FFXIV Random Complaint Thread: Look forward to it

Tbh, greed roll is greed roll. If you want to get loot on a specific job you should come to the raid on it, can't pug people and expect them to pass on shit for your alt classes.

[Niiro]

No, shitty people are shitty people.

Short of personal loot pools or token/currency only systems people need to not act like cunts if you want any kind of fair loot distribution from events like BC.

If nobody talks about how loot is being divvied, maybe. When it's discussed in advance? Then yeah it's extremely shitty to ninja loot. Also how is it more justified for the guy to greed gear for his level 13 alt class vs other peoples' at 50 with actual gear?

Whaaaaaat.

You're being stupid, stop being stupid. Anyone with a brain can see how shitty that is.

Is there any way to stop the opening FMV from playing at the start menu.

Is there a file somewhere for it you can rename/remove?

Quoted from someone on reddit:

Turns out, the video is just a renamed WMV. It can be replaced with any other WMV easily, and FFXIV will start playing it in place of the intro when it goes idle.

The video is named 00001.dat and it's in the game\movie\ffxiv folder inside your FFXIV install directory. Deleting it causes the game to hang when it tries to play, but replacing it just plays the video you put in its place!

For safe keeping, I just renamed the existing 00001.dat to 00001.wmv, and then copied in my own small 1 second blank WMV and renamed it to 00001.dat.

Now, when the game goes idle, the screen just fades to black and then returns to the menu screen. So much better!

On my PC, here's the full path:
C:\Program Files (x86)\SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn\game\movie\ffxiv\00001.dat

For those who don't want to create their own 1 second WMV, I put the one I used up for download:

Word.

Which brings to mind another complaint: {word} isn't in the auto-translate anymore. Using it outside of the auto-trans just doesn't have the same effect.

[Seravi Edalborez]

{fun} and {excitement} are also missing. Which some would say is fitting.

Rapid Synthesis isn't in it either. I also miss {sweets}.

yay coil drama, atleast you guys have a decent static up until T5 i suppose.

My server sucks balls deep that most groups are full, and PF has people who can't...wait nvm more than 85% of my server have "lag" issues and cannot dodge. This is from doing Titan ex for like the 90th time now and still havent beaten it due to other people's shitty mistakes. And no, there is no group available atm to join.

/endrant Fuck this game.

[Kaisha]

Can't vote kick with items in the pool.

Someone remind me why the game is afraid to show current lot/pass status before an item drops like XI? It's not like they could kick you if you don't oblige by the rules still, but it'd prevent ninjas at least.

At least they're working on it

Greetings,

One of the first things we are looking into doing is adding a system so information is displayed in the chat log regarding who lotted on an item.

We've received a lot of requests to make it possible to pass after you've already lotted on an item, but due to the current system as well as prospects for the future we do not have any plans to implement this at the moment.

Also, while this isn't limited to only the topic at hand, it's extremely difficult to prevent human error by creating perfect rules within the game system as it becomes something that forces players to go through a cumbersome process. (Such as going through multiple confirmation windows.)

Naturally we will continue to make changes to the system for improvements, but ultimately we feel that there are situations where we would like you to decide on the rules amongst yourselves. Before entering a duty, make sure that all party members are informed of the agreement and who is able to lot on which item. All party members should agree to those terms before entering to ensure an agreement is clearly understood.

Breaking these agreements, or behavior that imposes on other players' enjoyment of the game, will not be tolerated. If after an investigation it's confirmed that a player clearly understood the rules when joining a group and still acted in such a manner, proper action will be taken against the player, which may include confiscation of the item or account suspension, so please avoid doing anything like this.

ffff, wish I had known this so I could report the people that needed on shit they were supposed to greed on.

Anyone actually have something come out of a situation like that though or is it typical SE PR crap?

Ya that's what I figured.

I am going to post this here because I don't want to get yelled at for making a new thread when it's so similar to this.

My FC and I came up with the BIG LIST OF ANNOYING SHIT THAT NEED TO BE FIXED OR ALLOW ADDS ON FOR AND FUCK YOU SE:

So, here we go.

-Be able to switch retainers without leaving the menu all the way

-While Mounted be able to: Start Quests, Talk to NPCs, Eat Food, Start Leves
-Finishing Crafting takes you out of chat mode
-Portable Company Chests/Retainers
-Ability to talk to or see people online while in dungeons
-Be able to use LS/FC windows while in a Duty
-Items linked in chat
-Achievements linked in chat
-The lock in CT/Coil to be changed-
-Or at least if you forget to PASS an item in CT it doesn't auto drop, fuck you SE
-Or if it happens, it doesn't count as your item
-Search Inventory ability
-Partial AH searches EX: Typing helio will bring up all searches with helio in it
-Chocobo out while waiting for DF
-Fucking Reraise, a viable one
-Show time left on returns
-Show time left on Cooldowns/Abilities/Items

/sea name Val

What prospects for the future? What could they possibly have planned lot-drop wise that would make them not have a basic feature their 11-yo MMO already has?

2.15 patch
The following changes have been made to the Labyrinth of the Ancients:

In the event all but one party member leaves the instance, the remaining party member will not receive loot until they have cast a lot on said item.
* In the event no one lots on an item, it will be lost when all party members leave the instance.
