Suggestions: Quality of Life Stuff and other suggestions

A white choco would be nice I've raised racers diggers a few with different colors yellow/red feather tips green/yellow tips etc but no white....I've Been raising them since we first got the update long ago so I've mixed and matched double colored red/red blue/red I've had almost purple black red ect lol so how bout white?lol

It would be awesome if we got a Chocobo for a Trust that we could mount then ride!, here's to wishful thinking! ^^

Definitely - I've done every content with a collection of jobs, the "general" base will only want the path of least resistance, hence the current outrage.

Seeing that Teodor gets En-silence could Red Mage get as well please!

Could we please have Arbitrix, Habitox and Specilox placed by the Curio Vendor Moogle(s) in there respective towns, it would make zoning back and forth from buying Keys just to trade to these Goblins less redundant.

With cheap warp scrolls and an unlimited warp ring with only 10min recast, there is no need for Warp2 in today's FFXI. The only use it gets nowadays is allowing someone be a complete jerk and screw you. For example, few hours ago someone in my party used it on me just before our skirmish ended so i didn't get any of my loot. Instead of completely removing the spell, could also just make it so we are given the option of returning to HP when it is cast on us. Basically, the same as when we are KO'd.

I disagree, There are complete "jerk(s)" that go AFK which they need to be removed or everyone else would/could suffer by loosing loot, in this case just don't play with BLMs or go AFK.

Avoid blm and /blm or just afk myself? That's your solution? So dumb...but you do have a good point about the afk'ers. For that, just make it so the option to take it or not only lasts a minute or 2. Problem fixed, unless they're sitting there watching the screen while afk then they aren't technically "afk" so you lose your justification in using it anyway.

in this case just DON'T play with BLMs or go AFK. Key word is DON'T, also it wasn't a direct attack on "you" so no need to take it personal.

I agree if the option had a short timer without an option being made within that time frame said person would get warped anyways. ^^

Would it be possible to reduce the repop time for all Abyssea timed-pop NMs ?
The fights don't last long at all but the process of waiting 10~20min each time because you're missing one KI to pop a boss gets old real fast when farming for empy, and that's even worse if someone else is farming the same NMs.

I was wondering if we could add the Copper A.M.A.N Voucher's to the list as an Exchangeable for some guild points too?? I don't know if SE would say well maybe 2 or 3 vouchers would allow only so much guild points per exchange or not but I liked the idea thus I'm asking would it be Possible?:p:D

So were Silver and Gold AMAN Vouchers ever planned? Copper implies the lowest tier with higher ones intended.

We've discussed this before in older threads, but I'd like to share some updated auction house information with you all.

The development team is planning on changing the auction house in a way that adjusts the listing time and transaction fees in the upcoming November version update.

...Seriously? I'm all for adding some ease to the content but capping lights on Voidwatch is easy, and this feels like a case of "I just want to smash things and get loot." Why not gut the content completely, so that you click the void and get free loot? Most times I'll go BLM/SCH with a full support trust crew (usually Ulmia, Joachim, Koru-Moru, Apururu, Moogle) and if the procs aren't to my liking, I can /fume and they'll shift again. Given what a large chunk of procs are elemental spells, capping lights should be extraordinarily easy. And before anyone goes on about how hard certain NMs are, I'd like to counter that phase displacers are cheap at only 1k each.

How about next batch of RoV ki's we get a discount on sparks purchases?

Make the hunt for those rem 1~5's that lil bit easier.

I want to just smash things and get loot. I hate the VW system. It is perhaps the worst drop system ever invented (possibly even worse than the stupid picture system from ZNM). I get that SE made the proc system so that people would be encouraged to bring more jobs to the alliance, but it isn't alliance content any more. It's solo content and the proc system now has no purpose.

Okay I wasn't sure or couldn't remember if it was discussed but thanks! Any new word on the AH, if they've found alternative ways to auction house more item's up on yet or is it still being the same as it already is, Grekumah?


Off to the side of everything written above: i've read in the past News over it in the article forum's on this but yet I'm always hoping the dev/creator teams can be smartly inventive in/with coming up something new that's like an AH, functions like an AH into having an 2nd option or I guess in a way a 2nd building that can hold way more item's then the current ah ever did being in the direction/way the game has been going with their usefulness in re-inventiveness which woud mean a reforged AH if you will think of it in that direction. Hope some of you got a chuckle of the saying a "Reforged" AH! :cool: :) {AH = Auction House}

Rem's Chapters cover 330 different pieces of equipment. They're not all outdated. And even if they were.... why would you want to make them easier to obtain instead of just not obtaining them? Nobody goes after Fafnir for the Riddill anymore.

Some outdated gear has macro uses, that's why, not to mention some people are completionists, but nevertheless you never answered my question, what is Ugh about it?

My Questions on the costume Flan Head gear piece and the +1 version with it ending in a few hours was it non-existent from the Halloween event this year or was it just my bad luck in receiving it on either character? As i've tried at least 90 trades of sweets on blondelle for the +1 version since I found that she had the normal version on a storage slip i'm assuming from last years event and have tried to obtain the basic one on Yogorock but just keep on getting the Trick Flan temporary costume instead.

I guess my question really is was it removed from this event this year or is there a type of bug going on instead? Could it of been or Rather Should of it been placed on the halloween moogle shops for purchasing if it was removed from the trick flan simply by trading acceptable sweets??

We've started providing this information for newly added foods since the previous version update and continue to do so moving forward. However, when it comes to older foods, there's an enormous amount of items to detail. We may be able to provide this data, but first we need to identify a plan to undertake this massive workload.

I really like the changes with the Crepe which gave decent magic accuracy. I'd like to suggest introducing new quality foods that that gives significant boosts to two stats together taking into account to Content or re-adjust some existing food and increase the cap. Looking at very old foods such as some sushi and red curry
and Tavnazian Salad/Tacos, they still to this day grant a decent amount of stats, and there some new foods that were added that doesn't give big hybrid stats to accuracy and attack for players, but there are some that boosts that high for pets which is a very good thing. So I want to see if they could do the same for the players by creating new hybrid high Accuracy and Attack foods together. I like to see better quality foods that boosts more than 1 relevant stat in high numbers and when taking account into doing very high level content. I'd like to see food giving a decent amount to both accuracy and attack with more than 70+ and 80+ respectively, or food with big bonuses to Accuracy and Defense in one for tanks. Stats such as +6 STR and +6 DEX isn't just enough, I want to see more foods on the line of +80 Accuracy and +90 attack in one food.

When you compare the old food Red curry Bun (introduced years ago)and the new food Pork Cutlet (introduced august 5th update), the difference is the pork cutlet has 25 less attack but has +5 store TP but that's nothing big when you need accuracy in very high content. So they should boost some stats in existing foods to increase the cap and add a relevant stat on top of it, or introduce brand new high level content food with high hybrid stats (Accuracy/attack +80/100)

Unlike Utsusemi, Treasure Hunter is not displayed as a buff icon, therefore, this is impossible to accomplish due to the system.

Actually, you could even allow us to switch the weapon without restarting. It's not like the quest is different for each weapon.

---

Checking to see which Mythic weapon you’ve started is not impossible; however, we’ll need to add a process where players check with Paparoon. This isn’t something we’ll investigate right away, but post-January we may consider looking into this.

As for the ability to switch which Mythic you’ve started, we’ll never allow this. We regard Mythic weapons as some of the highest caliber weapons available, and as such, we’d like players to carefully consider which they choose.

We have no plans to do this.

Shadow Lord (5-2)

You may want to consider lowering the difficulty of this fight. I'm not sure if you mention "Maat" Prior to this but this is quite the roadblock in the story you have set up.

I wanted the nostalgia of doing all the old mission at their level but it's taking me way to long to get past this one.

First, I have to choose my class wisely. RDM/WHM for backup heals, attacks and chainspell + curaga (second form). Then I have to find gear, which doesn't exist at these levels in order to land those magic attacks on him.

Anyway, I think the difficulty is too much with trust since you have to fill all the gaps with your one role.

My suggestion would be to lower his level from the stated 60-55 and possibly change his physical immunity to increased defense and evasion. This way you would notice that his form has changed to a magic stance, but it'd still be possible to land an attack here and there to get off a weaponskill to kill that stance.

I think it's a really cool fight and I would have loved to try it back when the game was 50, but in light of the "get to 99" story you got going on, it's a little out of place.

I don't really know what you want to achieve here, as far as I remember there is nothing suggesting what level you have to be apart from the wiki and that's edited and maintained by fellow players, if you want to do it at level 55-60, do it at level 55-60. There is no level cap to the BCNM, you can do it at whatever level you feel comfortable.

I know you can just scale up. What I mean is that it would be nice if it was possible to kill at level 50 since at this point the game caps you at level 50, and raising your level isn't actually mentioned in it yet.

See, he's level 60, which was a great design when the game came out, because you would have needed a BLM to land elemental magic, and a RDM to land enfeebs, but if you're trying to do this with trusts, you're going to need to play a few roles.

Because of this I tried RDM/WHM (for chainspell + curaga second form) I could barely land enfeebls (slow/para) and because of my drop in elemental magic skill I could barely land attacks.

I was saying in the above that lowering him to Lv.55 might be better. but after I leveled to 55 and tried him, i found it too easy.
If His level was scaled from 60 to 57 or 58, it would make the fight difficult, but possible.

I'm just thinking in terms of making the game smoother for someone that may not know about maat at this point, that's why I consider this a roadblock. That's all, just pointing it out.

to YosemiteYogorockBlondell

I have yet to try RDM/RUN so I'll have to check that out. In my head I see they're like a tank class, so scrap the tank and just hold hate spamming spells? Yeah, I'm going to have to try this lol

While there are no plans to add these higher-tier vouchers at the moment, the development team started with the lowest tier naming convention just in case there was ever a need to expand in the future.

Maat wasn't ever really mantioned outside of patch notes as being what raises your level cap. The game launched with a level cap of 50 in May 2002, with the Shadow Lord as the final boss at initial release. In July or August 2002, they raised the level cap for the first time, because someone reached and discovered it. It took a full party of people at level 50 to beat him, but the cap wasn't there that long. The strategy also called for having one person tank him in that mode, to be the target of cures, while the rest backed off out of range of implosion, which you can't tell Trusts to do. Many people at NA release just brought a high-level friend to help them clear it more easily, so it was not much of a thing for NA players to fight him as a party with everyone capped at 50, since we had a level cap of 65 or 70 at NA release.

Any new player at this point is going to be using the wiki and will know about Maat, especially with Records of Eminence pointing out the level cap increases. Really, maxing out your level and then going quickly through the missions makes it easier to remember the story, rather than doing it as you level.

It was previously reported, months ago, that Blade: Kamu did not receive the damage increase it was supposed to receive in the 1-Hand Weapon Skill update, on Dec 10, 2014. Will Kamu be updated, or was it not updated intentionally.

Has anyone mention the duration of the Status Effect: Medicine? Because it's super long to begin with and part of the reason alchemy is so useless in most cases, but the timer count freezes if you go offline. Anyway to take a look at that as it is?

The medication effect is different for different items. For Icarus Wings it's like 2 hours, but I think Super Ether is only a few minutes.

1-Could you please add more Bar Spells i mean for Light & Darkness Elements.
2-Also could you please allow us to have 2 Barspells at the same time? Like Barfira & barthundra at the same time? Not only the elementals but also for the bar(debuff) like Barsleepra & BarParalyzra.
3- About the Merits, could you please allow the Max Combo to be 15 instead of 10 for each Group 1 & Group 2?

Yeah, they basically created us a barspell for almost all elements except for having left out giving us something like Bardark/Bardarkness, Bardarkna/Bardarknessna or Barlight/Barlightness, Barlightna/Barlightnessna which is just name variations I've shown they could name them as if its decided to give us those additional spell's to fully complete the elemental chart of barspell's usages.

Some spell's that we get debuffed onto us are really the dark based version such as sleep, blind are just two of those examples but I would think doom would be considered a dark based element but we definitely do not have a BarDoom spell on at least whm's either.

{Just Questioning this}->So basically in reality you would want up to 4 shielding bar spell's up at the same time? ~>Two being of the elements and 2 being related to a certain debuff that is kind be relating to an element, supposedly. {Is that correct?}

~I know many jobs are getting this sort of ordeal with there jobs based on what they do have to play with and type of job it is.~

Probably not a big deal for certain players but Borderless Windowed mode is in the update. They mentioned something weird with the mouse happens when Alt+Tabbing in/out though.

Borderless Windowed Mode (Windows Only)
This entry enables the player to display the game at the same resolution as their desktop.
Unlike the full screen mode, this mode enables players to use alt-tab to switch to a different application window.

•Setup
1. Open FINAL FANTASY XI Config and select "Global."
2. Select "borderless Windowed Mode" from the dropdown menu.

Let me know how that borderless play goes as I myself like to be able to have the ability to look at my google chrome pages up and even windows 10's microsoft's Edge browser pages up with ffxi game info up at the same time the game is running to look it all up but hopefully not to be really away from the keyboard in order to look at those pages as well. So let me know as i'm wanting to try this out with the ffxi config tool not related to the pol.config tool in which I thought it to be originally a setting under that tool they added to their gaming configuration tools.
