Gold Saucer QoL ideas

[HakuroDK]

Hey folks! So... normally I would post this in the Gold Saucer forum, but I think these require more visibility from the community.

1.) GATE Notifications in Chocobo Races.

I love chocobo racing, but I also love GATEs. I find that I miss a lot of GATEs because I miss GATE notifications due to Chocobo Racing, and I can't tell if any are available because the Chocobo Square is on a completely different floor from the rest of the Saucer. So if we could get GATE notifications in the middle of Chocobo Races, that would be outstanding!

2.) "Looking for Card Game" Status

I love playing Triple Triad with people, especially on a daily reset when the MGP bonus is up. However, I have to resort to challenging random passersby in the Card Square and even then, I don't know who is AFK or who is even willing to play against me. Having a "Looking for Card Game" status (akin to Busy status and Looking for Meld status) would be so much easier as I could cut out the busywork of finding opponents who actually WANT to play. XD

3.) "Surrender" button vs. NPCs

In order to prevent tournament cheating, this is a feature for NPCs only, where you can surrender a game and automatically lose. This is helpful for people who are playing in the middle of Sudden Death and a Duty Finder pops, or for people who know there's no way they can beat an NPC.

I can't imagine any of these ideas are bad in any way, so I wish to pose them to the community to see what they think.

I don't really have anything to say about the others, but GATEs are easy to find out, it's on the :15th and :45th of every hour that a new GATE starts.

It's just annoying when there's only a certain GATE you want to do, and the message in the square is generic. It doesn't tell you which one is happening. And I don't think it tells you during a race at all.

+1 for that one. I've done a lot of racing and it's become a peeve of mine.

Err, I could swear it shows up in my chat log, which GATE is starting up.

I actually did not know that! That is very helpful information and I thank you for the info!
