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

[Niiro]

I couldn't justify bad players in any context.

Cept if you wanna make a fight harder I guess >_>

[kisada]

oh god i hate ramuh so much.

funny story: at fanfest we rolled ramuh ex with no chest piece. but it was kind of a fail roll (barely spun the wheel) so we begged the guy to let us re-roll and we got ramuh again.

except it was i90 ramuh ex

LOL

at fanfest i rolled i100 garuda-ex and we got 3 stacks of echo and still didn't win because i ended up w/ 2-3 people who had either never played the game before or weren't lv50 in my group

garuda-ex, arguably the easiest fucking extreme primal, triggers me so hard nowadays

[garudyne]

At Fanfest we originally got the i90 IEX with Yoshi-P and that was a bit sad since it was closeish for a few tries but no win. Day after, we got GEX no handicap, which was nice.

So many people in line that ended up with REX had people who had never even done the fight before...

[Qeomash]

Honestly, I hate single tank Ramuh Ex. Sure, means basically everyone can just derp and not pay attention. But there is essentially zero chance of recovery if something goes wrong. Just get smart people and go with them.

(I know that's impossible. Glad I have Kirin already.)

Expert roulette as tank:

1) Wipe to demon wall DPS check once; have to BLM LB the second time to barely get through
2) Wipe to Jester boss because couldn't kill 2nd Kumkum and then wipe again for same reason. Third time, I HG the Wild Card and survive with the BLM (manaward/wall I guess) and we barely kill it. Basically had to ride self-cast stoneskin to mitigate the Jongleur X or w/e move.

I really need to learn to bail as soon as I see a DPS with a 3/low 4-handle for HP.

[Greedouw]

I know I have two months to finish my Zodiac, but I ran well over 15 halatali/Lost City last night and didn't seen one goddamn drop

Whats the drop % again? .5?

[Buffy]

Most people seem to think the drop rate is between 5-10%. Personally I experienced a 20% drop rate on my 16 dungeons. I had like 4 1/1 and only one hit double digits, a 1/22 WP.

[Raldo]

After having done 3 Zodiacs, my numbers were roughly (I do have them written down, but not with me) 16/85, 16/95, 16/75. I assumed a ~20% drop rate from my results.

[Nitsuki]

Came back to the game after 4 months. Started zodiac quest, fuck aurum vale and these assholes who want to only run for exp, then proceed to kick you if you're in it for zodiac. Why the fuck are you DFing w/ 3 people premade only to make the person running for zodiac feel like a fucking victim? Fucking SE making you run low lvl dungeons

[Gustave]

Personally it took me between 350-400 dungeons to finish. I lost count but it could have been more. I had barely finished doing every dungeons once, and only a few dungeons multiple times. When I finished I was right at 700 dungeons on the achievement list. About half was a through I didn't expect to see a drop until around 30 runs per dungeon.

I really don't understand why people don't vote kick people who make the run impossible.

[Joyo]

I really don't understand why people don't vote kick people who make the run impossible.

There is actually people who defend those shitty players.
I had a Pharos Siruius run once with a BRD who basically did 0 DPS. ilvl40ish weapon with left side STR gear and right side INT/MND gear. Also did Paeon at the start of the battle.
My vote kick was on cd so i called him out on his shitty gear hoping someone else would kick him and then got bitched at by the PLD because "everything is fine we did not wipe".

[Twilight Sky]

One thing I noticed on the Lodestone - some people got stalkers. Ok not much of a complaint, but it's creepy.

[JigglyJam]

Labyrinth of the Ancients, me and other tank drop defiance and put on strength gear because the other tanks were better geared and held hate on everything on the first few packs of trash.
One of the healers gets uppity and starts complaining. "I don't heal STR tanks", that kind of shit. So the other tank responds back with some logic and they exchange some words.

So after bone dragon I vote kick the healer just because. Motion fails and then the other tank gets kicked, lol. Healer must've been in a pre-made cause he said other tank tried to vote kick him. Ahh, fun times.

[Kaisha]

God forbid you spec STR on content you're 70 iLvls over and are not tanking on anyways.


And I'm just going to complain about shit DPS in general. Can YoshiP get off his high horse and implement an official parsing solution already so players can see just how badly they're performing? The complete lack of teaching/measuring tools is one of this game's fault if they're going to continue mandating ACC and DPS checks in the end game.

This would offend the "just a game lol go get a life" crowd. DPS is the place they can hide precisely because there is no feedback on your performance.

[Zumi]

Had a DRG in AK HM who only used Chaos Thrust. He literally pressed 1 button the entire time. A guy in my FC that I queued with kicked him after the 2nd boss died.

Do it subliminally then.
