Compilation of UI/Game Suggestions for a better FFXIV

[Ravno]

Hi,
English is not my native language so excuse me if my writing is kinda bad.

I have few ui/gameplay suggestions, some are mine, some have already be posted here.


1- Holding Shift while trade item between two char should remove the confirmation button and exchange the whole stack.

Yeah, trade item is slow and it's boring as hell to click on the confirmation button each time. I don't think a "Hold shift no confirmation" require a lot of work and i will greatly appreciate this.

2- Increase the trade windows from 5 items to 10.

Five items are not enough.

3- Search on inventory/retainers should work on chat linked items too.
On the last patch you add this feature nearly everywhere, but not on the items linked on the chat.

4- Add a /random command.

For RP purpose.

5- Add a RP tag near the name.

Already posted but worth mentioning

6- Allow us to buy multiple stack from the market board.

I don't say you should allow to buy single items from stack (i think it could be nice but it's worth a debate) but you should definitivly allow us to buy multiple stack from the marketboard.
Like when you want to buy 30 items and they are only availiable one by one.

On the market board, we should have a popup windows where we write how many items we can buy, if that number is not availiable (exemple : there is a 1,1,5,10 stack posted and we order 8 items) the popup will tell us the total price for the nearest lower number (in my exemple : 8 items are not availiable, 7 items will cost you xxx gils, yes/no).

7- Items who are not used and not binded to your character should stack.

It will be an huge improvement for crafter.


8- Add a Tackle box for fishers

Already posted but worth it.

9- I want to put my retainers as NPC in my house.

It's so sad to have to use a bell, it could be a nice addition in our house.

10- Add right click option on friend list to add access and differents levels of rights on your house. Like Access to the house, move your furniture, add furniture ...

11- Add "locks" on desynth

The desynth system should be rewrited, the current system when you loose 0.01 desynth when you use desynth from an other job is annoying as hell.
And there is no point in it, because you can avoid the loss using a 1-1-1 rotation. So why i talk about it ? Because it's annoying as hell, and it's a bad design.
Instead of this, you should have a lock icon near each desynth class. A class with a lock on can go up, but not down. And you're total desynth can't be over 300, so if you hit that score and you need to go over it, you will have to remove one of your lock.

I don't see the point of forcing player to buy low level items from other desynth class and do a "rotation desynth" each time they want to desynth something by fear they could loss desynth level. That's not fun.

12- Training dummy should explode (and quickly respown) after they receive a number of damage.
That could be a nice way to compare rotation and stuff without having to use any parser or forbiden 3thd party tools.

13- Allow quick synthesis on one star items.
You should make a quest that unlock quick synthesis on one star items that's available to hight-end crafter.

14- Add a quick desynth
Something a little like quick synthesis, when you have 100% chance of desynth, add a checkbox to desynth all items with the same name in your inventory (and only items who are not binded, no sb, no materias).

15- You should add a way to get a little more shards for hight level gatherer.

On each patch, you increase the number of shards needed for crafting an item, it would be nice if one star/two star gatherer had a way to get a little more of them.

I'd add to that:

• Adding 3X4 box hotbars; this would help those of us using MMO mice.
  
• Adding more hotbars
  
• Custom length hotbars (more buttons)
  
• Option to sync all character UIs to a main character on the account
  
• Separate DoH UI, to optimize the position and scale of hotbars for this very different activity

[Warlyx]

i just want power auras for procs , or way to track procs /buffs /debuffs...

[Ravno]

I'd add to that:

• Option to sync all character UIs to a main character on the account

You can do that with a copy paste of some files in C:\Users\XXX\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn
Not really user friendly but doable.

You are right about hotbars.
I have read on a recent live letter than addons interface is still in development, i don't think it will be something that big (like wow lua interface) but at least we can expect to redesign hotbars.

Controller:

1. When the map is on the screen and you teleport to another zone, the map is selected by default upon zoning in so that when you try to use the camera analog stick, the map moves instead of the camera. When doing hunts I encounter this issue repeatedly.

2. Please add an option to lock the map and additional chat windows to the UI so that they can't be accidentally cleared when selected.

Signs displaying in the Mob List!

4- Add a /random command.

For RP purpose.

What action would /random do?

7- Items who are not used and not binded to your character should stack.

It will be an huge improvement for crafter.

I don't see this one happening, it can be a bit complex to automatically unstack equipments if their individual value change, plus each equipment can hold a different color value without being bound.

10- Add right click option on friend list to add access and differents levels of rights on your house. Like Access to the house, move your furniture, add furniture ...

They are planning to add access settings for house, but moving/adding furniture I don't see it happening other than (probably) people you share an eternal bond with (aka married).

12- Training dummy should explode (and quickly respown) after they receive a number of damage.

What's the point of this one? ATM you can drain the HP of training dummies with two or three hits, if it dies it will be harder to check a full rotation.

14- Add a quick desynth

Don't quote me on this, but I think that got a dev response short after desynth came out, I believe they said they had no plans to add a quick desynth feature at the moment.

[Nikita]

"Delete all read messages" option for the mail moogle.

[Ravno]

What action would /random do?

Show a random number between 1 to 100, visible for people around (or maybe in party). It's useful when you do role-playing event.

What's the point of this one? ATM you can drain the HP of training dummies with two or three hits, if it dies it will be harder to check a full rotation.

Give the dummy enough HP to stay "alive" for at least around 5 minutes of sustained damage. When he got no Hp, he explode and respown 5 second later.
That way, you can use a simple chronometer and check if you can get dps improvement with alternative rotation or equipment.
It's not my best suggestion but i dont think it's hard to do and it could be useful.
