Some suggestions, mostly quality of life, obvious things

I notice tab targeting is based off camera position and not character position. I've miscast/interrupted/couldn't cast because of things obstructing my camera view and not my character view.

IIRC there is a setting that you can click so that you only tab to monsters you're in combat with...it would be great IF it actually worked(well, it would be great if it prioritized the monsters you're in combat with, not just locked you to them but yeah anyway...). Tab target still brings me to every monster and their mother before the ones I'm in combat with. Not gunna lie, it makes me want to pull my hair out.

It would really help melee classes if there were some way of targeting the nearest mob. With a PS3 controller, I think it should be the X button. That one can currently be used to target a mob if none is yet selected, but it doesn't target the nearest one. It targets the one in the most directly straight line from where the character is facing, but that might be a mob clear back in the background if the one you're standing toe-to-toe with is even a couple degrees off-center. With the controller (whose analog sticks are for camera direction and character movement) there's no way of getting the sort of precice control over our character's facing direction that that scheme would require in order to be useful.

Please either make it use camera direction (which at least we have direct control over) or better yet, consider all mobs within a wide arc or semi-circle in front of our character and select from them the one that's closest to our character instead of the one that's the most straight ahead. That closest one is the one that X should target.

Great to hear!

Noticed the targeting thing happens on Twintania a lot when you switch to conflag then try to switch to here doesn't work well.

For example the last boss at Brayflox, if I'm tanking it with my back against the wall, and I cancel my target, I can't target it again even by clicking on its model. I have to zoom out far enough to make targeting possible again at all.

Targeting is often obstructed by invisible or small debris. A little obtrusion can make a whole enemy untargetable unless I move my character out of the way to look at that target from another angle. Clicking on the model is also more often than not useless, while clicking on the nameplate of a moving enemy often don't register.

We've complained about this since beta and it hasn't improved at all.

Ditto. I can have a big door in my face (the inn room door in particular) and be unable to target it because "Unable to see target". Makes me laugh, really. It's up in my face and I can't see it...Suuuure...

Perhaps I play with the camera too close? :P

would be cool if there were some version of FF8 Julia's Piano Bar playing ARR Piano Collection

It'd be great it the Pigment items from Lv.30 Nodes had a static spot, rather than sharing a spot with Crystals half the time...

While we do not have any plans at the moment to implement something like this, we will be keeping an eye on the requests and look into it.

Hi Camate,

Would it be possible if you could ask the developers if they could also look into the vibrate function for fishing as my bf who also likes to play on my account is deaf and partially blind as well as I'm deaf aswell as we struggle to see the rod when in stealth mode and I know there is a chime for fishing but like I said we're both deaf and it's really hard, he asked me about the vibrate function and I told him there is one but not for fishing so he's really disappointed about that

Thanks

hopefully this wont get lost in the thread but i wish there was a sound effect we could turn on when something of ours sold on the MB. with all the random commotion going on around you its easy to not notice that things are selling.
