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

[nokonoko]

Random complaint: Losing friends who quit to play WoW Draenor -- feels awful

[Niiro]

The actual glitch was not receiving the penalty when you were the first person to leave a new duty just because you had the join in-progress box checked. This went on for a good few months somewhere around 2.1 2.2ish time.

Nobody is penalised for dropping after the first guy, which is normal.
What shouldn't have happened was that tank returning to the duty for the first time.

I thought the glitch had to do with leaving before the starting ring disappeared.

Can't win a Wind-up Ultros to save my life because I keep losing rolls to guys like this:

Was farming T4 with friends when we came upon a tank botting with 2 bards.
Was wondering why the hell everything was taking so long to kill, then noticed the bards did nothing but spam knock during bugs/workers/spinners, and used identical rotations on dreads. Gladly it was towards the end of our run and we only ran into them thrice.

Here I present the finest from Chocobo.

Quick google brought up a list of their names from 2ch. Looks like the entire FC is a bunch of botters.

[Cutriss]

This is exactly why you get the dots off ASAP. You can't always stop the screw, and the dot's enough to kill if your hot isn't manly enough to counteract it.

I don't think I ever said not to get the dots off ASAP. I just said that it didn't seem that hard to keep it off the tank, and the other guys aren't going to get screwed if the tank isn't trying to do some dumb shit "screw rotation", so you can get the other guys "whenever".

Anyway I'm basically not playing until the lag gets fixed, so I guess I'll see you guys in 2017.

Someone's optimistic.

[Obsidian]

Whatever they did last night to fix the servers seems to have broken the anti-Fishbot thing. Fished during Gloom in the Tangle, went AFK until next Gloom, then came back and couldn't fish anywhere in the Tangle where it used to only require moving like five steps.

rest in fucking peace turn 7 LOL

[Kaisha]

Turn 6 & 7 nerfed the fuck out.

Spoiler: show

I could have used more cleaner fine tuning of phase transitions like FCOB employs, but I guess this is a quicker fix

[Rocl]

Pour one out for second coil it's dead as fuck

Already did man. I'm laughing that they did not touch a single thing for T9 besides echo. Have to leave some barrier to entry for FCoB I guess.

Full echo when? I still need some HA shit for my alt classes for ACC purposes.

[Lokus]

The bright side, it'll be less of a headache to farm but they really nerfed the fuck out of t6 and 7. So dumb.

[kisada]

why's it dumb? with their fucked up insistence on not using a token system there's no way i'm gonna pug t7 when one random mistake or weird phase timing will screw everything up and i probably won't get the items i want without repeat spam. with these changes i might actually half consider it now. i've spent months doing this shit already, and i deserve an ez-mode so i can just not give a shit about old content when i'm already busy with all the new stuff.

ain't nobody got time for dat.

[Neon_Sea]

Yeah dude, Im all for these changes. Tried farming t7 the other day and it was a nightmare, even though everyone had beaten it before. It wasn't even really bad players just a bunch of woops situations.

[Lucavi]

I kinda agree, so long as they don't have a token system in. Its bad enough losing minions to bads in HM dungeons and Ultros; having shitty T7 runs with bads that wipe and still having a very, VERY low chance of getting -anything-, much less what you want, is the pits.

[Arthars]

idk what nerfs you guys are talking about

all of those stuffs were never hitting us before, and will not after patch, anyway.....

if you guys are hurt because newbies get free handouts, then seriously.... it doesnt matter yo

but now we get noobs for final coil NOW THATS FUCKED UP SE! XD

this makes farming easier for us, if for some god unknown reason you guys are still farming for them instead of buying crafted 110s......

[Rocl]

I don't understand how you can say what nerf and then bemoan the bads getting to final coil.

The changes to second coil are far more drastic than the ones applied to the binding coil and I was still sad when they let you cure high voltage paralysis. It's just something of a nostalgia factor. How many weeks did you hear people's horror stories of turn7? I mean shit persisted until today and now it'll never happen again.

It's the end of an era of the game. Good night sweet Darnus may people continue to try to dodge dynamo in heaven

[Rocl]

That said I understand why it has to happen and that's the nature of the game I'm playing. I will still shed a single villainous tear that some men will never have someone purposefully wipe their t7 by stoning the tank for a paltry sum of 100k Gil and some giggles

[Arthars]

the nerf doesnt affect us, infact make it easier for peeps who still farm them for unknown reasons

that noob entering final coil thingy was a sarcasm, the blockage will still be at turn 4 anyway, just like twintania, for those who still cant raid for fuck

i mean 1-2 months down the read, who the fuck still remember how melusine looks like......

first coil's turn 4 is a spiritbonding/desynth/nexus light happy land. prolly the only exception

but yea, i feel the same on "people will never understand the real T7 pain" but oh well......

in the future, final coil will be nerfed to hell as well, like maximum 1 bennu spawn. just dont get too attached from now XD

modern MMOs, feeding kids since 2012(or earlier?)

[Kaisha]

That said I understand why it has to happen and that's the nature of the game I'm playing.

Meh, it could have just been a new difficulty tier. Make original version give a token system in its place or something while new easy-mode has random drops. WoW has what, four difficulties per raid nowadays?

Our BRD's still lacking the fucking T8 aiming ring because of chest RNG.
