FFXIV Bug/Game Mechanics Problem Thread

[Ksandra]

bug I got last night is an issue trading with another player.

They were trading me 4 items to synth for them. I had 50/80 inventory they had like 45/80 inventory.

we tried trading the items 3 times, each time it said "trade complete". But it didn't actually go through and the other player still had the items.

eventually we tried trading two at a time and it worked.

Only time I've gotten this bug though.

nvm, been covered enough already

2. At one point last night, my linkshell members and I were all able to see someone else's retainer standing at the 'call retainer bell' right there in the Adventurer's Guild in Ul'dah. (pretty sure the retainer's owner was standing there interacting with it) I was even able to target the retainer and browse its bazaar. I didn't try buying anything but it would have probably worked.

Screenshot stuff like this.

Banish and Scourge debuffs don't actually do anything. Can be tested by repeatedly casting one or the other on the same monster, the damage remains consistent. The same goes for applying Scourge and then using Damnation; no damage increase.

I'm theorizing that this is because astral and umbral damage don't exist, only the six basic elements. A popular database website lists Scourge, Bio, and other dark spells as something like 33% earth, 33% water, and 34% ice. Possibly this is the type of damage 'umbral' spells do, but I guess we have no way to find out.

I'm not sure if this was already addressed, but last night I joined a PT with a LS mate, he was in Gridania, and I ran outside to fight a few things - shot at a mob and got message: You could not claim the [mob name] because the party leader is in a different area.

Just to clarify - I was still able to damage the mob but it remained yellow while I was in battle with it.

I started noticing this bug last night and I didn't see it doing a quick browse through the list. I'm pretty consistently CON in my party and without fault at some point in the night during exploring/griding/leves peoples name will start showing up as:
Taco Taru
???/???
as if the person is in a different zone. This is annoying because I don't have any way to see if they're close to dying without targeting them, and that's a pain in the ass in its own right as if I press up for quick target on myself, hit cure, and then start targeting party members, the target won't swap.

Worse off is the new bug I started encountering yesterday where it shows up as dead:
Taco Taru
0HP/0MP
Their name doesn't appear over their head (everyone else stills has theirs) and you are unable to target them. The only way to keep this person alive is stand next to them and spam AoE cures.

Is their a fix/work around to this bug that people have found? I'm having a hard enough time with the targeting system and lag, but adding this to the mix just makes playing CON even more frustrating and irritating to my party members when they have to constantly tell me when they need cures or I just spam cure and end up dying from the hate.

I see this happen on almost every single leve I've been a part of.

Also, if you try transferring shit and moving around too fast on your retainer you can make it wig out and all the retainer windows go away and your retainer is still there. Could be how the above poster could see someone's retainer at the bell. Also, I lost a stack of moko grass mid transfer when this happened. Was in LL adventurer's guild.

Haven't figured out how to trigger this, but I have had it happen. Also the whole pt got no exp for the leve we were doing, and no leve rewards. That was when we noticed it, so we all disbanded and relogged.

Control Bugs:
- Cannot toggle on auto run while typing. (Keyboard & Controller) [High]

You also can't re-engage autorun if you cancel it with the inventory window open.

You can hit 'r' on the KB while menus are open to still to re-engage auto-run; but you are right it can't be done with controller.

ask and you shall receive. came home and logged on and found that the retainer is STILL there... so this retainer's owner is most likely not even there and the retainer is stuck.

While talking to an NPC, you can change to/from 1st/3rd person view using the mouse.

Also, all of the loot that dropped from the mobs in the PT, only I could see in the loot list. The PT leader could not see the items in the list (according to him). I tried to hit "Distribute" and then I clicked on his name - but all of the items still fell to me.

[Snowknight26]

His inventory was probably full.

His inventory was probably full.

Oh, thanks I hadn't thought of that. I will bring it up.

Chatmodes other than say and shout do not work for some people. I logged in at Bloodshore yesterday and everyone else there had the same issue, though moving throughout the world didn't seem to improve things. My LS friends have no problems though.

Encountered a door bug in LL last night. I was running through Thundersticks and was trying to exit out the W door by Bango Zango. The Door would open but I was unable to cross the threshold, my character would run in place as if I was running into a closed door/wall. When I backed away the doors would slam shut, there was no smooth animation. Other people were able to enter and exit without issue but I would just be running in place. I had to go to the Inn, take the lift down, run the long way around up the stairs to get to Bango Zango and enter the door that way. Once I had gone through it the problem was resolved.

The skill bug while in parties of 4-5+ people is probably the worst bug in the game by far currently. This actually stops your leveling progression.

I lost around at least 8000 skill points tonight while partying. It effects gladiators a lot more then other classes. Having 2 or more gladiators seems to bring the bug on more. Me and the other gladiator seemed to alternate getting no skill at the end of the fight, but we saw are points show up in the log while fighting.

Switching from Mining to Botany or vice-versa: upon approaching an interaction point, for several minutes I get "Action cannot be performed at this time", regardless of whether other players are interacting at the point or not.

Also, not sure if this is intended but, interaction points for mining/harvesting/quarry/logging stay visible even after they has been exhausted.

So Frustrating

Spoiler: show

Clock is down to 21 minutes now and still can't log the fucking tree.

Update: I relogged [losing my levequest] and the logging point has vanished. Didn't see anyone else there & that is the point in which my levequest directed me... :/

Graphics Bug: When doing a long chain of equip change macros while moving, pieces of armor/weapon separate from the body for a few a seconds while the character keeps running

Auto-run key stops functioning intermittently

Auto-run key stops functioning intermittently

I definitely noticed that auto-run as well as move left/right (steering while in auto-run) either get stuck or are completely unresponsive for a few seconds while pulling up menus like inventory or gear.

I'm not sure if this would classify as a bug but it sure doesn't seem right.. macro lines execute at a pace of about 1 line per second. Compared to the macro speed of FFXI, the current speed is just.. wrong.

And as these bugs pile up (along with stuff that needs to be implemented), I am really starting to wonder how (and IF) SE is going to fix/implement all this.

Been having the same problem, also I have had 3 R0s as I start to synth, thus losing the synth materials each time.
