!!!!!
Also lower the time on TOAU AF quests. No reason it should take a week to get the whole set anymore. Campaign weapnskills should be able to be quested..Like why doesn't RNG and THF have bloody quarrel already>.< always found it to be abit odd the some jobs don't have a A+ in their job specific skills hint hint SMN.

Dynamis is a normal zone which can hold as many people as any regular zone.
Salvage is instanced, but more than 1 instance can exist at the same time.
Each Limbus zone is instanced and exactly 1 instance can exist at any time. You go in, everyone else is locked out.

That's why you need a lockout timer on Limbus.

Yeah but i'm sure it could be fixed, changed, redone at some point? Dynamas used to have the same problem as limbus years ago but now with all the changes, monsters added with a touch of higher level's, processing in dyna, time hour glass was a solid item in dyna leaders hands breaking into duplicates until it eventually became a permanent KI item, etc. with all those changes dyna was transformed into a different entrance form of a battlefield and i'd say if the FFXI crew wanted to do it with assuming many touch ups, they probably could change it over to be a workable situation for all to enter.

BB>Wallace since you mentioned Aht Urhgan quests, I'll add to that with I wish they would make a change to the Aht Urhgan Mission 46: Imperial Coronation where you have to pick out equipping some appropriate gears or rather an appropriate Body piece of gear which is the same as you had to do for Aht Urhgan Mission 17: Guests of the Empire.

Umm... Basically what I was trying to say is there should be more gear options past old max cap level 75 with gear selection options shown to be stopping at that level as well [since it's like everyone says we're being past the years of 2007>2014 anymore<{whatever}] since we even have newer looking gears or redone gears all the way up to there I-level's counterparts like Reforged Empyreans, Reforged Relics, Reforged Artifacts, even lower level gears that never got there +1 counterparts but now exist through unity/other methods with an I-Level version on the upgraded type of their regular versions of that gear type or gear set which should be added to work for these two missions progression. I'm also sure the Adoulin Councilor's Garb would fit into the gears you could be wearing for this mission's 46 cut-scenery of the Imperial Coronation.

Also could add more gear description Titles that would be fitting into seeking the more gears that fit into those categories, like for the reforged blue mage empyrean body >Hashishin Mintan< & <Hashishin Mintan +1> could be White with Blue speckled silver Embroidery or White with a Blue Speckled Pattern for instance.

Now for the main reason I started this article is because i'm having a problem remembering which equipment title I choose for an option on the body pattern/embroidery piece to wear and I have /checked back with the two Salem Sentinels NPC's that should be giving a hint as to what the selection was that I had chosen but instead I just get text from Naja Salaheem stating something about not being late for the Imperial Coronation with giving her a bad reputational impression. I actually wish there was an option from naja to reset and being able re-choose or have her after a period of time asking you did you change your mind on the type of clothes you wanted to select to wear to the imperial coronation in her fashionable tone of voice way thus I could finally complete this mission easier into finally get it done. ;0 ;) :cool:

^*website* :( :confused:

The YouTube Live Vana'dial video playing in small window at the upper right-side inside a border box while looking at your screen of the USA www.playonline.com website does not have a volume adjustment feature's anymore as it will just play silently but here is the thing after jumping in my game of ffxi or doing something else with looking at web pages of my chrome tabs up after a time even with it in the background the sound will jump in and just blast my apartment or blast my ears off if i have my head phones on.
I have checked on all other stuff it could be but I keep coming back to the fact it has to be the websites defaults with no volume adjustments to adjust it anymore?

While i'm at it why isn't there a volume adjustment options yet to our in game play-online viewer first log-in screen to log onto the pol viewer screen but once your past it and logged onto the viewer then the volume adjustments exist for that section of the viewer and further options for volume adjustments upon getting logged into ffxi??

"SE can you get that fixed on the Pol's website???"
{As I tend to leave that website up for a reminder of current events or current news + new posts that may arise}

I moved this post here in fear that it some-how might not be noticed under the now closed thread I had just posted it in like yesterday.

Yeah, That's happened to me a couple of times. 4:00 AM and all of the sudden FFXI music is randomly blasting out of my office. It's woke me up twice now. Super annoying.

So, I'm not sure if this has been mentioned, or if people are still interested in Ballista. But now that we have Lockstyle can we implement this feature into the game so that way we can swap out gear? I know that the movement penalty was for people that abused it and broke the lock-on during matches. But to have a True Uncapped match against people that know their jobs, might be fun? It can be done so that Lockstyle takes effect with the current gear you have equipped at the start of the match, and remains locked until the match is over or you leave the zone. If you rejoin the match from zoning out, your equipment locks the moment to take an Aggressive/Supportive Action on one of the people playing. Just a thought, I miss watching the Ballista Tournaments of long ago.

So do I but they just simply disappeared from most everyone's interest list with all of the other content out that came to pass..

I know this is an old request but could we have an option to play in borderless windowed mode?
Along with a bar to adjust brightness ingame.

I'd love it if we could get an item that allowed us to use the costumes arising from monster abilities (such as Rani's Enthrall)...no real point to it, but I'd like running around town as a Caturae :-)

Windows 10 pro basically does this Border-less with my ffxi game all except for the title bar at the top of the screen that lingers there permanently while I'm playing the ffxi game! :D

Just wish there was an option under the ffxi's own config tool to hide the Final Fantasy XI title bar at the top of the screen allowing more of the game graphics screen to be shown behind it and pops back up only after it is highlighted with your computers arrow allowing you to click on minimize button if needed to be honest! ;)

SE i noticed these typo's in the Forum Top >English Forums >Updates >Version Updates Aug 5, 2015 (JST) Version Update <<<{thread}.

You have Barthundra listed twice in the listing of this post of item related section:

Hasim in Lower Jeuno (H-9) will now sell the following items: Cure IV / Curaga II / Curaga III / Silena / Stona / Viruna / Cursna / Protect III / Protectra II / Protectra III / Shell III / Shellra / Shellra II / Shellra III / Barfire / Barblizzard / Baraero / Barstone / Barthunder / Barwater / Barfira / Barblizzara /Baraera / Barstonra / "Barthundra / Barthundra" / Barwatera / Barsleep / Barpoison / Barparalyze /Barblind / Barsilence / Barsleepra / Barpoisonra / Barparalyzra / Barblindra / Barsilencera /Barpetrify / Barvirus / Barpetra / Barvira / Gain-VIT / Gain-MND / Gain-AGI / Gain-CHR / Gain-STR / Gain-INT / Gain-DEX / Boost-VIT / Boost-MND / Boost-AGI / Boost-CHR / Boost-STR / Boost-INT / Boost-DEX /Inundation / Addle / Holy / Banishga II

{What was the 2nd Barthundra supposed to be if anything??}

This typo in the event section with a misplacing of the letter p with spacing: Katsunaga in Mhaura (G-10) now displays new types of fish when inquiring about types of fish that "thep layer" has reeled in. {Obvious seen correction: the player}

Now I was wondering what happened to those who have pointed this type of stuff out in the past on previous SE news posted threads as well??

I saw with the FFXIV release in Korea happeneing, they have a different subscription option, on top of the 30-day one. They have a 30-hour subscription, which is priced a bit lower than the 30-day one. Since I only get one day a week to play, I generally only play less than 30 hours a month. Why does only Asia get such a subscription model? I've only seen it for MMOs in China and Korea. I would love this sort of thing.

Now that we can see the status effect icons of other players, having different icons for stun, bind, and terror would be helpful.

Could we get an; Buy all Key item(s) option and remove the extra dialogue when talking with Dimmian in Eastern Adoulin (E-6) after you talk with them the first time, Please and thank you.

In a similar manner to mannequins, would it be possible to have a weapon rack? I'd love to be able to put my old (but still kept for sentimental reasons!) elemental staves on display for example. A simple wooden stand, placed in the Mog House....

Art.

Would it be possible to add a search feature to equipment sets, such as a command or an option in the equipment sets menu? I think that equipment sets were long overdue and very helpful, but, as an example, if you have multiple sets using the same piece of gear, a way to find where the piece is referenced (such as if you're replacing it with a better piece) is currently limited to checking all of your sets one-by-one and looking for the outdated piece. A way to output something like "[X gear] was found in equipment set #3" via a search result would be very helpful in keeping equipment sets updated and current!

Phial of Fantasia like in FFXIV. I would gladly pay for the option to do a race change. Bored of Looking at the same character for 12 years. I realize I could easily level a mule up but I just don't have it in me to re-do all the missions again. I would even settle for just picking a new hairstyle, but would be nice to have more than the 2 choices in the character creation.

Yes, many in the ffxi game have wanted this for years for the same reasons or some of the same reasons you mentioned as for mine would be a gender change on the same old main character from a female character to a male game character and would love it if I could do this before I quit the game by march of 2016 including complete everything in the game because of promising my family, friends and my fellow church members that I'd work on my real life since promising them that this game is ending by march 2016 as well.

The ability to search for an item your main or mules have and where it's located: example search item "Oxblood" results Mule3 Mog Sack quantity 2.

I tried to find materials for my AF quests today. For several of the pieces, I couldn't find a single item. I thought maybe I could just bite the bullet and buy the materials and try to find someone to craft them but none of the materials to make those were available on the AH either. This is just demoralizing. Just let us bypass this step and throw gil or imperial coins at the NPC. :(

:confused: Yeah, can anyone else confirm there having an issue of not receiving the cutscene with there characters for the Rhapsodies mission "Ever Forward" upon clicking the Aht-urhgan's Whitegate Palace Door and nothing happens! But you zone into your home city {present day} and get the presumably next cs in the storyline even though you know you didn't get the previous mission storyline complted?? :confused:

{Thanks for the responses, if any!}

This is based on the way ffxiclopedia has the layout in missions shown, Just so you know!}

You need to go further in ToAU missions. There's a "split path" for that Rhapsodies mission so to speak, but it all revolves around you not being past a certain point. Essentially, Aphmau needs to be "in" whitegate and not out in a field or dungeon somewhere.

Yeah, I had that happen I had to go to that dungeon outside of whitegate (name is blanking on me atm) and do next quest. Then I tried the palace door and it worked.

Yeah, think this may be it Olor, thanks you two for replies this far! :):cool:

This isn't a direct QoL improvement, but it's something I would really like to have added...

Please make a way to turn off the "NEW CHALLENGE" graphic that pops up on Timed Records of Eminence quests. I'd also like to see the Escha Bead/Silt pouches be applied to an existing chat filter, or new filter. I've turned them all on and I still see people spamming them. It'd be nice to be able to filter some of this stuff out.

Would it be possible to finally be able to use items inside our mog house? It would be nice to be able to take that one magic scroll that you've been holding in your mog house inventory and use it without having to zone out of your mog house.

Another suggestion I have, but I'm not sure how it would work with summoner and beast, but would it be possible to have our pets out either inside of our mog house or mog garden? For example, our automaton could either be sitting in a corner/bed/chair or somewhere dancing. Our wyvern could be perched on top of something or laying down somewhere. For summoners maybe if they have carby out have carby doing something.

I think they want you to use your little mog island for that.

Can we add a Goblin Mystery Box to our Mog Gardens?

Would it be possible to warp from one Waypoint to all others? For example, warping from Kamihr Drifts #2 strait to Morimar Basalt Fields #3 without having to go back to town first. I realize it's a small beef, but it does get a little annoying at times heh.

Please revert the changes to F8 targeting implemented in the Sept. 16, 2015 patch. With Trusts being so common in the game the change makes it very likely that you will target one of your Trusts, which is already easily done with F2-F6. As it was, it was very convenient for targeting foes without having to sift through your Trusts. Now it's much less useful.

The issue I'm referring to from the patch notes:

Quote:

---

This issue wherein pressing F8 when a monster is in a player's field of vision would give targeting priority to monsters rather than non-combat NPCs directly in front.

---

Please change it back... that is so annoying.

Yeah..made me feel like I'm playing XIV again where I target everything BUT what I wanted to.

That was an "issue"? Isn't that what it was supposed to do?

Thanks for all the suggestions, I've forwarded them to the development team. Some of you are on to our tricks, but we'd still like to share quality of life changes that we’re looking into.

Currently, we're checking to see if we can increase the amount of silt pouches and bead pouches that can be stacked from 12 to 99.

Good deal Grekumah.

Can we for the love of God please change the main menu to either:

1. status, equipment, abilities, magic, items, synthesis, ect...

2. status, equipment, magic, abilities, items, synthesis, ect...

I swear abilities used to be up by magic before ( I could be wrong ) but it seems really retarded to move it down under craftin menu. magic and abilities are things you can do and should be grouped together. This has been buggin me since synthesis menu was added.

Also please allow us to buy more than one rem chapter or etched memory at a time with sparks. I think i remember a response once about this as to prevent mistakes. but im more liable to make a mistake each time i have to go into the menu than the one time purchase of all the chapters I can buy at the moment. I dont see why we cant buy more than one if we can buy more than one refractive crystals at a time.

It's okay. We can still be friends! Maybe we'll see you at PAX East again? :D
