Please increase the buff cap to at least 40

[Aco505]

So it seems that the cap has been increased after all! Check this Reddit post for proof: https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxivdiscus..._on_increased/

However, this increase seems to affect 8-people raids, and likely trials and ultimates, too.

Delubrum Reginae (Savage) as well as the other Save the Queen zones seem to be unaffected by it. It's understandable if they'd rather not raise it in large-scale areas such as Bozja and Zadnor, but I think DRS in particular should get this increase, as it's there where it's most needed after the duties that have already got it fixed.

If anyone is going to be in contact with the dev team/Yoshi-P during the FanFest, it would be appreciated if you could raise this question to them personally so that they might include Delubrum Reginae in this buff cap increase.

It would be really sad and strange if this content in particular ends left out of this, especially considering that if we get a new Exploratory Zone in Dawntrail, we will likely have even more buffs to add to the list.

I don't know if it's because P12S isn't affected by the buff limit increase or because they reverted the buff limit increase to fix the bug but I'm encountering the buff overcap issue.

In both of these clips I did not receive Ogi Namikiri Ready after using Ikishoten. You can see Ogi Namikiri is never highlighted and the Ogi Namikiri Ready buff never appears next to my Meikyo Shisui buff.

Thank you for your post! Indeed, it was reported in the Reddit thread that tested the cap raise that it was reversed by the morning of the 6th of October. It was probably done alongside the Meikyo Shisui fix, but strangely enough SE has not acknowledged neither the bug nor its reversal.

I hope that they will keep testing it and implement it later on but posts such as yours show that this raise is very important for the game as a whole, which is why I initially advocated for it. In the meantime, try to avoid FC buffs when doing duties like these, especially if you're partnered with a DNC.

Wow, I didn't know this was a thing but that's absolutely ridiculous. Hope they can fix this issue!

Yes, it was reverted because of the bug where players were getting random buffs in the extra slots. SE probably isn't talking about it because either it's an experimental feature that wasn't meant to be in the live servers in the first place or they don't want to raise too much hype about an experimental feature. Either way, it's not unusual for SE to test these sort of things in .5 patches, because there's no competitive content in it. It had a major bug, so it was reverted for now while it's being fixed.

There's been no news about this since the October bug. I hope they're still working on it and implement it on Dawntrail. The buff cap will be more and more prevalent then and particularly in Exploratory Zones.

Still not fixed. Had to create an account to complain about it. Please do something. I want to scream. Dragoon is no playable in DRS. Help.

Not too long ago, I had one of my BRD dots get kicked off a world boss FATE. Please fix this.

Bumping for visibility as the newest information on job actions for Dawntrail greatly suggests that many of the new actions will be available through a buff, thus the importance of this thread's request.

[nguyentri11]

Agreed. With some gauge giving actions like Manification and Barrel Stabilizer likely being changed to a buff that gives a free use on top of many actions giving follow up actions likely with a Ready buff, I fear buff overcap will be an issue in 8-man content in Dawntrail. Pretty much guaranteed in the new exploration content.
