FFXIV Random Complaint Thread: Look forward to it

Having a Rank 10 healer chocobo is worse than having a Rank 9 healer chocobo.

Fuck you, Choco Medica.

That's what you get for making a shitty chocobo.

[Kipling]

That's what you get for bothering with a choco at all.

Fixed.

T6 - Healer hands, DRG hands
T7 - Caster wrist, slaying neck
T8 - MNK hands, MNK feet

Coil fucking hates my tank.

I'll trade your mnk hands and feet for our shield and other tank t8 drops.

[Almalexia]

T8 - MNK hands, MNK feet

Oh god, please. Christmas in June.

[Moridam]

still haven't had a single piece of striking or slaying drop for the entirety of 2.2

[Raldo]

Please take all of my group's striking...

You can only have 8 of 9 jobs in coil, and none of my group is a Monk. All of it just goes to waste... Sounds like our waste list isn't as high as some (2x head, 1x body), but it's still frustrating.

I just gave out the first commendation I've ever felt worthy of giving.

Low level roulette in Haukke, BRD was singing ballad, I commented that we didn't need it, he said he wanted to sing it cause he just unlocked it, I tell him since we don't need it it's just lowering his damage and slowing us down.

Few moments later he makes a remark of surprise/clarity indicating that he didn't know it lowered his damage (I assume he read the description) and he turns it off.

The fail is that someone willing to listen to simple, sound advice is such a rare thing that it actually motivated me to use the commendation function in earnest.

We did, and then the guy who was supposed to get them zoned out before they dropped to him so they hit the floor.

Had a similar story. BRD wasn't using neither WB nor VB on mobs, which made me wanna cut myself. So I told him that BRD dsp depends on him keeping the dots up. The WHM (apparently his buddy) said that for him "it sounds like too much work lololol" (which also made me wanna cut myself), but then a miracle happened. The BRD actually started doting mobs. I was like holy shit, this is like the first person ever to listen to any kind of advice.

There was this BLM using "ice 3" > "flare" > "transpose" in brayflox.
Told him he was doing no dmg, the goblins took forever to be killed and we wiped to the bomb at boss. Yeah! Wiped to the bomb.
When I told him his rotation was bad and he was doing no dmg he just said "lol" as if he was actually doing dmg.
Ppl need to learn the difference between dps and spike numbers.
SE should put a tutorial to explain the difference between those.

Should be in random praise.

Haukke HM. First boss, dps don't kill a single skele. Healer gets aggro and doesn't bother to heal himself, I stand there shocked while he dies and says "seriously tank?"

This blows my mind, since the skeles die in two hits. I consider disbanding for a minute or two, then I just point out that I've never had to hold adds since the adds are tissue paper, dps kill them and the boss in less time than the previous wipe took and we proceed.

Very next pull, I die with Thrill and Vengeance on, because apparently 11k+ hp, heals + 25%, and dt-30% isn't enough for a zenith healer to keep a i97 War alive against 6 trash mobs. Maybe I'm just naive.

[Dammerung]

Still don't have tank drops from T6 despite clearing it every week since it was released.

Constant connection issues causing wipes in all turns tonight. Had someone LITERALLY die from being disconnected - r0, booted out alive, logged back in dead.

Not surprised they extended this beyond T5 lol, but it was their fix to the initial Twintania breaks.

Ran into ifrit summoner that never used bane in halitali hm and a i90+ tank that was pulling one at a time (our group was blm/smn). Tell the Summoner that bane is pretty good for the trash, no reply. We trudge along and finally get to the end, working on mumuepo the beholden hes at like 35%and cast one last flare which lock the healer and smn. At this point I was pretty close to the scepter to unbind them but thought screw it. So I "tried" to kill mumuepo before his flare but could not, it was too funny seeing the smn and healer get KO'd by it while me and the tank finished the beast.

Advertising for a T7 Static group; I had a Fresh 50 scholar ask to join, then ask me what Coil was.

Linked him to the 2.2 end game guide, but god damn is Faerie dead.

They made a daily quest that requires you to do an expert DR without addressing the fact that once you're capped on solds, you're getting nothing out of it but mythos from the first 2 bosses.

[kmexe]

Getting a group for Stone vigil.
Teaching the group all the mechanics and being patient with pulls.
Dying to isgebind on the last 5%.
Isgebind Kill didnt count towards Book completion.

[Alistaire]

I've started telling people before boss I need to be up for book.

And alexandrite (eventually) but yeah that was my very first thought on that quest. I don't even do expert roulette for soldiery any more unless I don't play for days and get behind. Thanks for another minor annoyance SE.
