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

[vrumpt]

I'm gonna make a macro next time i'm in there and spam it Ramuh style.

[Raldo]

Spend all day doing dungeons for zodiac items to avoid as much of that iLvl sync as possible, get no drops

first zodiac 16/82 (~20%) dungeon runs

this zodiac 8/73 (~11%)...

Yes, I realize there are people with far worse results

Complain; get drops. 10/75

Price of materials to make Vanya Silk (philo mats for i70 gear): 90k

Price of materials to make Cashmere Cloth (mytho mats for i90 gear): 9k

It's real nice and all that SE figured out the 9x item for 1 synth thing was fucking retarded but they forgot to go back and fix it.

[Corrderio]

Unless it's a setting I skimmed over, there not a way to show a numerical countdown on abilities that are on cooldown.

Wait until you see the price of Tawny Latex.

There is in the help window when you mouse over a skill, cause that's totally helpful.



On a more (actually) helpful note, there's an ACT plugin that lets you do this, and it just got an update that added an English translation earlier today.

You can set timers for whatever you want and put them wherever you want.

[Corrderio]

Figures one of the things they did right in V1 they removed in V2.

Anyway thanks for the tip. I really want that for my Ninjutsu critical ability.

[Alistaire]

trying to keep my cool here

0/64 copperbells

i swear to god complaining here works wonders everytime

Complaining in game works too.

Somethin about the i70 mats being used for crafting books, other synths, etc. As far as "SE figuring out it was retarded" the only thing they ever acknowledged was back when some i70's took 9, and some took 18, and drg pants took 27.

[Hiryo]

Vanya silk is 40k nq around here thanks to bridesmaid tights desynthesis.

[Andradi]

Is it? The only ones I remember being cheap are rose gold and hard hippo leather. Always seems to be 50k+ when I look.

[Hiryo]

Yeah its not as cheap as those because its a 12,000g item at base. But the only rewards are 1 twinthread, 2 twinthread, vanya silk, Clear Demi and fieldcraft 3. So, for 90k gil, you have the chance at 4 nq/hq vanya, 4 FCIII, and at worst, 4 NQ twinthread or 4 clear demis

Edit: Random Complaint - All the posts I'm seeing about ARR having mediocre story, music, battle systems, character design, item implementation etc. You guys (posting this stuff days before patch and an expansion on the horizon) are killing my vibe

[Prothescar]

it upsets me how shit bravura atma looks compared to the standard one

[Rocl]

it upsets me how shit bravura atma looks compared to the standard one

are we looking at the same axe

[Andradi]

are we looking at the same axe

One is a massive hunk of metal honed to a blade so sharp just looking at it might cut you.

How do we make it better? COVER IT WITH JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM

Bhujs > all that shit though, looks closest to the original XI one too.

[Arthars]

ragnarok is nice

goes well with my high allagan tank glamors

[kisada]

oh how i wish i could wear the axe with my pld pvp set

SE is getting so lazy with content design now that they don't even bother to add an extreme version of the primal. 2.1 came with 3, 2.3 comes with 1, 2.5 comes with 0. We haven't even had a hard mode that was worthy of the label "hard" since Titan. I don't like the direction this is going. Everything in this patch is faceroll easy.

On the plus I can clear everything once this week and go back to playing other games because there's no reason to do these fights more than once if you don't care about vanity. New dungeons are trash too unless you need poetics for off job but that was expected so not really a new complaint.

At least the Gold Saucer next month should be fun, lets have the next patch already.

[Kaisha]

2.2 through 2.4 all had an extreme introduced with the new primal it brought out.

Gold Saucer coupled with WoD likely took a good chunk of their production budget.

Given how many people bitched and complained for eons about Titan HM, it's not surprising they backed down. Now casuals can feel like they accomplish something when they do story/dungeons and everyone else can farm harder content. Boring the elite and keeping the 90% of the folks not doing Coil happy is good for business.

I've love to see data on population percentages of who's clearing FCoB, who's clearing Shiva EX pre-echo, ilvl by population, etc.
