FFXIV Random Complaint Thread: Look forward to it

[Kirbyprime]

I finished that dungeon last Monday for animus. Was awesome as tank since I just ignored every side room and even with 2 new people still finished it in a "reasonably" fast time

Aurum Vale was much worse than Stone Vigil, in my experience. I wanted to pull my hair out on each boss. Idiots vs. Malboro Fruits, Lasers! Where are the Orange Circles and Idiots vs. Malboro Fruits 2: The return of stacks.

AV is the worst one in the game by far. Shits miserable with a good group.

[Sephiroth]

That is where the game has it all wrong with dungeons. You have AV capped at 49, and while not hard it's clearly a lot more challenging than the 50+ dungeons due to the cap. You'd think the game would get progressively harder but it's going in the other direction. It's mostly down to the dungeons being level capped whereas at 50 your level is irrelevant and it's all about your ilevel. Surprised they didn't implement ilevel sync instead. Or even better, why not release dungeons intended for i90 players considering we're farming tomes for i100 gear from them? Having said that, last time SE added a dungeon that was more difficult than the rest (Pharos) the playerbase avoided it like the plague so it's unlikely that will ever happen.

If you think AV is hard you need to suck less in a hurry.

The "hardest" part of AV was the fruit on the final boss, then they nerfed their HP so hard you don't even need a good AoE DPS to take them out.

[Neon_Sea]

Well then they need to release tough dungeons that you can't avoid with dps/heal/hp checks for i100 characters. Holy shit, plowing these i50 mobs is just pointless.

No one said it was hard billy badass, it just fucking sucks. But rock on, glad you enjoy that hell hole.

[Niiro]

What fucking sucks about it?

The decor?

[Headspace]

Healing that dungeon when you have 2 people who are new (tank included) and one BLM that sucks was awful. I would say we hit the first boss 10-15 minutes in, beat him 30 minutes in. Wiped to last boss twice and finished with 3 minutes left to spare before being kicked out. Tank told me to calm my shit (was a little anxious) but I had a group just before that that actually DID time out in AV due to wipes.

nothing you're right best dungeon in game

[Lyall]

What fucking sucks about it?

The decor?

Encounters are balanced so you can't drag mouthbreathers through via overgearing. The camera fucking sucks because of the tight corridors and unnecessary bullshit on the walls and ceilings. Enemy trash is boring. First and third boss are the same god damned thing with one extra mechanic at the end.

It's not fun. I'd rather do Stone Vigil or fucking DZ before going back into AV.

You just described at least half the dungeons in the game.

"billy badass" lol

Getting stuck in the dungeon with 3 people who don't know how any of the boss mechanics work. So, you wipe and then get ignored when you try to explain how to erase stacks on bosses 1 and 3 and that there is a difference between 100 tonze swing and swipe.

[Niiro]

Sounds like your problem is with bad players.

[Fievel]

Probably the best thing to come from this thread

Yeah that's the point I was trying to get across. You can just faceroll through all the post-50 dungeons but you have to actually pay attention to some of the pre-50 fights because you can't carry people as easily. To a new player they probably find the pre-50s harder and wipe more due to the fact you can't over gear them.

I don't know how many of you guys played 1.0 but they did dungeons right there. Darkhold, AV and CC all offered a challenge when they were put in. They were 8 man too. It's a shame they're shying away from that kind of content.

[lilbubbles]

Because 4 man FCs can't do 8 man content.

Last time I got AV, I had a perfectly good tank that suddenly could not figure out how to dodge Bad Breath at the end. And he ate every. Damn. One.

Malboros suck, period. I'd take Dynamis-Bubu over Dynamis-Valkurm any day of the week.
