FFXIV Random Complaint Thread: Look forward to it

I'd hold onto them until further notice personally. On the slim chance they do something with them or remember they forgot to delete them or something.

Edit: Welp, shame on me for going to official forums in downtime. White knights be white as fuck. "You shouldn't be able to respec chocobos because you should live with your consequences." lol

All the NMs I used to know and love/hate: Simurgh, Roc, Ose, etc, are now just bland FATEs that give you some exp/gold/seals, same as any other random FATE.

I felt the same way, but they probably just put them there for people that played FFXI that will get the reference.

They want to make FFXIV it's own game, so they probably want the new bosses/rares/HNM type monsters the things you remember when FFXXIV online comes out.

Feel like I'd classify that as trolling more than white knighting. Kind of like the guy here who feel XIV is missing something because he's not punished severely when he fucks up.

Trying to do any fates in Coerthas without being the first one there. On Hyperion they are over before a mob even loads for me. And don't even try to get to one after it starts lol.

Their FATE scaling doesn't do well with more then 20sih people around; even GW2 fails at this, and they were the one built on the concept. The mobs HP need a lot more tiers, of scaling, to accomodate more people hitting any single one. At least none of them run into the problem of spawning a shit ton of adds that all AoE for a ridiculous amount, wiping everyone; they beat GW2 in that category.

They really need to up the exp rewards from leves to make them more worthwhile.

As it is you can sit around, wait for a FATE to pop, rush over and zerg it in 2 mins for 20k+ exp (at higher levels) then sit around and wait for the next. By comparison a leve of the same level range might give 7-8k and requires you to actually....do stuff, not necessarily hard stuff but leves certainly require more attention than FATEs.

Not much incentive.

I did some FATEs on ridill with my 1017 alt where it was me and one other player. Duoing FATEs is a little more challenging. I swear to god people have no common sense, shit is not going to be packed out forever, and the fact it is as packed out as it is was unexpected. This game is going to be very different in 6 months from now.

Oh, and the intention was never for people to camp FATEs, they were supposed to be something you "come upon" while leveling with quests and leves.

Just a note for people still up, you can update your game now. 1gb patch.

**Kensaki** · 2013-09-04 01:48

I like how SE made a 1-50 questing and dungeon experience and then made both obsolete other for main story completion by overtuning fate exp. I hope yoship is face palming himself as we speak.

I doubt it. Go ahead and level 1-50 with FATE only and enjoy not having access to jack shit in the game.

**Kensaki** · 2013-09-04 03:52

Which is exactly why he should be face palming himself. Their basically enticing people to screw themselves over to hit 50 faster which in turn will make the game lose more players as they hit 50 and have little to no gil and no primals or dungeons unlocked. Then again the game will lose most of its players when their hit with the reality of grinding stones and primals for 3+ months unless they have a awesome group to clear the bound coil.

This is a MMO you know

**Siatdiat** · 2013-09-04 04:09

I pray we do lose people that retarded. We probably won't though, they will stick around and bitch for years.

**arus2001** · 2013-09-04 04:12

I welcome "easy" leveling just because I don't plan on being a one-job-wonder. The inconvenience of a one-time quest chain is far superior to having to raid on multiple alts in other MMOs on top of rep grinds and all that stupid shit.

While I naturally express concern for a robust and accessible endgame, let's not kid ourselves into thinking everyone's already there right now and bitching about having nothing to do. Personally, I see myself needing 2-3 months or so to level everything, including crafts, to cap. This offers a bit of wiggle room for focusing on a main to run with some friends, too. And by then I hope we'd have 2.1 with more things to do, etc..

BULL. FUCKING. SHIT. Fix the god damn hit detection on these god damn things. I specifically stood in between them and then promptly died to 200dmg ticks because the hurt boxes don't match the graphics.

Spoiler: show

**Kensaki** · 2013-09-04 04:57

Lag causes your client and server to disagree on where exactly you are. Blame SE's shitty server code.

**Deadgye** · 2013-09-04 05:11

I was standing still. Those are damage over time things on the floor.
