Quality of Life Suggestions?

[EvalcieChevallier]

Please dear SE, peruse this list and think this over. I would love these features! Thank you!

Please make the blacklist account wide, and increase its capacity.

Same with friends list

Eliminate aether currents, please.

Please allow the UI changes from 1 character to be ported to any alts with a single step move pop up

Create a controllable ingame timer/alarm that players can change and add notes to (as opposed to set timers.) Allow levels of interruption from "quiet notification in corner to full screen pop-up and minder alert noise as decided by the player

Free Markets. Allow players to sell items on other worlds besides their home world.

Allow for more UI color change options.

Selection boxes or Select All and Delete options in Mail delivery or inventory

Portable "Out in the field" summoning bell to deposit items in Retainers inventory. I would pay hard cash for this.

An ingame browser

Access the Mogstation in game via ingame browser.

-Eliminate logout Countdown for characters 16+ levels higher than the outside zones they are in.

Right click to save entire log window/chat

Speech bubbles

More tabs than 4, completely renamable.

Click to draw a rectangle and drag selection or deletion of items in inventory.

Optional HUD or UI indicators on the main screen and not just the maps.

Repair All feature that repairs every damaged item regardless of head/chest/inventory/armory chest etc

Mounted combat zones Odin can fight us on a horse, why can't we have a special zone or mode PvP for same?

Airships/submarine that we can navigate and inhabit

Unlock clothes for all genders/classes.

Communication range indicators on large and minimap

The ability to celebrate our character's nameday, and quests related to the character's chosen deity.

That's all I can think of, please feel free to add more if you have any ideas, and thank you for reading.

A bulletin board in the city states to post FC recruitments, farming group advertisements, etc

"Eliminate Aether Currents"
No thanks. They could be planned a little better, being located in actual points of interest so you have more reason to seek them out and more likely to visit them when looking for something else.

"Free Markets"
I expect we will get there eventually.

"An ingame browser"
What? Why? This seems like completely unnecessary work, and it would be a lot of work.

"Mounted combat zones"
"Airships/Submarines"
These seem incredibly unlikely and a lot of dev work to accomplish.

The rest are good suggestions though, and some are probably likely, or at least plausible.

" Eliminate aether currents " You mean the flying things? If so, absolutely not. Have you played WoW and saw the grinds there required to fly? You need a bunch of achievements until about half way through the expansion and when flying is finally released, it's gated behind reputations, which usually takes weeks, the system is awful compared to aether currents.

But why does flying have to be locked behind anything? Just let us fly in new zones without fumbling around with unlocking a grindy thing.

Fighting or exploring in submarines, or chilling out with 30 friends in airships in air zones or fighting in the air would be a fun new thing to do.
Same with mounted combat.
At the very least, let us knock mounted combat bosses off.

ALSO:
Stack Restrictions
If Triple Triad NPCS can have stacked ★★★★, ★★★, ★★★ decks let us use our stacks at will!

What's grindy about unlocking flight in FFXIV? You attune to each aether current once for the duration of your character's existence.

Some of them are locked behind dungeons or quests. If queue times are bad, good luck waiting. Wiping? waiting.

Why is the idea of just... "getting into a new amazing zone, and FLYING EVERYWHERE RIGHT AWAY."
I would still explore the ground because quests require it!
or at least making them all easier to find and not locked behind quests and dungeons.

Also if more than one person is on the mount and the driver teleports to an aetheryte everyone shares they all stay mounted.

As far as I remember, only one aether current in each expansion is locked behind an optional non solo duty: Dusk Vigil for CWH and Shisui of the Violet Tides for the Ruby Sea.
All the other duties are MSQ related and the last MSQ in a zone always rewards an aether current to prevent you from flying before that.

That's still not a grind. And most of it you do as part of the MSQ anyway.

My guess is because the open world is already easy enough without flying, certainly easier than in some parts of ARR zones.

So you can get a feel for the land, and see the sights they have to offer. Just immediately bypassing all that, then why bother making terrain at all?

All the lists that had been posted contain some good suggestions, but also some questionable ones. I'm not sure why people want things that are not actually all great or useful, some even straight downgrades from what we have now.
There's a reason why it feels like SE is deaf to suggestions.
