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

[Edelweiss]

Another week, another round of worthless Dreadwyrm gear to fill our inventories.

[Grey Jorildyn]

Word. We got one "useful" piece and nothing for anyone's mains this week.

We've essentially gotten at least two of every shit Dreadwyrm piece, and barely anything BiS. I wouldn't even glamour this shit either, it's fucking hideous.

I don't even bother counting the weapons now, since you should probably have a Zodiac anyway.. not that we got any weapons we could really use besides two people.

[Deathbringer]

So....I just got kicked from WoD for no reason....wat??

[Niiro]

What job and before what boss were you kicked.

(figure it out)

nin and before cerberus :/

[Niiro]

Partial pre-made and someone probably wanted the body?

Were there any other NINs?

I've had that happen to me on BRD before 5-headed dragon during the first week of WoD because of the body piece, I wouldn't generally expect it for NIN tho, just not nearly as popular of a job and the body piece isn't particularly special.

[Deathbringer]

1) maybe
2) 3 mnks and a brd and I was going for caster gear/card while doing zeta lights :/

[The Stig]

Talking about WoD:

I'm on DRG
Cloud has 10 stacks, a wipe really. (his second turn and we were partially wiped from fail meteor)
Someone screams for tank LB3
One alliance actually did, and lived. Everyone else died.
Fight moves on a bit; someone res's me (lol)
So I'm up, no other healers in my team were. At this point it used that move where it creates that enclosed area with a beam coming down where each alliance needs to be in their own box.
As we were all scattered, 2 odd people were inside the box. At this point, 100% wipe really/
For lulz I Final Heaven the thing and break free, but the damage from the other 2 kill us anyway

Healer in my team RAGES hard, for 2 lines, about why I used final heaven. Before I had a chance to reply, Vote Abandon went through

Minor complaint but why does the game launcher make me login to tell me its in maintenance? Surely it could just tell me that instead of displaying the login form.

And the log in button won't become clickable when it's over either, forcing you to log out and back in again. These days I just pop open www.arrstatus.com and wait for the green light before even bothering with the launcher.

Just click anything on the launcher that changes the 'page' for the launcher (like Config/World) and it'll force it to refresh the page with the log-in button.

But yeah, the XIV launcher is ass backwards compared to every other MMO. Can't even update your client without logging in, which requires an active sub. Returning for the free weekend? Fuck you, can't update until that weekend is live.

had some asshole drg in WoD, 3 pieces of dreadwyrm thinking he was the hottest shit ever. complained the whole time about carrying the alliances in /a, talking shit about everyones gear that wasn't dreadwyrm, trying to vote kick said people from party for harassment. then at the end says "YOURE WELCOME" thats when i just went off on him to stfu and stop being an asshole. he was parsing like 450 dps with his diamond spear, which doesnt seem that impressive, what an douche.

[Jem]

If he's using a Diamond Spear with Dreadwyrm gear then his Dreadwyrm gear isn't remotely impressive (not that it is anyway). I mean you can get a 120 weapon from T11 and it no longer needs T12 clear to 130 it. So grats on his T10 clears?

Most people that clear FCoB are pretty chill in CT,ST,WoD.....we all know what we are getting ourselves into lol.

The dickheads are normally the ones that got carried, got a piece of DW and won't shut up about it.

Totally agreeing to this. Beside 1 or 2 fc members that play only one job we generally go and chill / having fun there while being respectful and patient. So we generally go with our 3rd or 4th job only to have a chance for loot. Then you have some carried idiot that talk about FCoB gears as if it matters in WoD.
Generally, people who worked their way to a clear know what it takes in terms of teamwork.

There's a lot of motherfuckers like this, and I wonder why their statics haven't fucking kicked them, if only for the shame of being associated with them.

Usually catpeople too. Worst race, etc.

[Soul Side]

So I haven't played much in a couple months and I've been logging in the past few days. This game seriously got out of control with grind creep. They keep nerfing bonuses and ways to get the latest tomes. They heavily nerfed hunt reward prices. It takes 100 wins against Elmer just to get enough tokens to unlock a new hairstyle. Not to mention the whole Zodiac questline takes months of grinding.

With how many different things they've added, and making those things take longer and longer, the grind in this game grows exponentially. I guess it took a while of not playing to realize. The game and it's mechanics are fun as fuck, but I dunno if I'll ever come back full force now. :/

[Sephiroth]

Yeah I'm starting to question whether I have the time for this game now. It's fun but it's too grindy for my liking when I just want to get things done and play another game or do something in RL. I haven't played TT in 3 days because the grind to 60 cards is becoming unreal and I don't have that kind of time to waste. I haven't even had time to try chocobo racing as a resul and I hear that grind is retarded too. Gold saucer is a disappointment for me.

You may be on to something.
