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

[Dammerung]

Why don't tanks want to fucking pull in any 24man. Then they get mad when I pull.

Is most of the alliance in the room and will stragglers who aren't afk make it within 15 seconds? Yes? Pull the fucking boss.

[Niiro]

I decided I finally had the patience to wait for tank queues for WoD tonight (the times weren't that bad).

Now I'm even more irritated by tanks that stand around staring at the floor, there's literally -nothing- special for the MT to do in any of the fights except the dragon.

It's so fucking easy and mindless idk wtf they're all scared of.

Ahriman -> Nothing tank specific, Mortal Gaze and Double Vision as normal
Dragon -> Don't get hit by White Breath
Cerb -> Nothing tank specific, just have to reposition him decently cause he moves a lot, for advanced mode tank him sideways so the rear cleave is less likely to hit people
Cloud -> Nothing special the MT has to do, she literally uses one attack the entire fight

I hate darkhold...with a passion. 0/15 now and so sick of how boring it is...and long.

SE's plan is to add a throwback outfit to an iconic FF character, creating a unique new outfit in a style there isn't much of in the game and giving people a fun new glamour option.

Unless you're female, in which case you get to look like a Playboy bunny.

Stay classy, SE.

[Rocl]

fuck women

[Niiro]

Hey.

They get to wear tuxedos but I can't wear a wedding dress.

[Narol]

fuck women

Something I do, yes.

Even if I can't wear a long coat while doing it.

Unless you're female, in which case you get to look like a Playboy bunny.

I'm somewhat hoping SE's done with gender-specific gear, because I want to make one hell of a terrible glamor using that bunny gear on my mancat for DRG.

[Narol]

Nope.

Iconic FF6 character for the men.

Generic fanservice tripe for the women.

Just like god intended.

[Kaisha]

Never going to get my Frank n Furter on.

Couldn't even give the men the fishnets on Evenstar set.

Come again?

Males getting a Setzer outfit, supposedly from Gold Saucer.

Now give me a Gambler glass as a DPS and I'll be in friggin heaven.

[Narol]

Males getting a Setzer outfit, supposedly from Gold Saucer.

Whereas female characters get a generic Playboy Bunny type outfit.

Like if it was some kind of fanservicey Tifa outfit or something, that'd be one thing, but "one gender gets an FF character, another gets yet more fanservicey crap" pisses me off on a conceptual level.

[Corrderio]

Yeah, it does seem retarded considering females can wear the wedding tux/cloud strife uniform.

[Narol]

In a properly designed system, male characters could wear shit like the bridesmaid outfit or bunny outfit too.

[Corrderio]

That would be creepy, but hilarious.

[Niiro]

Do we even know that female characters can't wear the Setzer outfit or are people just assuming....

Something about this

http://ff14net.2chblog.jp/archives/43384488.html

Light translation since I only skimmed through the page. My Japanese isn't perfect either, feel free to correct me.
Rewards given to the player via Alexander Raid is different to the current system in Binding Coil.
3.0 will introduce new frontline rules and have a new map.
Setzer set from the Golden Saucer is male exclusive.
3.0 teaser site will get an update or something soon.
More Retainers to be added (?)
The Battle for Ishgard is different to something called "Hamlet Defense" (I'm not a 1.0 player, sorry).
Note: These translations are from comment 690 based on two twitter posts, so it may not be 100% legit.

Need Slycer signal

[Niiro]

If that's a correct translation I'd actually be quite surprised.

It would be the first truly male exclusive gear (all "male only" gear in the game atm has a female equivalent).
