Suggestions: Quality of Life Stuff and other suggestions

[Lambtor]

This would lead to a game mechanic issue. If you do this for ichi, then why not for all buffs (most recent cast overwrites any existing buff)? Would you want this for protect (pro 4 overwrite a 5)? shell? If you pick and choose which buffs always overwrite themselves, how would you expect to remember which ones do and which ones don't?

What kind of "mechanic issue" were you thinking about in particular?

If you do this for ichi, then why not for all buffs

Why should they?
It makes sense to do it for Utsusemi which, let me remind you, it's a self-cast buff.
Why should they do it for everything just because they do it for Utsusemi? What's the logic behind it?

[Demonjustin]

Not only is it self cast but it's actually beneficial to us. Letting Shell IV overwrite Shell V would be bad, Shell IV is superior, but when I cast Utsusemi: Ichi on myself I get the exact same effect buff on my RDM/NIN as I get when I cast Utsusemi: Ni. I'm sure each spell has a setting to itself in this respect as well, kinda like who it can be cast on, which is why Ni can overwrite Ichi or Ni, but Ichi can only overwrite itself. By changing Ichi they shouldn't need to change all of the other ones in the way I think you may also be suggesting. If we're wrong on this I'm sure we'd be told, but I admittedly would doubt it either way because it's either insanely poor design, or not designed that way, no good can come of designing something in a game that makes it so that to change one small thing you must change a thousand others as well.

As far as quality of life goes the grand daddy of them all would be removing JP midnight restrictions from everything. Missions, quests, everything.

Create alternate methods of obtaining the currency required to forge Relic/Mythic/Empyrean Weapons such as through the job point system.

Remove the 1500 HMP requirement for Empyrean weapons(This is ridiculous) and make it a more manageable 150-300~ to reforge.

Make it easier to obtain scoria/umbral marrow(like make ADL/PW drop 3-6). The current method for obtaining an afterglow weapon is extreme enough, obtaining a regular R.M.E Weapon should not be.

There needs to be a change to solo nyzul, so that you don't get vastly lower amount of tokens for the same accomplishments done in groups, and removal of same time lamps and order lamps.

I bet everyone could agree on this one: I wish we could hold as many sparks of eminence as we can hold curor or bayld.

I was keying my thf in aby earlier (dnc has capped skills so no reason not to), when the timed challenge gain experience popped up, after two hours I'd gained 30k sparks which took me to cap, and I had to choose between leveling or turning in sparks and starting back in aby with 200 minutes and low xp. I chose leveling, but I don't think we should have to choose between dropping everything to turn in sparks or not getting more sparks, because right now sparks are one of the most important things in the game to a lot of people

Agreed, parties should always reward more than solo, be it XP, Tokens, Ichor, whatever you're doing solo shouldn't be as good as Party, and I don't mean nerf solo, I mean buff parties.

I also agree, the 50k cap to this and to our waypoint units is kinda low...

I may have written it wrong, but I mean that a person who solos 10 floors should get the same amount of tokens as a group of 6 should get for the same amount. Since Nyzul is an entirely useless event now there's no excuse for this. Either that, or allow us to exchange copper vouchers for nyzul tokens and ichor.

I agree with vouchers, I disagree with solo. This game far too often gives low man groups the same power as a full party or alliance when it comes to content completion and it results in excluding people becoming not only common but often times more beneficial. I'm happy that we can solo/lowman things, I'm not happy that soloing/lowmaning things has become the norm and in the cases of content like Delve is actually better for you than teaming up. Nyzul may itself be more of an example of content that needs a boost in general, but for most content I hate that kind of design. Nyzul is admittedly dead enough it shouldn't matter either way, participation will likely be dead as a doornail either way they went about it.

[Yopanopa]

The thing though for people working on mythics getting a group together for nyzul is impossible or not an option unless they are all working on one. There is zero incentive for anyone to help with it.
