FFXIV Random Complaint Thread: Look forward to it

[Jamison]

Random complaints about rearranging the HUD.

Speaking of the HUD, I get really annoyed at how the item pop-up description window can move around to other parts of the screen depending on what other windows are open. Normally it'll come up on some blank space at the right side of the screen, but if I have the character window open (as opposed to inventory or armory) it forces it to the left of the screen right overtop the chat log.

You can fix that.

Charconfig > UI settings > Help > Position > Fixed

(This should go in Praise but yay for resizing things you can't see in HUD layout, like char window, crafting log, inventory, etc. Ctrl+Home just like anything else. Too bad this doesn't let you see more of a page in say hunting log.)

Anyone else find it weird to have XI crabs and XIV crabs in the same game? Or why Mamool Ja are suddenly here?

[amentis]

I assumed the races were like, parallel dimension versions of the FFXI beastmen and then I'm walking to Wanderer's palace and wtf Mamool Ja.

I was really really confused.

[Kuishen]

They're probably sub-species. Like how there's the XI version of crabs, and the new snipper model. They're both crabs though.

Wondering if Kobolds and Goblins are somewhat related too. We might even see some Yagudo in the future.

Odin spawns, so I'm running around South Shroud looking for him. Then I get disconnected -- 90k. Can't get back in either it seems. I think south shroud fucking crashed on Lamia.

Get back on and hopelessness is gone. The shroud fucking crashed and reset and now he's gone.

edit: hopelessness still up in other shrouds besides south. Possible he moved when it crashed.

edit2: Yeah he moved on the crash. Not that bad but still SE come on. Why are your zones crashing.

People who quit out of DF parties after 1 fucking wipe are pretty funny. It's usually a DPS that's the first to leave. Enjoy that 20-60+m wait, moron.

DD mostly bards that don't dodge shit during df mostly on both ultima fights saying that it's not a speed run if they dodge

The Stop/Start lag myself and my entire Prae party is getting makes me glad I'm giving you money SE. Really.

Oh good I'm not crazy then, it is still there. Had it while crafting, fishing, and Garuda so far. All day.

Very much so. Occasionally I'll have a monster's ability go from 50% casting time to going off instantly. Such a joke.

Hoplite drops from AK are a fucking myth

Thanks Obama!

My FC wiped on Titan more than a few times tonight because of that start/stop nonsense.

Its odd. When the product doesn't work as well as it should, its not like we pay less. Connection is 50% of its normal strength? Charge me half off for that day.

Can you elaborate on this? I've had lag spikes the past few days where people will just stop doing anything and then a few seconds later it'll catch back up. The worst time it happened for a good 30 seconds. Trying to figure out if it's my connection or the servers.

[Seravi Edalborez]

That's pretty much exactly what's happening.

Most frustrating thing is no acknowledgement on Lodestone, and OF posters are just now getting the word out.

Glad server transfers are coming finally but... they said plan on not playing for a few days after you file for a transfer because they expect a lot of people transferring? So... they need to manually transfer each person to their new server? Every other game I've ever played that I've transferred in was a quick log out, fill out something, log in and you're on your new server. Wasn't XI that way? They must have really coded this game wrong...

Hamsters are dying. I can't even craft without waiting 10-15 sec between steps. The fuck.

You want a 22 cent discount?

Yep, it's supposedly from getting packet loss from SE's servers. You're essentially disconnecting for a few seconds at a time.

Tbh when WoW opened up transfers the wait was basically estimated in weeks due to the amout of people doing it. In a month or so transfers will be instant.
