FFXIV Random Complaint Thread: Look forward to it

[Kincard]

Ah, gotcha for the Demon Wall thing. I haven't kept up much with the XIV community (And I only just hit 50 like 2 days ago) so I'm not too aware of what's going on with glitches/plans/future patches etc. I do notice that lag's really bad for me though (Playing US server in Asia is awesome).

is this common in america? did MMOs replace family activities?

When you think about it, it's not really any worse than a family playing a board game together, I guess. A Teen rated online game probably isn't where you'd find the most accommodating people if you want something family-friendly though.

[Lucavi]

The family that plays together, stays together.

When I was a kid, it was Tetris, Jeopardy and Dr. Mario. Today its ARR.

White Mages and Scholars screaming for fucking ballad because they don't know how to manage their fucking mp.

Fucking princess healers.

You're a bard, not a ranger. Shut up and sing my shit.

[Day]

Yeah curious what these bitches would do had a MNK or something been in the DF instead of a BRD. Niggas stuck on that FF11 bullshit. I'll give you a battle voice ballad when you need it. If you're depending on it, something is wrong.

[Kincard]

wait for the mnk to mantra obviously

I'm a Paladin.

This.

[Eldelphia]

SCH's should rarely if ever be yelling for ballad surely? Freaking hard to run out of MP on SCH...

[Koul]

some stuff that's been pissing me off. Insta-cast spells that, when you run past the target or aren't directly facing the target, your character faces towards them. I've almost died I don't know how many times when I would be running out of a red death zone and throw up regen then get turned around and head right back. Just cast the damn spell. fuck

raise and healer lb3 "lag" I wouldn't even call it lag. It's just a bullshit immobile bind crap. When a person gets raised, they should be able to move right away. and the whole purpose of LB3 is a huge OHSHI- button but if everyone is bound to their spot and a bunch of death zones pop up. and kill everyone. It's kind of fucking moot. after using it myself, I was stuck kneeling for 5 seconds while ifrit just tossed up a flame wave thing and killed me.

[Mortilox]

You guys were right about Holy

seizure inducing spammable light bomb

neat for aoe stunning though

I, just the other day, realized that utilizing "Legacy" controls for character movement will remedy this. Forward/back/strafe will always be based on the perspective of the camera, not your character. So, you will move the way you want to move regardless of whether or not your character auto-faces something when you cast/WS. I can't imagine being able to dodge half the shit in this game without it.

[Raldo]

I still don't know why normal controls uses a half-speed backstep. Why would they make such a glaring discrepancy between the two control setups...

Not that I care that much, 'cause I use legacy controls.

[Carth]

Legacy controls or bust.

[Day]

minor annoyance on that topic. in all games i always exchange right and left for strafe respectively. when you strafe and press back in legacy, you still move at that shitty half speed. so stupid. walked right the fuck off Titan's pillar yesterday trying to make up for this happening.

[Suited Aces]

Do you guys lock on to every enemy? I'm on ps3 using standard, never lock-on and have no problems dodging any moves. I really don't get the hate for standard, or the apparent benefits of legacy.

[Meresgi]

Went to official forums to read the Tank sub-forum....holy shit the amount of pissing and moaning about how "WARRIORS CAN DO ANYTHING PALADINS STEAL OUR LUNCH MONIESSSSS" and shit. I've seen FC's in coil with warrior tanks so obviously it's doable, but Crystal Tower gear was also meant to bridge to coil and that wasn't released at launch so of course warriors, being gear dependent, are gonna get the shit smacked out of them for jumping up 2 tiers.

Paladins take less damage, suck it up and stop being a pussy and hit shit with your fucking axe.

[AidenCarby]

Don't depend on monks though, idk I usually pop shroud at about 70% mana, tops me back up and just do that. The occasional ether at 85%

[Carth]

I'm on ps3

Which means you're using a controller, and a controller allows for free movement regardless.

play standard on keyboard and back up. the problem is quite obvious.

[Suited Aces]

Ok. That explains my confusion. Thanks.

Just wish the camera wouldn't force readjust so much. Fighting the first boss in Amdapor springs to mind here once the big golem is summoned and the party relocates behind the tree. I'd rather see a giant fucking void to the left than be force zoomed to my back and now unable to gauge ground clutter from the little golems.
