Save the Moogle! A Ransom Note.

[Jyoeru]

Dear *%^$%#,

A cute Moogle by the name of ^&$%##$ is being held captive in Mor Dhona. A small group of players is responsible for his capture, and willing to see to his release, but they have made some requests. Please hurry, their supply of kupo nuts is thin.

1) One player, we'll call him Baghozi, says that the facing requirements need be changed. He appreciates how when casting an offensive spell he will face his target. However, he found himself burned by fire when trying to heal one day because while healing while running away, he turned to his faithful tank and landed in a vat of red death. He says auto-face should only be applied to hostile targets, and that healing targets should not interfere with his running.

2) Another healer, named Shilanka Daderp, says her allies keep dying because she can't discriminate dispellable debuffs from the myriad other buff/debuff icons on UI name plates. She says that when she tries to read the icons as they pop up, she dies. She requests that the UI becomes modifiable so that she can easily see when she needs to recast renew or dispel a problematic debuff.

3) Another request is made by one Iam Nearsighted. He asks that camera zoom be open for modification to allow for greater distances. As it stands, Iam says he is having trouble seeing all of the things he needs to see because the camera is too close to him. While he loves admiring himself with all of the various closeups, he says utility is far more important, and that he can stare at himself all day long anywhere he likes, but that he should like to see everything else when adventuring.

4) Finally, the last dema--err request--comes from Bartholowmew Bean. He says that when adventuring in parties of 8 or more, he needs to keep his tanks and healers together for healing purposes. He would love to see some customization of the UI plates for this purpose. He says he's considered getting some mods from a website, but that he knows a friend who is friends with a friend who was told by the uncle of the daughter of a friend's grandfather's great grandson's friends friend that sometimes those sites give your login information to vile creatures called gold spammers. He'd rather not find out that he'd been standing in Limsa Lominsa, naked, and asking people to buy gil.

So... there you have it. A few humble requests from some barbarian players who have a moogle holed up at some unknown location. The moogle is exhausted from being pinched and petted and tickled, and his food stores are short in supply. Please save the moogle.

SE doesn't negotiate with terrorists, it's in the ToS.

PETA is sure to get wind of this

No need to involve the authorities. I am sure this can be resolved privately.

While I wouldn't consider a lot of the things you listed as "top priority".. I love how you presented them and agree they are features I would like to see included at some point. So, thumbs up for making me smile.

are we talking about party lists here? if so go into social lists > party and - mouse: drag the names to where you want them on the list - gamepad: press A/X move the names up or down and then press B/O

Can maybe help on that one and buy the moogle a few more days

On PS3 try holding L1 and pulling back on R3 to zoom out, R3 forward to zoom in. Think thats the camera control lol.
Not sure about PC controls :/

He scrolls out with mouse wheel, but it hardly zooms very far. They said that they will try to find more kupo nuts because people are trying to think of existing solutions. So, there is that

Very amusing post. XD

Also, you do make some valid points too. ^^

For the zooming out issue I am able to zoom out very far in Primals and such. Make sure your 'camera' is not hitting a wall or other barrier.

Yoshida has reported saying the following "Please look forward to it." Best look forward to it.
