FFXIV Random Complaint Thread: Look forward to it

[Grey Jorildyn]

Well we can see MP so why not TP! Would be nice to have it as an option even if it's through something new like /playerfocustarget

[Kaisha]

Didn't they answer that at one of the fanfests when somebody asked why MP shows in the party list for non casters instead of TP? They gave some bullshit answer about "not wanting to overwhelm players with too much information" or something equally stupid.

Then they simply make that shit an option like XI did last year.

I could really go for a second focus-target bar.

They had to go out of their way to rework the PS3's memory use just to enable them to use FT to begin with (PS3 originally couldn't).

I wouldn't hold my breath.

Well, I hate to be the one to defend this here, but it's just another case where "XIV should be easy for players to get into yadda yadda", whereas in XI they don't care about that too much.

[Korialstrasz]

Well if there's one thing that makes it easy for casuals to get into a game, it's displaying wrong/irrelevant information on screen.

[Corrderio]

My current complaints:

1. Steam Overlay still possibly crashing the game
2. Macros not being able to wait shorter than 1 second

EDIT: FFXIV crashed while posting this...

So the ilvl 110 sync in dungeons is glitched, me on pld without a single piece over 110 lost all materia bonuses from my melded i90 accessories.

[Seravi Edalborez]

I have to think it's unintentionally intentional, because the ilvl sync wording is the exact same as Frontline which also disables materia of any level.

Which is extremely dumb but ok sure SE.

[Edelweiss]

The whole idea of syncing them is fucking retarded. But diminishing the value of your crafted accessories through good ol' dev team incompitence? Now that just happens to top the keks.

Also whoever OK'd this fucking Masterbook II stuff: pls enjoy the girthiest of dildos from a dildo factory production line, embedded with rusty razors and coatings of salt. This fucking layering of RNG, and they're harder than the four-stars themselves. lol And to top this stream of shit off, a friend NQs an Artisan's File at 98%.

Thanks Yoshida.

Why does bloody everything take Mastercraft Demimateria? I'd love to get the new gathering pieces...but I'm not made of gil.


My other complaint for the day: I need practice on divebombs/elemental dance for T9. The few PF groups that pop up can't get past second golems.

You obtain a copy of Master Blacksmith II.

You learn 1 new recipe.

I don't mind that part of it, just that they should've put it @ 115 to include all gear that was available at the time before the sync. Just individual gear should not be sync'd. Works for gear while levelling up, idk why they can't get it to work if this is the 2nd instance of it taking off materia regardless of level. I wasn't aware frontlines had the same derp about it.

Their basis was to "preserve the challenge;" you know, in the way that any of these are challenging.

If they had just said they were butthurt about the potential for us to pull everything between bosses en mass with a semi-compitent group (with some luck anyway via DF) and blow through old shit at iLv. 130, it'd have been less irritating. But they didn't, and they even fucked up crafted accessories in the process when they don't exceed their silly 110 cap in any way. lol

[Ratatapa]

Forgot to equip my atma weapon at Pharos boss

Well I know which one I'm doing last.

Also, have to agree with the complaints of crafting turning into a complete RNG game. Plus, I decided to start leveling my BSM desynth and the complete lack of inexpensive items to desynth from 75-100 is annoying. Sure I could grind garuda and moogle hard, but using DF is way too slow for it to be worthwhile. I'd rather just blowup 3-500k per level on summoning bells until I reach a reasonable percentage on tool desynths.

[Seravi Edalborez]

Problem is that BSM makes ingot, and ARM can't. Yet ARM uses the ingots.

They pulled this same thing with Wolfram.

[Shaano]

CPR only gets 2, but atleast one of the synths is the crafting feet for a whopping 3 more control

If they want that shit to be challenging they need to sync at the level the dungeon drops are. They were faceroll at i90 and even moreso at i110. In reality I've no reason to ever do pre 2.4 dungeons again because they tuned hard roulette + dungeon reward to give less poetics than a standard 2.4 run. Of course they will find a way to have us farming them, probably for the next relic.

Trial last night was Ifrit HM with two ninja, neither of whom have more than 3300hp or used poisons. One kept dying to charges and responded to being laughed at with "yeah whatever im getting ready for cod kid."

I get iLevel Sync in theory, but it irks me that my Nexus gets bumped down. It was obtainable during the content, so why take that away? Should have made it i115 so the folks with weapons get to use them.

Final Coil FMVs aren't uploaded anywhere.

It's Monday.

[Eidle]

I wish they would let go of trying to keep older dungeons "challenging" and just let us duo, or even solo old content. Thats one of the more popular things to do in WoW, I guess the older content is just not old enough for them. Are other new jobs relic pre-cursor materials still going to come out of WP? If so, I want to go in there solo or with a friend so I can just get it and not pay and super inflated price for it on the MB.
