That feeling as a Tank when the Healer turns up in iLv60 Greens

When you see something drop that another party member can also roll Need on

And you immediately roll a 1

When you swiftcast Raise the tank only for them to ignore the Raise, and the body falls off the ship

Actually the lotting rules were Need > Geed. I was cursing the fact that a weapons I can finally use on one of my jobs dropped and I rolled a freaking 1

I maintain that you can't fix stupid.

Maybe by the time if/when I come back to the game, I'll be able to get past Titan.

But it won't be because the retards are gone, it'll be because they'll just be too overgeared to possibly screw it up by that point :/

Seems Legit

Weekly Primal Kills.

You set a notice politely telling people that it's for weekly wins and not a learning party, and that if it can't clear by 25% Echo, you'll be disbanding (let's face it, Echo doesn't stop stupid and it causes more wipes than it stops).

You get that one idiot that kills the Spiny Plume in Garuda, can't survive to the heart on Titan, and runs Searing Winds into the DDs on Ifrit, and it's always the person that gets the clear achievement.

My record is 4 popping up on Garuda.

Re: What's your pet-peeve in FFXIV: ARR?

Our group is mostly relying on PUGs to do current content. We were surprised when they added echo to the Coil. I was like ... wtf. Then again, it still won't help stupid, and we had ourselves some really bad BLMs who couldn't do anything more than sit on empty mana pools and burn Limit Break on the magical defense enhanced version of ADS. /slapforehead

We raid really late so I doubt either of you could benefit from transferring to Siren (not that I recommend doing so considering how empty the server gets late at night, although lately there's been more people than usual, but I suspect is just those "early bird" EU players and not any influx of new JP players)

Re: What's your pet-peeve in FFXIV: ARR?

It's the exact same thing. What's the point in inviting someone who hasn't cleared the content when you can just find someone who has in the same amount of time?

Re: What's your pet-peeve in FFXIV: ARR?

No I'm pretty sure when asked about it in a live Q&A YP said it's to help people catch up.

Echo doesn't fix stupid though, and being Bad @ the game is apparently contagious on Excalibur.

Re: What's your pet-peeve in FFXIV: ARR?

Actually the reason they added the Echo is because it means that if someone leaves a static, the static is completely screwed. You can find someone good who lacks gear and help them gear up fast. Compare to FFXI where if someone dropped from your static, that static WOULD disband if you couldn't poach someone that hadn't already cleared the prerequisite cock blocks.

Re: What's your pet-peeve in FFXIV: ARR?

Yeah pretty much. I mean I figure by the time I do resub, people will be done with Titan anyway - even the retards just by over-gearing it. And I'll have missed out on all the fun of doing the current content.


This is what I hate about the Echo - it's a crutch to let the scrubs get caught up (well, those who are salvagable anyway - there's no saving the true scrubs that keep screwing me over on Titan and T5) and as it's on automaically and people will have moved on (unlike in XI pre=Abyssea) it kills the experience; it's just not the same.

And I loathe all the casual mouth breathers on the forums who don't/can't get that. They don't see the point of having value in existing content, only the latest stuff and look at anyone who bitches cock-eyed. It doesn't *only* have to be about the new shinnies folks. That's what gave XI such lasting charm (just the game's RNG was overly punishing, territory that XIV is now crossing into and even doubling down on I mean honestly wtf)


What pisses me off most about Titan is that both Ifrit and levi EX are easier - I just can't get past the retard check because my FC is a useless pile of shit and it doesn't matter how well I play my DRG if even 1 person in the party screws up it damns all of us. That's the kind of crap they should reserve for the Relic quest btw, instead of having such a ridiculous grind. I'm tired of being cockblocked on the content I want to and *can* do by scrubs.

Twintania's not even that awful really (from a dps PoV anyway) just ugh @ people who join parties and then suddenly turns out they actually don't know how to dodge dive bombs or dps conflags etc. (or bad dps who focus down the snakes/spam aoe list goes on)

And I hate sounding like an elitist little shit but my God I expected more from a fucking Legacy server. The level of incompetence is equal measure embarrassing and infuriating.

Re: What's your pet-peeve in FFXIV: ARR?

Yeah, my subscription is up in May. Due to having no static, and very few being willing to take a BLM, nevermind help one through Titan EM and Turn 5 of Coil, the only content I can do is this fucked up FATE grind.

I've turned off auto renew. Basically if I've made no progress by the time my sub is up I'm not renewing and not coming back for the forseeable future.

Re: What's your pet-peeve in FFXIV: ARR?

I swear if I get even just one more fucking party of dumbasses who can't dodge/don't know the fight when the PF specifically says to know what you're doing I'ma just flat out rage. Don't give a fuck if the party reports me I'ma just lose my shit on everyone I have FUCKING HAD IT WITH THE RETARDS KEEPING ME FROM GETTING ACCESS TO THE NEW CONTENT. So fucking sick of doing *my* job right but losing constantly even with 5x echo because of even just ONE PERSON WHO CAN'T DO THEIRS.

Copperbell Mines HM is only really fun as a DD since they are the only classes that have to do any work in that dungeon.

[Aeni]

Re: What's your pet-peeve in FFXIV: ARR?

I have yet to go to Copperbell Mines HM, mostly because I never bothered to unlock it and have no interest in going in there as it's a lot lower ilvl loot compared with BF or HT.

Re: What's your pet-peeve in FFXIV: ARR?

I had thought that the HM dungeon's music was tethered only to Haukke Manor when it was released, because it made a lot of sense. Never had I felt so disappointed when I got around to Copperbell Mines HM ... Why so lazy, SE?
