FFXIV Random Complaint Thread: Look forward to it

[Meresgi]

I think CT's version of KB is even more boring then the HNM in FFXI. At least your heart got racing if you won/botted claim 1st lol.

Last week I ended up doin' 30+ runs for the Crimson legs and after them never dropping, I decided fuck it, I'll go WAR and get a body. That run dropped my legs and the SMN won with a need lot.

[fren.]

PF Titan EX. DPS thinks their damage is high (DPS are like MNK BRD BLM SMN). They saw 2nd mountain buster in phase 1 and were only ~50% at heart phase when circle bombs hit (despite in some cases everyone being alive, and everyone being relic+1). I call them on this, and a BRD dismisses my comment since I have i70 Astral accessories with VIT melds. Gee yeah I'd love to just spontaneously have ~1k myth, or not have drop rates suck. Doesn't mean I can't call your terrible DPS terrible.

Then someone leaves and we're at to BLM BRD DRG. Leader says a SMN wants to join. He tells the BLM (i~85) to switch to his BRD (i~72) because casters are garbage at Titan and he doesn't want to have 2 casters. The SMN was also like 2 pieces away from full i90.

Kill me.

e: Really people setting their PF to avg i85-ish are just retarded. Trying to mask how awful they are with gear. Doesn't fly in Titan EX.

I had one shitlord "deny" me entry into a Titan EX because my iLvl failed to meet his level 84 criteria. Mind you I basically have full myth/one allagan (lol drops)/and two melded gryph pieces. They should probably do something to raise the iLvl of those pieces taking into account how many melds you have on em.

Whenever the ilvl is set way too high for my blm or smn I just put on all my tanking accessories and push my ilvl up to 84ish and then join and swap my gear back to astral shit lol

ilvl requirements are party finder masturbation. Fuck 'em.

[Melena]

God the morality police on the forums raging about the new ADS zerg method. I'm all for doing shit the right way but I've lost track of how many times i've seen the blunt arrow animation go off only to have high voltage hit and I see my silence isn't even on CD.

I've not run into anyone preventing me from doing stuff because of my melded accessories yet, but I've felt this way as well. I think an extra .5 iLv per meld tier would be adequate. That would put a 4,4,3,3,2 melded 70 accessory at iLv78, which seems reasonable enough.

This is what I do. I can heal (sch) or dps (bard) all content easily, but when ppl do retardrd ilv e-peen runs (that can be worse than other lower ilv Grp) I just put on random Coil accessories I've gotten for other jobs and then switch back

[Jaybar]

Dude, did you run this with a hyur F PLD called Delicious Succubus (my alt)? Otherwise you have a creepy identical twin somewhere who had an identical run.

Idk it's quite possible! Was I wearing a Titan bow? lol. I honestly don't really remember the name (of either chars).

[Katlan]

anybody been getting 5k maps recently? my FC used to get 5k for every single boss treasure and now we aren't getting 5k for anything. wonder if its just terrible RNG and we had great luck before or if they did nerf it

if they did actually nerf it then fuck you SE... fuck you. was a dent way to make money for that stupid expensive FC house ya know

[Jaybar]

We were only getting 1.6k for every peiste map. You were getting 5k the whole time?!

used to get 5k for every piestskin boss map. now 5k seems stupid rare

[Niiro]

A couple 5k today, rest 1.6.

[Null]

used to get 5k for every piestskin boss map. now 5k seems stupid rare

Been doing like 10 maps a day and 5k is very rare like 1/10 for us.

[Jaybar]

Ok - it seems like even the loot chest has a rare chance to not pop at all! Philo stack items are super rare as well (got 8 peacock ores once - ONCE!)

[Eldelphia]

5k seems to have disappeared for me

Anytime I need to do something strict like that I make sure to stop doing stuff for like 2~3 full seconds, this thing where animations and actions get canceled because of previous ones is fucking ridiculous in a game that requires such precise timing, they seriously need to fix this shit. Even worse than what you're describing is when the game shows the animation, eats your cooldowns but doesn't give you the effect, I have this happen to Aetherflow all the time for some reason, second most is Invigorate.

[Day]

idk i'd almost rather see the cooldown go off than standing there like an idiot with it still up and everyone bitching about HV lol.

[Kincard]

You'd rather it not fire plus eat your cooldown instead of it just not firing? I mean yeah we'd all would rather have it actually fucking do the action when we press the button but I don't really see what you're trying to say

[Day]

either way when talking about blunt arrow shits already happened that you were supposed to silence so it matters very little. to me it's more annoying to still have the cooldown up and have seen the animation. that's just me though.

if it's on cooldown at least I can say "I'm on cooldown idk what you want" when it's not on cooldown I just feel like a fool.

What is the zerg method? I've only ever done the "proper" method I guess? o_O
