Got my shiny lance this morning after getting 5 Atma in the span of an hour and a half. Still hate that shit.

My reaction to having Brayflox HM pop yet again when queued as Black Mage:


When you join a Titan EM group and find out it can't even get past the Heart


When you realise you already have the zone's Atma

Brayflox HM isn't bad with a pre-made group. It goes south in the ole roulette, however. Maybe cause I run it during the time that I do, I've been lucky solo queued.

Re: What's your pet-peeve in FFXIV: ARR?

I really like Brayflox. The first boss reminds me a lot fo playing Bomberman. It's just that first pick sums up your average BLM well in there.

And with Brayflox to practise dodging, there are still people that die in Titan Extreme before the heart.

Re: What's your pet-peeve in FFXIV: ARR?

I just hate the music. Both the dungeon and the last boss especially (1st 2 bosses are cool though).


Thankfully it's a very short run with a competent group. I actually like City best out of the 3, though Diabolos can be somewhat annoying unless ppl are smart about the doors.

Re: What's your pet-peeve in FFXIV: ARR?

I actually like the new boss themes. We finally get a theme with the feeling of "Okay this is going to be tense". If I'm honest I didn't like the second boss of Brayflox HM, it was just a redo of the TTR and Brayflox SM final bosses but even easier. The final boss was a lot of fun though, the cutscenes were hilarious, the music is great, and it actually gives BLMs a reason to put Blizzard II back on the hotbar.

Re: What's your pet-peeve in FFXIV: ARR?

My friends and I love the music for the last boss on Brayflox. I agree with Firewind, the added tension adds to the ambience. The cutscenes were in deed funny as get all.

Re: What's your pet-peeve in FFXIV: ARR?

I still hate it, grates on my nerves. Like retarded scary clown music.

The scenes are hysterical though

Re: What's your pet-peeve in FFXIV: ARR?

That moment when you farm for 2 hours in Northern Thanalan only for your FC to remind you that no atma drops there...

Re: What's your pet-peeve in FFXIV: ARR?

I had thought that the HM dungeon's music was tethered only to Haukke Manor when it was released, because it made a lot of sense. Never had I felt so disappointed when I got around to Copperbell Mines HM ... Why so lazy, SE?

[Aeni]

Re: What's your pet-peeve in FFXIV: ARR?

I have yet to go to Copperbell Mines HM, mostly because I never bothered to unlock it and have no interest in going in there as it's a lot lower ilvl loot compared with BF or HT.

[Firewind]

Re: What's your pet-peeve in FFXIV: ARR?

Copperbell Mines HM is only really fun as a DD since they are the only classes that have to do any work in that dungeon.

Re: What's your pet-peeve in FFXIV: ARR?

I swear if I get even just one more fucking party of dumbasses who can't dodge/don't know the fight when the PF specifically says to know what you're doing I'ma just flat out rage. Don't give a fuck if the party reports me I'ma just lose my shit on everyone I have FUCKING HAD IT WITH THE RETARDS KEEPING ME FROM GETTING ACCESS TO THE NEW CONTENT. So fucking sick of doing *my* job right but losing constantly even with 5x echo because of even just ONE PERSON WHO CAN'T DO THEIRS.

[Firewind]

Re: What's your pet-peeve in FFXIV: ARR?

Yeah, my subscription is up in May. Due to having no static, and very few being willing to take a BLM, nevermind help one through Titan EM and Turn 5 of Coil, the only content I can do is this fucked up FATE grind.

I've turned off auto renew. Basically if I've made no progress by the time my sub is up I'm not renewing and not coming back for the forseeable future.

[Malacite]

Re: What's your pet-peeve in FFXIV: ARR?

Yeah pretty much. I mean I figure by the time I do resub, people will be done with Titan anyway - even the retards just by over-gearing it. And I'll have missed out on all the fun of doing the current content.


This is what I hate about the Echo - it's a crutch to let the scrubs get caught up (well, those who are salvagable anyway - there's no saving the true scrubs that keep screwing me over on Titan and T5) and as it's on automaically and people will have moved on (unlike in XI pre=Abyssea) it kills the experience; it's just not the same.

And I loathe all the casual mouth breathers on the forums who don't/can't get that. They don't see the point of having value in existing content, only the latest stuff and look at anyone who bitches cock-eyed. It doesn't *only* have to be about the new shinnies folks. That's what gave XI such lasting charm (just the game's RNG was overly punishing, territory that XIV is now crossing into and even doubling down on I mean honestly wtf)


What pisses me off most about Titan is that both Ifrit and levi EX are easier - I just can't get past the retard check because my FC is a useless pile of shit and it doesn't matter how well I play my DRG if even 1 person in the party screws up it damns all of us. That's the kind of crap they should reserve for the Relic quest btw, instead of having such a ridiculous grind. I'm tired of being cockblocked on the content I want to and *can* do by scrubs.

Twintania's not even that awful really (from a dps PoV anyway) just ugh @ people who join parties and then suddenly turns out they actually don't know how to dodge dive bombs or dps conflags etc. (or bad dps who focus down the snakes/spam aoe list goes on)

And I hate sounding like an elitist little shit but my God I expected more from a fucking Legacy server. The level of incompetence is equal measure embarrassing and infuriating.
