FFXIV Random Complaint Thread: Look forward to it

[Lokus]

Isn't that always going to be the case though? Following that logic, if the best weapons drop from the hardest content (last turn of coil), then you were able to complete that content without them. If you could do that, why do you need/want the weapons, why are you playing an mmo, oh god why do we do anything in life, etc.

It would be nice if there was something else that the best gear could be put to use. It's like in single player RPGs, the hardest optional bosses drop the ultimate weapons/armor and then you use that phat loot to... beat the final boss that you can probably one shot? Even something like a dynamic scored based PvE content that gave rewards (sidegrades/vanity/monies) would be fine as better gear would allow you score higher (could even make it competition between FCs or individuals). FFXIV needs some type of sandbox element to go along with theme park and I hope Frontlines brings some of that around.

Well, in 11 the better gear we got the less people we needed to do stuff.

Dynamis went from a 64 man affair to solo content.

This game has no room for variable amount of people though.

I too would love to see some content FC's can do together without some kind of lockout or need for static. Our FC is basically down to our coil static and like 2 other people now which sucks, and I know a lot of it has to do with not being in the main coil group and just not feeling like a part of the FC really. When I was in coil group 2 and having to pick up a couple pugs each week I know the feeling was frustating as fuck. I wanna play with the big boys etc... Theres just not jack shit to do other than run some Myth runs or something with only 4 people. Would love some open world content, or anything really we could involve everyone in.

Yup, this is our FC as well. Im with you 100%

[Neon_Sea]

And ours as well, and many many others.

Literally made our FC because it felt silly to have our coil group be a bunch of people who were either FC-less or in FCs they didn't really care for.

I do the same but it's called a ls

[Kirbyprime]

Which pretty much makes FCs a LS with some nifty buffs. At this point I'm pretty sure Rata's partied with my FC members more than me.

I don't remember any of them

Probably cuz they weren't AWSOME enough for me to remember them

[vrumpt]

Hate this coil itemization. I got lucky on my mnk with coil drops so now i'm sitting 40 accuracy over cap and there's not much i can do about it until i get high allagan claws. I can't even swap some of it out for soldiery gear because its not i110 and i'll lose the str increase so its technically a dps loss or so close it wouldn't matter, making it a waste of soldiery. And now that i got lucky i'm gonna be last on sands/oil for armor which makes subbing those acc heavy pieces basically a fairy tale.

[Seravi Edalborez]

Our main tank quit over an argument.

Fuck.

[Taruina]

One of our DPS lost power right before coil, so we end up taking a MNK who is a tank main from a friend's FC. Everything takes a year to kill and they get hit by Petrifaction multiple times while prepping the LB3 in turn7. Kinda left everyone salty.

Fuck.

If they quit over somethin so trivial they were probably already getting ready to bounce

[Kaisha]

Buggy game is buggy. Just entered the instance fresh and this happens.


Also 90k'd twice on that instance after that weird quirk, even though my connection seems perfectly fine (LS/FC chat still worked during the limbo before 90k), so I'm sorry to that group that had me.

This happened to me when I entered Leviathan Hard the night of the patch.

Also: Fantasias need to be here sooner. Last night we were doing Turn 9 for the second time and ended up one shotting it. However, I died like a retard (only death too...) right at the end as Nael died because I usually am the one who calls out double fire for my group if they need to move out, but when our tank called that he had no CD's for claw I got all Eye of the Tiger trying to time my benediction right to cover the difference. Ended up not moving out fast enough and killing myself, but I didn't even know I was dead until Benediction didn't fire because we were all stacked up for Fire Tether. Our Scholar covered the difference with a few Lustrates and it died a few seconds later but I couldn't even see I had died because we have two Female Roes and I am the only Lalafell. My body is literally invisible when 4 cat girls, 2 amazon fem roes, and 1 male hyur stack up with my maximum short lalafell.

TL;DR - Fantasias plz, also I suck at video games.

He was, admittedly.

This. Needs to be here nao. Also, Maximum Short would be a great Lalafel name.

[Edelweiss]

Guess it's time for another maintenance or something, lobby server and DF server(s) shitting themselves for Aether.

[Seravi Edalborez]

Hyperion (Primal) too.

[Obsidian]

Our main tank quit over an argument.

Fuck.

Kind of left my static in the same sort of lurch thanks to a surprise change in my work schedule. Job put me on rotating shifts but looking for a replacement for only 50% of the time is unreasonable of me to ask. Feels bad man.
