1. Isle Sprint - Have it toggle on, and stay on. Having to constantly click it every 15-20 seconds is just annoying for something that should just be a constant buff.
2. Seafarer Cowries - items that take 6 hours to craft give you.. 72?
Some upgrades require 1000+ in the early levels.. that's almost 4 days of time gating with 2 workshops just to upgrade certain EARLY features of the island...
3. Gathering 1 item at a time - Incredibly boring, at least make upgraded tools give more items per harvest. Picking up 1 sand with your hands vs picking up more sand with a shovel?
4. orchestrion - Let it play all over the island, currently i just /bgm 0 and play orchestrions on youtube.
5. Building Design - Can we get multiple designs, every island i have seen so far is just a clone, no differences in buildings at all, why cant we have 'Sharleyan/Gridania/Uldah/Empyreum' styled buildings?

1. Zoomer
2. Zoomer
3. Eh
4. Personally, no thanks, I like the open area's music.
5. I'm sure it's safe to say that's on the list of "more to come". -
08-25-2022, 11:59 AMDixieBellOCEIts an extra button press every 19 seconds for no reason, its on a 5 second cooldown so you can keep it active all the time by spamming it anyway, why not just save the button press and just leave it on.Quote:

My Island is rank 8 now and i had no problem upgrading literally everything so far with the stuff i got only now at rank 8 (8!!!) i need to start to wait for the workshop a bit to well work...WHICH IS WHAT THE ISLAND IS ABOUT DUH. You wanna be done with it in a day?
3. That is a fallacy there, you don't need much mats not the same as you do in outside crafting. So if you need like 1-3 materials of each sort for one crafting recipe ofc that means you don't get thousands from one node lol, there has to be some balance and well grind. If the upgrades and crafts in the workshop would require like 100 wood and 50 twines for one craft i would understand that point but heck put some work in maybe.
4. Yeah would be cool! Just as an option alone.
5. I think that will for sure come in the future, they already said they are planning on adding more content to the island. Would be nice tho -
08-25-2022, 12:09 PMBukachuthere's a reason this "some" people play the critically acclaimed mmorpg final fantasy xiv instead of browser games u reckon?Quote:

I used mount every time from item to item, which i think faster? I just love using random mount to see different mount everytime
Regarding the gathering speed and quantity, they should make it upgradable, copper axe, silver axe, golden axe, admantium axe, more exciting stuff
they should also make deep dungeon for gathering and catching in the island with special ore or legendary creature at the deepest floor -
08-25-2022, 12:15 PMGreyhawkAnd then there are those of us who use a mount to move, which is insane quick on the island.Quote:

Now if they would let us remove buildings, I could progress. :\ I built a second workshop thinking I needed it for a team to remove the soil to expand. Now I need a granary and can't remove this building.

There's a few spots where sprinting is marginally faster than standing still and mounting/dismounting.
Anyway rather than gathering more than 1 item per gather, I'd prefer if they made it so you could trade the green crowies for the other items (ones you can't get from animals/growing/rares). Something like 12 island crowies for 1 item of your choice. A 4:1 trade-in ratio should be acceptable. -
08-25-2022, 12:24 PMRanakuBasically you want to check the market and see what is in high demand, low in stock etc. and then make not the same things in a row but change between crafts in the same category. Like a chair is woodwork and lets say a table is too so if you let your workshop craft them rotatory then the craft output will be doubled. Which means also the cowries will be doubled. That plus making what is in high demand and low in stock can make you easily thousand cowries and more a day especially with 3 workshops which i had after two days of slight grind.Quote:

And that isn't taking the market changes into account. And it is by far not the optimal way. But to say it is 4 days of timegating when you can get 2 workshops running in the first hour of being on the island is a joke. -
08-25-2022, 12:25 PMDarthgummibearThe fact that you are comparing IS to a browser game speaks volumes about how shallow it is.Quote:

08-25-2022, 12:31 PMRanakuA second workshop isn't that bad, just set up some crafts in it and wait a day. Your puppets crafting you stuff gives you tons of exp and cowries and you need both to upgrade. So workshops are better until you need mats which you can get through the granary expeditions.Quote:

08-25-2022, 12:36 PMTheSuperiorGreat reasoning here. I want to play this game, not other games and I'd like modern, improved features on the one I'm playing right now. The other games are still there, and they aren't this one.Quote:

08-25-2022, 12:37 PMDarthgummibearAt least yours works properly. My island broke and I can't make most of the buildings. The options just aren't there, like they were never unlocked even though I not only have the criteria, but have the guide entries so even the game thinks I should have them. I'm halfway to rank 6, and I still only have one option for both the regular and landmark plots.Quote:

I should be able to select item I’m looking for and the gathering material I need should appear on the maps.

This content is said to receive major updates every two big patches. I guess QoL improvements can be squeezed in between.
I wish for permanent sprint toggle that pvp have.
Also, I wonder if I can make shortcut of the island UI's buttons on hotkey bars. Would be much faster than click and click buttons.
I'm not far enough into the island, but a system of convenient teleport points (just set up a chocobo stable for lore sake) to the four cardinal direction of the island would be cool. I'm tired of running through a narrow path from my base to access the island's gathering areas. -
08-25-2022, 01:40 PMSpiritTamerI like it as well. Those kind of games are relaxing and also fun to me.Quote:

Gathering one item is really tedious and gets old quick. The problem isn’t gathering, it’s point and clicking non stop. I would be nice if we could actually hit the trees, ground and rocks with our tools. Like hitting a hit box on a boss and watch bags of rocks, wood etc. fall to the ground or into our inventory. My point is If I can take out my axe, run at a glowing tree a swing my axe like a weapon and hit the hit box. That would be a lot of fun. Pointing and clicking isn’t fun.
Good example is every farm sim game where you hit the rocks and tress a couple of times. The rocks would break and the tree would fall over. I think the devs have something good here and I hope they build upon it. This solo content is actually fun. -
