FFXIV Random Complaint Thread: Look forward to it

[Gulkeeva]

Servers been acting all herp derp lately, giving out random d/c's to people. Was only happening in instances but now it seems to be affecting the outside of DF too now ;/

[Gokulo]

And weird lag I never experienced before ; ;

[Meresgi]

I keep getting lobby 2002 error trying to connect from work. Not sure if it's the game/servers or just my college network D:

The info about crystal tower. 24 man and average time per run estimated at 90-120 minutes. It's Dynamis all over again...

[Niiro]

You can also time attacks with automove properties like Jump(?) or Repelling Shot to go off at the same time as Repel and the Repel KD won't count. Probably Shoulder Tackle too but idk if you can even get that much range in that room or why you'd want to.

I've actually managed pull off a similar effect by mashing Spirits Within and Circle of Scorn on PLD as repel is about to hit.

If I can time it juuuuust right the very brief animation lock (I guess?) seems to absorb the repel and I don't get thrown back.

I can't really pull it off consistently but the recast on the skills syncs up perfectly with repel when I open the fight with them.

Uh...considering it seems like each party will be splitting up and doing different things, I'm not so sure about that. And most current 8 man dungeons have a 2 hour limit on it but are able to be done much quicker. I'm sure it will be the same way for CT.

Last night doing a Castrum speed run, got a dragoon through DF. First boss gets positioned, I drop flaming arrow on the boss. The dragoon stands on the edge of the aoe i dropped and spams piercing talon till it goes away despite me yelling at him to actually melee. How the fuck do you mistake a mob aoe with it's red outline with fucking flaming arrow. /headdesk

Hopefully. I kind of have a limit of being in a dungeon for about an hour before it gets dull for me.

LOL, that's fucking amazing honestly. I bet he was like "SO FUCKING GOOD AT THIS GAME DODGING THE BAD"

Edit: I have a complaint... why make harnesses expose so much of my smooth, moonlight-pale taru flesh for all the world to see an mock. QQ

[Krandor]

I saw something like that before right when I turned 50. Was in WP and the healer kept yelling at the tank and melee to stop standing in the fire.

Similar-ish complaint but the opposite end of the spectrum. I hate how the Heavy Darksteel/Darklight gear looks. Really wish we could at least toggle the helmet off so we can actually, you know, see the character we designed. And you're basically stuck in that shit for months unless you prio AF2 Head or Body first from Myth.

Is DAT swapping as simple as it was for XI or it is a PITA / can't be done? Really don't want to be stuck looking like this for so long.

When Praetorium was still rather new, I would cast shadow flare during the last boss under randoms just to see how many people I could get to panic and run.

Would be better on

Spoiler: show

Gaius because he has that big blue bleeding attack thing anyway

[Seravi Edalborez]

You know what's really bad? That hydra fireball AoE looks fucking exactly like flaming arrow aoe. It's for that reason only I'm only 80% on the "what an idiot" fence for party members thinking friendly Flaming/Shadow is scary.

The other 20% is "we're not fucking on Hydra, idiot".

I save Shoulder Tackle for immediately after the 2nd Repel because it's so satisfying. Puts me right back into its face and in position to LB one of the Gnats if need be.

[Seravi Edalborez]

I do wonder if Spineshatter Dive would "save" you if you jumped/fell off.

[Raldo]

I could be wrong, but I don't think you can perform actions in mid-air?

[Seravi Edalborez]

You can. I jump up and down all the time solo WSing stuff when I farm. It'll mess up spellcasting of course. Also jump when using Repelling Shot because I'm tiny and it looks cool.

[Jaybar]

You are better off using the regular Jump. Use it just as Repel is about to go off, game will recognize your position for return. If you were destined to fall off, you will simply return back to the previous spot like Jump is supposed to do.

[kemigumi]

My brain farted until I realized you were referring to drg Jump and not spacebar.

Also, I have evaded demon wall's repel entirely by timing repelling shot. Only happened once though... So probably a fluke.
