First-Annual "Why is This STILL Not a Thing"

[Joven]

Welcome to the First-Annual "Why is This STILL Not a Thing", where we can discuss features we think SHOULD have be implemented by now and some we feel that NEED to be.

Example:

Should - Logging out via player owned beds to earn the Rested EXP. bonus

Need - A separate (preferably craft-able) pouch (LTW/WVR) or box (CRP/ARM)
inventory for fishing bait

Tells in dungeons.

Usable macros.

Better netcode.

Fun unique and interesting content. Thanks.

Sorry to hear that you aren't having fun, but I'd like to keep this somewhat serious

Yes

Never used macros, so didn't know they didn't work

The macro system here is laughably bad. They are intentionally made so that you can't use them for combat effectively. I would welcome a more functional macro system like other modern MMO's have.

no tells in dungeons then you'd have random kicks and abuse of so many systems going off, plus harassment of another player, or a player taking there entire dungeon run to talk to someone outside the dungeon.

Macros remove the ability queue. The ability queue is small window of about half a second before the GCD comes up where the game recognizes you hit a skill; this means it will queue up that skill and fire it off as soon as the GCD is up. Macros completely remove that window so the game doesn't even try to register that you pressed a skill until the GCD is actually completely up. Thus, there's a small delay each time you use a skill that snowballs overtime at best, or causes you to miss an important window at worst.

Netcode relates to client/server communication. Ideally, they'd fix the game so that there is no more getting hit by nonsense even if you moved as soon as you saw a cast bar, and no more Benedictions healing corpses.

Your first point already occurs in party chat; those who want to be kind to someone would send a tell to avoid embarrassing them, while those who are toxic would just carry on being so.
Your second point already occurs because people talk in linkshells and FCs while they're in dungeons.

well I think the original idea for tells in dungeons was just for intra-dungeon communication only, but I do see your point of individual harassment.

Though I could also see it as a way to give another player advice on the side without calling them out in front of the entire party.
