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

[Yuri-G]

Ah right, I forgot there was a timers menu. I even knew that. Thanks!

[vrumpt]

Challenge log is such a useful feature it really shouldn't be part of a quest to unlock. Really any feature that is just a UI should be available right at the start. I'm surprised they didn't give us a quest to unlock PF.

[Niiro]

Also, god damnit my DoTs are worthless in fates when burst DPS keeps killin' my mobs. Fuckin' eh! Or do I get full credit for casting even if the mob dies before the DoT runs out... has anyone tested this?

FATE credit, hunt credit, and simple mob kill credit are all based on enmity generated.

1 point of damage = 1 enmity, 1 point of healing = 0.5 enmity, this includes DoTs and HoTs every time they tic.

Assuming you're playing on ACN/SMN/SCH (based on the DoT comment), for maximum FATE credit with multiple enemies that are dying relatively quickly just throw out Bio on every available target (your highest DPS DoT).

If you're worried about getting kill credit and exp from individual mobs then all I can say is drop Bio and then Ruin spam, if they're really dropping like flies just Ruin, but ultimately exp from individual FATE mobs is pretty inconsequential.

[Yuri-G]

ahhh that makes sense, thank you. I usually get full credit; I'm betting that has a lot to do with topaz carby.

if there's time I like to DoT everything but if it's a killfest I just tag every mob I can with ruin. either way it seems to work out.

really, maxing credit in FATEs isn't hard. I'm just curious as to how it all works internally.

the doldrums between content patches always hits me hard. i know it's coming but i always forget how bad it really is and it makes me sad.

come on 2.51; make yourself the first welfare patch worth playing

Blame the development team for thinking we need this long between Zodiac installments. Blame them for thinking their usual three dungeons + special snowflake Coil/Tower installment every alternating major patch was enough.

Blame them for probably not learning anything about making this more than a one night a week game by Heavensward..

I mean they couldn't even get the snowboarding game in Gold Saucer at launch; how do you drop the ball like that? As always: please look forward to it.

How much do I have to donate for this to be the next Random Complaint thread title?

When is the update anyway? From how people were speaking in FC at the weekend I thought it would be today but guessing it isn't.

next tues

[Raldo]

First time in a very long time that I've gone a week without capping tomes...

uh oh... uh oh, I'm becoming a casual.

Typically no real reason to cap tomes after progression/main job is done. I always slack after that.

[Kaixin]

Highly reconsidering subbing to snag a bunny outfit and for a chance to go on a Gold Saucer date with Best NPC Y'shtola, only to somehow get Yuffie. God damnit, Yuffie!

[Eludi]

I pretty much only cap from coil + random sells + trials roulette ( well I don't cap but, ill get around 250 every week)

[Xerlic]

This. I capped tomes for the first time in over a month this past reset only because of pony spam.

[kisada]

i cap from FL anyway but i don't think i'd give a shit at this point once i got all my main's gear.

[Niiro]

Speaking of FL: why the fuck is the roulette bonus for FL tomes and not PvP exp and/or marks?

Fucking everything shits soldiery and poetics are not at all hard to cap for anyone that cares to.

[ronin sparthos]

Hunts are the cunts.
Many cunts do hunts.

[Greedouw]

I swear to god, if twines are not added to WOD/Weekly quest in 2.51... FUCK

Hunts are for cunts, for realz

[Edelweiss]

IIRC, the next thing they intended to add is fucking Encrypted Tomestones, per one of those interviews. No mention of adding twines.

[Niiro]

If you're missing hunts still at this point with GW running either your server is absurdly bad with early pulls or you're absurdly slow.

Hunts have calmed down so much that I can get to almost all As with full credit just by porting and shouting.

Ss are even easier to catch because they take so much longer to die.
