FFXIV Random Complaint Thread: Look forward to it

[Seravi Edalborez]

One of the annoying intricacies of partyfinder: say you have 2 healer slots. The first is any healer, the 2nd is specifically SCH. If I join on SCH, I fill the first slot rather than the SCH-only slot.

This is pretty stupid design. On the amusing side I (switched to WHM) have Allagan book and the SCH had Allagan cane so we just laughed and swapped jobs.

The fact that if you blacklist a person, you can still see what that person says when in a dungeon ....

[Niiro]

Is the low level duty roulette.....broken?

I've done it a few times on my mule/alt and I always get the 1st 3 dungeons, but then when I go to level WHM in the mid-level ones not only are the wait times crap (even for a healer) but I never see any duty roulette high lvls.

[RKI]

They said it's biased to low-level dungeons and will reduce this bias in 2.15

WoW bitching in my FFXIV random complaint thread? It's more likely than you think.

Fuck MoP for ruining dailies. Dailies were fine until that fucking expansion. For those who didn't play, the game was basically a FUCKTON of dailies to do everyday. All day, err day: dailies, dailies, dailies.

So now, of course trying to get my brain to want to do the dailies in FFXIV is almost impossible. Shit ain't that serious in this game, but just the thought of the concept makes my eyes twitch. awlsdkjsdfsdlkjsdlkfjsd

^ hard for me to do dailes too, WoW dailies trauma

[Niiro]

The good news is there's nothing to get from dailies in XIV except vanity crap.

They don't even give decent exp for the time they take.

I've never played WoW and the beast dailies are fucking tedious/boring, end of story. I had the same natural aversion to boring daily content in SWTOR. Got rank 1 on both tribes and have barely touched them since. Pretty much right as I realised the quests seemed to get even more tedious and boring as you rank up.

I'd rather sit around and do craft leves than the nauseating daily busy work.

They don't even give decent exp for the time they take.

Yep, even when quests match your level, they give garbage EXP.

[Seravi Edalborez]

I just do them (and guildhest + inprogress high roulette) for the gil at this point. 'Cause nothing else really gives raw gil, and I can only sell so much shit on market boards.

[Ksandra]

to go off on this, I brought myself to do it and now I am either missing something or the quest I am on is glitched.

It's the "Not Who They Seem" quest where you throw bombs on suspicious npcs/objects.

I have a shifty crone standing right in front of me and no matter where I place the bomb on her it says it is unable to locate the target.

Can there be more than three? I have run around everywhere and I haven't seen any others (outside of the two I already hit obviously).

[Seravi Edalborez]

Tier 1 has a couple different "throw the bombs on the NPC" things, just make sure it's the right kind I guess if you have say the one where you throw bombs on imperials also.

[blowfin]

"Throw bombs on the suspicious looking roast turkey" for example.

[Ksandra]

ya the npc has one of those completion markers over her heads, and I already did the other two, so I know it has to be this one. idk just gonna skip it I guess.

[edit] was able to abandon it and get a different set of three.

Implying that the Amal'ja minion isn't the single best thing in the game should be punishable by I-don't-even-know-what.

[Seravi Edalborez]

Fuck gravity, I'm on a drake.

Spoiler: show

Would complaining about allagan weapon drops be acceptable or is that first world problems? Over 20 something total twin kills in the FC and not a single MNK weapon amongst any of the groups...... yet I see them everywhere on people who obviously leveled it as a second job. /facedesk

[Rocl]

Three out of four of our last kills have been allagan baghnakh clamps

[Sephiroth]

Those Titan PF groups that demand you've beaten it and state they'll queue for Ifrit to test piss me off. Like having beaten the fight makes any difference in a game where buying wins and getting carried is common. That's no measure of skill.

I'm fine with the die before heart = kick etc. parties because that is a real skill check. You can usually tell after a run who is no good and the threat of a kick will put most off who can't do it from joining to begin with.

Shouldn't knowing the fight and being able to dodge be enough? It's not my fault if the shitty groups I'm joining always fail when the two adds pop.

To be honest, I don't think that many people actually pay to get the clear. Titan is a decent competence check. From my experience, parties that queue Ifrit will be far more likely to be successful at Garuda/Titan than the ones that won't. If a farming or weekly clear party starts off by wiping, you're risking to piss off the actually competent people within it, which might quickly lead to it breaking apart, regardless of the leader's will to weed out.
