Questions From Playerbase [Thread For Devs!]

[Stormfur]

System[Sound, Visual, Performance]:

I don't have a question here, but I want to commend the dev team for their consideration for those of us (like me) who have limited vision, and also those players who struggle with other visual/hearing issues. The game is much more accessible than most and it's so refreshing to see that the development team thinks about those of us who are playing with certain disabilities or other issues.


Gameplay[Actions, Class Balance, Jobs, Gear, PvP, Gathering, Crafting]:

What is being done about chat possibly returning to PVP? Right now it seems like the PVP forum is being sorely neglected in the grand scheme of things. We have a lot of suggestions to improve it, but it feels like no one is listening. Will we ever have the opportunity to earn past Feast rewards?


Character[Stats, Creation, Race, Naming, Titles]:

I, and I'm sure many others, would love to see our clan choice have an impact in the game. It seems in Stormblood when we go to Azim, we will see Au Ra in their native lands and get to learn a bit about their culture. I have a soft spot in my heart for the U Tribe in Forgotten Sands. I've never seen a Keeper of the Moon clan though.

Social[Emotes, Player Status, Cross-World, Party/Duty/Raid Finder, Chats, Free Company]:


Not much to add here, although I'd love if the devs could let us have more linkshells.

Playable Content[Dungeons, Raids, Open World, Other Instanced]:


I'd like to see more puzzle-style quests like in Palace of the Dead. Please no jumping puzzles though. They are nearly impossible for those of us with no depth perception

Glamour:

I really hope Samurai gets some iconic armor rather than just cloth! (although the cloth looks great too!)

Housing[Furniture, Interior, Exterior, Market]:

I'd love to see more travel-themed artifacts -- items that we bring back from various places we've traveled as a reflection of the culture. Like the oriental altar that can be crafted or the items you can buy from various beast tribes. That stuff is GREAT! As for other housing ideas, I'd love to see weeping willow trees added.

Other[Mounts, Minions, Companions]:

Tiger mount and minion please - bonus points if we can possibly get one that looks like the elemental tiger in diadem!


Outside Game[Forum, Lodestone, Live Letter, Fanfest, Events, Merchandise]:

Not much to say here since I've never been to one! Thank you for your consideration, developers!

Social[Emotes, Player Status, Cross-World, Party/Duty/Raid Finder, Chats, Free Company]:

Will the emotes that our squadron does during training be made available to us? Follow up question, what about the pee-dance emote that we see in Limsa and during the halloween event?

gm's see every bit of info in the chat logs. from my experience no gm unfairly suspends people when being harassed, more so when nicely asking them to stop.
your friend may have been suspended over breaking a tos rule not tied to the situation.

Eh, I'm not 100% with you here. The ability to ask for a review of a GM call should be in place. GMs are people and people can misread or miss things.

I would be running into privacy issues if I detailed why you are wrong. I also was there seeing it happening. Ill say this though, in this situation they fell short in understanding context.

It is well known they have customer service issues and was even publicly viewed recently in a Q and A. So I am sticking with my question about an appeal process when they drop the ball like this situation.

[Magic-Mal]

Great idea for a thread. Question to you Magic-Mal, do you intend to compile all questions into the opening post for clarity? I think if this thread becomes popular it would be a good way to avoid duplicate questions and make it easier for SE staff to read.

That's a good idea! I'll get on that!

Glamour

Will there be a system that allows someone to save a glamour set for each individual class rather than shared across the board, like for example the tank classes?

Since everyone's likely going to get the obvious out of the way...

Character[Stats, Creation, Race, Naming, Titles]:

Do you have any plans to implement the following two things?
- Buff and debuff timers visible on party status bar. As it is now, you can only see timers by focus targeting or hard targeting party members.
- Ability to adjust buff priority on party status bar. Right now, the priority appears to be party defensive CDs > stance buffs > everything else. If there were an option to move, say, Berserk to the front in priority, it'd be a major quality of life change for Bards looking to prevent Pacification through Warden's Paean. As it is now, other buffs usually shove Berserk out of visible range on the party buff bar, and many top Bards have now taken to using third party programs to call out when Warriors activate Berserk without a macro, so that constantly hard targeting the Warrior to check if they're using the buff isn't necessary. I'm sure such an adjustment would help Astrologians too, throwing their offensive cards on whoever has their buffs up.

Playable Content[Dungeons, Raids, Open World, Other Instanced]:

One of the more common observations is that Azys Lla is that... It's quite barren a zone, even though it is the largest of all of the Heavensward zones. Perhaps it is intentionally designed that way to promote the rather desolate feel to it, but I have to wonder... Was Azys Lla originally designed with other content in mind? If so, would you be willing to tell us about what other content was originally planned for that zone, and do you have any plans to revisit them at some point?

Gameplay[Actions, Class Balance, Jobs, Gear, PvP, Gathering, Crafting]:

The limit break action has been losing its punch lately in the face of recent content. many actions are often bordeline useless or scripted into the fight, which sort of deflates its purpose as a powerful attack the party can decide to use. will there be adjustments on the 3 limit breaks' action and effectiveness?

Playable Content[Dungeons, Raids, Open World, Other Instanced]:

The high level content has seen a dearth of hard enrages, causing people to take checks on dps to an extreme(skip soar, healer dps, etc.) will fights be adjusted to help challenge the role of tanks and healers more directly?


Other[Mounts, Minions, Companions]:

One fondly remembered feature in 1.0 was the path companion, a npc of your choosing that shared the trials and tribulations with their own personality and attitude. Will Path Companions be reappearing in Stormblood?

[Magic-Mal]

Thank you for the questions guys! I'm going through with Reinha's idea and putting each question in the original post under their category to keep it all neat.

[Vivi_Bushido]

Are there any plans to remove the character limitations on the forums?

[Daranion]

Just a friendly bump to be edited with my questions later
