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

[Damane]

Considering every HM primal past Titan is required for the main story, it makes sense for them to be easy or PUGs wouldn't get past shit.

PUGs allready are complaining about Odin and the new expert dungeons + WoD being too hard... yaie for finally some content you CANT just sleep through. The whining about stuff being too difficult in the OFs is getting out of hand...

only problem i have is atm with WoD, we queued up as 1 full FC pt yesterday multiple times, in the last fight you just cant carry another PT through the fight if they suck lol. but hey they get better at some point after 2 wipes once they learned the mechanics. So i guess it will be on faceroll status in 2-3 weeks. We just save now Tank LB/shields for the phases with the barriers in case the other 2 PTs cant get it down in time, 1 PT not getting the stuff down in time is managabe with just shields and without LB.

PUGs allready are complaining about Odin

Seriously? How can people be so bad at this game? My group waltzed in last night after Coil with no prior experience or knowledge about the fight and one shot it three times in a row. I'd go as far as to say it's the easiest hard mode primal.

[Lyall]

I'm fine with the hard modes being easy but they really should release two versions of every fight. And perhaps instead of calling them hard and extreme call them easy and hard because the "hard" label is anything but hard in this game.

Think of the casuals. Literally, I mean. There's no enjoyment from beating anything on Easy mode. You have to make the folks unable to achieve feel like they're achieving so they give you more dollars every month. That's why everything gives you, well, achievements. It was demoralizing to the general public enough to die to Titan (Hard) for weeks on end. Wiping to Titan (Easy) just makes for canceled subs. Ask Wildstar how it's doing with all of those super-tuned dungeons and whatnot.

[Grey Jorildyn]

I don't understand why we can't have story/normal mode, hard mode (actually casual-challenging) and then extreme mode (very challenging for casuals).

30min + wait time for wod on tank, holy shit

Hey man, gotta let those casual tanks slowly get a full set of i120 left-side gear that has a whole whopping +14 ACC on it so they can miss even on Turn 5!
On that note, why the shit is ACC a secondary stat? It ought to be on everything to varying amounts.

Random complaint: So close, yet so far. Everything's linked and tryable everywhere that I can think of now except the bloody treasure loot window. Hopefully when that is addressed they add meld info as well.

Uh, really? It's more or less impossible to wipe on Levi/Ramuh/Shiva. Compared to those Odin has lots of shit going off and requires attentive healers (and it actually has a threatening tank buster).

I've wiped on all three of those in DF. Leviathan - people not activating the barrier in time. Shiva - tank pointing her the wrong way in sword due to the difference in extreme mode. Ramuh - failing DPS check. I'm sure I'll wipe to Odin too when it comes up in trial roulette however and my opinion may change.

[Detzu]

How many kills are required to see sword and tank coat drop on T9?
I've lost the count at 41...

[Kaisha]

and requires attentive healers (and it actually has a threatening tank buster).

Has anyone tried solo healing it yet? My DF-impression leaves a lot to be desired because my offhealer has always been shit. Tried it on my SCH originally, and the raid kept dying to AoEs, so I tried WHM, and then.....the raid still kept dying to AoEs (dodging simple patterns is hard), and now the MT was too since the SCH wouldn't precast shit.

Really disappointed in the non-event that was Demon Wall v2 in hard mode. Did it this morning, wiped to it (brd there must've been just hitting minimum ilvl), get back and you just...pick up where you left off with the timer reset.

[Rocl]

What happens when you run out of time? Didn't even come close when I did it ;;

[Niiro]

I didn't even realize there were supposed to be Demon Walls in that fight.

[Rocl]

Also figured the final boss was supposed to be a knock-off gimmick boss like Titan/Demon Wall but was disappointed as hell

I was also disappointed at how bland his arena is. By far the most budget-tier battle arena in the game.

Also someone remind me wtf that one zoneline in CT was supposed to be for, since it only saves you about 2 seconds of running with an SSD load time, and time lost if you're on a lolPS3.

Really? I thought you would have to start over lol, that's too bad.

[Corrderio]

Allagan Catalyst only making i110 weapons. I don't why it bothers me, but it does.

I've love to see data on population percentages of who's clearing FCoB

According to a player run lodestone census held last December.
Less than 1% of the NA/EU population has cleared FCOB. JP servers are about 3%ish.

He basically has a web crawler going through the Lodestone every couple of months. Compares current player stats to previous result to determine if that character is active, the checks if they have the Loui minion.

Check results for your own server here.

That's awesome. I'll check it out at home, my shitty work browser is only showing zeroes for all data.

Did WoD with my coil static last night, with 6/8 of us being there for the first time and knowing only the bare minimum of mechanics. We died here and there since we were new and despite that still parsed highest as a group overall. We got called out on volunteering to be eaten during Cerberus because we were "not as well geared" to do it. What
