All the little FFXIV annoyances, what are yours?

[EdwinLi]

When playing in a DF group there is always a person that constantly brags, complains, and lectures another person about how he or she would play their Job/Roles because they think they can do better and player better than that person.

On this note,

I once ask this type of person "Why don't you play this *job/role* if you want *this thing* to happen?"

and the person says...

"I hate playing this *job/role*."

Then I ask "How long have you even played this *Job/Role*?"

Then the person replied "I haven't played this *Job/Role* ever since I maxed level it to level 50"

Then I finally ask "Then how do you know you'll do better than me if you never use that *Job/Role* for the level 50 contents?"

Then the person went on a Rage Rant on the chat cursing at me and bragging about how his FC member can do better and how they have better gear then me and beating Coil *insert Turn Number* and how I suck because of my gear then after 10 minutes of constant ranting he finally rage quit.

Then another person in my group said "Well he was a As*****."

and I just said "Yep".

Then DF found a replacement with a better and nice attitude.

This 24 hour maintenance.

I agree maintenance's like the one we have now are very annoying but they are necessary even though I don't like them.

This forum.

Underrated post.

EDIT: On-topic, Thaumaturges (and Black Mages) that don't understand how Astral Fire and Umbral Ice work. Leading from that, players that don't read the tooltips on their skills after they get new ones and thus don't know how to use them. Summoners/Arcanists that don't understand that Summon II is not meant to replace Summon (which, again, is rather handily discovered by *gasp* reading the tooltip!)

I guess, in general, I dislike players that don't use all of the resources at their disposal (and there are many, most without needing to tab out and open a browser window, at that) to learn how to play the game. I understand if you still have a green sprout next to your name, but there are folks at ARR level cap that don't understand how their classes work!

Mobs that cast Heavy on me while I'm trying to get somewhere, who then REAPLY Heavy for a full 20 seconds... Again. -_-

People Who spam abilities like Holy, Blizzard, Jump (Drg), etc in town. I know I can turn other peoples sounds off but I don't want to/shouldn't have to.

Characters fighting armor glamoured in bikinis. I don't know why but whenever I see it I *eyeroll*, can't help it lol.

Not being able to stay logged out inside my FC house. I get why they did that at first, but since you can run through everything I wish I could get it back so I can log out in my bedroom & my big fancy bed

I'm sure there's other stuff but those were the things that annoy me the most that I could think of haha.

Fate's spawning on top of things I want to access.

Oh gosh, this I can definitely agree with.

Um, I do hate how the story centers around there being only one warrior of light. You see other Warriors of Light in the epic cinematic that ended the original FFXIV game (you know, with bahamut blowing stuff up like a jerk), and you'll see your party members in some of the MSQ cutscenes. It throws me off, honestly.

Miqote tails. I feel like most of the options don't really look kitty-like to me, and the fluffy one (which IMO is by far the best) looks... odd at the back. Like instead of it being a fluffy tail, the fur joins together to look like a flat plus sign (+) at the tip of it. That used to drive me crazy, lol. If I didn't feel like such a zombie today, I'd go through my screenshots to find an example.

Snip.

I had someone like that but he immediatly wanted to start picking apart my gear and telling me how under geared I was for Wanderers Palace Hardmode before we even began, think I was ilv 97 so he ended up ditching and being a DPS himself, had to suffer the wait while just us 3 cleared to the first boss when a Summoner joined in with no issues at all.

- Gear! :- the fact that every single piece of gear is disposable / throw away junk. there's no long term goals or real lasting sense of reward or accomplishment because everything is junk a month after you get it.

in turn this kind of kills content. you can have really hard content like coil. and players don't even try it. why? because a, the gear is disposable junk, and b, they know it'll be nerfed in a month and made easier, thus you get a huge chunk of players who simply don't bother trying until it's been nerfed.

I read that 3.0 will have a really hard alexander extreme mode, that's cool, but everyone knows in 2 or 3 months it'll be a laughably easy joke of a fight. so why even bother with it...

the very nature of gear design also kills long term goals and focus in ffxiv. everything is so quick and easy to get. with exception of artificial barriers such as poetics caps or 1 drop limits.
kinda why I'm not to fussed about heavensward. my only real interest is in the story, so may as well wait till 3.3 or 3.4 and do the whole lot. skipping all the gear grinding and junk collection from 3.0 - 3.3 entirely.

basically repeating what I did in 2.0. I came back 3 months ago burnt the main scenario, got myself access to crystal tower and went straight for the i120 gear, skipping every thing that players had spent ages getting cos it's all worthless junk., and from there started working on poetics.

oh and chocobos :- summoning your chocobo means you can't queue for duty finder.... why????

Something like that happened to me two days ago!
I was healing, and the tank kept complaining about what I was doing, even though we were going just fine! Even yelled at a poor bard for using aoe skills! Then he got his supriority hat on telling me how he could just leave and screw us over... So I told him to stop being a big baby!

And then he called me a mean name and left!

And then I left and quickly rejoined in-progress as a Paladin - and we did just fine!


Point being: I hate people who think they are the only ones capable of doing their job, especially when they really aren't all that good at it! How very obnoxious!!!

My biggest one is latency. I'm in Australia, closest data centre is in Japan. I'm always dodging an AoE ,such as landslide in Titan ,and I see myself get out of the way of it with time to spare and I still take the friggen damage! UGH
