FFXIV Random Complaint Thread: Look forward to it

[Petitssk]

I have no idea where this suddenly came from, but so far, the game seems to be unplayable for both me and my friends this week. We've got massive lags wherever we go. As a tank, the most blatant issues, aside from voidzones, are all kinds of issues with abilities.
Halone-combo for instance; I use Savage Blade, I get no combo-activation on Rage of Halone, use Fast Blade, Rage of Halone activates. Considering that sometimes I only get an animation after activating an ability, but no actual ability (Flash animation going off, but no actual ability is triggered), which sometimes also triggers my global cooldown, this can lead to a few very dangerous situations since I need to use those abilities to keep hate on me. If my initial flash doesn't go off and I am subjected to an additional delay of 1-2 global cooldowns before I can get solid hate on all mobs, things can go downhill awfully fast.

Though the best must have been Demon Wall. Repel incoming, we gather in the middle; wall moves forward, I go back to the left, Repel hits me, I'm knocked down.

In addition to that, our healer on PS3 has constant issues with player characters not moving together with the rest of the group and being stuck somewhere, making him unable to heal them. In those cases, he either runs away or relogs. Admittedly, though, this has been an issue since we started playing.

I have no idea what causes these issues all of a sudden, but seeing how this seems to affect large parts of my linkshell, I don't believe that the problem lies with the players affected, at least not solely. Figures that this happens right as I actually subscribe.

I'm always solo when I farm, so that means this linking is based on my level vs the mobs. Ok thanks for clearing that up.

Its lagging like hell because they reopened our worlds to new characters. They shouldn't have done this considering most bosses that matter have moves that can't be dodged because the servers aren't registering our positions fast enough. Really annoyed by this.

I don't get the major lag issues, but as far as the Halone Combo is concerned, I do have issues where when I use a Non-GCD in between the combo, there have been cases when my skills don't fire off.

I'm noticing a problem where I use a non gcd ability and spamming fast blade. Fast blade goes off but the combo doesn't trigger so I have to use fast blade again. It's not because I missed. It ONLY happens with fast blade triggering the combo. Super annoying.

[Churchill]

Only happens when I'm in any part of the game that isn't BC. AK is shit terrible and if it wasn't piss easy would be a nightmare.

I had a similar issue except I wasn't using any non GCD abilities in between. While grinding FATEs on my MNK sometimes I would have to use a move 3+ times for it to register the combo. Like I would use Bootshine and the damage + buffs would pop up saying I hit, but then I couldn't use Twin Snakes and my Buff Bar didn't actually show the buffs. I just figured it was server lag.

[Niiro]

What is the goddamn chat filter setting for seeing other people's materia conversion? I don't fucking care.

I can't find anything that gets rid of it.

[Carth]

So went into a CM speedrun group. Composition is 1 PLD(myself), 4 BLMs, 1 BRD, 2 WHMs. Speedrunner's dream right?

Well that is until I notice the Black Mages are running up to to the pack of mobs and proceed to spam Blizzard II...

Fucking noob, that's the best way to kill things. HAVEN'T YOU EVER DONE DARK DEVICES GAAAAAAAAAAWD

[shepardG]

lmao, i did my first CM speed run.... having no clue how people are speed running it..

I run and pull the entire pack of mobs in front of the cannons and destroy all of the cannon with mob AOE's except for one, which had like 10% health...

i got yelled at... we still cleared in 22min

[Twilight Sky]

Nothing like DCing during a synthesis.

[Jakson]

So many DL weapons, none of them axe.

Also, where do they get a name like Kple Kple?

Sounds like the same packet loss/r0 shit that happens to me in dungeons all the time. It's gotten progressively worse and now I'm lucky if I can get through an instance without completely 90king out.

[Niiro]

The fact that the shout function in any city is unusable because SE can't manage a spam filter.

A fucking spam filter.

[Lucavi]

The Japanese attempting to do any sort of PC programming. This is what you get. The lack of features that, while small on their own, begin to congeal into a sticky mass of bullshit when they all come together and you start thinking about everything that -should- be in a game in this generation that -isn't- in the game currently.

Where the fuck is the token system, or any kind of reward for putting all that effort out day in and day out in dungeons and raids.

[amentis]

Kple Kple?

Bless you

and re: Lucavi...

Yep. My entire experience with this game (I'm currently playing/raiding WoW concurrently) is just logging on here after a raid and slowly getting angrier and angrier at all the little stupid quality of life bullshit that just doesn't exist in this game. It's like these devs have never looked at another MMO, ever.

Ever? You act like this hasn't come a long way since XI/1.0

Also, Kple Kple is an African tribal mask (which the head of the staff resembles).

[Lokus]

The chat log bug is getting progressively worse. How the hell do you fuck something this basic up, especially since the game doesn't have VoiP natively?

Really not saying much.
