FFXIV Random Complaint Thread: Look forward to it

[Jem]

Missed the Sahagin CT fate cause I had to pee, fuckin shit... 2hrs down the drain.

I fell asleep whilst waiting for it after like 90 mins of waiting last night. Work up dead. I have no idea how long it would take one of those Sahagins to pew pew 6332 HP away but I'm guessing quite some time!

The party finder only searches for parties forming in the zone you're in, completely defeating the purpose of a search feature for parties.

What the shit.

(also 99% of people are unaware it exists)

Are you sure? I randomly created one last night [in town] and asked someone else on LS [who was mining at the time] to see if it's there, and he could see it. He only couldn't join because he was a miner.

Are you sure? It even gives a location.

There needs to be a guildhest: 24-man, after doing CT yesterday. The number of Helmet heads rushing in while discussing strategy was astounding.

Some minor nitpicks post-patch:

1. Hildebrand quest giving a Phoenix Down, while I have 3 (thought it was a fun collector piece). Didn't want to toss, so tried the "befriend a second character while I am in DF" thing, didn't get it to work (patched?) Guess I am holding out on that quest until we get that 3rd retainer we were supposed to get now? Not like I was finishing the quests with these broken FATEs. CT/Hildebrand aery can stay in FFXI, thanks.

2. Doing the customize hair quest only to see Lightning hair added extra? What happened to the additional hairstyles I thought we were getting? Left the menu while changing nothing, still had to pay 2k/use token I just got.

3. Getting fucked out of my Behemoth mount for another 3 months, because I paid 6 months after trial and no option to directly pay them more money. Time cards won't fly because apparently I am not allowed to have over 120 days in my account added by time cards. And considering I still have 90 days on my account now I am not going to test it if that is seperate from each other.

4. Bored of "dailies" after doing just 1 quest. I just hate that fuckin word which puts me down for the whole shit, weekly is fine, this can already die in a fire.

It sounds like you confirmed changes (despite there being none) rather than backing out! I cancelled it, and a prompt asked if I want to discard all changes. otherwise, if you confirmed to get out, then yeh you gotta pay.

[Appie]

Weird... but good to know for future changes, thanks.

also:

5. The fuckin data centre on logging in... does that really need a load time? Really?! Yesterday in some cases (hi 90k) it's the same fuckin character I logged out 2 mins ago. How shit goes slower for the end-user when you were spreading server load in this 24 hour patch is beyond me.

Pharos 3rd boss, holy fuck that fight was intense and amazing. Probably the best fight I have ever done in any MMO hands down....

Also 2 new hair styles, and one of them being lightning which everyone has, another just being the human hairstyle for miqote, thanks Blizzard! I mean SE!

[Gokulo]

Weren't they showing off new roegadyn hair?

They said they were only doing certain races at a time, and I think this time around (aside from the Lightning hairdo) was Roegadyn only.

And lol @ pvp. I heard it was just "Whoever gets to sleep the others 1st wins". Not to mention if people start outgearing you, you're forever fucked like WoW...but even WoW is going away from that philosophy and away from dailies. Come on SE.

[Day]

I'll take it over dickshit assholes or silence any day tbh

[ArchDizzle]

Invisible if party/others are set to anything but "Full" now in filters.

Edit: Oh I have a complaint. Haukke HM is complete shit. At least Copperbell is godly.

Isn't there a new option in config now that lets you turn off those effects seperate from the party/others option? I may be remembering it wrong when I glanced through to see what they added. If it really is not having party members/others set to full that is shit.

Unless I derped up when I tested it last night I saw the same results no matter where I went. But yeah you're right about nobody using it.

I've been slept as a bard and then we won anyway at least once or twice out of my very few runs.

I haven't looked that much into it but I've only ever noticed 1-3 parties existing max and they always seemed to be in Mor Dhona (anecdotal).

If it's the whole server/all zones then NO ONE is using this thing.

[CrstyCptSteveWitherspoon]

PvP seems kinda dumb with two unlockable skills for every class yet they're on a 300s cooldown(180 if you max it). The PvE skills just aren't tuned for PvP play and overall seems kinda bland. Like people said, whoever sleeps first wins.

Also found it annoying they reused sunken temple for a lv50 main story quest. Hi, I'm level 50 doing the main story and I need need to level sync to a level 35 dungeon to progress. Seems like they're recycling content where they shouldn't be. Why not use that dungeon for, oh I don't know, maybe a lv 30-35 quest?

Anyone confirm the amount of t2 tokens from CT? Got up to the 2nd to last boss but only got t1 on the way. Also, is there another 'turn' after you beat it? Or is that it?

I'm told that a full completion is 200Philo 50Myth, and that the labyrinth is the only thing in this patch, so that one dungeon is it.

[Slycer]

So, wait. I'm not resubbed currently because I wanted to get some 2.1 impressions before I kept throwing money at SE.

Are you saying that to get into CT, you have to complete an over-farmed FATE?

Four of them.
