Small QoL Improvements

[Super_Smiley]

Here is a list of features I would like to see added in the game.

Housing: Be able to share private chambers with friends, and have a private chest that is sort of similar to the Free Company Chests that allow you to store gil.
Chocobo: Have a feature where chocobos no longer take up party slots and now is like a Pet or Turret. You can have your chocobo out while queuing for a Duty.
Disciples Of The Hand & Land: Be able to have crafting and gathering items in a separate inventory system, also have crafting and gathering gear in a separate Armoury System.
Hunts: Add a NPC that in a certain zones or all zones that tell if you there is a A or S Rank Up. Since this feature will be more accurate than what's on the web.

We can only hope FFXIV Staff sees our ideas and hopefully adds them in later patches.

Quick Synthesis: please play some sort of distinct sound when the current Quick Synth queue is finished, so I know Quick Synth is done if I'm not looking at the screen, or if I'm tabbed out.

I can listen for the 'crafting' noise (hammer bangs, etc) but that sound is repetitive, so after a while I tune it out, then forget to check my Quick Synth for way too long after it finishes.

for the UI, i wish for an

- option to expand the signal/connection/wifi icon to something like 1.0's Rx/Tx with numbers and graph and in additional to that, an option to show actual ingame ping (just shows a number no need for graphs and stuff)
- option change hotbar orientations to either vertical or horizontal as you see fit and not given preset ones

Could you ban people who outbid me in the market?

Okay in addition to my /macroicon subcommand suggestion.I have a new macro-related one. Aimed at making Transformation gearset macros easier

My suggestion is to create a set of subcommands to /gschange for the following catagories: Arms, Head, Body, Hands, Legs and Feet. Which will be used alongside the number and allow you to only equip the item in that slot

Example 1: say I played MNK and placed have the Melee AF gear in Gearset 1.

/gschange 1 Body would equip only the Melee Cyclas. But if I change the gearset do that the bodypiece if the Hawkwing Cyclas? The same macro will change to that instead.

Example 2: a example on how this works in Macros, again using MNK as an example

/gschange 1 weapon
/rrpa motion <wait.5>
/gschange 1 hands <wait.2>
/gschange 1 legs
/brpa motion <wait.10>
/gschange 1 body
/ac "Form Shift"
/gschange 1 head
/visor on

What this will do is prevent gearset bloat while still allow people to adjust their glamour without having to change the items in the macros

Hey everyone,

Dropping by to share some upcoming quality-of-life updates in the works!

Planned for Patch 3.4

• Minimap
  We'll be changing the color of north so players can easily see which way is north.
  
• Orchestrion
  A shuffle feature for the orchestrion is planned to be implemented.
  Along with this, we're also currently developing additional feature to create and play from a playlist.
  
• Stone, Sky, Sea
  The training dummies within the Stone, Sky, Sea content will be receiving a buff! Evasion attribute has been added to the dummies according to the actual content you're training for. With this change, player's accuracy will come into play when hitting the dummies.
  
• Additional Actions Window
  The level in which the additional actions can be used will be added in the additional actions window like below:
  
  
  
  
• Battle Stance and Victory Pose Emote
  We're currently working to see if players can stay unsheathed for some time after using the battle stance, or victory pose emote. If you have the auto-sheathe option turned off, then your character will stay unsheathed after executing the emote.
  
• Camera Speed
  We're planning to increase the speed in which you can move the camera using the gamepad's stick, and on keyboard.

Future possibilities

• Deep Dungeon - Palace of the Dead
  The aetherpool weapon exchanged depends on the current class / job you are using while talking to the NPC. However, this has caused situations where some players exchanged for the weapon of the job they actually did not want. We're considering to see if we can change this to prevent such situations from occurring.
  
• Duty Finder
  Currently players need to click on the Duty Finder window to check the current status of the queue; however, we'll see if it would be possible to somehow display this information without having to open additional windows.

We appreciate all your feedback, and ask that you continue to share your thoughts with us here. Please look forward to these incoming adjustments!

I hope the weapon exchange for Palace of the Dead is looked into. I made the mistake of exchanging my gear for a weapon I already had. I felt like such a moron.

We're considering to see if we can change this to prevent such situations from occurring.

I like that you can do that. You could just throw in an additional warning and confirmation check to make sure the player knows what they are agreeing to. Another option: display a list of all weapons and let the player select one.

Fantasia Potion
I understand why you have to restrict completing a Fantasia with gear equipped (too much weirdness with M/F and Race limitations).

However, could this check be moved to the *end* of the Fantasia process? Something like: "Character change could not be completed. Please log in, remove all equipment, and try again. Would you like to save current Appearance Data?"

Sometimes the most important thing about a Fantasia is knowing how your character will look in their current gear / Glamour, and the generic creation screen outfits are not very informative in this respect.

[*]Battle Stance and Victory Pose Emote
We're currently working to see if players can stay unsheathed for some time after using the battle stance, or victory pose emote. If you have the auto-sheathe option turned off, then your character will stay unsheathed after executing the emote.

It would be very nice if we could get our unsheathed /cpose as a permanent toggle. It's very annoying hitting /cpose, then moving an ilm and needing to hit it again. It would also be very nice if Battle Stance and Victory Pose ended in our toggled /cpose instead of the default stance.
