FFXIV Random Complaint Thread: Look forward to it

Somehow ended up with 299/300 Myth for the week (Relic running someone). Really can't bring myself to DF/PUG anything to get the remaining 1 Myth but have a feeling it will come back to bite me in the ass down the line...

As somebody who didn't fully capitalize on the myth cap reset in the 2 weeks after launch, that xx9 amount is annoying as fuck.

So they changed leves to stack to 100 because people hated being forced to log on every day and do the same shit everyday or they were at a disadvantage and lost out on a huge boost of exp/gil/loot, so they add dailies and myth tomes that force the same things onto us?

Weird.

Also, get with the times SE, people despise dailies. The crowd went completely insane at Blizzcon when blizzard announced the next WOW expansion will no longer have dailies.

This, so much. It bothers me that they have two opposing systems which accomplish the same thing -- limiting the player's progression. I think the allowance system is better because it allows for more flexibility, I can choose to do once a day, or I can bulk up on the weekend. Would be awesome if there was some roll-over.

This so much. I wanna not meet cap by a small amount to make it more of an even number, but I know the moment I do I will cap that amount short of an item the next week @_@

One thing we wanted to avoid was situations where free companies wanted to build a house but couldn't because the land was sold out. We also examined all of the free companies across all Worlds, how many members there were, and how much gil each member possessed. We've been proactively removing RMT, but there is still a bit of RMT gil left in the economy which we've accounted for when creating the pricing.

In patch 2.1 you'll be able to generate a bit more gil. Battle classes can earn an average of 15,000-18,000 gil per day, and with role bonuses in the Duty Roulette this can exceed 20,000 gil. Doing this several days a week you can save up quite a bit of gil, and if all FC members do the same, it will become a considerable amount. We estimate that by doing this for around three months you should be able to purchase land.

For new users playing on Legacy servers, there were questions about how they would be able to purchase land as it's much more expensive, so moving forward we will be making adjustments to the lower limits. The prices listed in the patch notes are the high prices, and there have been comments that no one will buy them, but again, we will look at conditions and look into reducing the lower limits. We'll be keeping a close on eye on how everyone is making gil and on the economic conditions for each World.

We understand that the initial prices for housing are extremely high, but this is a patch filled with a lot of content, so as you are having fun and enjoying everything the price will come down.

Further acknowledgement that SE is full of monkeys. Really pissed off the auto resub was for three months and not just one.

So anyone else starting the patch now that's unable to reach acceptable download speeds? Server is tossing me dial-up quality download rates, so I'm done trying for the next few hours.

[arioch]

you can still pay 12.99 per month if you change your subscription to entry. Unless you're using all 40 characters? Honestly there isnt any reason to pay 15.99 or pay for more then 1 month at a time.

I had anything from 0.2MB/sec to 12MB/sec during the patching. Superhappy that its alot better then the patching in XI was/is atleast

Just leave it running, it rubber bands a bit but then comes back to reasonable speeds.

OMG the horror! I remember patching XI for 14 hours straight when I first got it. Then the constant dropouts, resets... ugh. Nothing beat coming home from work only to find out the patch had crapped out the second you'd walked out the door in the morning.

HELL YEAH, 400MILLION FOR A PLOT OF LAND!

Pvp is as terrible as i knew it would be. Matches boil down to which group has a blm to sleep and if both have a blm it's whoever gets theirs off first. Swiftcast +sleep and then whoever is lagging less wins pretty much every time. CT lockouts, housing prices, terrible pvp and lame job nerfs have almost killed this patch for me.

Get rank3, it takes like 5 wins and completely counters swiftcast sleep.

My team is 25-7 without a BLM in premade 4v4.

[Kiarax]

Popping Purify or not clusterfucking in sleepga range might be a good idea.

[Seravi Edalborez]

Would say 2BRD is far more annoying than BLM's sleep, but maybe that's just from rolling in DF town.

Bard's do zero damage and has no way to set up kills, 2 bards will never kill anyone. Can you dispel aetherflow? If so this game is unplayable for SCH and SMN's in PVP.

[Corrderio]

The settings tool being saved client side instead of server side. Which is weird since I think your character data for character creation is saved on their server.

I dunno, 2 BRDs hounding one guy's ass was pretty much impossible to heal through with SCH (miasma) supporting them.

lmao, nope

EDIT: in regard to the PVP statement, that strat doesn't work when you stop giving a shit about their blm cause you have purify

2 bards AND a smn? That's completely unviable, you have zero way to keep the target in place and no way to set up any type of burst.

[Seravi Edalborez]

DF, not like either team had a choice in having 0 sleeps.

[Naiya]

What in fuck's name is with these CT Fate Requirements? holy shit, they're on like a 2 hour cycle or some fucking nonsense! who's idea was that? o.o
