Wishlist for new UI enhancements after announcements

[Kolsykol]

Please add a option for placing the most basic combos onto a single button like how it works in PVP for PVE

example: Fast Blade->Riot Blade->Rage of Halone


We have a lot of People
who for one reason or another have injured their hands and want to play this game to the fullest. For the sake of those players: I humbly ask you make this happen. Thank you

Problem with these things is that they work more or less like addons that make fights easier, they make people feel compelled to use it because it makes things easier.
You wouldn't be wrong to say that no one is forced to use it, but that's not actually how things work in practice.

I wouldn't have an issue with it in the future if the Jobs became more complex and the buttons were replaced with new skills that added more interest.
But adding it right now with how the Jobs play currently I'd be totally against and I do think it'd be too much.
I think it's a really bad idea to add things that makes people feel like they're handicapping themselves for not using it to deal with people having injuries or disabilities.
I don't think that people who don't have those issues should feel compelled to use the options for people who do but that's the reality of what would happen.

-Death recap for savage/ult

-Audio alerts

-AoE colour adjustment

-Bigger CD numbers on buttons and party list

-Text bubbles

-A better minimalist UI

-Rather than a damage meter you can see during content, the option to tally up your damage (and ONLY your damage) at the end of a fight and receive a star rating or something

-Hats for the limited races

-XYZ gizmo for housing

If all of these were available ingame (afaik they wouldnt affect content that much) most of the modding that isnt horny would probably stop

This is too crazy and won't happen, but I think it'd be rly cool to get a Devil May Cry styled combo score system in a MMO.
Basically to reward high uptime and make crits give a bigger bump in it and have the music get more intense the higher you get, purely for fun.
It's one of my favorite things about the DMC games.
( Forced downtime would pause the combo meter ).

Maybe not, we already know that the limit break system takes in account skilled play and such- I do think you'd have to more checks to allow the system to more accurately gauge you.. but in such a situation it might be two birds one stone like thing. Take what already exists, improve it, associate it to a personal gauge of skill. Getting hit by dodge-able stuff being bad, overcure-ing less good than perfect value cures, etc.

It totally would still take some time to make, but it might not be ground zero type situation - and would help avoid something as blatant as "what's your deeps scrub?". Cause you'd be like... uh... I'm in the "awesome bracket...?". (Of which situation you could still lie or tell them to go pound sand, and the TOS could make it reportable to require you to give your personal ranking to players in order to join groups). A super powered parser would still be used by some groups, but given a detailed enough self rating system I think many who are not trying to be hyper bleeding edge / watching their neighbor would be okay with such a system (and may lightly improve the quality of players as each player has a personal encouragement). Enough detail being like after content it might have suggestions, what your best combo set was, highest hitter, etc, or tell you how you miffed lol.

They probably also have some in house tools to determine the numbers, and these might be fleshed out even further making the tools better for devs but then also hooking some of those tools up into the game itself for players- so players might see what the best opener is, and such (like what gear, buffs, and opener caused the biggest boom), what's the most common rotation, etc. All anonymously reported of course, just a big library of info.

I'm surprised there isn't a customizable plugin for this already, such that one can easily track performance according to what matters most to them.

Certainly wouldn't mind seeing something like that in the main game, either, so long as it didn't much become a basis for rewards(' variance), etc.

Things I would like.

Official Nudity option

If SE ever came out and openly said they cut out a dungeon or something for chat bubbles, that'd be the day I unsub and go find something else to play. Game already suffers from content drought issues as it is. Just look at the mess EW has been already.

I highly, highly doubt it would happen like that. First, programming the UI and making the dungeons would require completely different skill sets, and for a project like FFXIV, almost certainly be handled by different teams. Second, as the code for speech bubbles already exists for NPCs, it would likely be a simple matter of adapting it for player characters. A single experienced UI programmer could probably have that working at a basic level in an afternoon or so, longer if you want to add options such as font size or letting the player turn those bubbles on or off, as well as some time for testing and QA.

A dungeon would be orders of magnitude more expensive, as it requires brainstorming, storyboarding, planning, creation of art assets, weapon/armor models for loot, design, modeling, and animation of NPCs, building the dungeon itself, designing and programming the boss fights, and testing everything to make sure it all works. There is no way adding speech bubbles would cost as much as a dungeon.

This is about as likely as cutting out a dungeon so that they could do more short stories. Coding UI features and slapping together maps and boss mechanics for dungeons are altogether different skill sets, generally held by altogether different people.

There are plenty of examples in the game where they cut content for things that were already in the game. Trust rework being one of these things. We have been losing content every expansion. Just because something is easy or simple, SE has proven that every time they add something, they ruin something else in the process. They never have priorities straight. Doesn't help that our money is funding their NFT experimentations more than the game right now. Something that should often times be simple and easy never actually is in reality.

I'd upvote this, but I don't have a thumb available at the moment.
