Thread: Glaring issues that were NOT addressed in 2.1

I'm going to add one thing to this. While in an instance, people that are normally on your blacklist are not blocked if they are not in the same instance as you. This doesn't currently impact /tells from said people, since tells can't be sent cross-server regardless, however, if they happen to be in one of your linkshells or free companies their communications through those channels are not blocked while you are in an instance. If they are in the same instance as you such as in your party in a dungeon, however, communications through those channels are blocked in addition to through party chat as expected. This leads me to think that the way blacklist only functions to block people on the same server as you is very literal.

But those issues, as well as others, are not only frustrating, but give a feeling of unpolished/clumsy product.
A great game indeed, just not clean and al the more frustrating.

Exactly. These aren't game-breaking issues. But they are day-to-day frustrations that should and could be easily addressed with some fairly simple coding. There is no reason they can't add a section on the character menu to show our critical hit rate, or what our damage reduction % is from stats like defense and morale.

Stuff like repair armor and chocobos are like facets of the game that feel like they were implemented horribly and just ignored in 2.1. Like literally, no one uses the repair armor function at all which should be one of the benefits of having a crafter profession mastered. I would really like to see these issues addressed in 2.15 or 2.2 as they effect players on a daily basis.

5. Blacklisted players take the position of whatever player you were /r-ing with.

Annoying when gilsellers are around.

I am just saying.. unless your solely just complaining. this is the wrong sub forum for this. website feedback and suggestions, and in game bugs(Make sure you check to not submit duplicates). They really do check the bugs forum I can attest to this.

None of the stuff listed are bugs. They are mainly design/coding/implementation issues. The website feedback and suggestions forum is there for the FF14 websites, not the game itself.

I've been lazy about reporting the blacklist not working in an instance bug, because I keep forgetting to screenshot it when it happens. I also only started seeing it in 2.1, so I haven't fully researched what is causing it. It's possible that it's only occurring in Labyrinth of the Ancient runs rather than any instance, but I just have my memory to go off of at this point. I might have to conscript a friend to test it out, rather than waiting until a blacklisted person happens to chat while I'm in various instances...

The tooltip for stats not actually showing what they add or remove drives me insane. It should show more than obvious stuff...

Agree on all points.
They are not game breaking but they are frustrating and they can be greatly improved upon.

Especially the socialization part, if we're to have cross-server friends and stuff in the future (it's really what most mmorpgs have now(gw2, wow, teso will have 1 mega server so there's no "people on other servers")), they need to really work on the player interaction part, stream line it till it's as easy to use and as customizable as possible !
We're paying an online game for crying out loud, player interaction tools should be TOP.

If you use the chocobo on your level 50 he can't still xp really though I agree with everything you said.
