FFXIV Random Complaint Thread: Look forward to it

[Day]

another fucking complaint.

DFing Aurum Vale because no one in the LS wanted to run it w/ me for animus book. get /votekicked cuz they did not want me to get my animus clear and wasted 30 min of my time because they were all lvl 50s and overpulling cuz they wanted exp. WTF IS THIS COMMUNITY!

Man that's the fucking worst, Mostly cause it's AV and fuck that place, fuck being in there for any reason other than your book, sorry you have to return.

[Nitsuki]

It was my gf and i that were running it, gf voted no but lolSE cuz it was a 2v1 vote. Reported them for griefing and got a reply. They were even overpulling and wasting time by hatching all the morbol fruits and proceeding to the healer unable to heal everyone.

[Lyall]

Were you calling them out for pulling trash or something? Seems strange that a bunch of people trying to level would just up and boot someone before the end boss. If you offended their tiny wittle egos somehow it makes a lot more sense. I got chewed out in Brayflox NM because the jobless ARC and CNJ wanted me to pull the entire dungeon for EXP. I think they figured any is better than none, though, because they didn't kick me. Tank privilege is real.

because they were all lvl 50s and overpulling cuz they wanted exp.

This makes no sense.

So, with all the complaining about atma/animus farming, here is my favorite. Someone said it should be more interesting and fun. I asked for his suggestions. 1. cut myth in half for the books. 2. if you do 10 fates in an area, you get an atma 3. have a fail safe fate if a fate takes longer than one hour to pop. I mean seriously, people just want shit handed to them. And now the quest gets delayed because of people complaining.

Complaint 2 - guy shouting how he farmed atma for a week and got nothing. I sent him a /tell asking him how he was farming them and how long, to try to give some advice. His response "1hr a day for the past week". Yeaaaaa response /facepalm

Damn, thought it was my end. Scoured all over the internet looking for fixes for the black screen launcher, then learned just now it's on SE's end.

Not an actual complaint but I figured it belongs here anyway. I was waiting to enter T6 yesterday when I see a shout for "Any groups have an opening in atma PT?" to which somebody shouted back, "You mean you too want to ruin FATEs for us newbs?"

Saw in another thread that possibly... trolling who knows, the animus upgrade is to 115, I'm sure that will add to the mountain of complaints wondering why they aren't being spoonfeed stuff still.

Also, I love how people say they been farming for a week, and usually they will just makeup some number >.>
People like to bloat problems out of proportion, when its actually easier then they say it is.

[Skai]

Or not fucking do it, like me.

(Although I will get to it eventually but in no hurry.)

Quietly choosing not to do content? UNACCEPTABLE BETTER GO MAKE ANOTHER THREAD ON THE OF ABOUT HOW UNFAIR THIS IS

[Nyanoko]

I was under the impression that our Wave Shields and Bucklers would be upgraded to the Tidal versions, lolnope.

10 FATEs take about an hour to pop?
Fail safe FATE every hour?
Random dude farming atma every day for an hour and got nothing?

People want to see progress in an hour of playing?! In 2014?! Madness!

Yes, this is BG, hardcore or gtfo, but I honestly can't blame people for wanting to see actual progress in an hour of playing. Now how much progress the community wants to see in an hour I will leave up to a battle between the casuals and the hardcore, but in the current system, on average, there is no visible progress in an hour unless you get lucky and people have every right to bitch about that imo.

No, what was said was that those who upgraded the shields to Tidal versions would be refunded the mirror since the Tidal Shields were added to the Levi-X lootpool as well.

[OWS_Tonx]

Is it just added to it or does it replace the Wave version? Gonna laugh if it has just as shitty drop rate as mirror if both still exist

[Katlan]

I was under the assumption they were flat out replaced. So that is pretty lulz if levi can now drop ilv 95 and ilv 100 version of them

[OWS_Tonx]

That's what I had thought too but after what Nyan said I'm not sure. Kinda weird if they didn't upgrade all other Wave shields to Tidal Wave but got rid of the Wave drop altogether from the instance

[Rocl]

what if Tidal Wave Shields share drop slot w/ Mirror

so the game is like 2% chance of 3rd slot

33% chance of Tidal Wave Buckler being in that slot

[OWS_Tonx]

I'm still not positive how the loot pool works with levi but i would be upset if they shared tidal wave shield with mirror

My favorite thing about 14 was the ability to log in for an hour and accomplish something. It is still true for a good portion of the game but more and more its turning into 11s 3-4 hour a night grind to stay competitive.

2.1 was a great balance IMO. 2.2 requires a lot more dedication. (having to do Coil for top gear, Zodiac quest, Spamming Levi etc) Most MMO people I know aren't happy with 2nd,3rd or 4th best.

for the record i don't claim to know how the loot pool works at all it was just a hypothetical awful case scenario
