You know that if you accept a DF duty while in a cutscene, the cutscene actually cancels and you can watch it again from the beginning? Just make sure you watch it on the class you queued with, because you can't change classes while in a cutscene.

That aside, the ability to pause the queue would be useful in other cases as well.

I'd settle for automatically leaving the queue when a scene starts, but that might have its annoyances (namely when multiple scenes are played back to back)

Could also suck if you're a DPS job as those frequently have long queue waits to begin with that likely resulted in the player doing things that started cutscenes. When queuing as a tank or healer for most duties it usually pops before you have a chance to do anything.

2 MINOR & 1 MAJOR FOR ME.

Minor:
1. Revisit squadron. Add more squadron dungeons from level 61 - 70.
2. Allow Trust to do AOE

MAJOR:
When upgrading tomestone gear, PLEASE SQ-ENIX, quick making us have to get the coin from the previous 24 man raid along with the coin from the present 24 man raid to upgrade the present tomestone gear. The coin from COPIED FACTORY to upgrade phantasmagoria gear is for that gear upgrade only. The coin from Puppet Bunker should be for the upgrading of the allegory gear only. Both tomestones have nothing to do with each other like both tomestones gear has nothing to do with each other. When we get our 3rd 24 man raid, we have obtain a coin from the 2 previous 24 man raids along with the coin from the 3rd 24 man raid to upgrade the revelation tomestone gear. That's just too much. Dont force us to have to go thru the previous 2 24 man raids, so we don't forget them. That's what Wondrous Tails is for.

I want to trade/sell Triple Triad cards. Give 'em away to sprouts with my extra minions. Sell the rare ones for big money. It's a trading card game.
I also want to give commendations anywhere for any reason. Even cross-world. Maybe 1 per hour.

I'd still like dilapidated actions become emotes instead of the animations being lost forever.

I love the squadrons...AI is bad but they are OP & they do AOEs! Thats my only issue with the Trust...they need to be program to do AOEs.

Thought of 2 more minor things that I would like to see changed.

1. At some point, allow the present tomestones while they are still relevant to be able to purchase items for raid gear upgrades like the solvent, twine, etc.

2. I know this may be difficult to do but it would great for my primary character, who is on one world, be able to transfer gil & items to my alt character on a different world but same server.

You can sell untradeable TT cards to the Card Dealer in the Gold Saucer for decent chunks of MGP.

But hard agree on the comms. I'd love to be able to comm people for helping me in the overworld, like on the Kugane puzzle and such.

Just thought of another one, the fact that I can't save my login info to skip the login process. It's one of the best features of the launcher for WoW (you can even have it skip the security token login on your machine if you want) and the other Blizzard games.

Also I don't care about any excuses not to have it, if there's a risk than taking it should be *my* choice, not one made for me.

Issue is numerous people have proven repeatedly all over the internet that they aren't qualified to make that choice. As such in the case of SE they decided not to give that choice to avoid issues later.

It's actually possible to lock the autologin down pretty tight, so it works only from that particular IP address and doesn't reveal your password. An attacker would basically have to get access to your computer to be able to use it (there are some other, mostly theoretical possibilities which require the attacker to be in a high enough position in a specific organization - and they'd still need some sort of access to your computer to steal the autologin token). Now, gaining remote access to someone's computer is not unheard of - there's a whole category of scammers who try to trick you into allowing them access on the pretense of providing technical support to some made-up problem. As well as various malware. But if you fall for a scam like that then you're vulnerable to a good old phishing attack as well.

The slider that controls lighting in player homes. Get rid of the 1 2 3 nonsense and just have it be a normal slider letting the player choose how dim or bright they want the lighting.

Also allow it to be adjusted per floor so I can have a dimly lit cellar without making the entire house dark.

Indoor furniture available outdoors. Outdoor furniture available indoors.

One tiny thing that has been in my mind recently
Rename the Expert roulette or add another dificulty level for existing dungeon to fit the naming '' expert ''

i've been thinking about it a lot recently since in the end, '' Expert '' dungeons are nowhere more difficult than the ones in the 8 roulette, and also i've recently found myself in parties with people that at best didn't know what a rotation is...

So i know it will sound useless for a lot of people but There is nothing deserving to be called Expert in actual dungeon design, for me

Have a good day everyone

Actually...nah, I prefer the Squadron as it is. You know why? Because while the Trusts perform mechanics they do absolutely nothing else and once they are done performing mechanics they also do absolutely nothing but stand around for atleast 2 GCDs.
Every low level dungeon that they added to the Squadron has been completely doable with said "stupid" squad AI and not only do they deal significantly more damage than the Trusts (and more than players could ever do at certain levels) but they also don't stop to run out of every little aoe while stopping every other action.
The next time I have to spam Brayflox 20 times to get into level range of the next Squad dungeon I would prefer if that still only took 12-15 minutes instead of 40 per run.

Definitely supporting this. I just fear that the different floors count as 1 room or 1 "cell" you load into and that adding different lighting to each floor individually could lead to additional loading screens in your own house...which is certainly not a thing anybody wants.
The only zone I can think of off the top of my head where you have lighting changes within different parts of it would be East Shroud.

Limsa Lominsa has fairly noticeable brightness changes between covered and uncovered areas on a sunny day.

In Eulmore the interior of the Beehive is clearly brighter than the outside walkway in night. Possibly the other way during day but it's nighttime ingame right now so can't check.

Honestly a very miniscule amount of account takeovers or unauthorized accesses are a result of actual hacking or malicious programs. The primary driving cause is usually human error or just natural stupidity and lack of common sense. Since people can't just go to a facility and install a better brain or more memory in themselves we aren't allowed to have nice things.

Increase Poetics to 3k. We're defaulted into buying Augemented Ironworks/Shire/Scavean now. At 2k you can get at most 2-3 major pieces.

Fix lofts. They were made so that I didn't have to glitch things up there to get a second floor, but there's a limit to what I can put on it. Just, no.
^To add onto this, the stairs and lofts shouldn't be limited to being up against the wall. They should work on each other.

Fix CT raids. Ideally, lower the ilvl syncing so we don't skip as many phases as we do now. HOPEFULLY this will also have the bonus of getting people to stop "deflating" their ilvl to ensure they get it. There's more than enough reason to see CT more often than normal in roulettes, we don't need that one too.

This is mainly nitpicking, but to hells with it, its a gripe I have: please make the weekly cap 500 even.

Please let us craft from different classes without having to close the window to switch.

On the crafting note: let us manually craft multiple items at once so long as we have the materials for it. If I want to craft 3 silver needles by hand FOR THE LOVE OF THE TWELVE LET ME CRAFT ALL 3 BY HAND AT ONCE INSTEAD OF ONE BY ONE.

Gotta disagree with that one. What do you think would happen to the already atrocious economy if you could churn out 500 HQ items in 30 seconds?

Por que no los dos? They clearly have the AI mechanics for both. Why not merge them? Give Squadron the ability to do mechanics, and Trust the ability to do AOEs and actually hit things. (That said, I'd rather take the 40 minutes per run going slow and steady than the frustration of ripping my hair out wipe after wipe on some of those Squadron dungeons.... looking at you WPHM and Pharos Sirius....

Removing the necessity of leveling Trusts to use them outside of MSQ.

Honestly, to me it feels like an unecessary drawback, and you have to repeat because they won't gain XP together. The leveling necessity adds absolutely nothing to the game's structure.

Bots, bots, bots. Bots everywhere! Please implement some sort of proactive measure against them. It's been getting steadily worse but now they're just out of control. They're advertising in areas they didn't used to, there are thousands of them online all the time and you really can't go anywhere in Eorzea now without seeing monsters dying from being attacked by people under the floor. Like, imagine how new players are going to react to this mess...
(also please add vertical positioning slider for housing items ♥)

This so much... after doing it in HW, SB and now already 2x i just dont want anymore, even less for right side, its just painfull and an annoying chore. And if you really insisnt on keeping it like it is, at least change the cap to one coin a day or smt...

I get its to make us run the old raids more but roulett is there for that - split each level in its own roulett if you have to but dont force us to do the first raid like 300x the second 200x and the 3rd only 100x lol

True that one sucks, but at least you can work around it and place stuff inside your lamp, like i used the that doma plant you get from doing enclave - it dimms the light pretty well.

Or, at least level all at once.

I play all roles so im fine (besides i DIE on the inside watching those "dps") but ppl who only play tank or healer got a problem there...

Perhaps I should've word this better. By crafting multiple items at once by hand I don't mean oh I toggled 50, I have all the mats, all 50 of them are gonna popped out after I hit the end of Synthesis. No. What I mean is thus:

I want to craft 3 of the same lv80 item. Lets say 3 Lemonade for a total of 9. Instead of having to hit Synthesis 3 separate times, its just once. Once I finish 1 set, I immediately go to the next set without having to end Synthesis. Each one, will still have to go through the process, but there is less windows involved. I don't know why we don't have this already.

Rework PVP make it fun and more rewarding.

Add more unique and intressting types of gear i feel your reusing the same stuff over and over with only minor changes to them.
add more Chest armors with bigger shoulder pads "Zenos anyone?" and Heavier bigger Boots not just the slim leggings or boots that look the same each time.

I'd love to see the following things:
- Ailment Potions (Poison, Paralyze and so on) for higher levels, up towards the level cap instead of being limited to lv50 and below (only ALC specialists can use and craft those).
- Art of War from Scholar and Gravity from Astrologian should have a additional Effect, its kind of unfair how White Mage is allowed to keep the Holy Stun Grenade AoE while the other two just deal damage (slow effect on Gravity and either a Knockback effect or DoT for Art of War would be great)

OOOOOOO this would be wicked cool. I agree that this thy Holy stun grenade is super op and should be fairly equated with something on the other two healers.

Another one I thought of: change the teleport tabs so that they don't display until you've unlocked at least one Aetheryte in that region. Spoilers are no bueno for the players, Yoshi P.

If they can't be hidden entirely, at least have the tab names display as ???? until the area has been reached, like the aether current list.

Absolutely.

-Auto-Hide chat log. It existed in 1.0, and exists in FFXI, I dont know why its not here.
-Auto-Hide hotbar. Again, existed in 1.0

Both of the above in picture form:
https://i.imgur.com/xV5mj.jpg


-The option to turn off the black box/yellow text pop-up text that informs you where you are, what you're doing, what your retainers are doing, what your FC members are doing with the airships/subs every 5 seconds that never stops.

If I could have these three, what I feel very serious experience changers I probably would never visit the forums.

Additionally:

-The option to change all battle text to pop-up style text (how damage over time, and auto attack damage is displayed. Also in version 1.0)
-The option to turn off all other players damage text, displaying only your own damage.

(If these two were available, I would start using damage displays. Until then, I leave it entirely off. That scrolling text, is just not good in my opinion.)

-The option to make all pop-up windows such as The character menu, mini game/Eureka/Battle UI/etc menus all unlimited. Or add them to the UI some how so they all appear in the same spot, instead of all them being completely random all over the screen, and there being a cap of about 100, which there are at this point probably 1000 or more of these type windows.
-The option to loop all music. Especially open world zones.
-Male Miqo'te hands, I totally agree.
-Male Miqo'te default /cpose tail position. It literally clips everything, unlike Female Miqo'te/Male Au Ra/Female Au Ra tails.
-The "ambient" Voice/sounds of a city "put it on a hot plate" and "repeated Lalafell laugh" , "repeated female Miqo'te laugh" that are on a constant cycle removed.
(Ambient sounds should never be obviously discernable. Its amazing that people dont like looped music, but arent extremely annoyed by this looped repeat sounds of "ambient" noise.)
-The option to turn off zone line displays. It works in FFXII because the zones are much larger, and there is no flying. It is very awkward here in my opinion.
-Gathering nodes closer together so flying isnt encouraged, so rather the possibility to chat with fellow gatherers would be encouraged instead. (I would turn mount music back on if this was the case.)
-The option to turn off quest location indicators. (Those black/blue glowing marks when you're about to enter an open world battle. The giant white/glowing indicator that you're about to enter an instanced battle, all the glowing white/blue orbs for an entrance to places such as the Exit of the Inn room. I just need the text, thats it. I dont need super giant glowing indicators, the text is more than obvious enough.)
-Turn animations for players turning their camera PC side (like your own character.) Then canceling all emotes /cposes if a player is turning their character/camera or moving. I am not amused by this behavior.
-Cutscenes for traveling without teleporting. If you're taking a boat or an airship somewhere, its probably because you want the experience of travel. (Same for lifts, please return the lift ridding cutscenes from 1.0)
-Somehow fix battle animations so the character looks like they are fighting, not flailing around because the animations are literally overlapping/cutting each other off, because the animations are much longer than the GCD.



I'm sure there are many others, and many many players have been asking for similar things, (especially the option to turn off the pop-up blackbox/yellow text nonsense for years, its a serious wonder why its not been implemented yet.)

Indeed. For people who have at least half a clue autologin (or persistent session for websites) might actually be more secure. If something pretending to be the game or website is asking for credentials when it should have logged in automatically, it should raise some flags and prompt for checking extra carefully who is requesting the information. But of course most people don't do that and will give the scammer their password.

I guess the only thing I have that can be considered a "minor" gripe are the auto-attack animations. I'm not saying make them super flashy like actions, but at least make me feel like I'm hitting something.

I dunno, I remember playing through and seeing some of the aetheryte names of places I hadn't reached yet and imagining based off of the name what they might look like when I reached them. Didn't really spoil anything for me, rather it made me want to explore more.

---

I absolutely agree, seeing the names of places I'd never heard of excited me and motivated me to keep playing and expanding the horizons. Location names alone don't really count as spoilers imo, if you're someone who hasn't reached expansion content yet then obviously you'll know there's going to be more to see. The closest thing to a spoiler I'd say is Norvrandt's icon in the teleport menu - I'd support changing it to a Crystarium flag.

My gripe? The lack of ear holes or pockets for miqo'tes in most recently released headgear. It just doesn't look right not seeing my ears stick out. The Calfskin Rider's Cap looks really bad.

I would take merging them. Squadron may be "stupid" because they are not program to move out of aoe or do some mechanics but I love them, especially they can mow thru a mob with ease. I enjoy the Trust, they can do mechanics & move out of aoe's but for the love of God, please allow them to do AOE's. With the mechanics abilities they have, shouldnt have to take 30 0r 40 mins to go thru a dungeons.
