Better communication/quest system etc

[Tonkra]

Questing (we need a Next-Gen Questing system which means..)

- when you finish a quest you should not have to walk back to your quest npc to receive your reward. a pop up should come up which gives you exp and the reward if you accept it.
so you receive your reward directly at your location.
(all modern upcoming MMorpgs have systems like that, Guild Wars 2, WildStar (NCsoft) )

- share active quests with other people


Communication system:
- An ingame Messanger where you can create a private chat with friends

- when you receive a new message/moogle mail. a visual signal should come up in the corner

- open mails wherever you want (like in Guild Wars 2) .



Grouping

- Group Search Channel (silly stuff^^)

- Groups can flag theirself as "recruiting for members" in the search option

these are just some ideas. you can say if you find some of these "stupid" or anything

I just want a log kept somewhere on my PC. Preferably one for each of the chat tabs.

I don't know how I'd feel about ingame voice chat. I mean, on one hand, I want to know what the other people in my LS sound like. But on the other hand, perhaps I don't... xD

[Tonkra]

ya well. But i think a better Quest system is much more important.

If SE is going to implement quests like in any standard MMorpg in 2.0. (which will be released after the Next-Gen MMorpgs like GW2 and WildStar) at least the quest system should work like a Next-Gen MMO and not Last-Gen.


This means.. after you complete a quest you should not have to walk back every time to your npc to get the rewards for it. We need more dynamic. so you should be able to get your reward directly at your place


well but maybe this suggestion is too late now.

Yoshida already said no to in-game vocal chat, so that's not coming.

No point anyway, we have external tools that does a better job and will always do a better job at whatever SE is able to develop. Having it directly in-game means going through SE's servers = extra costs for SE.

Your first idea has some merit, but I think quests should not all be designed to end on destination. Only if that makes sense, otherwise they should require you to return to the quest giver. Sometimes it makes sense, sometimes it doesn't. It depends. Some circumstantial treatment is needed by the quest developers to decide what has better flow and what makes more sense, storywise.

Especially since we have the Linkpearl system, which could be used to receive a message/reward from the NPC that launched the quest. Or we could receive the reward by opening our mail, there are plenty of possibilities.

The quest issue is not an issue at all, honestly it sounds like you're just incredibly lazy.

+1

And another point some quest have a story line when you come back to the quest giver there a video or an interaction. If you dont care about the story line why do you play XD

its just has nothing to do with lazy.. ask any GW2 player that it is much more modern and DYNAMIC gameplay..
just to walk back every silly quest just feels like routine where you are ripped out of the actual gameplay

ehm well you know that there will be actual like over 200 quests.. and more will be added regularly? in FFXIV 2.0. you wont level up by grinding!.. so you will with hundreds of quests .

and im not talking about story missions. -_-



"Completing the quests, getting rewards, huge experience points, or completing a dungeon and getting experience points, that's going to be the key thing to level up your character, not like at the moment where you have to do monster camping or farming, that's not going to work in 2.0."

NOTHING to do with the actual story missions.. there will be story missions besides the quests
and a dynamic system would be even more fine.

its not about "making it easier".. its about a more dynamic gameplay

I just posted that i do all side quest and by running over every town and going out in the field to every spot where we have NPC in the world just to find side quests. And i don't mind if i'm not all class level 50 i love taking my time and enjoy playing while doing thing in real life too.So if they add 200 more side quests bring it on i'll search for them all.
