I am officially over Gigantoads and their whole draw-in tongue attack that they default to when you're an inch out of their standard melee range.

I happen to have ran past a LV.47-ish one while on my Chocobo near Bald Knoll and it got me with the tongue... which pulled me in to aggro like 3 more, which pulled me to them and aggro'd a few more. Before I knew it, I was being gang tongue raped to death between about 6 different toads, sliding back and forth between them all for a solid minute, unable to do a goddamn thing about it.

Granted, it was pretty funny, but it annoyed the fucking shit out of me... and there really shouldn't be any situation where running past something lower level than myself can turn into being draw-in locked to my death.

**Grey Jorildyn** · 2012-03-23 21:39

I've hated that since forever. It should be considered their ranged attack and therefore subject to a long cooldown timer.

yo Eorzea is a dangerous place.

If you're still fighting Moogle with bindspam, you've got a problem, as they now build up bind resistance post 1.21.

My LS totally forgot about that when we attempted the fight for shits and giggles with jobs once thinking we'd be super-buff with all songs on due to having so many BRDs, and got owned in return.

This is one thing that bothers me to. 8 people for a party just seems like an odd number.

**Niiro** · 2012-04-09 13:51

I just wish they'd do away with group requirements for.....everything.

While they're at it revise light/full party bonuses to just a single scaling bonus that increases linearly with each additional party member.

Oh really? I stopped playing around christmas and that was infuriating, between the tree guardian bullshit and linking everything I took a long break.. nobody in my ls even wants to try the moogle now so I was unaware, theyre still failing at ifrit ._. I could look for a better group.. but it seems like anyone successfully doing dungeons atm is not looking for members

**Kurokikaze** · 2012-04-09 23:14

Trying to pimp out my favorite two jobs with Ifrit weapons (DRG and PLD)... get a battleaxe. Time to finish WAR.

**Fondue** · 2012-04-10 13:35

logged on today, worked on warrior quests "Go to a cave north" so I go inside one of those plateau things looking for a cave, see lv74 mobs, turn around, go to the next plateau thing, see more lv74 mobs in a cave.. must be through there, nope I died and the ! on the map was exactly where the instance was at normal ground level thanks for trolling me curious george :D

**Stanislaw** · 2012-04-10 14:11

By the way, when are we going to be able to select the new servers on our profile? I asked this before but I think nobody caught on, so...

**Coyohma** · 2012-04-15 05:52

As the weeks go by grinding AV/CC, playing 3+ jobs every hour is only getting more tedious. Even if you enjoy playing a bunch of jobs simultaneously, which I do not, the slot by slot gear changing is maddening.. Especially when most of the time it will not work completely, and you'll either have to try your macro again or change it manually.

It seems most are fine with the rampant job changing, but I think it's weak how you just change room-by-room and streamroll everything based almost purely on the job composition. Not very satisfying. Maybe it'll take 10 or 15 job changes in the Crystal Tower to really make it seem cheap to people..

**Niiro** · 2012-04-15 11:41

I agree with the job changing bit but for fucks sake they need to fix macros and gear changing.

It's just another thing that seem to have had working perfectly fine in XI but have somehow managed to fuck up royally the second time around.

It's such a massive annoyance to have to hit equip macros 2 or 3 times just to get everything to swap properly nvm the ridiculous delay between each swap that forces you to blink for

every

single

piece

of

gear.

**Raldo** · 2012-04-15 12:53

I don't know how they managed to fuck that up. Gear changing isn't hard, so why are macro lines getting skipped?

**Grey Jorildyn** · 2012-04-15 13:00

Back when macros were slower this never happened. Ever since they sped them up (moogle patch iirc?) they skip lines in laggy areas. Everyone complains about it :/

**Niiro** · 2012-04-15 13:06

That's what I said right after the change, faster macros are great and all but when you have to hit them multiple times to get them to work it's one step forward two steps back.

I'd prefer they revert it back to the way it was tbh, but either way it's still messed up.

**Lokus** · 2012-04-15 13:38

I don't mind the rampant job changing honestly. Almost feels right at home considering other FFs used this to a certain degree. With the ability to change out in the field and how fast leveling is, it's almost like they meant for us to play various classes for content.

But yeah, I love nuking with STR rings or enmity gear on cause my macros decided to take a break on me. Aside from fixing how macros function, they should just handle class/job changing based on last composition similar to how our action bars are setup. Change your weapon and you're immediately geared up with what you had equipped last.

random wrong thread indeed

**Niiro** · 2012-04-15 20:36

Wrong random thread.

Unrelated:

What the fuck is so hard about farming tapers/keystones? I'm so goddamn tired of 20-30 minute breaks between runs because people can't comprehend that going off by yourself and farming keystones from R50 mobs that can drop 2 at a time is MUCH MORE TIME EFFICIENT THAN DRAGGING A PARTY OF 8 TO KILL THE STUPID GODDAMN NMS.

If you don't have tapers/stones don't join the goddamn party and waste other people's time and/or expect them to farm them for you ffs.

**miokomioko** · 2012-04-16 00:15

Unmarked Keystones are so stupid easy to farm from Wolves in your own time, there's no excuse. Inferno Tapers, however, you can easily farm between runs without holding anyone up. I can't imagine having to wait for someone to get some Tapers... you should never ever be accepting a teleport to Gridania without 5+ of them in your inventory.
