Minor Gripes You'd Like To See Changed or Fixed: A Thread

[glitteringcosmos]

I'd like to see more Dye colors. Bright bordering on gaudy colors namely. Chartreuse yellow is a my white whale in this regard but I also would want to see other tertiary colors and some bright oranges and purples as well.

I would also like to see more unlocked "replica" sets of gear like the PVP i100/110 sets, espeiclly sicne SAM, GNB, DNC and RDM lack equivalents. Relatedly i am also miffed that the Faire sets left out a headpiece since that means that the Shisui headpieces lack a dyeable counterpart.

Outside of Cosmetics. I would want a few extra hotbars across the board because all the class ones were used on organizing minions/mounts and I want room for BLU setups, failing that the ability to copy PVP bars to PVE ones would suffice.

For GroupPose, I'd like the ability to change gearsets within the mode, as well as the ability to access job skill animations as emotes.

I'd love for more dyes/more customizable dye options (I think Meoni calls them dye slots when he brings this issue up, which is a lot). It kinda sucks that you can only have x number of dyes options for the gear and doesn't really lend to the whole immersion thing in general when you seen dozens of characters sporting the exact same glam as you in the same colors.

Pleaaaase more hotbars and macro options SE! And while we're at it fix the macros so that they don't fail << >> The number of times I've wiped because I hit my invuln macro only for it to only execute the chat action and not the actual... you know... invuln action.... also the number of times I've missed a rez because my macro decided to not properly rez the person I was targeting. Yes I double checked to make sure the macros aren't broken. Yes it's still an issue LOL

I think gpose needs to be made more intuitive in general. It's so needlessly complicated and confusing that I rarely use it for that fact alone.

The macro itself isn't broken its an animation lock and you have to plan to be able to absorb one hit before it fires off. THe only invulnerability move that is somewhat instanaoues is WAR Holmang ability you still take damage but you can't drop below zero. Just like the DRG jump is an animation lock and they can still get hit in the process.

Ohhhhh that explains a lot. Thanks for that o/

The age slider doesn't work like the way I want. Why can't my character be the age that i want them? Is it bad for the WoL to have a larger age range? And they changed my favorite voice.

Agreed!! Being able to go as young as a teenager or as old as... well, however old we want, that would be amazing. I want to play a young Elezen and we have the character models... *sideeyes the twins*

Hey It's me again with more suggestions:

1) When dead, option to teleport to the nearest Aetherythe too;

2) Populate the Residential district streets with NPCs wandering around - to give them a less barren aspect;

3) Ever since SB, SMN's Physick became separated from SCH's one. Why it kept scaling with MND? Can we have it scale with INT so it will be useful for once?

4) YoHRa gear look like fashion clothes, not armor... The whole armor class silhouette is really absent in that case... can we get replicas of the sets when the raids are done with? A good thing to spend the coins on.

5) Can we give unique names to our Minions please?

6) Can we choose our name's color on the profie editor? This way the chat log would have more visual differences between who posts what. Sometimes on spammy text situations is quite hard to follow up.

7) On that note, can we adjust the minimum scroll height for auto-scroll to stop? It's annoying that I have to scroll a LOT for that to happen, and sometimes in busy situations is really hard to do so.

8) Can we get optional chat bubbles? They are good for roleplayers, but they are also good in dungeon/raid situations when it's too busy and you don't notice someone asking for something important. With a chat bubble it would appear in the middle of your screen and chances to miss are smaller;

Fun fact I learned today; you do actually teleport to the nearest Aetheryte if you die in mid-air. I was flying back to Formidable from Stilltide and got nuked from orbit by a stack-up marker. SO THAT'S A THING THAT EXISTS and just needs to be further implemented lol. But then I guess it would make the whole home point moot.

Mine are mostly glam related!

- Bigger wardrobe please...400 slots is most definitely not enough for all the glams I want to store.
- Cross-job glamouring: some job-locked sets would look amazing for other jobs.
- Specific dye channels rather than just coloring one part of an armor/weapon entirely
- Ability to set the main menu theme to whatever we want without going into movies (I love ShB but that opening HOARRRRRR can get a bit much after a while)

ABSOLUTELY AGREE 1000%!!!

I also would like to add a very important gripe (at least to me).

Please, for love of all things good, if you find the same size property elsewhere and you move your estate...please just move everything AS IS! Do not take up the whole floor plan inside and store furniture!!! I am begging you, SE! I have already had to redecorate the FC house due to relocation. But my personal house is full and my storage is full. It is already a con that you cannot have anything in your storage if your item count is maxed out anyway (what does it matter?) or else you cannot relocate. But if you moved everything - lock, stock & barrel then it would not be a problem! Sure some houses may not be exact so things might not fit perfectly, but it would be a lot easier to repair than to completely redo. Please consider.

I totally agree with the whole dye option requests. Dual channel dyes would be amazing, but I also would love to see some more of the pearlized, metallic or even glittered colors...especially a bubblegum pink (lighter than cherry, darker than pastel but a true pink not rose, coral or purple). I do not think I would dye anything else another color if I had that one.

Since anyone can get the conjurer’s mount these days at such a low level, please consider a newer one like a glittery allicorn similar to Pegasus or maybe the water horses from the fairy lands? That would be amazing!!!

I am all for more storage and certainly more glam plates. I have 10 retainers and they are all full, my closet is full, my extra large chocobo saddlebag is full and my inventory is getting close. I desynth everything I can or turn the items in, but what’s a girl to do?!?

This request is a big one. Please give a general amnesty to those who were banned from this forum years ago and are still playing. My husband has played since the beta, has had his SUBSCRIPTION EVERY DAY, NON-STOP SINCE THE BETA, but has been banned from this forum for several years for no good reason other than ticking off a group of trolls so they would all report him. He wants so much to come back so he can discuss his favorite game with like-minded individuals. He tries on Reddit but it is just not the same if you are a decent person. Hahahahaha. Anything goes there.

I really hope SE listens and implements some of these.

Can't do Action X because Window Y is open.

I'll raise you one: don't ever ask a confirmation question if it turns out I can't even do the original requested action in my condition.

Why does the lala walk animation look like they're models walking down a runway covered in waist deep marshmallow fluff? When we run its obvious that we have regular humanoid bone structure, but the walk is some kind of demented stomp/waddle combo.

Let us pick our duty complete stance or make the lala's less goofy. Nothing like seeing that "balance on one foot sun salutation" after narrowly defeating a boss who was going to poison the earth/kill our friend/undo reality or whatever.

Give the option to repair an item at market rate at the glamour dresser/armoire instead of making me close out and find that item in my inventory and then repair it with a G7 (overkill) or go off to a mender outside of the inn. I get it, you want to avoid people using the dresser to avoid the infinitesimal cost that is repairing armor in this game. How about "This item cannot go into the dresser until it has at least 100% durability. Repair for XXX gil?"

Aetheryte tickets for centurio seals. nothing like doing my weekly lvl 50 B ranks to have access to aetheryte tickets. Very easy sure, but random extra step.

It was nice to be able to Nascent flash by ourselves, but that upgrade broke the ability to macro Nascent Flash to specific targets, like focus or even a persons name.

For me, mostly minor but QoL... couple of "impossible wishes" tho.

1) True Windows UI. I get it if you're on a playstation or whatever, but there's no reason I shouldn't be able to have all the windows open if I want.
2) Similarly, overhaul the retainer UI. It should be 1 click on the bell, 1 click on the retainer and then I should be able to see the retainer's inventory, what they're selling if anything and their current venture. Essentially eliminate the entire "what do you want to do with this retainer" and make it 1 interface, with tabs if needed. In my mind, it'd look like our inventory screen with "Venture" "Market Board" as tabs instead of where we have reputation, etc.
3) Remove most stat Materia, and remove the stat as a whole. As in, there is no more VIT+54 or INT+54, but rather just a generic BLAH+54. Or just tie it to the iLVL. Then make/use stats that all jobs can utilize to varying effect to add minor variety to play style. Something like HASTE vs DMG+ where it is basically equal whichever route you go..just do you like smashing buttons more or seeing bigger numbers? I don't know well enough to make an educated idea here, but I'd rather horizontal progression than being locked into specifics Alternatively, Materia that gives access to non-job abilities, like having Regen.. or god forbid RAISE.. on your BLM. Nothing game breaking, but might be interesting to have an extra DoT or something in my rotation.
4) Re-do HP and MP in general. It's kind of stupid to have 10,000 or whatever MP at level 1. Make it level up naturally from 1-50, reaching a max of something like 9,999 HP and 9,999 MP. This would have the side-effect of maaaybe making certain mechanics no longer brute-force-able. (eg surviving a primal limit break without care)
5) Dye Channels. Even if it's only from 6.0 gear onward, items that have 2 or more "slots" for dye.
6) Spend some quality time to TLC the hell out of the physics engine so we can have proper jumping puzzles or some such and possible other fun (gliders, rework of mounts etc) Basically give me GW2's mount/physics)

Ah, also, unify all the different currencies somewhat; Allow us to purchase a generic currency with all our hunt seals or beast tribe quests or whatever to buy generic but useful and relevant gear. Think how grand company stuff works, but all the way to level cap. (actually just being able to trade for GC seals and trade in unwanted tokens/currency for them would be ideal)

That would probably be the case if it ever happens, because it also has to do with how the gear textures were designed. They would have to retroactively change the items of the past to enable this... Maybe it would be work for the 2021 intern? :P
