Done- Can't beat Shadowbringer quest playing as other Scions, done with game

[ASkellington]

I don't like these quests honestly. I hate them, but rather than see them removed, I'd like to see them improve. My feedback for role quests is simple: allow me to button map the given abilities as I see fit on my bar.

I use muscle memory for my abilities across all my classes and the role quests, depending on which person I play with, destroys that and gives me more frustration than I'd like.

For me, and possibly others this one fix would make us enjoy them a bit more.

Some of them are boring but what I don't like the most is not being able to move the skills around

I don't think it matters much whether you stay or leave, there are 3000 - 4000 queues of people trying to login.

2999-3999 now though!



Honestly, my problem with those missions that you play as someone else are boring (except for one new one which is a lot different). They can't make the characters complex because you have 5 minutes to learn and play them. Playing on a controller and not being able to move stuff sucks too....but it's 5 minutes... it's easy enough to suck it up. It's a (somewhat) "neat" way to introduce you to some new jobs.

It's a little weird that OP was "just giving feedback" but came back to respond to everyone. Either you're just giving feedback, or you're looking for a conversation, and you don't just "give feedback" on forums, forums are for conversations. They're likely looking for everyone to agree with them, and I'm sure that a lot of people would agree that they don't like those, but not because they're difficult.

Hm, it's funny because the lack of skill diversity is probably to make it easier to pick up. I enjoy the immersion and the feeling that your allies contribute, but I understand people's reasons. That it's enough to quit the game however just reads as a tantrum.

I'm not saying you can't dislike the roleplay quests, but are they really that bad? I have never had any issue on any of them, even when its a job I don't like playing normally. I just do what is needed to finish the content.

You can't on the controller. Not everyone plays on the PC.

They recently changed it for both controller and keyboard, you can now rearrange the bars.

It still don't like these missions. I main dragoon, I have zero interest in playing one button plus occasionally two more Estinien. I immensely enjoy doing stuff together with the NPCs and has Estinien join me whenever available but not playing as them.
I get that this means easy development because instead of tuning for all jobs they only have to tune for one. I still find the detrimental to my enjoyment of the game

It's not about rearranging. It's about not being able to check the tooltips easily.
Someone from another post pointed out that you can use the virtual mouse if you don't have a physical one, but the virtual mouse itself is extremely clunky on the controller.
I agree that SE should just stop making these quests that you play as NPCs. I feel like I'm wasting time reading some skills that I'll never ever use again in the whole game.
I want to play as my WoL, not Y'shtola or other random NPCs.

I agree that I don't particularly like these solo duties. Same as you, I want to play my character and not a NPC. But they aren't frequent enough to be a deterrent from enjoying the rest of the game.

You're the first one I've met who's complained that having a controller is a problem when doing these duties. If other controller players have been successful with these encounters since they were first introduced in Stormblood, it seems like reaching out to other controller players for tips on how to approach them would be a good idea.
