FFXIV Random Complaint Thread: Look forward to it

[fren.]

Having to watch cutscenes so I can skip them using the skip option. Retarded.

[Dathus]

So, as much as I love Vote Kick, apparently that does NOT give a Time-Out penalty?
We kicked a healer who wouldn't stop using Fluid Aura on shit I was DIRECTLY tanking and then Reposing them away in Cutter's Cry.
We Vote Dismiss(because he continued to do it 3+ times after the ENTIRE party requested him not to), and not even two minutes later, he's back in the dungeon.
Fuck you, Square. Fuck. You.

it's quite absurd, I've experienced people who decided to force us to kick to avoid the penalty for withdrawing when they got dungeons they didn't want in roulette etc.

Well, at least you can Vote Withdraw now, which gives no penalty. However I now have four hours before I can Vote Dismiss again.

[Sephiroth]

If you got a penalty for being vote kicked that would suck even more for those who were kicked for no fault of their own. (usually for loot purposes) It should ban you from the instance you were just kicked from however to prevent the situation above.

I'm RPing an ice mage. It's my $12.99.

But for 3 more dollars you could have 40 RPing characters!

They added the option to skip travel cutscenes that you've sen before, I don't see why they can't do it for other CSs as well.

It would be a godsend for PS3 players since it takes them so goddamn long to load and skip CSs.

[OWS_Tonx]

lol before i upgraded to ssd, any attempt I made at doing a SR Praet was bad. Dudes were already AoEings mob before i could skip the CS sometimes.

I must be retarded because this Perilous Pumpkins daily from the Sylphs takes me six or seven tries every time I get it. The Sylphs around the delivery point are in seemingly unavoidable locations.

Every time I've done it, I've just made a bee-line for the destination and clicked it since there's no "interaction" involved. Never have the 1~3 Lightning hits I might take in the process caused me to fail.

[Obsidian]

I always end up dropping it right in front of the damn drop spot because of that last sylph that can hit you the whole way there. It sucks lol.

It annoys me that pretty much every Ifrit extreme pf group always says range only. But I don't let it get to me to much because I get it done every week. But now I am starting to see Titan farm parties that say range only. Wtf kind of benefit do you get for stacking range in that fight as well?

[Kaisha]

Not dealing with idiot melee who can't flank in one spot, or know how to bait landslides properly.

Also had a group where a drg & mnk were flanking on both sides of Titan, putting plumes all over the bloody place.

That's a sign of a party you wouldn't want to join.

I can see it for Garuda or Ifrit (I go as a BLM for them because you barely have to look at the screen), because it makes it very easy and ranged DDs/healers don't have to move much, but there's no reason to stack rangeds on titan unless the party just sucks.

I can avoid plumes fairly easily, but 10/10 times when I get hit it's due to a melee popping an extra one on the side I happen to be running to. Fuck that.

When I go melee I always tell my group that I do my flank combos on the right in case that happens

[Elcura]

I hope my party has eyes and if they see me on the right they can run left. Most of the time they do not have eyes, or a brain, so they get hit like lemons because dodging is hard. Or they do the prometheus thing and just straight back along the longest line of plumes rather than ducking out to the left or right.

Basically, people suck at dodging.

Then you are playing with bads. It's not that melees are bad for the fight.

[solracht]

10/10 times when I get hit by a plume it's because I was actually slow at moving or I was alt tabbing. Unless you have five guys being retarded with plume stacking and covering every possible escape route, you can avoid getting hit as long as you have some awareness.

If a melee is flanking during stomps, just get ready to slightly adjust your trajectory.

Is it that difficult to realize there's someone over there and run the other way? It's not often you find a melee that will flank on both sides. Most stick to one side or the other. It takes about two seconds to notice where a melee is flanking from.
