FFXIV Random Complaint Thread: Look forward to it

[JigglyJam]

Crafting is a game of getting fucked by the RNG.

80% Hasty Touches and 6 fucking failures in the same synth.

[dejet]

3 star?

What is it with Levi parties choosing to LB in the middle? I mean you don't need 50~ on the elemental shield thing to survive tidal wave, what a waste. Had a party today where I became the elitist piece of shit after I commented on the party's BLM LBing in the middle of the ship and not hitting all the spumes/yellow balls.

[Niiro]

I much prefer the LB hit only hit the 2 spumes on Levi's side and Levi himself.

Lowering all the spumes at once can kill you if everyone isn't on the same page and kills them too quickly in succession.

The amount of DRGs I meet in dungeons wearing full Myth (and I mean FULL myth, they either have a Fending or Aiming ring in 2nd slot) who have absolutely no idea how to play their job. Half of them never learned how Heavy Thrust works. They think it's broken or try using it from the back, or when I tell them it only works from the side they do ONLY HEAVY THRUST from that point on or something stupid. Otherwise it's 123 Full Thrust and raw RoT all day.

I did have one who at least used rear combo and Phleb... but still no Heavy Thrust and saw on plenty of occasions they just proceeded with a failed-start rear combo, or did weird shit like Disembowel -> Full Thrust.

I'm thankful they at least aren't pissy-defensive about me telling them how their job works but I'd rather they actually listen.

Sad thing is I'm pretty sure I made this post a month ago too.

[Headspace]

And just think, PS4 launch is Monday!

You can post this next month too!

[Almalexia]

My first personal casualty due to the LB animation always displaying:

Tail end of the Meteor animation completely blocking my view of Levi's plumes/water spout and getting Spinning Dived right off the edge.

Number one reason why I advocate melee LB instead. Can't see shit, captain.

[Taruina]

Is there double Tidal Roar or Splashes coming? You can bet that someone has Blood-for-blood up. Fuck pug DPS.

Been trying to get Titan EX experience on my BRD via DF (I usually go tank) and it's been the most godawful experience. Not 1 group made it past heart phase, hell most couldn't even make it to heart phase or last long enough to get echo buff. So whilst I didn't get hit by anything, it's been a waste as I never got past heart.

Also DF queues on DPS for it are a complete joke. 30-60 mins to get in and people leave so quickly, usually after like 3 wipes. It's like wtf are they expecting in DF, to clear it first try? They really should make like a Tank Roulette or In Progress Roulette to help with the crappy timers for DPS.


It's partially my own fault for being an NA on an EU server. Wish I could have 2 FC's. Don't want to leave my FC since I played XI with most of them for like 6-10 years but its miserable trying to get anything done in an NA timezone

[Niiro]

The fact that they didn't give any additional purpose to Rowena tokens kind of fucked anyone who didn't already get all of the weapons they wanted...

[Grey Jorildyn]

For sure. That whole quest dropped off the map quickly. I did it every week since it was put in and only picked up 4 weapons. What to do with the rest...

[Kirbyprime]

I'm only picking up those weapons for my jobs that are newly coming to 50 because hell if I'm doing another relic.

To be fair, it's usually fairly obvious if you're not going to clear with a group by the third wipe.

That said, I was in a group of pretty good players the other day and the only reason we didn't clear was because the BLM only casted III spells and actively tried to die to all the things, and the BRD spazzed every time bombs dropped. Everyone else stayed because it really seemed like we might be able to jus carry them at full Echo, and if just one of them put it together for two cycles we would win, but in the end it wasn't meant to be. Meh.

Making a relic isn't really that difficult. But fuck spending the myth to zenith it.

But yeah, I kept a stock of tokens just in case they decided to give us more things to spend them on, and now I'm left wondering what the point of all that was.

[Sephiroth]

I keep hold of my tokens more to save inventory space than anything else since I wouldn't use the 5 weapons + BLM shield that I could buy with them.


And now for another complaint about the shitty playerbase. I thought I'd do expert roulette on my PLD for a change to avoid the queue times. Halatali hard pops up and we get two DPS who say they are new, fine with me. I get first pull in and the healer is like "tank, move under spike", "tank move please". I don't know what the hell he is on about because I normally play DPS and all I know is that you avoid the spike when running. So I didn't realise the spike applies a debuff to mobs since I don't exactly see other tanks under there when DPSing. Anyway I drag them across (they're about dead now) and he's like "..." and leaves. Turns out I got hit by it too while trying to position them.

I'm kinda glad in a way because with that attitude he could have saved himself the 30 minute penalty via a kick. That's not how you explain a mechanic someone is unaware of. I stayed and waited 10 minutes for a replacement because it was unfair on the two DPS who queued for a while. Got another healer who must have barely met the ilevel requirement for the instance based on their 3100 HP and they didn't seem to know what Stoneskin was. Was his first time too. I had fun teaching them all the mechanics of the bosses.

The correct way to go about it is to say after the pull has died "If you tank the mobs under those spikes they'll get a vulnerability down debuff". But no, he chose to be an asshole and I dread to think how he would have handled neither of the DPS not knowing anything about the bosses. I'm sure that was a big part of the reason he escaped too.

And this was right after a DR group that vote kicked the tank because he DCed rather than waiting a few minutes. A replacement never arrived. 20 minutes wasted there + 15 queuing for it. I don't know why I bother, roulette is meant to be a time saver.

[Shaano]

Never knew about the spike till a few days ago, but still, blowing up mobs isn't that hard. Though what pisses me off the most in runs is everyone is geared to fucking bits now, or atleast they lok like it. Just don't play like it. Single pulls, nothing massive, major time sink burning through 3 mobs instead of 5-10 at ease :c

You do but when you're queueing for 45 mins, the least you should do is wait for full echo.

Then you get group like the PF group I just did. Healer dies twice before heartphase and ragequits on the very first attempt. Nobody else gets hits at all. We exit to get a new healer and some people drop. Why the fuck would you do that when the other 7 have at least shown they can competently handle up until heart phase.

This shit happen to me all day yesterday. Even after one shotting Levi twice, someone started argument with DPS after a wipe, left party, and whole group disband, like wtf mates.

Had a DRG in mostly Myth/Coil body/Zenith who wouldn't have Heavy Thrust up, barely RoT, and didn't do the full Chaos combo, just Chaos Thrust itself, then 1,2,3, Full Thrust combo.

I died inside every time I heard the Chaos Thrust noise.
