Small QoL Improvements

[Dr_Cheesesteak]

I'd just like tooltips on class icons on ppl's profiles (and anywhere else applicable) and not having to click "Hand Over" twice when turning in quest items.

Dismounting when attacking would be amazing, too. But I've come to accept that'll likely never happen since they keep dreaming of mounted combat.

But for the love of god, the plz change the first two mentioned.

Requiring explicit dismounting is a safety feature. Since you can't mount again once you're in combat, it's better to require you to tell the game "I mean to dismount now" before you attack. It's not about mounted combat.

But that would seem to be counter-intuitive to the point of attacking to dismount. We WANT to get into combat. Why would we want to mount up during combat if it was our intention to get into combat? Seems to sorta be an illogical and unnecessary failsafe.

Besides, wouldn't the "right clicking on a target" be us telling the game we want to dismount? It's just much more intuitive than having to press a shortcut on the kb or click something on the hotbar.

Someone could press an offensive action button unintentionally, dismount automatically, and then have to fight the thing they didn't mean to attack.

The current system requires you to actively indicate you would like to dismount and fight the thing.

Again, is right-clicking on a target not actively indicating you want to dismount and fight the thing?

And if they can accidentally press an offensive action button, then they can just as well accidentally press the mount/dismount button.

There really is no reasonable justification behind this design choice. It makes 0 sense. I understand the goodwilled intention behind the mechanic, but it's greatly misplaced.

Just a few small QoL improvements:

• Separate UI Elements HP, MP, TP, Buffs, Debuffs, Target Status, Focus Castbar, and Target Castbar should all have separate UI elements that can be manipulated independently.
• Tab Target Have the target icons dictate tab target order, or give us the option to choose tab target priority method. Would also be great if icons set enemy list order!

I would love to see my parameter bar items displayed vertically, either one atop the other, or side by side. Setting the length/thickness of the bars would also be nice. I remember using an addon in a prior MMO that would put my health & mana in two big vertical arcs on my left, and my target's in two big arcs on the right. It made tracking these stats during combat effortless.

I would also be nice to have an option to show these bars only if below max, and have them be hidden otherwise.

For tab targeting and target icons, I wrote a macro to approximate what you are asking for.

I would really like to see a <instance> and <world> for macros so when you call out the <pos> or <flag> you can indicate the instance and world as well

[Shougun]

I would love to see a rank up image for shared fates :3

(Like when you unlock / rank up some new content there is a title splash in the center of the screen)

Only really one QoL improvement I want. I dont know if anyone else is tired of having to redo and reup stances etc etc every time they level synch or a queue pops thats lower level than they are etc.etc.

How is this thread four years old, and still we haven't gotten separate HP/MP bars yet? I want to be able to hide that MP bar when I'm playing a job that doesn't ever interact with MP at all.

And the MCH Heat/battery gauges, dear god, please, why do these things have to be bound together and waste space between them even in simple mode?
