FFXIV Random Complaint Thread: Look forward to it

A ZNM-like system would have some potential. Though a game like FFXI, which was a game made of side-grades, allowed for easy variations of content to keep things sort of fresh.

**Seravi Edalborez** · 2014-09-08 18:45

My static has at least 2 people who are very certainly gonna quit if 3.0/expansion doesn't significantly change the formula or add another "thing" to do that is both relevant and not-faceroll, and I can't say I disagree with them or that I have any high hopes that it will impress them enough to stay. 2 others are mostly playing other games during the week.

I think we're lucky to have kept our static mostly intact; 6/8 of T5 clear group are still in the group. We try our best to reschedule if stuff happens and for the most part it's working out, especially since we're clearing 6-9 easily now. Twice a week. Though that in itself is kind of tiring.

I mention it every time this comes up:

There already was one in 1.0 that used leves (do certain leves, unlock other leves, eventually unlocked ones that had HNMs in them).

SE apparently thought it was a better idea to relegate leves to people lvling DoH/DoL and nothing else.

Oh trust me guys I don't want kings back. Behemoth style shows how shit its version is in this game.

Iv said this before but I'm talking post update(pre cap raise) where you could do salvage/sky/sea/znm with almost any size group less av/PW

It was an amazing balance. Tell me NI was not great, or hell even low manning salvage less boss fights when low on members. That's what I'm talking about it was not an all or nothing fight, a small group of even 3 could make progress in some end game.

Ya I loved playing with 30 active members in my teens... But as I got older we had about 10 soils members and almost any night we could find something fun to do.

But ya fuxk off kings.....

Fuck kings I agree, but hell even at this point if there were kings in FFXIV there would be something more to do.

But I agree with you 100%, having multiple options for things to do was nice. Having things to do is nice in any game. I log into FFXIV one day a week to clear coil, and that's it. There is nothing else fun to do.

It was nice being able to log into XI, and have to decide what I was going to do. Or even, having different LS events on different days because there was more than one thing to do in Endgame. Dyna/Limb/Sea Farm+Gods/Sky/etc. I know, some content was multiple expansions in meaning several years later. But even right now in XIV, you have one thing to do. Now sure, you could do ST, maybe some hunts. But the only gear I need is in one place, that I can do once per week. Shit sucks

**kisada** · 2014-09-09 00:00

yeah it feels like every other patch the tail end gets super bland and boring. i've managed to interest myself in doing 4v4 den matches partly cause it's fun but mostly as a challenge to myself to become a really good player and it's at least something to do. i kind of feel bad for everyone cause there is NOTHING fun to do after coil's done, while at least i get to compete day in and day out in pvp.

**dejet** · 2014-09-09 00:43

Main problem I see for the future is that no matter what they do you won have more then 1 real even, two if you consider ct end game.

And that will not change.

**Nitsuki** · 2014-09-09 01:27

Welp, witnessed my gf about to beat t9 w/ a pug group right before reset. At 1%, the aether data center decided to take a massive shit and dc'd half the group. They decided to start again and my gf couldn't get back on for 10 min, followed by getting replaced and that group clearing. Fuck this game's servers. They decide to shit on you at the greatest fucking times.

That's a load of shit, bad servers or no.

**Arthars** · 2014-09-09 02:11

frontline is there to shave off some tail ends before major patches......

but its getting better than 2.0 for real.... we should see more optional shits to do like hunts systems as patches roll

i been doing nothing as well past 3 days after my 4th novus....... FL is fun but pointless if you already 100 BSM desynthesis and no use for mytho....

i would love some solo dungeon/content you can do for lets say build a il105 armor but hunts ruined everything

Also, pugging coil is fun because it lets you roll something you possibly couldnt get in entire patch with static. Also you get to play other jobs

in MMO most people cared only for gears. and FFXIV doesnt have gear swaps, unlike ffxi where almost every piece of gear got its use, so its easier to "cap" something and log out for the week/month/forever

zodiac weapons is a nice touch imo, even tho many people complain about it. its good to fill your time on mindless grinds and remember when mmo used to be fun when your grinding? well not anymore because of kids these days wanting everything handed to them.

i bet the average age group in BG forum is 28 and OF is 12

**Neon_Sea** · 2014-09-09 02:43

Yeah I hear that man, there was so much crying about getting augmentations/gear dye/desynth glam..etc but to be honest I didn't mind the grind for any of that. I actually thought it was pretty cool that they made certain useless items tougher to get, it made doing something solo have a purpose at least.

**Karbuncle** · 2014-09-09 02:52

I came back to the game for a bit during the free campaign, I liked what I saw enough to stay and resubscribe for at least 30 days... So, now im tackling Atma farming, and I just wanna complain about it.

9 cumulative hours, 4 or more in Fallguard Float(or whatever) and not a single Atma to show for it. Double checked I had the quest active, was always on my Zenith job with weapon equipped. So... absolutely... trash. I hate it

, not even a sense of progression as the seals are more than useless for me atm, I just dump them into whatever I can make a little gil off of. Is there any trick to this or am I combating the RNG forever? In which case, im not upgrading it cause I have 0 luck, unluckiest MF ever.

**Arthars** · 2014-09-09 02:56

atma is just the very isolated case.... i collected 5 sets and i know people who collected 100 of them

it can be frustrating yes....... thats the only thing idk how SE is going to come up with an alternative

maybe let us buy atmas at 1000 allied seal? idk

its not hard to drop tbh, but when it does cockblock you, it cockblocks you HARD

**The Stig** · 2014-09-09 03:27

To glow or not glow my burtgang.... I don't play PLD as often these days (boring) but Burtgang looks so cool I had to have it. For future glamour purposes, if I glow it now, I'll have to live with it forever....

The glow ruins it somewhat.

But.... dat glow.... !

ugghhhhh I hate this agony

If I nab another UAT from CT2 I'll buy it, but I would rather get the WHM stick as I play WHM or WAR exclusively these days lol

**Shaano** · 2014-09-09 06:37

wait till soldiery is un capped to get it

**dejet** · 2014-09-09 06:55

whats holding me over is a mule account is getting ready for 2.38 or 2.4 so I can buy a 2nd plot of land for the FC LOL, No joke iv thought about buying up as much land as I can and just naming it 2/3/4/5 and so on.

lots of new comers still around to fill the 100k points needed I think? LOL would run around 400mil to buy a full zone around 400~500mil if I buy everything but the large plots early on before prices drop.

**Shaano** · 2014-09-09 10:26

Login to get times of coil tonight, WHM from static is hacked gg.

**Null** · 2014-09-09 20:51

Servers keep crashing.

**Seravi Edalborez** · 2014-09-09 20:52

Yep. Selectively targeted our Lalafells.

**SamanosukeShiva** · 2014-09-09 20:53
