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

[Niiro]

I mentioned this in the forum thread but:

Shit should have been in with 3.0 with later stages added with 3.05 and 3.1.

Adding the whole thing with 3.1 would have been only marginally better than 3.15, both would have still been way too fucking late.

[Deuce]

Besides the relic quest, 3.15 was a pretty empty patch?

I unsubbed last month so I haven't kept up too much with this last update. Seems as though SE blew their load on LoV and Diadem believing that it was actually good content. Unfortunately, after a month all I'm seeing is people saying LoV has been cast aside like TT and Diadem is just farm the same shit over and over with no variety.

It was just the relic and the new hildebrand that is not really hildebrand quest line

Officially have a headache from my level roulette. Actually I'm writing this between wipes on the final boss of Library. Now I know the acute pain of having a shit healer while tanking. There were times she just sat there without healing and killed me. I saw (any type of) regen once in the whole run. I compensated the best I could, luckily WAR has plenty of self-healing abilities at that level but sometimes it wasn't enough. We wiped to the final boss 2 or 3 times. It seems like at the very end of the very last try she figured out she had Asylum, and proceeded to cast it to the left of where I was standing, near precisely nobody. She blamed her terrible healing and failure to do mechanics on "my computer being laggy and buggy". I thought "at least she's giving me e4e" until I realized I was actually getting that from the SMN.

How the fuck do these people remember how to breathe?

[Fiye]

Turns out you didn't check the 'hard mode' box when you spawned Planet Earth so breathing is one of those innate ability instead of being part of your rotation.

Ugh, I had a very similar experience with my expert last night. When I'm bored enough to do it I usually go WAR since it's insta-queue. Had the worlds worst WHM. Never e4e, never regen, only cd I recall ever seeing was Asylum once on Belladonna. They somehow died on the marlboro boss at 68% then returned before the SMN could raise, but we still beat that 1 try thanks to bloodbath and equilibrium. The bee just highlighted their stupidity, never moved out of the middle for the crossfire and died every time after being told follow into a safe corner at least 4 times, beat bee on 3 tries thanks to smn. Then Belladonna was exactly as I would have expected from first 2 bosses, only dodged frond by accident, kept overlapping the target aoe's, spent most of their time spamming medica1. Again after 4 tries we barely won thanks to the smn. I'd ask how do people even get this far being so terrible, but I already know the answer to that question. Me and smn tried to explain things to them early on but they never replied or said a word the whole run. I would have left mid bee if not for the smn, gave me some hope we could do it despite the whm. Time left on the timer when I exited. under 15min :/

Some of you have too much patience. Would of been an insta kick for me

[Twilight Sky]

Ah yeah as a tank, I don't have to care about the DPS(my expectations are low) but unfortunately, a bad healer is pretty glaring/frustrating.

They tend to do this with every major patch. Minor ones after, all have focus on that 'major' thing they added before that. Think of it as the devs trying to shoe horn everyone into trying out something they wasted all those hours on.

It's hard to kick a shitty party member when the other members don't see anything wrong. Then they turn on you for being the bad guy and the run is further ruined for you instead of the shitty member. Sometimes it's obvious a kick will be welcomed and other times the headache of putting up with a shit party member is actually a better option than the headache of dealing with your party after attempting a kick that out of their own ignorance/apathy they think is unwarranted. For my run, it was the latter unfortunately.

3.15 shouldn't even exist if they got the stuff done on time to release in 3.1

[Taruina]

How dumbfuck retarded does one have to be to die from mechanics in the Chains/Fire-AoE/Ice/Ascalon-slash combo of Thordan extreme? There's always 1 melee who dies to it because dodging is hard.

I mean it's usually a pacing thing for the relics, since it'd be a little brutal to release a new raid and some relic grind at once, but obviously that's not really the case here, these steps would have fit in anywhere. I hope they just dump LoV on the data center, Diadem I don't fucking know.

How many times do they have to change the AoE indicators from solid to hollow and back before just putting it in the fucking game options.

[Kaisha]

Well, it went from filled with blurry edges (stretched texture), to polygonal unfilled+pulse, to polygonal filled+pulse.

Where it's at now is how it should have been at launch. Now to wait for 4.15 for them to add in an option to change the colour. The lane AoEs still need tweaking though, I think they were left untouched compared to round/conal AoE in 3.15.

[kisada]

don't worry. they're gonna put ALL THE FUCKING DEVS ON IT

[Niiro]

don't worry. they're gonna put ALL THE FUCKING DEV ON IT

ftfy

Until people on the OF ask for the /blush emote to have a visual blush like that one cutscene, and that'll take priority over any real QoL additions.

[Destinye]

I liked the clear one that came with 3.1 but I guess people complained about not being able to see it or something...but the pisswater indicators we have now seem to not have helped much because people still seem to have trouble seeing it because they're not exactly moving out of them or anything.
