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

[KCem]

Nocturnal stance?

It's cheesy as fuck, but damn effective. I want to start putting emotes onto my hotbars just to really rub the salt in.

[Silenka]

Yeah noct stance on AST is pretty damn broken in certain fights/situations. Great for PVP too. Instashield has so many great uses.

I've also lost track of the amount of ninjas this week in DF who are rocking STR accessories.

full right side no less

[Deathbringer]

~90% of DF/pug healers that do better than my static's healers because they know how to cast esuna/leeches.

Also, regression in A3S is a bitch :/

[Ragnus]

Been doing A1N for some quick Healing accessories. The amount of people who totally ignore adds is ridiculous. I get the stacking on Faust tactic, but there's no reason I should be getting shrunk during Oppressor.

I came across one like that last week (I was DRK.) I asked them why & they said "trust me I am gonna steal enmity & that % parry will be welcome." I didn't know if he was serious or trolling, all I know is that his DPS was horrendous.

TIL: Stone Vigil HM's second boss (cannons + turtle) has an enrage.

Holy fuck.

There's bad, and there's that bad.

Yeah, I swear they put in those enrages just so you know you can't go any lower than the people you're with.

[Worm]

I think those enrages are there because a lot of the content is designed to be pretty fun and challenging, then it's just went through and various things are yanked out or changed. Like that story about the second boss of the Aery from the last Live Letter. So it probably had a real enrage but then they just added 5 minutes on it

Haha I did a1n as drg. I'm fighting south and adds spawn. Grab mine and am killing them under the laser when a healer runs over to me from north with two adds on him. Then runs around the place like a headless chicken. I could imagine him panicking at the screen shouting help at the screen lol

A majority of players are currently choosing the beast tribe token as their reward for beast tribe quests instead of Venture Scrips. Therefore, we're considering to remove Venture Scrips from the available rewards so players can obtain the tokens easily and add Venture Scrips to the list of available items that you can purchase from the vendor using tokens instead.

Gee, how about they just.....make it like the Ixali where you get both a venture and a token.

[Worm]

I guess giving you both the token and the venutre would just be too much of a reward.

I think it's a top tier idiot check, they should leave it in

Give both as a reward for the FATE quests.

That shit can take forever; if you're patient enough to wait around, you deserve it.

[The Stig]

Got DRG to 58
Started the HW quests

... the amount of times I needed to return to Observatorium (south of Camp Dragonhead) holy shit ...
Why can't he haul ass over to Ishgard already.

[Sho]

Guildwork is down.

Mayad.

I just drop any Fate except sometimes Kobold and Sahagin and just do Vanu with the left over credits, the XP isn't terrible and I'm reaching a point where I'm going to have to stop doing Sahagin soon anyway since I'm capped on shells.

Are gathering percentages even what they say they are? Leveling MIN and BTN and it's seriously frustrating how often I miss three times in a row on an 80% gather item.

They are - However in SE's infinite wisdom you'll get checked for HQ/NQ percentages regardless of what you're striking. So while you have a say, 80% NQ rate, you'll get checked for the HQ rate and constantly miss if it's say, 5% success, so while yes you still had a 20% chance to fail, 80% is still pretty successful that you should never miss every swing.

I've missed 3 times in a row on a 95% NQ item but succeeded on the 5% HQ every swing, so RNG is RNG but it's pretty apparent the checks they use is wonky.

Okay, I'll bite. I literally cannot comprehend what you're saying and I think you're just confused about how probability works. Streaks happen.
