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

SE implements instances in the Churning Mists. Doesn't implement a way to pick which instance to join. Party member is forced to try and Kirin portal his way to our party.

Pretty sure they posted that you can choose when you walk in zone by foot or mount, not teleport

Where the hell do you upgrade Law gear?

[Marcicus]

healers that have well over 9k mp in these dungeons, never even drop to remotely half of that, yet refuse to dps. for fuck sake pop a clerics or something and do something other than afk half the run.

Hush don't you know that healer dps is sacrilege

It doesn't work for Churning Mists which is why I mentioned it.

Across the summoning bell, there is an Au Ra NPC in Idyllshire

yup it doesn't work for this area. earlier i kept teleporting with no luck

[Ratatapa]

I don't know if i'm just lucky, but if my PT is already exemple in instance 1, I almost always gets teleported to 1.

If i'm alone then it's RNG

Am I clear to complain about how shitty the CE came out?
My statue doesn't even fit on the stand.

I really wanna return this.

I know this pain, I had to order my sister and her bf the basic edition of the game, they got heavensward gaming mats

More importantly, since most people are still in the gearing up stage, I notice healers will often actually have quite a bit of difficulty keeping up with incoming damage (I leveled WAR first) yet even as I'm taking tons of damage and sometimes dropping to critical levels of HP most of them just perpetually spam Physick/Cure and sit at 80%+ MP as I'm getting way too close to dying wondering if they expect me to magically use every CD all at once on every pull.

As a scholar I don't really have any issues with MP or healing Quests give you HQ gear anyway, no excuse not having geared up.

On leveling stage MP was not an issue, but it becomes one when you hit 60 and start doing 60 dungeons.

I spent my evening leveling Arcanist to 15 so I could unlock Black Mage. According to a quick google search of "why the fuck can't I unlock black mage", it appears I am not the first person who made this error.

[brozy]

These.Fucking.Moogle.Quests.....shit seems to be bloody endless.

[Buffy]

Preach. I finally cleared that zone and fucking cheered irl

[Arthars]

bored and nothing to do while waiting hunts, decide to tune in to mr happy channel

he been saying how ravana is the hardest primal, and it makes his head go bonkers doing it etc etc etc telling viewers 1 mil times how challenging it is etc etc

and then i did it today with pug, "cleared focus pt" and killed in 5 attempts

i know i know, i should not have gone his channel but seriously how the fuck is he getting so much viewers with always shitty infos?!?!?!?!

also question asked on his channel is near OF mode... fucking wanna kill myself

^ A lot of people still don't have basic pattern recognition. It's all just random attacks to them. Sometimes even 2 hours of doing the same thing, watching the same things, a person doesn't realize that things are happening.

It's like back in turn 5. Wipe for 3 hours to twisters. "Wait, twister has a cast bar?"

Not sure wtf your healers are doing. I'm almost always under 30% MP at the end of each pull. These pulls take three times as long to clear as old dungeons, and I'm finding a lot of tanks aren't cycling their cooldowns, which means I end up spamming adlo/physick harder while the shit's at 25-50% HP still, unable to contribute more DPS as a result.

Especially if the tank is being a dick and pulls two mob groups at i150ish which guarantees no DPS time for me due to the incoming damage, especially the mobs like in Vault that spam AoEs.

Pull occurs -> Rouse-Dawn + Adlo -> Clerics -> Pray I can get Shadow Flare + 3DoTs off before dropping Clerics and hitting Lustrate 1-2 times.

[Eidle]

yea i dunno why tanks are going into these new dungeons with SR mentality already. Did a sohm al, and the tank kept doing 2 groups at a time, i was on my smn and the other dps was a smn, the pulls took FOREVER. i think the other smn was kinda garbage though, rarely did i see a mob fully dotted and she was spamming a lot of ruin 2.

This is all due to the extremely wide range of gear quality people are going to have as they progress thru the new levels (and ilvls once 60).

Not everyone cares to upgrade every piece every few levels (I sure as fuck didn't).
