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

[Neon_Sea]

relic delay killed me basically

we may not even have that much relic quest anymore, unlike 2.0 series. this delay, and bring it in 3.15 means it can be only 1 time, and then wait again in 3.3.... i really liked how relic become 100 > 110 > 115 back then in a x.1 series

they did say from here on, patches will never be delayed again tho, so thats prolly good news that they finally bring back the pace....

Same dude, wtf! Relic was like the THING you do while not raiding, they are dropping the ball so hard holy shit.

Unless they add a weekly reward Alex will be a ghost town very soon, even more so than now.

Wouldn't be surprised if (probably in 3.2 or later) they went the CT route and gave you an upgrade item of your choice for doing all four Normal Alex. But they haven't said anything about it for 3.1, so...

They have but not for Alex.

I just started GW2 and decided to check out the subreddit. Right on the front page there's a thread titled "HoT is bashing my face in and I'm loving it." The difference in communities at a glance man.

Also, you always hear people referencing Yoshi say "Get Gud", but then he and his team decide to nerf content outside of the endgame raids. Is he just mocking the people this game is marginalizing?

[kisada]

sounds just like the pollyanna bullshit i read on ffxiv literally every single day. don't see how it's any different.

[FHT]

The guy said he wouldn't add more customisation options in fear that it would confuse people, to me the mockery started at this point.

-Specialized class stats (strength, willpower, cunning, aim) have been removed in favor of a single generic one called “mastery,” and most gear in the game has been made adaptive and rather than the restrictive light, medium or heavy designations. In the past the presence of those specialized stats and armor types precluded some characters from being able to use certain gear or mods for said gear. Gear selection is now much less complex than it used to be, and you have greater freedom to wear what you want to wear.

Don't worry. Other games are getting the treatment as well.

[Taruina]

Relic of a complaint from 2.1, but not being able to queue for the duty finder while having a PF up or Chocobo companion summoned is complete bullshit.

[Akiyama]

Been lagging since basically last week sometime, around the same time servers went down for a while to manage the EU database. It's been awful for progression. Constant freezes randomly and it's only gotten worse ._. makes A3S progression shitty.

[Destinye]

Game always seems to go to shit when its close to update time.

[Qeomash]

SE probably copying their installers to each individual machine. And then re-copying the newer versions of the installers after they fix another string of spaghetti.

[Kaisha]

Playing some Wildstar on the side after getting dragged into in by some of my XIV bros, and being sad at how much basic shit it has that XIV lacks, and vice-versa.

We're talking simple stuff, like being able to change telegraph colours, castbars on enemy name labels (doubled with telegraphs filling up based on castbar, not pulsing like ARR), and FoV options. Most of Wildstar's own shortcomings can be band-aided with its add-on support, which XIV is still lacking.

Speaking of which, add-on support is 'supposed' to be ready for 3.1, but I'm feeling like that's not going to be the case with how quiet they've been about it since it's supposed to be a huge thing for the game and something you'd want the community to be able to beta test on.

[solracht]

Addon support was supposed to be ready over a year ago. Have no doubt they'll be very loud about it when it's finally happening.

Yeah, there's no way add-on support will be just a small bullet in the patch notes, and really only the minor bullet points are left unannounced for 3.1 at this point. SE is just hoping that nobody notices they passed yet another deadline. And even if someone does ask in an interview, SE will just dodge the question as usual.

I feel like SE can fix some of the QoL issues players have but they won't so as not to devalue the PS3/4 too much.

Less devalue, more "oh, you're on PS3 so you can't use x feature so we don't want you in this fight." /kick

Feelings could be hurt!

I believe that they don't have enough developers to address some of the QoL issues. There's a lot of things that could use improvement, which aren't overly difficult or game breaking, but they're never addressed. The marketboard is in serious need of a revamp because of the bloated item lists. Crafting suffers from this same issue. Unfortunately, both have stayed relatively the same since 2.0.

There are plenty of other areas that could use fixing too, but chances are that'll never happen with the current dev team's size.

[Niiro]

Add-on support MIGHT finally come when they drop PS3.

MAYBE

Probably never tho.

I remember when they stated years ago that they'd take the most popular add-ons and implement an official solution for PS4 users at the least.

[Destinye]

Nah. They said they'll simply add popular/approved add-ons in an update to the PS3/PS4. So the only thing holding them back is they know the "Yoshi can do no wrong" crowd is loud enough in their desires of not needing it.
