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

[Corrderio]

Are you on an AMD card? Used to sometimes get stuff like that alone with periodic slowdowns and crashes until enabling the low LOD settings as per here.

Yep, on an AMD Pro Raedon 6800 IIRC. I'll give that a go.


Anyway... Shiva farming PTs and people that don't know what clockwise is. I wonder why I stick around after 5 wipes...

[Kaisha]

They should have never removed the Primal Ex trio requirement from Mog/Levi and above.

Shiva EX is by far one of the easiest Primals on its release, and people fuck it up repeatedly.

[Corrderio]

I'm still baffled how it's possible. Shiva is a joke compared to Ramuh, and yet people still wipe. Ramuh (and by extension, Moogle) are on my "fuck this shit list" and Shiva isn't even remotely close.

Sometimes I think I should just pound away at my relic and just ignore the knives to save myself the aneurysm.

[Qeomash]

The only thing I find difficult about Shiva Ex are the damn sky circles.

Took me quite a few attempts to get my knife... but many more for Sword/Book.. the Book(SMN) Was my bane for a while, like 30 kills... took my brother well over 45 before he even saw a single bow (though we were with premade so he won it)

The only thing I find difficult about Shiva Ex are the damn sky circles.

Our group generally just straight up ignores them and cures through em lol. Even the tanks unless the safe spot is close.

Can't connect to patch server on PC. RIP.

[Akiyama]

So yeah, getting this:

Server not responding for assistance with the issue please contact http;/sqex.to/x4w (Which doesn't work)and the error code [30413][1009][10019]

and have never had this issue before until now. Haven't changed any network settings so I don't get what's up.

Update: Fixed the problem by changing the primary DNS. ._. such a simple fix I wish I figured out first.

I didn't mean the AOEs themselves. I meant the flying circles above the actual AOE marks that can make seeing the real ones annoying. But, yes, I tend to ignore the ignorable ones because deeps.

Spamming DF primals during bright light (with the amount of healers AFKing right at the start and other random general douchiness) makes me want to never heal again once I'm done with that crap.

[Shadowhusky]

Okay, what the hell. Past even items are now locked behind an actual pay wall? Instead of from the vendor like before? This pisses me off.

Was there ever a vendor for stuff that wasn't carried over from 1.0 first? And you can thank the OF for suggesting missed event items being buyable from the cash shop for stupid prices.

[Selamis]

More than anything, I want this shit to stop. I've updated to a new driver every release since ARR came out and this is still not fixed. No other game crashes the driver like XIV does. Goddamn.

If you are overclocked, try underclocking or going back to default settings. I had this issue for about two months straight all of a sudden after a year of no issues what so ever. No matter what driver version I tried, XIV crashed (always doing clean installs and using driver sweeper), I even did a fresh install of the game, and Windows 7, still crashed. No other games on my pc would crash, I ran ram tests, I did stress tests, pc never over heated or anything. I finally lowered my gpu clock offset by -63 mhz and have been 100% stable with no crashes the last month.

[Niiro]

Overpower needs to be usable without a target like Glory Slash (conal PvP attack for PLD).

So annoying when a pack of mobs are spaced such that they could all fit within the conal radius but only if you directed the attack in a direction that none of them are currently at.

[Lokus]

Not sure if it's really a complaint because I do get some enjoyment out of it (delicious tears etc.) but it is irritating that people lose their shit if you tank Bone Dragon in the center of the arena in CT or if you don't take Chimera out of the cave and up the hill. Must be a Primal center thing.

Primal server in general is crap. I've been doing random fights just to do something in DF and the player base is worse then I imagined. 1 wipe quits in SCoB. Emo tanks that insist on MTing but can't keep hate, mouth breather healers and DPS putting out sub 200 numbers. I can't imagine what this game is like for people grueling their way through DF for content. Anything harder then dungeon content is drain bramage. SE has their work cut out trying to cater to their entire audience.

[Arthars]

met a JP douche yesterday if it makes you guys feel any better!

he wait 1 min between pulls in tam tara, because the sch is "new" to dungeon (yummy soldiery bonus)

he keeps asking sch if hes rdy for pull

sch then replies "im foreigner" and then the tank rage quit

[Neon_Sea]

Thats a racist not a douche, not really much of that on NA side at least from what I experience. Had this snowcloak run where we got the hap and the ice things that blow up. Me and the monk run past everything into the cave area, the tank just sits there and fights the hap. Me and monk die from pulls some bs. The tank proceeds to cry about how we should kill what he pulls, as we have me an 115 blm but he wants to tank a solo hap..So the monk puts him on blast and he continues with the typical, "when you come tank you can do what you want" response. Most annoying shit, and the typical whm that just sits there silently and never cast a dps spell the whole run...ugh not making this Zodiak shit easy.

I've been wondering if this is a NA thing or if the sample size in Primal is just so large we just have a higher concentration of morons. Sometimes people from other DCs post and I think they're crazy for having such nice experiences in DF or Frontline consistently.

[Kaisha]

I don't know man, I'm still slightly depressed over that recently posted Louisoix minions chart from the T13 thread a few days ago and how little Primal in general has them.

Granted our FL experience probably boiled down to both of us being on Flames.

[Seravi Edalborez]

Granted our FL experience probably boiled down to both of us being on Flames.

Been wondering about that. Part of the reason I picked up FL again was that I tried some solo queue on an alt and it was a very pleasant experience on average.

Said alt was in Adders.
