Feature Request Feedback: One week of development time?

[Sirmarki]

Is SE listening though? Would be nice to have some feedback on our suggestions in this thread.

I think it's more of a thread based in the realms of fantasy, but it doesn't hurt, and well, you never know.

Not sure about the one week time... two weeks at least, or one month would be more like it, but... for something small'ish, maybe get the alter egos a bit stronger via an additional quest (probably would be just a RoE defeat more stuff).

Should require maybe master in job points on at least one job or something.

They can get pretty weak with the locus and such, and, well, the lesser big bosses in Sortie just wipe them out (aside from Ghatjot, whose area attack range is not ridonkulous).

That said, I've done Kei and almost Fu solo with them, and Ghatjot, too, but only because I can get them just out of range of things.

I imagine they do not want to do this though, since they'd be too strong for other things and so on and forth.

I would love some farming/grinding opportunities for crafts. Going out to the wilds, gathering stuff and making useful things out of it.

This is a really good idea. I hope SE does come back to this thread and implements this suggestion. Even if crafting materials came from Sortie or other content, it would be engaging. Food for magic users also has room to grow. (There has to be something between snow cones/crepes and Stewpots/Repasts). I also would like to see craftable ammo with status effects, like Sleep / Paralyze / Slow.

This kind of fantasizing is always fun and from this context, I approve of all this. However, there is one issue with the thread and that's people don't really know what you can do with "one week" of dev time. Also, are we talking one person for 40 hours or are we talking a team of people? One week is very little time in game dev land, and anything more than bug fixes or number/stat tweaks will likely take more than a week.

Thanks for the reply. I answered this here: https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/t...l=1#post656951

Just to repeat, it's 40 hours of development time. So, it could 5 people doing 8 hours of Developer Work or 1-person doing 40-hours of development work. (Let's assume the any necessary preparation or research that is necessary is compelted before counting 40-hours)

Going that route, my focus would probably be on QoL type stuff. there are quite a few small things in that category that would be really welcome, I will have to think on a few specific things. Maybe also a few probably unrealistic things but still stuff I hadn't thought of earlier.

I'd file it under probably not doable, but I'd say one of my fantasies would be equip sets for puppets, as re-configuring them is rather time consuming. (Maybe being able to mark attachments as "favorites" so the ones you use at the most would be at the top of the list might be more realistic, that isn't a bad idea either)

QOL things,

Einherjar: remove or lower the Entrance time restriction (make it 30 mins, or even every 20), that and/or up the points gained, even doubled it would still take you 25 runs.
Omen: Lower the number of cards needed to upgrade gear, OR Change the trade in system from 10:1 to either be any 10:1 or 5:1
Abyssea: Remove the timer, Does it really matter now?
AMAN Trove: Fix it so Shards and Cards are not "rare" drops, its nice to have them as an option on Aman trove, but so many times i've opened a loud thud and gotten 1-2 shards and that is it, is maddening.
Odyssey: Allow us to do more then 1/day, like maybe 2x a day or allow us to save up mooglephone like we can in Omen so that we could do 2-3 on one day if we wanted to.
Sortie: Allow us to trade in Starstones, or Rubys to the goblin for Gallimaufry, even if its 1/5th the cost, like a Ruby costs you 15,000 to buy, the Goblin would give you 3000 if you were to trade one back to him.

New campaigns that are relevant, Like what about Odyssey or Sortie ROEs/Campaigns for some extra points per month, or week

Lower it even more? I guess you wern't here when einherjar reentry time was 72h. To me already 1h is way low, it all depends on one's point of view

It's pretty low compared to what it used to be but if it was 30 minutes, you could alternate doing a Nyzul Isle run and an Einherjar while working towards mythic weapons.
