FFXIV Random Complaint Thread: Look forward to it

[Eldelphia]

I'm down to one too and have been for weeks. I'm trying to get the Southern Thanalang S.

[Korialstrasz]

The hate list was capped.

Wait, this is a thing? SE never ceases to amaze.

[Shenrien]

It's capped at 200 I believe, or 256 for binary sakes.

[Kaisha]

It's an MMO. You have to have a fixed limit/capacity on everything unless you want the server exploding any more than it already does when 200+ people warp to the same zone and cluster around one mob.

[Lokus]

Naw bro, if you didn't cap seals you were doing it wrong and are a bad, lrn2hunt. (Am I doin it right?)

The active hate list for the mob is capped at.. some number. Everyone is still able to generate hate, and it's possible to get onto that list if you pass whoever was the lowest in that list. This larger list of everyone else is presumably updated less often to not crash the servers.

At least, I think it works that way if we assume that the enmity meter only shows up if you're in the active hate list. I've engaged an S rank a little late (~90%) and not had it show up, and a few gcd and a crit butcher's later it showed up.

ST never ceases to amaze me at how bad some people can be, how shitty it is in large quantities, and how indignant they get when you call them out on it.

[dejet]

This is, most people don't give a shit in st. I watch TV or something when doing it. Throw out my dots on smn bane them and don't spam ruin really. Still out DMG 90% of the players still I think my mindset is the norm, its not hard and seeing as you can't really lose don't give a shit.

HA. HAHAHAHA. HA.

The run I was just in took an hour. All 3 tanks would not get out of tank stance the entire run (until the wipe below where the 2 shittier tanks went into Sword Oath without comment). I was too lazy to check everyone but one DRG was full myth(+aiming ring), i55 weapon, spamming 123. Xande did 2nd jump at 46% (~15% higher than normal). We managed to get LB3. We actually wiped on Xande 2nd meteors; even after letting 2 small comets go and using a melee LB2, we could not kill the big meteor and all died. People repeatedly died to Ancient Quake over and over.

This was literally the most awful ST I have ever been a part of, including release week. I'm only surprised we didn't get to do 2 rounds of clockworks on Glasya.

[Sephiroth]

I joined an ST in progress last night. Got locked out of the third boss (Amon) before I could run there and watched in amazement as the alliance almost wiped. They just scraped through. How is that even possible? It's the easiest boss in there.

Only enjoyment I get out of ST is seeing how high I can push my DPS. Amon is like a giant training dummy. Managed about 487 on it last night.

Well now... I most likely would of dropped out if it was that bad.

[Icarian]

WHM's that throw you a regen right as you're about to pull, makes me want to punch them in the face :<

It didn't really hit me how bad it was until Xande. I didn't even win a sand

[Ratatapa]

WHM's that throw you a regen right as you're about to pull, makes me want to punch them in the face :<

then they blame you for the mob that hits them

[Alkar]

Or tanks that keep those Regens from the previous pull

[Kaisha]

My Lustrate decided to take a vacation. Thankfully it was only a Garuda HM.

[dejet]

Lustrate is linked to HG for some reason. So if hg is down so is it.

Odd things link to each others time.
Have not been playing the last month, but elusive jump links to like cure 1 or some shit.

[Raldo]

Well shit, that somewhat explains why sometimes I go to farm clusters and one particular cluster boosting ability is locked with some ridic 2 minute cooldown or something.

[Icarian]

I hate when people use that as an excuse "you had it from last pull", when he clearly fucking renewed it right as I was going to pull, I mean, what's there to gain? You drop a regen on the tank, make the tank stop hard on his tracks, tick off the regen, and go at it again so you can drop another regen two seconds later, it's a waste of MP, time, and annoying as fuck.

I've never had people complain though.

[Lyall]

My life for an XI-style ability to cancel buffs with a controller.

...and now I'm not sure if that was even possible with a controller anymore. I swear it was like, two button presses. One to max the log, one to toggle to status bar.
