FFXIV Random Complaint Thread: Look forward to it

[Korialstrasz]

Whoever tossed in the idea of "oh hey, why don't we also tie in one specific weather with each vista?" needs to like just go die or something.

Edit: I got all excited that I might actually get one. Nope, it's "showers" weather, not "rain". The right fucking water isn't falling from the sky.

[Niiro]

There's nothing good and simple that Yoshi and co. can't find a way to fuck up.

Vanity system? check
Housing? check
PvP? check
Fucking sightseeing? check

This. "Clear" weather is too clear, need those 3 clouds to make it "Fair". Completely changes the way you look out from the Vista, lemme tell ya.

[BerenTebogo]

I'm already in the "write script to make me /lookout every 15 minutes and go to bed" camp.

Couldn't have made it dumber if they tried. Was really looking forward to it too.

[Korialstrasz]

They patched custom chat links (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━━━┻

SE fun police ever vigilant as always.

[Niiro]

The striking dummies at the Wolve's Den are retarded, if you lock onto them and try and circle around the game pushes you way far away and you run into the walls.

[The Stig]

Fitting room was a good idea, but then:

1. seems like I can only try one piece at a time
2. it won't remember its window position, but that's pretty much moot now that I can't try on multiple things at once

I think someone linked the reddit thread earlier, but: http://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/commen...more_research/

Syntax is:

<a href="j:%d,%d"></a>
<a href="m:%d,%d,%d,%d"></a>
<a href="i:%d,0,0,0,%s"></a>
<a href="n:%s"></a>
<a href="s:%d"></a>
<a href="o:%d"></a>
<a href="b:%s"></a>

printf format where %d = integer, %s = string

i = items, s = sounds (<se.#>), j = job (j = 0 is the 'adventurer' class!), m = map, o = mob.

So to link the High Allagan Blade with a different name, you'd put <a href="i:7219,0,0,0,Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker"></a> , getting the item # off of xivdb.

FYI as an update, this crashes the game now.

I can't quit dungeons anymore to get haukkes for high lv

Leave it to Square-Enix to take content that was actually fun to do in GW2 and make it absolutely fucking retarded in this game

FATEs, Dye, Vanity... now Vistas.

I guess they were trying to draw out the lifespan of this "content" by making it to where you can't just finish them all in an hour... but this kinda "content" isn't about longevity, its about adding exploration to the world and the journey to find the Vistas. What they did was find a way to make it unenjoyable by making it so where it wasn't about the climb/journey, now its about waiting for the right weather pattern to appear. Which is almost as bad as Full Moon Fountain back in the day, especially when you go through all ~10 Full moon phases with cloudy weather in the sky cause f**k you wait another week lol.

[Sephiroth]

Yeah I've no interest in that content thanks to the retarded weather thing. If content isn't fun, don't do it and then we won't get more shit like that.

I think the saddest part is I don't think requiring just weather OR just time of the day would be bad. The problem is most (all?) of the vistas NEED BOTH, and anyone who's spent longer than an hour trying to get vistas knows how retarded that is.

Sightseeing is weather camping and nothing more. Its fucking retarded and awful the way they designed it

[Niiro]

Did they ever add a way to swap the special black swimsuit (the one you had to get from Rowena) for the one of the opposite gender?

I look forward to the OF having dozens of threads complaining about "these cheaters who are botting sightseeing."

Being that I'm unfamiliar with macros in 14... Is there a way to do this with the in-game macro system?

[Niiro]

No, people generally use AHK.

(google it)

[Rocl]

spoilers it stands for auto hot key

[Niiro]

omg ur gonna get banned

[kisada]

what the fuck is wrong with the brains of these game devs

i just got hit by gravity 4 fucking times in a row at 1 second left for 20 seconds each. 1 minute and 20 seconds trying to just fucking move 5 inches across the map. and now i can't even teleport away from aggro. great.

gravity does NOT make this game any sort of challenging. it's a fucking scourge that should NOT used by normal non-instance mobs. holy fuck
