    Trust/Duty Support & Retainers

    With the new Duty Support system and the evolution of the Trust system, I'm wondering if there's any desire (other than myself) to see our DoW/DoM retainers integrated. I think it'd cool to fight through dungeons with essentially customized NPCs, and give a possible alternative method to level them up.

    You are asking too much here, it would require imagination and the devs actually reading the EU forums for once but hay there are complaint threads here over three years old on experience breaking issues so good luck.

    I honestly feel like this was where the Path Companion system back in 1.x was eventually meant to go. A companion who fights in the field with you (a'la our chocobos currently), and then where you could take them into the dungeons (a'la squadrons) as well.

    That said, I'll point out that you only get two retainers for free, and duties require three other people to run. If you could only take your retainers into dungeons if you had picked up the mobile app subscription (to get the freebie retainer from that) or else paid for extra retainers, there would be fire, pitchforks, and screaming bloody murder about making the functionality contingent on paying real actual money.

    I aim to make my posts engaging and entertaining, even when you might not agree with me. And failing that, I'll just be very, VERY wordy.

    Only way they could dodge this is to limit the "companion" retainer to only just have one active at a time. Still Im all for having more combat functionality for our retainers. I hate the fact that you get to customize them like your character but you literally only see them for a brief moment whenever you summon them. What a letdown.

    And you have to move the text box out of the way to do that.
