Suggestions: Quality of Life Stuff and other suggestions

There is if they want their weapon to unlock the ws though. They are taking out most JP midnights/day waits that they can without making everything a just rezone to progress.

I do agree with the multi ways of getting things mainly due to low population playing the game these days. The length of time one spends just shouting for help for events vs actually doing them is hugely off set.

Please could we hold more than one Cosmo-Cleanse? Or reduce the wait time for a new one to, say, 10 hours? Thanks! :-)

I like your idea but wondering if they should reduce the cost a bit as well. Also, I would like more chances to become more experienced in the limbus areas including if I flub up and I am out of time shortly with a long wait time but still like to see how well I could do with more chances to do this solo even. I wonder if they will eventually let us use trust npc's in these old area's such as limbus floors as well??

The most common thing to happen to games is new content always eventually making the older stuff totally obsolete. Like quests for the first expansion ever to come out for an example: The quest where you have to gather a party of 4 to 6 people to head to an npc in kuftal tunnel under level 40 restriction placed upon the party, that quest is really no good in the game anymore and the only other point really to it was possibly mainly fame if it even was meant to raise fame. Another example of obsolete by using quest echo warrior as just another example of to much newer content replacing the old but leaving the old still in the game when it has certainly past its time to remain in the game.

Can you bring any more examples of this type of obsolete in the old into the new with any of the game content?

I was wondering if there was anyone out there or in this thread that could give <my thread: {The Reason to why most chocobo riding or Anything chocobo related seems dead anymore!} <-[or obsolete instead of dead] <a boost with your ideas on chocobos and new directions we could possibly take with them and current system or new systems we could come up with for the chocobo's in ffxi under my thread which is anything goes, anything chocobo related.

I would greatly appreciate it since it is kind of related to the quality of life inside vana'diel\FFXI.

The level 5 and I think 10 level capped quests is something else that is obsolete. The gustaberg tour is one of these. If I remember correctly camate did make a post about them, but I don't remember what was said only that it was filled with the normal nothing good came from it.

About quality of life: guilds and Tenshodo shops need to get rid of the stupidity thing that the close hour and holiday per game week. Also, would help greatly if those shop don't have limited stocks so we won't have to wait for them to refill stock. The joke last 12 years, you can remove it now.

That's kinda what I was getting at though. There's 0 incentive to team up with most content, I think Nyzul should have the token rate increased overall honestly but I still feel like more people should mean more tokens, that way there is an incentive to team up rather than solo. I also think more weapons should drop on floor 100 of the original and more alex should drop in Neo. If they were to allow each mob in Neo to have a chance of dropping Alex(10~20%?) and every NM dropped Alex 100% of the time with a chance at a purse(10~20% again) and then the bosses on 20/40/60/80 were to drop purses 100% of the time while linens had a chance of dropping, you could see a lot more people doing Nyzul in a heart beat, and since Nyzul requires others to progress, it incentivizes working together to an extent.

I can agree with that. The base total for completing floors should be increased but there should also be a bonus for more people.

Hey here's one, how about letting the nexus cape work in dungeons as well? Yea I know they said a technical issue is the reason but really what's the point of it if you can't use it to get everywhere the party leader may be?

Even more places outside for the nexus cape would be welcomed.

More Nexus capable areas, the end.

What are you talking about? I see Nyzul pt /shout everyday, although it's all JP /shout. Now that everyone and their mother is building a mythic it's much easier to find people to do Nyzul with.

Maybe on Ragnarok there is shouting for NI throughout the day. Now with geo and run getting their mythic equivulants with even easier requirements to get the quests started than the other 20 jobs is just silly.

Perhaps the question should be what are you talking about? I see a single Nyzul shout at most once a week, I leave a character logged in at almost all times, so either I'm overlooking them somehow or they're just not happening on Phoenix. If one server is without them, there are bound to be others the same. In either case, once Nyzul can be soloed(provided they're still going to change it so it can be as they said) those shouts will also shrivel up because people will be able to solo it. The more that can be soloed with Trusts, the more we need party incentives rather than disincentives such as penalties on XP or equal drop rates(Delve), and so on.

Assuming we're talking about old-game NI, my mule solo'd floor 1-->100 on PUP, it took a while because when you get the five lamps in order and they are on a complex map, or you get the 5 lamps same time, you have to warp and try again. Had good days with clearing lots of floors, but bad days with unlucky lamp floors. Its totally random luck and if you are soloing you need to be prepared to waste a lot of tags on fail /warpout runs. But it is possible my mule did it, although I will say it was certainly a big headache and absolutely zero fun. Less than zero, minus digits fun.

That's what I'm talking about though, right now it's terrible to solo. I wasn't meaning to imply it's not possible, it's just not really gonna happen without a lot of painful and annoying failures in the process due to lamps. The change they said they'd be doing was incorporating Trust NPCs into Nyzul in a way they could actually do the lamp floors with you. Mind you that's likely still a ways off since even a basic party system has yet to be introduced, it's still something that's in the works so far as we know. Once that's done the pain should be gone, it'll be 20 runs to go from 1 to 100 and any run someone wants to do just for a weapon will be just as easily completed with Trusts.

because you cant just delete the post here

Well, my server has quite an active JP community with tons of JP /shout on JP time, some pt doesn't even need to /shout, they just recruit via /seacom. I've been seeing a lot of Einherjar/Nyzul /shout for sure. If you see Einherjar /shout you can probably ask them if they need Nyzul, most likely they'll need it.

On NA time it's pretty dead though, if you want token you probably need to stalk people in Einherjar/Nyzul making mythic and team up with them.

I can't read Japanese, nor do I think it should be a requirement to play the game/a truly acceptable work around for the game's issues. I do look up through shouts when I wake up however to check and see if anything I needed was shouted for, I figure if someone shouts for something uncommon like Tenzen or Ouryu they may do it again while I'm on so I like to keep an eye out, that being said unless the shout is in Japanese I shouldn't be missing it, and Nyzul shouts just aren't happening. As for hitting people up who do Einherjar I admit that should probably work provided they're not full.

The fact it's dead is the issue and why something needs changed. As for your advice, it's no real solution. Saying that you should just wait for some Einherjar needing people to do Nyzul isn't bad advice in the mean time but they still need to change it and especially before Trusts can be used in the content.

But in the end be it Nyzul or not we need more/better rewards for having more people, if we don't this will only continue to get worse and worse while people take fewer and fewer people, or don't even try to get more people. Meeble Burrows had that system and it encouraged people to fill the party even when you didn't need to just for extra points, if we had that kind of incentive in more content like XP, Job Points, Delve, you name it, these would be a lot more inclusion in this game than the exclusion we see right now.

I don't see how trust NPCs could possibly do lamp floors. Why don't they just remove lamps from normal Nyzul - seems like it would be less of a programming headache.

I'm assuming an extra option in the lamp dialog for 'same time' floors that would allow you to leave NPCs there. For instance the current way would be changed to something like...

Quote:

---

The Runic Lamp appears to need to be activated at the same time as all others on this floor.
-Activate Lamp
-Leave Lion at Lamp
-Leave Prishe at Lamp
-Leave Ulmia at Lamp
-Ignore Lamp

---

By picking to leave a NPC they would automatically be activated upon the player choosing to activate one.

So far as orders go I think that one they just don't bother with changing. In either case I won't disagree that it does seem like it'd be difficult to do with what limited AI the Trust NPCs have.

How about an introduction in allowing more tags to be procured to do the floors solo on top of all that has been suggested but I also know you would hate to leave the floors and come back to it, specially if you are in the between floors that qualify your run up floors as completed.

why not just make it so you can exit at any floor and have your disk recorded for that floor if you are completed to that one? Or have your disk record the last floor you completed so if you got lamps on say 22 you could exit and get help then come back to floor 22 and work your way up again, the whole five floor thing seems kind of ridiculous for the solo environment this game seems to be heading for

Add 2 additional ??? points to Behemoth's Dominion so that at the end of the
login campaign you don't have to wait 3 hours in line to fight.

Yes, please.

That is the main reason i dont do HNM pops from logins anymore. tired of a mad rush at the end to pop those. The only reason i could see multiple ??? being a prob is i think king behemoth still hits everyone. imagine 3 KBs out meteoring everone at once

And also bout guild holidays. its pretty stupid when there is a holiday (you dont have to be at work) but the npc is still there (at work) what is the point of these anyways is there a mega stocking event that happens after the holiday is over?

Usually the day after the holiday is when the price of everything is the cheapest and they do APPEAR to restock, but it might be that they restock after hours too. Either way they could just as easily get around that by having an unlimited amount of everything and have it be a set of price for guild and nonguild members, after all what is the point of joining the guild if eventually you'll be paying just as much for it as nonmembers?

I'd suggest that you use login points before then end and then pop them before the rush.... but I am human too and always scramble at the last minute to use the points as well so I know why it happens.

I thought about that too. There really needs to be 3 ??? adds. Just as you exit tunnel on either side put a ??? that only spawns Behemoth. Then in the back corners 1 on each side, another ??? that spawns only KB. That would keep everyone distanced from one another, and keep the lines short.

SE has said the holidays are for additional realism & to make the game feel more alive I believe.

It really would be nice if the NPCs disappeared for the guild holiday. That way you'd not go all the way there and talk to them only to find they won't sell you anything. You'd be able to wide scan and check if anybody's in the shop.

Any chance a new VW cell could be added for capacity points?

In reality, I work on night shift, 1/2 weekends. Most store are open 7/7 days. But in a game, The few hours I have to play, if I want to spend time to craft, I think it would be awesome if we don't have that stupid restriction. The holiday BS don't make any realism or feel alive but only bring frustration.

What? You don't feel overjoyed to have wasted your time travelling to some hovel in an empty zone only to find out the virtual shopkeepers have the day off? Where is your sense of immersion?

It's kind of bs the adding reality crap because here in the states a lot of businesses are open 7 days a week, especially stores, and the guild shop is just an over glorified store, about the only thing i can think of that close down for a day or two at most are government offices and banks, everyone else likes making money too much, so the reality is the guild shops should stay open 7 days a week if realism is what they're after

How much realism changes in a decade!

The worst bit with guild holidays is when you get to one and it's closed already and you get told the next day is a holiday. Then the dumb store opens "later" than the other stores on their next open day. Only to find out they haven't restocked the item you were hoping to get. The whole not stocked everyday thing, but only one day of a vana week for some items turns into a headache. I wouldn't mind it if the holidays stayed if they were always stocked with everything they are known to sell.

I think just about every person who's ever crafted agrees with you too, I know I do, but SE will be SE all the same.

I remember guild shops sayin "We are only open between 1 and 17" then when the time came i click them and "Oh its a holiday!" Thank god they say its a holiday all day now at least. the other reason i dont do the HNM pops from logins is you cant send them via delivery box which is super frustrating. it forces u to trade them between a mule and a 3rd party (requiring some amount of trust) and also limits u to do them slowly. they could kill the lines if they allowed us to send them to ourselves or mules. Its not like having them undeliverable serves much purpose. ur still gonna have to go to town to get it out of DB but u dont have to inconvience someone else to trade them around.

So I have noticed the old holiday events that SE still puts out in doing is really dead these days and I wonder if it is the same on your server or not? I see no one really attending these events any more and not even big groups around em anymore but SE still dishes out the yearly monthly events, I began to wonder if no one is really into doing them anymore should they remain in the game or not?

I like to see if it would be better to expand the horizon of the old events to locked usual areas expanded to be more newer local areas such as adoulin or the past once upon a time and even other area's you guys think off the top of your noggins. I think it be rather interesting to see the feast of swords as an example running around Yorcia Weald, Foret de Hennetiel, Marjami Ravine, Kamihr Drifts, Outer Ra'Kaznar, etc. area's would fun and more local then the old areas for the planed events and such.

~Outer Ra'Kaznar definitely would be a fun place to run around in and do the swords holiday event in my own opinion and now what do you all think? do think a change of areas is needed for the holiday events to be more convenient or plausible option in doing them? I look forward on your thoughts on this holiday event changes!~

Camate let me know if there is anything in my thread you checked out and whether there is anything that can be done with the current situation with the chocobos please, Kay?

These events were all based in pre-aby, pre-level sync/book burn times, and at the time you could get a few gils or a free piece of equipment that was pretty sweet for leveling either a subjob or a new job with, now they're just kind of stupid because people solo nakey to 30 then go key until 99, it's pretty much something to ignore. When was the last time you saw someone chasing around a buffalo with a wooden GK or even camping the moogles at easter? it's just some weird well this was popular in 2004-2007 thing so we gotta do it forever and endlessly crap. There's only one event I can think of that people actually do from those days anymore, and that's the big once a year lottery, the rest of it's just a weak attempt on SEs part to say they do cool stuff. If they added relevant stuff to the miniquests or whatever you call them it would be different, but they don't it'fs all just horseshit
