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

[Ratatapa]

The person in my static who crafts for me is awesome about this. Conversation generally goes

'Tebe! Can you craft me X/Y/Z?!'
'Sure, no problem'
'What do you need from me? I can get you whatever mats you need'
'It's ok, I don't need them'
*Gives me the item at some point later*
'How much do I owe you?'
'Nothing. I could farm the items easily so it's no big deal'

I feel bad. He very rarely takes money or mats off me but still crafts whatever I want. I wish he was the same job as me in our static so I could pass shit for him to repay the favor.

I don't mind for static, but i'm not gonna farm mats for free for a random

Amazingly shit week for our static. Only got to raid like 1 night, with an hour of learning A3, and now my hard drive is dying or something so I can't even play.

Fucking PvP inactivity timer. Texting on my phone whilst waiting for the starting barrier to get removed. Got kicked as it was going down and am now locked out for 30 mins.

I understand it going off during the fight but it shouldn't kick you whilst the barrier is still up (or should reduce the barrier timer to 1 min rather than 2). Yes, yes I know it gives you a warning after 1 minute.

Is your computer giving you an HDD error? It should if it's failing.

[BadKarma]

having issues with ACT parsing since upgrading to windows 10 :c

[Kaisha]

Need an option to bump the enemy list limit from 8 to 16, two columns if needed. PS3 users be damned.

[Jahaudant]

since upgrading to windows 10 :c

I believe I have identified your problem.

(Never upgrade your OS until you are sure as shit that what you use regularly actually works... wait for some other poor SOB to report problems. Related: thanks for being the poor SOB!)

[Skai]

I just upgraded to Windows 10 and I have no problem whatsoever. In fact, it improved a lotta stuff like Firefox loading faster and no more memory leak from FFXIV. ACT is working fine for me.

Can't speak for him but when my drive died it never gave me any Windows warnings. Everything just started stuttering all the time and after restarting my PC like a week later it just wouldn't boot.

I had a similar experience, stuff like this really makes weekly grinds annoying.

I like being a tank, but I hate that people expect me to tank a certain way for them AND assume I know what they want -.-. I'm fine with full runs, (but not speed so much), just come out and say it. Don't just leave out of the blue. And I hate speed running because I just can't trust healers, unless one requests for a speed run..

For future reference; The first noticeable sign of a dying HDD is when you hear the header clicking a lot(as it's trying to access data but unable). That's a small window to backup your stuff as soon it will not boot up anymore. Unfortunately, as I experienced with an external HDD, they can fail without any signs at all. One day, wont boot anymore.

i186+ Fending tanks parsing sub 300, fucking terrible.

A friend of mine yesterday was complaining that he kept pulling off a DRK on Fractal's first boss. He said the DRK finished with a whooping 156 DPS.

Edit: Finished that boss*

[Lokus]

I want to like PvP but SE's restrictions annoy the fuck out of me. Skill bloat is another annoyance especially when you consider SE can consolidate a lot of this shit or take a cue from other MMOs and make an intuitive combo system.

I'll never understand how this is possible. Even when I was full VIT when I was new, I can reach 350+ dps with an i180 sword as PLD vs bosses. You have to be doing something really terribly wrong to get sub 300.

I had an A3 yesterday. PLD with i200 Haute pulled 200 dps. I was right on his ass in hate doing Royal,Goring combo only.

Still waiting for that hotbar space solution

I'm starting to fear that promise has gone the way of the addon API and FC primals.

My biggest annoyance with drg is currently the animation lock on jump. I can't use jump after a #3 because if I get the wrong #4 then I have to lose half a gcd before I can move to the correct position.

From 2004 to 2015, they still cant deal with animation lock.

Grats, SE.

The sad part is they can. Spineshatter and Dragonfire still have animation lock but to a much lesser extent than Jump does. I'm highly suspect that the reason for the increased delay is the caveat of "returns you to your original position" on Jump which is honestly unnecessary but giving DRG 3 gap closers might be considered "unbalanced".

[Raldo]

Don't know why they don't just treat jump like a ranged attack, rather than actually moving your character.
