The conpainon app

[Pixiehawk]

The app is pratically useless, I've deleted it from my smartphone already.

Had you registered a favored aetheryte? If so, did it stay after you deleted app?

I don't think it really has any way to check. It appears to be an account-wide (all service account, all character) flag that gets set as soon as you link any character to the app for the first time. Then all your characters can register an additional favorite aetheryte destination from that point on. I tried deleting the app, and not only were my existing favorites still there, but I could create a new fourth favorite on another character.

Cool. So everyone who is saying they will never download/use should download, link, then delete app, just to get the extra discounted teleport.

I agree with the concept of this, but the one thing that bothers me is that SE will see all of these DLs and register them as "this app is great everybody is DLing it", especially since I don't think they'll track it if you delete it, just if you DL'd it in the first place. Maybe wait until the first few weeks are gone so it's not a "popular download".

Truthfully, this is more about perception than anything else. They said the regular synced inventory is what can't be expanded further (beyond what they did with SB), and the whole reason for developing the saddlebag and glamour dresser was to work around those limits. So now that they worked around the limits by developing these other methods, they can expand it further using this these various kinds of "side-storage" (which isn't limited like regular inventory).

I'm sure they'd probably argue that they already more-than-doubled people's storage space since the launch of SB, and that they've always sold extra storage capacity as an add-on. Objectively they're not wrong... but, as your quote points out, it won't really change people's sour perception that they're selling part of the solution to the problem.

They are not doing enough as far as making inventory manageable. If they truly cannot fit anymore room, start removing items from the game, like pointed out here:
http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...space-increase
there is a LOT of unnecessary items in the game that do not need to be taken inventory slots like all the trade in currencies, repetitive item mats from the same node, dyes, different colored versions of the same item like flower corsages. I mean I do find it neat how someone has to go to make them but... gotta live within your limits, and SE is doing a poor job with that in regards how many items they put in our inventories.

We shouldn't have to pay all this extra money for inventory space, that is just being cash grabby and double dipping on a problem they made, along with not fixing the 1.0 coding issues.

Is there a reason why I don't have a second favorite spot? For some reason it's only letting me have the one from the one-time password app.

you don't get another free teleport spot. you get an xtra favored (aka cheaper than normal) teleport spot.

We can't add more inventory space.


Unless you pay an additional $5.


Now you get an extra saddlebag!


And can have an additional retainer slot!


.......


I cancelled my additional retainers and will now only pay the basic Legacy subscription, enjoy less money from me in the future. I wouldn't have minded this app if it was free and didn't have a pay advantage and virtual currency.

The thing I do not get with this app is it offers far less then the Libra eorzea which when it allowed you to log in was a fantastic little app I have no clue how they managed to not only take two steps backwards but get in a car and reverse at high speeds, I won’t get into the premium service I think others have gotten onto that so far,

I feel like they should merge it with what remains of the libra eorzea and try to encompass some more basic uses before they even consider micro transactions ON TOP of a paid subscription, they could have the app be a direct link to the mpg store for excample and watch people use the app to buy extras and not be bled out to dry.
