FFXIV Random Complaint Thread: Look forward to it

Every PF on Hyperion that says they're experienced or "farming", isn't. It's just wiping for as long as you have patience for, as far as I've seen.

Not sure I agree with SE's ilevels for fights. You take 61s into Ultima and you'll be there til he casts. It's a DPS check just like Titan HM was. You end up having to set the ilevel for PF high just so people can't blag it.

Same thing happening to me, doesn't matter if I join them alone or I make one with 3-4 other friends and fill the rest of the party via PF, doing anything harder than CT is a waste of time.

Ultima should really be on farm status in DF/PF now, it certainly is on Tonberry.

Garuda though, yeah, still having to wade through terrible groups.

Personally I'd say Ultima is more difficult than Garuda Ex.

Personally I'd say Ultima is more difficult than Garuda Ex.

The only difficulty in Ultima HM is the framerate crushing multi-plane crashes.

[Jem]

For Ultima HM I couldn't get a win for toffee in PF because DD's/Healers kept dying from not dodging or messing up orbs. Had to get the FC come out to kill it for me.

Garuda Ex is pretty much just a DPS check. Only the MT has anything remotely difficult to deal with (and even that isn't that bad).

Doesn't really have anything to do with framerate it's just the explosion effects completely filling the screen so you can't see a damn thing.

Like Meteor if you have all effects turned on for your party.

I have alot more luck with pug garuda ex than ultima, I think there are less good players on ultima seeing as its just stepping-stone gear. As a healer I find garuda and ultima to be comparable in difficulty as long as the others know what they are doing.

A lot of the same people continuously do PF, its important to start remembering which people are good and who are bad to save time. I've tried to give people the benefit of the doubt but some people can't be helped. If you do well its more likely you can just talk to other people you've run with previously to start full or partial parties and go from there.

Still trying to get my titan ex win. Went with a group where we were waiting for a guy who said he'd be back and never returned, ended up starting so late that half of use were too tired to do many runs and of course your reaction time slows. Had horrible lag new years, but seems to have fixed itself.

people who leave w/o pass or lotting the final chest item

thanks i really wanted to wait 300s for this item to drop

bonus hate: the fact that i have to fucking wait 300s for this item to drop to me when i'm the only one in the area

[Raldo]

That... shouldn't ever happen. When has that happened to you? Leaving the instance is effectively an automatic pass. That's why people complain about getting loot in CT if everyone else in their party leaves before they've had the chance to pass.

I'm guessing that this is new and was changed for CT, but applies to every dungeon. Just one more display of how poorly designed their CT drop system is.

Not in regular dungeons or primals anymore and its annoying as fuck. Use to auto-pass no idea why it doesnt now.

For sure for Ultima pt's. I've yet to clear Ultima with a PF group.

But I did do both Titan X and Ifrit X yesterday with 2 different PF groups, which was a pleasant surprise. Glad I was able to get this week's clear with FC still recovering from holidays.

Greeeeeeat, yet another thing they neglected to mention in some patch notes then, I guess. I hadn't experienced this yet. I guess that makes my random complaint incomplete patch notes.

Really hoping its a glitch that gets corrected soon and not something they did on purpose for some asinine reason like being able to select which quests you track.

Doing X primals yesterday and half the pt left as soon as they saw drop didn't apply to them. Remaining 4 didn't have to wait 300s.

Pretty sure it's not a glitch. People were complaining that if you were the last one in a group and hadn't gotten a chance to pass, you'd get the item and then get locked out for the week.

It works that way in CT, but not for lower level dungeons. (Or, any other ones, really-- I've had to wait the full 300s in Pharos Sirius too)

I got that on Satasha :/

I haven't paid attention since 2.1, but I know that I constantly auto-got drops in AK or WP if people left without passing. I'll have to check again the next couple of times I do lower level dungeons.
