FFXIV Bug/Game Mechanics Problem Thread

So many ridiculous, inexcusable bugs.

If you kill monsters with AoE spells (not sure about weapon skills and such), you only get EXP from the primary target.

Example I just killed 8 Thistletail Marmots at the same time by repeatedly casting AoE Scourge on one.

Five died on one cast, three died on the next cast. Each time one died, I got a 'The thistletail marmot is defeated' message, but no items or EXP. When the one I was targeting died, I got regular EXP and items from it.

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.

I'd like to comment on this as well. The responsiveness of the macro, as well as the Ctrl + R, systems is completely ridiculous. I have to jam my keys like 10 times, before the server maybe decides to execute my command.

Was this during a leve? I've AoE'd plenty of mobs during leves and gotten experience for all of them. I do it to grief friends sometimes when I know I can one shot things just for fun.

[Kurokikaze]

He said "Thistletail Marmots" so it wasn't during a leve. I'm not sure whether or not thats a bug or just "working as intended". Right now you cant AoE a group of mobs down and get loots/exp/skill for each kill outside of leves.

[sruon]

System is similar to XI in the sense that you do not get EXP etc from a mob that has its name Yellow, and while mob stay red during leves, [they turn yellow soon as you kill one of them thus completely resetting accumulated skill so far.] <<<<<<<<< Bug

[synistar]

I already sent a bug report to SE for this one but my Triangulate II and Arbor Call II do not have cooldowns. Course that means I can spam Triangulate II and get nearly infinite quick in any area with grade 2 or less trees. Don't even know how to replicate it so don't even ask.

Conversely, my mining equivalent skills have cooldowns. I usually guesstimate 25 sec after I lose the Quick buff to hit triangulate again.

[ZarakiKujata]

Just had game crash during a leve, thought they fixed that w/ Open Beta?

[SephYuyX]

Now that I see someone else has had the same problem..

Physics not working properly
http://www.bluegartr.com/threads/99317-Physics-Issue.

and

Graphical Tearing when Ambient Occlusion is enabled.
Didnt look for a pic/thread, but numerous people have said they ran in to the issue.

I have seen it on myself repeatedly and others a handful of times... sometimes the fishing rod on a character's back is fully extended. Looks ridic.

Another bug that's been bothering me a lot, you can fail a synth despite getting to 100% progress. Typically happens when your durability hits 0 just as you (should) finish the item.

Also, some mobs I've engaged will fight me for a bit, then turn around and forget about me until I hit them again. During this time, they'll regen HP back to full. Even if I keep spamming my basic attack as fast as I can, it can deaggro and regen to full in a second between attacks.

I think it's SUPPOSED to fail if your durability hits 0 regardless of the progress percentage. Doesn't make much sense, I know.

Can you post/find a picture of this?

Not a bug.

[izembo]

yeah, it says if you hit 0 durability you fail no matter what, thats not a bug

[Ksandra]

So sometimes when I death warp I'll raise in the area I died in and lag a bit before warping, ( I imagine people know what I'm talking about) but this time it didn't warp at all.

Spoiler: show

It's not lag I can run around and fight things, and waited 5 minutes. So have to kill myself again lol. LEMME GO HOME

[Krysania]

On a death related issue.

Encountered a bug where, if you manage to time a cure spell right, you can apparently revive someone who dies shortly before. It seems the cure needs to land shortly after their HP hits 0 and the death animation starts. Was able to replicate this 3x in a row on friend while trying to do leves harder than we should have.

Will try to get a video of it in action.

Also note, it does give the penalty debuff for death when doing it. Managed to get friends stats pretty low after reviving him those three times.

[miokomioko]

Ok, just remembered this issue because it finally happened to me again. I don't know if it's the same for Miners/Botanists...

If you're spearfishing some point in some shallow waters and you have a number of attempts left, and you accidentally pull out your fishing rod, you just forfeit the rest of your attempts at that spearfishing location.

Hit 23 Con a few days ago and finally got offered level 30 leaves.

I got one with a almost 5k guild marks for THM as reward. My Thm is rank 17. Did the quest with friends, was quite easy. was completly on thm for the leave.

and now guess what: got 0 guild marks after completing the quest

friends think its because my thm is only 17, and 30 leaves you need to be 23. Ok not a problem, but WHY THE FUCK offer thm guild marks for 30 leaves when thm is 17 and needs to be 23... i hope all the SE donks burn in fire for the bs the keep doing

[Jackyl]

I'm not sure if this is a bug - (though I don't see why it shouldn't be considered one) you can't change or unequip any gear if you are in the /sit position. Tried using macros as well as manually through the UI. OMG THE FUCKING UI, DIE SE DIE. oops... i don't know what happened there. I think my xiv tourette's is acting up again. Somebody get me some robitussin!

This happens to me on a regular basis. I get offered Marauder and Gladiator (both of which are rank 10) marks when I'm on Pugilist ( Rank 18 ). You have to have it as the main job to receive the rewards. Basically...if you accept it then you're getting no reward unless you do it on that job. Not a bug so much as the randomizer being terrible or Square not bothering to check your job when you accept leves.

I didn't see this on the main list but this isn't too urgent. The casting bar is very inaccurate, especially with longer casting spells such as stoneskin. Most of the time the bar goes all the way to the end in 1-2s but stoneskin obviously doesn't finish casting that fast. When it does finish casting, the next spell I cast(usually about 2s) has the bar going super slow like it was intended for stoneskin.
