Chocobos out during duty finder queue?

Will they ever make it so we can have our chocobos out while queued for duty finder? I understand it's a technical limitation at the moment but it would be nice if they could add this feature.

I'm not asking for chocbos in duties just having them out while in queue. They could easily be auto dismissed on accepting the duty when the window pops up.

They talked about having this added in the expansion but nothing came of it.

I would LOVE to see this feature.

I don't even know why we have chocobo you can never use. Almost all content gets messed up by having it out.

Want to queue? Nope, can't.
Want to level with leves? Nope, can't.
Want to quest? Nope, most quests have duties can't.

Honestly, people with Rank 10 chocobos are lying.

Err. I lvl up with leves with my chocobo as healer, else I'd be dead so many times ^^

But yeah, while queueing it would be nice that after 2 years they finally do something about it. >.<

Only GC leves don't allow you to have your chocobo because they don't allow you to be in party.
Only a few quests, like some main story quests and some classes / jobs quests put you through an instanced battles. Most of them make you fight mobs on the field or hidden in this dark-purple area: this figh can be done with the chocobo or any party member.

I was just about to post about this myself!! It's something that has always annoyed me since the beginning. It's not even just to rank up my chocobo anymore, since it's on it's way to rank 14, but so I have a backup healer for fate grinding (which seems dead now).

you level them almost completely via food in the stables and the weekly bonuses from the Challenge Log (which i complete easily doing Beast Tribe Quests).

mine has been 20 since before 2.55

Rank 14 one here. Leveled it mostly while SB'ing for materia for Novus's when that was a thing.

They said quite a while back that although there were some technical difficulties with it, they were working on some fixes to get around that problem. It's been a long time since then, and I'd really hoped it would be fixed by now so we could have our chocobos out while we were waiting for duties to start.

(My own chocobo, Kweh'kweh, is a rank 7 healer bird so far, but most of that has come from stable feeding, since I only occasionally get a good opportunity to call him out to fight with me.)

But honestly I do agree, I can only really have him out when I am doing fate farming on lower level classes now.

Would be nice, but maybe the fix of "you can use a companion with another mount" means the DF queue change is on its way. Rank 20 bird here, and still gets regular use for hunts + maps + leves + fates.

I was pleasantly surprised when I noticed that change. Now I can fly with my fat chocobo while having my chocobo companion beside me!

Rank 20 chocobo says KWEHEHEHE!

Daily hunts and daily quests make for lots of easy chocobo XP. 15% xp per week for killing 100 mobs, around 1-2% xp PER HOUR for feeding regularly. 20 isn't impossible, it just takes forever.

That said, being unable to queue with chocobo out makes it worthless for a lot of leveling content since anyone serious about leveling is likely to be doing stuff like fates and leves while in queue for a dungeon.

I'd want to chew my fingers off if I mainly leveled through DF, so other than daily roulettes, I'd rather run fates with my bird.. But then again, I'm chugging away via dailies. Only 4 more to go! (And I should hit 60 on one of those tonight)

It took them what 3 years to find out how to make it to where you can ride any mount with the chocobo out? It will be 5 years before the chocobo isn't counted as a party member, just asking them for this will more than likely give them a brain aneurysm

someday hopefully

I was very sad to learn I couldn't use my chocobo companion in the Diadem :(

In my opinion the companion system needs to be redone.

1.) Any mount should be able to be our companion just add unique skills how ffxi did with their trust system. (Each companion has it's own role) (plus a new role called hybrid for some companions like chocobos)

2.) We need to be able to use them while queued, entering a instance quest, etc after completing our duty solo they should reappear at our side.

3.) shouldn't require greens to summon. it feels like a clunky system. Just allow us to summon them from a list.

4.) better AI why is my healer standing right next to me? Why does it only use choco medica.

5) auto dismiss when entering a party without space. (First summoned first replaced)

6) allow us to use them in dungeons as temp party members they are auto dismiss when someone joins.

So many ways the companion system should have worked instead of what it is. Currently it feels like a rush system the best solution is to scrap it and remake it correctly. Heck ff11 a 15 year old game has a better companion system

Probably the most half-baked thing in the entire game (sans gear glamour restrictions). Maddeningly so. Someone somewhere put it into words very nicely: like 3rd party mods that try to force something into the game which the game's code/system is just not able to handle...except, you know, this is actually officially part of the game, which makes it that much worse. Something like that.

Things like this that are remnants of...earlier times should really take priority and get fixed - sooner rather than later.

Yeah I wrote that completely forgetting you can level them via stable training. XD

But I try to do it the old monster-grinding way, which is next to never because I'm almost always on queue waiting for something to pop up.
