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

[Rocl]

There's been, unfortunately, no indication I can think of that would point toward World Event

copy and pasting from another thread for peeps still complaining about this trail....

like everyone said, all you gotta do is:
1. assign 4 peeps to cannon, the front 2 DPS is incharge of chain + missle
2. when first 2 cannon breaks, the DPS just DPS dragon and do chain + missle after 1st ward
3. tanks and healer always below the dragon's neck so all mobs will auto gather for cannon. DPS always cannon the boss (area is kinda small, just below its "tummy") dont bother cannoning the adds, they should automatically in the boss circle, if not its the tanks healer's fault)
4. tanks "catch" the 2 side adds every spawn because they go for cannon
5. always chain > missle. do not leave cannons unless its destroyed. the large frontal rectangle breathe is gone as soon as chain is applied, so you can missle and cannon all the way
6. ???
7. win wtf this is not even hard, 2 shotted it >.> we killed it before it even reaches the fire barrels

That Triple Triad NPC at camp Tranquil isn't any easier to play since the patch.

I found the fight pretty damn fun. Can't wait to really fight his equivalent later on when we are i170 or whatever and don't have cannons!

On the other hand, seems Tataru got nerfed. Only played her for about 15 minutes this morning, but Random gave me substantially better cards on average. I could swear that Random also adjusted for the Reverse rule.

Holy shit people in fcob pf runs are terrible dps. T10 getting to the very inner circle, haven't seen that in moooooooonths.

[Fiye]

I had a T10 farm where the tank couldn't even hold aggro on his adds. And another where a tank thought it was a GREAT idea to bring adds to center and then bring son to outer to kill.

Fuck I shoulda known the party was bad when I had a tank named 'Inuyasha' and the leader couldn't type worth shit.

That VIT-laden tank scrub life.

[The Stig]

For Steps on Faith, on the last leg of the run, when the Stone Vigil Hard Mode "boss" spawns, ignore him, kill small adds = easy win; rushed the lizard down at 90/100 and win.

There was some dick saying NO GOTTA KILL ALL ADDS prior to that.
If I took his name down I'd create a char on his server and scream at his ass.

If the Transcendent ever targeted you, and it's literally the only add up and you weren't doing dick otherwise/it would make it easier to kite it away, i'd probably just do that too. It's kind of funny seeing it beeline and keep chasing until you're in range for whatever TP move it was going to use. lol

Am I the only one who's bothered by the fact that in the final CS' our characters are portrayed as a complete dipshits with the brains of a crotchfungus? The story and cs' were cool and stuf, but I kinda expected at least couple of dalogue options here and there...

[The Stig]

I think that's standard for games where your char is speechless lol

Zelda and Golden Sun comes to mind

Surely you mean every CS? God forbid the number of times they make my guy either /nod or /panic with zero input on any situation.

It's like the Vaan situation in XII. You're useless, just sitting along for the rollercoaster.

In the last ones it's just really extreme. "Dude, don't trust this obviously evil looking guy"
....not 10 mins later....
"Yo bro, don't worry, just do whatever you were told to do by that obviously evil looking guy!"
"Allright! I see no way how this could ever go wrong."

[Yuri-G]

had a DF last night where I was consistently pulling hate.

on SCH.

from DPSing.

like, from applying DoTs.

sigh.

the tank also applied stoneskin before every fight.

to every party member.

every time.

I began "accidentally" aggroing mobs because I don't have that kinda time to waste.

he also liked to use stoneskin in the middle of fights when it wore off... I don't play PLD but that seems like a suboptimal strategy.

of course, then I kept dying to AoEs on the boss so I can't really talk about fails. I really should stop playing stoned.

[BadKarma]

Levequeust allowances can go fuck themselves

[Kiarax]

Fuck whatever they did to the queue system in this patch. It's fucking impossible to get fast queues now with a medium amount of members. Even queueing for shit like primals as 2 tanks 2 heals takes a fucking eternity for no God damn reason. Last night we queued as a group of 7 for Shiva Extreme (during NA prime time) and it couldn't find a single DPS in over 10 minutes. We can easily 7 man this shit (and ended up just grabbing a fucking rando in PF that had never cleared and died constantly, just so we could actually fucking enter) but SE won't just let us do that so we have to sit on our thumbs for 15 minutes just to get in. Patch notes just has some uninformative bullshit about what they changed but all I know is I fucking hate it.

Valid complaint, but I can't fault the DPS here. Solo queueing for an EX primal is generally a recipe for a bad time. I can count the number of times I've done that on zero hands.

[Kiarax]

It's always been instant (or damn near close to it) in the past. They changed some algorithm in this patch:

In preparation for the upcoming expansion, the player-matching algorithms for the Duty Finder have been adjusted.

And its giving us bullshit queue times for literally everything. We just did a Chimera and Hydra with 2 tanks 2 heals and varying amounts of DPS and it was taking an eternity for it to pop too, which is something frequently queued and in trial roulette to boot. At first I figured it was just coincidence but its been happening consistently with everything (that pre-patch would be instant pretty much every time) since so I am just gonna blame whatever this new bullshit is.

[Hiryo]

Should have just said

In prepartion for the upcoming expansion, you can no longer queue for anything released prior to 2.4.
