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

[Jem]

My rule of thumb is no dreadwyrm on their characters class they're instantly a scrub and automatically assumed they're shit at whatever they attempt to do.

I like the no Dreadwyrm rule and then I realise that all of my Dreadwyrm pieces are glamored out (although 130 bow is visible)

You can examine people and it tells you what they're wearing (and what it's glamoured to)?

[Niiro]

It's a decent rule but does not account for just how fucking awful the RNG in this game can be.

My i123 BRD alt:

0 coil drops, can do T13 in my sleep (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

(do use tomestone bow tho, so that's kind of proof of coil I guess)

Final coil of striking would like to have a word with you. I don't think my static's brd has a usable piece yet. Only time something dropped it was not best in slot.

final coil of striking boots. and belt. over and over and over

Now if only we could change the font size of the name labels so we can keep titles on display without them doubling the height of the label.

Gotta pimp that Final Witness.

[Niiro]

I don't even display other people's names (unless they're in PT or on my Flist) much less have titles visible....

It does but I can count on zero hands how many times I have examined somebody else for that purpose which I'm pretty sure will be the case for a lot of people.

Although I generally don't care what people wear because I won't do anything worth a damn with people I don't know unless I'm stupidly bored.

0/55 AV, time to push for 60 tonight!

I feel like I have to shoot you out of your misery.

My current setup is initials for everything besides party list. If I could adjust font size I'd have full names on everyone, but folks out of PT 4pt smaller then whatever I'd have for my PT. Names tend to get in the way of visibility for the markers/mechanics otherwise.

Not to mention we're still lacking commands for changing various System/Graphical settings so I could make a toggle macro for title display as well. We haven't had much in the way of a QoL update in forever (aside from no CDs in sanctuaries in 2.5). Kinda hoping the expansion fills some demands.

My rule of thumb is no dreadwyrm on their characters class they're instantly a scrub and automatically assumed they're shit at whatever they attempt to do.

What about people like myself who don't care to bother with the final coil crap? I am no scrub, I just have no interest in that content >.>

[Niiro]

Generally the way to display non-scrubness is to complete difficult content.

If you're not doing coil, what difficult content are you completing <_>

[Rocl]

hunts prob

[Kiarax]

If you ain't soloing Sabo you ain't shit.

[Detzu]

final coil of striking boots. and belt. over and over and over

Give me those damn boots already.

You're only missing awesome cutscenes and themes (T12 and 13) + tons of fun with teamates. If you have a savage mode title I consider you're good enough.

[Ratatapa]

How I go is no dreadwyrm on their characters class they're instantly a scrub and automatically assumed they're shit at whatever they attempt to do.

What about the pld tank with dreadwyrm sword that lost hate on garuda ex or got pushed more then once off the field by the sumo push on Titan ex or even falling off by running.

Edit : to add something to my point

>_> Same thing applies? Just not right off the bat I'm going to assume said person is a piece of shit player if they have anything that resembles they might have a shroud of knowledge of any content they're about to enter. You being on Hyperion I can think of one person that kinda fits that description that is running around like that on there haha.

So if no dreadwyrm gear = automatic scrub
Dreadwyrm gear = maybe scrub ?


Man poor people who started the game not long ago or those who doesn't have time to coil, but are actually good players
