A couple of QoL suggestions
Hi all, I've been thinking recently about some quality of life improvements that could be made that I think would benefit more than just myself. Now these are my choices of course but any other suggestions are good to hear.
1. TP Displayed in the Party window
Not sure why this hasn't been done sooner as I feel it's just as important to know your parties TP as it is MP. I've been playing as BRD a little more recently as I main WAR/PLD and I find it impossible to gauge if/when I should be boosting TP for my group. I don't need to really know that a DRG has full MP because..well they don't use it. I've seen similar threads with regards to NIN using Goad and when to apply it to a MNK for example.
If this was at least a selectable option (ie. can turn the display on/off) it would be a nice addition and allow players to boost TP before players start shouting or actually run out.
2. AOE markers colour selectable back to Red
Well I preferred it when it was back as being red and found it a lot easier to spot when fighting in water for example. I know this isn't a massive problem I just think that making the game better for those who suffer with colour blindness (as is the reason it was done) should involve an option for turning it On or Off. I'm not colour blind and saw the Red AoE markers easier than the Light orange ones we have now. So being able to select this (as many other games do) would be great.
*Also if I recall the Devs said they were planning to do this.... I don't know how many months ago and it's still not here. Granted I'll take DX11 and a new Expac but surely it didn't take long to change the colour originally so why is it taking this long to be able to turn it back?*
3. Key Items in Inventory
Can we please please get more things added to this inventory space. Atmas for instance take up my standard inventory, beast tribe tokens take up space, UAT, Oils and SoT all take up space when I have a huge Key item inventory with nothing more than 3/4 items in it. SE said they have to be careful with space as it increases the server storage dramatically because of the data volume for players.
Quote:
I previously talked about inventory, and due to the fact that everyone’s character data is so large, the amount of data transmitted through the servers would increase if we were to increase the amount of saved data for a single character. We’ve constructed an optimal server environment by making adjustments up to the smallest of bits, and if we were to increase the amount of data transmitted we expect that there would be an increase in the amount of lag, server crashes, and loading time when changing areas, so addressing this is extremely difficult.
So why not be smart and add more things to that side of the inventory, it's space allocated to my character that's not being used in the game and in an SQL Database somewhere i guess. That's pretty much all I can think of at the moment with regards to the HUD but I'd appreciate feedback from others on this and of course any other suggestions you may have.
