This. A bad tank is workable. A lazy healer who doesn't DPS just makes shit take forever. #1 reason I will always queue as healer if I need to farm via DF.

If you want real rewards do real content.

Achievements rewards are novelties, which is exactly how it should be.

They really, really, need to change materia conversion/melding results in the chat log to crafting actions or something.

I don't give a fuck what other people are melding/converting and I can't very well filter system messages that actually include shit I need to know.

It's not that, it's that even within the achievements themselves the rewards are weird. You get a minion for fighting a boss FATE which would take you maybe 20 minutes, and you can grind 1 type of levelquest for 3 years and get a Title out of it. It's just kinda weird the way its structured.

The title might be kinda cool if it displayed without you needing to examine someone, otherwise nobody knows you have it (which is probably the only reason you'd ever get it).

It's bad enough that you can't adjust the size of names over people's heads.

We already have FC names to make them even bigger and longer, fuck adding titles to that shit too.

People be walking around with fucking billboards hovering over their heads.

**fren.** · 2013-10-13 11:53

Shard listings on my server are fucked. 500min for 20k+. Not that gil is a problem, it's just inconvenient.

You know there's an option to turn them off/display only firstname/surname? Probably wouldn't be hard to add an option to turn off titles if they ever decide to stick that in as well.

**Niiro** · 2013-10-13 12:03

There's a lot of very simple things we could have but don't.

**Niiro** · 2013-10-13 12:26

Also in the display name settings they should have just used "first name" and "last name".

They use "forename" and "surname" but the order is in the JP standard where the surname comes first, this doesn't work in translation because the word "forename" by definition is the name that comes first.

Trying Behemoth on PLD. Yay for getting slaughtered by an invisible enemy for 20 seals.

Sucks they got rid of the 8-man leves from V1. Odin/Behemoth would have been perfect for those.

So people probably encountered or bitched about this long before myself, but I just completed several quests (I'm low level, only 13) and yet when I went back to turn them in after actually doing them I get a dialog "You cannot complete this quest until the following conditions are met: Level Requirement: 18" ... wtf, why did they even let me accept and complete them. The mobs in question were only level 16 anyway.

You usually can accept quests higher than you because you have another higher class.

Just Miner ... can I actually turn in a combat quest on a gathering job?

Try it. You can in many cases.

So seriously can we get some way of holding Greased Lightning, SE? Here I'll do it for you.

Fists of Wind changed to: "Decreases damage done by 50%. Greased Lightning duration freezes. Cannot be used with other Fists of etc etc."

Well another part of the problem is that battlecraft leves are worthless and the other types are as well once you have those jobs leveled. I don't mind ridiculous achievements but the journey to them as well as the reward has to be at least somewhat rewarding.

That would be.....obscenely broken.
