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

[Damane]

T8. Just... T8.

All those people who whine about how Second Coil is now easy babymode a-one-armed-monkey-could-clear-it-now has obviously never seen what happens when you let the overall playerbase in there. And the people who think a "story mode" Coil at that exact difficulty without any reward would have anyone playing it in are just deluded.

It's like people don't remember how to do basic, game-wide mechanics like "watch for debuffs" or "get out of ground aoe" or whatever.

ive tried 3 times to DF T8 when i had time and because why not. the amount of facepalms i made was unbelievable. if the wipe didnt happen phase 1, it surely happened 99% in phase2 on ballistics, and the rest 1% failed to allagan shield. So yeah peoplw are still far away from facerolling it. the only people facerolling it are the ones that do fcob and have 2.cob done for months.

but then again if you dont have exp shit like that happens and gets obly greater the more peeps without exp attend the fight.

i would like a 30 sec global cooldown on all abilities on job change, it's annoying that things like hallowed ground and other abilities with long cooldowns get basically "used" and you have to wait for its normal cooldown period.

lolpvp, but just had a frontline game where I was focusing summoner to burn. I'm always MNK, with fist of wind up to keep up in the game of chasing people.

The summoner had no sprint at all. I know this considering thats what I watch for in case I need to weapon throw to dispel it. With fist of wind up, I could never, ever manage to catch up to him. I didn't have heavy on either.

Pathetic shits who need to hack. Wish I could have caught his name by doing an emote on him.

I just thought this was latency. I've run away from people on mounts before and they would dart up right behind me and hit me with heavy somehow. Same crap with bards shooting through walls every time.

[kisada]

for sure people use speed hacks in frontlines.

The Dart at the enemy is a PVP action I think MNK and NIN (at the very least) get, "Overwhelm" Rushes to a target and damages them. Also, Weapon throw, 20% chance to inflict Heavy, removes sprint.

MNK also have an attack that does that as well, and you might just be getting Mount Heavy from being hit.

[Kiarax]

Weapon Throw is guaranteed heavy if hit from behind (I think they changed it to side too? idk havent PvP'd in months), its a 20% slow, not a random chance to inflict it.

Then the tooltip is outdated, which I'm not deny of course, cause I'm reading it right now.

"Delivers a ranged attack with a potency of 50.
Additional Effect: 20% Chance to inflict Heavy
Duration: 6s
Additional Effect: Removes Sprint effect."

Which is where I got it from.

[Kiarax]

Yeah its been like that since PvP came out and was wrong back then, dunno why they've never fixed it (actually I do, because PvP is a complete afterthought in this game) but it was always a 100% proc from behind back then, I feel like I remember reading in patch notes they expanded it to work from other directions but I'm not 100% since I haven't touched PvP since resubbing.

[Charismatic]

I haven't touched PvP since resubbing.

lol, I thought it was part of the reason you even wanted to come back! GDI Jam-chan!

[Kiarax]

Nah, Frontlines is pretty shitty, was a fun distraction when I played with Shiyo since we could actually dumpster groups of people but that shit is no bueno solo and none of my friends who actually play have any interest in PvP (or are any good, lol).

[Rehn]

Part of the fun of frontlines for me is trying to adapt. My friend and I who queue as MNK NIN for 90% of the games, tend to enter teams where there are 0 healers.

B duty is easy as this: zerg nodes and assist sides. For the most part, we almost never feel the hit of having no healers until mega node. It gets tricky when you're A or C. Getting randoms to listen to you go to the other side instead of feeding points to opposition tends to not click in people's minds.

As this is the complaint thread, I'd like to complain that playing healers must suck in frontlines, and that my team rarely ever gets healers.

[kisada]

most of the best healers stopped healing after the cleric's nerf, at least on my datacenter.

If I wasn't on my phone I'd probably be ranting so hard because of the last series of posts. Maybe later. Lol

Lag spikes we're terrible last night. FC mate ended up DCing in T12 and just called it a night there. So question, since he DC'd in T12 the FC list says he's still in there, is that going to fuck with lockout for this week?

Pretty sure we had someone DC in T9 and remain in that instance in the FC list over a reset (pre-2.4, obviously) and there was no issue with lockout, but don't quote me on that.

It doesn't lock you out.

We had major lag issues in T12 last night as well. We were hoping to clear before the reset too.
