Wishlist

Pretty sure it's in 6.45 but I'm excited, I meant I doubt we're getting any in 7.0 It feels like people will say "wel no one played them!" (which in reality it's because the rewards aren't good), anyway that's my speculation.

Shame the rewards ensure that it wont have a strong history.. certainly a bit late for a lot of changes but maybe some quick and dirty fixes would be to add mooglestones to them during the event we have but also potentially older stones and just leave those in there lol. Or to add potential treasure portals, open one of those doors and it's a bonus portal room with slightly adjusted treasure drops associated to that portal, and potentially optional bonus personal loot if you haven't looted your daily treasure chest (from DoL, but does take your treasure chest drop- creating a semi-self balance so treasure chests on the market / activity in general are still of value).

Both of those could add a fairly expansive list of drops without too much additional development time...

Ah, ok. Yeah I think it'd suck if variants went away after this patch cycle. They're a great medium to explore random lore that the msq isn't really touching on, while also allowing us to quest with specific NPCs. Storywise its like a trial series, but a dungeon.

NO WALLS OF TEXT PER IDEA???!?!?? Okay.. I give you.. small paragraphs!

The idea is that in the off-shoot possibility that the devs take a look at the thread, they can get a general idea of what everyone wants at a glance, without being overwhelmed by walls of text. To elaborate further, there's plenty of specific threads and some of us have linked to such threads throughout the post. That's why I didn't encourage discussion either, because it's meant to be more a collection of wishes than people arguing what's right or wrong with the game.

Then again, hoping the devs will see this is a LONG SHOT on its own, but that's the idea lol

I mean I can't assure for certain but I feel they'd check it out if it gets translated and as there are a lot of interesting blips of ideas it seems like a quick one to point out to devs for top level desires. In terms of length I'm fairly certain they make exceptions because I've seen somethings that look eerily similar to 10k posts I've made, or seen, and I'm not sure what the requirements is or how they deliver that info.. Could be someone reads it and turns it into bullet points, or it could be some devs just read the forums, and so it gets translated but by that individual.

I just bolded sections of mine so if someone wanted to skim the concept they could, I feel compelled not to leave it at "I want more better FATE" though XD. Compared to some other stuff I think this is the shortest I've written while covering a lot of diverse ideas about wishes though, so I think you get a gold star .

[*]Bestiary & Codex with gameplay elements associated, semi-akin to Bozja. Can connect to multiple contents, including things like Blue Mage / Monster Coliseum.[/LIST]

We already got a codex in the form of the Unending Codex, though I personally feel it gets added to the game way waaaaaaaaaaaay too late, when I first got it, my reaction was, "Wow this is so cool... why wasn't this added retroactively to ARR?", but an expansion of it into a beastiary would be rad.

I meant to the scope that is more akin to Witcher 3 (beastiary / codex) or some bioware game's codex, where like.. everything is in there lol. Hundreds upon thousands of lines of text that show up for most general topics. Although you're right we sort of have one, it's just really late and doesn't cover a lot. To be completely fair such a feat at this stage in the game would be extremely intensive and honestly might be easier to do for a new MMO but /shrug, it's a wishlist not a 'be budget friendly and mindful of people's time list'. lol.

Oh yeah, the Unending Codex is like, a really nice thing that gets added unreasonably late, it's really obvious how even the devs acknowledge this when entries get unlocked in the codex because a character namedropped Fandaniel or the Final Days, even thought hey are no longer relevant nor will ever be other than in reference to past events, how much nicer would be if you got an entry of the Final Days when you got to Amaurot, which then gets updated when you go through Thavnair 2, Elpis, and Ultima Thule in EW, for example, which is why I feel it would've been an amazing feature to have since the start of the game, I can only hope that it will be used more effectively in 7.0 onwards.

Maybe it would just not be feasible to add it retroactively, since it likely requires certain triggers to unlock entries, and would demand old players to replay the entire story through NG+ to make it work, but alas...

More interesting boss mechanics. I'm so sick of in/out, half-room cleaves, and opposite colours. Every fight feels like a reskin of the last.

Also make trash mobs in MSQ dungeons more interesting with actual mechanics, or at least make their attacks more lethal. Criterion made trash interesting, and so did the NieR raids (the tank/jet in Copied Factory, the laser tunnel in Puppets' Bunker, the quadruple jets and 2Ps in Paradigm's Breach). Are we really continue with wall-to-wall pulls of braindead trash mobs, then boss, and rinse repeat until the end of the dungeon? They put in effort into trash mob designs and localising their attack names, but at most all they do are autos and AoE puddles. Most of the time I don't even know what I'm killing, it's just an annoying thing I have to get past to get to the boss.

Edit: Sorry, only just seen the no paragraphs rule. RIP.

Above absolutely everything in this game...

I would like to see either much larger zones where flying would actually feel appropriate, and my absolute wish would be for everything to just be part of the world, and not zoned off.

I know I won't get this, but wishes are wishes.

My requests are pretty simple and straightforward.
From greatest to least desired

- Silk moth mount
- More voluminous hairstyles like the Gyr Abanian Plait
- Fingernail color to be a CC option
- Barefoot option
- Hands to look like actual hands and not have fingers get longer in length from pinky to forefinger
- Actual toes would be nice as well, along with toenail color option. TBH, I think this addition would make a large portion of the playerbase very happy.
