What part of the game do you want to see the most improvement from EW to DT?

[Rein_eon_Osborne]

Hoo boi, a lot.

Character

1. Improve the Character Status window. Don't just show me 2399 Crit. That doesn't tell me anything. Show me the actually useful information: 26% Critical Chance & 161% Critical Damage.
2. Give our characters an actual finger instead of block of tofus pls >,>

Gameplay

1. Let my spell go off even if my main target dies before my spellcast is finished at where the mob's dying. That would at least let me cleave the other surrounding enemies with my AoE.
2. Hire more job designers. Four brains for 19, and soon to be 21 jobs won’t cut it.
3. By proxy after that previous point is fulfilled, diversify the jobs instead of turning everything into "build gauge, then spend"-design space.
4. Please, get an experienced healer designer that knows how to make healer job for players who wants to play a healer, not to coax non-healer mains to play healer.
5. Remove 2 minute meta. Roll back to plethora of 15, 20, 30, 60, and 90 timers.
6. Make Alliance Raids possessing the bite of the good old Ivalice/NieR raids. They're optional contents. IMHO it's okay to make them more punishing than your braindead MSQ duties since they're not required.
7. Make capstone dungeon give 1 guaranteed drop for a role you’ve chosen to queue in as. If they're so worried about having the content ‘dying’ then they could also make this a feature only for synced run on top of having the existing roulette. I don’t care. Just don’t make me run lv60 HW dungeon 90+ times without seeing the piece I want dropping.
8. More levequest allowance. Reason: 15,000 levequest needed to clear all levequest achievement, meaning 3,850 days to get the needed allowances to clear everything. Am I expected to play for 11 years to get all these done if I just start today hypothetically? Lmao.

Glamour

1. Remove glamouring role restriction.
2. More pieces that show necklace, bracelet, and ring slots. Or better yet, unlock these on older gears. Maybe make them dyeable pieces too.
3. On top of having 2nd dye channel, please make more previously undyeable items dyeable!
4. Unlock the genderlocks on gears like Neo-Ishgardian & good amount of NieR pieces.
5. More Glamour Dresser space.
6. More Glamour Plate slots. Preferably enough to let me make 1 plate for each existing jobs.
7. Make some sort of ‘dye bag’ in similar fashion as where we store our shards/crystals/clusters. Feels odd when I need change certain glam plate on another home world but I can’t access my dyes unless I bring all of them around with me.
8. Obligatory MORE DYES. We need some good, more purples!!
9. Please for the love of the Twelve, make eye recoloring an Aesthetician feature. I don't care if you have to raise the gil cost.
10. Allow glamour dresser to ‘record’ more than just 1 dye. Today we need to dye the physical item before putting in the piece. What if we can dye the pieces inside the dresser with 2 colors so it will ‘save’ these two colors?

Social

1. Blacklist should remove the blacklisted from the blacklister’s perspective for good. I understand if they make an exception to cases when both sides are pulled into the same duties though.
2. In the event where first point was fulfilled, put a distinctive marker (or better, right click to see previous name) over the players who changes their name just recently within our friend list so I don't need to think about 69 hypothetical situations of "When did I met this fella..."
3. Let me whisper another player in duties.

UI

1. Allow us to set cursor memory. Why do every Yes/No confirmation are defaulted to "No"?
2. Improve the Duty Finder UI. Don’t make me wait 6m as a tank despite telling me it’s Tank in Need when switching to healer in this case would 90% of time insta-pop the roulette.
3. Merge the Dawntrail lv100 dungeon roulette with the older expac’s capstone dungeon roulette (Make it 50/60/70/80/90/100 dungeon roulette, or just “Capstone Dungeon”). Today’s lv90 dungeon roulette IMHO is a waste of space for something else more interesting.
4. Allow me to view housing demo timer IN-GAME.
5. Allow me to VIEW ‘expired’ retainer’s inventory/status in game.
6. Reduce loot roll timer down to 1 to 3 minutes. Maybe they can even create a setting where party lead can decide how long a loot timer's going to be so long it's reserved for premades (1 to 5 minutes as options).
7. Limit how many time a player can change their price listing for each entry per 6 hours.

Miscellaneous

1. Allow Alliance Raid duties to start anyway while backfilling members when less than 8 players didn’t commence initially. Frontlines already does this.
2. Prevent basic classes (GLD, MRD, CNJ, etc) from queueing into any duties above lv30 unless it’s a premade. PvP similarly prevents basic classes from queueing.
3. Region-wide Duty Finder.
4. Hire more functioning GMs.
5. Do something with the achievement certificate currencies? Anything more at all?
6. Allow me to interacts/talk to NPC while STAYING on top of my mount?

On top of having 2nd dye channel, please make more previously undyeable items dyeable!

Ooh yes, this. There's obviously the ability to do this, as they've done it for the Valerian gearsets (but forgot about Farlander which shares the models). A lot of the undyeable gear has a dyeable equivalent now, and particularly in recent expansions, the dyeable version existed first.

- (Content) More focus on social interaction.

This went out the window with the invention of Discord and bots. Everything social has been pretty much reduced to spreadsheets and waiting for a discord ping. Even the aspects of sharing information with your friends are covered by looking on a wiki or IGN. I don't know how they can create more social interaction that Discord won't monopolize with bots and pings. Like I guess some people would still view hunt trains as social interaction but I don't. Maybe I'm the odd ball here but "Just join the discord" isn't social engagement to me.

[Palladiamors]

I honestly don't know. I wish I did, I wish I had some answer that would return my love of the game but I don't. Too much water under the bridge maybe, or maybe the game has just shifted out from under me, I dunno.

And that seems like a fitting final post. Sub runs out today and I don't know if I'm going to buy Dawntrail or not. I'll be watching the job action demonstration in some vain hope of something striking a cord but it's lights out for now.

So for anyone who reads this, I wish you the best. Ciao!

- Reworked/Overhauled Gearing System as a Whole they could make it so that Weapons/Armors etc have a Separate Leveling system lets say if you get a Weapon or Armor to lvl 10 and you go talk to gerolt he gives you an upgrade Quest for weapons and armors once you complete it it raises the level cap of it and changes appearance of the armor and the Weapon according to Class you have equipped
-FC House WorkShop to be available for everyone even if someone isnt in an FC they should make it so that as long as you own Any Kind of House that would come with a WorkShop
-Sub Class System
-increased Tome Cap either to 4K or 6K
-Increased weekly Tome Cap to either 900 or 1.8K
-Increased tome rewards from Dungeons etc if something gives 80/50 they should make it so that it gives 240/150 instead and for the Rouls they should make it so that it gives 1500/450 from 1 Full run of all rouls
-Overhauled/reworked/Better Relic System including Relic Armor Tied to the First thing i mentioned
-Better/Reworked/overhauled Combat System
-Reworked ilvl system
-Reworked character Stats
-npc Trials
-npc 8-man Raids
-npc Extreme Trials
-npc Savages
-npc ultimates
These last 5 are prob what are gonna piss people off big time before people get pissed off i will explain why those last 5 essentially what they could do is to make separate tabs in the Duty support section of the game and put those in there if they do it that way then it would be available for those who dont want to do them with other players

Bring back the Diadem/Restoration. I want to see Ala Mhigo and Garlmald next. Would be cute if they opened up the doors to the main parts of Ala Mhigo, and added a housing district to bring it on par with the rest of the city states in Eorzea.

I want Garlmald to be the sequel to that. It could tie all of the restorations together. Doma, Ishgard, and Ala Mhigo. Watching Doma and Ala Mhigo learn to help Garlmald, and overcome traumatic scars would be an interesting plot point for restorations.

Garlmald would make an excellent Enclave in the vein that Doma was used for dumping excessive materials in our inventory. I’m not saying no to a housing ward, but unlike Ala Mhigo, Garlmald is in no state to add housing for a long time. As much as I want a magitek housing ward.

Anyway, I think that these restorations were a fun part of the game, and that they brought the community together in a similar way to Eureka/Bozja did, but in a way that was less about combat, and more about coming together to build up the realm. I want to see it again.

Turn DRK to DPS. I've been forced to play a role I highly dislike thanks to Yoshida and his stupid decisions and ego.


"GO PLAY ANOTHER DPS CLASS, THERE ARE PLENTY"

I don't care, I like DRK, I always played and mained DRK, DRK in plentyful of other places is a DPS, that Yoshida in his grandeur, decided to change it for FFXIV, it isn't my problem.

[Rekh]

Open world battle content.

[NekoMataMata]

It's hard to say because I have to be reasonable about what I want and expect, otherwise I'll be very doomy when DT releases.

Really hoping for a lot more with the graphic update, like improved character customization. I don't just want more options, but I want them to expand existing options such as height or tail length. Really just give people ways to actually be genuinely unique without having to resort to mods.

They did make it a DPS! They just called it reaper.
