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

[Niiro]

From day 1 Jump should have been their 30s cooldown gap closer.

The fact that DRK got exactly that (Plunge is 200 pot/30s, essentially Jump + gap closer) is hilarious.

I never liked DRG's job skills, Power Surge is boring and makes Jump feel even clunkier, Spineshatter is just what Jump should have been, Dragonfire is just more of the same but AoE, Elusive Jump is the only skill with real unique utility (but with far too long of a cooldown).

Meh, at least DRG didn't get a One-Ilm-Punch.

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 don't pvp pretty solely for the skill bloat. I have 3 bars fully loaded for just PVE... I literally have no accessible keybinds left.

And yet despite not being a real PvP system, in XI they did it perfectly fine and could have easily expanded on that.

Nope - due to reasons, let's have an entirely separate set of skills for PvP rather than balancing them or changing their effects based on the pvp flag...you know, kind of like how the skills already scale and change based on traits and level? >.> The system is there.

When they made it so you could see who has and hasn't lotted on shit they should have just tacked a ready-check list to the side of the loot window that shows who has and hasn't lotted the currently selected item.

The chat spam of lot messages, aside from being very annoying and spamming the log (often pushing things like chat out before you can even notice it), is not at all helpful when figuring who has and hasn't lotted when there's 8 people and 5 items in the pool.

I look forward to this in future alliance content.

Would be nice if they made it so you could tell if someone green/needed on something or passed as well. Right now it's the same message in the log regardless of which action you do.

Oh how FFXI handled such simple things in a simple easy manner...

[Ratatapa]

Remember how long it took us in 1.0 that we could examine people's gear?

Nothing surprise me now

I don't get your meaning.

There's a ready check window for alliance <_> also it would only be needed for alliance loot anyway, which is minions and housing items from final chest.

With the custom loot rules I can't think of a situation where you'd need that really.

If it's DF, then it is what it is, if it's a premade Greed farm then you just set it to Greed only or Lootmaster.

[Raldo]

I don't get your meaning.

I sarcastically meant I would look forward to seeing the chat log spam during alliance content, but yeah I forgot only a couple items are alliance-wide.

Helpful for the odd silence where you can't tell if a weapon in RavEX is going to hit the floor or not without having to speak up.

Player rolls needs - "Player cast his/her lot on the item"
Player rolls greed - "Player cast his/her lot on the item"
Player passes - "Player cast his/her lot on the item"

In a programming sense it's just something they whipped together last second more than likely display wise, because honestly..I think what I fear most is that the Esoteric upgrade items going into the 3.1 alliance raid will be universal loot just to create an even larger brick wall due to lack of content.

[BadKarma]

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.

Oh yeah everything else works fantastic

After using Ohojo and then Hive Kris for so long all other NIN weapons seem way, way tiny, including Yuskimitsu.

Ninja's "daggers" were closely approaching that of short swords with their size, rather the size of kunai like they should be.

Daggers in this game are quite huge.... Hell Khanjars, which are Darksteel Jambiya's from XI, are like 1.5x the mass/size of the ones in XI it seems. The Dagger itself is about the length of my Miqo's Torso, and almost as wide, which is quite large lol. I think it makes it easier to see the models which I kinda like on some of them, but I find myself using the smaller ones much more often. Personally enjoy the Wolf I.lv 70 or 90 weapon, I forget which, that look like pretty damn cool red/blue curves spikes... kinda like actual Jambiya shaped. Its neat.

[Niiro]

Given the general overdesign of a lot of gear in the game combined with the flashy as hell combat and the smaller katanas just kinda disappear in it all.

The way their held doesn't help much either, since our characters hold them near the center of their bodies with the blades pointing outward it just makes them seem even smaller (compared to the way a lot of races in XI held them, generally in a much more visible manner).

[Kaisha]

They really need to add shaft to A3 just to alleviate the lot-wars on it in A4 now that the fifth week's started and everyone will be working on gearing their secondary next week.

May as well add chain to A2 while they're at it so every drop in Alex Normal can be obtained from two floors.

I woulda preferred a Nyzul/Neo nyzul style system honestly.
