Suggestions: Quality of Life Stuff and other suggestions

Remove the 30FPS cap for the PC version and unlink the last few remaining things from framerate such as loading zones and models (there are videos on youtupe of the game running with an unlocked framerate, zones and models load faster and full shadows are faster, apparently those things are locked to the framerate)

They unlinked most of the game from the framerate back when they adjusted fishing speed on the PC, I don't think there's anything preventing them from unlinking the rest except to be "fair" to PS2 players.

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.

I put it on Borderless through the config but it won't let me Alt+Tab out so far. Might be something with my PC as I had an issue with LOTRO doing that but then it all of a sudden started working not too long ago. Only way I could get it to work before is by having another program open while the game was running like a browser. I didn't test that with FFXI but arguably they worded it to make you think that's how it would work.

Unlike the full screen mode, this mode enables players to use alt-tab to switch to a different application window.

Hey thanks for all the feed back info you have discovered about window's borderless mode as I'm rather used to playing inside of the game with a windowed border mode setup from the ffxi config tool a long time ago but also always only had to move my laptop's touchpad mouse cursor down to the browser icons to pop up a very mini view of the current tab page up that i'm on, now to go full page I had to of course click on it then i'm able to move through the tabs of pages currently up and now I will be switching it to the windowed borderless mode to see that mode in which you spoke of in how you must have to hit alt+tab now instead of just sliding your cursor to the bottom of your monitor's screen to able to select your browser pages.


Just a pc player's Note: For my windows 10 Final Fantasy XI Config tool, there is no "Global" settings tab but rather a "General" Tab instead to change it from windowed mode to Borderless Window Mode.;):D:cool:

I noticed that too. Typo on their end possibly...or maybe all these years it should have been a Global tab lol. I will admit I'm not too familiar with using the KB with playing XI as I mostly use the controller to move, etc. and the KB to type. I know that holding down Alt brings up my macro bar so that may have something to do with it. If it's possible to keybind to get the macro bar off Alt, I never messed with it.

Alt+Tabbing works with Borderless Windowed Mode. Just need to have another program running. I would suspect the most common ones would be Media Player (or some music program) and an internet browser.

Yup to all of the above having them opened while playing in borderless mode now i'm going to make a separate post for a possible error to playing the defeat Tiamath while getting the bahamut's Wyrmking full costume +1 event that i've noticed after being K'Oed/death then reRaised up left with a weakened signal icon and timer count. :eek: :o


Side Note: I still wishing there was a way while playing on your keyboard as a gamepad to move your character or stop your character from moving when you have auto locked your character to keep moving while at the same time your typing on your keyboard with the typing in bar up or a way to copy and repast what you had typed rather quickly to do a quick action on your charactor. One of the two but maybe having both in game would be nice too.

:(2nd Side note: I'm Stilll sad to see that we won't be getting all crafts opened and unlocked to the maxed limits all because of some player's kind of ridiculously bought more characters to having a higher costing bill into money overly spent per month just for one only purpose of crafting all craft's in which I have to suffer those consequences with keeping my bill low affordable on only 2 characters because of those players wanting it to be kept locked in the same way its been for far too long. I'm not usually one to try to represent my sadness on the forum's but this definitely one of those for me. :( In a way it's like trying to have it set up to have the rest of us forced to do the same with the remainder of the rest of the game years to be a master crafter in all craft's maxed out. :confused:

:eek: :confused: So was this weakened state timer resetting to the max limit upon each time Tiamath respawns intended to be in place for getting the Wyrmking Suit+1-{Body + legs +feet}. Masque +1-{head gear} and the KI for the I-Level Battlefield or is this simply a in game event bug occurring until you have either zoned into one of the cities from the outside area's of where the event is being held or to have the magicked level sync enchantment finally removed then re-waiting yet again for weakness to fully wear-off was intended for this event??

:confused: I was seeing this happening to my blondelle character while participating in the event where I was sitting kneeling in /healing mode and see the weakened timer start to wear off only to be reset to a maximum of one minute over and over again each time the events Notorious Monster Tiamatia with the moogles all around it would respawn with the games Level Sync Enchantment on even while being far, far away from the battlefield with the level sync game enchantment on or even standing right at the lighted spot on the ground which is the Kupofried spawn point to use your built up points. My question is: Was this intended to occur for this event or is simply an overlooked missed bug for the event going on? Community Moderators/Dev team/etc. let me know on this, thanks! ;-)

We’ve been receiving a lot of requests in regards to adding more space to the Mog Wardrobe, and the development team is currently looking into this. We’ll keep you posted as to whether or not this will be possible and the time frame if we can do it.

Well we all know the limitation to every storage is 80. Maybe adding a Mog Wardrobe 2 category would be nice. However where it currently stands, whenever I load my characters w/ an abundance of gear (and i'm talking about every bit of storage we have filled at 80), it takes an abundance of time for the game itself to read every bit of data from the server to my character. As much as I like the idea of having a new category for more space and as much as everyone else would love to have it, I cannot say if this would be a good idea to have done or bad idea based on if it would slow loading times down even further.

For everyone who uses mog wardrobe/inventory for gear swapping and the rest for storing armor for multiple jobs and wish there was another mog wardrobe or something similar to it, I understand what you people need and hope that this does get approved, but think about what kind of sacrifice it would make in the long run if you are one of those people that get frustrated on the load times of armor/gear/meds/etc. it takes for it to show up. This post isn't a flame to anyone or to cause a problem or argument or a disruption. It's just an opinion on my part.

Yeah I am torn, storage is awesome but imo the loading times are already AWFUL. It's especially bad for timed events, since I need every moment possible... yet the first minute is a total write off because I can't access meds or do any swaps.

I've never understood why it insists on loading every single inventory location every time.
It would work quicker one assumes if the game just loaded say the wardrobe and gobbie bag upon zoning or logging in. And didn't bother to load the others unless you actually attempted to look in them.

I can see the issue there of course, that if you're now in a battle and you attempt to access your satchel say for some extra meds, and you now have to wait 15 seconds for your satchel items to load before the swap to your gobbie bag with the meds. During which time you're severely deaded by the NM.

Suffice to say, there's definitely no reason for the game to be loading both of your mog safes + locker + storage thing every single time you zone. You can't even access those locations outside the Mog House.

Different zones are on different servers, so the server and your client need to know about your inventory, and the Rare tags on items so you can't work a bug to get multiples of a rare item. The delay in loading your data on the client is because the game is capped at 7 kilobytes per second for communication between client and server. If they removed that cap, the inventory would load almost instantly. The servers have a fast connections between themselves, but your game client pulls the data from the zone server, change zones and you change servers.

Been a while since I've checked this thread so I apologize if this has been addressed in the past, but one thing I find myself wishing recently, especially during the synthesis skill campaign...

Would it be possible to make crystals stack to 99? I know there'd probably be some issue with regard to clusters, but I really see no reason why clusters couldn't still give out the typical 12 when used. It'd just be really nice to be able to keep more than 12~24 crystals after a farming/exp session without it utterly filling our inventory, or to buy stacks on the AH and have them last longer than 12 synths at a time, especially when our inventory is packed with materials as well.

The fact that clusters stack and are pretty easily available to farm for any 99 job now means that crystals sort of stack to 144 already. At least 72 if you count that you need to break a stack open to use it.
You just need 2 spaces in inventory to have access to 144 crystals to use is what I'm getting at. Well, I know what I mean anyway lol.

For Mythic all the side quest you have to do have been reduced.. so you can do them more often.. assults you can basicly do back to back.. and tokens can be gotten every hour.. For Relic you can enter dynamis back to back.. But nothing has been done to how often you can do Imprimaturs. It still takes MONTHS to finish. I would like to see something done so you can do this at a faster pace.. Even just an event would be nice.

Thank you!

I was messing with the config of the ffxi settings and when i whent back to play on my account it says class not registered and wont let me play is this because of maintanance or did i mess with something can somene help?

Hello,

I would like to give an update in regards to a previous post that was made back in June of 2014.

As this is a bug that is closely tied to the system changes that allow alter egos to enter these battlefields, it will take a bit of time to fix.

On the positive side, we have been looking into changing battlefield rules. In particular, we’d like to change the system so that when entering a battlefield the cool downs of all special abilities, job abilities, and magic spells are reset. We feel this will allow you to repeat battlefields more easily and also encourage you to employ special abilities into your strategies better.

With this system change, you’ll be able to use special abilities outside of battlefields and then reuse them again once you enter a battlefield, which is why we had planned to implement a feature that removes all of your buffs upon entry.

As this is a very large change, we’d like to look into this very carefully, but I wanted to give you all a heads up. :)

The team is working towards fixing this bug as well as making this change in the August version update.

First off, I apologize for the time it has taken to give a status update on this task. The development team has been looking into and testing a system that would allow for abilities and magic spell cooldowns to reset when entering battlefields; however, they encountered a number of problems and have had to put this off. Many of the problems were related to battle balance, such as cases where special abilities could be used prior to entering a battlefield, making it possible to re-use these abilities right away once inside. We appreciate your understanding.

I been waiting for this for a long time and I thought camate forgot all about it. :/ I hope those bug get fix because I think FFXI can be fun again if we are allow to go all out on high tier mission battle, Unity Cord or Escha NM.

Also don't forget about Trizek Ring need to be less than 1 hour to use again.
Capacity Ring recast need to be less than 5 minute instead of 15 minute wait or add a new ring that offer 100% or 150% capacity points to Spark NPC.

I don't understand. Camate previously stated that that is what you guys had wanted. Why is it an issue now? Why can we not have all abilities to use in a fresh new battle instance?

The solution to the problem is simple. Reset cooldowns after the battle instead of at the start. Then you can't abuse the cooldown reset to get 2 uses of SP abilities in the same fight. As additional security, you can make it so you have to have enmity against anything iwthin the battle for a certain amount of time in order to qualify for the reset (much like how the Echo in FFXIV requires that you battle for a certain amount of time before it can be applied)

How about leave the "bug" so that outside buffs are always cleared, and then make it so that HP/MP are refilled and JA cooldowns reset, balance issue fixed.

Once they stated it as a "bug" then removing it is inevitable.

Arrapago Remnants re-entry restriction should be lifted to match the other salvage zones because of the lock-out it affects those who were doing Mythic Weapon trials.
I remember obtaining Tizona at the end of October then doing Tizona WS trials only having to wait an additional 2-3 days to actually finish Tizona trials because of this lock out. Any plans to ease this special lock-out?

I'd like to see all the verdical confluxes on the abyssea maps rather than guess where they are on the map. It would be generous if that happened. Also, If the recast time on the trizek and eschad rings were reduced that would be awesome if that happened.

Another thing is to make hp % visible while your fighting a mob which would be great to see. :D
Also let us exchange job points for merit points for emporox if thats possible.
Also turn Cerberus, Khimaira and Hydra into pop item mobs. :D
I've also been wondering if se could make multiple crafts within one synthesis possible.

Removing the daily restriction on Arrapago Remnants depends on the instance load situation. With the current difficulties for entering, it makes it hard to reduce the entry requirements. There are many players going into Salvage at the moment, and in February it'll be possible to further upgrade Mythic weapons, so we'd like to observe the situation more before making any adjustments.

Could you change the destination for the Dimensional Portal in Empyreal Paradox to take us to the beginning of Reisenjima like it does for the crag warps? Right now it takes us to Reisenjima Sanctorium, which we have little reason to ever to go again once we've finished RoV.

Ideally, I'd prefer the portal was just right next to an HP like it is with the two Escha zones since putting it in Empyreal Paradox is just more unnecessary running/zoning, but I'd be content with the above.

Have you considered warping to the crags instead of the Sanctum?

It would be nice if there were a HP or Survival Guide though. And put a Survival Guide in Adoulin please.

We've identified an issue where when players interact with a chest or NPC while you have certain buffs active, the buffs are removed. We're planning to make adjustments in the next version update to address this for the following abilities and spells:

Warcry / Blood Rage / Boost / Meditate / Fantod / Crimson Howl

Oh yeah, I often just use the VW warp to Shakhrami and run to Mea. I even see people taking the Empyreal Paradox path to warp to a crag and then warp to the Reisenjima entrance from there to bypass the Sanctorium. It's not a huge deal, but they did make it a little more annoying than it needed to be and it should be a quick fix.

Definitely agree about the Survival Guide in Adoulin. Strange that it's been left out this long.

I've noticed this for Warcry but always thought it was intentional.

It was intentional for boost since it stacks with itself, and clicking an object would freeze buff durations while letting cooldowns tick down.

This is also a problem for Ifrit's Crimson Howl.
