Let Producer Matsui Know How He Should Catch Up on 2 Years!

[Nezea]

@Nezea. I guess you didn't see the comment about not writing a book. The bigger your post, the more likely it won't get translated.

Sure, then. The tl;dr version is:

1. Separate the "actions started on/by a group" chat filter into the distinct chat filters "actions started on a group" and "actions started by a group."

2.Give us separate chat filters for damage taken by spikes and for damage taken by other sources.

3. Make it so that any status inflicting ability provides a message when status is inflicted (this is not currently the case, such as for Bio and Dia, especially for Ice Spikes).

4. Allow a way to view status effects currently afflicting other players, and similarly a way to view their buffs.

5. Follow up on what Bayohne said about adjusted drop rates in Salvage; make linen purses drop 100% of the time from bosses because it's unlikely that Neo-Salvage will do enough to fix the current problem, being of such a high magnitude. Create a way of gathering alexandrite solo so that people who want mythics don't have to force other people to help them so much.

I don't feel that some of these points will get emphasized as much as they deserve without the novel I wrote previously, but oh well.

I just want to fight a giant mandragora. One bigger than Fafnir.

Someone make this happen.

When I am on DRG, and I use Restoring Breath, if the monster dies before the ability goes off, then the ability doesn't activate and the timer is down as if it went off. From what I understand, the same thing occurs when using a SMN blood pact.

Example:

Player1 uses Restoring Breath.
Wyvern1 readies Curing Breath IV.
Player1 defeats Monster1.
(No curing breath)

Then I am forced to wait until the timer resets to use the ability.

Happens with every pet job.

I would even go a step further and say: Please give us 3 separate windows.

1) a chat window for conversations - Allow us to set different colors for ls / shout / yell / talk etc. complete with filters.

2) a log window for damage dealt / taken - different font colors for damage taken / dealt / party / alliance / outside alliance complete with filters.

3) a log window for actions / status effects / game messages. - again, different colors to differentiate between party / alliance / outside party / alliance.

where in the world would you put that many windows and still be able to see what your doing >.<

Well, on a 1920x1080 monitor, the chat window is like 1/3 full, so they would easily fit side by side on there.

for lower res, they could go above / below each other.

Let's be honest, 4 lines of chat is plenty when it's not full of damage / status effect info etc. Most of the time, you don't even need to see the damage window, but it would be nice to have like 2 lines always visible and just expand it when you feel the need. The status one you might want more lines, depending how many people your with. 4 lines is probably plenty for small group / duo / solo.

It's still basically the same amount of stuff, only separated for convenience.

Here is a SS i found on Google image search, that sorta illustrates this. Notice all the empty area in the chat window? That could be broken out into separate windows.
