Some suggestions, mostly quality of life, obvious things

Put an aethernet port near the waking sands.

For a a fairly important place due to the fact thats where the main story quests are I am surprised that theres no port.

I'm sick of teleporting to uldah and then ride a mount. Or go to limsa lominsa and get a boat ride

Just teleport to Horizon. Isn't that far away.

Going to limsa and taking the boat is so fast...just walking from Horizon is fast...

Man. The travel is already so instant. The world already feels so small...and you want it to be even smaller? What happened to those people in XI that enjoyed the adventure and traveling. I don't even teleport 60% of the time just to enjoy the game. Yet there's people who want it to be even FASTER. People are getting more and more impatient...

"I want it.....NOW"

Would have never survived XI or XIV 1.0.

I have to agree with you. Most of this stuff in this thread isnt needed , they want it because they dont want to wait. This is a game things need to take time and no instant, it is a long term game, there is NO need for half the suggestions that have been posted.

Can we please have the number of items shown in our GC's Expert Delivery increased? Or maybe have a filter to chose which types of items to display? I keep all of my crafting gear on me at all times, and because of the 30 item limit or whatever, the window only displays my crafting gear.

That limit is annoying as hell. I sometimes have to drop all my green items on my retainer only to turn in one single item that happens to be at the bottom of the list.

Greetings,

Below is a follow-up from Hiroshi Minagawa in regards to his previous comment on LS, FC, and friend name plates.

Would this really slow down the client that much?

Due to the fact that we have a maximum of 512 members for a free company and 1024 people when you have all eight linkshells maxed out (128 people per linkshell), which totals 1536 people that the program would have to process on top of the max character display process (30 characters for PS3), it would by no means be light compared to other UI processes.

*With 30 characters displayed on the screen, the comparison process would occur 46080 times. As FFXIV is an MMO, there is a possibility that the targets for comparison change for every screen that is drawn, so we wouldn’t be able to decrease the frequency of the process and reduce stress. In regards to the number of times the process occurs, it would be possible to reduce it somewhat by constricting what is processed such as FC members only or FC members and your current LS members.

The implementation of this type of feature wouldn’t likely be cause for a noticeable reduction in game speed.

However, UI features are like dust in the sense that even though they start small when they pile up they become a mountain, and if we don’t leave a good margin for the additional features we need to add in the future, there is the danger that we won’t have the capacity needed when adding new content.

Addressing this kind of display is by no means impossible from a technological standpoint; however, we’ve decided that it’s not something that is high enough priority to implement immediately ahead of other features.

I’m back again! But this time for responses regarding some requests and comments about market board feature.

Right now we can use the slider to search for the item we need of those that are listed out, and if it’s not there we can go to the second page. However, down the line with new items coming in this might be really hard to do if there are 5 or 10 pages.

The search feature for the market boards have been structured in a simple way that allow you to search by category and by name. While there may be a concern about finding the item you need when we add items, we will be increasing the number of categories so that the search becomes easier.

Could you implement a favorite list type of feature?

We will try and look into implementation of this by making a “favorites” category where you can register items.

Can you make it possible to search for multiple items at the same time? Or perhaps an “or” search feature?

We do not have any plans to expand this feature to support multiple item searches or an “or” search feature. We appreciate your understanding.

While Camate is busy on something right now, I'm gonna jump in to what looks like his territory and update you even further with a reply from Hiroshi Minagawa regarding control settings:

It’s currently possible to switch between auto-run, auto-target, and mouse mode settings via the gamepad on the PS3, but could you make it so these switches can be enabled or disabled in the system configuration?

Hello

Currently the auto-target feature can already be disabled.

Character configuration > Control settings > Target tab
Target Settings
[■] Enable auto-target when no target is specified.

By turning the above feature off, even if you are attacked by an enemy you will no longer target them automatically.

In regards to controls where you press buttons while pressing the support button (L1), we will be introducing some features that will allow you to customize the enable/disable settings after patch 2.2.

*The feature that will allow you to customize the allocation of controls for the L3 and L3 buttons will be addressed in patch 2.1.

I've got one to add. When using a controller and accessing the market board I have to click the category, and then hit down multiple times until I can highlight the search button. Could we perhaps have a toggle or change that makes it so that it searched when I select the category so that I don't have to scroll up and down so often when using the AH?

Actually just hit the cancel button after choosing a category. It should go straight to the search button. Or at least it does for me.

I'll give that a shot tonight. That would be wonderful.
