FFXIV Random Complaint Thread: Look forward to it

It doesn't, but when the community is garbage it's not that surprising. I've had other healers try to call me out for not using MP when it was a matter of them not being able to manage their own MP well. I've seen full AF DDs on Titan blame the healers when the DDs eat everything Titan throws at them. It's also why I can barely tolerate DF anymore. People who think their hot shit because they have a Darklight Eyepatch, but can't figure out how to play the rest of the fucking game talking down to people.

I resubbed for another month, but it hardly feels worth it. The Coil is done in a couple hours one day of the week and if you missed it you're SOL (not that it's that fun to begin with). The rest of the week you cap mythology and....craft I guess?

How the fuck does that even make sense?

No biggie; was in a DF (for practice) with a Paladin that had lvl 38 accessories, AF, 48 sword.

DF is great

Edit: just got a Garuda DF that was all relic peeps... passed on first try

My only complaint is lack of anything to do after Monday. Get home from work, clear 4 AKs, clear turn 4, get no drops. Rest of the week spam WP to help others and sell a truckload of crafting mats for 40k a pop. While money is good and all, wtf do we spend it on? If housing is 6 months away then at this rate I'm gonna buy a continent. I gear up friends and family in my FC just to blow gil. The game needs more relevant content. I get this sinking feeling that CT will be a huge disappointment due to easy mode. The gear probably won't be worth it for anything other than people's secondary classes.

Extreme primals? Maybe that will be worth a glance. Maybe.

Well FC housing is in Nov/Dev, but if you mean personal, then yeah...

Gotta love the gating for trying to gear multiple jobs.

Gear blocks, in an MMO?!

Seriously though, it sounds like CT will open this up a fair bit with the lvl 80 gear. IMHO I think it's completely suitable at the moment for what's more or less top tier equipment. We just have to be a little bit "patient", whatever that means. The decision on where to spend your mythos at the moment really just hinges on which job you're going to be using the most.

I was actually surprised they responded to that thread, it's not the brightest idea. Individual job caps are a pretty fiddly idea to implement properly, you'd need to restrict it to only a couple of jobs so people didn't cap out 8 classes in a week (people would do this, at the expense of having a life). Probably the best way to do it would be to have a global cap which allowed you to spend the tomes on any job... oh wait we have that already! The core of the system doesn't need changing really.

**Hyan** · 2013-10-22 04:37

People are fooling themselves if they think we're getting tome caps on a per job basis without any repercussions. If SE doesn't want more tomes generated to the game, lifting the limitation requires another change; less tomes per run. Yes, you can cap tomes for all your jobs. You're also going to be grinding your ass out in the process though.

Most likely a welcome change for the hc peeps, anyone with a life is probably going to make a ruckus though.

At this point I can see them implementing an account cap for tomes.

I do find it funny though that if people can only max out one job then it's like the armoury system is useless? Well you're entitled to that opinion for sure.

The annoying part is you have to do Garuda via DF for your relic quest because all the shout groups require a relic for Garuda these days. I'm on Garuda for my third relic and having to wait until my FC gets round to doing another run because DF is such a waste of time. But I can see why shout groups are so demanding as I've done those all relic groups too, she drops dead so fast it's funny.

CT desperately needed to be ready at launch, it was the bridge between loldungeons and Coil, by now people have already gotten thru most all of Coil and are already frustrated with the weekly limitations on it and myths.

As far as the gear, it should handily replace DL as the bridge to ilvl 90 gear and ease the decision making when it comes to myth spending. I just wanna know how the loot is gonna work for CT.

If it's just gonna be normal RNG dungeon like AK then fucking hell. They put 20 items in a single chest in AK, I don't trust them at all to make this shit not completely retarded.

Also the gear from CT better be original in design at the very fucking least, I'm already fed up with the fact that they're reusing designs as much as they are already. They wasted a ton of art assets on the mid-level dungeon gear that rarely even gets seen or used because 1. there's no point in doing those dungeons beyond story quests and 2. you out-level the gear in a weekend anyway (assuming it even drops, see aforementioned dungeon loot RNG shit).

I don't wanna act like vanity slots are the ONE THING they really missed out on to make this shit worth something, but I'm sure as hell thinking it. And oh hey those won't be out for 2.1 either.

Not a complaint but this shit cray:

**Niiro** · 2013-10-22 11:48

Also not a complaint and unrelated to the actual point of the video, but:

What's with the icons on the hotbar that look like they correspond to emotes? Where do they come from?

/emotelist, drag an emote down to hotbar. Dunno if that's all it is but that's a thing.

They come from emotes...? I don't get what you're asking. It's probably a macro, and they used /macroicon "Some Emote" (I assume that's valid -- never tried), either that or it's actually an emote dragged in (aside from /emotelist mentioned above, you can click one of the little red circles in the mini-menu to pop up the emote list).

Gear blocks in an MMO comments don't really make much sense here because in most MMOs you have to make a new character to level a second job and are therefore free of the gear blocks from your previous job.

This. Let's not pretend that we sang praises about not having to make alts when the only solution right now is to make alts.

That's essentially what I was asking, I don't think most people would assume emotes had their own macroicons.

With the complete lack of unique macro icons aside from numbers I could find them useful for distinguishing custom macros.

Also I might as well take the chance to re-complain about that lack of unique macro icons, we even had them in ye olde 1.0, just pull them over ffs.

^^^

it makes little sense to design a game around having all jobs on one character, and then not let you gear up more than one effectively.

if anything, let dungeon lockouts be on a job basis. That way people can shoot for coil gear, and help out various ls/fc groups in the process.
