Suggestions: Quality of Life Stuff and other suggestions

My request is petty, and likely echoed, but just to rile s'more noise: Character creation re-customization. Race I might expect to be permanent, and it seems in-game marriage still factors in sex, but I don't immediately see how changing any other feature would impact gameplay.

It's been a sour taste in my mouth since I created my namesake character that I chose a medium height, but didn't realize until afterward that these approximations are based more on Japanese averages, and that what I was looking for was "tall".

So, charge for it or what have you, but allow means to change characters' features. Taking sex as one such, change in-game marriage to be independent of character features.

Now that we have Home Point crystals displayed on the map, which I really find useful, I would ask if it is possible to add the same functionality to the abyssea conflux crystals? I would like to see on the map where the crystals are and which number is which.

I agree. Waypoints, too.

we should be able to /shout, /yell, /say and access the menu while we are dead just as you can in FFXIV

also we should be able to see a list of EVERYONE in the linkshell and who joined and who left, just as we can do so in FFXIV.

Some Might just say to you: Then way don't just stay playing FFXIV instead of dabbling in ffxi. {you know i'm right about this with some peeps here} ;-) well I guess SE/Dev-team wants to keep some things different about ffxi instead of turning it into another ffxiv game would be my guess as to why they might not do this but liking the idea none the less.

Can we have Smores as a recipe in game? i'm sure folks can think of other snack idea recipes to be included in the game?

I'd like to see job specific food (anything to bring some life into crafting is good actually) thinking silly things along the line of random name, sugarmuffin for dnc, that gives enhanced samba stats....like....longer duration or more hp drained till the food effect runs out.

You already posted that in this thread, word for word. We get your point.

Could we get the recast timer on Nexus Cape from 20 hours down to 10 minutes Like the Warp ring is please.

Our plan is to continue to add map icons regarding movement around the world, and we’re looking into addressing waypoints and confluxes in the future.

We’ll be adding a couple more icons to be displayed on the map in the October version update as well.

Can you make the icons a little bigger? they're too tiny.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet, if so ill add to their voice. Can we get a way to disable the map that pops up when choosing HP and guide destinations, similar to the option to deactivate the confirmation on waypoints.

Also to add to Krashports post can you look into reducing the time on WotG retrace staves.

While They are at it the Devs should change the maps of certain zones like Yorcia wield, Yohator/yhutunga jungle. They are completley useless...

Those maps are better than nothing. Though if they would draw in the hidden paths on the jungle type maps it would make them less confusing.

*points to Stompa's thread about the hp warp pop up maps*

Please hit like on that one lol.

Could we have Mog Garden(s) added to the Home Point Crystals, Please.

We need the minimum for einherjar's entry removed as its near impossible to get 5 ppl for t1 and t2 feathers which essentially locks you out of the title. Failing that make all chambers give the same ichor so there is no hesitation to join any t1-3 shout. Really no point in having ichor discrepancies when all chambers are soloable, the original point of the higher reward is lost.

Similar, would it possible to reduce the recast on the Allied Nation staves? I would be fine with a 1 hour cooldown.

I think it's time they return the Home Point to Al Zahbi. Would be nice to not have to walk an entire zone length for appraisals or chocobos in Aht Urhgan.

It's not like they have to worry about there being 600+ people in the zone since it's rare for the entire server to have that many people.

An idea to change zhayolm remnants 3 people fully cell unlocked by 5th floor as this denies players 6 pieces of equipment (5th and in turn 6th floor frog) This needs to go to 1 or 2 players if there is less entering.

I don't know the code behind the game, but I have a hunch this could be difficult to implement because Mog Gardens are like Mog Houses... quasi-zones tailored for individual players, and not common zones like everything else.

well if not a home point in the old fear of folks setting there there reviving point to it, they could at least due the SoA type runic portals between Aht Urhgan whitegate and Al Zahbi instead out the old reason it was removed form Al Zahbi in the first place. Just thinking of an alternative way they could do this if there still afraid of the old reson to its removal during besieged battles. ;-)

1) Fasten the time that mobs take to reach Al Zabhi for Besieged when they reach level 8.

2) Put Dynamis timer to 1h but double the drop rate.

yes PLEASE. That would be great.

So i was just thinking how cool it would be to allow monstrosity characters in dynamis but only exception to the rule is that we actually still able to receive the drops while being in such form. What are your thoughts? :confused: :cool:

I would love to use monstrosity mobs in differnet content but they get like 10k+ HP and some nice trait bonuses. Might be bit overpowered in some areas lol, I don't see why not for old content though.

Speaking of Aht Urgan, why is it that if you take a warp rune from Adoulin, it takes you out to the wilderness instead of inside the city gates? This needs to be changed IMO. Very inconvenient to have to walk to the city in this case where all other warp runes take you where you expect to go - where the description states.

Well don't get me wrong that SE has added several more storage mog type of devices to which I really love them but kind of disappointed they never have done a personal inventory where its like a 2nd page inventory on your main character that you could slide over to and it slides like the map markers do too. I think it would be cool if it was there while your full but all the additional items falling past that point would fall right to the 2nd page main inventory of your character. Just a thought I had wanted to share and see what befalls from it via posting it here.

I still wish I could remember how you add npc's and stuff like that to the green map markers and swear someone showed me how to do it once via commands but forgotten how to for those peculiar color of markers and yet I wonder if they'll ever add more colored map markers to their map system as well. I also run out of space when labeling, naming stuff with those map markers for remembrance. Anyone knows, plz post a response here!?

I agree that something should be done about the 5th floor frog, if they can't change the pop conditions, then possibly add the drops to the poroggo madame on the other side. As for the 6th floor frog, you can still pop that no problem, just go up the other side with the frog where you only have to unlock 1 person.

So i was thinking this might be cool to have in game celebrations of of everyone's real life birthdays by receiving something from A.M.E.N. or the MMHU which could be done by delivery box or another method. The idea came to me first back when we received mog pells or other items and I think one of those past event gift items was in a shape of a present that took out of your Mog Houses Received box. Anywho, I Was thinking since FFXI is basically celebrating its Birthday on November 11th why not do something even more grand for those who also having there birthdays falling on that very same day?

Side Note: My Birthday Just so Happens to fall on the 11th of November every year as well.

So, what do you SE/Dev teams do you think this could be done on a grand scale of thing's to come in november?

we should be able to /shout, /yell, /say and access the menu while we are dead just as you can in FFXIV

also we should be able to see a list of EVERYONE in the linkshell and who joined and who left, just as we can do so in FFXIV.

also shorten the recast time on summoning your wyvern for Dragoon, every other pet job can summon their pet instantly, if drg dies they have to wait 20 minutes, the timer needs to be shortened.

Um I agree the wyvern recast needs to be shortened but only summoner can "summon pet instantly."

I've had plenty of times in content like (say) walk of echoes where my pet gets caught in a insta KO AOE right after I summon it and I basically sit there for almost 3 minutes wishing I could do something.

I really do think what this game needs more than anything is just a face-lift for its battle interface that clearly identifies different enhancements and enfeebles as they exists on party members and other targets. That would improve my quality of life on this game more than anything else would. Because constantly having to watch the chat log and scroll up through battle spam to identify different ailments and effects as they occur is a huge pain. As is trying to figure out the magical combination of filters that helps the most in this regard.

I would like to cancel Nation Missions as a way to work around my stuck mission, much like Assault and Campaign missions. Have a wait period like next Conquest Tally to take on a new Mission. Not sure if this suggestion has been made, but if so, I add my interest to any previous mention.

When choosing from a list (atma, waypoints, porter moogles, etc) could we get more than three lines to choose from at a time?

That would be nice I agree. The magian trial selections can be tedious as well.

I suspect it has to do with the engine the game uses or something and can only process so many choices at once. That's the only logical reason I can come up with as to why they make the selection processes on this game so convoluted.

It's probably because they think people play at a 640x480 resolution and/or on PS2, and they can't figure out dynamic window resizing.

That might fix my glitch where I've been stuck on Lightbringer for a year now, and the NPCs talk as if I've completed it, but I can't turn in the mission completion because I haven't gotten the KIs or killed the NMs in Uggalepih, and the KIs to spawn them won't let me collect them.

I saw the kid npc Janta-Jonta in windurst waters fall through the floor right in front of edge the Cookers Guild Sales-store exactly where the edge of the huge four plie-tile's corners meet of the wooden tiles and watched him pop up slower at the opposite side about same position dropped as it was coming backup which is the side where "Timbre Timbers" is located at 1:20 am CST my time did it continuously for about a good five minutes at least if not more.. I attempted to get screen shots of him falling down but it was to instant on the fall to capture it but i did manage to finally catch some pics of him coming back up with his head above the floor bored while his body was still below as if coming up some stairs from out of the water. This happened Sunday nov. 8th. Just thought the dev team should know of it happening...Thanks.

Hmm daylights savings time ended Nov. 2nd ... is still cst then?
