Post 6, topic involving wait macros for a whole rotation and why they are bad. Then this guy.

Macros are great for DPS. However you need to know when to use them.
Every class i have has a full rotation of their main abilities. However, the only time these are used, is when there are movement-intensive mechanics where more attention has to be payed to staying alive than pressing your hotbar keys. Being able to just stay within hit range of your target but pay full attention to movement and the surrounding area is a big bonus. Cant DPS if you're dead. So that slower rotation is a good payoff for staying alive.
If you can stand still, or have a relaxed fight, having all your abilities on the bar and using in optimal rotation with that .5 less between everything is awesome.

lol, the sole concept of playing optimally without macros and handling mechanics at the same time is simply too much for some people to grasp.

i dislike that "can't dps if you're dead" has become twisted into a popular excuse like it's some great wisdom

Not necessarily fail, but this was kind of interesting in that it got a dev response pretty timely: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...he-Crying-Game

Was going to say something, but every sentence I try to form doesn't come out right, so I guess I'll say I'm annoyed that even had to be taken into consideration given some of the other achievement labels and game dialog that can be taken out of context.

[Quicklet]

I wish I could believe that this person was just trolling.

LOC/Lore red names tend to hound the forums more regularly, even if they don't respond they read for sure

ofc if you scour certain parts of the internet the change isn't enough

Need to ship those people back to tumblr.

Someone should make a thread saying that "Scent of a Woman" is offensive and should be changed to something more tasteful... like "The Crying Game" or something

[Lyall]

Always sad to see people cave because of special snowflake feelings. I wish I had the time or willpower to read far too much into things and then complain until people change them to meet my approval.

Allow me the opportunity to apologize for the LOC team's choice of achievement name for the new Savage Coil. This was not done with the intent to offend, but to merely be another of our numerous shout-outs to random pop culture. We want these things to be as fun for as many people as possible, so if one is causing a player hurt, then it's our job to consider an alternative...and that's what we've decided to do here.

Ugh, I keep rereading that and being put-off. Time to write my Congressman about the sahagin daily fate where the pirate boss tells me to strip naked and he might not kill me. My feelings are sensitive!

I dare you to try

If I kept my dongle on me at work, I would.

"Scent of a Woman" as an achievement just screams to me girls don't play games and guys who clear Savage Coil are losers who can't get that any other way.

[Kaixin]

did any of these people actually watch the crying game? because that movie is pro-transgender as fuck for 1992

For some reason I logged in like...a year ago and I'm still logged in on OF at work, yet at home, I get logged out just for scrolling the damn page.

I bumped the thread, OP may be technically correct but he's still a crybaby. I have a number of gay friends and a trans friend (lol this sounds like the "I'm not a racist!" excuse), but I get the impression that there a lot more people that are upset for others than people actually getting personally offended by shit like this. And I live outside Boston, where it's a pastime to engage in sympathetic guilt over oppressed minorities, lol.

I honestly didn't know about the whole "ima go vomit" thing, and without any context, I can't say it's the "wrong" reaction, I mean, what do you do if you've been dating someone for a while and only find out at the end that you're not sexually compatible? Maybe vomiting is a bit much, but the idea that he's just gonna say "Oh, okay, I guess I can learn to love the cock" or just "Oh, alright, peace out bro" is ridiculous.

I think the dude just wants to complain. He should start posting here to feed his addiction.

Burn and salt the earth.

[Kaixin]

ok so let me spoil the rest of the movie for you.

first, it's a white person falling in love with a black girl, for americans this is already pretty "woah"
second, it's an IRA member who is getting it on with this girl and then wow surprise penis in your face. vomiting is a believable movie reaction for his character and honestly? a believable real life reaction for the average man in the audience
third HE GETS OVER IT AND THEY FALL IN LOVE AGAIN
fourth she is badass and proactive and kills her previous boyfriend's murderer
fifth he takes the fall for her shooting and they plan to get together after he gets out of prison

[Lyall]

SIXTH IT IS OFFENSIVE TO ME FOR SOME REASON SO CHANGE IT, NO ONE'S FEELINGS ARE ALLOWED TO BE HURT ON THE INTERNET.

No one point out the ESRB: Ratings May Vary Online bit when they boot the game. Wouldn't want to blow their teensy little minds.

[Azat]

I thought that thread would of been bitching about the spoiler nature of that title. If the only thing that person took out of the crying game was that one scene, they got more problems then being supportive offended by it.

So, that all sounds rather interesting. Too bad most people just remember the tranny part. I'll have to watch it sometime.
