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

[Fondue]

a lot of healers dont nuke and thats all it takes to get that prey

[echo]

Yeah, I did an A5S pug a couple of weeks ago and all 4 DPS were good but healers thought they didn't have to DPS and we were getting the first prey.

[Toshi]

I think the healers were dpsing as I saw there spell effects.

We didn't clear it. Dps were killing themselves on prey, tank was moving boss way more than necessary and crit add showed up at 18% with no off-tank pickup. Just cleaved through the group.

[Kaisha]

I don't understand why they made the Mog daily quests be 100% brainless compared to Ixali, where those at least required you to pay attention to your current crafting debuff and adjust rotation as needed.

[Dotsudoku]

they can do whatever they want to the mog dailies so long as it's not class changing between objectives and massive amounts of zone changing. Ixali dailies were truly insufferable

[Purrrfect]

I get why they don't want to have damage meters in the game, but its annoying as fuck when someone in df is trying to blame low damage on you when you are doing twice the damage of the other dps.

Because fuck Ixal dailies thats why. Needing to wear those stupid gloves and all the debuffs were annoying as all get at. And Moogle dailies are meant to be leveling tools like all other HW beast tribe dailies. Ixal were not really meant as pure leveling dailies

[Lujei]

Those Ixal dailies are obnoxious as a low level crafter on an alt. Trying to HQ the items at level ~10 and no subcrafts is terrible.

They definitely weren't intended to be used for leveling at all. The Moogle quests are much better.

[BaneTheBrawler]

concur with ixal dailies being a huge pain in the ass, especially if you're not really into crafting. i ended up just doing the shitty level 5 ones you could just NQ, plus the turn-in you could just buy, for like 2 months straight.

Somehow managing to get a DF group for A8 tonight that was so bad we wiped to the adds that spawn in the 4 corners during the first phase.

I didn't even think that was possible...

I hope to God you're talking about Savage. The piddly adds in A8N haven't been threats since day zero.

Hi, I'm NA DF. I don't think we've met before. I'm kind of a miracle worker. Miraculous stupidity at least.

...okayshutupthatsfair.

My guess about content like that has always been thus: People who wanted it cleared it as soon as it was made available. Then came the slowbies who got to it a few weeks later. We're now several months out of launch, so all of the motivated people are long finished and the only ones still trying to do Alexander are the uninformed and the incompetent. I haven't touched A8 since finishing my midan gears, and that was... Jesus, a long time ago now.

Fun fact: I haven't unlocked savage

[Lyall]

That's so depressing. Was it just new people? How many mentor tags? Did you eventually clear or was it just a vote abandon shit show? I'm both horrified and eager to hear the details.

[Corrderio]

2 wipes in at the same spot and ragequit.

We survived until the orb phase on one run and I ran around like a headless chicken since no one tried to detonate the orb I was tethered to until it caught up with me.

Not sure if new or brain dead. Can't remember much other than the 2 wipes before phase 2.

[Icarian]

Turns out the item needed to get the lore weapon is still locked to once a week, I didn't do A8 normal cause I got all I needed in the earlier turns and didn't know I needed something else besides lore tokens for the weapons.

3 More Nidhogg kills till I can upgrade my 210 weapon, every single kill takes hours upon hours on the PF :<

EDIT: 2 Kills left, this is excruciating, Farm parties are not farming at all, You're lucky to land a single kill in 1 hour, people get to the last phase and just don't know what to do and die.

Just two more...

[Modoru]

came back from work trip, decide to log on and attempt weeping city
alliance wiped to first boss (once)
people started leaving

The higher the ilvl the less you actually have to participate because your inflated-level means that you can go from actually hitting buttons that light up to do a combo to just spamming 1 until you run out of TP and then go afk and smoke and come back when your TP is regen'd to full to resume smashing 1.

Well, people can still wipe to story mode shiva/ramuh.
