FFXIV Random Complaint Thread II: DPS can't count to potato

[Dotsudoku]

speaking of, random complaint: I've yet to see any good CT/ST tier drama in WoD. It seems to lack that it only takes one idiot to screw everything up vibe that its predecessors had

[ronin sparthos]

You're conflating complete douchebags with people politely asking to be removed at little to no penalty to other members. Nobody who pitches a fit or trolls the group deserves to have their requests granted, and all the same, nobody else is morally obligated to help them out regardless of their demeanor. My problem is with everyone taking a staunchly anti-kicking position for apparently no reason at all other than man up. When it turns into a, "it's the principle of the thing, man!" situation rather than an issue of practical inconvenience, it becomes a dick move.

If there weren't a gigantic line of people waiting to pop in their place to take a teleporter to exactly where you currently are, I'd probably feel differently. In the mean time, if someone politely asks(and doesn't throw a bitchfit if there's opposition), I see no reason not to appease them.

I think it comes down to people not being cool with you wanting to leave cause your loot didn't drop off a boss, regardless of the next person waiting to jump in right away. Most people running WoD aren't getting their drops so why should someone get to be 'more efficient' by getting kicked to avoid the DF penalty when others are going to have to slog yet another CoD for jackshit?

Misery loves company. If you want to be kicked, insult the other alliances like everyone else, refuse to do anything and get kicked the old fashioned way.

Ooh, speaking of that... does anything super bad happen if you don't chain cerb? Someone could grab the chain and just hold it, right?

His attacks will eventually become so fast you'll just asplode and die.

I finally got my helmet drop last week when a group got really mad at me over asking a tank to make sure they actually establish enmity when they go and facepull every room. My WAR was taking hate with maim combos and defiance off, I wasn't even rude about it but it set these guys off hard and they spent the entire rest of the run bitching at me, it was fucking priceless. It got to the point where they put their T13 clear titles on and started calling me a casual (I guess because I was on my WAR alt which is not geared to the teeth, so they assumed I am a complete shitter). I'm usually nice to just about everyone in WoD but I couldn't resist egging these guys on when they got mad as fuck over fucking nothing. Definitely made the run slightly less monotonous too! I wanna say Waka Bo (from here) was in that run too and I felt slightly bad about making myself look like a dick but god damn it was too hard to resist and finally getting my drop after like 15 runs that week made it all worth.

You know your run in Crystal Tower will be fun when someone starts bitching from the moment you get the DUTY COMMENCED on screen.

"Fucking fucks get out of cutscene."

When he finishes casting Reawakening or w/e his move is, he gets 16 stacks of haste and just proceeds to kill everyone.

next level: use healing spells on those that pick up the chains

I learned the hard way last night that there's actual targets you need to click on Cerb to place a chain, instead of just dropping the 'item' on the target like every other instance of picking stuff up on a boss fight in the game.

Great time on Mumble though.

[Andradi]

That doesn't even seem possible.... I have like 50 from random fates.

It's definitely possible, I spent hours on several zones too (after the rate buff). RNG is RNG.

[Korialstrasz]

Most fun I've had in WoD so far is charging straight into the melee with feint particle beam.

Doesssss that do something?

[The Stig]

Drops chain. Chainer goes derp. Everyone screams. Cerberus rages. Everyone slowly dies.

[Karbuncle]

Doesssss that do something?

>_>

Any action on the person with chains causes them to drop the chain. I.E it goes back to the wall and they have to run and pick it up again.

[Yukari]

I have no idea why they made it so that any action does it, including healing and the such.

[Ratatapa]

No discrimination everything is the same!

A guy was raging at all SCHs to put their fairies away in one run. But the fairy won't heal them if they're full HP. That he did not grasp

[Garaku]

0/36 in AV. Seriously, fuck this place. Finished the other quests ages ago. Q_Q

[vrumpt]

yo listen every time someone says chains takes 8 ppl i burst a blood vessel. like fuck i realize it's a mnemonic or w/e but come the fuck on you couldn't say "cerberus" rather than the one mechanic that literally does not require 8 people. i can understand delegating 8 people to wolfsbane or even a set "eight" for the stomach but jesus fuck those reddit trash who repeat "c chains" THERE ARE TWO CHAINS. TWO. MIGHT AS WELL CALL THAT SHIT TITY BOI C'MON. FUCK YOU. FUCKING EIGHT PEOPLE FOR CHAINS NO.

^^

I got called a troll last time I was in WoD trying to push away the ABC garbage. Fucking horrible ass shitty nub scrub titty sucking retards can't fucking be damned to think why 8 people for 2 chains THAT I CAN FUCKING GRAB AFTER I GET OUT OF THE BELLY WHILE IN PARTY A CUZ I'M A REBEL is the stupidest shit ever conceived.

And why the fuck don't we have some goddamn tokens for raid loot. Token of the stalwart defender, token of the graceful healer, token of the fierce attacker, token of the mighty magician. Per slot.

There SE I fixed your loot system. Check please.

I think someone told me that Primal Data center only does the ABC thing. Not sure.

Also the Token system is so simple its not even funny. Don't know why Yoshi hasn't done this yet.
