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

[Niiro]

The TP display isn't as good as the TP plugin for ACT.

More important than the numbers, the ACT plugin let you filter what jobs it displayed for (idc what the DoM's TP are) and change the color of the bar based on the value.

They should have just made TP display instead of MP for DoW.

PLD and DRK are the only DoW that use MP and they both manage their own, PLD should never need Ballad and it doesn't even effect DRK in Darkside.

Had a issue with my modem or whatever and couldn't patch the launcher in the morning so I missed the easy Alex DF clearings. I was able to finally patch and get in game about now and I wiped A1 because retarded daytime pug tanks don't have provoke. I just left and logged out, I think at this point I have completely lost interest and weekly Alex/tome farming. I regret getting 3 month sub due to heavensward hype, after almost two years I think i'll just be a 1 month logger for major patches.

not that its useful information, but they do use it

BRD and MCH*

Kind of left them out mentally because they're the ones who restore the MP, not get restored.

I suppose the option to show MP or TP for each class in the party list settings would have been the ideal solution, but that means programmin and stuff, SE ain't got the know-how for that.

Fractal and Neverrape

Or how about they quit letting the lowest common denominator hold back the other platforms when they plan on ditching it regardless? My HUD's a redundant mess until they do something about the lack of numbers on my party list bar. Hell, ditch the Party/Light Party/Full Party font if they have to just to make it display one four digit number again.

wtb a tank that won't throw a tantrum when the healer dps in a dungeon.

wtb a tank that doesn't take 10 seconds to round up any given two-pack pull. I don't even bother precasting shadow flaring in the obvious place anymore because of retards moving mobs all over the place and then deciding they want to move the pack *again* three seconds after they settle.

Group pull #2 in Fractal being a huge offender. It's not hard to grab everything and then ram them into the one Conjurer mob that spams Stone.

Even if they dropped all consoles you still have Yoshi P to deal with.

[BaneTheBrawler]

yeah. it would be nice to see at least your own TP numbers in the party window. let me clear up some of the UI clutter.

[Kaisha]

Can they boot him after 3.0 is done and get Matsui in then since he'll be done with XI at that point? His crew worked wonders on a god damn PS2 MMO since Tanaka left, including full MP/TP display across an entire alliance.

[Niiro]

Based on what I've read and heard he's done with XI even with PS2 limitations I'll take whatever he'd be able to get us with PS3 limitations any day >_>

Not to mentioned XI's superior glamour system, challenge log system, inventory/storage options.........

[Ratatapa]

Tank that runs over me and blow the 'ball' on A4 when i'm already there

Yep, yoshi is a fine director/producer but some stuff seems suspect when you compare to what is being done with XI. The fact they could add a 2nd floor, thus even more inventory space to that old of an MMO, let alone a PS2 MMO at that..does speak wonders. It does suck that the load time is slightly longer now (only noticable really if your HD is slow) but it's a trade off for the fact they can introduce so much lol.

I mean hell, there were literally no reasons to revert the materia in XIV to 'basic' design compared to 1.x. I mean there wasn't much they could do on that engine..but an engine switch and better servers was all that game needed. I still browse: http://ffxiv.mozk-tabetai.com/ and wonder why they didn't keep some of these stats when armor/weapons has up to 10 slots ignoring set bonus and materia slots.

wtb healers that don't throw a fucking fit because I'm in str accessories and dps stance.

Job that doesn't remotely need it in MNK gets a buff. Jobs that need attention like PLD and BRD get nothing. Yes I am biased as PLD and BRD are my two jobs but it's a ridiculous situation.

Like how can they possibly think MNK needs something more than PLD or BRD?

[Destinye]

Honestly, our BRD is still pulling plenty of DPS in Alex Savage 1-3, so it's no where near the 2.7k+ the SMN pulls lol, but I don't really see what's wrong with BRD but I've seen either REALLY good BRDs or REALLY shitty brds..no middleground.

PLD I can't speak of since my PLD partner seems to handle himself fine too.

[solracht]

You're misunderstanding what the BRD complaints are about. It's not about damage output or viability of the job, it's about how clunky it feels now.

[Jem]

Pretty much. BRD plays like a piece of shit and is maybe slightly behind in damage but that's not as big a deal due to utility.

PLD is behind WAR in just about every practical scenario plus flows way worse (stance switching eats a GCD and breaking combo, clemency breaks combo and has too long a cast time to be useful, shield swipe being pointless, damage lagging behind and less utility too). Its not as bad as 2.0 WAR as it can still fundamentally function as a tank but it's way behind WAR and a little ways behind DRK too.

PLD is pretty much in the same situation tanking wise as AST was healing wise. Functional but outclassed by the other options.

[Lokus]

lol, i was pleasantly surprised when the lvl 15 conjurer in my tamtara pt today was nuking with cs on

You find this CNJ and you nurture him. Don't let the OF tier scumbuckets taint him!

[Destinye]

He'll have enough taints to clean later anyway.

if im tanking and grouping up mobs, if someone has a ground aoe that they preemptively dropped, i'll usually try and move everything to that spot if possible. I rarely see this happen when im not tanking though.
