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

[octopus]

And then Ramuh HM for Trials where the same two people were tethered for the entire fight because they couldn't figure out how to pick up three orbs quick enough.

Does it actually matter? It's just HM. No need to do mechanics just burn down adds/boss ;o

[Twilight Sky]

Except the tethered people can't burn down the boss because they'll kill each other.

Let's not forget Chaotic Strike.

I don't remember the mechanics in hard mode doing any kind of significant damage that Eos/Selene can't take care of by itself /shrug.

Didn't specifically matter because it's next to impossible to wipe but having them just stand there doing nothing for the entire third phase because they couldn't get untethered and didn't want to kill themselves was pretty demoralizing from a "how did these people manage to log in" perspective.

That, and Ramuh HM already takes longer than the other HM primals to begin with. Dragging it out even more is just an exercise in torture.

You know, though it happened about a month ago, I still feel rather annoyed that my group couldn't get past HM King Moggle Mog, cause the people in the party (Excluding Carth) were idiots.

Happened to me recently except I was the one tethered. Does about 600 per tick every time you do an action so it adds up pretty quick if you have any amount of skill speed or a lot of oGCDs to spam. Also when your tether partner won't let you grab the last orb to break the chain cause he wants to be cool and sees you collecting them as well or random other people eating orbs for no reason.

Saaaaaaaake! Unlocked collectibles last week but only just started trying for them tonight. As it didn't automatically put the ability on my hotbar, I didn't realise it existed. My fault for not reading but I can't even find the help text associated with it when I tried to figure out the issue, I had to google it. So as you can imagine I am now slightly irritated at crafting an assload of shit to turn in and being unable to do so.

Since we're sharing:

Got Ultros and Typhon earlier, no new people, failed the very first snort twice from people not punching, left.

Had to save a group this morning by preemptively jumping out of bounds because the off-tank wasn't watching his position and screwed up the Merry Go Round part splitting up all the people who were transformed.

Computer was fucked for a week, had to reinstall Windows and XIV.

Finally get back on and decide to grind Esoterics so I can get i200 PLD Sword.

Maintenance two hours after I log back on.

Forget about high DPS if this happens to 2 DPS and no orbs to eat because people think its suddenly extreme m
Speaking of extreme mode. Seen a lot of unsynced pfs but I just can't. i180s still dying on phase 2 is something I don't want to witness.

We started Savage real late this week because of people being busy with real life stuff, got a1 down fast enough and then were prepped to beat a2 lastnight, then one of our healers modems breaks an hour before we were set to go in. Now we both have to live with the perpetual torment of being a week behind. ;_;

Tanks are really princesses in this game




I aggroed mobs by 'mistake' and tank is mad. So we kicked him, and now i'm stuck with Eurell

[Taint]

You are supposed to vote kick right before the final boss. Increase butthurt plus the new tank will love you long time.

I didn't had time to deal with this the whole run sadly

Sounds like those fucking reddit/OF preachers of "I'll suck purposefully to teach u lesson" and I'm glad to see reality bites them for it.

[Raldo]

I'm inclined to laugh at the guy, but as a tank, I would much rather you speak up "Hey, I'm healing you and this shit is easy, pull more fucking mobs" rather than just pull the shit yourself. I'd probably leave them on you too, but it's hard to say without knowing the situation.
