Some suggestions, mostly quality of life, obvious things

[lebirath]

My suggestion is to give priority to player within the same server in the duty finder. Many times I've queued the duty finder as a dps, then another player comes by to queue the very same dungeon and I still have to wait almost an hour (my average is 45 minutes) to get set up with people that chances are I will never get to interact with again. If the party was a really good one then I lost that friend connection ...

OMG!!! THIS!!! THIS!!!! a million times, THIS!!!
I run toto-rak the other day, ALL players lalafel, it was so cute... friendly and good team. 2 in ??lebitan and one in ?diabolos and me in ultros... /cry

i have a group of friends, a FC and a linkshell, but i would have love be able to interact with them again. And to others that have no party in this game, this would be a VERY reasonable way to find friends...

but then again, doubt they will ever listen, at least for now they have more imp stuff.. /sighs

How about limited access to traits from your subclass for your jobs. To keep it from OP to much you would have no access to your secondary class, so Paladin would have traits from Gladiator and Conjurer, but none from Marauder.

Example: Paladin is a Lv30/Lv15 Gladiator/Conjurer. So our subclass is conjurer, from which we receive Cure, Protect, Raise, and Stoneskin. I believe we should also receive select/relavent traits from our sub, ie: Enhanced Mind I, Proshell, Enhanced Raise, and Graniteskin. To access all these traits as a Paladin, you would have to raise a character to be a Lv36 conjurer.

And one more thing. I'm only going to say two words: "Moogle Minion".

kick function (any duty finder instance)
ability to get replacements during primal fights because of leavers and the above.

These would sure improve the quality of my life!

a big NO NO
- Allow to talk to NPCs while mounted (or auto-dismount when talking to NPC
- Let us craft with items stored on our retainers

only if it's an option
- Add inventory-categories for consumables, crafting mats, etc.
- Make it so that only the first tell from a person (within X amount of time) plays the /tell sound

- no more mounts or combat chocobos inside buildings
- buff speed with a timer for mounts if left in a stable area
- option to hide hotbars and show them on mouseover
- keybind to toggle each hotbar or a pool with options like in-combat for pc
- emotes sleep, thank
- chat bubbles option
- fall damage from a certain high must kill, mounted or not
- second name for retainers (not showing on ah)
- hide FC in name option
- possibility to rename all chat tabs
- autohide chat tabs timer and set tab to the right when that chat window is positioned on the right side of the UI
- autohide chat timer when no activity
- vanity system + wardrobe. I want to be able to store in it the old sets I like to keep + allow mutliple dye colors and add a sorting system like in LotRO
- option in duty finder to limit search in our server
- chocobo bards for crafters and gatherers like in LotRO
- chat size 10
- show our debuffs and dots on target in first position and a bit bigger compare to other's
- options to disable group and FC invites
- allow joining a party in an already started dungeon only if key roles are present, a dps would join only if tank and healer are in, a healer, only if tank is here, and vis versa, or let's show the compo of the group before to accept or not (only roles), that will make more people checking the option.
- disable following in dungeons
- autokick from party in dungeons when a member do not pass a "gate" within a certain time (that purple glowing line delimiting zones or boss area). Create a man trap like the cutscene circle ones when there's only one room like for primordials (Ifrit, Titan, et cetera)
- allow whisp in dugeons with an option, sometimes it's more welcomed to give a tip in private.
- option for different sounds from all other FF games in the past, like victory, chocobo riding, passing a level, etc.. with a shuffle option too because after all music is a signature in Square Enix's games.
- roleplay servers asap

- a support group like Alcoholics Anonymous for craft addicts !!!

This thread was too long to read through all the suggestions so I don't know if this was mentioned in here but,

When comparing a new item piece with one you have equipped, could it show ALL the upgrades/downgrades as opposed to just only showing the defense and m. defense?

Like it'll show- Vitality 18 (+2) Intelligence 8 (-1)

That sort of thing. I hate going back and forth between the item and my gear to make comparisons on each stat and then determine if it's better for me to equip it or not.

Give dragoons a trait that attacking lizards and dragon type monsters a 5 to 10% extra damage.

Give paladins a trait that attacking the undead a 5 to 10% extra damage.

Give monks a trait that attacking high physical defense monsters like golems a 5 to 10% extra damage.

If these are already in the game then ignore this post.

Allow note for people in friend and black list. I mean some custom text I can write for each person so that I don't forget what they added me or I added them for.

- buff speed with a timer for mounts if left in a stable area

Something like will probably not be implemented but maybe something like uncommon/rare gyshal greens that would give you a 10-30min buff of the sort.

- option in duty finder to limit search in our server

As fun as that would be and being able to meet people on your own, if the Queue times were much shorter this could be viable. It will only prolong the queue for people who aren't looking for same server seeing as you are now dividing up the group of people Queuing. My 30-50min DPS Queues make me cringe at dividing the numbers up further.

- autokick from party in dungeons when a member do not pass a "gate" within a certain time

Lets say you got to a boss and said "I need to go to the bathroom" and the tank decides to ignore you and pull anyways. I would change this to auto-kick on AFK of about 5-10mins of inactivity.

Dunno if this has been mentioned or not, but I'd like to be able to move the focus targets' cast bar off the focus target frame so the text isn't overwriting each other.

Happy Friday, everyone!

The development team has been working hard to finalize the expansion of the aforementioned cross hotbar features, as well as the brand new user interface features. They are currently in the final stages of polishing everything up and are headed towards a patch 2.1 implementation at full steam.

We'll be announcing all the details in the very near future!
