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

[Kaisha]

or do those roulettes ignore ALL materia (surely not)?

Unfortunately they do.


Also can't wait for Ishgard to get a housing zone, but requires $15 entry fee via Mogstation to have the privelage to buy a lot with ingame gil.

[Niiro]

ilvl Sync ignores all materia period, doesn't matter what ilvl the gear they're attached to is.

I just legitimately don't understand the mentality behind "I haven't watched any videos or even read any text strategies for how to do this fight." For trash content, expert dungeons, etc, sure, okay, but when you're talking about Coil or EX primals or things where the mechanics actually matter, it's just baffling to me how people think they can wing it. Frankly, it's outright disrespectful because it means you're just wasting everyone's time if you try that.

"But videos are only for tryhard elitists" yeah no there's a difference between a casual and a scrub and that's a scrub mentality if I ever saw one.

If you memorize all the content through guides and videos before even touching it, never figuring anything out for yourself, what is the appeal of even playing the game?

[Seravi Edalborez]

To a certain degree I fall under this category, I don't care if we win or lose it wont make me upset, add stress or shift my mood one way or another. I'll get annoyed tho if people are intentionally fucking things up or unable to comprehend the most basic shit, like ballistic missile and not knowing how 1-2-3 work for it.

My problem with "it's just a game" is how far people take it, and why I shouldn't also.

Oh it's just a game, why should I do combos.

Oh it's just a game, why should I heal the tank?

Oh it's just a game, gonna go eat pizza while you guys do the dungeon. wtf why'd they kick me it's just a game.

"It's just a game" shouldn't complain that they can't win because they aren't trying.

Then you go find a like-minded group of 7 others who want to learn content six months after it's come out that got nerfed to hell.

You're just wasting everyone elses time otherwise in a genre where knowledge is everything.

My friends and I DF T6 since they had enough time to get on and clear T5.

"Hey new person, did you watch Mr. Happy's video?"

We tell the person "No we're talking with him on the entire run". and right before we even pull Rafflesia, OT, 1 DPS and 1 healer leaves after calling him a noob for not only refusing to watch Mr.Happy's videos but potentiallywasting their time"......

Replacements come and we 1-shotted it with one mess up....

Why is PLD the only class that doesn't have a level 44 weapon from the Grand Companies? That's so dumb.

Yeah I don't get people like that. We carried a friend through T5/6/7/8/9 last week with a brief explanation before each fight and 1 shotted them all. We got him to run into the wall for T9 but the rest he did the full fight with no mess-ups. The fights are not hard if you're only carrying 1-2 people and they aren't given important tasks.

(Well technically we didn't 1 shot T7 but that's because people were dicking around with petrifies for fun. We 1 shotted at first serious attempt).

I hope it was actually a joke macro, otherwise ugh >.>

Go 2/2 on ARM master 2 synths ... 0/10 since. Thanks RNGesus.

Just please tell me the LB was actually being casted during all that, and not after.

[Gokulo]

I actually don't remember, but I think so.

Should've been "RIIIMIIIITTTOOO BUUUREEEEEEEKKKKUUUUUUU!!!"

[Arthars]

that macro, reminds me of the MNK's FFXI version for chi blast...

[Eanae]

DRG bufs, NIN nerfs, and no mention of Dragon Kick nerf or giving other jobs the option to be as broken as MNK is for progression. What the hell.

Yeah, definitely the first thought.

[Modoru]

At least we haven't hit Bleach-level macros.

Please don't ask for a MNK nerf! It's hard enough to keep GL3 up all the time.
