AATN:FFXIV DEVELOPMENT! the commendation system is a joke!

[Tint]

and i forget to mention that i never comm on anyone over the past 2 years that i play since i play on PS4 with controller and comm someone with controler feel so uncomforable

just... deactivate that stupid touchpad mouse and just push the giant button in the middle of your controller to tab through the UI. Push it twice and you are at the loot and commendations.

I am playing on PS4 too and I always give a commendation, except when everyone in the party was just terrible.

I'm guilty of giving out my commendation blindly to whatever Green or Blue icon is in the list; not because of laziness....... but b-because of....

Yeah, I do that often too. I usually play tank and give it to the healer or my co-tank in 8-man content as a little thank you, because they are the roles I interact with the most as a tank.

However, I also have no way to actually tell if a DD is going a good job. I can make out when he does terrible, but good? No idea...

But I can see when a tank or a healer does a good (or terrible) job, so they are the roles I can judge and give commendations on that judgement.

I mean, you know you can just click it instead of using the touchpad function itself right? Didn't take me a day of playing to get used to how many times i needed to click it in order to select active quest, chat log, loot bar, etc. In fact, I'd have to assume you never roll on loot either since the loot bar and player comms are literally located on top of each other and require the exact same amount of interaction.

yes, I do know you can press it but it's still horrible, I do give commendations but only when people deserve it and that is rare, I always feel bad when premade parties give me all the comms and I did not give it to anyone.

OP was too long, I'll try to make a short version, correct me if I'm wrong ofc.

"How you lowly plebeians DARE don't commend my DIVINE presence in the party?

You MUST be grateful I'm in your party! I'm providing what you need for playing the game, and this is all the gratitude you show off to me? HOW DISAPPOINTING!"

If you are playing as a dps you have a less chance of getting a commendation.

In dungeon I usually comm the healer when I am tanking and comm the tank when I am healing. When I dps I comm the other dps unless the tank or healer does something that wows me. In 8 man content if I am the dps I comm the main tank or the healer who rezzed me. If I am a tank I comm the other tank or the healer who made the most impact.

Rarely do I comm another dps unless they are making a noticeable impact to the group.

Am I wrong for this? Maybe I am maybe I am not. However each individual who plays has their own decisions when commendating another player.

i have over 2800 comms over 4 years. mainly because i main a tank all of hw and some of sb. i am also a decent healer in dungeons and good dps. if you good at your job you get comms

Why the caps lock? Since when has full caps lock posts ever made a impact, on anything.

I understand your bored OP, but be patient. The expansion is on its way.

......and no more coffee for you. (Or commendations..)

[Kogekigami]

The com system could do with a overall but i feel your rant and demanding of coms might be the bigger issue.

To me i feel like you should have the ability to com anyone you didn't que in with. So you can com multiple people especially in 8 mans or 24 mans it would be nice. heck I have seen healers save entire 24 man runs by rezzing another teams healer and i can't com that person. Or I get dungeon runs where everyone did well and i could only pick one?

It would be nice if they updated the system but throwing a tantrum of 'its broken cause i don't get coms' is not the reason its broken. That sounds more like a you issue.
