Thread: Quality of Life Thread [Patch 4.2 and beyond]

-option to hide world tags while in a duty? i can't understand why people need to know what world you're from while in a duty, it's kind of irrelevant. and i'm also having trouble reading player text if there's a lot of chatter. either that or have the ability to make the player name a different colour from player text itself.
-being able to remove items from a retainer with the duty countdown ticking.
-is there an option to mute macro noises specifically? if not, i would Love that.
-oh yeah, and the option to have different inventory sizes? i miss my 5x5 ;_;

fix:

He was also saying that its very hard to roll back to the old UI due to its coding or something technical.

BS, lol

Now what SHOULD be increase is the number of actual glamor plates. Like lol we can only have 10 outfits across all of our jobs? I was hoping it'd be 10 PER job.

Let me guess, you only have 1 or 2 jobs at max level? You are playing wrong only having 1 job at max level. How does it feel to be told that? You are doing the same thing making a statement like you did. If you play all jobs and take glam seriously, 200 items is not enough, not by a long shot.

If this game was alt friendly, did not require all the MSQ gating, and had 27 slots for characters, sure you be correct, but this is not wow.

See how silly a statement that is? Yours was just as silly.

yup, +1

omg if I listed every QOL I wanted...

Chocobos and mounts
- Starting leves without having to dismount
- Use a variety of items without needing to dismount
- Stop showing me the same warning when I'm training other people's chocobos!
Instead of krakka I like to give Mimett Groud because they're much cheaper, but every.single.training. has a warning that it won't affect the other person's favorite food. I'm well aware! I certainly don't need to be reminded for each one when I'm training 12 chocobos! At least make it once per stall session.
- Chocobo Barding "try on"


Items
- Seeing full inventory in expanded
- Minion/mount/barding search. While they're searchable as items, they're not searchable once claimed.
- Alts automatically in mail list
-An option to stop asking me if I want to use aetheryte tickets. I get some people might want to pick and choose because they don't have many, but I want the ability to tell it to always assume I want to use my aetheryte tickets.
-Armoire-capable, glamour-dress-storable, calamity salvager buyable in item descriptions

Searching
- "Search by gathering" in crafting log.
- isearch to support "" search for phrases, rather than searching single words.
- partial search for auto translate
Some people know that you can start writing and press tab and it'll list out choices to autocomplete
ex: Hell (tab)-> Hell's Lid = 4th choice
However this doesn't work for partial or phrase searching!
So using "Fractal" currently doesn't the "The Fractal Continuum" as a choice. A person using the auto-complete for auto-translate has to use:
The (tab)-> go down to choice 57.
-Free company searching
-Linkshell searching

Other
- Fix "turning off tooltip". Right now if someone turns off skill tooltips so that way if they accidentally hover over one they don't see a thing of text, it also turns it off in the Skills menu! That's just ridiculous. Turning it off should turn it off from hotbars, but not from the skills menu.

- Listening device. While I can pick a main display for my monitor, I can't pick a main listening device. So if I hook up a different device (like switching from a wired headset to a wireless one), I have to restart the game. Other applications either let me pick or they recognize that the other device is no longer available and automatically switch, but not FF14. FF14 only does it right when it's headphones<-> speakers, but not headphones#1<->headpones#2.

-repair all

-"next" button for potd reward claims. Diadem reward claim has it, why not potd?

-Solo queue for Diadem. I get that it's not popular content, but there ARE some people who go in it, especially for gathering. Having to get a free FC airship, and then ask 1 person to come in with you is annoying. Queuing is impossible because it tries to fill up a party. Just let us pick "undersize" to go in there solo, even if we still get sync'ed.

- Timers for "Beast tribe allowances" to actually list time for reset.

- Changing an alliance down to a party if only 1 party of the alliance has members.

- Viewing moon phases without having to look up at the moon (or rely on some 3rd party app). In some maps/weather, that's really hard.

Lodestone and things for completionists
- List of all levequests in lodestone
While there are lists online, some leves are apparently no longer ingame and it's hard to tell which ones and aren't for a completionist who wants to have all of the available ones in their completed journal - especially ever since I encountered one that people online said was no longer in game years ago, but I somehow have it despite that my character was made around stormblood launch.
- More item categories in lodestone
There's an "Other" and a "Miscellany" (which that's kind of redundant) that have everything that's not categorized.
Mount items should be in their own category (somehow SE did this for minions but not mounts)
Chocobo items should be in their own category
- In-game list of reminaing quests
Basically everything that's not: in-progress, completed, seasonal, MSQ, no longer doable in game
