Suggestions: Quality of Life Stuff and other suggestions

People on shiva still do at least the Easter and mummor. Maybe Halloween as well. Lol shows when you stopped doing the buffalo event, predatory. It hasn't been the original version for years now which sucks cause I would rather get randomly warped while whacking on a giant buffalo instead of trying to get matching buffaloes to a moogle any day. The items are still a good way for people to get a weapon for Abby red procs they normally wouldn't have access to.

I wish they would remove party requirements for mission battlefields.

I'm currently stuck on Adoulin mission 2-17 and can't even attempt the fight solo because you are forced to enter with 3 other people. And considering my luck with WotG I'll probably be stuck on this mission for a very long time not even being able to enter.

It's those nonsensical retarded 3 person Campaign Ops all over again. Which I've yet to even experience because again no one wants to do the damn things.

can we get a Cutscene viewer? like maybe a new area or something that allows you to view all cutscenes that you have previously scene. I mean instead of having to go to each zone, we could have one area to watch all the cutscenes in.

also in the Records of Eminence there seems to be an oversight, if you go to Combat (Region) and go to Original Areas 2, there is no Subjugation for Zeruhn Mines. Why is that? I suppose it's a mistake?

also could you put Iron Plates and Colorless Souls into the login points events?

i like doing the holiday events that they hold, i've been doing them mostly.

thanks for putting savory shank for 3k login points i like that (Finally)

Be proactive and shout for people. Let them know that they get 10k bayld for entering to help, if they've already beaten the fight. While it's not a large incentive atm, bayld might be in more demand after this next update, with new gear, and Geo/Run Ergon weapons possibly using large amounts of it.

I'm guessing this is because there are no NMs in the Mines - unless anyone knows of one?

Oh man so many years wasted just waiting at the entrance of dungeons expecting people to appear out of thin air to help me. Why didn't I ever think about shouting in town for help before?

Whyyyyyy?! orz

Lemme alter my suggestion than, for someone of your caliber.

Be proactive and bitch about it on some forums, that'll get you the attention you so deserve.

Better? Hope the actual suggestion (mentioning 10k bayld reward) might actually help someone, since I've seen many that had no idea such a thing had been implimented for SoA AF and mission battles.

Just standing there works. I don't know how many times I've opened the 3-mage gate for people on my way to do some farming.

I think they have said in the past that the cutscenes are tied to the zones they take place in themselves. I would love to watch storyline missions straight through (using my character) but it might not be mechanically feasible to move everything around.

Lol someone missed the sarcasm in raydeus post. Though only one of the two who replied.

Well I'm lucky my holiday events post missed a lil bit of the sarcasm and thought feast of swords was about to start this week?

now a lot of those holiday events will hold you to opening up room which you really don't have to put past weapons, armor, furnishings, etc. just so you won't be getting them again which does suck but I wonder if SE would ever get the event npc's such as the moogles to realize you all ready have that item obtained but they are just sitting in the event item storage npc or on a moogle storage slip as to not have to have it sitting in your inventory, taking up space just to avoid not getting those same items again and it be smarter and more convenient if you could just leave them on the storage slip or npc and knows you got it there while out get the newer item or items.

Feast of swords has been going on already. I can't be sure, but I think they already explained why the moogles who run the events are forgetful jones. I think it was something to do with coding; even if they never have told us why I'm sure that's probably close.

Well this is just great....all of these suggestions and yet only 3 have been utilised. :(

Release /sprint ability from ballista.

1) New Main City Rank Missions. After eleven years, you would think we would have had this by now. I know SE is busy working on new quests/missions for the SoA expansion, but the main cities have become long forgotten. It's like everything occurring in the main three cities just stop at rank 10. Not sure how correct my math is with Vana'diel time, but I think a year in Vana'diel time is like a month Real life/Earth Time. So it would be nice to see what's going on in the lives of certain main city npcs since the end of the rank 10 missions. Even Jeuno could be involved seeing as how with Kam'lanaut no longer the Grand Duke after the events in RoTZ, there has yet to be a new Grand Duke named. So while it'll probably be awhile until after Adoulin is finish, breathing new life into the main cities would be nice.

2) Resurrect Kazham. Kazham, oh my dear Kazham, oh how do I have memories of taking up camp inside the small Mithran Village while waiting for a party invite. Chasing/following around the roaming Opo-opo npc while waiting for a party invite. What happened? SE has completely purged all knowledge of Kazham's existence. When the "Ease of Exploration" moogle power was added, Kazham was nowhere to be found on the list. Even with the addition of the waypoints, Kazham is not an option in the list. I wonder if new players to the game even know that this forgotten place even exists. There hasn't even been a decent up to date quest placed in Kazham since lord knows when. My suggestion, SE please remember that Kazham and the Elshimo area does still exist. Can we see some new life given to Kazham, some new npcs, new quests maybe? Give us reason to return here after we're done with the Elshimo/Ifrit's Cauldron/Sea Serpent Grotto portion of our AF quests and after we've finished the RoTZ quests not to mention Ifrit Trial quest and the teleport scroll quest. Because after that what other reason do we have to come here when we can just OP warp to the ones in either Elshimo Uplands/Lowlands?

3) Campaign Battles and Besieged expansions When these were released for their respective expansions, despite the lag issues, were great ideas. They were what made the game fun and made you feel like you were apart of the game's story/lore. But in typical SE fashion, they are forgotten and become over-shadowed, by newer content that eventually meet the same fate. I know this has been mentioned before, but it would be nice to see these type of events expanded to the present main city areas or something like that. Beastmen lurk right outside of the four main cities not to mention the Beastmen strongholds that inhabit the area not to far off, and I find it weird that they haven't tried to attack. For successful completion of these battles, the player would receive a nice reward.

4) PvP Let's be honest, PvP in XI has never really shined its brightest. Back when XI was at it's peak, it's shining era...I remember SE use to have Ballista or Brenner tournaments. Over the years, the idea for PvP was lost and forgotten. It made a brief reappearance in the form of Pankatron, but that never really went anywhere. With the introduction of Belligerency, PvP in XI makes a reappearance once more, but...I rarely see anyone taking part in this. My suggestion, make PvP worth doing. Give people a reason to want to do PvP. Reintroduce the tournaments at the yearly Vana'Festivals. Or better yet have a yearly tournament where the champions of each region meet for the final championship match at Vana'Fest.

5)Chocobo Raising/Racing Chocobo breeding and racing gives me the biggest headache. Why? Because you have so little control over the chocobo that you bred and worked hard to raise. Starting with breeding a chocobo, everyone has a yellow chocobo chick until it reaches it adolescent stage where you begin to see the colors of its feathers. The frustrating part of this is, you have to be careful of what you feed you chick if you're going for a certain color. What makes this worse is the chances of receiving a blue/black/red/green chocobo are pretty much very slim. And what happened to the white chocobo? What is SE racist against Albino Chocobos? I mean it's in the dats, so why can't we get one? Suggestion, SE please make it easier to obtain a blue/black/red/green chocobo without having to buy and raise 20-30 eggs. Moving into Chocobo Racing. Why was this even introduced if we weren't even going to have any form of control over our chocobos? What makes it worse is that the rewards aren't even worthwhile. Suggestion, Give us a reason to explore and actually enjoy this content. Allow us to have more control over what our chocobo does (ie: sprinting, items used by the jockey riding our chocobos). And introduce items worth doing to content for such as items that allow you to permanently increase your chocobo's stats or allow to increase their movement speed when riding them. SE brings in some great content, but then either doesn't execute it right or just lets it fade into obscurity.

I'll probably have some more suggestions later, but that's what I could think of at the time.

I believe you meant to post this under my chocobo thread/post but it's okay, I know what you mean by it being here at the moment. I will be making this happen with adding the quote from him as well under my thread but hey maybe i'm just bored and hope more would be interested in how else we could better the use of chococbo's in vana'diel but anywho, maybe it really is just me. :confused:

RDM to the end we where in the begining. As escorts and avitar slayers we will be strong again

1. Chocobo eggs

Yes There is a vendor in Jeuno a little mithra girl but she doesn't sell it everytime ( actually she barely sell any now )

Maybe making her selling chocobo eggs permanently ?

1. Storage

Mog safe mog storage etc

why not putting them at 99 ?

3. Merit point group

For now we have limit per group ( 15 merit point HP/MP)

Why not putting a max level for HP and a amx elvel for MP for exemple

Max level 10 for HP AND MP

Same with strength I see max level in WS which is 3 so why not putting the same limit for everything else instead of group limit

4. Signet sanction etc.

The time duration is differnet between each Buffs

Why not putting the same Time duration as Signet which last quite long

Most of the other suggestion I wanted to ask is already been asked

Signet and Sanction buffs at least vary on duration based on your rank. I am sure the same is true for sigil tho i have no idea on ionis, that sheet is way to short lasting. The max on safe storage ect is 80 because PS2 can only look at 160 spots at one time (when you check your inventory u see 80 on one and 80 in the other) I have no idea how they get away with having 50 temp items listed tho.
"Ease of Exploration" doesnt have kazam listed cause you have to do the quest at 25 to get there, and the other places "Ease of Exploration" takes you to you could potentially get there at any level. This is my guess.

Ionis length doesn't get boosted just the amount of buffs you get from it does based on col ranks. Unless having legendary status for all of the Cols extends the time.

So I recently I finished mythic katana, which means I have both relic and mythic. To my dismay I can't offhand either of them. I knew this about kikoku beforehand and should have assumed the same could be said for mythic. So here is my suggestion: make it so at least the benefits of the attack from relic so it can still be beneficial in offhand? This could go for mandau as well.

Greetings,

Wishing you could play the classic themes from Chains of Promathia or Aht Urhgan once again while on the title screen? We asked the development team if they could add an option to the configuration to change the BGM and they said they will be looking into it. :)

Not exactly groundbreaking, but still a nice touch. It's a nice option between silence and those godforsaken horns.

Wooot! :D

Would be great, I miss other opening music.

Hey, could you ask them to add in a "random opening theme on login" option? There are times where I want to be surprised. XD

Greetings,

In the June version update we’ll be making it possible to enter every Seekers of Adoulin mission battlefield solo.

Similarly, it will also become possible to challenge these battles along with alter egos, so this is a perfect time to catch up on the missions if you are behind!

Additionally, we’ll be lowering the required number of participants for Skirmish from three to one. :)

So many good news for me today. XD

With this only Campaign ops will be left to change to allow players to enter solo. I know those are low priority, but maybe one day. d(^^d)

Just Awesomeness!! Totally Sweet and cant wait for it to happen to have more options to play more FFXI Music on the Title screens or other ares that play music before entering the game, such as news announcements area of the Playonline Viewer Main screen\screens or the login screen before it would be nice, whether it is on pc or gaming console.

{Tittle: The Grand Scheme of plans into better reasons to play in FFXI nowadays!}

Love this Idea as well as being ability to have your Alter ego's in pt or an alliance pt with other players and even inside of a lot of battlefields they normally cant enter with you. now if they add this same feature to your Adventuring fellow as well as giving the ability to enter the older level restriction bcnm, ksnm etcetera with beastmen currency bought burning circle battlefields then we be set for more greatness coming into FFXI. Yes Please and Thank You!! :o ;)

Add "Login Points" to the Currencies tab.

Here is an interesting suggestion: Why not make it so that the vouchers can be exchanged for Nyzul Tokens and Therion Ichor? Even if it's not the standard "1000" points I believe it will make Mythic much more feasible. It's becoming harder and harder to get people to participate in these older events, especially if they aren't building a mythic themselves.

Greetings,

After making it possible to enter seal battlefields with Trust alter egos in the June version update, we’ve determined a bug that removes buffs upon entry. 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.

Hello everyone,
the last update was great, stackable materials are AWESOME more detailed TP is unusual but something you can easily adjust to and then it is great. There are a few suggestions I have as a kind of follow up on those changes now that I played a bit with them:

1. TP for party members:
Are Trust NPCs not considered party members? If so, is it a bug that those do not have TP displays like other party members now do? It was mentioned Ayame would be super helpful in skill chaining now, I however believe that is only really utilizable when we actually know her TP, so we don't hold back for ages while she is stuck at 500 TP or so.

Hence I'd suggest to enhance this feature to not only include human party members but also Trust NPCs and probably even Adventuring fellows (even though that would make the fierce attacker trait of announcing their TP a bit useless)

2. Avoiding decimals with x10 values:
We got our TP values displayed with a x10 value now to get rid of decimals which is rather neat for testing out just how much STP you need to achieve an x-hit build without having to do the TP formula math. You can simply "read it off the screen". The game sadly has other decimal values though most noticable in skills and especially with crafting skills it is an "annoyance". Say I am at woodworking 64. I have no clue whether I am at 64.1 or 64.8 after a long crafting break of a few weeks. SO it is hard to judge the required materials to rise another level. Same goes for fighting skills but it is less important there due to the ease of how they are gained.

Suggestion: Multiply the skills value displayed by 10 in order to avoid decimals and enable us to see exactly how much skill we have, just like you did with TP OR make the decimals actually visible in the status menu.

Sincerely,
Leylia

:p Yeah but wont this change or rule changes just add to the cost of time ticking away inside the battlefield due to the fact that you have to recast all your buffs to complete the job your about to do inside the battlefield now and if that is the case, shouldn't time be adjusted to allow rebuffing inside the battlefield as well camate?? :confused:

Will it stop dismissing our pets when we enter a battlefield then? Because resetting Call Wyvern and Activate on entry are all well and good, but BST loses an item every single fight. While we're on this, can Jug pets stop despawning on every area change, something no other pet in the game does?

I think I got a suggestion that I think should be considered. Is there any way to lift the 1 mil restriction on mailing gil between charas on the SAME account only? I know why it was put in place (to mess up RMT) but for some of us that sell big ticket items on mules, it gets to be a major pain to have to make several muling trips to get the gil to your main.

I think the restriction should stay for mailing gil between accounts (again, as to not change things and give RMT back a easy way to give out gil) but between charas on the same account, it doesn't make a lot of sense.

there used to be or were instances where RMT players would have more then one character on the same account and would swap out more gils to sell in this method as well but who knows if they remain around this game anymore as well. Just Sayin!
