Most requested UI features

[Shockstk]

if you have suggestions, please reply to this post instead. that way we can keep all suggestions in one place

Since SE said that they plan on adding features for the UI, I wanted to gather the most requested one on a post.

- Buff/Debuff timer on the party list
- Bigger self-applied buff/debuff icon and number
- Big cooldown timer on Hotbar
- Better colorblind options in general
- Color-coded Castbar based on the damage type
- Detailed stats screen
- Optional Chat bubbles
- More waymarker slots
- Options to display buffs/debuffs as job gauges (this one is weird cuz some classes have it and others don't)

This are the ones that I saw most people ask for, there are some that I personally would like them to implement like different fonts for the waymarks (I hate the 4)

there are also things that aren't related to the UI, like the ping problem and how if you play with high ping you basically can't double weave and some classes get clunky.

Lemme know some more suggestions of what y'all want to get implemented and let's hope that they can make the game better for everyone.

Stop legacy camera panning when moving, how it attempts to auto center on it's own part.

Display buffs/debuffs as job gauges would take work to manually turn them into a gauge like how huton was changed since HWS.
Has an impact on an issue I mentioned in other battle systems. Too many buff/debuff problem type, type that's rare, shouldn't exist, but happens anyway and sucks when it does happen.

While putting together a list is an excellent idea, there is already a thread for this exact purpose.

And the forum mods/community representatives at SQEX have noted in the past that they're far more likely to notice one large thread -- and forward that thread to the devs -- than 14 different small threads on the same topic (which will likely get lost in the forum noise, or -- at best -- have only one of them chosen to forward along to the devs).

This isn't criticism for creating a thread on the topic, fwiw, just a note that there's one that does already exist, and combining all the suggestions on one thread is more likely to ensure that all the suggestions get sent to the devs, rather than just those which happen to be in one thread and not some other one.

It would, after all, be unfortunate to collect really good suggestions in this thread... only to have the community reps forward the other one to the devs, thus having the ones in this thread never get seen by them.

Alas, we as a forum community seem to lack object permanence -- at least in this specific section of the forum -- and if something isn't on the front page of General Discussion it seemingly ceases to exist. (Or at least, ceases to exist for 3-8 years, at which point someone performs thread necromancy and puts it back on the front page.)

also an option to filter and/or sort the buffs/debuffs in the party list.

Spiritbond progress meter on the character page, next to the durability meter (or on the opposite side).

oh thanks for letting me know! ngl I should've searched better. gonna edit mine and leave the link for the one you just sent me to try to keep all the info in one place

I should've searched better

Eh, I mean, this forum's search tool is terrible, and honestly I don't blame folks for not going 2-3 pages deep (even with how much churn there is in General Discussion) and trying to peek at every thread to find it.

I half-joke that we lack object permanence in General Discussion, but it's not like the forum exactly helps with that situation. Frequently it's "FWIW, this thread already exists over here" from another poster that's the more reliable way of finding things in the end anyway. :|
