View Full Version : Anything else?

I problem that I have that happends alot around in Vana'diel, is the timeconsuming enter-and-reenter a menu to get the buffs/trades etc, that I want.

Like, in Campaign battle. When you select a buff that you want, you have to talk to the NPC again to get another buff. So you have to reenter the "Temporary items"-menu again, select the 30 or 45 or 60-Note Items, get the Mana boost this time, or the Body boost or the scroll of Instant reraise or w/e... Its very time consuming and very frustrating. And when you have a NM that spams AoE and you keep getting kicked out of the menu, it gets even more annoying >_>

I think this problem should be resolved with a "Anything else?"-sentence that would pop up in the log and you would still be in the menu that u select temp items from. That way you can choose as many items as you want from the menu in 30-note items, then you can go to the 45-note Items when you are done and lastly the 60-Note Items. This would skip the reenter-of-the-temporarlyitems-menu-issue and it would save alot of time.

And in Abyssea when I want atmas. I select a Atma I want and get kicked out of the menu. But I am still missing 2 atmas. So I have to press the NPC again, go down to the "Infuse me with Atma" option and scroll through the pages I was on and select the 2nd atma. Then I have to redo the proccess cos I want the 3rd atma...

Please SE, "Anything else?" ^_-

The same problem is when I want to buy many items in Abyssea. Since I have so much cruor that I have no idea what to do with it, I can buy tons of items with it and sell at a NPC. After I purchase a item, I need to press the NPC again, select the "Items" menu and keep doing that til I have all the items I want...

"Anything else?" :D

The same goes for temp items and, Dominion Tactician items. The list goes on and on...

Since people were tired of Joacim only giving one stone at a time, they whined about it and "tada!" we get all 4 stones at once now^^ I figured I could try the same with this post:D

While I'm not bothered by the issue as the original poster seems to be, I would still very much like to see something like this added.

Bumping, because it's such a good, and simple idea. Would hate to see this passed over and ignored.

Fully support this, a very good idea which shouldn't be hard to implement.

I also like this. I would also like to not have the "event skipped" message come up if i cured or casted on by another player...that is very annoying.

Great idea. So annoying to have to enter the menu twice to get a reraise scroll and a teleport scroll from the guard npcs, or to have to interact with the FoV manual several times to get a page/buffs

This is a good idea; honestly it'd save a good amount of time.

Between this and the Atma sets that were stated to be coming in the future (where you could set three atmas in a "set" and then just select the set rather than finding individuals), this will certainly save the amount of time spent in prep trying to get everything done and set up. Time is rather valuable in Abyssea, after all.

This is a very nice idea, thank you Kaych for bringing it up and actually doing it in a coherent and easy to read manner.

Very good idea, but as was said before, I would appreciate it even more if buffs/cures wouldn't skip your event, that stuff really gets to you after a while.

That actually worked out in my favor when I was doing Campaign. I accidentally clicked to remove my tags and get my Allied Notes when I was trying to buy an item, and I shouted for someone to cure me to cancel the dialog before it gave me my notes and took away my tags. Event skipped has uses.

What would be nice is to adjust the Pxyis in Abyssea so they will tell us the contents when we first click on them, rather than having to go down to a 2nd tier menu.

i.e. This chest is vanishing in 150 seconds, and it contains a familiar stone fragment

Too much cruor can easily be solved with buying brews to solo NMs you want items from. Come now you must have have every thing you want already, and it burns through your curor fast.

Replicate the Sigil menu scheme---get sigil and select all the buffs you want and then select done and you get it all in one shot. Always wondered why they made it so simple in the cities, but so broken at the Campaign Arbiters, where timing is more crucial.

And something REALLY needs to be done about that event skipped mess. This is a long standing issue with campaign. I understand the need to keep people from exploiting things like dropping hate when in menu and such...but there's really no reason for you not to be able to talk to an NPC (also an issue with using a conflux you already activated in abyssea). If they aren't going to take out the interruption effect for Campaign, then do something about the NPC's being in harm's way. Either move them away from the fort, or change the pathing of the bosses so they don't go straight to a spot right behind the NPC and start spamming AOE's.

In light of this thread I created another called "Quick Fix". http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/threads/5120-Quick-Fix

There you can post all the annoying things similar to this topic that SE should fix^_-

Allright!

Maybe SE is actually reading our threads XD
In the Abyssea update, they are saying this about Atmas:

"*When selecting from this list, players will be able to infuse two or three atma at once."

I am hoping they will expand this to all areas in the game. Like choosing multiple items when trading in CP, Cruor etc.

Grounds and Fields of Valor is also another example that would be great to have a "Anything Else?" option on ^_-
