FFXIV Random Complaint Thread: Look forward to it

[Neon_Sea]

annoying how?

Well I think it is a really useful class, I just don't like too many things about it. The pet does a large part of my damage yet I really just set it and forget it. The books all look lame and I don't see how they can really improve that. They don't feel engaging enough either, as blm I feel like I am constantly ramping up damage and every cast and decision counts, same as monk. Yet with Smn I just put up the usual and kinda dick around and do 400dps. The lack of juicy hits they have bugs me too, Black Mage has those big booms and even when bards go off they start machine gunning hits but Smn just chillin.

Someone already mentioned the SB nerf, no more spamming t4 DF for me

So lets dissect the premade alliance thing.

-CT/ST only, so premade PvP with multiple parties is still a chore.
-Must be a full 24(?) to register.
-"Please note that the leaders of each party in the alliance must be in the same area before registering for duty." Fucking seriously.

The one upside is no role restrictions so go nuts with 1 tank, 3 healer, 20 DPS?

Spoiler: show

FFXI didn't have this problem

All Seeing Eye, fireworks in the sky all day every day regardless of what time of year it was. I miss it.

/pet is /stroke in the JP patch notes. Oh what fun could have been had.

[Korialstrasz]

Oh please tell me it's going to be XIs examine all over again.

The upside is this can be used for hunts.

Did not even think of this; amazing.

[Raldo]

I'm going to wait until someone's actually tried this before being happy about it. All this shit about needing to be in the same zone makes me wonder if the alliance falls apart if anyone zones (though the patch notes imply that you simply can't queue).

You can't see your alliance members until you join a duty.

So, it won't work for hunts.

-CT/ST only, so premade PvP with multiple parties is still a chore.

I wouldn't be too sure. Unless the DF window for CT/ST specifically says "or you can alliance it up", I'd try it first for Carteneau. Assuming you have 24 Ul'hah folks to go of course.

-Must be a full 24(?) to register.

Yeah, can't wait for that to be undone. Lowman plz.

don't need to see them, just the chat

[foopy]

Oh, you can see the chat?

Thank you, I didn't realize that.

Better than nothing!

This is exactly what always turned me off about SMN as well.

It's just so much milling about, there's no satisfaction/gratification in apply DoTs and spamming Ruin. The occasional crit Fester is as good as it gets really.

[Nitsuki]

With this you can now low man ST, go in w/ full alliance and have 16 people quit! 8man onry!

Edit: complaint, lol trying to 8 man when you need platforms to deal w/ scylla and other bosses.

[Kuishen]

I don't know, I was just kind of saying. I would hope so. If not then the system needs work.

The dye fruit seeds are untradeable; so arbitrary.

[Falisa]

Didn't think this deserved a separate thread. Interview with Yoshi-P: http://www.siliconera.com/2014/08/19...-game-content/

“Basically, the thought of having high-end content that can be challenged with eight players or a 24-man alliance raid, won’t be changing,” said Yoshida.

Oh Yoshi...do you really think of CT as high-end content?

lolwut

[layoneil]

aren't they purchased with Allied Seals? isn't everything from there untradeable?

you can trade the fruits though.
