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

[Fiye]

I have it set to Ctrl+Z. Its something I had built in from blighted boquet and never though I'd have to rely on again lol.

Server Transfer is also held to the character limits that new characters have. Your best bet is to do new character at late hours.

As been said, just chiming though because I'm shamefully the all-time leader in server transfers, but it will bypass SE's stupid character limit. It's how people get on Balmung and Gilgamesh, and really the only way to get on them.

And SE likely knows about it, but that's more money for them.

[Destinye]

It's why SE won't ban botters and such because they need all the $$ they can get when XIV experience huge dips.

[Yuri-G]

it's not a really a complaint, but close enough:


2x BRD 2x DRG
PotD
no abilities, gloom, no serenity in our bag
FINAL DESTINATION BOYS, LET'S DO THIS


we came so close to wiping after an unexpected luring trap. but it was fun!

[Deathbringer]

Who messed with the servers this time?!?

[Hitoshura]

Sucks, I was at least 2 expert's from capping. Oh well.

[Yuri-G]

holiday event has furnishings, an orchestrion roll, and one outfit


>.> y u no mounts or minions, Square Enix?

[Edelweiss]

Really wish these weekly Casting/Healing/Striking drops could be turned in for Manifestos.

It's pretty ridiculous that we've never seen a Fending drop in 9 and 10.

[Alistaire]

Sucks, I was at least 2 expert's from capping. Oh well.

My raid group was/is probably 1 run from a12s clear and this flat out cancelled our run yesterday, got to 16% the previous run with the mistakes pretty much figured out.

[Hitoshura]

Our Healer's mother passed away and 2 other members are going to be mostly gone until the end of the month because Holidays/Vacation and out of town. This kind of sucks, but I have been leveling Ninja. I am hoping to find a party to at least get my A10S clear this week.

[Yuri-G]

get to 60/60 aetherpool wooooooooo
...you need to finish floor 100 before you get Kinna?!


DAMN MY IGNORANT HIDE


I mean I'm on 80 so w/e, just sucks. I should have paid more attention.


as long as I'm here, question for you vets:


is Wiping City of Salt really as bad as people say? has it calmed down with time and gear progress? I was planning on grinding Mhach to gear left side with a combination of drops and lore, which I'll probably do anyway, but... what am I getting myself into? lol

[Ratatapa]

Got a fucking slow run of POTD today floor 71-80 iirc.

People were killing fucking everything for no reason.

So i was going all alone opening chest and just sitting at the teleport.

at floor 79 guy MT (I kinda guessed it anyway) We gonna kick him before boss so that way he'll have wasted time.

Yeah right I fucking pulled the boss before that and almost soloed it due to incompetence of them.

that run took us 45minutes btw

Typical cycle of content, at least on NA data center. It's not hard, people just love to ignore mechanics, not know how to play their jobs (especially tanks) so due to how old it is now, you'll likely get an alliance that can get through it no problem, but it was indeed nicknamed wiping city for a reason when it was introduced, because people can't differentiate between their left and right. Literally all you have to do for one mechanic on a boss is take your indicator to the back platform and left of your platform on the ring. People fail that spectacularly.

So it's calmed down, but it also suffers from "I R HIGH ILVL I R IGNORE MECHANICS EVEN THOUGH THEY CAN STILL WIPE US." syndrome.

[Yuri-G]

So basically WoD a year or so ago, when it had been out long enough to be easy but people still wiped to Garms because "lol whats positioning the mob correctly idk?" And don't get me started on CoD wipes... people still wipe to that because putting down three markers at the beginning of the battle is hard.


Gotcha

[Yuri-G]

ah yeah that was... interesting. wipe on arachne, wipe once more on forgall, half the alliance jumped ship, vote abandon.

well whatever. I got to keep my hat drop so screw the haters and quitters!

[Hitoshura]

So with most of my members out with vacation time or other IRL stuff this week, I had to PUG for the 1st time and thankfully I found a shockingly decent group using PF on Sarg, and to my surprise ONE chest dropped despite having a person with a clear. Alexander Fending Visor drops, Of course I fucking lose the roll on it. Thankfully for once the Shire gear in this situation actually superior in stats and will be upgraded to i270, meanwhile the Alex visor has that puke parry stat.... but MUH GLAMOURS.

I then definitely lost rolls on gobdip and the damn micro tomestone which the same tank who won the Visor got, FML

The only good news is that I still got my page which puts me at 5/6 and next will I will be able to get a piece of armor I actually want!

[Kaisha]

Just the fact A12S doesn't drop any upgrade items. Maybe if they kept body/weapons to 4 pages instead of 8 I'd be less annoyed about this.

But then you'd be done with the content quicker and the main progression update pattern of every 6 months won't "last" D:

I kind of agree but it would be nice if A12s books had more use. I'm pretty much done with Creator and knowing that I can only get Coats from A10S every 4 weeks isn't exactly motivating.

If A12S books could be used for Body/Weapons/Coats/Twines/Dips it would at least add to alt progression (or main)

[Yuri-G]

tfw you finish PotD and remember what 45+ minute queues are like... anyone else know what I'm talking about here? lol

I forgot that this was a thing. queueing all day errday in less than 5 minutes was so nice!
