Dreamers Wish List

[Wanzzo]

- Hats for Vieras and Hrotghars
- Female Hrotghars
- The problem with the time from ping/clipping actions thingy
- Instanced Houses for everyone at lv50 or so (not for FC, just personal houses but like "free apartments" with an outdoor area). OR apartments with "outdoor areas".
- More hairstyles for Vieras and Hroths and alternatives for them when you get new hairstyles from mogstation or ingame prizes.
- more cookies and coffees (because, why not? )

I do wish FFXIV had more resource management across the board, hell I wish we had more to manage. I miss games where aggro was a group effort but a fine line to manage cause sadly you get into situations where people refuse to use their aggro dumps and just make things chaotic for no reason.

Extreme Dungeons

Specs

Supports or Healers

Dungeon requests are an acquired taste. "Extreme dungeon like game X" ... one wonders whether such requests ever think that the differences are what attract players to more than one MMORPG these days. Could the current instances have better rewards? I suppose so. Should that be the Purpose of such instances? I ask -- why?

There are a plethora of ways to get geared up for the next series of high-end raids.
These include (a) running the previous patches raids until geared and (b) purchase gear to enter the current patch raids. Plus (c) use other methods (hunt rewards for example) to purchase prior raid tier gear so that you can run through things until you get to where you want to be.

For those who want 'specializations' within any given job ... why? I can understand this if you're playing a game, such as WoW, where your character can only be one job. Pick Druid and play as Tank, Healer or Mage. In this game, as designed, you can do all jobs. You can literally play as Tank, Healer and Mage without any 'specialization' required. It's a mess for WoW to balance raid tiers to what are, essentially, 39 different jobs (3 specs per class, with 13 current classes).

As for healers -- pick one: damage dealer or healer. As stated "they would need to change how damage is taken from players". Translated, that reads "they would have to rewrite the entire Battle Engine to accommodate four of the nineteen jobs in game because some of the healers don't like their current methods for damage".

Now, if the OP had sat down and written about how they thought things would go in order to accomplish what they want within the current Battle Engine framework, perhaps it would be something other than this thread (and others) becoming a repetition of "other games do it, so put it in this one".

Just because a game is doing well doesn't mean it can't add things to become better. The mutations and mythic+ work. There's nothing wrong with taking a concept from another game and making it your own in a different way.

Adding that gearing method opens up a different endgame for ffxiv. Most MMOs in this style have 3 end-game contents (PVP, Raids, and Dungeons). My idea for the dungeons make it where they aren't using more resources on variant and criterion dungeons when they can just use the dungeons they already made.

Are already coming, we think in 7.0, maybe earlier. Has been confirmed.

I dream that one day Jobs wouldn't be so ping reliant. I hope that if that happens it doesn't come at the sacrifice of Job design (it probably would) - and instead they find a middle ground.

Well to be honest I haven't been a player of this game as long as other people that frequent this forum so I do not feel the burnout as hard as others, and this "high" the game has been in since ShB isn't going to last forever and eventually, something has to give. Does it seem hopeless? Bloody oath it does, but there will always be someone with too much free time to talk about their issues with a game they like and wish to be better.

Perhaps I'm too overdosed on hopium, but it's not like the situation is entirely lost. More and more people are starting to be critical of XIV, even if it does seem like a drop in an ocean compared to probably the biggest echo chamber of positivity I've ever seen.

I would like FFXI's Support Job system to be in FFXIV. Always love customizing my playstyle in rpgs and even though cross class skills were a failure, I dont think they should just give up on the idea of mix and matching jobs to come up with fun build variety. Itll also help solve the current homogenous job system as well as healers not being able to have more dps buttons
