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

[Fiye]

More than likely they POS hacked under the map or something.

Complaint: REALLY don't like how EVERYTHING chat wise is disabled in DF except party chat/fc, etc. Tells, friendlist, all that is disabled.

I find it funny that you can't blacklist somebody while in an instance, but if they are already blacklisted when you enter you won't see them talking. You of course can't remove them once inside since everything else is disabled.

You can't send messages on lodestone and the forums either. I think yoshida isn't social himself lol.

Damn phone..

Yeah I really wish we could. I have run into some old FFXI friends during DF and have no way of contacting them. I can follow them on lodestone but that's it.

If they don't add King Mog card to an NPC I don't think I'll ever get it.

[Seravi Edalborez]

Don't worry. They'll add a moogle pony so people have a reason to farm it. Or people will want their vanity kupo gun.

[Skai]

Bruh, if there's a gun with a moogle motif that goes kupo every shot, give it to me now.

[Ratatapa]

I mean HM can also drop cards? HE can just go when people do Moogle HM for light farm

[Skai]

HM can drop the card for sure. Got one during light grinding.

[Korialstrasz]

Not that we're all not completely used to stuff like this by now but:

[Pooke]

Since when did Moogle (hard) become the hardest primal fight? Holy shit...still farming for this card and damn near every new group wipes at least once.

[Kaisha]

We talking people dying to AoEs, or overgeared casual DPS tunnelvisioning on boss and triggering enrage way too early?

[Pooke]

Lol I wish DF DPS would be decent to have that problem, but it's always aoe. Lately DPS has been so bad several moogles are still alive for the king summoning.

[Seravi Edalborez]

That is impressive. I've had 1 or 2 total vegetable DPS in there and still have never seen all moogles alive for summoning since the release of the fight.

XIV finally has something similar to World of Logs for super detailed, incredibly useful parses to analyze fights and the like, and what is the first thing anyone can think of? "Oh no! Pugs are going to get harassed even more now! This is a bad idea!"

Fuck this fucking community.

[Edelweiss]

Fuck leddit, fucking hugbox community.

Fixed.

Also, this guy might be retarded and not understand anything about XI's Windower:

The fear and "the sky is falling" in the comments is disappointingly comical.

Actually, that's a thing I hate about anti-parser advocates. They feel like DPS is the only reason anyone can kick them, so you gotta obfuscate it. I don't get it. If you're an awful player, you're gonna be kicked for that. Not for your DPS (though that certainly can be a factor). Only people who kick solely for DPS and not mechanics are

A) groups that can afford to be picky (ie, majority of a static/pool of decent players) (and really, even this doesn't happen all the fucking time)
B) midcore players who try to act like what they thing "elitists" are supposed to act like

It's like this game's god-fearing community doesn't have any shred of rational sense. Parsers are bad, healers aren't supposed to DPS, stack more VIT.

/soapbox

e: That said, while individual DPS is cool and all kill time and total raid DPS are much cooler figures.

People who rage quit because they think they're great but they don't understand their own failures. Had an ifrit Ex "farm" yesterday, I came as War. I started. When 3rd stack appeared I was waiting for the PLD to voke and take it from me. Nothing happened. 2 stacks later I'm still waiting. Then I died because healers couldn't keep me alive. I don't blame them though they wanted two tanks for that matter. We wipe and the PLD rage quit without knowing what went wrong.
He probably rage quit because he's pro and it was a farm right?

[Fiye]

People freaking out because they don't plan on trying to continuously get better. They hit just a certain point thats just 'good enough' and coast it out from there but still expect to get through coils.

Also, I'm surprised groups don't just keep all the moogles in the center for phase 2 and just AoE DPS them down. Its super cheesy and easy and by the time they might run off you'll have at least 4 dead. Usually they're all fucking dead and its glorious.

Edit: By the way, your WHM can and should use Stoneskin 2 during the transition. The encounter does end for a brief moment.

Isn't it possible to solo tank Ifrit EX? Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. I only did that fight once and it left a bad taste in my mouth with how bad it went.
