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

[Korialstrasz]

I'd imagine a lot of people just heard "VIT is the DPS stat!" and completely ignored everything else about it. I've sadly seen arguments come from people asking what stats to meld to their accessories, when somebody would say STR and people would jump in with the TANKS DONT USE STR LIEK OMG shit. Someone breaks it down Barney style as to why they should still meld it, shitters come back with "Tanks aren't DPS!", someone will say that if they really believe tanks shouldn't DPS that they should "stop using VIT accessories then since it raises damage now :^)", etc etc.

Between EX Roulette, Trial Roulette, and two runs of Midas, all have had DRGs with at least two VIT accessories on.
What fresh hell have I stumbled into now?

I was winding down last night and doing melds for random people in Idylshire. A Bard requested a Vit IV on a Aiming ring o.O

Of course I just hit the old meld button took my tip and moved on. Some people don't want to min/max; I get it. Being stupid is a much better option.

Probably wanted the extra HP to survive something in savage. DPS and healers melding VIT to accessories isn't anything new though I wonder if it's even necessary for early progression this raid cycle.

From what we seen..not necessarily unless you're literally jumping STRAIGHT into it, but even then if you were in 210s (especially diadem ones) it's not that huge of a problem. Sephirot EX can push your shit in pretty nicely if you're riding the ilvl entry so it could be that..but then again, crafted accessories hasn't been relevant for everyone for BiS for ages (especially with Diadem options), so it does seem weird at first glance.

It was a 220 Midan ring, so they gave up their one slot for vit4. It could have been for progression? But not many progression players are looking for a yellow reindeer lala in PF offering melds. I assume they have friends or FC crafters for that. I assume too much probably.

Anyway cheers

Melding VIT on jewelry for progression makes sense, wearing VIT jewelry on a DPS never does. Midas Savage, from what I've seen so far, has just as much-if-not-more of a HP check than Gordias for these early weeks.

I mean "why find a random dude to do it!" is weird--maybe the guy who does melds for his static isn't on and he wanted to get it out of the way before raid time?

Can anyone tell me how to get the NPC chat pop-up box to show up again? Every NPC will talk to me in the dialogue box, but the chat bubble does not show up. Example above

Edit: Found it, was in the very far bottom right corner.

I like how SE say "We don't do X thing because its gonna make things confusing for the players" yet they did something completely silly leaving a good portion of the playerbase confused. If they wanted us to wear VIT stuff they should just have changed STR = 1AP to VIT = 1AP for tanks only, problem solved..

The old system was fine imo. If they'd wanted us to use VIT they should have just made mobs hit like a truck and therefore necessitate it.

The whole issue about not making things confusing makes it sound like they're developing a game for children, not people with basic reading comprehension. My 6 year old can work out things more complex than the stats in this game (although I have brought her up watching me play Dark Souls).

And then the OF healers would be bitching about not having the MP/potency to keep up with the high rate of incoming damage. SE is trying to please everyone and it's become a big clusterfuck.

Just curious, are ppl like this fucktard common? http://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...acter/2376789/
Had him in the trial roulette stand around and literally leech the entire run. First time I see it being practiced THAT openly.

Generally speaking, the more clothing someone has glamoured off the worse I expect them to perform. It's not always true, but it's been a fair gauge for the most part.

Yep, I generally expect the "I like being as naked as possible" and "I like using fat chocobo head" people to be the worse players and a lot of times, they tend to be.

[Cassalot]

Dont you dare hate on the fat chocobo head!

And occasionally you get those special snowflakes who are naked except for fat chocobo head.

And do nothing but die and troll the run in shout the entire time.

[Lujei]

I always get the terrible naked Roegadyns in the Moogle head.
