Who do I need to petition to get an animation where you angrily push your workbench over in a fit of rage of continued failed synthesis attempts?
Kinda like in that Dane Cook skit - WARNING! EXPLICIT LANGUAGE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ig64I7ZC3Ro
I get so sick of hitting synthesize 3 or 4 times when I know there is no possible way of finishing the synth (yes I know you get a few extra SP if you're closer to completion). I'd rather just stop right there and start a new synth. I think it'd stop me from breaking my keyboard if I could see my character getting angry (on my 4th keyboard since I started crafting), stopping and getting up to /angry is not a viable option.
While some of what I've said is obviously meant as a joke - I seriously think this would spice things up and provide some comic relief to the frustration I feel from constant mini explosion sounds / seeing my completion bar at 24% and my durability at 43.

You should try harder to finish those. Sometimes you can pull out amazing stuff. LS mate told us he was almost in tears mid-synth when working with our Uraeus Skin +3, but he managed to pull it out with 1 durability left and got the +2 leather too :D ...So don't give up before the synth is done.
But yes, knocking over the little bench would be a great emote! -

Instead of a dangit - ala Prufrock from those FFXI spoofs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_m3f_...eature=related. What's the difference between a tisp and a tibisp!?Quote:

That's amazing that your friend pulled that off though - AND with a +2 to boot. Way to press on!Quote:

Hahah, I'd love that actually :D Table toss or banging my head into the table in frustration :P I think asking for my char's head to explode would be pushing it too far :3

Like Superpatch mentioned, get hand of the gods for situations like these. It will save your rear a lot. Another good one is assemble and/or mass production, can really save the day sometimes. Also, while rare, sometimes you can super succeed on a synth turn and incur no durability loss at all with a large jump in progress. I've had it happen back to back a couple times and saved a synth that was going south.

I thought this was silly (though still a good idea), until you mentioned the comic relief aspect. Now I love it. Failing a synth is more frustrating than dying at this point, and if I saw my character rage on his work bench, at least I'd get a laugh and go back to synthing. I know it's a bad sign that when I go to do all my local leves, I turn on a movie and spam Standard Synthesis. Too often I've tried my best to do a synth only to have it repeatedly fail, and then spamming standard does it just fine.
I think that goes to another problem (and maybe this is just me) but synthesis results seem too random. I'm sure there are other connections, like moon phase, the direction I'm facing, whether I'm sitting upright in my chair while playing or slouching, etc., but I thought that was stupid in XI and don't approve of it any more in XIV.
Anyway, ragequit synth would be amazing.
