FFXIV Random Complaint Thread: Look forward to it

[Taint]

Yoshi has already said he won't do that lockout system because it "upsets the game balance" when people not skilled enough can then be carried/buy runs every week. I support the system but I see where he's coming from. He needs to compromise and give us more stuff to do endgame wise if he won't give us it.

I'd disagree, sure wins would be sold. But how many bads quit because they can't get stuff done? I'd rather them buy wins and stay a part of the community then quit because they can not accomplish anything. MMOs need numbers.

Just like Primals the good groups benefited from selling clears and therefore didn't mind the bads getting the loot. The same would be the case with Coil gear. The last part of the equation would be to have content hard enough that you can't carry people. True i105 content would be a start, hard enough you can't overgear it.

Best is when you get a nice new weapon or item and you wanna have fun blowing stuff up..

1) Queue for story roulette or ct
2) Spend hour waiting
3) Kill 5 things before duty get abandoned

A duty that doesn't require tanks, or at least 1 if its an 8 man would be nice. I'm a dps, I just want to be able to go blow something up and not wait an hour to do so. I don't need a reward, I just need victims.

How many good players quit because they can't find or maintain a solid 8 person static?

Because they can't play with people they want to play with?

Because even with doing coil2 there's still fuck all to do besides coil 2?

[Sephiroth]

My static didn't even try to raid tonight despite there being a scheduled event. One guy just didn't turn up without notice. Yesterday he gave us a lovely half hour's notice. Another guy was even in T6 already with another group before the meet time. I don't know why I'm bothering and our raid leader probably felt the same when he logged out at event start time. I followed shortly after. Even when we do try running T6 it's frustrating because we start out 6/8 and end up with 2 people who have never done the fight before. While competent it still takes them an hour and a bit to get phase 1 and 2 down and the event is over shortly after.

Tempted to just go full casual if this group crumbles because I can't be assed to seek a new one. Problem then is I'll be logging in once a week for a few hours and questioning why I'm paying for that. On the plus I have 5 or 6 PS3 games I've been putting off playing.

They need to make a dungeon sub-sect that is just DPS, dodging and dps checks. Teamwork blahblah, insta ques yes please.

it's really quite the problem. coil2 is all there is aside from farming myth and whenever animus/novus is upgraded good luck getting help from those people that have finished. i think most of us could agree that we would like some challenging content without a lockout so that we can play with other members of FC. We've had people come and go from our FC that I never did one single thing with because of coil lockout etc...

[Raldo]

My FC skipped our weekly Sunday full-FC event because of Easter weekend, and we haven't started it back up since then because there isn't shit to do The only reason we had stuff to do before then was because of house fundraising, but with that over... Definitely echoing the above; there's people in my FC that I see log in, and I'm like, who the heck is that? I don't even know them.

We have a running joke that CT is the only "real endgame content". Are you guys psyched for another ONE CT INSTANCE in a month or whatever? Woooo

I just completed my 3rd full Atma set over the weekend (36 Atmas and I'm still not even 2/3 of the way to the Paragon's Gown [3000 FATE achievement]). Super exciting times.

Thus far animus has been the most casual of casual content, you don't need help with any part of it.

Other than Four Winds everything is solo or misc DF crap.

[Day]

It's nice to myth grind or do the dungeons in books with FC is mainly what I meant, not that you NEED help with them, it just that I can see SE thinking that is some content people could group together to do but that's not exactly what happens.

Oh I 100000% agree with this. My friends are dropping like flies. I was responding to the reason Yoshi has the lockout. Very very short sided thinking on his part. I would be the happiest player if they removed the turn lockout. All of my friends that are very good players have hardcore statics so I pretty much never get to play with them.

Don't worry, that'll be delayed until the very end of July because fuck you.

Also premade alliances will be delayed because fuck you.

Please look forward to it

Spoiler: show

(fuck you).

I really hope these hunts aren't going to be totally worthless shit.. They also need to fucking stop shitting out new dungeons (that may or may not beat Longstop for all your grinding needs) in lieu of actually putting endgame things for us to do.

[dejet]

I guess the only thing they really have against it is that then you can have groups of people with an alt that will run on their alt and let one person lot both items, and repeat 8x.

Why is this a big deal? Who cares lol I'd rather give more items out and be able to help others.... That I want to play with.

[Niiro]

I anticipate NM hunts to be Treasure Maps v2.

ie. neat.jpg for a few weeks, maybe a month, and then almost completely forgotten

It seems to be the case, on the developer side anyway. muh prestigious gear from muh scripted forced 8-man endgame

I really hope you're wrong, but that's likely what will happen. Already it's sort of looking really mediocre outside of Sphere Scrolls for Novus weapons (fucking Mythology armor sets, seriously?). But don't worry, we'll have Tower's next installment by the time the novelty wears off.

[Taint]

Novus drops will make monster hunts relevant. Pretty much shit tier content will just get linked to the Relic grind to keep people doing it. They said Alexandrite will come from multiple sources. So probably treasure hunts, monster hunts, CT, Coil and dungeons??

I'm not saying Monster hunt will be shit tier, but if it is people will still do it for Alexandrite. I'm truly hoping it ends up being awesome and easy to make groups for.

?

Whole reason I left originally, couldn't field a static team..sick of terribad PUGs who some didn't even speak english. Waiting to see some more development from this game before I resub probably, was contemplating it but see more of the same.

[FHT]

The RMTs /tells getting worse again... You blacklist one and then 2 others with a one letter difference in their name spam you like mad. Does the game tell you when you've been blacklisted or what? Its crazy..
