FFXIV Random Complaint Thread: Look forward to it

[Ksandra]

Couldn't decide on what to spend myth on. Friend convinces me to get whm legs. I wear CT body currently.


Flashing my crotch to the world.

Having to run 9 CT runs in a single sitting to cap myth on my alternate that just dinged 50 before the week ended.

Did you have the weekly drop? Running CT for myth is, well I guess it mitigates the impact of a having a fresh 50 in a dungeon but you can always transfer two star crafts?

Why is Ifrit so difficult for people on Excalibur? Cleared Titan on the fourth try last night and the group couldn't even get to third nails without the same two DDs dying. Got rid of them and the group still couldn't clear it. Made a new group, same issue. Gave up, 2 hours wasted.

Ifrit? Hah. I did 40+ attempts at Garuda last week for Primal Focus. And tonight, I did about a dozen more, including such gems as:

1) A 75-ish WHM "dibs"ing the MT during adds over an 88 SCH because "WHM is a better healer" and then letting him die several times
2) The aforementioned MT (edit: a PLD, mind you) never using more than foresight or convalescence during Wicked Wheels.
3) An all-mage group calling for the OT to bring Suparna/Chirada on top of each other to LB3 them.
4) A healer stealing LB3 from the tanks when a spiny was accidentally killed early with the reasoning of "I thought I could time it to raise us."

Apart from the first two weeks of 2.1 where it seemed impossible for people to understand the basics of Titan eX, I've been pretty much one shotting the extreme primals within half an hour after the reset every week.

Granted, I've ony got 4 weapons cause I don't need any more, so I haven't even tried this week, but that brings me to my next complaint.

Nothing I "want" to do past Coil and myth cap anymore. And I guess, CT which has the possibility of taking the entire week without a desired drop, but that's not something I'm looking forward to either.
The game has enough content, but the dailies are boring and I don't care much for vanity items, so coil and myth cap are pretty much it.

Yes, this is just my situation, I know there are enough people who love vanity shit so there is enough to do for them.

Never being able to sit down without flashing my characters underwear. Would it have been too much to have elezen females cross one leg over at the knee so in anything other than pants we didn't flash our crotch constantly?

Doesn't help I'm a SCH main but even so...

[Kincard]

CT group with at least 3 members from the Sargatanas FC Dreadnought spent the whole time pulling things early, afking, dying on purpose, continuously initiating votekicks so they could let their booted member reenter the group and troll more etc. The group disbanded before Dragon so didn't waste that much time or anything. Mostly it just displays how awful SE's booting system is because the guy that kept rejoining the group was a Monk, so even if you're a DPS if a group organizes to annoy people it's not exactly hard to accomplish.

[Icarian]

And yet another week without any drops from T5, I think I've exhausted my luck on Coil, been sitting with everything I wanted for months but T5 won't drop anything for MNK D:

Why the FUCK are tanks these days doing post-30 dungeons as their main classes, and not as their jobs? Like, why Gladiators and not Paladins?

Had this atrocity of a tank trying to hold hate in Brayflox. Didn't Flash, let our healer die three times in five minutes. Seriously. The fuck?

I imagine something to the tune of "I don't want to level a healing job"

Monday Lag.. Trying to DF garuda ex so I can learn it on tank and I keep losing hate to the blm (who happens to be my husband) during the sisters phase. Apparently as far as he was concerned I wasn't performing actions where at least on my computer it appeared I had. Second run had no hate issues... I use a vpn already so I think it was just the servers being overloaded.

All the CT runs where all the tanks are fighting over the skeletons, but noone wants to tank Behe, so I have to hope my 2 pug sch have what it takes to allow us to clear the fight in 1 shot

I can't find anything wrong with this

That's why I hate playin with people I know IRL lol

I've been in a server LS for those that have beaten all the Primals as a way for people to get together and farm them and help others. Ever since joining and doing Primal runs, I have yet to beat Titan or Ifrit with them. These are people that all have at least one Primal weapon. At first I thought it was me until I stopped dying to stupid shit (and the times I do I apologetically back out). The worst? These groups struggle to get to the heart.

I was in a Titan the other day with an i90 SMN and other i85+ dps including myself. I'm noticing that our DPS is low. After four wipes at the heart phase we quit and look back at the parsers. The i90 SMN was sitting at 113DPS WITH the pet. 60% of his damage was from Ruin II (20% from Ruin I). He has 5 pieces of Allagan...

It's become a running joke in my FC that I am bad luck for Primals.

Can I add my name to this petition???

As a tank, I don't get the tank behavior in CT at all. Everyone stands around doing nothing, so I always try to state early what I'm doing. At KB I say "I'll MT unless someone has a hard-on for it, then I'll do giants, I don't care, speak up." No one else will claim MT, but 1 or 2 will stand up there and fight for hate anyway while towers are bare. How the fuck hard is it to cover towers? Tanks either do nothing but stand around or boner-rage all over you trying to steal hate.

Skeletons are the worst. Tanks run from halfway across the map to grab the skeleton you're already dragging to you, then have to run it all the way back across - causing most of them to die in the middle.

Are you alleging that he should have also been using Fester more? I'm sorry I have little understanding of how summoner works and would presume that their DoT's wouldn't show up on a parser...

Unless the parser was broken they have various ways to simulate DoT damage, with (probably) decent accuracy.

[Jaybar]

It shows number of times something was casted, Miasma and BioII were casted once throughout the fight. Miasma II however was casted a few times!

I've encountered a number of SMN in Titan EX who do between 90-130 DPS with Garuda (according to ACT). It's just fucking mindboggling. Not limited to SMN though (MNK doing 95 DPS ftw).

On my not-even-close-to-BiS-i88SMN I do at least 200 DPS with Garuda in that fight.

[Lucavi]

But Sath, you're the best at everything. You shouldn't be surprised. D:

Our ilvl 87 BRD was doing 208 on Garuda followed by a BLM at 203 and our DRG was at 165. I think the SMN and MNK you encountered didn't know the fight.
