FFXIV Random Complaint Thread: Look forward to it

[Edelweiss]

Got vote kicked for not letting the WAR with his super fucking neato Allagan Battleaxe (that he just got) tank in Titan HM after a wipe and him falling off.

Welp.

Should put this in random praise.

I've had it 3-4 times in the last week.

Tried mog ex DF. Queued 230 min.

Ok.. how do people use standard controls?

It supposed to be superior cause I can control which direction my character faces better, but the moment I have to attack a monster while running away from it... I say fuck it and switch back to legacy.

Just change your camera angle slightly during the switchback and you'll redirect your movement. It's a little jarring but it works. You can generally outrun shit easily enough in this game that doubling back for a split second won't kill you.

Bind the strafe keys in legacy. Tapping them makes your character look forward. Fuck the slow walking-backwards shit that standard enforces, I'm not spinning my camera to dodge shit.

Most don't, because it's not naturally the way most people play, the simple fact that you can't run backwards at full speed without have to turn the other stick around to run back means you're adding another step to a 1 step process....which is bad, and you should feel bad SE.

You still backpedal on legacy controls. So fucking stupid

Only if you're deliberately trying to for the purpose of ensuring auto attacks. Unless you meant to say 'can' and were bringing it up as a good thing?

With facetarget I find no reason to ever use standard. The only times I still get interrupted when using facetarget is when the enemy moved way too fast for manual turning to even work. Actually.. if you're casting a spell and you know the mob is going to do a drastic position change you can aim ahead for when the spell will finish casting. But you can do the same thing with legacy by holding down both strafe buttons while turning with the mouse-- not exactly easy to do in the middle of a cast though.

They were always 3

Just realised what I did; durability draught is +30. nvm

[lilbubbles]

The only time I back pedal in legacy is when I am trying to strafe and go backwards.. no idea why it does it there.

The perfect binding for me would be...

foward: w
backwards: s
move left: s+q
move right: s+e
strafe left: q
strafe right: e

That way if I was moving backwards it would move right instead of strafing right... its no biggie deal though, moving the camera around to change course while running backwards is natural and I just make sure I don't hit strafe while doing it

The problem with face target is lag.. you need to be looking ahead of where the monster is going....

But you can do the same thing with legacy by holding down both strafe buttons while turning with the mouse-- not exactly easy to do in the middle of a cast though.

Omg, i didn't know about this, was hard to do it in the middle of a cast but i could hold them down before the cast and it was perfect. I always know when shit is gonna move, so its no biggie to already be holding both down.

Ya fuck standard forever then. Legacy 4 life.

Edit: Oh ya, and I bind move camera left/right to A and D. Final thing I need for the interface is smart casting for ground aoes :D

More Duty Finder trash. Jeffman Monkey and Billy Jean from Excal, take your poverty 3-4 pieces of HA main-job gear and eat a dick. Why won't WHMs Holy in DF, and why do tanks face things all over the place? This game is easy, but you'd never know it watching trash like this in action.

After we left our dungeon, queue in progress put me back into it 2 minutes later.

Hope it went better than the last. I got a Brayflox HM next where the tank died twice in a row on the first pull, so I just logged. -_-
