Random GripeS Thread

For you to get something off your chest. I got 2 to start.

Why does everyone stand still at the beginning of a dungeon for a good 2 minutes after being buffed? I've already ran away after getting protect.

Why do tanks stand still forever in-between each pull? When I would ta k, I'd check healers MP, see its still 3/4 full, and press on. I don't understand why they need to stop after every pull.

I think this is waiting on TP possibly. Doesn't make it any better when standing there and enochian's about to fall off, just thinking "shitshitshitshitshit pull already"

Really? O.o I get almost nobody who waits.
I have trouble finding time to Stoneskin myself and the DDs before the tank dashes off like 90% of the time.

Funny enough, a pet peeve of mine are healers who take a long time to start buffing at the start of a dungeon. The worst are the ones that start casting right about the time I give up and run away :(

But they're nothing compared to the crafters who set up shop in high traffic areas! *shakes fist* How will my retainers hear the summoning bell over all of those annoying crafting noises? :P

*proceeds to setup crafting table by the summoning bell* "~Hey, need quick access to the retainers!"

When nobody in the dungeon uses the limit break until the very last boss is at 2%.

This. Such a waste of DPS.

Check MP bars as a tank!? Pffft. I just run in and start the next fight. They have cooldowns and potions! Use 'em! :P Seriously, though. I don't like waiting around... If I'm not buffed before the wall drops at the beginning, I start getting antsy. Soon as I hear that cast go off, I'm gone.

I can't believe I'm still having to put my chocobo away to wait for any dungeon finder queue. I can't believe we've been given so many rich and fun mount options but we can't ride them with our chocobos out either. And on top of the stupidly strict rules on what we can do with chocobos, summoning and dismissing them isn't free.

Those are my gripes for today.

Peak hour new content 90002->3102->10105->90002 loop started again. :3

Yup, us SMNs have the same issue with aethertrail stacks ticking down between pulls. It's frustrating.

Odds are if I'm taking a long time to start buffing in a dungeon, it's because I was mid-sentence typing for my FC and I wanted to finish my thought.

Not letting me use minions in dungeon.

People who crowd around the time trader in New Mordhona. Jesus people afk somewhere else please :3

LAAAAAAGGG

Not being able to queue with my choc out

When in primals ex pick up, no one say anything, the tank begin the fight, big wipe, and then someone ask if someone doesn't know the strat and then... 5 guys say : "i'm new" "first time !" "dunno the strt"

When a Npc ask me to kill X Monsters type B, and a farmer is massmurdering them in front of me. The quest takes 20 min instead of 2.

When i'm force to do absurd quest to go on with the story, like to gather something just beside the npc who need it, or helping to cook something.

And the worst... all the "cinematic" in which every protagonists take a lot of time just to node to someone or wait 15 sec looking that guy leaving the place.... Seriously ! be non-stop with the animations T-T

Being unable to turn off fly text telling me when someone else gains/loses buffs. I hate seeing constant form changes/astral fire etc on everyone else during fights.

On Astrologian:

Draws Spire at the beginning of a pull. There is no need for TP > Royal Road.

Draws Spire. Laughs ironically, knowing what's coming next. > Shuffle

Draws Spire. Again. WHY??

The one big one for me is playing as a DPS and wanting to go into a dungeon, have to choose to either wait around for a pop or run fates/hunting log and such solo. Wouldn't be so bad if the chocobo could be used and just dismissed as soon as the dungeon popped or even using my other mounts while he is out. I KNOW it can be done cus when I got my dragon, I had my chocobo out and as soon as I dismounted he came right back to me.
