FFXIV Random Complaint Thread: Look forward to it

Instances persist for a little while even after everyone leaves if someone hit "look for more members" before ditching.

If I get in one of those empty instances and 15+ minutes has passed, I "vote abandon" to get rid of it. Works instantly; you can queue in progress again immediately and it'll be gone. (15 minutes have to have passed though, or else it won't let you vote abandon)

I don't see the point of leaving the instance. We vote kicked a bad tank in one last week, then the LNC and healer left. Before I could leave someone had joined. Before I finished telling him why the instance was dead a new tank and healer were there. People are so quick to leave when there's just no need to.

I waited 20min as BLM for T2 last night. Got in party with 2 MNK, BLM SMN, 2 SCH, PLD PLD. Looking shit already right? I started directing the group saying to give it a try, it'll work. Enrage starts and we literally wipe at 1%, I was directing limit break, mantra, shield usages and we just nearly make it.

We end up at the start of the instance. 1 of the MNKs decides he needs to go, and bails. I say good, we might get a BRD or an equivalent DPS. But nooooooo, someone vote abandons before someone could come in and I don't know what in the shit they are thinking, but Yes >> No and I end up back in town.

Gahhhhh I really want to capture these players one day and just keep them as pets so I can slap them everytime they think of doing anything stupid.

In retrospect we might've won if I wasn't directing (I could've got an extra Fire in), but people weren't using limit break or mantra unless I shout it in the chat box so I had no choice.

What's wrong with that party composition? That's 6 potential silences.

Got LCoA in progress once, 2/3 with people waiting at Diabolos. The DPSs gears weren't stellar. Zenith and couple of iLv60. MNK said he'll open doors if I mark them. I said I'll mark and open if he'll let me. Dude said it's risky being the healer. I assured him it isn't. Tank d/c'd before we go in and the MNK started bitching and cursing the heavens etc. He initiated a vote kick for the tank. I said he might come back and clicked no. Tank was kicked anyway. Moments later MNK initiated abandon vote. I told him he could leave without getting a penalty. He didn't reply and the vote was rejected. 2 minutes later the vote was initiated again but this time was accepted. Some people -_-

hahaha, very optimistic look!

Typically people will go "no BRD" and then leave

Tank told me to take off cleric stance as SCH in story Brayflox because I would let his health dip past 50% because Eos couldn't keep up with how hard he was getting hit. I told him I wouldn't let him die but if he wanted me to stand around with my thumb up my ass I could. Pretty sure the SMN in the group wasn't using Bane often, refreshing dots on mobs, and restocking aetherflow when he could. Had to pick up the slack.

[kisada]

oh god. i can't stand healers who don't nuke and i especially can't stand scholars who don't nuke 95% of the time in dungeons (and that might not even be enough). can't say i blame a rando tank for being worried about his rando healer in a dungeon, but it should be pretty obvious who is and who isn't gonna let you die.

I tell tanks my job is to make sure they don't die

Not that they are at 100% HP at all time

I've gotten yelled at more than once for "Curing in Cleric's Stance" on WHM even after explaining that you can toggle it on and off and assuring people that I'm definitely not letting cures go off while it is up.

You're fucking up my Spirits DPS by doing that and it's honestly kind of irritating. If you're gonna leave me half dead so you can spam Holy you'd best make sure I don't die or you'll get kicked in short order nine times out of ten.

Always get that random Elzen Dragoon in myth gear and atma weapon that ruins a perfect party for SR'ing roulette.

Spirits DPS vs. switching out of clerics stance and casting a cure is a loss of at least 2 ruin IIs which is much more damage than you're losing from spirits. Or a stone 2, which is even more true.

[Obsidian]

You don't need to switch out of Clerics to keep me over 50%.

[Alistaire]

When I do low lvl roulette on sch I have cleric stance first, pop it, then switch it with aero. Cleric stance stays on, I get more dots, but can't switch back out.
