Hello!
Overall I am pretty much enjoying ffxiv, it is not the only MMO i play at present but it certainly is one I hope to play for many years to come) This will be long errr but its because I do enjoy and like the game that I care enough to try and improve it...at least how I see it
!
This is simply my personal opinion on things and am leaving it here for SE, to hopefully read and consider. Some points are small in scale but I still want to mention all as each item imo makes life in ffxiv more fun, smooth and fluid.
Housing:
- all items should be dyeable, fountains to furniture, tree leaves...to rocks and rugs..picture frames, clocks....hotubs....everything
-at the very least partitions, pillars, ceiling, and all that icky brown baseboard and support pillars needs to be customizable with dye. way too much brown.in gear and housing
-addition of neutral wall and flooring that also is dyeable
- remove indoor and outdoor restrictions other then obvious things like the stable, and the garden.
no reason at all cannon, fountains, ponds,plants, rocks, stepping stones shouldnt be able to be used indoor for design, as well as anything indoor should be able to go outside. Let US create and decide what we want our homes to look like Oo....in a modern MMO scaling when indoors should not be an issue in fact we should already have ability to resize any item to suit our taste.
-remove 1/estate restrictions
- incorporate a new UI to include Rifts complexity so that we can use building block items to actually build things. Some premade furniture is great, but every single thing is too simplistic and limiting, and requires absolutely no player creativity. Also need to be able to manipulate, bury, raise, lower, suspend , partially hide items to attain unique results all directional and placement options plz.
** I realize this would be alot of work but in the end housing could be engaging and unique. ** there is pretty much 0 creativity in anyones home no matter what "combos" they use it simply cant compare to what should be allowed/possible with building block materials option. It feels very basic atm, please consider adopting a far more creative design.
-all local decorations/flora etc should be available thats already preseent in each ward.
- item limits inside and outdoors for ALL home sizes needs to be doubled at least. (in the future IF se can afford to improve server capacity doubling physical yard space for all homes would be nice they are pretty tight imo. ( a complete redesign of lots probably wont happen I know but never hurts to ask)
-many more small homes available to heavy populated servers
- need a realistic way to sell a home to another player asap. . this should have been ingame day 1 of housing. IF paranoia over the rmt (that will never go away btw)...then at the very least allow players to resell plots BACK TO GAME NPC ..and no,not for 1/1000th of iinitial cost like every other npc item lol
-ability to add lights around windows, roof eve, into bushes and trees and indoor as well
- items to add sparkle and glow to any item indoor or out of various colors and intensities
- ability to change terrain of yard
-ability to preview large view of furniture at MB
-ability to preview with any dye on furniture/gear at MB
-remove interaction required from lights, fountains ,etc...everything should be active/lit/spewing water/projecting ...etc at all times or at least auto activate every couple min for a few min at a time.
- auto open fc /personal home front door (auto zone) when entering and leaving if permissions open/are a member
General:
-auto updating of MB purchasing so that screens dont need to be reopened constantly after each purchase Oo
-chocobo out + DF queue needs to happen please
- ability to break party with chocobo when in towns
- inability to summon a chocobo + minion pets at the same trime also too restricting
-ability to dye all gear, most current to oldest, from green dungeon gear to all event gear. Very standard option for a modern mmo. again to me theres too many restrictions/limitations. and NOT needing a million gil item to do so.
-reatiner venture...far far less fish, in fact remove the single fish or hides please and up the rate of dyes, glamour weapons....somewhat useful items pretty please Oo
-addition of a BRIGHT bold red dye. the current red metallic is muted and almost crimson on alot of gear.
-remove heavy from chocobo riding
- addition of a few shoes/boots with a high heel (doesnt have to be stilletto!...but somewhat higher, very few are feminine... (very personal opinion I know but would love some footwear like that ....dyaeable too btw!)
-improve credit for solo participation in hunts (i personally like the groups and 99% of time choose that option but for those that dont get invited its simply not right to limit credit to a party
- replace daily fate requirement for daily hunts with 2 B ranks instead (same 10 reward but would simply speed up the daily to a reasonable time frame)
-all current content on DF upon release...too much gating (many wont agree but thats ok its simply my opinion)
- work on some of the mount animation, the horses seem very stiff and choppy as an example
-addition of another tab for account/server shared macros for use by all characters/server
-addition of very long hair styles ie/ waist length
- ability to UNtrack any quest at anytime plz
- miners/botonists should be immune to aoe damage from other players fighting. orrrrr nodes should never diappear if interrupted.
- option to choose " auto join/sync fates" or " manual join"
- aoe limit breaks should auto activate around current target not need to be placed.
-character limit forum post removal
