FFXIV Random Complaint Thread: Look forward to it

[solracht]

it sounded like that idea has been abandoned for now, they mentioned it around the time they announced thief/ninja

edit:
one of the sources, I know it was mentioned somewhere else:

Secrets of Eorzea : When can we expect the arrival of the second jobs of existing classes? Do you not fear to be limited in the future with such a system? Do you imagine the possibility to completely change the class/job system in a next expansion?

Naoki Yoshida : I am not allowed to say anything about 3.0 because if I talk about it before Fan Festival, I will get talked to by several people so sorry I can’t get into further details. At the moment, Arcanist goes into Summoner and Scholar but the allocation is the same, so that’s something we would need to solve before bringing secondary jobs to other classes. So, that’s about as far as I can tell you.

...
Secrets of Eorzea : During the PS3 version presentation, in an interview, you said there was a possibility that jobs could use completely different weapons than their classes and altered basic skills. Do you still consider it or are you thinking of a new game-play system?

Naoki Yoshida : For the 3.0 expansion pack, we already know what jobs we want to introduce. We already decided, and already started working on it. The example I gave earlier [regarding jobs that alter existing skills] doesn’t fit with 3.0. If we’re talking longer future, I don’t know, and I haven’t decided, so it might be possible. That would be nice.

Tbh, I'm just hoping they're not dumb enough to add in a whole new class of gear for NIN rather than just tack them onto BRD's.

Because we totally need more potentially unwanted drops shitting up the coil chests.

fixed that for ya. Except it will be odd to not have them on Fuma gear.

(and yes I know it's still up in the air whether it'll be str or dex...SE: we have decided...but we may change it)

[Detzu]

I wonder what happened to other classes getting a second job. Probably expansion content.

I have high hope for DRK from Ishgard as a tank class.

[Arthars]

DRk is rumored to be tank for a while now, most prolly it shall be........ proc based tank job

healer is either rdm or dnc

[Xerlic]

I'm convinced that unless the number is 100%, the displayed chance of success for gathering/desynthesis is a fucking lie.

it is, i have failed 7 in a row on 89.5% before

[Elcura]

How are you only now figuring this out?

If it isn't 100% prepare for sadness.

[Kipling]

HAHA, LOOKS LIKE IM CHANGING JOBS FOR RAID YET AGAIN. So many pieces of gear I never lotted

they're removing the fantasia limiter though, so at least while changing jobs you can keep changing race too

[kisada]

wonder how drk tank would work though if war is already kind of a blood tank?

[Taint]

Counter tank.

Stores damage taken (maybe gains a stack each time its hit) then you unleash the stacks.

1,2,Stack unleash.

Have multiple methods to use the stacks. Damage up, in coming damage down, AoE attack, burst attack that must be comboed. (so you can't pull 10 mobs and spam it)

As an OT have Souleater that drains HP for damage and LR sheads hate and defense for an attack boost.

[kisada]

oh yeah that's definitely one way. that'd be an interesting one

[Arthars]

damn if taint is job creator, i want that DRK nao

[Ratatapa]

not getting enough 2/3 for books

[Kipling]

Yeah. This is true. Just glad they're releasing it in time for 2.4. The way they release new race specific hairstyles every patch with limited fantasias was extremely cruel from my point of view.

I recently completed WAR Nexus with a healthy mix of bright primals and insta-queue roulettes. Nothing but aggressive pulls and people played along without a hitch.

Just started on MNK...

I've been kicked or "taught a lesson" in more roulettes than I've completed without incident--and that's assuming I stick around 5-20m in the queue. Been votekicked for: proactively opening mimics, feeding the Sasquatch(?), aggroing anything ever--and that's just in Hullbreaker. I've also had tanks abandon the duty outright, but the best tanks will stop doing anything, let everyone KO, and act as though I violated some sacred pact by aggroing mobs 1s before the tank does. They would rather hold up the whole dungeon for 5m to protect their chickenshit ego than make any attempt at enmity control.

I did the most retarded stunts on WAR and folks carried on, but if I do anything out of the ordinary on MNK the social order breaks down. It's some Prince and the Pauper shit.

[Nitsuki]

Not once has that ever happened to me on mnk, wtf were you doing? Lol i get the usual "mnk can't aoe" then i end up topping the dps charts.

[Elcura]

To be fair I don't like anyone else aggroing shit in DF for the most part because 9/10 times they're a retarded ranged dps who runs around like an idiot. Melee dps aggro isn't a big deal since they tend to not move around so much...unless they're the kind of idiots that do.

Though I haven't been in DF a lot recently I rarely find people willing to kick me on it when I'm on MNK. In fact most of the time I have to beg them to kick me because I don't want to wait 30m for the next set of idiots. Maybe you just ran across a few drama-queen tanks in DF? They certainly do exist. Most common complaint is MNK can't AoE DPS, which is stupid since everyone technically can.

[Seravi Edalborez]

My new pet peeve is tanks who spam Tomahawk/Lob 3-8 times because a boss isn't coming over to them yet, because it's a part of the boss's rotation where they are using something (Garuda Friction, Glasya destructo disks, etc).

I don't understand.

I wouldn't vote kick or leave but I would get annoyed if you ran ahead of me and aggro'd shit. It's hard to get back but it's annoying and I would rather just pull the shit myself so everyone can focus on their job instead of go, lol, why does the mnk have hate on shit(I wouldn't care about mimics, I like when others pop them, and I hate that nobody else pops the coffins for me and I have to do it, then get frozen). I've also had plenty of retards who MUSTGOFAST and get annoyed if I pull small packs, because I don't think the party can handle more(I usually judge the party on the first pull and decide if we have dps/heals to pull larger packs), then they pull a second set, I get hate, and we all die because usually the dps is shit and the healer can't keep up forever.

As a tank, the run is basically yours to control, so only the healer can really say, we can go faster or slow down and most people will not kick a tank unless they are beyond awful because they get instant queues. A DPS doing annoying shit, is easy to replace.
