FFXIV Random Complaint Thread: Look forward to it

[Niiro]

Why SE persists with a system that no one likes and causes massive problems with scheduling, fragmentation into 8-man statics/cliques, etc., is beyond me.

Because it stretches out the already thin content even further.

Right but out of the dozen or so friends I started this game with only one logs on each night, a couple have given their accounts away and the rest just use FB to chat. All 10+ stopped playing because of Coil. I'm sure my group is not alone based on the feedback on this sight and others.

[Grey Jorildyn]

Definitely not alone...

[Edelweiss]

Common complaint across the board in this game right now but seriously fuck this loot system. It has literally been two entire months since a piece of loot has dropped that I can use. This is with clearing t9 for the past month. Really sick of this, its the same story as Turns 1-5 again.

This^ Only reason I can stomach CoT/Turns1-5 now after coming back from quitting awhile ago is that there is no loot cap, even still when farming Allagan boots off Turn1 it took me 15 runs..that would have been fucking 15 weeks previously...either drop more loot, provide MORE alternatives (aka why can't we craft shit on par with Turn loot using drops we get in the turns and other ways) or put some shit on these NM hunts that are coming out to make it worthwhile.

We've yet to see a single piece of Fending from Second Coil; can't manage to get Turn 9 down but that's more or less due to having to PUG a rotating door of randoms. It's ridiculous that we can't even convert this barrage of Healing/Casting into something else. At least then we'd be able to do something with these fucking Coats of Healing besides chuck them at retainers and randoms (like turning them into Striking or Maiming Body-slots).

I've also only just recently finally gotten an Allagan Helm (yes, the one from Turn 5). 1/33 (including 9 pre-Echo clears). This cutting edge Coil lockout and accessibility shit needs to go away. At least Sands and Oils will be readily obtainable outside of this miserable shithole.

Definitely not alone. If they scrapped the weekly lockout (again, don't give any fucks if I even get Tomestones for clears beyond the first), most of mine would probably resub. Difficulty is fine (Turn 7 can eat dicks of shit though), but everything else is awful.

A few petty randoms:

Chatmode resetting every time you log.

xhotbar becoming unlocked every time you log.

Is it just me or does Dragoon just suck? I can't seem to push good numbers with my scrubby dragoon like I can with Monk. More so than actual numbers because Im sure that I am at fault for a lot of it, they just feel so clunky. Jumps creep into gcd, phleb seems to fall off for just a little too long, missing a positional is a huge fucking headache and they have a ton of buttons you have to use. Normally I like having to use a lot of different buttons, but it doesn't feel like it makes dragoon more versatile it just feels like more buttons to do the same shit. Idk /end rant

[Rollercoaster]

^ And that is why I'm happy I changed my main to summoner. Dragoon started to feel like such a hassle for little reward compared to summoner which requires little effort to do a good job.

It's definitely an acquired taste, by comparison I find MNK and SMN monotonously boring (well, maybe a big of an exaggeration, but they don't offer as much....stimulation? I guess). As frustrating as the directional requirements for DRG can be, once you get good at it landing them becomes very satisfying.

Also nothing beats the chub you get from a fully buffed Life Surge + Full Thrust.

I'm not sure what you mean about Phleb. Using it in tandem with Heavy Thrust lines things up pretty much perfectly (you use Heavy before the 20s are up, which means Phlebs 18s duration syncs up very well).

[Neon_Sea]

It's definitely technical, guess I should just keep at it for a while until I feel in control. As for Phleb, I think it's a combo of me being ass + Low SS + having a jump or two in one set.

Was looking at the Noct shit for tanking (body/helm) and notice you lose a chunk of accuracy if you're "upgrading" from Allagan/AF2. Does Coil2.0 require less accuracy for tanks? Maybe I just need to pick up Dual Hakkum over my Zenith or something.

[Kirbyprime]

It's 515~ for tanks, though you'll eventually run into the same issue as with Coil1 where you end up getting 560+ acc just because whatever shit drops

No, it requires more...512 or 515 for tanks in T9, I think...not sure of the exact figure, I'm not a tank.

[Lyall]

That was one of the frustrating things upgrading when the new soldiery stuff dropped. Sure, more HP and all, but you're making a miss chance. I needed to pick stuff up in a specific order to not end up being under cap (not it mattered because I'm not running coil anyway, but it's the principle of the thing).

[Shaano]

Static "leader" upset I'm looking for T9 group for more practice/possible clear. To give up any progress or wait on everyone else to catch up. .-.

Until you get some Coil2 drops (Fending seems common outside of my group) you'll want Dual Harken or Conqueror. Noct body is really good and has ACC, a lot of people get the hands for ACC as well. Noct ring is another acc addition and is BiS for a VIT build.

When I miss the SECOND Heavy Thrust

Spoiler: show

Do I really try a third time though?

[Falisa]

I actually made a comment recently in game about dragoon that even though it has far more buttons to push, I actually find BLM more entertaining to play. Maybe its the lack of procs.

i don't look like that but i definitely ask that LOL

Warrior friend initially had acc problems when we were learning t6 and t7. Now while we're trying to down t9 he's got something stupid like 604acc.

Same issue sort of. I'm swinging like 527 right now before HA legs and Noct Body and all the slots I have alternatives for are the slots I already have a i100+ piece for.
