FFXIV Random Complaint Thread: Look forward to it

[Eddard]

Queued for wp only to get a retard at tank. Guy couldn't hold threat or pull. Was afraid of running past the big tonberries. So on the final boss he pulls it and runs out of the arena. Not being able to vote kick people like this annoys me to no end.

^Wish he'd do us all a favor and quit the game he is so bad at.

Maybe I was unlucky tonight, but I'm starting to think the amount of FATE PTs is starting to dry up, which sucks for me.

[Grey Jorildyn]

Maybe. Remember that TESO, Hex, and Hearthstone beta invites went out this weekend too. Stuff like that effects every popular game.

[Corrderio]

Ah right. I have mine, but from what I heard it really doesn't look all that great. Oh well, maybe I"ll have better luck tomorrow. Want to get Stoneskin unlocked before Thanksgiving so that's why I'm kind of rushing.

Would say people are more spread out in general now. Time of day will certainly affect your chances, too. Honestly, FATE parties aren't really needed, they just make the occasional super boss FATE easier to gold with.

It's gotten to the point where I can't even log on to cap myths anymore because every form of content in this game is boring to me and I'm burned out on EVERYTHING, yet I haven'tplayed past myth/coil capping the past month and a half.

HM Garuda- why do MTs tank INSIDE the tornados?? I just want my axe and be free

[Carth]

Haven't you heard? The tornado heals you.

Bads gonna bad. Only reason to be in the tornado is to lure the first slipstream after sisters on the north end.

I wish switching between SCH and SMN was easier and didn't require a decent amount of fate grinding. I have 3 scrolls saved up and 4 more in points technically but I know that if I started spending myth on my SMN I'd have to make the switch every time I wanted to play it and only for a short moment of time.

Got a chance to play SMN on one of my officer's characters in turn 5 yesterday and after I got the hang of it... my actual DPS was insane. Summoner seems like arguably the highest DPS job given it's geared with +1/myth/allagan. Makes me sad I can't really play it.

Having to deal with DF for WP. Good god the people I get...

If you're referring to ESO, it's alright. Has a lot of work ahead, but it's refreshing to play a game without built-in .3 sec lag, and a UI that works (when it doesn't lock up anyway).

[Corrderio]

Any game is pretty much a breath of fresh air after dealing with idiots via DF and FATE grinding.

I had two parties this last weekend that couldn't dps faster than the slime boss spawned slimes, despite having Ifrit weapons. It was confusing.

Monk is #1 DPS.
Stat points are bullshit, so is coil weekly lock outs. Oh you can play every job on a single character? Have fun never actually being able to.

[Deadgye]

Our blm couldn't make coil this week so we arranged a replacement. Then during turn 4 our second brd had to emergency afk and said to replace him if he takes too long. Right as I confirm a replacement for him the replacement-blm says he has to go afk and will be back later. We wait a bit to see if either of them will pop up as the time our main tank has remaining is growing shorter and shorter. Eventually I say fuck it and grab someone who's fresh to coil to see how far we can get/if it's possible. Understandably the dps isn't high enough and after a handful of attempts we call it so the main tank can go.

We've literally had a different setup for every week since we started coil because of switching a member to get a third group started or switching a member so a group can change their run times or using a replacement because a member can't make it for some reason last notice. If any one of the things that happened today didn't happen, then we could have cleared it. The stars aligned today to prevent us from clearing turn 4 today.

Fuck you universe.

I feel exactly that way, its just so painful to log in just to do 10 WP to cap 300 Myths.. It feel like a job/duty and blow the fun away.

To compensate and kill the time I have joined some random /sh group that needed a tank or a DD for Hydra/Chimera/Ifrit/Garuda and geez I can tell you it felt nothing like XI.
We are surrounded by rude players/slackers who doesn't even appreciate the game themselve, so to appreciate the time random people give them? lol..

I really miss the time where I made friends just by PLing a party in Valkurm dune on my PLD50 who freshly had got raise, this was a wonderful feeling and people were really thanksfull for your time.

Nowaday? wont even bother talking about it lol.

Same boat. Had 15 more myth to cap this week since wednesday and I didn't bother logging in to do it. Used to try to help people get stuff done as well on my tank but people are just so terribad and won't listen to helpful instructions and are generally so ungrateful I just don't even bother anymore. Don't really like comparing XI to XIV but you're absolutely right where if you helped someone in XI they were so much more grateful than in this shitstorm of a game.

It is true that XI & XIV shouldn't be compared game/mechanics wise, however we're all human behind our chars I believe? lol, if you leave the bots and such. So comparing mentalities shouldn't be taboo there.

I just really wonder what happened since XI, it was my 1st MMO so I don't have alot of experience when it come to social life/communauty inside MMOs.

But I made so many friends just by hanging around raising random ppl, PLing or even helping them farm an item for their AF1 (aka the WHM shoes item in Oztroja.) Now you raise someone either they are AFK, or so they get up and run away without a simple "ty". If you start talking to them & try to be friendly/take interest in them they get offended thinking you're a weirdo of some sort because you ask simple questions such as "What made you play this game?"

When you pair that with the lack of fun in the game you just doesn't want to bother loging in, because the game itself isn't funny & the playerbase is savage.

[Taruranto]

I liked going around raising and teleporting/warping people in XI too when I was bored, it was so fun (one of the reason i was BLM/WHM was because it could do so many things). ;_;

This game has nothing like this, you won't find any low-level stuck in some hard position/lost in la theine plateau trying to get to the dunes/road for Jeuno because they can just teleport and death has no penalty. It sounds kinda dickish "i like to help low level ppl lol", but it really made the game-world much more interesting to me.
