FFXIV Random Complaint Thread: Look forward to it

[Kirbyprime]

I would wager that means a reduction in Flare mechanics and stabilize the RNG of procs with slight buffs to spells that BLMs wouldn't use regardless like Freeze or something.

[Edelweiss]

what does this sound like to you

balance

The implication.

[Shaano]

Keep getting disconnected, figure give it a little, come back rinse repeat.

Thought I would try and get some Moogle Ex farming done on the weekend, thought my generally decent JP DF pool should be skillful enough to get some wins racked up. I thought wrong, was typically last man standing on WAR after the DPS and heals inevitably failed. Got through to last phase once only to have have the DPS fail hard on taking down the moogles in time. Le Sigh.

[Sol-Blackguy]

Or you give them advice and they don't respond at all.

Case in point, ACN/SMNs who use Topaz/Titan even when the tanking situation is perfectly fine. I get it, they're the newer shinier pet for some level ranges, doesn't mean it's better than your last one.

That's actually a reasonable mistake someone can make. I've corrected a couple ACN that flat out didn't know better. But it's how you tell then that goes a long way.

[Qeomash]

Topaz should have been the one you get at level 1, with the blue one coming second.

[Sephiroth]

How much more hand holding do you want? Would you prefer an NPC spawn there that'll heal you through it and raise you if you die? You took a risk to do it solo, failed, and that is the consequence. If there is no risk/difficulty no matter how small, it makes it completely pointless for there to be even a map. May as well just give you the alexandrite from the daily/myth is what you're asking.

Locking you out of content because you died isn't difficulty, it's stupidity. That's like saying if you wipe to T9 you shouldn't be allowed to retry it that week because SE may as well give you the loot without entering.

Difficulty would be having maps that have even harder fights, where dying solo isn't down to not knowing the instant kill mechanic but because the fight is actually hard. I don't think anyone here is asking for a free lunch.

Anyway what's with white knighting in a complaint thread? The OFs are over there. >

I'm thinking of a number between "suck" and "less" that accurately describes the number of fucks given over some bads dying to easy map mobs and wanting them changed so there's zero consequence for failure.

With the prevalence of "git gud" I'm always overjoyed to see "suck less" used instead.

The hardest content in the game has no consequence for failure, why should the most boring/grindy content? You sound like a masochist. The fact it's "easy" content is bad enough already, getting an i110 weapon should be difficult. Save your cries for harder content because the game is lacking it right now.

There's no sucking less to dying to an instant kill mechanic you were unaware of. This is nothing short of bad game design - a theme common in 2.2. When it happened to me I just shrugged it off and moved on with a couple of complaints in the appropriate place. At the end of the day it makes little difference if I get my weapon after 75 days or 76. Chances are it will be more like 90 because fuck committing to daily content for the next 75 days.

[Rocl]

i did this silly thing called "sleep" again and missed the window for sightseeing log #018

fucking game why should it should rain between the hours of 5-6pm once every rl day pls

[Raldo]

Holy shit, I just grab someone else and duo them. If there was zero chance of failure, they may as well just eschew the whole map part entirely and just hand you the Alex instead. The amount of people that didn't realize that you map was used up when the monsters are spawned (hint: it says "Your map crumbles into dust") blows my mind.

However, I will note that it is very ironic that your map crumbles into dust considering the old lady claims to use the maps for scrubbing stains, implying that they'd be durable...

F.A.T.E. for my book spawns, I rush there, jump down a cliff and die for some reason. I then spend way too much time coming back because my PC takes ages to load areas and the mob is weak and practically melts when being looked at, so I only get silver with three people there.

I need 1) a new PC already and 2) I want to know under which circumstances you can die when falling. Irritating.

[Rocl]

If you're in battle when you jump, you die. This means if something aggros you or w/e

I mean, if the fall does enough damage to kill you obviously

[Grey Jorildyn]

Falling is only lethal when you have aggro. In your rush to get there you probably picked up a few fans.

[Petitssk]

Yes, that's true, I aggroed a Hippogryph right before the cliff. So that's what makes jumps lethal, thank you! Should save my life in the future.

Must of been that Mor Dhona fate for the Fire guy. Happened to me and a few friends also lol

Oh, the mid-air-aggro cliff dive while trying to get to "Another Notch on the Torch"? Yeah, been there, done that. Still made it in time for gold. The other two FATEs for that book spawned pretty quick afterwords, so the Random Number Gods must have been temporarily appeased by my sacrifice.

Obligatory random complaint: Alexandrite drop rates appear to be worse than Atma rates...(grumble, bitch, grumble)...

[Sol-Blackguy]

Or make emerald the tank and topaz the DPS.

Haha, yes, was exactly that one. Still no respawn, though, assuming I didn't miss one. At least I only need one more after this one.
