FFXIV Random Complaint Thread: Look forward to it

[Judai]

apparently it's only Coil or instances...

[Serenseven]

Not just Coil, I crashed out of WP and can't get back in.

[Seravi Edalborez]

Yeah I can see it on my alt. You're "still logged in" to the instance but can't log in to get out. Welp.

[Serenseven]

Crystal Tower seems to still be working, listening to my FC mates bitch at the stupids.

[Cloudius]

DF not working?

edit: nvm it isn't for Chaos data center

[FHT]

Welp, looks like I'm done with the game. Killed Ifrit and went "meh...". Just so many things are off putting.

Will be logging in a couple of nighs to help my coil static to clear it until they can find a replacement for me (10 days left at the mogstation after all), but other than that, I already gave up all my stuff and I'm ready to deinstall.

I feel exactly like that sometimes. Only thing that keep me on at the moment is the fact my g/f restarted playing & I am helping her to catch up. but I know that when she will get to the point of Myths farming she will do it once or twice then give up.

I am a patient person and pretty friendly in game. That said, if I get Pharos in roulette, I instantly bail and accept the 30 min penalty. First time I rolled into it was right after 2.1; we wiped like 8x and timed out after 90 mins despite me telling everyone what to do. Yesterday I decided to give it another shot and we were clearly not going to clear it ~50 mins in so I bailed. It's just not worth it; wish I had never unlocked it.

I never passed the 1st boss and I made a solid 20 attempt, absolutely everytime I did it, I had crap DDs, I got cursed probably 15 times out of the 20 because apparently its my role as tank to take the adds for them. I'm fine with that, but most of the time it was crappy relic/+1 non-relic DDs who would take mins to kill one wolf..

I mean seriously... you don't need to read a guide/watch a video to know that the corrupted crystal debuff is deadly for a tank, it just take you to observe a minimum to understand it, but when you explain it to them they refuse to listen and bail out calling you a noob or ignorant.

In most case its what piss me off the most, people refusal to learn a good way to do things & put the blame on others because before X use to do this or Y use to do that.

Things change, new things are added and its like most people refuse to adapt.

Finally catching up and getting my sword and shield on PLD to see what a lot of you had bitched about in this thread. Some people are so bad it hurts. Running ifrit HM in DF to watch the same retards die and repeat the same mistakes over and over again is just sad. Said fuck it with Garuda and Titan and gathered ppl I knew to 1 shot them.... Except for Titan, the first attempt he was at about 25% and I went to position for bombs and suicide leapt to the abyss, couldn't stop laughing.

[OWS_Tonx]

I did that earning my PLD relic lol. Went to my back right to avoid bomb damage and fell off. that was with a DF group, they didn't find it nearly as funny as I did.

[ArchDizzle]

The initial FUCK and then uncontrolable laughter was a good time.

Could be because my pld is 10 ilvls ahead of my war as far as gear goes, but my pld has wayyyy more burst than my war so long as spirits within and cos are up. Throw in fight or flight and sword oath for solo and it's just not a competition. They really should give war another 1-2 off GCD abilities for a small dps boost and just to make the class more fun in general. I play pld and I'm constantly rotation non gcd abilities between my attacks. For war it's pretty boring. I know pld basically boils down to halone combo while war you can rotate BB and path but still. Pld (imo) is still more fun to play.

Of course that could just be because SE can't seem to understand that tanks need accuracy on gear and I can't equip half my i90 stuff because of accuracy issues.

Also: Fracture should be a non GCD ability.

I do agree with that.

I really think WAR should have an ability like the mages one, that swap INT & MND, but for VIT & STR? since everyone sees it as an OT, it would just be so wonderfull to have some kind of reverse ability allowing us to swap around and go nuts with damages.

[The Stig]

Despite Fight or Flight, but by eyeballing I don't feel because of CoS and Spirits Within that my burst is that much higher (if we're talking within 30 seconds, but within 5 seconds, yeh I can agree). On WAR if I'm off (or not really) tanking I usually swap out all my jewellry for the DPS ones and go to down with that. Without my tanking stance (Defiance) and with Berserk and Internal release up, I can land 300-500 crits on Heavy Swing/Maim and up to 800+ crits on my finishers. This is with full ilvl70 gear and Bravura ilvl80 though.

Just a thought. I play both classes too.

EDIT: On second thought, maybe because of Shield Oath ... lol

[Niiro]

People tend to underestimate PLD's damage potential because Sword Oath hardly puts up any big numbers but it's essentially a really potent DoT that's on fulltime.

It's similar to how people underestimate SMN damage vs BLM damage.

[CrstyCptSteveWitherspoon]

Honestly sword/shield oath should be off GCD. If that was the case then swapping during a fight would be common practice where dps is needed and you're currently not the main tank(titan/turn 4/turn 5 all come to mind). A whm cleric stance like ability for war would be nice too for vit > str swaps as said above. Would really help to spice up the classes a bit, not that much, but as least you feel like you're making more of a difference.

Sylph Daily Quests on my laptop. The game just barely runs on it and the stealth-daily is nearly impossible with it. I cannot explain why, but with the FPS I get, I run slower than other people. I noticed that in the past when people simply sped past me on mounts, but it really makes a difference if you get the daily-version that requires you to run west. Managed to "fix" the problem by zooming in and looking at my character from a ~50° angle.

magitek menace is a shit

magitek menace is a shit

Go get the item before you get the quest. Pretty much guarantees you won't get the quest again! Had that item rotting in my invent for like a week now after preemptively getting it -_-

Got that one today. Waited 20 minutes for it to pop. Completed. Inv was full. Wait another 30-40 minutes for it to pop again to complete it. FML

Was actually testing this out the other night in T5 while offtanking. Sword Oath PLD (tank gear) as OT I was averaging ~120DPS up to divebombs and WAR w/ Defiance (DPS Accs) I was averaging right around 150DPS up to divebombs. Curtana +1 vs. Dual Haken.

If WAR uses their burst damage correctly it can be huge. For example: Have storm's eye ready as conflag pops -> land it -> berserk + internal release -> IB -> IB can be around 2500 damage if you count the storm's eye damage all in 3 GCDs.

With unchained in CT the other day (in tank accs) I was tanking KB and dropped a few 850ish Butcher's Blocks on KB to set hate. Actually really surprised me.

Allagan Caster body still MIA after 14 or so runs....
