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

[Alistaire]

Hell, The Aery had a nerf, one of the trash pulls had 4 mobs and they removed one of em because they were a bit tougher than the normal trash mobs.

[Hitoshura]

Wow is that why I steamrolled thru that place the other week in DF? I am trying to get an armor piece to drop and I noticed there was 0 struggle in that entire dungeon. I kind of remember the amount of AoE's making it annoying but nothing running around can't solve.

[Destinye]

They did nerf the whole line of 3.0 dungeons (for storyline purposes I guess) in some fashion iirc.

[Despain]

People still wiping to Ozma...

[Hitoshura]

The last time I ever ran Weeping City when I finally got my tank pants last week after an extra painful run with two tanks that have never ran this before. I had to break down each fight and didn't help that some moron just jumped right in twice on two separate bosses. I vote kicked him so fast after the 2nd time. But once explained, people had still wiped because they didn't stand in the puddles to avoid Mega Death or meteor placement in Ozma. One guy stacked right on the other.

I think I am just going to POTD the rest of my LVL 5 materia when I level Ninja up, QQ city is only getting worse as more players don't even have a reason to run in there anymore leaving newer players mostly. Though I will say skipping out on free LVL 5 materia is not smart. I think some are still 500k a piece.

Did my daily trial yesterday in full gear, knowing I would get nidhogg, to try and help some randoms through it. Had another brd in all 200-210 gear iirc, but I don't think he ever made it to adds w/o dieing once (I don't even know that he lived to first cauterize). And that's not even the worst part. He knew he was basically doing nothing, but refused to accept that he needs to learn and practice. Tried to tell him he really needs to learn to use minuet, and check out some rotations on youtube, but he would say 'I am horrible at dodging' and 'I don't like casting keeping me from moving'. Of course we didn't beat it and had to abandon.

I think one fight I died at the beginning of adds cuz the snake came over and breathed on us, and watched the whole phase go by and I was still top dps at the end lol.

Re-leveled an alt over the past couple weeks, Went through the entire storyline, and still have about 2 days worth of gameplay time on my sprout.

All I know for sure is they flat out removed one mob, I don't remember anything about the rest of it being affected, but I wouldn't put it past them.

Healer LB needs to be 50 yalms like tank LB.

[Fiye]

Did they nerf it or am i confusing it for Mercy?

[Hitoshura]

I honestly thought it covered the entire field but nope, that truly blows if some people died way out of range.

[Kaisha]

LB description says 30 yalms which sounds about right given my experiences with the odd MPK attempt during a wipe w/ LB3 up in A7S/A8S and it doesn't hit the whole party.

Also as annoying is trying to place a pet a similar distance in both those arenas for fairy pre-placing.

Posted a thread about how rampant botting/cheating is in-game and how connected gathering bots have spellspeed/sprint hack options. I was expecting it to get deleted by I got downplayed by defenders by stuff like "FATE botting is actually helpful", "It's much better if players didn't know about it", and "You're giving free advertisement to the bot software". Even had /tells in game asking for names of offenders and claiming I don't have proof...

Well yeah, you don't post anything like that on the OF or Reddit, far too many people ready to defend lol.

Tanks that still insist on bringing Chimera up the hill. FFS, this isn't 2013.

Or healers/DPS that run up the hill while you tank it at the start.....

I think it is old habits that die hard but personally I just hate the "rush everything, ignore everything" because it conditions people to do that even in higher ilvl content and well, we get pretty lazy people overall (even more so.) I noticed whenever I tried to leave Chimera at his spawn the other tank vokes off me and drags it away up the hill.

[octopus]

Woe is me the tank is extending a 3 minute fight into 4! Just be glad you got it from trial roulette lol

[Seravi Edalborez]

The funny thing is half the time they don't take it far enough up the hill or ranged are on the hill and it renders the whole thing more moot than it already is because it's Chimera it dies in like a minute already now unless everyone is i50.

[Mabubeezareel]

It was already an extremely suspect strategy 3 years ago, and it's just plain awful now. Regardless of where it's pulled to, it's just going to get zerged down now anyway, so really no point to moving him.
