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

[Niiro]

I assume he's talking about the class quests added in 3.0, which you can't do without doing the MSQ.

[Lujei]

The rolling egg mount doesn't exist yet.

And another BRD in expert who doesn't use Minuet even after being asked nicely... This shit triggers me hard. Whenever this happens the BRD can count on being kicked as soon as the clock hits 85:00 (always queue with a buddy /thumbsup).

I do this to trigger people. When the kick timer comes up i see if i can get the vote kick in faster so they vote out their friend. It's good fun.

[Twilight Sky]

..It never occurred to me until both of those posts. Usually when I notice DPS is really slow, we'll have a BRD or two BRDs >.< Correct me if I'm wrong here, but WM plants a BRD. I always see BRDs moving all over the place.

no you dont

[The Stig]

Getting Aetherial Research Facility, with the castration of our ilvl, is really horrid. Fastest clear I can do at the moment is around the 25 minute mark but it feels way longer

[Hioki]

You can play anything bad enough to see what people say. Ffxiv doesn't have enough drama and people are to boring to not want to trigger. I've done it twice and had it happen to me once. If you want to see some upset people. Queue up as a tank and 'walk' through a dungeon.

[Lyall]

Every single time I get Ravana for my trial roulette, the other tank goes off of the side at phase change. It's bad enough the damned fight takes 10 minutes, but it's annoying to see people willingly kill themselves so they can tab out or whatever the fuck. Happens too often for it to be idiots.

The only fun component is watching people with mentor tags fuck up or misplace mechanics. Mentor healer hit multiple people with charges, blew them up during the cross fire and stood behind me during hadoken spam.

Lol it's not like you'd be getting a reaction from me. I usually just write "Can you pls put up Minuet?" and if I get a shitty answer, I just wait until the clock hits 85:00 and initiate the kick myself. Why bother bitching? It's literally the stupidest thing one can do in DF and a 100% lose/ lose situation.

Not so much that it roots you. It just gives all of your GCDs cast timers. Which is a pain in the ass in terms of play style shift but it's about as stupid as a DRG doing 123only, a 60 BLM doing a 2.0 rotation, etc.

But I have seen some awful BRDs in my day (awful DPS in general) so it isn't necessarily because they aren't using WM. One of many reasons.

Hey look, the Library. Oh look, the healer left. Requeue time. Yay, the Library. Bye tank.

Seriously, what the fuck is peoples problem getting that dungeon for a roulette then leaving? Bitch, it ain't AV.

Uhh..basically any dungeon that takes a tiny bit of brain power people seem to auto leave. The only reason people don't auto bail on the EX dungeons is that's your only source of a lot of Lore unless you do Savage/Farm Sephirot. Though people do seem to bail on Lost City after the first boss..I guess because most terrible tanks and healers can't handle the pulls.

Expert is tough since the bads hang out there. I never touch dungeons unless forced. Did an expert last night with a ~300 DPS i210+ BRD, a single mob pulling ~250 DPS i210 PLD. Taking 10 min to get to the first boss is ridic.

Between Alex, Hunts, Pvp, EX mobs there is no reason for a decent player to step into a dungeon.

Yeah, I honestly only did both once just to get it unlocked and when I had to help a friend yesterday I noticed that the Wind-Up Viking/Magus use TaruTaru animations. That's probably the only highlight of those dungeons for me lol.

For the past few days I've had issues with... well, I don't want to say lag, because the game itself is otherwise smooth (movement, dodging, etc). A few times I've had combos just not show up, but still register when I hit the button (Impulse Drive, Disembowel does not light up, hitting it anyway procs Chaos Thrust, etc), and other times nothing happens at all as if I had missed, despite not missing. Also a moment ago in VA I had used Blood of the Dragon and had it go on CD, but didn't get the buff from it. It wasn't a visual issue either, as ACT didn't pick it up in the log to display the timer for it.

Maybe packet loss? That's definitely weird.

I tend to get groups that have trouble with the first boss and last, so that maybe why healers and tanks bail.

Common problems with first boss: DPS don't wanna avoid the line AOEs. Get caught in book, other mess.

Common problems with last boss: DPS likes planting orbs in weird spots/by the tank, forcing tank to move boss. Not standing on pads when needed, etc. Getting caught in big AOE.

This basically ties in with healers have high work load because all that damn healing/esuna'ing.

The DF population in general has gotten fucking atrocious on Primal. It's the only real sign I have that a lot of the good players left the game during the drought that was 3.0>3.2.

Nevermind trying to PF Sephirot either with players who can't follow simple instructions and getting people killed on first phase still.

So many unnecessary wipes.

"Oh, I thought when you said plant the purple behind sephirot's tail you meant run it to the back of the arena ontop of all the other green circles spread out."

"Oh...so you don't touch the blue circle? I thought that indicated the safe zone because when I got my clear we had no issues standing in them and not dying." (said SMN came into the farm PF claiming to have seen 1% constantly and didn't get the achievement on clear because he was dead)

"Oh...so I need to actually do more than 1 flash/unleash/overpower/SC on the Binahs?"

Ugh.
