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

[Kaisha]

quite possibly the worst feeling in the fucking world atm

If they doubled the seals you get from doing the 1/2/3* daily I'd be less miffed since it'd equate to one upgrade every other day, and then doing the odd callout.


Also another complaint: Server verifying shit with the UI interupts any left/right-click you have in action. Annoying when trying to mass-sell stuff on the MB. New quirk since 3.0.

[Rehn]

I thought I was goin nuts since I used to right click mass sell junk all the time. Whatever the new deal is, I hope it gets fixed/looked at.

[Niiro]

They really need to add quantity selection to non-gil vendors.

Having to burn thru 50,000 seals 200 at a time is retarded.

Same for reorganizing retainer inventories... Half of my clicks don't register

Good to know it's an univeral problem, I thought something was wrong with my mouse lol

I'm glad you guys brought this up, I was also having an issue like this and just thought my mouse was being shitty...

[Detzu]

Why are all the zones i've been in so far so fucking annoying to navigate. I swear they did their damnedest to make sure that you have to take the long way around EVERY FUCKING TIME.

Well it has been like this in all FF games : rule #1 always take the longest path.

[Korialstrasz]

Follow-up to this: I'm actually a big fucking retard and didn't realize that, for some reason, my DF language options were to only one language, and that language wasn't even English. Activated them all, and back to instaqueues.

I know so many people that constantly bitch about long queues, and when I try to explain why to select all languages it's just "But we're on an English data center!" and "But I won't understand my party". Of course, further explanation into why it doesn't work the way they think it works just ends up in "DUNT TEL ME HAU 2 PLEY" territory.

Someone actually explained the intricacies of all that on Reddit once and people went full OF on it with a quickness and bombed it into oblivion. It's almost as people like long queues.

rule #1 always take the longest path.

Fuck this zone in particular

I've been having the sell and retainer issue but my mouse has been bugging me way more than just that. Anyone else notice on the dx11 client when you drag an icon it lags behind the mouse? Flaming Arrow and Salt the Earth circle is doing the same thing and it's driving me insane because it feels like my mouse is so slow.

[Buffy]

I haven't noticed that on shadow flare/sacred soil, but I tend to pre-position my mouse so all I have to do is hit the # (alt+7) and left click.

I used to have fun playing NIN, a lot of fun.

I do not have a lot of fun playing NIN now.

Well, if you're tired of shitty positionals (that are in effect requirements), there's WAR now..

[Niiro]

WAR was my first job to 60, but I mostly just did it because

1) Fuck DPS queue times
2) I'd get WAR to 60 and start NIN to 60 just in time for the flood or DRKs to catch up, thus fixing queue time issues as DPS.

Not what I wanted to hear! I'll be done with PLD this evening, but I wanted to do DRG next. Guess I'll just ride the WAR/DRK train.

Ran a High roulette, got Snowcloak. The 57 BLM had no idea what he was doing. Just mashing random buttons. Building stacks 1 by 1.

Feels like the game's polling of the mouse in general is fucked. Looking at the software mouse option, it looks like the UI interactions/ground-placements is being tied to that (which is sluggish as all hell on my PC) rather than the hardware-driven mouse. It shouldn't be trying to smoothen the input.

Does it in both DX9/11 here.

Did it do this to you before 3.0? My mouse was fine before. It started on 3.0.

I assume it did, since I always recalled there being a very subtle delay in my right-click camera movement.

This expansion also takes quite a few liberties with regards to zone line transitions.



May as well make the whole bottom of the sea of clouds a zone line at that rate.

Good to see nothing has changed.

I literally came here to complain about the same exact thing after trying to 6man t12. I'm not paying an extra 6$/mo to do progression this time around, so I guess it's time to go yell at verizon.

Used WTFast tonight. Look at dat packet loss without WTFast tho lol. Kind of a joke I have to use this but whatevs.

Is this a common problem with Verizon fios? I played XIV and it used to always lag during the middle of the day (I played mostly at night so it didn't matter but it still wasn't fun when it happened during the day).

As for Hunts, I still think they should do it like Naakuals/WKR In XI Seekers of Adoulin.

Those 12-36 hour Yumcax battles (where you had to pay up 75k Bayld to get in and no refunds, if you are dead/afk for 1 hour, you get auto-home pointed, and you had to stay for the kill and contribute or else you don't get any items) were the most amazing thing I ever experienced in any MMO. One person accidentally pulls a bunch of mobs after people start recovering and wipe the group again.

Though, the majority of time players did start to work together (after 5-10 hours of wiping though), set up tank rotations, heal rotations, etc and it was actually an amazing mass 100-200+ PUG grouping experience. Would be nice to see in XIV. It also did a good job at making the Naakuals threatening.

Kudos to Tanaka for SoA (while he left before SoA came out, he did come up with most of the ideas for SoA before he left).
