Thread: 3.0 Quality of Life Suggestions

[QUOTE=GalkaBikini;3213876]
1.) Low, Mid, and High Level Roulettes. I like this idea

2.) Extreme Trial Roulette. Yuck...

6.) Make FATE areas bigger. YES
Especially in the new areas. Seems like people love to run out and chase mobs down not realizing they are actually out of the fate.

7.) When in a pre-made party of any size, show who in your party has or has not readied for duty when the queue has popped, just like the ready check window does. YES

9.) Add “Report Cheating” function.
I can see people abusing this. But it would be nice to report all the BLM gil sellers in Ul'dah

10.) When placing an item for sale on your retainer that you are already selling one of, make the default price the same.
OMG YES

11.) As long as your FC member rank allows you to remove items from the Company Chest, count the chest contents when using the “search for item” function.
Not a bad idea.

12.) Add a Company Chest to Ishgard.
Yes

13.) Enable the use of crafting materials straight from our retainers without having to put the items in our inventory.
OMFG YES... I would seriously ship my pants (KMart reference). "Oh I need this item, and that item, and they are here, there, over here. Oh now I need to go gather some of these." /facepalm

14.) Along with the current numerical progress of synthesis, also show it as a percentage.
Not sure why this would be helpful

18.) Let us train our chocobos from the stable whether our chocobo is stabled, summoned, or neither.
Yes. Some of us don't have a house/stable.

19.) Allow placement of holiday furniture and items into the Armoire, or add a new separate piece of furniture for it.
Yes

20.) Allow Relic weapons to be placed in the Armoire.
Yes, all of them. Because they are useful now. :P

22.) Place the Currency Tab once again on the Character Sheet, while moving the Reputation Tab instead.
Yes. I do not like the new currency tab.

23.) Clickable URLs. I feel that this could already be coming when add-ons arrive, but it sure would be nice.
Meh, copy paste. Move on.


28.) Add the /bgm command.
Yes

New Suggestions:
1) Automatically set focus to the search box when initially accessing the market board. I can't count how many items I opened it and started typing and it was in my chat box.
2) Make a teleport location in the Ishgard Ather to exit to Coerthas Western. Every other city has an exit to all the zones. Ishgard has Coerthas Central only?

Possible, but on the other hand, making it impossible to summon pet!chocobo in instances might mean they'd have to recode the pet system in order to allow carbie/egis/fairies to be summoned in instances =/

Plus, since you can only have one pet out atm, it would mean ACN, SCH and SMN would have to choose between their class/job pet and the chocobo... Unless they recoded the entire system anyway. (Plus issues with healing them, since you can only target your own pet via party list, not to mention fairies only heal party members (and themselves) unless manually directed, so they wouldn't auto-heal chocobos either.

But it'd also mean you could run around with a party of 16 in effect. Potentially, provided they recode it so the ACN tree can have both chocobos and pets, you could go with a full ACN-based party and have an effective party of 24. Only for open-world stuff, of course, but it would throw any balance left in the game completely out of whack. While levelling (alt classes), you'd be able to do leves significantly higher than your own level, and while you wouldn't be able to hand them in on your low-level class, you'd still get the exp on the class that actually did the leve, not the one handing it in. Currently, I'm able to do leves 5-10 levels higher than my own with just a party of two (me and a friend or me and a chocobo), a little depending on class. And unlike Fates, leve exp isn't down-scaled if you're of a lower level when doing it, only if you're a higher level.

Sure, all of those issues could probably be solved with a lot of tinkering and re-doing various kinds of systems... but to me it just seems like taking on a lot of work unneccessarily.

Bottom line: I'd love if they fixed the whole chocobo-is-a-party-member issue with queueing and GC leves, but I'm not sure making it a pet would be the best way to do it. =)

I can sort of see why, though (apart from the whole system of "remove all buffs except for tank stance on level synch"). If you're a 50+ ACN-based job, you have a lot more aetherflow stacks than you would have if you got level synched to 17 (lowest for a dungeon, I think). In order to correct the number of stacks, the game would effectly have to re-apply the buff on level synch. Which could be tricky to code if you also take into consideration the possibility of going into instance/fate and only having to level synch down a few levels, say from 55 down to 52 for Dusk Vigil, while having 1 aetherflow stack left. If the game is simply coded to go "Are there Aetherflow stacks before level synch? If yes, reapply Aetherflow", you'd get two free Aetherflows ^^;

If they change the system to reset all cooldowns, they'd definitely have to do a separate system for dungeons (and other instances, probably), since it'd open up a lot of possibilities of "cheating the system" if it also applied to Fate level synch. (E.g. "Cast Benediction, un-synch, level-synch, Cast Benediction")

It's an annoyance, yeah =/ But I guess the best option is to not use Aetherflow just before entering an instance/roulette.
(And yes, my secondary job is Scholar, so I know how annoying it can be.)

It would be great if we could see in Linkshell player list when a player logged in the last time at this time its very difficult to sort out inactive members.
