Quality of Life Wishlist FF14

**Kaiserdrache** · 01-01-2019 10:04 PM

Here can people post all kinds of quality of life improvments you want to see for FF14.
Stuff you want to see gettign fixed, stuff you want to see getting improved over its current state, whatever would make the quality of life experience for you as a FF14 player better.

Here is my little wishlist so far:

1) Rework the complete Inventory System and turn it into something, that offers us players enough space for all that stuff that a player gathers and collects over time of playing FF14.
Example, Weapons and Tools shouldn't be put together in the inventory, they are two completely different things.
> 1.1) Implement a Tool Belt System, which works like a RING MENU for Crafter/Collector Tools from that we change from Combat Class to Crafter/Collector Class by activating from that Ring Menu the MH Tool we want to use. Each Crafter/Collector MH & OH Tool would have their then their own Item Slot, so that these Items are then all not anymore mixed together in the Inventory of our Weapons.
> 1.2) Each Class should have its on Weapon based Inventory, because so more classes you play, and so more Weapons you collect over time, so more crowded becomes the Weapon Inventory very quickly. These Weapon based indiovual Weapon Boxes should offer basically for each individual Weapon so much Inventory Space, like we have currently in total just for all weapons together - the difference is only, the Weapon Box is practically Inventory Space WITHIN Inventory Space, which will cost in the general Inventory under your Weapons then only 1 single Inventory Slot. The the Weapon Box practically as "Sub Inventory System" to help reducing the inventory clutter to the absolute least minimum neccessary, while still allowing players to collect Weapons they like.
> 1.3) Same should be done with all other gear types of equipment, a clear divide between combat classes and crafters/collectors needs to happen here too.
2) Make it possible to upgrade our general Inventory Space of our Characters and that of our Chocobo, by crafting Rucksacks, Bags ect. which can increase our maximum Inventory Space, because 140 items is absolutely RIDICULOUSLY outdated low.
That amount of inventory slots was maybe appropriate at ARR times when alot of classes didn't exist back at that time, everythign was max 50, and tons of items you can gather also didn't exist, but as of now, this Inventory Limit needs to become increaseable to a new limit of at least 300 with an additional side option for real money via Mogry Station to further increase it to 500 Slots
3) Implement an Item for Guilds (Guild Buff), which increases for you thee Drop Chance of One Time Items, like for example for Triple Triad Cards, or Mount Saddle Skins or in general raises the Quality of dropped items, so that its more likely that killed enemies drop high quality items over normal quality.
4) Change the Class Change Mechanic from the Weapon to the usage of the Head Gear, so that the used Head Gear decides over it, which Class you are and not the Weapon. This will make it then possible to make all classes gameplaywise more interestign by letting them have more than only 1 Weapon Type to use.
Each Class should be able to use at least 3 different Weapons. A Bard for example Bows, Sword & Shield and Axes, giving them this way access to different weapon related Skills, so that this game gets more build diversity between classes
5)Make it possible, to send our Assitant NPC's out on a Shopping Tour for us, so that they bring us the things we want for our Craftings, the current system with these once every 18 hours, or once every hour getting something random is so outdated and absolutely unmodern game design seriously. We tell them what we want and for which price, and they should buy it for is the moment where the conditions are met on our Wishlist with the Budget Money we gave them.
6) Implement for Fishing a Lure Box, which kind of puts all of your douzens of various lures into this Box Item as just only one Inventory Slot Item, so basically a Sub Inventory Item for the countless Lures for Fishing, so that they don't clutter the general inventory full, when all of those various lures could be put just into 1 big Lure Box, whwere every lure has its fix spot for up to 99 units of each Lure Type.
7) Implement for Item Skins an accountbased Unlock System that is bonded to the Projection System, so that every item you earn, craft ect for the firt time and you bond with it to 100%, unlocks the skin permanently automatically for you account
8) Implement an Account Chest where you can put in all the tons of crafting and collecting materials into that chests, so that you don't have to permanently run around with all that stuff in your characters inventory, just to be able to use them. If you want to craft stuff, the materials required for the craftign process should be automtically taken out of your Account Chest, as logn you don't run out of the materials, first when that happens, then the game should look after it, if your currently played character has the required materials in his personal inventory.
9) Make it for players easier to see in the Housing Instances, where exactly space is FREE, or where players are trying to sell their space. Like for example talking with a specific NPC, which brings (teleports) you then to the houses, which are still free, or are about to be sold by players..when players willing to sell their spots talk to these NPCs , saying them for how much they want to sell their spots, principally like playing an item into the Market for a specific price, so simple shpould players become also able to buy space from other players..this has to be done, so that players finalyl stop abusing the group search as their market place for selling Housing Space ....
10) Make it possible to chat already with players that join your potential party for when you try to make one for any instanced content like Dungeons and not first, once the group is ful land ready to go. This shouldnt be possible only by using a server wide group search, this should be possible also too by using the normal party system which searchs for people if you start just some instanced content from the menu, that would help in preventing that people leave already before a party comes together, just because they are too unable to wait a few minutes longer, but if you could at least talk with these people, even if the party isn't complete, you'd be able to arrange with the peopel that are already these something, so that the party coudl get full quicker maybe, by changing for example your class, or talking with these people over eventual friends which might join and so on...
All this can't happen, if you have to silently wait for it, until either enough people join, or until somewhen hopefully triggers the silly roulett mechanic to add some peopel to your party. Can't count it anymore, how often I was at like 0/, 1/1, 2/2 party formings and the people left, because the stupid roulette didn't trigger and no one was joining in time, before those people didn't want to wait any longer, what could have been prevented eventually, if we would be able to chat with each other in that phase already ...even if the party isn't ready to go.

For me, things I'd love to see for QoL:

1) Upgradable Inventory size. Both for Armoury Chest as well as general inventory. (That said, I doubt this will ever happen so long as they are selling Retainer slots...).

2) Fishing Log to also show what bait you've used to catch that fish (Or what you Mooched it from).

3) More Glamour Plate slots.

4) Allow Tracking of Achievements/Challenge Log progress alongside the quest tracking we have.

5) Allow us to transmute Materia ourselves, instead of having to get Mutamix to do it.

6) Ability to put Relic weapons into the Armoire (Being able to access the glamour for all prior stages would also be neat too, though I highly doubt that'd happen)

**Brightamethyst** · 01-05-2019 03:21 AM

Repair All. Not repair all equipped, repair all everything. Is it really so unthinkable that I might want to repair my SCH gear and my DRG gear at the same time? Why does it take almost 30 clicks to accomplish that?

Consolidate fishing bait. Let's face it, fishing is extremely unwieldy. Right now there SIXTY ONE different kinds of bait and little way of knowing which one you'll need at any given time. I'm fine with having different bait catch different fish, but I think it should be pared way down. IMO there should only be four types of bait per expansion. A normal bait and lure, and an endgame (scripts) bait and lure. There would still be variety but you'd no longer need to fill your entire inventory with bait.

Beyond that I just want all the usual stuff that everyone wants. More inventory, more glamour plates, etc.

**Raikai** · 01-05-2019 04:48 AM

Quality of life, as it small features that would improve stuff around:

1) Let dyes be stored in a separate system, like crafting crystals. There's definitely something weird about more than 1/4 of your inventory being occupied just by dyes.

2) Let us rename our minions. This might be silly, but pets feel more like our own when we can name them.

3) This is IMPORTANT: let us customize the nameplates. I can't even display people's nameplates in crowded place because the screen becomes so cluttered... And a cast bar for the enemy nameplates would be extremely handy.

4) More glamour storage and glamour plates. But I suppose they are working on this.

5) More customizability to the party frames.

6) Let us choose unique colors for our name in the chat box. In very busy situations, text would become much easier to read / tell easily who wrote what. Right now the only thing that helps a bit with identation is enabling the timestamps.

7) I'd say the removal of Protect would count as a QoL, because the spell is merely a maintenance buff (also apparently the only case in XIV) that every party has. There's no decision behind using it, heck even the MP cost is zero... What's the point? I'd suppose it would be more interesting if it was something like the pvp version.

Just give me an easy way to tell if I already have a Triple Triad Card / Orchestrion Roll / Minion / Mount / Any other single-use item (recipe books, etc.).

Also this. Seriously, why is this not a thing?

**Songwillow** · 01-07-2019 09:41 AM

- I definitely want a dye box or something since I have a retainer with a page worth of dyes stored. Also texture or patterns would be a fun change as well.

- I would also like to see the renaming of minions, though I imagine issues as with anything that has a name. Still it would be nice to make them feel personal.

- Glamour DEFINITELY needs an storage upgrade.

- I would like to have all of my class 60 and 70 antiquated sets to be storable in the armoire. You can store the 50 set, so why not the 60, 70, and future 80 set. I have them all in the glamour chest and it is taking up room.

- Repair all would be great.

- UI option for controller users to allow one to show the hotbar for LT + RT or RT + LT just like the WXHB. I would like to see my cooldowns consistantly for that set. Also having the named labels for the actions movable would be nice so you can setup the UI better without them getting in the way of vital numbers.

- Since they are removing the TP gauge, allow the simplified version of the class gauge to be put in it's place. Also a left orientation for the status effects on the player list when you want the list on the right instead of left.

- Definitely an icon or indicator for acquired cards, minions, mounts, orchestrions, etc.

- A lure box for fishing would be amazing.

- More armory slots since we are getting new classes.

- A search functions that you can type in for your own inventory.

- I would like more indicators or flags on items to make them easy to sort through. Maybe custom flags that you can set for yourself on the items. Like the groups symbol system for FC and friends list.

- Having something state in your armory on what gear set your item is set to would be nice. Selling or turning in items for seals should list if your item is currently in a gear set or not.

- Finally a gear lock/unlock so you don't accidentally sell an item that is part of your set would be nice.

- I would like the Journal to have a way to keep notes. Right now I'm using a macro slot to make notes for myself and I would prefer something better for making personal notes or logs. Either that or a calendar to keep track of your dates, events, and notes (saved locally instead of on the server to not load up the servers).

- A roulette for two seater mounts would be nice since I have a couple and use them almost exclusively.

- Storage for raid and ex trial items that you have to collect, either that or make them a currency page. I hate having half of my inventory carry items from raids and trials. I have had to throw away so many cranks and shafts and gears from Alexander because they were just taking up space.

**Songwillow** · 01-07-2019 10:25 AM

- A notice of when you are about to reach your capacity for tomestones, that way we can be reminded to use them and not lose out on them when we gain some.

- Another aetheryte crystal in Coerthas Central Highlands. Preferably in Whitebrim. I'm tired of having to march through that snowy mess all the time since you spend a large part of the game there and the levequest givers are in Whitebrim.

- A slash command autofill would be great. It would be really useful in macro editting and quickly doing an emote on the fly.

- An actual use for phoenix downs in combat. Add a cast time and cooldown or even a party cooldown so they aren't abused but can be used in emergency when wiping could be eminent.

- An duty finder menu to queue for Deep Dungeon content like Heaven on High or Palace of the Dead. I don't want to port to the location just to join queue.

- An indicator to identify the rank of a hunt mark.

- Colorblind mode on the PS4 or some kind of color options for PS4 players.

- A housing market board to show available plots in all regions.

- Autosorting of items in the Free Company chest, also a tag of the donator on the item.

- A range indicator to determine if a target is within range of an effect. Also having it available to list the range of a target in a slash command so you can use it for macros.

- The ability to turn off some visual effects on the PS4 so you don't have to see nothing but flashes on screen.

- Separate materia and demimateria storage so we don't have to clear our inventory to make room for all of our desynths and converts.

- Allow the HUD components that you can cycle with the Select button or Touchpad be adjustable on what order to cycle for those that change their HUD layout.

- Have a second indicator on the enemy list on which party member (by list number) has the current aggro.

- A latency tracker on the server status and time HUD.

- Ability to change the map area marker colors away from a red ring.

- Ability to see other PC's pets or chocobo companions on the party list so healers on controller can heal them easily.

- Ability to edit the PvP hotbar without being in a PvP zone.

- Sleeping in the bed in your FC home like you are at an inn.

- Glamour chest and armoire in your FC home or room.

- Names of the hairstyles in the aesthetician menu. Also a new indicator so you can find the one you got the Modern Aesthetics for.

- Have the party list build from bottom up instead of top down in the HUD layout menu.

**Brightamethyst** · 01-07-2019 11:14 AM

Some of those already exist.

You can already tell what rank a hunt mark is. 'A's aggro, 'B's don't, and 'S's are already dead or being camped by the time you find them.

Most of the time you probably don't want to auto-sort the FC chest. Different people use it in different ways and the default sort would probably just annoy most people. You can also see who donated (and removed) items by looking at the log.

You can turn down (or off) particle effects. Character Config > Control Settings > Character

Try doing a /doze on a bed and see what happens... (and for more fun, /cpose)

There's already an armoire furnishing. (though no glamour dresser.)

Chocobos actually used to show up in the party list, but that's because they counted as full party members, taking up a party slot and keeping you from using the DF. I'm okay leaving that in the past.

Instead of using weapons to change jobs, use job stones.
