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

[Niiro]

They are (or rather they can be, c'est la RNG).

[Sephiroth]

I don't mind a bit RNG, getting a card on the first attempt wouldn't be good either. But SE love to ruin shit with 1% or less RNG.

[Niiro]

I haven't done that much card gathering but other NPCs do seem a bit more willing to give up their cards, Baha may just have an abysmally low drop rate because the King was meant to be accessible to beat by everyone (since you can beat him with just the starter cards).

[Kiarax]

Trial drops ain't much better either. I don't know if I'll ever be able to run/stomach enough Gilgamesh 2 fights to ever get Bartz myself. Even with 6 DPS the fight takes way too fucking long.

Took me two hours of Shiva Ex to get a card, jfc

Ultima caps out at 10 bits.

6-10 minute "Reserving Instance" waits last night trying to farm lights. Managed to only do one and a half mahatma because of it. 9 to go...

HM mog was pretty much instant pop/load last night for me, if a trial takes too long to load you may want to pick another one

Mog was fine for me, but after 8pm EST everything was congested everywhere.

I passed the time with Youtube, but I wanted to sink my teeth into the grind a bit.

The group I was in on Tuesday pretty much farmed Titan EX all day - we didn't have any queue times with that one. It was a 3min fight for Gentle light, so it was pretty good.

[Taint]

I could never go back to bard, would rather learn to beat fights without one.

Our static BRD was Mia this week and we did FCoB without one. (PLD,WAR,WHM,SCH,MNK,DRG,BLMx2) Was a fun change, ofcourse we are well over geared but still a different ball game with no TP regen or Ballad.

Needed more lasers.

What the absolute fuck is the drop rate on the Gaius card. Fucking hell I've gotten over 14k MGP with this guy, gotten over 50 of his other cards, and no Gaius yet.

Edit: RRHRLGHLGHRLBRLHLHR 20k

Edit: I give up. 6 hours or so battling the Dude who drops Gaius card and I didn't get his card... But i ended up with over 150 victories and 90+ of his other cards... then spent 24k~ or so MGP on Gold Cards and didn't get a single one of value from all of them. Weighted RNG bullshit is pissing me off so hard right now.

Just going to go to bed and try to sleep it off... I want to shoot things ._.

[Edelweiss]

..Did they fuck up the glow on Aegicalibur?

It's yellowish out in the world, but pure white in the dye/gear preview. What the fuck.

[Arthars]

2 Zeta, many extreme battles, at least 30+ horses

why the fuck did i pay 3M for my garuda/ifrit/shiva horse for?

When it happens put westwind cape on pf. It's'a 30 sec fight so you should have 1 mahatma done in 40 mins.

In on the same boat, starting to doubt he even gives it to be honest.
