FFXIV Random Complaint Thread: Look forward to it

[Argantes]

Was bored earlier and saw a group shouting for Hydra.
I told them I'd help, don't need the fight or anything and I could either DPS or Tank. Whichever they needed.

Turns out they got a tank so we go in and the tank starts spinning around Hydra like a bitch.
I get it, it makes sure you don't get hit by Trivarium but when i told him not to, he said "If you solo tank this, you have to spin"

So I just let myself die, waited for them to wipe (with spinning) and left.

This kind of shit is why we have so many incapable shits in endgame and this is also what I get for trying to be nice!

I dunno, that tri-dazer bullshit hurts like hell as a solo tank.

It does, but as long as you don't get bravery from adds or debuff from breath, your healers should get you back beofre you die.


Done the fight several times, always solo tanking. First time was in a mix of AF/WP gear.
Only time i didn't tank it was when i needed it for SMN.

Yeah I always think twice before going to help out on Hydra (not so much Chimera because i'm a Silence machine). I think to myself "is there anything else I could be doing in the next hour that i'm going to be annoyed about if this group sucks?" and make a decision based off that.

To be fair though it doesn't sound like that group would be getting anywhere near their relic in a hurry.

Also, through weight of statistics, it seems that the best way to ensure a group beats Chimera or Hydra is offering up a sacrifice of gil via setting your home point in the zone of the fight. It's murphy's law that if you don't do this, the group will always fail on the first run.

Please stop acting like you're good at anything.

Meh, I told you I'd never been in there. Some thanks I get for helping you out. The nerve of some people!

Random complaint: having to manually copy files for gearsets and crossbars between computers is retarded. They don't have have to sync continuously, but having an option to upload/download the various config files to and from the server in-game is something they really need to do.

This latency issue is killing me. I dunno how to fix it. I tried that wowinterface latency fix, and it seemed to crash my internet every hour for like a second, so had to get rid of that.

It seems like when I am ever in an instance server I get that situation where everything stops moving for 2-3 seconds, than catches up. Which means I gotta play the guessing game of where things are going to pop, which sometimes leads me to run INTO something. Or if something already spawned and the freeze happens (ie. landslide) I get hit by it when it catches up because even if I moved on my side, it didn't register on the server side. This doesn't happen outside, even during like the DD fate with ten million people there.

I just want to play the game. ;_; I want it that if I died/got hit, it's because I dun fucked up, not because I moved and the server didn't know it. This is sooooo annoying. -.-;

Happens to me too. Not sure if it occurs only during the primetime but w/e, shit is irritating as hell (as a tank/healer). Never happens to anybody but me.

Yeahhhhhhh the rubberbanding is bullshit. It's not you and there's really nothing you can do.

[Ksandra]

This always happens as well. I gotta be the only one it's happening to so of course, it's hard to convince people it's true.



Not that I should give a fuck what other people think, but when I am already pissed offed about dying from it, it doesn't help when people try to say I need to dodge faster or some shit.

[Arcana]

My random complaint, The game can crash every so often with no apparent causes, gives a virtual runtime error and looking it up there seems to be no real fix for it.

[Sephiroth]

I have a similar issue except I get a crash that completely freezes my PC. The sound freezes too but can still be heard and it makes an awful noise when that happens. Only seen it 3-4 times since launch but still a pain in the ass.

Not trying to be funny, but you sure it isn't a PS3 thing?
I've had latency issues being a EU player but it has been significantly reduced since I started playing after their maints and me using WTFast.

I don't have an amazing PC. I mean, it qualifies for this game, and I do run on minimal settings cause I care a lot more about performance than graphics, but I never have any of the problems you guys have been listing.

Had this issue last night when doing my relic on BLM. Twice I got hit by landslide where I am away from it and already casting a spell -far- from the landslide and I get knocked off. I didn't notice the start/stop too much but my friend told me it looked like I teleported around.

[blowfin]

Yeah it's a normal occurence, I'm on PC. Seems to be a prime time thing? I don't play enough during off peak hours to say. Everything will just stop for a second or two and then snap back with a flurry of actions. Chatting to the FC it seems some people experience it in the same patches, but some people don't. Might be important to note that I'm probably the furtherest away from the servers in Japan of anyone in the FC.

Titan exposes rubber banding really well unfortunately, it's a great litmus test! The first time I went along with my FC I got cleaned up by the first Geocrush after Titan didn't even leave the ground and my team members didn't move. By the time I realised what was happening it was too late and I was a pancake in the middle of the BC. After being raised I got shunted off the edge by a lagslide that I was clear of for 2-3 seconds. Took a bit of explaining that I didn't actually suck that badly, the help was well pissed off. As it turns out I got 90k'd shortly afterwards, got back on after about 2.5 hours and then dodged like a pro ftw. Have no desire to ever repeat it because I don't trust the servers.

[Andradi]

The main time I've noticed the rubber banding thing is when the client has been open for a long time, restarting seems to fix it up.

Leads me to believe it might be some sort of memory leak.

[arus2001]

Wouldn't put it past that and the servers just being way too fucking crowded, instanced or otherwise. I've been fortunate enough only have one laggy AK, but I've bumped into enough people who had it on their end, too.
