FFXIV Random Complaint Thread: Look forward to it

[Seravi Edalborez]

Random complaints about rearranging the HUD.

HUD grid box for Progress Bar is fatter than it actually is, presumably only so the INTERRUPTED can fly in from the right. Same for minimap box having extra space on bottom (for the sun icon I know but fff)

Target Bar isn't as fat as it should be; marking shows in upper left and it bleeds over into the thing next to it.

Notices and Duty List are only as fat as there are things for them right this minute.

Why are debuffs so far away from buffs on the stat effects bar.

Adding new servers for the DF isn't gonna solve the AK issue. They have to add Mith. to other dungeons or add new ones before the congestion goes down.

What they need to do is reallocate the server space used for lower level dungeon instances which no one fucking does to make more AK instances which everyone fucking does.

This. It's so simple yet would help so much!

[Deadgye]

mah nigga. using magitek is the only way to make travelling between nodes on DoL bearable

I use my PS3 controller and just watch anime on my other monitor while I mindlessly move from node to node. I can't imagine doing it any other way.

I would prefer they just add Lv.50+ hard-modes to the more interesting dungeons and then balance them so there's no one dungeon that plainly stands out as the best mythology/hr. Preferrably balanced so that your instance choice might be based primarily on your current party lineup instead of a predetermined "fastest" instance.

but yeah... balance...

[Cichy]

so sick of AK...

[shepardG]

Wow I hope there was more to that before you left party.

Something along the lines of "Not before I write down your names and report you for exploiting to gain an unfair advantage. As shown in the FFXIV: ARR user agreement, "2. License Limitations, 2.1 Cheating and Botting. You may not create or use any unauthorized cheats, bots, automation software, hacks, mods or any other unauthorized software or hardware designed to modify the Game and gameplay.

"enjoy your ban, faggot."

I don't see how tanking him at the top of the hill is exploiting a system bug. In a perfect world, everyone who played this game would be competent, unfortunately, they(we) are not, so having him tanked at the top of the hill while healers/ranged stand down a little ways makes it bearable for alot of the less.... attention to detail oriented players.

Now in that screen shot, if they were talking about some other bullshit, then yeah, of course, i have no argument. But it sounds like they were talking about tanking him up the hill.

Off the top of my theory-head, hypothetical Brayflox Hard seems like you could kite/skip a lot of stuff before 2nd boss (eft).

Require all Goblins be saved/killed to advance past the gate behind Hellbender~ BAM!

That's only half of it, you can still skip a vast majority of the bog area (which most people do).

[Rocl]

The water is now poison; you have to walk on the land and it's impossible to cure through trying to skip shit but possible to cure through to for CHESTS

[miokomioko]

That's only half of it, you can still skip a vast majority of the bog area (which most people do).

This is so easy to deal with (add 1 or 2 more Goblins to save in the area). I imagine any hard-mode version of an instance will be a tiny bit more than just increasing mob level. I mean adding some progress requirements across the board to keep people from Sac'ing the whole place and/or completely skipping areas/loot. Additional and/or more complex boss mechanics/adds/etc.

edit: rocldeas are better

[Raldo]

Hah! I hope they add new descriptions for hard mode dungeons.

"Brayflox & co. made too much Goblin Headcheese! The monsters got into it and spilled it all over the place! Now the water is rancid, and the monsters are insane! Help Brayflox & co. take back Longstop!"

[Rocl]

Considering the hard mode primals have different descriptions I'd expect hard mode dungeons to have new ones too !

[miokomioko]

[Hellbender is now replaced with a massive yellow flan.]

Anyways... complaints! Ummm...

Why can't I dye all the shitty dungeon gear?!

[Fereydoon]

I just want Hardmode Qarn, now with more EgyptianSpaceLasers™!

Edit: In response to above, why can I seemingly dye Toxotes pants but NOTHING ELSE IN THE SET.

[Viena]

While I like the idea of hard mode dungeons, I don't see it solving the issue of low level ones gradually losing people and becoming hard for someone who wants/needs them to get a group for them. The idea that has been suggested lately of a random dungeon would largely solve this issue, as it would evenly distribute the players across dungeons.

They mentioned a few times something like this coming in 2.1.

[Seravi Edalborez]

Demagogue mask, Hoplite Sabatons, and Toxotes kecks are the only ones I've seen dyeable for who knows what reason.

Sad I'm about to hit 50 in all DoH because it'll mean retiring my Dodore Doublet which I put 4 t3 materia into for some dumb reason (basically identical to NQ DoH AF body). Wish I could sell it or give it away instead of just converting it.

[Suited Aces]

Brayflox hardmode would obviously have Aiatar being eaten by an even larger dragon at 25% health.
