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

[AlastorTGN]

No specific incident here, but I really wish people would actually read the party chat.

If I say "Can someone release an Ad directly after his 360 swing?" and someone says yes, releases one after the attack I'm specifically trying to avoid (AKA, Disorientating Groan), then why even bother saying yes in the first place?

Even worse is that I sometimes specify "before his dashes" and they STILL 'misinterpret'. I kinda' wish this strat went viral as it's tiring to have to type it out every single time and even moreso when it's been ignored.

[Kaisha]

It's two GCDs after the 360 swing so I don't know how people mess up the timing of it to cut off the Roar castbar.

[Twilight Sky]

I release the adds whenever it does that big swing(when the floor glows). I tried it with the groan, but for some reason they can't be activated, like at the start when he usually does it. Maybe I missed something, will have to look again.

[Rocl]

The only time they can't be activated is if one is out.

Did SE really come out and say they realize PLD's have complaints about DPS and they will look into it? Like we've only just sprang this shocking revelation on them and they haven't already had months and months to attempt to find a solution. What the fuck SE.

I already haven't logged in for like 2+ months and unless they give BRD something amazeballs, I now have zero enthusiasm to bother logging in after update.

[Niiro]

They're gonna do something to fix their TP issues tho.

Which will solve everything.

And you know the TP solution will be something dumb.

[Jem]

In before the TP solution involves using lower DPS combos / lowering DPS

[Niiro]

"PLD GCD has been increased to 3s in order to resolve any TP issues as well as coincide with Clemency's cast time."

Enjoy.

LMAO

I wish they would do that, just so I could read the OF justify it.

[Alistaire]

They'll give PLD a mechanic like Wanderer's Minuet, but instead of increasing the damage, it'll reduce TP cost.

[Niiro]

Yea sorry about before, I translated it wrong.

PLD won't have their GCD increased to 3s but all WS will now have a 3s cast time*

I was thinking more along the lines of:

Goring Blade:
Delivers an attack with a potency of 100.
Combo Action: Riot Blade
TP Cost reduced by 20 when delivered from a target's flank. Combo Potency: 220
Combo Bonus: Damage over time with potency of 40 for 24s (combined total potency of: 540)

Back when I was young and naive I had hoped that 3.0 would bring a completely revamped TP system given how stupid, uninteresting, and arbitrarily limiting the TP system was across the board.

Then 3.0 came and barely anything changed and I was sad.

Rather than change the fundamental problems with the game they'd rather build on top of shit systems with layers of ineffectual band-aids.

[kisada]

one of the easiest things they could do is make tank-specific dots generate TP per tick. it'd fix all tank tp issues and encourage players to actually learn how dots work. not that it'd fix the million other issues the game has, but you gotta start somewhere.

I remember playing the alpha with a level 20 cap and thinking how amazing the game will be once we reach level 50 in 2.0. Then I played 2.0 and realized after several months that the gameplay wasn't what I had hoped it would become.

3.0 rolls around and I think, great we'll finally get some new systems added or even needed adjustments. Instead we got 5 new skills/abilities per class.

[Lujei]

Complaint: They added new cards and yet there's still no Nabriales card to at least give me a reason to do Chrysalis in roulette. Instead they added a fucking Deep Eye.

Please, SE.

Edit: Also, Chrysalis nerf. lol

They're going to have to change something come 4.0 because they can't just keep adding to the hotbar problem, especially with controller users. They can't possibly make the dps rotations any more obnoxious either.

[BaneTheBrawler]

bring back skillchains/magic bursts

[Taruina]

bring back skillchains/magic bursts

Those will be reintroduced in time for SAM's release.

Please look forward to it.
