QoL Changes/Ideas Thread

There are plenty of QoL changes that can be made or may just simply need to be made(varies with opinion). I felt that these things should be listed so the devs can see it and maybe even consider making the changes put forth. Here are some of my ideas:


Private Cottage/House/Mansion Tenants Locking Doors
I'm not sure why tenants cant do this currently. But I think it would be a big help to home owners if everyone can lock the door. Tenant locking could be a permission that can be turned on/off by the owner of course. To prevent abuse

Levemetes In HW Sanctuaries
Come on SE... why? Just why, do you have the "Teleport to nearest settlement" option if there ain't no dang levemete there?? Its also very inconvenient to have to teleport all the way back to Ishgard to get leves and go back.. every time. All they need to do is just add an NPC to the settlements you go to.

Retainer Auto-Ventures
Allow me to explain... Basically this would be where you assign a retainer a mission and then they go out. And keep going out. Example: You give your retainer 20 ventures for 1h missions. The retainer goes over and over again for the amount of ventures you give, and without you going back to the bell. But the rule would be that all items go to their inventory and that they must have inventory space for it. If they run out of space they stop going. Auto-Ventures can be ended but you will not get back your venture!

Gaius EX
Gaius would improve my QoL.


Add more to the list so SE can notice!

bump... ..

Allow people to be invited to parties even with their chocobo out, and if they accept, auto choco dismissal occurs.
Allow the choco to be out while queued in DF, or while doing quests that require you to be by yourself.
Allow minions to be summoned while chocobo is out.

That would be nice. How about letting them ride on the back of your mount with you, or float alongside if they're not the sit-down type?

Onion Knight and Puff of Darkness to interact with each other, they're from the same game dunno why nothing happens when you put them next to each other.

This exists on the lodestone, just not ingame.

Right click > Report Abuse option for reporting RMT tells. I spend more time filling out the current report than I do playing the game....

1. Being able to use Chocobo while being queued for the Duty Finder.

2. Being in a party and being able to queue for a dungeon. I was FATE farming yesterday and there were alot of players doing FATES, but nobody joined our Party. When looking around, we see alot of players with the Searching for Duty icon.

Having the option to use chocobo companion or being in a party while in a queue should have been something that they should have fixed during 2.0.

1. Cooldowns resetting on a raid wipe. This is really bad for fights where the tank needs to use a big defensive cooldown in the beginning, but the part you wipe to is right after.

Monster Item Gathering On/Off
To be able to turn off the ability to get trash items from monsters. Like wolf fangs from wolves. I would definitely love to have this and turn it off when I kill stuff and don't want the bag full.. However, items like Mhachi Farthings and Midan Gears should also count as monster items so players would have to toggle it to get those items. Doesn't seem so bad..

Preview Dye Window!
I want this super bad... I've wanted it super long. The ability to preview a color on a piece of gear you don't have. Example.. you're looking at a piece on the marketboard and you want to know what it would look like as a certain color before buying. You go to the "Preview Dye" option to see it. Almost like "Try On" but "Dye"

End the synth with the end of the synth^^

-An in game calendar for Free Companies where members can create events.

-Queue as multiples roles for duties. It would be nice if we could checkmark what roles we have available, then the duty finder picks the most needed.

-Some type of bonus for members who have already completed their daily roulettes but are willing to go again? "Aww sorry I already did my roulette today"

-Passengers on Draught and Ceremony chocobos are unable to activate gathering skills like Truth of the Mountains/Forest and Collector's Glove.

-Don't know if this counts but eh why not: Our mansions still don't have balcony access.

This is just basically "Queue as tank".

yup + Food duration 1h , so i dont waste half of it waiting on Cds....

Another dumb idea

Dreadnought as a mount, you can pilot it in Final Fantasy XIII iirc and it's an enemy that appears in XIV, always had a soft spot for them.

Yeah, it's like you changed job outside sanctuary. Doesn't makes sense tho.

How about Quality of Death. Giving us different death poses when get knocked out or wiped instead of the same one over and over. I always like seeing the carnage after Kaiser Behemoth or Mahisha cause when they pop and take pictures of the aftermath, but I hate that every dead person has the same pose.

Also, give us the ability to name our Minions to personalize them. As a minion collected, it would be icing on the cake if I could name them.

How about allowing spaces and capitalizing after the space for surnames like Del Toro, Van Halen, De La Croix, Von Erich, Dos Santos, Lo Bianco, etc. or even for people who use 2 names like Billy Ray, Daisy May, Edgar Allen, Jean Luc, José Luis, etc.

If we are doing a leve can we not automatically join a fate it can sometimes get in the way of the leve i am doing. I have been doing leves on a low level alt and i have been in the middle of them and a fate spawns right on top of me

bump------

A new market system.

If someone leaves a dungeon or trial in progress (note: NOT dismissed), and 3 minutes pass without a replacement, allow any of the remaining players to switch their class into the role that is missing, assuming they have it properly geared/leveled for that dungeon.

That way the majority of dungeon runs won't automatically end if a tank leaves.

That's one thing i loved about the newer Tomb Raider games, her body bounces around if she falls from a great height. Not just a thud.

Swan diving off the highest area i could find just to see the rag doll.
