FFXIV Random Complaint Thread: Look forward to it

[FHT]

Wonder who the hell thought it was a good idea to let magitek mount spam that cannon move.

And to make it totaly pointless at best. This could have been a nice way to remedy to a known complain about the "Gravity" debuff inflicted on the player by lol lv47 monsters. Seems like SE got 50% of this patch wrong.

More like 100x. Til then this is a waste of effort. If you're not first you may as well not be there. Nobody gets that you can just spam aoe cures, flash, pop all your cooldowns, whatever. To get big enmity/credit. They'd rather just kill it in 2 seconds.

But you know how messed up is the balance for SE, if they were doing this they would probably not increase the reward given by said NMS, and people would complain on how its too grindy.

I can see them doing adjustments on hunts in a future patch, same with how they dealt with fates. Set up some sort of formula for everyone that participates in a hunt, the next time it spawns.. for example, 52 people participated in some random B rank hunt, for every 10 people that were there the HP value increase by x2.5 for the next spawn.

I just did a rank B elite mark and was there from the start of the fight. I started with Swiftcast Fire III and the fight was over before my first Fire went off. Got 3 seals.

Only thing with this is that most are made to be things you can do in small groups. It kinda suck if a 100 person shell owned it last and your 8 person pt comes in lol.

They need to get rid of old philo mat drops from dungeons, or at least make them separate from gear drops.

It's a kick in the dick to new players who could actually use the gear that drops there, now that expert dungeons drop i80 gear it's just straight up retarded.

"Hey you could get an i80 piece of gear or a junk mat you'll need 9 of that you'll have to get someone else to craft for you into inferior i70 gear!"

edit: "Oh, also, if you want that i70 gear to even be worth a shit you'll need to meld it with materia which, thanks to the Novus quest, is stupidly expensive! :D"

[Alistaire]

Those junk mats you need 9 of craft a lot of things other than i70 gear now though. At least some of them do, fuck minium.

i have no idea why they didn't do this to begin with

Rip mythology tomes mats market

Is anyone else getting ridiculous packet loss? Three of my raiders are on the east coast, and as soon as NA primetime hits, they can't play at all.

[agrotc]

Yep.
Same thing happened to me last night, and by the looks of one of the threads on the OF it seems like a fairly common issue.

[Jem]

Already fed up of running CT. Literally all I have done today and yesterday is CT, not touched anything else at all since update. Only seen 1 pair of BRD pants drop and of course I lose lot to the BRD in full spiritbind gear who only lotted them because he lost lot on oil

Random is random but annoying nonetheless

[Judai]

lot 36 on HA Bow.
lot 98 on sand after.

at least I won the sand.

Speaking of CT, that unlock quest came off as really bad fanfic. >.>

[kisada]

getting a lot of weird graphics lag which make my game super choppy for like 5 straight seconds every 20.

also anyone having weird results on act lately? the bard and i were having a lot lower damage numbers than normal on t9 and i noticed some pitiful numbers on ramuh story mode yesterday on war. caster numbers were up, though.

it felt like i was wearing the wrong gearset or something but no matter how many times i checked i had the right shit on.

A lot of the story has been feeling like that, to be honest.

Not to sound ungrateful, but why do people shout that an NM is up and don't type in <pos>, even when asked? Got 2 notes for an A-Rank because I had to search most of the zone first, though I consider myself lucky for getting anything at all.
That being said, I can only imagine the horror that would ensue if they ever had to call an emergency-hotline. Where are those w-questions?

So, I'm re-subbed and patched and now I'm trying to do a server transfer. It's failing and this is the list of possible reasons:


Why Was My Transfer Declined?

- Your character may be enlisted in a free company, signed to a free company petition, or have submitted an application to join a free company.
- Your character may be currently logged into the game.
- Your character's retainer may currently have items for sale.
- The calamity salvager may still possess items from your inventory (only applicable to characters transferred from Version 1.0).
- Your character's retainer has not been rehired (only applicable to characters transferred from Version 1.0).
- One or more characters subject to transfer may be located in the Mordion Gaol.
- One or more characters subject to transfer may have logged out while in an instanced area.
- Your character may have logged out in a residential area.
- You may not have accessed the in-game character selection screen of your desired destination World prior to applying for World transfer.

So eh, any tricks to making this work or narrowing down the issue?

[Trocian]

Just logging in would narrow that down quite a bit.

[Meko]

NOPE - Your character may be enlisted in a free company, signed to a free company petition, or have submitted an application to join a free company.
NOPE - Your character may be currently logged into the game.
Never had one - Your character's retainer may currently have items for sale.
NOPE - The calamity salvager may still possess items from your inventory (only applicable to characters transferred from Version 1.0).
Never had one - Your character's retainer has not been rehired (only applicable to characters transferred from Version 1.0).
NOPE - One or more characters subject to transfer may be located in the Mordion Gaol.
NOPE - One or more characters subject to transfer may have logged out while in an instanced area.
NOPE - Your character may have logged out in a residential area.
What? - You may not have accessed the in-game character selection screen of your desired destination World prior to applying for World transfer.

I don't even know what that last line means.

[Serenseven]

What? - You may not have accessed the in-game character selection screen of your desired destination World prior to applying for World transfer.

I don't even know what that last line means.

I'm not sure why such a thing would be required, but I guess log in and when you're in that first screen where you select what character you want to log in with, change the World to the one where you want to go. You won't be able to continue past that point, since you don't (yet) have characters on that World, but it would count as having "accessed the in-game character selection screen of your desired destination World".

[Meko]

I tried creating a new character on the server/world that I wanted to be on in hopes to change my name when I moved. The world was unavailable for new character creation so I assumed that may be the reason for the declination of my transfer but it doesn't mention that. It also allows me to select it. I feel like these types of things hold SE back. If this were Blizzard, it would have been done in seconds, most likely, and I would be enjoying the game instead of trying to jump through hoops...but I digress.
