FFXIV Random Complaint Thread: Look forward to it

Haukke Manor HM. Cool, I have about as much HP as the WAR tank(4490 to about 6k-ish? Maybe?) Got to first boss. Wiped. Tank didn't move from the ice circles after I asked him two five times. Fucking what? Is it REALLY that hard to see blue/white circles on the red carpet, AND miss the DoT indicator on your screen?!

People bashing rage quitters. I mean when you set the iLv requirement to 82-84 and ask for "EXP PEOPLE ONLY 2 FAIL = KICK" people but then spend 50 minutes on the transition from P5 to P6 in T4, you have no right to bash anyone.

On that note: why would someone be dumb enough to stand in tornados on King Behemoth for any reason? People think it's a good idea to melee DPS inside of them and hide behind comets inside of them. Good job.

People fishing for an in-progress CT. This shit is getting really annoying. Just fucking run the whole thing and stop making me click commence 30 times

They badly need to add a lockout for withdrawing from duty.

I agree with that, I can see some reasons why someone could legitimately withdraw (realizing that you signed up with the wrong class or DF settings, or maybe you are in the middle of something that took longer than expected when the prompt pops: a synth, a cutscene, whatever...) so withdrawing once shouldn't be punished, but repeatedly withdrawing should definitely be.

[Lokus]

That shit gets worse on Sunday when people are rushing to get a KB or Archeron drop before reset. There's always room for them since lots of people drop out that wanted something from the first 2 bosses as well. Had 5 people drop the most recent CT I did right after Thanatos.

There still isn't a way to darken the chat log background.

This, and "DC'ing" immediately upon entering, I levelled smn over christmas, and the sheer amount of tanks that (just after roulette renewal) "DC'ed" immediately upon entering a dungeon over the last two weeks has been staggering.

Thinking I'd be oh so clever melding mage stats to the level 55 physical jewellery, only to find that the stat caps for those are lower than the others.

[Seravi Edalborez]

Hey, I wore Imperial Operative Choker with maxed (5) MND/VIT/some det on it for quite a while on SCH. Cheaper than melding crit onto HQ Tourmaline.

[Deathbringer]

Archeron dropping everything BUT Breeches of Light......

Also getting kicked from Roulette(WP of course) AFTER being called an elitist for having max melded accessories....

I think I'm just gonna avoid HL Roulette period :/

Real people use in progress and enter only 2/3 or 3/4

Yeah, looked it up and it's the same stats as 48/49 (whatever) since they don't get +1 when HQ'd. But it's still a little disappointing.

The problem I've had with that is it's a total crap-shoot. Sometimes you get a competent group who had a member disconnect or have to leave, sometimes you get the slot of someone who quit because the group couldn't clear Demon Wall. I feel like the odds of having a ragequit worthy shitty group are a lot higher using in-progress.

[arus2001]

Or in my case a DPS, zoning in to find I'm either now alone or with one other DPS. But yeah, I'm usually skeptical about joining an IP group because it gives me the vibe that either the tank or the healer suck(ed). It's nice to be proven wrong, but I'm a cynic at heart.

I think the whole queue hopper thing could be avoided if joining IP only was an option.

[Kirbyprime]

Real elitists level tank / healer and join in-progress because we're boss <.< ... or so I'd like to tell myself when I time out in AK because the 2 DD can't grasp the concept of repel.

I just enter, tell them to follow my lead if they wanna win

Thats it

If they did this, no one would ever queue in progress because of the lockout, and then you would never get replacements for your groups.

huh? Think you misquoted as I didn't suggest anything but I will now!

It would be nice if they did something because the withdraw abuse gets old to 3-7-23 other people all the time. Either a short cooldown (1min-3mins) that's annoying enough to deter chain withdrawing or the option to only match someone to an in progress group which removes them from the fresh queues. The latter would be best for both groups of people.
