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

[Sephiroth]

What's up with friend requests from gil sellers? I click decline but the request doesn't disappear.

[octopus]

When you decline it, your friend list should appear. You'll have to right click on the name again and select decline.

(Why you have to do it twice I have no idea...)

Yeah its annoying as fuck. I just leave the request up. Sometimes they disappear.

Ah right, that worked. That is bad UI design. I guess I'm lucky that such requests only come around once a month

[Buffy]

They send the friend request because you can't blist them until the friend request is canceled I think. So they send it so the /tell gets through. What they don't know is that guild work owns them and I never see the tell so all I get is the friend request.

[Lokus]

The friend requests I get have the site in the name or are named Sellgil Buygil or something similar. I've noticed that it's still mainly one site that advertises.

[Ratatapa]

They also send you a mail if you accept their Friend request

In my experience, they don't actually send a tell after the request. The friend request is so they can spam to your mog mail...forever.

I don't know when this started happening again. It was a hell of a bother until 2.2'ish, and then has been fine since until around 2.55.

Is the fucking worst when it happens on Transpose.

[Niiro]

With Transpose it's probably just registering the action in between AF/UI refreshes because they happen at the end of the animation (or slightly after the animation even).

ie. Swiftcast -> Flare -> Transpose (before Flare animation has completed entirely) -> Flare animation completes and you get AFIII

[Lokus]

I thought it was just me when I've had the game just eat my aetherflow a couple times the past week. No MP, no stacks, and placed on cooldown. Wonderful game.

[Kaisha]

Also that old bug that re-surged where instant-use skills won't go off on moving targets because LoS issue on a skill that's supposed to be instant.

Why does /autotarget have such a problem keeping track of a nearby target anyways?

[Korialstrasz]

I'd like to lodge a formal complaint against SE for raining high ilvl gear upon people like the i130 DEX ring DRG I just had to do WoD with who did nothing but 123 combo and fracture the entire run.

[Arthars]

still no poetics unlock?

fuck this shit...

[Ratatapa]

nah instants always had "that bug" where you can be interrupted using an "instant" or it doesn't do instantly what its supposed to do even if the graphic goes off... I see it all the time with lustrate and its annoying ;/

Guy pulls mass of mobs -> goes around corner, your lustrate casts, uses proc, but didn't even heal the target, or you see the animation cast on someone and they die anyway when in range... OR even...! In a dungeon que -> change job -> accept que -> use aetherflow soon as everyone accepts to enter the instance, you get the cooldown BUT you don't get the 3 stacks of aetherflow (kind of annoying) >.>

[Lokus]

Full premade still subject to ilvl requirements to queue. Really annoying this shit is still a thing.

[Yuri-G]

I capped poetics for the first time this week. then I was like "phew, an excuse to stop grinding."

then I unlocked the hard primals, binding coil, relic zenith, finished WoD on SCH, and did a few Syrcus runs on SMN.

I hate myself.
