FFXIV Random Complaint Thread: Look forward to it

[Meresgi]

Well free weekend almost got me to resub, but this shit on a sunday at 12:30 EST?

SE did a great job with recent updates but this one issue ultimately ruins it for me. Still going at 75m atm.

Requeue? I was getting 5-10min queues for Flats all day today from 11am to 3pm.

People in ST yelling at anyone that tells frogs to melt people out of ice "WE NEED TEH ICE TO HIDE BEHIND".

Used peppers on my Rank 10 healer choco to reallocate the points into defender to get its barding. Barding didn't show up on the list. What gives SE?

Try fighting a mob. Doesn't even have to give XP. See if you get it then. A lot of the logic for this stuff is like DB triggers, they only execute checks on record changes.

Ppl trained my chocobo while I was busy with work last week. Got the XP bar full, but it was still Rank 8. I took it out, killed one Lv 3 squirrel without a level cap, and it dinged.

I think I'm like 0/45 now on that goddamned materia transmutation achievement. At least it's not a money sink, I'm getting better materia on average.

Thought I'd seen this somewhere:

Greetings,

In order to receive your first set of barding for your companion, you only need to reach rank 10. So if you have yet to receive your first set of barding, you can reallocate your points to the one you wish to obtain and then go retrieve it. However, to receive the second set of barding onward you will have to break the rank cap.

And yes, you'll be able to use all the barding you obtain.

Also, as another small tidbit, the item needed to reset your companion’s skill points can be obtained using grand company seals and through other means.

Instead, we now have a system that has to rely on people waiting for others to arrive because the whole server feels entitled to every single NM and it doesn't matter if you're the first guy there since all it takes is one of the many white-knight communists to reset the mob so more people can bash on it to invalidate everything you've done prior to the reset.

THIS.

This pissed me off immensely on the weekend. I'm out doing a few things solo for myself and happen to run across a couple of rank B's out in the wild. Then the hunt shells come along and reset the mob for 5 minutes while every AFK-netflix-watching-tard storms the zone for 5 fucking seals. You think one of these parties would give me an invite while they sat there for 5 minutes resetting whatever chance of full seals I had of of the monster? Hell no. 1 seal for me, too bad. So yeah, hunt shells that do this to rank B's can go fuck themselves really. Honestly I think the best way to deal with it is to stop the reset of HP on B ranks, there's no reason some prick teleporting in from the other side of Eorzea should get the advantage of his shell cockblocking the people who were already in the zone.

Amon will always cage people before Curtan Call is used and will not frog anyone making it impossible for there to never be ice cages up when it is about to happen. Atleast every experience I've had running ST about 400 god damn times this week has been that exact instance.

[Niiro]

Hence why it was a complaint: people not knowing wtf screaming about how "ur guna wipe us all".

Unrelated: trying to get Allagan Striking earrings from T2 for pvp (only like 3 i80+ earrings don't have ACC on them and I'm very partial to skill speed for PvP).

I....just can't take this level of retardation.

I can't even bring myself to relate any anecdotes of the horrors I've seen, it's too painful...

[Petitssk]

The way I understood that post you linked from OF hinges on this phrase

they plan on making S rank marks have top display priority, but they currently do not. Those notes state what was changed (HP values) and what they're going to change (easing contribution thresholds, display priority)

All of the verbage indicates future changes for those two points, not adjustments already made.

That said between poor implementation and an awkward reward scheme Hunts just leave me with an infinite amount of question marks I can't hold.

That does seem to be the case, indeed, at least it's ambiguous enough to allow for that possibility; comparing both the German and Japanese notes also points towards that being the case, though the German notes make it sound like the adjustments have already been made.

Still, I'm not sure if that would be better, as the problem with mobs not being displayed has been an issue from the start. Unless, of course, they plan to make tremendous changes to the system to reflect the point Niiro raises here. Whatever it is, I hope their plan is not to rely on players getting so tired of mass-disconnects that they stop doing Hunts.

Ugh ST in DF, ALWAYS one dipshit dps doesn't accept then it just cascades into the usual. Tank doesn't accept, healer gone...etc

And then the time when it finally does go through you're the one missing because you decided to do a map or a hunt mob because fuck standing around clicking accept for 20 minutes. They need to make it work like Frontlines, it's not like you need a full alliance for the initial trash pull and that gives plenty time for people to join.

Don't need an entire alliance for most of the fucking raid either as long as the people you DO GET arnt pants on head retarded and can stand on a switch/pull targets between 2 lasers.

You're asking a lot there though. I haven't done CT2 much but almost every time the raid wipes on the first boss. That said you could have 50 man alliances and some of these runs would still wipe.

[Lyall]

Square. We've seen in the first Ultima fight in Prae that you've got scripts to allow a mob to not die at 0% HP for a short while.

PUT THAT SHIT ON EVERY A-RANK AND S-RANK. MAKE THEM LIVE FOR AT LEAST A MINUTE, GOD DAMMIT.

[OWS_Tonx]

Lyall's post reminds me of my biggest disappointment. This weekend I went to help LS member do AK for their animus weapon. I haven't done this dungeon with a competent DPS in a while so I'm fucking amped thinkin we're gonna kill the first boss before mindflayer guy is summoned. Nah, fuck that. This guy goes holmgangmode on us and just chills with 1hp for like 10seconds. So many sad feels were had

I'd say 1 minute tops and yeah only for A or S ranks, B ranks can blow me. Also maybe make S ranks 24hrs? I really hate feeling like HNM camps again where i'm at work/sleeping and miss a S rank spawn and get a little angry/jealous over it. (Why do I have a career?!?!?! FUCK ALL DEEZ KIDS).

[Shenrien]

I'm not upset ever when an S rank pops, oh darn I missed out on 50 points that I'll never get to see again but at least I can always join in on hunts on A respawn and rack up 360 points in the matter of 20-30min.

[Seravi Edalborez]

Hysteria makes you move even under the effects of Holmgang.

lol

[ronin sparthos]

Dear lord make these fucking mobs poppable already. Farm trash mobs, pop shit, collect points.

You know you're trying hard when your system is worse than something Tanaka devised half a bottle in.
