These People Got REALLY Mad at Me for Getting Rank 1 in Final Fantasy XIV 

(sorry for my english not native) You probably won't read that but I had a group during years. And I had the chance to have one of the best tanks a healer can get during the last years I played with my group. That group was not hardcore but neither casual, don't know the name (not week 1 or anything like this just a group doing 4 days a week 3 hours each day). I was the leader and during 9 years we did content as ultimates and savages. One day this tank came and told me "I have beaten Xeno on a parse" (I don't remember the raid sorry it was some years ago but I remember it was a savage raid) and you know what, he was so proud. He didn't go berserk and told everyone, no, just us, his team. He admired you as a player both for your performance on parse and your way to play Warrior. And it was so cute when he told us that we were like "whaaat, it can't be true, you can't beat Xeno", but he did. We saw the parse and he really did. And we were so proud ! And it became a private joke, "I have beaten Xeno on a parse once." And this is how good people normally react. They look forward to be as good as people they know are better than them. They don't envy them, they see them as an opportunity to be better. And this player was the best tank I've ever had, and I must say that I would never have trade him for you :P and the sweetest person you can have on your party. I hope that you realize that there are more people out there that see you as an opportunity to be better players themselves that to rage because you're first on a parse. =)

I fucking wish my life was so simple that I cared to baby rage about someone getting a r1 parse. Holy shit, I'm happy for these people that they have no real life issues.

I don't get it. I have Splatoon, Splatoon 2 and Splatoon 3 but I'm still shit. Maybe I need the Side Order DLC.

Requies Cat is the living embodiment of why Yoshi-P won't add DPS meters

im jus glad people are realising how toxic Req is and how hypocritical he can be, some streams he can act nice about tanks new to P6 and then suddenly switch it up when a dps dies in a different party he jumps on their corpse and encourages his chat to talk shit. he's never going to grow as a streamer if he keeps it up and doesnt learn to change

I recently got a rank 1 on a savage fight, and it has completely changed my view on parsing. Rotationally I did NOTHING different than the last 15 or so kills of that boss, and then the best parse was either a 91 or 92. However, I go to a different group, have a slightly different kill time and good crit RNG, and all of a sudden I am rank 1. It would never happen, but the obsession over funny number needs to go away in order for people to refocus on what matters most, and that is performance.

Man, I got my TEA clear in LPDU and it was a (mostly) a great experience. Except for that one time I had Req in my pf and he kept being passive aggressive against minor mistakes and shit talked etc Like brother, it's a game, we're here to have fun

-Proceeds to trash talk for no reason -Is not rank 1 -is playing a generic catgirl -doesn't shower -doesn't have a real life I love the ff community

I think its infinitely more valuable to help 3 people get their clear experience... Then a person complaining about another's performance... Why can't we be happy for that :/

Caring about parsing when your crit RNG changes your parse up to 20% and sometimes more in this version of the game is absolute mental illness

I'm glad you call people out like this. It is so infuriating seeing people post comments that are literally 100% BS and then hide behind the anonymity of the internet. Then once they get called out, which is almost never, hence why they do it, they backpedal everything they said and try to play the victim. It's always "I actually don't care", "I was only joking", etc.

Lmao fuck req

can't believe he put his mit sheet behind a sub wall LUL

And this is why I don't care about my rank. As long as I'm purple or above I'm doing my job.

Req still malding today because he cannot get Rank 1 in obtaining a life.

I'm hoping this ends up being a wake-up call for these people. It's a game. Jesus it's hard to watch.

REQ is such a loser lmao

log addicted players is really the downfall of ultimate pfs

Imagine having a meltdown over something so inconsequential. You should be like the speedrunners who congratulate their rivals each time thyr beat their world record run.

Praise the saltiness for being able to extend a single ultimate kill into 2 videos

imagine having such a huge main character syndrome that you're salty that there's someone better than you in a videogame.

This video was phenomenally fun. I just love the thought process people go through about their rankings and stuff. My personal journey with parsing is just at least being a high purple/orange. If I see a pink in there than thats pretty great. Grinded myself to rank 211 this last raid tier just for the hell of it and was satisfied seeing the pink overall ranking number. I think the best thing to do in this game is pride yourself on your own consistency with mechanics and personal abilities to perform well in a fight. If consistency isn't enough then go for the big numbers, if someone does better than you, acknowledge it and strive to become better than them.

parse is scuffed because of rng anyway id take someone that can be constant over a funny number maniac

Normally I don't give a shit about parse discussion but opened this anyway and seeing you hop right into that Discord was absolutely hilarious. Keep on keeping on

I played with req for the first time in dsr the other day. What a toxic player he was.

People malding over this as if the overwhelming majority of dudes with top parses aren't farming rng 24/7 lmao. I was a mod in Violent Destruction's channel back when he barely had any viewers and the millisecond he got a top 1 parse (think it was Kefka) his chat was flooded by salty, jealous fflogs people.

As someone who had a rank 1 in TOP (PLD in 6.4, its like rank 15 now i think), after a certain point is just crit RNG and KT. I even had slightly suboptimal GCD use on my run and it was made up for by insane crits in my burst. Haters gonna hate, but so long as you are happy with yourself, thats what matters. Its also not like PF players have a huge disadvantage compared to static players when it comes to ultimate parses for tanks anyways. Your rotation is the same either way. You might shift CD use and positioning but that doesnt change your DPS.

I’m glad to know I’m not the only one that plays by feel. I will literally never memorize a rotation or an opener. That sounds like work and I already work at work.

So I wanted to say, for all the hate you've gotten for that video, I have equal praise for you posting that video. TOP is my very first ultimate, and I'm doing it with warrior, which is a job I have NEVER raided with before, and all things considered, its going well. Your video came at a time when my raid leader was asking for us to start optimization in early phases to meet dps checks down the line and for as much as I love the balance discord, I need the footage to understand how and where you use things and there's very little in the way of parsing videos for warriors on TOP. So thank you for being there for me in my time of need. You're the best

ey bro i cleared TEA with a green bars but you know what? i cleared TEA!!!

Ladies and gentlemen, Today, we honor King Xenosys Vex, a leader whose vision, compassion, and courage have shaped our kingdom's destiny. Under his rule, we have flourished, guided by his unwavering commitment to justice and progress. Let us celebrate his achievements and recommit ourselves to upholding the values he embodies. Long live King Xenosys Vex! Thank you.

I've cleared every ultimate and multiple savages week 1 and I'm perfectly happy to sandbag phases during prog to allow my tanks to get their cooldowns and the melees to get more gauge for the next phase etc, and I play caster dps. I've gotten a 0% on an ultimate clear while doing that and I couldn't care less. It's always funny to me seeing people get so upset over parsing.

Man I like this dudes streams. I haven’t even begun to raid yet because I don’t know where to start lol but idk what’s holding. He just told me what holding is ty

He changed his name in RU-vid to SefiXIV for future reference 😂😂😂

These people could learn a thing or two from the speedrunning community. You know when a world record speedrunner has their best run beat? They celebrate it, they congratulate their competitor, learn from it and maybe try to master their competitor's strategies, and they either accept the challenge to reclaim the throne or they move on. Obviously there are always going to be some salty exceptions to the rule but that's what they are, the salty exception and nobody likes them.

If u see this Xeno, please post the other parts too! I know he has apologized, but he really hasn't apologized for any of his behaviors to other people. From reading his discord he is deflecting all the blame onto other people (as usual). Knocking this guy out of EU pf is the best thing that can happen for EU pf. Seeing him finally have what's coming for him has been therapeutic for all the people he has bullied, witch hunted and harassed. Make the other parts!

The saddest part about this, they cry about the critrate BUT their avg. DMG per fell cleave is actually 500 dmg higher...

This reminds me when my BIL was doing some parse runs and ended up getting high up in the rankings and people messaged him how they can't lose to him because he doesn't have many ultimate clears...... Like not everyone has the time to put into ults clears. That to me hilarious XD

79.3% crit inner release do be wild tho, I'm happy if I have 50% LOL eggselent rank 1 my liege

"There is no reason to kill a phase faster than you need to." This is so true. Dsr was actually my 1st ultimate clear. We would actually hold dps before thordan 1 to nidhogg and from nidhogg to eyes so that we could bank cooldowns and let other cooldowns be available for the next phase, rather than just killing. Heck I played rdm and before the transition into the final phase when you dps down nid and hraes, I would just spam my normal spells to build gauge so I could go into final phase with full 100/100 gauge. Holding burst and cooldowns is normal. In fact it can be optimal.

Req being Req. All those people, Req, Yama and the others , probably the most obnoxious people of LPDU. The most toxic players i ever had to deal with in 10 years of playing this game.

Personally I hate holding as a healer in TOP and DSR, but those mit checks are very tight and it's often required to clear the fights, so we just hold for the team. I feel like this is totally standard. If healers care about their parses and the team wants to help them, other people can just hold for the healers. I don't understand why that healer was malding lmao.

Healers in my group always held to get the correct kills times. We even started having to skip P1 pots because we were killing too fast in the next patch.

Some people just needs to accept that FFXIV raiding is not designed with people competing over dps inn mind and therefore RNG can sometimes make or break your log.

I remember years ago when i was still playing the Game actively, i discovered you by any chance around second coil, near the beginning of final coil. At first i wasn't so sure if what you preached was the right way of playing tank, but the more i dug, the more i realized that you were right, so i started taking notes and improved my game play by a big margin. Coming heavenward, the second Raid tier, our group already clearing Brut Justice comfortably, but me thinking "mm, i know we clear but i am not happy with my performance, and i am running out of ideas how to improve", And so i queued into your stream, i was already one who was subbed and watched, and during some downtime during the stream i just asked for some "advice for brute justice as a Warrior". Not only did you answer, you went in painstakingly details of dozens "what if scenarios" that you can encounter during the fight and how you can react. I wrote all of that down that day... ALL OF IT! And guess what? next week when we went back in, Aside from my CD rotation for defense improving and making it easier to keep me alive, my DPS had a 20% increase! And it was fairly noticeable even in the fight, due to the fact that the healers had higher DPS too, and Brute justice dying a bit earlier than before. Sure, you are rough around the edges but Your name is not written with "Bullsh*t" if you catch my drift. And honestly that is what i like. Someone who IS knowledgeable and passionate about games or other interests etc., and also not too afraid to speak their mind. We need more people like you to toughen up the whimps.

Brooklyn removed that video of theirs showing use of mods pretty quickly lol what a clown

Who cares how someone gets top rank? What does top rank do? You can be whatever rank you want and as long as the raid clears and you aren't hindering your party in the process to that clear, it is successful.

It's funny how Hisshi No (guy who was #2 on the log) is shown as anonymous 🤣 Dude actually made his logs private this is so funny

ngl, I've never done a clear in any ultimates/savages save for the really old stuff for mounts way after its current. Congratulations!!

Honestly while its great for Xeems tobget first in FFlogs, there's no real point to worrying whether you are the best or not so long as you can clear the fight and aren't holding your group back.

I wanted to see those parsers back in ARR and beginning of HW when did not existed those stuff, they would probably be flaming who did savage calling them no lifers while being in the game for 20 hours just chatting. And my god, I really hope one day my biggest issue in life, that I spend time thinking about, mad about, and waste time on it, is someone's else rank in a video game, because it means my life is hella good.

I'm just glad that I don't care for my funny parse colour that much, because all of this sounds like advances whinging over nothing, at least from the people salty about the rank 1. I often play as healer, in Ultimates and Savage and the likes, and I also often go by feel, but I will bookmark certain cooldowns for certain specific points in a fight; think Temperance for Panto and Limitless Synergy...it's not really spreadsheets, but more exploring what feels like the proper response and the nstick to it, while learning the mechanics. I also prefer to be as consistent as possible with the mechanics and let the DPS roll as it happens. Could I attempt to tryhard a purple, pink or gold? Maybe, but especially on WHM with the heavy reliance on Blood Lily Direct Crits I kind of don't want to. There's probably also a bunch I could improve as is, but not without input from more experienced high level players, which I unfortunately don't have. When I play as tank (mainly GNB) or dps (mainly SMN) I tend to use the same mentality, with varying levels of success. Maybe some day I'll find the right people to "coach" me to the next level and maybe consistently land purple (which would be plenty good performance even for week 1 prog if I wanted and had the chance I assume). Also about the forbidden technology: I don't use any, and I just always go by "if you use it and get caught, have fun with the consequences". Nothing in 14 I have done so far needed more than my braincell to work out, but granted I just recently started TOP and we only just reached p3.

Been watching LPDU more from the sidelines as an EU High end/week1 raider from its inception. It's been more of a circle jerk for the "big players" from the start, only the names in question changed over time. Makes for good entertainment watching this stuff, which gets confirmed on a monthly basis, to finally enter the big stage and be visible for everyone. Least LPDU always provides content, for some its PF, for me its the same drama I saw 3 years ago~

yo upload the rest where xeno clown on him harder when he reacted to the mit sheets!

My personal take on Mods in MMOs is if I can help it I will refuse to use them. In WoW I only have 3 mods max 1) Damage Meters 2) Roleplay Profiles (I'm from an RP server) 3) Crit Tracker (cuz its fun) I don't use any UI addons or anything like that. I have to get DBM out of obligation for my raid group. I really like FFXIV no mods allowed policy very much because I prefer to play the game as the devs intend it to be played, flaws and all. I know others will disagree, but I can play the game just fine without needing extra tools, and the ones who disagree simply need to get good.

There is no winning a debate against these people. They will constantly move the goalposts on why your run don't count. They are in full absolute denial that you accidentally beat them in something you don't even care about and was just happy it happened.

I can't stand people like these. Perfect examples of the Dunning-Kruger effect

Big T, please obtain rank 1 on more jobs, as it is providing us with a great amount of content.

Require Scat is a known shiteater in lpdu.

honestly getting someone to say sorry live was the highlight of this hahaha good job xeems

these people malding over their rank 1's and I'm over here pogging cause I got my first 16.

I am waaay too late to this drama and watching these videos. It's so hillarious, having a blast and laughing my ass off - ty for this content.

congrats req ...because you lack any braincells you have allowed xeno to turn you into content and are now helping him make more money through this video .....truly a genius you are ..amazing....

As a old player not crazy player but i think decent player, it baffle me the number of player that just look at the log of the others to know if someone is good, in my 2 years of being a raid lead never did i choose someone in my roster because of their log, also people that trash talk Xeno doesnt even realize how good is Xeno and how much time it take to be so consistant in each fight and get good log or they think they do but they doesnt. Its even funnier when they trash talk Xeno while using addon that help them since they dont know what it really is to do fights without them and obviously Xeno doesnt use any addon that help in any way (he would get ban instantly because of how much attention he get). Keep going Xeno your the one that inspired me to do my best in this game !

Req's twitter is gone and brooklyn removed the video and changed his name. This is hilarious.

Imagine being so salty about someone out-parsing you with no hair.

I kinda hope that if these people ever said at any point that parses don't matter, someone else would snag those chatlogs and post them. The potential whiplash of someone at the top saying one thing yet immediately throwing a fit after being dethroned is hilarious.

People bitch about other people's success, when they themselves are incompetent and can't even come close. Winners win.

The good oh “make it make sense.”

He took the top clear video down HAHAHAHA

the only way you can't hide any plugins is, full window screen capture on your obs or install reshade to reveal all shi*s on their monitor.

BrooklynChan isn’t a clownshow. They’re the entire goddamn circus.

Remember: people get upset over a video game because they are sheltered and don't have something more consequential to be upset about.

Console players seeing PC players get mad over parses and add-ons: 🤨

I haven't ever cleared an ultimate and didn't clear the last tier of pandaemonium FeelsOkayMan

Grats on the rank 1! The show after was very entertaining too xD

I don't get it. Why are people mad for Xeno getting Rank 1 on FFLOGS? There is literally no reason to be mad at Rank 1. It means NOTHING in the grand scheme of things. It's just a good clear. Hell, at the very least, just cope and say "There are people outside FFlogs that most definitely are better than Xeno" and be done with it. Jesus Christ.

I love watching your videos while I shower, my liege

Congrats on your accomplishments. I never hate on anyone for anything ff14 content especially. I'm just happy for them

I'm not a hardcore player these days, just don't have the care or worry for it anymore. However, when I was the type to care about BiS, proper food and pots, and spreadsheet calculations I still didn't care about rank 1 parse. Why? Even I knew that rng and damage variance in calculations was a thing. This meant that the fight for #1 literally came down to crit luck and a 1~3% damage variance. As long as you can provide constant contribution to what is going on is the main factor. Following the ABC rule and knowing how to do your job...everything else just comes down to petty dick measuring where someone is always going to get butt hurt and make excuses.

This is hilarious, think ill come back a little bit before Dawn Trail. Tekken 8 and FF7 Rebirth until then.

All these videos about fflogs and Xeems is still teaching us how to use it.

i remember years ago when i was on excalibur i was the rank 1 mch and all my runs were just weekly runs i didnt care i just wanted loot. there was another mch who used to talk shit about me to my leader and tell them that i was shit and that they were better and they were someone i never even talked to or heard of before? it was just so mind boggling

I hate logs in wow and I hate them here when they are used as some competitive nonsense lol love your take on this so much lol 😂

I've never heard of Req. Has he ever cleared an ultimate week 2?

Holding in phases is SUPER common. I held all the time as a Caster (RDM) in DSR in multiple phases so Dancer and other members could build up.

I like how Leo censors curse words with the mic squeaky sound. CattoWD40

On the count of so many logs for a job there is, would the top 5 have identical rotations with crit ring being the biggest factor in the ranking?

I remember having rank one on Levi for A5S for a while all because I got a complete bullshit string of lucky crits on a double decimate add phase with a pot. My group couldn't phase skip at the time and I only had the Sephirot weapon. There was more than one person salty with me for that one and I can't even blame them.

My friend got me into ffxiv I’m not super far in (currently doing post game storm blood) but I’m enjoying it on a casual level. I started out ARR doing tank (PALD) and move to DPS for HW and SB and I’m planning on doing tank for shadow bringers. I’ve had few bad experiences with this game and I’m definitely scared to approach the intense raids/dungeons and being clowned on if I mess up. But seeing this much pushback for this toxic person makes me less anxious to approach it.

My liege, big congrats on the clear, and big applause to the super awesome parse Proud salute!!!!

My POV might be a loser POV, but I'm the one who gets to look at a CUTE strummer 🤗

WOE RANK 3 BE UPON YE

Man watching people cry about rank 1 parces is so funny when I am over here thinking it would be really nice to even clear TOP one day. Its people like this that make Yoshi P not want to add a a DPS meter to the game.

I love the fact that my favorite content creators in the MMO scene are bald or balding, I’m balding myself at 20 so hopefully I’ll get them powers they got 🤣

Proud of you milord. #1 beard, #1 Bald, #1 Parse. Well done Milord, well done.

Something I have learned about the Omega Protocol in the FFXIV community: 99.9% of the players cheat and haven't clear legitimately. Despite this, they like to flame each other out as some sort of invalidation of their clear.

Useing his mic turning sound to bleep him out is good editors. 🤭

are they still on this these fflog players need to play other content lol

As a giga casual in FF14 and sort of casual in WoW (did a bit of heroic S3 and hit 1400 M+ before taking a break). Whenever I see logs my brain turns off because I have zero understanding of logs. Its funny to watch people lose their minds over them though.
