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

Marauder queues in the Duty Finder as a tank. That's my pet peeve.

If I want to wear heavy armor and deal damage, I HAVE to go with Lancer.

Yeah I still find it a bit weird that MRD is more tank oriented, but meh. At least we got 2 diff tank classes from the beginning.

New peeve: Finally being able to play when I get home, queue up in Duty Finder with my brother to get into Brayflo-whatever, and get 90000k'd offline. Now I'm stuck getting into the queue, and being disconnected due to ANOTHER error that won't let me online. When do I fucking get to play? D: <

Make friends and queue with them. I've healed low level dungeons with THM and ACN. Just get your four people together and run to the dungeon normally. You will all get inside without a problem.

Of course DDing as a WAR will make the tank want to kill you, especially if it's a PLD. WAR gets far better Emnity Mods to their abilities and deal more damage anyway since you are going to be putting your point into pure STR and WAR is a two hander class.

I started on the idea that perhaps I should just go DD anyways, and I'll end up tanking because of all the leet damage I'll be putting down.

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

WAR is the "In your face" tank anyway and from the look of it, pumping STR on it seems to be the way to go since it also benefits your parry rate, aggro generation and kills stuff dead faster.

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

I thought Str had an effect on damage mitigation for block/parry and Dex effects the actual rate of parry/block.

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

I hadn't even finished logging in before my first peeve happened.

I downloaded the 2.0 client and installed the updates, logged into my account and hit "play". I selected my 1.0 character and opted to change his appearance from a Lalafell to a manthra and went through the proper process to change everything. When I finished I hit "save" and then "Play" and the screen loaded up the opening sequence for new ARR characters. Then i noticed it. During the CS I was indeed a manthra... but with NONE of the physical properties I had selected. I didn't even look like the default Manthra... it's all fucked up. Now what? We got the 1 chance and 1 chance only to pick new features and the system... not me... fucked up and loaded something completely wrong.

In any other instance, I'd just reroll a new one, but this is my 1.0 legacy character with level 50 WHM, BLM and PUG... as well as level 50 in several crafts... over 500k in gil and a ton of gear. I don't want to reroll... I just want to look the way I picked it to look.

I even went back to the selection screen after I exited the CS and looked to see that the style I saved was the style I made. It was... as an option... on any new character... but this random fucked up style is nowhere to be found saved anywhere.

For the time being, I rerolled a new character WHO LOOKS LIKE WHAT I PICKED on Gilgamesh until I can decide if I want to trash my old one.

This is one of those times where I wished that SE customer support gave a fuck... because I don't even want to bother sitting on hold with their phone system for god knows how long just to hear "We're sorry, there's nothing we can do about that".

Fuck you there's nothing you can do. Your system fucked up my character and along with it... all my hard work. I'm not staring at an ugly Manthra for the next however many years just because of some levels.

Yyggy! Come roll on Siren with Aeni and I!

btw, you can still fix it because SE sent out fantasia potions to everyone with a legacy account. check your mog mail.

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

TM told me about those too! I got it and fixed the problem. Now I look sexy again.

Also: Nope. I'm sticking with this server I'm on for now until transfers become available and then probably moving to Gilgamesh to play with Hayde.

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

Yeah I'm considering moving to Lamia, as a bunch of my real life buddies are on there. A few are on Gilgamesh I think, but the bulk are on Lamia.


Kinda sad to leave Excalibur, as I'm in a rather nice FC atm (plus it's located in Montreal so very little latency) but oh well. Besides, other than Mezlo I don't think too many of us actually ended up either getting or staying on Exalibur, lol. All the legacy servers have had new characters locked which blows.

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

Go figure. Excalibur is where I currently am.

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

It's worse when you're gunning for a HQ item and use your HQ mats that you could have sold for more than the item itself...And you get a NQ and weep at the profit you lost.
