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

[Carth]

Does that mean they will replace you if you don't get your weapon in time? or does it mean they will let you go as what you prefer? If its the latter good, if its the 1st option.. I'd say its a bit of a slap in the face to make you go throu the struggle & replacing you if its not fast enough.

1st option, though apparently this thread is amazing because I got into an experienced party that was helping a friend that cleared it first try, and the MCH weapon dropped. Crisis averted.

Observe the swords. Trying to do story on my alt:

I'd rather be touching a butt as per suggested.

Encore, same group:

Your HUD layout confuses me.

FUCK A3s

[Twilight Sky]

@buffy - I like how in the first SS, one your of FC members complained about getting Steps of Faith lol.

So right now I'm just salty as hell because it seems no matter how good I get, there's some incompetent douchebags that rage quits after a few tries even though trials are meant to be attempted multiple times until you get it down.

Yeah I can sympathize with this. There's really nothing you can do in this situation. You just can't carry 7/23 people.

[FHT]

This is why you do Alex NM first thing on Tuesday, by Thursday pretty much all the competent people are done for the week.

Worse part is that I spent my Tuesday doing it (which capped my Eso week pretty much), got the drop on 2~4 pretty quiclky altho I didn't really get what I wanted, just A1 was the one I had to redo several time due to lotting 30 and below, & it keep happening. Screw RNG.

1st option, though apparently this thread is amazing because I got into an experienced party that was helping a friend that cleared it first try, and the MCH weapon dropped. Crisis averted.

Well congratulation to you! I'm glad to hear the struggle was over quick, I hope your static will reward your efforts.

Having to use lb to not die on a3s hp transfer on hand phase

[Hiryo]

Echoing the A1N frustration my gf and I consistently lose in that place when we both go healer. She mains whm and I recently got AST to 60 so I practice on that as much as I can. Every single wipe is do to alarm mishaps and I really don't understand how its so difficult. Yeah the first time I ever did A1 blind I grabbed an alarm and just killed it in place, but then I instantly saw people taking alarms to the line on the opposite side. Never made that mistake again. But these dps, no matter how many times we say "get these alarms and kill them under the line", can't seem to learn anything.

Its funny because i was typing novels in linkshell about these wipes. Of course the gf and I could have placed and killed the alarms ourselves as healers but I refuse to be responsible for carrying DPS who must be out-right refusing to play the game.

I also don't understand why so few overgeared DPS don't get both alarms. The spawn lines up perfectly with Geirskogul and everyone is playing drg/smn anyway. I was soloing both alarms in full law, its so easy. In fact, you would think people would feel better about themselves just soloing both alarms as dps.

We are doing the same thing for the sake of progression. Crazy that people cleared A3S without i200 weapons.

That whole encounter is annoying as shit and a lot of it is due so server ticks/lag.

Like the occasional getting clipped by the initial stream (if you're standing in between) or the debuffs not passing off even though people are doing it properly.

I'm not a fan of it, because if we can't pass the hand without LB I doubt we will have a chance later on, and I prefer mastering phase by phase instead of shoving the whole fight at once

Exactly. Stream, digititis always passes by mistake but sometimes doesn't when people are standing on each other and then the tethers which sometimes stick and sometimes don't due to server ticks.

Yep, like me (tank) and our MCH got knocked back into each other and we stood still..it didn't pass..so the second she moved to get out of the path of the WHM taking it THEN it passed off to her. I see why people say A3S is basically Titan 3.0 in the sense the server will fight you as well.

dont try logic with DF, just DPS as a healer at that point. What i did on sch: full time cleric as soon as they poped bane and place them under ¬.¬

Sooooo... decided to give another go at A1N cause still no good parties, & wen I get one? I roll 4 on the fucking bolt..

Anyway this last one I got was epic, ended in a party premade of 5 FC people which are on my very server...

We start & the WAR obviously wanted to DPS, fine but he does not say a word. I just want my drop, so I pull Faust & tank it. Meanwhile? The WAR completely ignore the adds which tear appart one of the healers (the one not from their FC.. funnily enough) so I end up tanking Boss + 5/6 adds.. but hey its DF right? Why Panic.

We get to the Oppressor, and because I saw the derpyness of that WAR, I decide to be as silent & let him figure (Hey tank it bro!) and there I am met with rude/bossyness, from a LOLDRG barely iLv176, start talking shit about how I should MT considering my amount of VIT/HP (was 3/5 STR OK..) But I keep it quiet.

WAR decide to pull after being bossy himself when I decide to still keep it silent, I OT, deal more DPS than most of their fail DRG/NIN/BRD & nearly steal hate from the WAR doing Delirim combos/Boosted C&A, then come 0.5 which I pick. Meanwhile DPS (none of them) pick my adds because everyone was on the oppressor, they didn't even bother picking the add over there & we die due to double missiles.

LOLDRG be rude to me again cause apparently they expected me to take the adds on my side & kill them under the beam while all of them were on Original Oppressor.

I decided to suck it up & pull Oppressor @ North, 0.5 come & the WAR do nothing again.. I decide to swap to 0.5 & the WAR (in DPS stance obviously) still do nothing, we die & they proceed to blame me because apparently 1 Delirium (single) stopped the WAR from taking aggro..

I start getting annoyed by their rudeness and ask them "Do you expect me to carry you?" follows the failstorm below;

I have been doing A1N between 10 and 12 times per days since tuesday just because RNG is a bitch and I lot for 4~26 everytime. I swear, as soon as I am done with this drop I will never ever step in DF A1-4N ever again. SE & their stupid token system can shove it up their ass sideways.

We managed to finish the duty because they refused to kick me, and I didn't want to take a 30mins penality because of such asses. At the end they decide to not lot anything to hold the pool up, making the solo WHM leave. I sit down & goes AFk 2 mins, when I come back they're all around me doing /em slap. I just don't know if I should report them or what.
