FFXIV Random Complaint Thread: Look forward to it

**Carth** · 2013-10-14 15:03

I'll be transferring to Hyperion, which is a populated server so I'm sure it's gonna take forever. That's the main reason why I'm gonna grind as much tomes as I can today.

Plus I really, really need to replace my Hoplite head.

**Jakson** · 2013-10-14 15:26

I've been forcing myself to CM because I'm assuming after the patch, philosophy tome mats are going to drop even lower than they are now. Ores and Potash selling at barely above 50k on Masamune.

Tangentially related:

What's with hoplite head/body being a circlet/jerkin?

Looks so dumb, would expect it to be something that actually looks like heavy armor like the plate set or even haub.

So.....why would you "force yourself" to do CM then if the price is about to tank?

I assume to cash in on mats as much as possible before the price drops.

Incentive to replace it faster? lol, not that looking like a garbage can is much better. I deliberately spent my Myth tokens on WAR head just to I could skip both steps.

See ya there.

Also, even FATE PTs are getting pissy now it seems. Was in a group the other night and got kicked twice. Once for going to Gridania to get new equipment (Even when I told the group I was going to get new gear) then a 2nd time after I crashed. Took me about a minute to log back in and *poof* I was solo.

Happened to me twice in two days like 3 weeks back. Went back to Grindy to grab new gear and was kicked before I could back. Was stupid.

Maybe the wrong thread for this, but I'm really scared to bring my friends to Hyperion. Anyone get the feeling that the Legacy servers are going to explode since Legacy people can't be on a regular server? I have 5 or so friends on other servers, but they have to move to me, or we all have to move to a legacy server.

It's like SE didn't think legacy people had friends....

I know at least 50 people who are transferring to Hyperion on my server. My FC is jumping as well (unknowingly to me) to merge with another FC.

Hyperion is gonna be filled to the brim.

**Katlan** · 2013-10-14 18:33

You forget SE will lock the server immediately once they notice a lot of ppl are xferring. You best be fast

Please no;;;
It's already full, go elsewhere!

Didn't forget. In fact, that's the very reason I'm quite annoyed with this situation.

EDIT: Raineer, I'm actually already in your FC. lol.

I'm going to be pissed as hell if I get locked out. That was the only server I could find a FC on that wasn't hardcore.

I generally pull with Tomahawk. Adds generally come in packs of 3. So by the time they get into position for me to throw down an Overpower a Regen tick goes off and the other two run over to the WHM or pet. Causing Overpower to miss those two, making it a waste of tp.

The reason why I think it's stupid is that for regen ticks to give hate that implies that the caster is still doing something to gain that hate and they're not, the spell they casted earlier is doing something, even if I'm at full hp. I don't know maybe this is the standard and I've just never noticed because this is the first game I've played as a tank. I still think it's fairly retarded.

**arus2001** · 2013-10-14 19:40

Yeah, I think the regen aggro thing on linking is stupid, too. Let it build once a mob's been acted on, sure, but having to secure mobs with ST moves while the GCD is in place just leads to needless frustration. AK's perhaps worse due to the mob speed buff they got.

**Carth** · 2013-10-14 22:16

Well, must say I hate AK on Mondays.

Seems it brings out the people who just don't give a shit about aggro.

**Lokus** · 2013-10-14 22:18

I tend to click Regen off if it's on me if I know I won't be able to secure all the adds before it ticks. Though the occasions I do run AK and such with friends, I don't really bother too much since shit dies too fast.

I do find it weird that SE decided to go back to overhealing like in pre-1.19? when they took it off later patches. I assume it's cause tanks can't abuse the crap out of AoE healing for enmity now.

You'd hate my friends and I, we go full tilt/pulling packs from the get go. >.>

The best way to do AK.

**Lucavi** · 2013-10-14 22:25

Grab 2 packs, tank em all up, blow em all down, LB if you have to. My FC has been running 25 minute AKs (no sac) with hodge-podge setups. All we really need is someone to AOE things and someone meaty enough to tank multiple packs. Its starting to feel like a WotLK dungeon in there now, grabbing large amounts of trash and burning them down. I can't wait for trash to actually DROP THINGS!
