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

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

UGH stupid launcher won't update! I think the file got corrupted when my PC crashed during an update a while back....

Saw a thread about changing the bootconfig file but that didn't do it. Do I have to uninstall and re-install? Is there any way to save all my macros and settings or is that all fucked up (which is gonna just put me off from playing even more)

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

They added 3 new dungeons. If they didn't lower the Soldiery Toms amount there would be literally no reason to play them.

What are the 3 new dungeons and which one is the best / fastest now to farm soldiery? I still need my gloves, feet, and head.

Not sure, only just got back from work. Will get back to you o nthat one Mezlo. Also check the loot list for new CT. All of the gear is a Sidegrade to your Soldiery Gear since it is all iLv100.

All I can say is DAT BLM ROBE! I want that fucking robe, it will be awesome for SMNs too who have been shafted badly on Accuracy since 2.2 hit.

Eh, could have just made the new ones worth more too seeing as Soldiery already sucks to farm.

It takes one Expert dungeon per day to cap Soldiery. In what universe does that suck? You basically have 450 Soldiery given to you every week for free as long as you do your Roulettes, which can now be done in a full group...

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

That's assuming you do it every day though, and not everyone can do that. Besides those dungeons (well, brayflox and halatali anyway) were fast and fun.


Really would like to know if there's anything I can do to fix my launcher not starting up without reinstalling X_x


EDIT: Yeah that's a pretty sexy robe alright, though I'd rather something with spellspeed for BLM especially given how dependent BLM is on getting as many hits off as possible before having to move or switch stances. The crit is lovely in terms of raw damage but yeah...

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

Crit is still better with the current gear levels. Spell Speed does nothing for your global cooldown. Plus you can move when a Spell is at under 0.5 seconds left on the cast bar which does make a large chunk of spell speed kind of not needed. BLM is more about Maximising your Astral Fire III uptime and moving only when you really have to. Crit is also really, really, really nice for Flare spamming (they still haven't fixed it in this patch even though hey said it would be fixed).

Double Plumes in Titan EX s the best example. You have more than enough time to Dodge, cast then Dodge again. You can pretty much get off a Blizz III in that space and enjoy going nto Stomps with full MP.

The main reason the High Allagan Chest is so nice for BLM isn't the Spell Speed. It is the ridonkulous amount of INT and Determination that it gives.

Hulbreaker Isle is the fastest dungeon. All of the bosses are pretty easy and there's not much trash. Oh and the Mimics are back. Have fun.

Stone Vigil HM is fun and well balanced, though the bosses are a bit too easy. The turret fight section is pretty fun and reminds me of those fights in SWTOR.

Tam-Tara HM...Fuck those ending cutscenes and the torn pages from the diary you find are why I am still up at 2am. Just don't watch the quest's final cutscene with any kids or you will not get them to sleep. The Red Wedding references did make me chuckle though. THe dungeon is a bit of a slog but it has the most fun, unique and interesting boss fights of the three.

Syrcus Tower: It is a lot harder than Crystal Tower at it requires actual coordination and all three raid groups to pay attention at all times of you wipe. It drops iLv100 gear that act as Sidegrades for your Soldiery Gear. It also drops the Sands and Oils to upgrade Soldiery Gear too.

Oh, all the new Dungeons drop iLv80 Gear with unique models. You now also get 35 Soldiery for the Daily instead of just 25 now so capping is even easier.

Technically that *is* crystal tower lol. I mean both are a part of it, but Syrcus is actually inside the tower proper.

I really wanna re-sub just for a month and try out the new shinies but yeah the launcher still won't start up and I'm reluctant to uninstall & reinstall if I don't have to (really not keen on re-mapping all my abilities and gear sets etc. if I don't have to).

Syrcus Tower is the name of the main spire. The Crystal Tower is the name of the whole structure basically

Does it still use torrents, by any chance? I remember those were stored in the My Documents folder, and you could delete them if they were giving you trouble, or just add completed torrents and skip the launcher's download.

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

Thankfully I was able to just re-install the game without incident - all my preferences and skill set ups remained in tact, so I didn't have to change a thing when I finally got on for the F2P weekend ^^

Yes they do still use torrents, but the patcher for ARR is actually stable so unlike te original XIV, you aren't forced to torrent the patched if you want the download to start.

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

What I don't like though is you can't actually update the client without an active subscription which is just dumb IMO.

Even if I don't play now, I'd still like to keep my client up to date so if I do decide to come back I won't have to sit there for hours waiting on the patches.

[Firewind]

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

You do realise they still let you torrent the patches right? All you need to do is track down the .torrent for the latest patch, a fle that anyone that is currently playing the game would be able to send you.

People not dodging Eruptions in Ifrit EX.
Tanks not tank swapping during Garuda EX
DPS killing Spiny Plume in Garuda EX - Why even queue?
Black Mages hesitating on LB during Leviathan EX.
DPS not uncharming me during Ramuh EX
Tanks being douchebags in low level roulettes to get their Animus done. - This game isn't just about you.
Crafters whining and complaining about their material usage versus their actual income spending.
People undercutting me on the Marketboard and crashing the market.
New players who are ignorant.
Cocky tanks. I hate them and will tear them a new ass.
People who buy wins. - Go play a F2P game.

The list goes on.
