth]

That idea is quite good, feel kinda dumb not thinking of it myself. >.> Highly recommend posting it somewhere SE could see it if you haven't already.

Fcking lockout hits you. Can't que for anything even though you're in a party with your ls that totally fills the que. Then to pass the time I do botany leves but my timer freezes while I'm in the leves. So 20 minutes later I still have 11 minutes on lockout. Fix your shit SE

Posted on the lolOF. Who knows if anyone will see it, with all the noise there. I'd consider posting it on the subreddit, but that place is absolute shit. :/

Done and done. Give this man a contract.

I'm still waiting for Hardmode dungeons, which would hopefully reward a combination of seals. Have the normal mode give a small amount and hard modes give a decent amount.

I've created a thread on the forums (dungeon sub-forum) in hopes of spreading this good idea.

[Lucavi]

I get that the crafting classes are supposed to hold their own alongside your DoM/W but between the main scenario giving out gear, the NPCs offering gear in level-appropriate areas, dungeon loot and the underpowered nature of consumables I'm beginning to wonder what the logic is. Stress-free climbs to 50? Being able to avoid the markets entirely is a huge blow to anyone who wants to main crafting.

Shouldn't the economy have been based on a lack of easily acquired equipment allowing players to fill those gaps with their synthed equipment? The stance on fishing simply being a hobby is also dubious considering the underpowered nature of food and the invasion of RMT that is all but here already.

Its good for many things: good for churning out gear (at endgame) for people to spiritbond grind for materia; its good for flooding the market with for people to hand in for seals.

[Neviskio]

Meh decided to give the idea of subbing for 1 month a couple days of thought, come back to check the situation: people getting 601-401 and locked out anywhere from 24hrs to 1 month, no planned fix to end game AK queue(I know this will get me flamed again, but fuck this shit: smart designers those who thought ONE end game dungeon with mythology would cause no issues.Yeah right the population will not rush at that dungeon...and let's limit the DF instances created by that dungeon.Seriously square hire me I can do shit better than this -_-) and well, I'm now doubting it again.

Can they make atleast 1 right move for the love of god?

[Corrderio]

Just tried to enter my credit card information again since it's been 24 hours since I first tried. Still getting error 401/601.

Real sick of your shit, SE...

Care to not overdo it, most people after too many attempts get locked for a month, confirmed by the square enix support, because, fuck your money, we don't want it!

Also, was going to edit: working as designed the animation lock before interrupts, I'm sorry but did I miss going back into the past with my delorean? My friend is bothering me so much on the "you're just whining, sub already, game's fine" I need to understand how can he say that after all this <.<

[Viena]

First time I've seen/heard of this issue: my Lodestone profile won't show my name/race (and has since been automatically removed from BG's user info).

If that's the case, I'm probably fucked with how many times I tried last night under the assumption the server was under heavy load.

With any luck this will come back to bite SE in the ass with a wave of bad publicity, forcing them to fix it.

Yeah the thing is they're inconsistent on this, some people just can't do it because of different card/ip(so basically if you have a NA card and you're in canada with a canadian ip, though luck, you can't pay them untill they fix it) or they consider your tries malicious activity, and their protection kicks in locking you out for insane amount of times, if you lurk around you can find the square answers that say their time is 1 month, if you are brave you can try contact support, but they are either incompetent and don't know how to fix it, or they just give bot-like answers as they did in the official topic(which got closed and has now disappeared, how convenient) that sounds something like

"your bank is shit, we don't know shit, your problem bro".

I hope they fix it for you guys, but yeah, try not to insist too much or you might get flagged for suspicious activity <.<

My bank ended up calling me due to suspicious activity/fraudulent charges due to the fiasco of trying to give SE my money. I still couldn't pay with my card so I eventually had to buy some crysta with Paypal. Really annoying to have to jump through hoops to pay.

Also, I concur that SE does need to do something about low level dungeon participation otherwise new players are gonna be hurting trying to advance through the mandatory story. I queued as a Tank with a Healer friend for some lowbies and we ended up waiting over 30 mins, which is kinda shocking when considering the roles we were playing. It's funny though that SE did what they could to eliminate open world grinding as a means of leveling up to funnel players into dungeons but their much touted Fates essentially became the easiest and mindless form of open grinding ever.
