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

[Kaisha]

I was having bad lag in my trial roulette 30min ago on Primal despite my connection being clean to the server. Got raid shortly so I'll know if the rest is as bad.

[Silenka]

People in my Primal fc were complaining about lag in duty too. Maybe there's another DDOS or SE's servers are just dying as usual.

[Eleven19]

Same. Three static mates had lag last night in O4S. No red dotting, reported rubber banding and catch up type issues.

[SamanosukeShiva]

Yeah I have to use VPN for FF14 cause I'm on east coast and it's just terrible some days.

[Destinye]

I'm just finding it odd that East Coast players have so much issues when West Coast players didn't have any problems (to the point you heard them complain about "being on the west coast makes this game laggy")..outside of Level3.net issues anyway when the servers were closer to the east coast. Then again I guess the american infrastructure really is that bad lol.

I did notice some weird lag the last few days but I just figured it was because of the maintenance coming up since for whatever reason their servers seem to go to shit every time a maint is coming up or right before a major update.

If you're on RDM in a PUG, obviously they're expecting you to heal yourself.

First GCD trick attack. Why

[Alistaire]

First GCD trick attack. Why

Because you're in 1st coil unsynched and the fight's only gonna last 10 seconds?

[Shenrien]

I see it so much in VS1-4 pugs that I join because I have nothing better to do with my time after I've cleared for the week.

If you're on RDM in a PUG, obviously they're expecting you to heal yourself.

unless you actually do heal yourself, in which case you get yelled at for healing when you should be dpsing


¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"no salt" "leave the salt behind" "no salt pls"

about half the PF I see

I actively advertise my PFs as a salt mine lol

ppl in this game are so legitimately fucking bad I wanted to pull my fucking hair out. Got the Genji DRG weapon and I promised the BRD I'd play it so I had to get some ez left side i320 pieces and fuck this playerbase.

Had a tank who solely stuck to sword oath in O3N even when the drg add spawned. Constantly dragged it not far enough so it'd aoe the party and wipe us.

Then when the MT tanked I had aggro because of course I do I'm a fucking i336 Samurai pulling 4.5k dps and what'd his ass do? Oh, just stayed in sword oath and didn't attempt to use provoke. (I even hit diversion!)

And the worst part about all that? Well he tried kicking me after I called him out on his shit (I only knew because I tried to start a votekick against him and one was in progress).

Well either that or the fact that he was second place on the DPS meter at 2.2k

I mean you're talking about a game where "don't stand in the red poo" is a confusing concept to some people after 100+ hours

More like 20 hours nowadays but at least now they force you to do the level 15 tutorial which makes you unable to progress the storyline unless you can dodge the fucking red circle.

Just got Titan Hard in roulette and all 3 of the sprouts fell off.

[Yuri-G]

I hope you got a laugh out of it at least, that's hilarious

also, this is why we can't have nice things.

Spoiler: show

[Silenka]

Don't worry, once patch rolls out you can send these people angry /tells.

[Fiye]

Hopefully only people on your friends list.

If SE is smart.

[Hellfury]

Had a terrible Bardams mettle pt, the tank was terribad, poorly geared and didn't know what CDs were (if we were to give the benefit of the doubt). Our healer had given fair warning that connection was a little spotty, but the idiot tank insisted on pulling multiples anyway, was terribad and raged. was a silly run, so the healer and dps were having fun bantering, the ank rages, complains about how much better things would be if we'd all just shut up and ragequit on us.

New tank joins, rest of run is supersmooth.
