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

[Niiro]

That was just a change to the display priority for hunt mobs, I don't see how that would effect the rendering distance for all models.

I don't remember the rendering distance ever being further than it currently is, it's just much more noticeable with flight.

I swear levi ex is borked, did about 17 runs with my friends and havn't seen a single pony ;;

I don't like situations where on BLM I'm carrying the other DPS.

This is also a server data issue thing. Increasing the radius is an exponential curve in how much data it needs to send to every client.

Decided to do the Duty Roulette HM and ended up in Snowcloack with a SMN & DRG DPS. As soon as we enter I get the "Tank be carefull!" from the SMN, so i'm like "meh?" I decided to pull packs one by one because I don't like what I seen (DRG rotations and Ifrit EGI) & it goes ok.
I decided to pull 2 packs of Ice Spirit in the outside zone of the Area, and then wipe cause the DPS was horrible, keep in mind that they had iLv115 gears and I used Shadow-Skin, Wall, & Dark Mind boosted with DA.. The healer was a WHM who never used Holy once either.

Just before Fenrir, the SMN got mad & decided to run ahead to the 2 Aevis & the SMN to try & kill the SMN asap nearly turning it into a third Aevis (thanks Low blow.) Finaly, we wiped 5 times to Fenrir because the WHM wouldn't move in time for Lunar Cry (I had to make a macro for them) and said SMN died to Ice missiles/Lunar Cry too. Its so freaking hard to hide behind a pillar every 4 mins.

Decided to give a go to the EX Roulette after that, ended in Neverreap with a SCH who was new but who let me die twice cause he was probably watching something on Netflix, a BLM who was single targeting everything and who told me "a good BLM keep his free pyrostarter procs for secondary target because its better spreading damage and unlike Fire II/Flare, its free!" The other DPS, a DRG was as idiotic.

I got called toxic & new to tanking when I told them that they're both a pain in the bottom and to stop derping around.


TLDR: Heavensward should have been named "Heavensbackward" cause its what it is in term of gameplay & playerbase..

[Jahaudant]

"You chaps are a right pain in my bottom!"

[Gokulo]

^ lol

The word toxic triggers me

[Twilight Sky]

"a good BLM keep his free pyrostarter procs for secondary target because its better spreading damage and unlike Fire II/Flare, its free!"

This right here folks is why Neverreap will take nearly an hour. BLM holding out on a huge percentage of damage because he cares so much about an MP pool that is unlimited.

Puggin A4 as OT

I always use cardinal directions for the sole purpose of avoiding this. And even then sometimes people can't into map orientation. That's when it's time for the north "star" marker.

It was always your book hand jeez

[Taint]

Puggin A4 as OT

Every time I PUG A4, the other tank goes "I'm OT" as soon as we enter. Then they proceed to do sub 300 dps in full fending accessories.


Complaint: I will never get Alex NM body, fuck doing that zone 20 times for the body drop. They need to add it to A3 or make it auto double drop.

[Niiro]

This is also a server data issue thing. Increasing the radius is an exponential curve in how much data it needs to send to every client.

But like I said before, if the server wasn't already sending information about mobs outside the current rendering distance, how would the client know King Behemoth was there in order to render it so far away?

Its shite anyway

I suspect KB is a special case. Using GW you have to get somewhat close to an A rank spawn to trigger the notification.
