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

[Destinye]

I'm gonna be completely honest, I did not know they did that as an AoE. I thought they did that just by being alive. Burning down trash together just seemed logical.

Yep, I didn't know at first when I did it as DPS, but doing it as a tank I realized they actually AoE buffed so I started keeping them away from groups (especially the dolls) and get yelled at for it.

The dolls don't need anymore attack power than they have as is lol.

[Neon_Sea]

Ive seen people stun the double hard helm for like 30 sec with some shit in the machine. Or the machine just just keeps pulling them away.

I've done nothing but tank them and I never knew. My blm is always "OH MY GOD PULL EVERYTHING TOGETHER SO I CAN NUKE IIIIIT!", and like a good little boy, I acquiesced. Never noticed the buff, but now I have some ammo, thank you.

[The Stig]

The Hardmind/hardhelms apply a defensive debuff to my knowledge, rather than offensive, unless you're counting the time they're potentially up for due to such buffs and thus increasing overall damage.

Either way if you have a good AoE composition, it feels negligible at best. With a co-ordinated group it's no big deal. Maybe when you guys do your Savage, sure fair game.

[Ratatapa]

Hardhelm applies a Physical dmg taken down buff on himself and any mob near it

Hardmind is the same but Magical instead of physical

[Ratatapa]

Fuck you, 60 LTW quest. Fuck you and your requirement of a Chivalric Battledress of Aiming. Suck my fucking cock.

I didn't do my GSM 60 one cuz I don't see the reason since I won't meld my stuff yet. So i'll wait till i get better gear

Still using lolramieNQ at 60

I was trying to find a Mining parser ( to track % gathering and such) because frankly, i think those %'s are complete horseshit and I wanted a long term parse to prove me right or wrong.

I know RNG gunna RNG but GD I just don't accept shit like that.

I was doing leves the other day and decided to keep track of how often I missed vs what was actually shown. Small sample size is small, but during my handful of leves (no more than 200 gathering attempts), my 97% gather rate resulted in roughly 18% missing.

I would love to see a large scale test of this to see once and for all wtf is going on.

[Niiro]

Would be neat if ACT parsed DoL stuff >_>

Just got Halonic Inquisitors Musketoon and OMFG THEY NEED TO GET RID OF THIS STUPID LOOKING GAUSS BARREL THING ON THE END OF EVERY GUN.

HEY HOW ABOUT WE PUT A FUCKING TENNIS BALL ON THE END OF GREATSWORDS WHENEVER DARKSIDE IS UP TOO

WHY EVEN DESIGN THE FUCKING THINGS

[Neon_Sea]

^^^ How I feel about most tank and caster gear.
Hey lets make a sick top for this job...THEN ATTACH A HUGE FUCKING SKIRT ROBE THING FOR NO FUCKING REASON

[Seravi Edalborez]

I dunno, Gauss Barrel looks cool to me. I guess it would help if it had a gun that it paired especially well with. Presumably AF/newrelic.

[Destinye]

I wish they didn't scrap the attachment system idea and gave us the ghetto version instead.

[Niiro]

An automated spinning......super science......thing does not go with 90% of the guns in the game that look like old, handcrafted flintlocks.

Regardless, a big awkward thing of any style stuck on the guns barrel would look stupid, because you see that and not the gun.

The harp built into Artemis looked fine, now imagine if they awkwardly stapled a stupid harp onto every bow when you had WM up.

[ronin sparthos]

Suck my cock undercutting fucks.

Stop shitting up the markets for sellers with your massive depreciation of items.

[Korialstrasz]

I actually didn't know that it wasn't meant to match the weapon when I first got it, because the one I was using for glamour paired so well with it. Darksteel-barreled Blunderbuss:

How can so many people fucking fail at A1?

[Ratatapa]

Cuz it's hyperion

jk bads everywhere

Framerate limiter is shit.

Some areas I get 40-50fps consistent during fates/battle in outdoor location just because my GPU is old. If I set limit to 30, and it'll dip to 24 at times when it should be a perfect 30 given how it runs uncapped. Trying to keep temperatures down on this hot day.

[Jahaudant]

Decided to start a new relic to see how easy they made it now. Farming Atmas with my partner and literally every zone one of us would get the atma on the first FATE and the other one would have to do at least 10 more FATEs before it dropped for them while the first drop-ee continiously gets more ATMAs. My inventory is full with alternating quantities of Atma... 1, 4, 1, 3, 1, 5, 1, 2. Is this shit rigged!?

Spoiler: show

At least it's not 3+ hours per atma any more.

It seems to be some horrible form of vertical sync mixed with framelimiting. Honestly you're better off using a third party driver tweaker (nVidia Inspector for example) to lock the framerate at whatever it is you want to lock at.
