The Official Forum fail thread: This game wasn't meant for alts.

Humm, a PS1 copy of VP for 63. Not sure how much it actually costs but the game is worth it. No I didn't read the comments because I don't feel like killing myself just yet.

What's funny is that was the guy that posted a pic of him playing on some 15 inch old school bubble screen TV or some shit where the res was so low that only half of the party list was able to be displayed, and was like "I have fun, but it's hard to play! ^_^". People threw a fundraiser for him and bought him a brand new TV despite people crying scam over the matter, which was just met with people crying to stop hating and whatnot. Every few weeks he posts his newest purchase, with the more recent ones being a brand new PS4 and yesterday close to $70 on a PS1 game. You know, to play on his free TV.

Sadly, what annoys me the most isn't even that he got free stuff from his earlier shenanigans, but that he replies ^_^ to everything. Pretty sure ^_^ is in at least half of what he posts. ^_^ ^_^ Not even joking ^_^

^_^

Edit: And reading the comments I see that whole money conversation and shit flinging is still going. Amazing.

Never seen a copy go out below 100$ / €.

Oh, and general "I can't watch cutscenes, you ruined the game for me" whining.

[Edelweiss]

Watch your cutscenes, we're going on without you. Don't like it? Fuck off.

That's the only reasonable compromise forever. If they want to be special snowflakes, they can PF it. lol That butthurt about being locked out of those battles too, amazing. And their solution about segregating first-timers and people who've cleared it is even more hilarious.

[Corrderio]

In all honesty, I think SE was retarded for adding cutscenes in the first place. I don't mind the openers/closers, but the whole "Oh we need to interrupt the dungeon for this cutscene for boss introduction/something of importance is happening" is annoying as fuck.

[Kirbyprime]

I've always feel that it's a suitable compromise. If you're watching CS, I'll carry you for your solidery bonus. If you're skipping CS and trying to run in to fight bosses, I'll wait for you. No I'm not going to slowly kill every little group because it breaks your immersion. Guess what, my immersion is that compared to everything else in the dungeon, I'm a living god and I'll steamroll it because I can.

[Arthars]

do you still get bonus if the one invoked bonus message leave?

would be even more awesome to make them leave if you still get bonus? ^Q^

[Niiro]

If that worked I'm pretty sure people would have been exploiting the fuck out of it immediately and it would have been fixed shortly after.

Seriously, the cutscenes aren't that long. It isn't that big a deal. The only place where it's obnoxious is Castrum.

[Arthars]

also, for peeps being locked out of bosses, i have been in 1 prae PT where there are english speaking peeps

someone was new, of course, and crying about missing out the fight cos he was watching CS

someone dude replied "oh, take it as your watching a CS. The CS where we, warriors of light, is wrecking shit up for you"

fucking win

My HDD loads slow so it gets annoying seeing the black screen of nothingness before I can skip it. Especially for trivial crap like the elevator CS in T4 which could have easily been done without a cutscene.

[Niiro]

You.....know you can auto-skip CSs right.

[Dammerung]

You.....know you can auto-skip CSs right.

It still has to load though before it can skip. Thanks, brilliant game design!

Which is unfortunately thanks to them also using cutscenes as a means to move your character around if they deem it required.

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...-more-fairness

In case of nukage:

This daily lottery is somehow something nice, but to be honest, it's a BIT unfair, when some people already won 40.000 MGP with it, and other never had even the CHANCE on a single 10k or 3,6k prize.

If this continues like that, some people will just get hundredthousands of MGP, while other don't got 10% of this.

It would be one thing, if there would be any other way to get such intense amount of MGP, but somehow the Gold Saucer is really mainly a Casino like this - in the bad way and hell: for Chocobo raising you pretty much need all those MGP.

I don't really get, why you implement it like this. You nerfed retainers, so they will not bring people raid stuff, but now, with Gold Saucer, it's back and even worse.

All things, which bring most MGP, are 100% luck based, even the Typhoon Gate, the only one which gives 1600 MGP, is 100% RNG.

I mean, I really would like to understand: why?

(bolded part by me for emphasis)

[Lyall]

How the fuck is that anything like retainer adjustments?

Also, it's like some people have never heard of a lottery before.

[3.141592]

Geez, that's enough salt for another fuckin dead sea. The best thing that the OP wouldn't even think about complaining about the "unfairness" if they were among the ppl with 40k.

[Rocl]

I really don't get people's rage over the typhon gate. It's random okay sure but you're in a fucking casino???? Like wtf did you expect skillfully manipulating dice to come up 7 every time??

He's been training as a ninja for the past 6 years. His mastery over fingering techniques would obviously allow him to do that.
