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

[Niiro]

I never, ever get DCed either, only the brief 1-3s hangs with the very rare occasional "oshit" 5-10s pause (and again, only in final coil).

I can't remember the last time I was actually kicked from the game.

[Kiarax]

I've had that since 2.4 dropped, playing NIN is just an effort in frustration, I gave up even attempting to coil on tuesdays because it's at its worst then.

Kicking people from DF parties, only to have them rejoin

Did a High Roulette and had a whm+brd that were obviously new (i60ish), but they were nice and honest about having no idea what they were doing, and I was bored/happy to help. Had a i120ish drg that was just berating them for sucking and not being awesome, so he would just sit there, not engaging anything and just continue to be a general moron. Kicked him after he sat behind the line for the first boss, and he immediately rejoined lol. Ended up having to three man Haukke Hard with 2 completely new people. rant rant rant

DPS in Trial Roulette : Ramuh HM can't count to three.

[Seravi Edalborez]

HM is just poorly designed because he only makes 2 ground thunderbolts at a time instead of EX's 4. So you need to (counter-intuitively) leave one wave alone if there are no balls up and a tether needs breaking.

[Ratatapa]

people break tether in HM?

Far as I can tell the orbs don't have any effect on thunderstorm damage, so there's no need to pick any of them up unless it's break tethers.

[Hiryo]

I hate Ramuh HM because if someone just so happens to clear the orbs during 2hr (a perfectly reasonable thing to do) and the 1st tether picks up the ONLY 2 orbs on the map, they get yelled at such an easy and non-life threatening mistake. It's like people live on calling out people no matter if its called for or not.

(inb4 "i bet you get every tether as monk :kappalq

It's like people live on calling out people no matter if its called for or not.

People like to inflate their ego's however they can.

[miokomioko]

If people can't leave any orbs up for breaking tethers, I just go back to spamming skills, reduce my fuck-giving to 0, and just blame the healers when I die.

[Niiro]

Everything you craft is automatically added to the Favorites menu, meaning you can't control what's in it, largely defeating the purpose of a Favorites menu.

When clicking a recipe on the hotbar, if said recipe is in your Favorites it takes you to the Favorites menu, rather than its normal place in the crafting log, which means I can't use Speaking Tube Component and Escape Flyer component as shortcuts to all of the Rev Toll and Dragonhead daily recipes respectively.

Just remove the Favorites menu.

[Dammerung]

You can 'pin' things to the favorites menu then they stay there...

[Niiro]

I....was not aware of that.

[Edelweiss]

To be fair, it wasn't in when they introduced it and only came along recently.

[The47thSen]

It's named Favourites in the english version?

The jp client just has it as history.

[Kaisha]

Yeah. Same thing functions for both, so the name of it is inaccurate in both cases.

Ditch the Extras label and slap a proper History tab there instead.

[Corrderio]

I can use Lay of the Land/Arbor Call while on a Chocobo, but not Truth of Mountains/Forests.

[Kaisha]

I can use Lay of the Land/Arbor Call while on a Chocobo, but not Truth of Mountains/Forests.

I made a gearset macro for this reason. Switches job, then pops Truth right after.

Final Coil of Repeatdropsforfreelot

4th Scouting Feet (one 1st, one 3rd loot priority)
4th Scouting Head
3rd Striking Head (one 1st, one 3rd)

[Corrderio]

Carry me so I can take the scouting!

Also, getting penalized for "abandoning" a dungeon run that I was the only member of. Joined and no healer, then the tank disappeared, then the BRD disappeared. So I go to abandon and now I have the 30 min. wait BS.
