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

[The Stig]

Oh I didn't notice that, the single piece loot annoyance took over at that point! hahaha

[Lokus]

I imagine the reason is because it takes more runs to collect all the glamour if it's only one piece per chest.

Gotta keep us busy somehow once people get tired/done with diadem.

Speaking of people -

Last 6 void ark runs vote abanonded at Tentacle boy because apparently it's too god damn hard for the people who are doing it now.

And it is even more apparent with the extra drops and diadem.

The i200 stuff just isn't worth more than 1-3 trips into DF hell.

One shot it today with friends. Didn't even need loot. No talk of tactics in chat, everyone knew what to do. This is chaos data center though. So milage may vary

On the other hand nearly wiped in A1N. How do people not know how to do adds after so long? So many jumps as well due to poor dps.

[Niiro]

Speaking of diadem:

-It's boring
-Offers no challenge
-Has absolutely no depth

It's a gigantic repetitive laggy zergfest mess of an event.

I don't think I can tolerate going there as any DPS other than BLM either, positionals are an exercise in futility with the Sanuwas constantly spinning and the knockbacks get old in the first 5 mins, nvm 90 mins of that shit. And BLM over other ranged DPS because virtually none of their damage comes from DoTs which are a crap shoot when the mobs are often over the debuff limit.

The number of times I went thru the trouble to actually land TA on a spinning mob just to get the "No Effect" message made it very clear that trying to do anything properly here would just end in frustration, after a while I stopped bothering with Mutilate and Shadow Fang too, just DE and Raiton and why the fuck am I even here this is awful.

Unless it's right after a maintenance. Then HELL YEAH.

[Silenka]

Yeah, Diadem is a great concept and offers more freedom than most things, but they really need to do something more with it now. If it never evolves past "hunts on steroids" zergfest it'll be just another trash event. It has potential...

Speaking of Diadem, did a PF for it today and all of the dps sucked ass. Couldn't get credit on almost anything and people started leaving in frustration. Dps need to lrn2dps so bad. PF roulette = lose/lose.

[Almalexia]

Speaking of diadem:

Forgotten Wisent.

I can't even. I just can't.

[Jem]

Diadem loot distribution is shit. They really need to stop letting everyone just greed on the 210's. I've not actually seen a drop I want yet but I can imagine how frustrated others must be seeing good drops go to people who don't even have the job levelled. You should have to set a need job on entry

Also the credit system is meh. On the last run we didn't get credit on the last 2 NM pops because people were either being bad or lazy.

It would be nice if they let you trade in the seal thingys for random 210 pieces of a set job.

[Lujei]

I think setting a job/role to Need upon entry would work well. And yes, credit can be annoying, especially if your DDs go off gathering and say fuck you like they are prone to in DF.

The entirety of Diadem is a giant random complaint for me.

[Almalexia]

Good day to you partner! I'm Gheed and I can already tell that I'll be your best friend in this forsaken camp.

[Dotsudoku]

Like Abyssea. That's actually a good idea. They could just lock it behind quite a lot of plates, if they wanted

[Edelweiss]

Forgotten Wisent.

I can't even. I just can't.

By far the toughest of the starred mobs. It's Bonnacon with over 4 million HP, so you're in for a bad time unless you're packing multiple reliable ranged Silence sources.

Fuck Horrisonous Blast.

[Taruina]

Like Abyssea. That's actually a good idea. They could just lock it behind quite a lot of plates, if they wanted

it's nothing like abyssea; the loot-augment system is dogshit, wherein aby you were actually working towards something.

[Dotsudoku]

Reading's cool

A trade-in system that provided randomized 210's in exchange for large amounts of plates would be like Abyssea

[Qeomash]

I think setting a job/role to Need upon entry would work well.

This is exactly how it should be.

[Jem]

I fully expect they will change the system. Of course it will be once the gear is no longer relevant.

[Katlan]

there is nothing interesting about skynamis after the first time you go in. There is no strategy to pulls and its worse than a XI merit party. at least in a XI merit party you had to think and there was some skill required. they fact you cant need on gear in a PF honestly blows my mind though. I have no idea what they were thinking

all it leads to is the ninja looter like that person in the skynamis thread who was like "I'll eventually lv mnk"
