Quality of Life Thread [Patch 4.2 and beyond]

- Return the run action to the way it used to be

Personally, I like the Sprint changes, minus the 60 second cooldown. I think, in combat, 60 seconds is fine, but out of combat, it should be reduced to 30 seconds again. It is REALLY ANNOYING to have to wait a full minute to Sprint again when I’m playing my baby alts that don’t have mounts unlocked yet.

- Unlock Balmung before our server dies

Lucky’s Census has Balmung still at ~21k players as of the end of January. Until the population goes down more, I don’t think SE will unlock it. I also think they are afraid that people will just flock back to it the moment they do, which is another reason it is still closed.

- Expanded Inventory is supposed to mean that I see everything in one window. Not two tabs. Put it back the way it was. It wasn’t broken.

Yes, please. It’s like the old saying goes: “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!” Literally no one asked for this change.

- Make the glamour dressser storage at least 500 items. As a veteran I’m running out of room already.

I’m down for more storage.

- Fix the double bun hair style on Miqo’te. It’s horrendous.

Mother of God, please fix this hairstyle. I know the designer probably hates Miqo’te but please fix it. It’s the only hairstyle that comes close to replacing Lightning’s hair on my main...minus the drunkenly placed buns.

- MSQ Quest Roulette should have skippable cutscenes. I’m not running it anymore.

Really, they should just dedicate time and resources to turning it into a solo instance by 5.0 with Squadrons or NPCs.

- More tabs on glamour plates please.

Please. I think there should be several more; enough to cover one per role (crafters and gatherers included) with some extras.

- Let us use orchestrations on our chocobos.

Mobile orchestrion sounds really nice. I usually don’t have mount music on unless I’m riding a Savage or Primal mount because I am sick of the generic mount music. I would love to have the background music for The Fringes playing while I’m flying around Sea of Clouds or something. :3 (I adore the music in The Fringes; I haven’t changed my orchestrion from that music since I got it.)

- Shiva emote, and Odin emote in the cash shop.

I personally am for this (as well as old minions from OSTs, Artbooks, and Plushies), but others will say “something something exclusivity”. I don’t care if they want to put the items in the cash shop a year after the codes for the items expire or are no longer available. Or even sooner. I have the code before others AND awesome merchandise to go with it. Exclusivity and “limited time only” things have never really been my thing.

- No more losing dyes when I put things in the armoir.

To add to this: just expand the Armoire to cover ALL Mogstation purchases. I would love to free up retainer space by storing the Chinese and Korean outfits in there.

No.
Balmung is no where near dying. Go to Ul'dah if your that lonely lol

You know... uh, uhm...

We have 200 slots in the glamor plate thingy, but that doesn't mean you have to put EVERY SINGLE ITEM YOU OWN! 200 slots should even be more than enough. If you can't deal with that, then you're doing something wrong.

Now what SHOULD be increase is the number of actual glamor plates. Like lol we can only have 10 outfits across all of our jobs? I was hoping it'd be 10 PER job.

Yes I should put in every item I own. It’s a separate system from the old glamour system. It also frees up a ton of space. Don’t be rediculous.

[DamianFatale]

So now you're admitting that you could bump threads that already exist and get them more potential attention just to make your own. Okay man

Bump an old thread with a lot of irrelevant information? Nah. I’d rather start over fresh!

[DamianFatale]

I laughed really hard when I read this, probably too hard.

Claims balmung is going to die, still has highest population across all worlds.....

If you’re not actually on Balmung, I don’t think you have room to talk. Balmung IS dying for some of us. It’s becoming harder to find RP, and if that sounds laughable to you, then it doesn’t apply to you, and you should mind your own business. I also don’t wish to vacate my apartment, and move to Mateus. Make it so I can transfer my apartment, and then we will talk.

I am currently on Balmung, I roleplay. It doesn't need to be unlocked. It would be nice if they had an invite system like FFXI, but there are still PLENTY of people to RP with. Maybe the issue is not the lack of people to play with, but the attitude of those seeking RP.

[Rinuko]

If it’s so hard to code, then why change it when no one asked for it in the first place?

He was saying something it was necessary due to the inventory increase in 4.0. Probably a technical reason

They did and i think sitll are. You just have to pick a prefered server.

200 is super strict. If you leveled all classes to 70 there is 75 slots alone to its glam (math might be off). I have a lot of event stuff i wanna put in there and other glams i want to use.

No 200 is way to low, i can only imagine for someone who do glam much more than i do.

fix:
BS, lol

I dont know what you calling out on BS but here is the post i was refering to.

You're entitled to your opinions on the rest, and you're even entitled to the opinion that Balmung should be unlocked, but the notion that RP is now more difficult to find on Balmung is not an opinion but a totally incorrect "fact." As someone who is on Balmung, RP is still as easy to find as it used to be, whether it's by attending the numerous RP events every week, doing walk-ups at the Quicksand, joining RP LS's and FC's, or utilizing the RPC and tumblr to make connections. I've played actively on Balmung since launch, put myself out there and networked a ton, and I still meet new faces in Balmung's RP community even this long into the server lock. Unless you're perhaps someone with a known history of being rude and inconsiderate to other people who can only rely on fresh blood to the community who are unaware of your attitude and reputation, in which case it sounds as if the issue would be you and not the server, you should have no issue on Balmung. If you think the grass is greener on Mateus, you don't have to transfer, you can just roll an alt there, since it's not like you need to immediately have a maxed out character just to RP. Cheers!
