Thread: 3.0 Quality of Life Suggestions

Or are these icons gonna be like an intern project or something? If that's the case, then by all means... I want to see a lalafell icon!

Right, because artists are TOTALLY the same thing as programmers. Different skill sets dude!

For free company crests, we're planning to add missing class and job icons in Patch 3.1. We're also looking into other crest designs such as using minions as a crest. We’d love to hear what kind of crest designs you would like to see added in-game!

Additionally, while we haven't finalized the details yet, we're currently looking into ways to improve ease of using frequently used teleport locations.

Thanks, but I think spending the limited resources in any of the suggestions in the OP would be way way WAY more important in improving the QoL in the game than adding extra FC icons.

I'd quite like to use the ones from the houses of Ishgard, though I understand that you may keep them locked for lore reasons...

I also completely agree with the guy asking for customisable map icon colours. Such a small change and really, really critical to some of us; I could make it easier on myself by switching from Maelstrom to Flames for better colour contrast but that's an actual gameplay imbalance caused by a trivial interface decision. I'm tired of letting my PVP team down just because I can't easily differentiate the colours on the map. My previous topic on it was here: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...ompany-Colours

And another thing I'd really like is some way to upload (and download) configuration settings and gearsets from the server on the login screen, a feature FFXI had. It doesn't have to be in real time or automatic. I play on PS4 and live in constant terror that I will lose my settings since there's no way to back them up aside from a full system backup, which takes hours and isn't always reliable. It also makes it annoying to switch between game clients, which ultimately means I'm spending less money on the game

I'm more concerned that my FC crest is teeny-tiny on my shield. The house knights of Ishgard get big crests on their shields, why can't I?

For the easy of frequently used Teleports, might I suggest Macro commands? So something like /teleport or /tport *name of teleport destination*

Could you add a 'report as spam' option to the pop-up context menu when you right click a player's name in the chat log?

I think I can say, without fear of contradiction, this would be an extremely popular QoL addition.

You already can.
