Some suggestions, mostly quality of life, obvious things

Three features I'd like to have (or learn how to use if they are in the game!)

#1 - Focus cast key: This lets you set a modifier key ie: alt, shift and when you press that key along with another ability it casts on your focus.

#2/#3 - Toggle for showing only your debuffs/buffs on targets/focus.

While not a high priority by any stretch, I would love to have a wardrobe style system.
Some of the armor sets I come across would love the option to keep that overlaid over my current patchwork set.

A perminent login que function. Not something that tells us to wait till there's an opening (how do we know there is an opening? xD)

I think being able to tag inventory tabs to recieve certain kinds of item would be nice.
Also a setting to turn off dumping quest reward gear into amory chest instead of imventory.

Sound: Make the sound effect for Duty Finder alert louder.

I would love the ability to send /tell while in a dungeon. I'm sure there is some half backed notion that by not allowing this people will focus on the dungeon, however I play a tank atm so if I decided to do 4-5 runs of dungeons solo, my friends will be completely unable to communicate with me. Also nothing ruins the "mood" of an mmo like being unable to talk with friends whenever you want. Plus, even when I do a dungeon with a friend I am unable to carry on a personal conversation because of the other 2 (for now) people who are present.

I like what someone mentioned about letting people who have already made charcaters skip opening cut scene. I don't believe it's necessary to skip the airship scenes though. The airships used to take forever in 11... the time for airship travel in this game has already been cut down so much that the lil scene we do see is hardly time consuming. It's really short, so don't worry about cutting/or skipping scene. I did think though it's weird how the ship takes off without closing the ladder hatch... but other than that, it's fine as is. If people r really that impatient - teleporting has become so simple now too, they always have that option. I don't mind spending a couple lil mins for airship tho to conserve some gill on longer trips. Hope you do figure out how to select what quests go on the tracker, and do the side by side gear comparisons ~ Thank you for answering so many of our questions by the way.

How about the party leader vote for kick option? You know, when somebody goes offline for 5 minutes, I assume they won't be returning (or have encountered the famous login issues, which hopefully should be resolved soon), so we can remove those inactive ones to find replacement. As it stands now, you would need to leave the party - wait for 15 minutes cooldown, wait for queue for x number of minutes again and pray that the next party will not have any issues.

Also, as a suggestion - if there are less than the required number of people in an instance, using the duty finder (because let's say one got disconnected and didn't return), the timer should stop ticking while duty finder is looking for replacements. Unless the duty finder queue can immediately find another member, i doubt the instance could be completed within the timeframe.

Have the chatbox remember the last chat-channel between logins. Hate that everytime I login I must manually change to FC-chat.

I really enjoy the little airship cutscenes.... It enhances the immersion and rp aspect of taking such a long distance journey. Sometimes I'm a little sad they're so short.

My preference to extend upon it. Is too have the airship ride extended beyond taken off and landing. So that it involves sitting and watching the world below go by for 10-15mins. Maybe also re-introduce the schedule where you'd have to que up and wait for an airship to arrive and leave again to set off on your journey. I loved that touch from XI, exspecially where you could miss one and have to wait. Almost as much as I loved that the vendors had limited opening times and Lightningdays closed.

It would be great with the ferry too... If a crossing took 15-20mins and you could spend the time chatting with the other passengers and maybe fishing for ocean goodies. The opportunities for roleplay and meeting new people during these journeys would be wonderful.

I'd also like more opportunities too fall off cliffs and too my death... Like that giant drop on the path into Gridania.. We should be able to fall off and die. And second the request for item previes before buying / crafting.

Personally, aesthetics will trump stats when it comes to gear choices everytime.

The targetting system for a pad is great... Perfect even... But I had to resort to google to learn how to actually use it properly... Maybe this information could be obviously presented somewhere, as would likely remedy most peoples gripes about targetting... The way I'm using it now, I didn't even realise possible till stumbling upon the info on a randomly obscure site somewhere.

When they say, "impact on the hardware" they are referring to the increased strain on there servers, correct? If its not server side, this needs to be talked about more.

Hello everyone! :)

We've been sending all your requests to the development team, and I'd like to respond to what we can at the moment.

Quote:

---

-Allow users to input text in the chatbox for items and map markers that others can click and view.

---

The development team definitely understands the need for this and is currently looking into implementing this.

Quote:

---

-Add a single click way to add the maximum amount of an item for vendors, banks, etc. rather than manually typing the exact number.

---

The team is currently looking into making this process easier.

We'll continue to provide responses as we get them!

I guess I'll take a moment to suggest:

- Highlight currently useable crafting recipes in the crafting log. So we don't have to click through each and every one until we find something we can make.

Auto log off after a period of being idle. With a countdown confirmation to auto log out.
It doesn't exist. It's existed in most MMO's since 2000.

In addition, why is there no queue to log in? Why is it a crap shoot of who gets in with a lucky timing click? Shouldn't there be a lineup of when people tried to log in and whoever tried earlier should be allowed priority. These things seem pretty standard and logical, yet they're missing.

There are thousands of people literally just afk for hours, I myself have done so, simply because I'm afraid that If I come back an hour later from my errand, that I won't be able to log back in cause of 1017.

It's gotten to the point where I might as well just leave my character in game permanently. Why not? My comp is powerful enough that I can just alt tab and do other things. Instead of being able to play a game when I want to, I have to sit here writing on the forums. I think many others are already doing this as I've seen people who haven't moved in *hours*. This is only compounding the problem of server congestion, and why it seems things have gotten worse even though SE has been "expanding" service.

Allow us to manually edit what the quest tracker shows by adding a "Track" Column to the quest journal with checkboxes.

Also add the ability to automatically set them as "Do not track."

I think it would be Nice to have a FATE log or somthing of the sort, that lets us keep track of what FATE's we have completed and what rewards it gave us.

I'd like to be able to macro summon skills to replace the relevant pet attacks in my hotbars and immediately give the "Steady" order, so to that end I have a few requests regarding /command functionality:

• The ability to assign a macro to a hotbar through a text command, such as /chotbar set 96 1 RAR to place my #96 macro into the slot.
• The ability to assign pet actions in the same manner.
• The ability to execute pet commands either through /ac or a /pet command.
• The ability to edit cross hotbar filtering through a text command, such as /chotbar filter combat 3 off to filter out cross hotbar #3 with your weapon drawn.

For the love of my inventory, please make the fisher's tacklebox part of the armoury board. I've got two entire pages worth of inventory taken up by bait.

give is coodown numbers on the ACTUAL hotbars, i can't believe this isn't implemented already.

When we use Cure or other healing spells, could you make it so we don't automatically bring out our weapon?

This makes it difficult on PS3 when I need to target players not in my party but can't since I need to sheathe my weapon back since I only target enemies with a drawn weapon. It's really annoying.

I would like an option to make the emote list show in alphabetical order please, it would make finding them so much easier. :p

If an item is saved on a gear set, I'd like at least a notification of this if you try to sell, trade or submit the item for a leve.

I agree with most of what has been posted. I however did not see anyone mention anything (over the last 18 pages) about Linkshell and/or Free Companies. I don't know about you guys, but I know that I would really appreciate a sort by a-z first name/last name on the members list in both the Linkshells and Free Companies.
There is no option to sort by current class level or any class level, for that matter. We can't sort by names either. Same thing for location, language, and rank. If anything, the Linkshell/Free Company Master should be at the top, but most of the time, they are somewhere in the middle. I honestly don't see any sort at all. It just shows everyone randomly. It would be great to have some sort options available. The only one that is available is to sort the offline people from the top of the list, which helps a lot, but it is still troublesome to find members.

How has it not been mentioned yet that they should allow whispers while in a dungeon?

The best argument I've heard against this is "You shouldn't need to whisper while in a dungeon, you should be paying attention". For real?

I'm surprised this wasn't front and center on a topic like this.

But...You have the spinny thing? Why do we need the rigidness of numbers. I prefer the analog of the "clock-like" timer.

On the support side of things, I'd actually like to see even just an automated form email saying that my ticket has been received. That and up to 2 weeks for a resolution regarding an account issue is way too long. I would think 3 days would be more than sufficient to at least acknowledge the request.

I just wanted to point out that this was already possible.

If you look at the box asking for a number, beside said number are plus and minus signs. Clicking once on the minus sign when it's already on one will loop around to the highest possible number. For example, it you have a stack of 63 and the number is currently set to 1, pressing the minus button will change that number to 63.

can we get a right-click ignore/report? Please.

I found dragging a stack to the selling section asks you to set a price (market) or sells all (merchant) so its already there.

could not have asked for a better team, thanks alot Camate!

Not going to happen, but i throw it in anyway;

Move the EU servers to the EU... Latency and telegraphs don't work well together. (plenty of other minor issues related to the latency, but this one is the worst)

You can configure in UI options the things you can tab-target while your weapon is drawn.

Actually, what I was referring to was a single click method referred to in the quoted post. It also covers things like claiming all the gil from your retainer (by hitting the minus button once) and selecting how many quick synths you want to do in a row and anything/everything else that asks for a number while having a maximum. Also, I find dragging to be more cumbersome than a single click.

But yes, dragging stacks does work with some things.

Ability to issue commands to pets while casting/sitting/dancing/whatever.

The ability for a setting for free company members to put money or items into the company chest without being able to take them out.

For example: so crafters of another rank in the company can take them out, and every company member can save towards the company housing.

create a button that hides all other players to clear up lag in highly congested areas, aka fates after lvl 30. Only people we want to see is our group, not 500000000000000 people cluttering our screen.

I suppose there should be a timer and a smart function for every single thing you do, as if the human being can't be self-sufficient anymore. Heck, SE hasn't even implemented a full auto-translate yet and the community is asking for non-relevant fixes!

Give me a break people, grow a brain and juice it up with grade-A protein!

Please Make a request repair function for other players like in 1.0

Make it so that you aren't forced to accept your quest rewards during a cutscene, I want to be able to open my inventory/armory chest/character view to compare the quest items with my own items before I decide whether or not to take, for example, the gloves or the allagan gold piece.
