Small QoL Improvements

[Zhexos]

Hey everyone,

I'm back with some more quality-of-life adjustments!

While we cannot promise that all of these will be added, we're currently considering the following adjustments and additions:

Future Possibilities

• Visual buff for newly-raised
  We're checking to see if it would be possible to add some type of buff icon to show when a player is temporarily invulnerable after being raised.
  
  
• Sanuwa and Kongamato mount actions
  Currently, the Sanuwa and Kongamato mounts which players can obtain by progressing through beast tribe quests cannot use mount-specific actions, unlike those from the beast tribe quests. We're currently considering to see if would be possible to add the special actions to these mounts.
  
  
• Waymark
  The dev. team is considering to see if it would be possible to have waymarks displayed on the map/minimap.
  
  
• Crafting
  • Currently, when the crafting action "Name of the [Element]" is used, the skill can be used again when it is already in effect. The dev. team will check to see if it would be possible to disable this action while it's already in effect.
    
    
  • Currently, higher tiered food recipes only yield one meal per craft, while the amount of materials and effort required to craft these items are similar to crafting gear and other items. The dev. team is checking to see if it would be possible to increase the amount of items which these food recipes yield per craft.
• Company Airships
  • The dev. team is looking into adding new methods to obtain airship repair kits.
    
    
  • The dev. team will see if it would be possible to display the durability of the airship's parts when redeploying the airship.
• Disciple of War/Magic retainer item level perks
  We've received feedback from players requesting to increase the amount of items that Disciple of War/Magic retainers can earn from ventures based on their item level. The dev. team will consider increasing the amount of items which can be yielded moving forward.
  
  
• Large-scale FATE adjustments
  We've received feedback from players stating that for large-scale FATE such as Steel Reign (a.k.a. Odin) is becoming harder to complete due to fewer participants. The dev. team will consider adjusting the difficulty so that it can be completed with a smaller group of players, including new players.
  
  
• Emotes
  We're confirming if it would be possible to add a favorites tab for emotes that players use frequently.

Please do this for high tier alchemist potions as well and not just food. In fact I'd argue that this is a more important issue for potions than it is for food since potions are consumed at a much faster rate and therefore you need them in much greater quantities.

Depending on your FC buffs, you can get through an entire raid night with only 4-5 pieces of food. In that same raid night, you might use 1 or 2 potions on every single attempt. Over a 2-3 hour period that ends up being anywhere from 12-36 potions.

I know the Elbst didn't have any special actions with the Sahagin quests, but it did have that water spit move during one of the summer events. Could we get that added to the Elbst mount?

Ive been waiting for this too.

Elbst should get special actions like on Moonfair Faire 2014. I really love that action on that event.

There's also the Sanuwa and I assume the Kogamato that unlike the elbst, actualy had emotes/abilities when their trainers loan them to us, but still are unavailable when we earn our own

Large-scale FATE adjustments

Odin is not a problem, he still attracts massive crowds and is announced in Hunt linkshells, shout chats and even PFs when he spawns. I've seen him killed twice just last week on Cerberus.

The real issue is the lesser large-scale fates, such as the Cancer boss in Eastern La Noscea. Those are pretty much impossible to do now, especially in the more deserted zones.

Special Tarrasque Force anyone? The Fate I don't think anyone can do even with all those FATE parties around?

I haven't seen any of the large-scale FATEs in the new zones be touched in weeks either. With everyone power-leveling and crystal farming, they're just not worth the time involved. And with less and less people doing either, I can't see them being done either.

In a dream world, something like a "greatly" increased chance to have a crystal drop from them would probably see them done every time. And I doubt it would have that much of an effect on the grind because they don't appear all that often anyway. I love to do them when FATE leveling because they break the monotony of killing waves of trash or a boss that's just an XP piñata, but even using shout chat and the PF I can never get more than one or two people joining.

Make it 50-100% drop rate for a crystal for completing the world FATE.. I mean, the relics are getting another upgrade soon anyway, right?
