Collision Course Detected!

So those people who auto-follow a moving NPC will still get in the way?

JUST REMOVE THE STUPID MECHANIC.

FFXIV became a LOT LESS PAINFUL in crowded areas after your disabled it in that game.

Well good news! During the upcoming test server update we will be making it so if a character remains motionless for more than 10 seconds, their collision detection will be removed, enabling you to run right by. This should hopefully make moving around crowded places where players are AFK much easier. :)

Just take collision off; it serves no real purpose anyway.

And this is a UI change how?

What, you mean this thread ISN'T about the nosediving future of RDM?

♫♪WACKITY SMACKITY DOOOOO!♪♫

I'm very happy to hear about this change!
If I had my choice, I'd like to see collision turned off entirely (assuming it won't mess up auto-follow).

1. a secret agreement, especially for fraudulent or treacherous purposes; conspiracy: Some of his employees were acting in collusion to rob him.

We do not have plans to completely remove PC collision. The Development Team explained that this system was implemented from the beginning of FINAL FANTASY XI in order to amplify the existence of other users. Removing this function will make other characters feel like they're just another part of the background as you can run through them like air or brush.

Yet sometimes I get trapped in air and brush! :)
