Random Complaint Thread. No white knighting allowed.

[TStupified]

Here's a complaint: After nearly a hour and half of blackscreens, I finally got to the starting screen.

SE, please fix this bullshit asap. My token will probably run out of batteries in less than a week because I have to use fucking 2000 passwords each day to get in the game.

And also after all the effort, the lobby is shooting bricks of shit in my face.

I can live with a lot of the complaints and work aruond it while still having fun. But there is this ONE central point that just kills my fun. It´s the complete and utter randomness of the Jobskillups. You basically get EXP in proportion to some random damage you deal. So heavy hitters just roll them in - any jobstyle based on support or teamwork gets jack. You are basically forced to play like a COMPLETE DICK to get the best Skillpoints.

Do Supportspells with Conjeurer? Heck no CHAINSPELL THE NUKES. There is no simple nuking.. all the randomness if that 1-2 nukes per fight might count or if the game thinks your 30 dmg Spirit Darts are so much more Skillfull than your 300 damage nukes. I play an MMO to play WITH people... not to find out that just soloing your way gets you to hog most points.

I was doing some 3 star level 20 leves with a LS Gladiator. I ended up getting far more skill points than he did because on some heals I would get 240 Conjury skill points.

Well hopefully it's only 3 days away from the search function on bazaars...

We all secretly know that there will be no Auction House system..........

Naked moles can go die in a fire. I just spent 30 minutes on a guildleve killing them because I got the "Target is already engaged" bug on every single one D: I even tried the disengage > leave combat > attack thing, but it only let me do a single swing before it went back to being unable to attack. So awesomely I only got exp for 3 of 8 moles because the others all killed themselves on my shockspikes while I frantically cured myself so I got pathetically low physical exp (6 off one of them) and no class skill off them because I wasn't allowed to attack.

#This 8hrs of xp until fatigue is bs. Its more like 48hrs of xp until surplus because skill gain is the most retarded feature ever. Nothing like soloing mobs that take 5 minutes as a conj to get 0-30 skill points.

#And I'm over the fact of using battle leve's for skill/xp . They are only good for money / random gear / guild marks. Unless you want to burn all your anima in 3 days, its way to time consuming running from town to aetherites and not worth the skill gain.

#Lets not forget it takes 10+ minutes to craft 4 things because of the 15+ second delay in every menu action.

#Has anybody tried to throw something away from ur inventory? shit makes me laugh so hard: Go to throw item away > are you sure? > positive? > rly? no turning back now > ok, just want to make sure this is rly want you want to do > finally throw it away. 4 menues just to throw something away.

#Who wants to bet them "fixing" buffing / healing skill will completely screw over casters so we no longer get skill from healing / buffing? DPS ONRY

A) You prolly had Guardians Favour B) You did a leve

Both these things boost skillpoint gain by a lot. I am mostly talking about out-of-leve party play which is messed right now.

[Rocl]

Eh duoing, I was only 100 behind my partner after patch, not too thrilled, but I was 100-200 ahead of him last night

I forgot to add that it seems everything they try to do right, they do wrong:

Being able to repair ppl's stuff via bazaar is a good "idea": But you need to have the item in your inventory to do the repair. And since there is no way ppl are gonna run around w/ 50+ diff repair mats hoping somebody needs a repair, it means you need to buy the repair item out of their bazaar first. Is it so hard for SE to make it so the person (whose item your repairing) just has to have the repair item in their inventory and it auto gets used up upon repair? Because right now you need to: look at the item description to see what the repair item is > exit that menu > purchase the repair mat > repair. So this means ppl can't list their repair mats for dirt cheap otherwise ppl will ninja the bazaar item, so it has to be factored into the total gil your offering to repair the item (i.e 25k to buy repair item > 50k for repairing the item). Thats just soo convoluted and confusing.

And lets not forget that repairing an item yourself brings it to 100%, but having somebody else repair your item only repairs it by 25%. So to get the most benefit you need to npc repair your item to 75% then have a person repair it the last 25%. I don't get that, its as if it costs more to have somebody else repair ur stuff over the npc. and its a bigger hassle.

Good idea on paper, but horrible execution is horrible

Holy shit, I did not know that. What the fuck were they thinking with this? That just encourages everyone to level just about every class just to repair their own stuff.

While I agree with everything else you said, I cannot quite believe this. In Beta Phase 3 I could repair other people's gear from 0 to 100%, as well as my own. I haven't tried to repair anything myself since then, but I find it hard to believe they changed it in the way you're describing, especially since it would suck so bad as you state. Where's the point in repairing anything beyond 75% then at all, given that you don't seem to experience functionality loss from 100>75% and the npc is by far the cheapest option, at least for lower level gear.

I repaired my friends shield that was at 38% (via his bazaar), it only went to 63% (25% increase). It would of been cheaper for him to repair at the npc over making the mats to not even get it to 75%. It blew my mind.

Your repair is broken. Works fine for me, I repaired a friend's shield to 100% (was at 22%), and then he turned around and repaired my rings to 100%.(they were at 40~%)

Anima recharge rate is fucking stupid. They should fully recharge with each leve cooldown or something. I can't count how many times I died today after doing the 6 anima teleport from Limsa<>Gridania and then being thrown back to Limsa/Gridania only to have to use that 6 anima teleport again. God I am down from like 80 to 35 just from one day of doing Blacksmithing local leves. This game is seriously bad they didn't fix shit from the beta, there is even more lag in the menus/battle system than there was during the beta.

L O Fucking L

[Katlan]

nvm on the bazaar repair thing not going to 100%. I just IM'd my friend and he was like "it repaired to 100%, but the chat log only said it repaired 25%" going to kick his ass for not telling me that

[Drako]

how much for a teleport?

[miokomioko]

how much for a teleport?

What?

Are you talking about suggested retail price or Anima costs?

Anima, it depends on where you are and where your destination is... I listed the costs somewhere and I'm too lazy to look for them.

To somewhere outside of your current region: 6 anima
To somewhere inside your current region: 4 anima
To or from an Aetherial Gate: 1 Anima
Return to your homepoint: 2 Anima

I really had hopes... well no.. I really EXPECTED for SE to bring in the things they learned from FFXI into FF14. But 14 more and more seems to be logically flawed at a core level. I can´t even start to imagine what some thoughs were behind their decision making.

Like placing highlevel mobs right next to Starter Zones, basically wasting the Space. Or why make an action based Skillsystem for the Jobs. Just make jobexp you gain = Physical Exp you gain. No way to cheat that system and killing harder mobs with Party play actually gets rewarded.

Been complaining about this and was actually coming in here to let off some steam about the same issues. I really don't see myself playing this game at all if they don't make any signs of adjusting the games obvious flaws within the first or 2nd patches. I mean.. I'm focusing on leveling a craft/gathering class and they don't even have to worry about random skillups. But the fact that theres no auction house, or search function for retainers at the moment makes me have no desire to sell the things I get when I'm done crafting, or waste my time going through every bazaar to find the parts I need for a craft.

[Lucavi]

Falisa has spoken. So shall it be written. SE, you have been forewarned.

[Kirbyprime]

So, wondering, anyone getting a problem where when you use your anima to teleport it just drains the anima then does nothing? I'm currently unable to teleport and whenever I use teleport, I lose the anima than I'm locked out of commands and have to force close FF.
