Day 1: People complaining they're not able to buy everything and negate the content immediately.

Day 1: People complaining they're not able to buy everything and negate the content immediately.

Says how much they missed the mark with it that it could be negated by buying everything.

In similar games, they get infinite replayability due to customization. This doesn't have that. Its a grind for some hair styles and a mount, then its just going to rot until its updated. The point of the island shouldn't be the gated rewards, but it currently is unfortunately.

1. Aetheryte to teleport to directly.
2. Orchestrion to keep playing what I set it to when I leave and come back.
3. Please just wire the Sprint into the General actions we already use.
4. Way to like... pin a recipe or something to your UI.

Bonus for the localization team: I hate a lot of the pop culture references on the minion dialogue. Domakin saying "Rus Doh Fah" is extremely cringe-inducing and makes me not want to set out one of my favourite minions.

All in all, a good start. I get some of the technical solutions are because of spaghetti code... I don't really care about the reason. Fix the underlying code and make the UX better.

it's a cute little time waster and instance to wander around on. People are complaining that they want all the rewards ASAP and then will leave it to rot AND probably complain the content sucked.

Their prerogative of course.. but still it's telling that the immediate complaint about the time-resource management content is that they have to put time and management into it.

I wish the isle sprint was like the pvp sprint. Kind of weird to put it on a 5 second CD and a 20s duration leaving me constantly spamming the button.

I think I'm still in the early stuff but a way to get to the upper part of the windmill would be nice. There's a ladder indoors, but I can't find a way to use it even though there is an animation for climbing up ladders in-game. You can't really enjoy a windmill you own to its fullest without being able to get up high.

One thing that might be clunkier without the mode select is sowing/watering/culling and feeding/petting/beckoning.
Instead of setting to water and going across all your plots, you'd have to click on a plot, then select water, 5, 10, 15 times.

Would be neat if Gathering was the default though.

For things that have multiple options, I think I still would have preferred seeing an action wheel or something, a la Sims (and other games). That type of a system feels far more streamlined to me. Maybe they could have added "Plant Multiple", or "Pet Multiple" and such to the wheel if you want to just do one action at a time.

So as of now, I have 10 garden beds and it's more annoying for me to run through all 10 beds first planting seeds, and then running back through all 10 beds again to water them vs. just planting & watering one bed at a time using an action wheel or something. Obviously I could do one bed at a time, but that's seems far more cumbersome.

One change I believe they should 100% do is change the cost of the mammet from seafare to island tokens. With the extremely limited seafare tokens gains you shouldn't be forced to use it for basic operations.

Fully agree. I have a friend ingame that bought some of the clothes when she was able to do it and only afterwards noticed that you need these to do stuff on the island. Now she is stuck until she can earn enough to continue.

At the same time the other currency is not really useful. You can get materia everywhere...

Next to this I would love for the music to be playing a bit more often. I enjoy it and I am quite sad when the music stops and its so silent.

1. Let me teleport to my island from anywhere.
2. Add a retainer bell so I don't have to leave for ventures every hour.

Day 1: People complaining they're not able to buy everything and negate the content immediately.

I'm reading this thread and pretty much all of the other posts are either:

1) Additional features the poster thinks would be cool or

2) Quality of Life problems like UI and such.
