You can turn beeping sound off! Makes FFXIV more realistic!!!

all you need to do is go to volume and turn off systemï»¿ sounds, which are just menu sounds andï»¿ that annoying beep beep. 1st thing i did when I started.

oh you can turn the beeping sound off! 0.0 anyone knew this? I wonder why more players don't turn it off so they don't hear beeping if they mash the actions too fast?

Merged threads.

J9 this didn't deserve an entire thread to itself. We have enough clutter so please think before posting.

Did you know that is blatant bullshit? For example, did you know your volume controls in-game (all 3 of them) don't actually control anything? Try muting all 3 of those controls ... you can still hear the annoying door open and slam shut very, very loudly.

Isn't that the truth. I get headaches/migraines and loud noises only make it worse. So I saw those controls and was overjoyed, what a letdown.

I'm very sorry about my angry tone. Last night I did 4 crafting leves (Rank 5) and the crafts I was in were all 10+ and I had strings of failures you would not believe. I ended up only successfully completing one of them. Previously, I had 100% completion on all of those same leves.

Re: What's your pet peeve about FFXIV?

I'm getting annoyed at missing a Dodo that should be an easy kill for me, 10 times in a row.

Miss, miss, evade, miss, evade, evade, evade, miss, miss.

I have 60 dex at 20 Physical, and 17 lancer, and my brother is a 17 Marauder with the same, and he hits at least twice the amount of times I do.

Re: What's your pet peeve about FFXIV?

From what I've seen in videos, the spell animations leave something to be desired. In FFXI, due to job abilities being something that was mostly direct, that left WS and spells to be the "flashy" moves. You see bubbles and hear a distinct sound as a Mage casts white magic, and then out comes some exaggerated spell that's suppose to be holy and curey and whatnot.

Not liking what I'm seeing in FFXIV spells. They feel all the... same. Not sure how to explain it better.

Hm, then again, maybe it's because everything is flashy now. So spells just don't seem that cool anymore. Yeah, we'll go with that.

Re: What's your pet peeve about FFXIV?

Ya, I agree. I don't think the spell animations in FFXIV are flashy enough. Here you have this gorgeous exciting world and you think that when you cast that spell that its going to be just as gorgeous and exciting and......wtf! I said all the way through testing that I hoped to hell they tweak the animations but nada. FFXIV is starting to feel like the couple that wanted to build their dream house but money got tight when it was half done because they didn't think things through and now its just slap it together and get it up.

Battle leves that give Dodos.

Crafting leves that give nothing but crafts out of my range.

48 hours of waiting because the game decided to be evil to me.

Re: What's your pet peeve about FFXIV?

Currently, as people finally are figuring out that partying is still the way to go, my LS mates are spazing out about battle regimens. Constantly trying to do them, making the battle so annoyingly drawn out it's, well, just not enjoyable.

This....oh this! I'm in a pt, the melees engage the mob, I hit it with a spell, then the melees get into a pissing match over setting up a battle regimen totally ignoring the mob....and the mob switches to me and starts to beat the piss out of me. Seems this battle regimen shit is too difficult to figure out and not worth the damn effort! ><

Yeah, I would highly advise you to not try to figure this out with random players. Even JP players are arguing with each other over this (test and figure out regimens or get this shit over with. I really hafta craft, maintenance in 90 min, no fuck you asshole, I got pressing things to do ... okay, screw you *leaves group* -- yes, I read this somewhere on a bbs)

I only wished Armando was on so we could do some serious testing and figuring out. None of my friends have even a thin veneer of patience to work this out with me

I'm getting close to just being a conjurer and nuking shit and not have to deal with this.

Re: What's your pet peeve about FFXIV?

Ok, seriously....has ANYONE been successful with the battle regimens? My son drove me nuts with this last night. They tried and tried and tried and tried and they couldn't do a 2 person one. So whats the next step? Call it quits and just play? Oh noooooooooooooooooooo......tell the mage they need to join in and do a 3 man one! Oy...damn near kill the party over doing this because THE MAGE CAN'T HEAL IN BATTLE REGIMEN MODE! ...and of course it was taking them forever and a day to get it together... Screw that crap, bring back skillchains because this shit sucks ass.
