A small request for one the next patches to come.

Hello & Thank you for taking the time to read this.

I have been waiting to see if SE will be integrating a function like past MMO games where we can "/Shutdown". As I have not seen this in the past patches I was wondering if there would be a possibility that we could see this in the next few patches please. Obviously it isn't a crying matter and won't end the game for anyone I would hope but it would be very nice to have the feature.

Thank you,

Knighthawk

This would be fairly nice to have! It'll probably be there in 2.0 if nowhere else.

i think more important functions would be like:

- tabbing to the desktop in fullscreen mode without crashing the client.
(1 year after release and we dont have this silly function!!!)



- and gameplay kinda things like activating your skills.. its kind of frustrating since 1.19 as a caster.. you cant activate your skill anymore directly after your previous skill.

you have to wait till the animation has ended for 100%.. sometimes im clicking for about 4 times on one skill to get it activated.. "Cure! CURE!, CUURE!!... oh well.... finally :)


dont know why they changed it.. really.

Not sure if they fixed this but... Alt-tab worked the same way in FFXI. (wasn't it some anti-rmt-bot measure?)

They purposely made it so that you have to wait for the cast to finish and there have been a number of threads on it.

As stated in the interview conducted by BG, SE staff made it clear that the "ALT-TAB" function is being fixed and will be available.

Just so the source is shown to my above statement.

Not really. In FFXI /shutdown completely took you out of the game and client -- in XIV and XI /logout just takes you out of the game but not client.

XI dropped you back to POL, XIV drops you back to character select then title screen.

I would like to see this as well, +1 for the link, I think a /shutdown and a /logout would both be nice.
