yea i agree, not sure why they never add these simple but quite useful change

@Team Rocket's Slowpoke well thats ur opinion, i find it quite useful especially in limsa

@@teamrocketsslowpoke2773 it's not clutter when it's a toggle option that is off by default. it's not useless when it literally adds visibility to who is saying what. there's a reason so many people have asked for it to be added officially.

it is in the code but for NPCs only, we also call this DEV laziness

@@teamrocketsslowpoke2773I never understood how your opinion can even exist if this simple mod doesn’t take any ressources and would be optional AND toggled off by default. Thats literally insane what you are talking about

Thanks for the great idea I’ll definitely look into it!

yea.. for sure.. but i think they are probably restricted on a lot of things due to the coding nature of the old engine maybe?

@@StingcatKnight For sure, they need to do lots of refactoring to make their code more manageable. But they can't afford to sit on their laurels. Other companies are going to come in and offer a more comprehensive MMO experience. If they don't want people to mod the game, they have to implement the same mods officially into the game. Otherwise they might alienate some of their playerbase.

@@Quickloaded It'll all be fine. FF as a series and this game in particular aren't in any danger of going away due to lack of innovation. When FF14 is no longer able to meet needs there will be another in the series rolled out. There's a reason why the game has only grown over time while others diminish.

real

yea ppl out here having litearl esex through their character

and you're proud of spreading this...@@StingcatKnight

@@liowyv9983 their choice not mine, mare is not only used for that

Yoshi P said that mods that are just superficial do not violate the ToS. Mods that show boss mechanics and cheats do. So no worries.

As long as you don’t show it in picture or video form, there are no issues

Don't ask, Don't tell and you're golden. You can use the most cheaty plugins and as long as you keep your mouth shut and don't show it off on video or pics your chances of being banned are 0%

@@Super_Death yep u got it

its face paint seting

Just download xivlaucher

yea ofc, tho i havent played much lately

Glamourer: Client side Mare Synchronous: Can see other players as they see themselves with Glamourer

Only you can see it, unless you have mare on with the specific ppl that you have paired with

Aaaah I think some plugins I get overwhelmed with how much is in it and I just subconsciously ignore it

@@StingcatKnight Simple Tweaks is one of those plugins that I will wait the full week it sometimes takes at new expansions releases for Simple Tweaks to be updated. I refuse to play FFXIV without Simple Tweaks. Examples include: - "Always Yes" (Great for controller use when the default for all the confirmation prompts is "no" or "cancel". This feature removes the need for 1 more button press for very very common tasks.) - Smart Autoscroll: Now you can scroll up in the chat to read past chats without having to fight with the chat box to keep your position when new chats appear at the bottom. "Smart Autoscroll" makes the game treat me like the adult I am and only auto scrolls to the bottom when new chats come if...if I'm already at the bottom. - Item Hotkeys: I can set hotkeys for when I'm hovering over an item in my inventory to automatically open that item's page on Garland Tools or Gamer Escape, etc. - Parameter Bar Adjustments: When I'm playing as a healer, and my eyes are glued to the party HUD, I no longer want to see my parameter bar, at least not the HP and MP bars, but I do want to see my target filter preset mode. With this feature, I can hide individual parts of the parameter bar without hiding the whole thing. - Casting Bar Adjustments: I can have it add a visual representation of where along my cast bar I can start moving without interrupting my cast so that I can reliably perform slidecasting. There are about a dozen other features that I could talk about, but I'm tired of typing for now. haha

@@StingcatKnight And best of all, installing Simple Tweaks alone does absolutely nothing unless you enable one or more of the tweaks. It's like a separate app store within an app store.

thank u mister loons

oooh that sounds very sick, do u have any video example of it?

@@StingcatKnight there’s a basic video example on the KZfaq page. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jJuSqcRn0tmoYGg.html

enjoy the tts! I personally find it quite useful!

@@StingcatKnight same I have adhd, I can finally enjoy the side stories, reading is just to hard for me

erm, cant really say, i've only played in english

@@StingcatKnight ah, but thanks :)

No, you can't. But if you have them on mare I would assume you're friends with the person so just ask em.

@@GreyfoxFrankYaeger Aaah I tought you automatically get all players, not only your friends.

nope, unless u add them to mare or are in a syncshell

@@Megasder that would be such a sewcurity risk xD and the devs of mare are very careful not to have one. even took donw the plugin for a week once cause of a risk. also would destroy your ping and performance xD

That would be extremely stupid. @@Megasder

is it cheating, you have to be super careful when you use them. you can get banned for talking about this in game. they dont not have way of detecting if you are using mods, but people will report you if you talk about them

@@petlord2 Should’ve clarified - I had no idea this wouldn’t immediately get you banned, since online games almost always have some sort of detections in place. But yeah I definitely don’t talk to anyone about this.

@@the_terrorizer I mean me and my friends in game talk about it indirectly (without naming things specifically), it’s not as big of a deal as most ppl think

@@the_terrorizer Ya, I found it a bit odd as well, that SE didn't have detections in place like WoW does for something as innocuous as texture mods. But as far as I understand, SE only might have serverside detections in place for any serverside calls that might be otherwise impossible with the vanilla game. That is why all plugins that get approved for XIVLauncher need to meet a strict set of rules that keep plugins from doing anything with the servers that an ordinary player wouldn't be able to do without plugins. I don't know if it's just a SE thing or a Japanese government thing that prevents them from installing "spyware" on your computer to prevent mods and plugins. Maybe someone else can clarify.

im pretty sure theres some, where u also shows ur own dot timer directly from hotbar as well as mitigations usage from other players, let me find it real quick, gotta wait until act updates

@@StingcatKnight Thanks 👍🏻 That would be quality of life, specially on blue mage, there is so many dots I cannot see when someone used magic hammer (mitigation) because it's just mixed with all their dots, it's curse

low chance, i saw some ppl stream with plugins, mods like mare is a no go, u'd get banned from mare itself, if u are big streamer then u will be banned, if not then u'll probably be fine

it is not bannable as long as there is no hard evidence of u with it(videos or pics with full name and plugin usage), bots dont get banned for botting in game, only 'rmt' gets banned

@@StingcatKnight ahh that's nice to know! Will for sure start using those plugins you mentioned!

@@lyricsms5448 enjoy!!!

It is still there for me, did u take a look at the whole plugin list

no, unless theres physical evidence of u involved, with ur full name + plugin/mod like a video/picture

are u struggling to listen?

@@StingcatKnight Definitely. When you have a cut between every word in a sentence, sometimes even within one word, its time to re-record. Write a script even.

​@@rem520 i see, interesting, good to see feedback, I cut them to speed it up but I should hold back a bit

@@StingcatKnight Maybe I was rude too quickly, sorry. Cutting is good for snipping out the occasional err and umm, but only if its helping you sound more natural. I firmly believe most viewers would rather hear you lose focus a bit than have your voice jump around like a ytp.

@@rem520 no worries, thanks for feedback, I think during sentences I should avoid cutting unless there are long pauses or ums or errs, but for new sentences I should cut in, I think that's how most KZfaqrs does it

LOL

It's very, very playable with 0 mods, what a ridiculus thing to say. You just sound bitter and annoyed that the game isn't 100 percent catering to you specifically. Would it be OK for the devs to come to your house and design the game around you over a nice cup of tea? Maybe they should employ 5 or 6 staff to follow you around just in case you come up with any other amazing insights.

@@HikingFeral FFXIV has an insane amount of flaws, obvious lack of basic functions found in most other mmorpgs and suffers under a huge lack of quality. Getting used to or learn how to just live with those issues, doesn't mean addressing and fixing them wouldn't make the game much better. The company running this game has enough money and reach to solve most issues. Yet they are stubborn, ignore crowds of people complaining and instead bad people for solving issues the devs are supposed to solve, just to later implement a worse version of the 3rd party mod for which they banned people, pretending to be doing work. Taking modders work, butchering it , banning people who used it and then selling the mod as your own work in the game is weak and shameful. It took years just to add timers to party list status effects. This is pathetic. If you find the current state of the game "very, very playable with 0 mods" then that's good for you. But most other people that care about the game and spent years with it are working hard to turn this game into something better. You will never be part of any group changing this game into anything better than it is right now. So go enjoy your mediocre experience and be blind and unwilling to help better the game. But don't tell people that have passion for the game to stop fighting.

​@@fujiyamapanicwhy do you have passion for a shit game? Why is it one of the most popular online games around? If you claim to "fight" for the game your crap attitude is 100000% the reason square will tell to F off. I am telling you that from one comment.

​@@fujiyamapanic i cant agree with you about being playable, i've being raiding since Titan extreme back in 2013 never needed a single mod, just install WoW , that game is unplayable vanilla you will need mods for a lot of basic stuff, i dont know which mmorpgs have market prices values or other stuff like the mods give, they enhnace the basic playable gameplay that is cleae but the game is not as you say, but to be honest their broken AntiAlising is a fucking mess that is not a lie

Do you still need help? Make sure to have xivlaucher installed, open up dalamud plugin through escape menu, then in all plugins type in speech bubble or chat bubble and install

wooooooooooooooow

like showing all the slots in one page? thats an in-game setting you have to find i forgot where it is, not from any mods or plugins

SHHH

If you just google specific class vfx you’ll find them

hello artio, fancy meeting u here and thank u

mare(the mod) will ban u themselves if u show it on video/livestream, unless u are big streamer and u don't get reported u can get away with streaming the other mods

Google.

It is a custom respo, please find the mare installation guide from google

@@Luisin88 ok wait for next video

as long as u dont show or talk about it

its called Advanced Combat Tracker (ACT) u have to download it separately on the side on its own

well i hope not, also i tried to censor most things that have my or others name when involving a mod

@@StingcatKnight Just please be safe! ♥

Thanks for saying something. I'm a new player and had no idea addons were prohibited. Maybe start the video with a warning that this is against the game's rules.

No one cares about the rules. Everyone who does any sort of harder content uses third party plugins. @@zenwilds2911

I'm curious as to why you dcn't agree with the markerboard mods.

Such a strange thing to single out lol. That should be a feature in the base game.

@@belphegor_dev I think that's the point. If it's not a feature in the base game, then it probably gives a (slight or massive) disadvantage to people not using it...but I dunno, I could be wrong. Something as harmless as chat bubbles are fine tho (can't believe there are no chat bubbles in-game yet). like if I wanna compare auctionator and craftsim in WoW, to the base auction house... well it's suffice to say that it's a massive disadvantage to people not using those.

You are totally right. As a console player I have to open two different tabs for an item just to look at how much it is worth right now on the MB while this add-on shows it right in the menu. Huge time save for modders. And don't even get me started on the automatic undercutters. Console players are screwed man. No market board efficiency, no nice screenshots, no ACT, no speech bubbles, no Viera/Hrothgar hats, no logging your fights (and I for one being specifically told to not be able to join a static cause I 'can't log my fights as a console player')...it's bs.

​@MrFuzzemz who tf cares bro. Do you really have nothing better in your life going on that you nit pick what mods should and shouldn't be allowed? It's ALL against the terms of service. Weather It's a stupid visual mod or boss mechanics solver who gives a rip. It doesn't affect you in the slightest

the one that shows u price when hovering over an item or the one that literally comes up as a market?

@@StingcatKnight found it ty

@@StingcatKnight i did not found that one :X

no im still here, as long as u dont talk about it or show it through video evidence with ur name clearly on it then u are good

have u found it yet?

@@StingcatKnight I ended up going back to BDO but don't recall finding it before then or it may have been out of date

@@nickolasp.5070 hmm strange because i do have it, enjoy bdo!

@@StingcatKnight uhhh... okay

👍👍

so long as you dont talk about it in game or post about mods online in a way thats associated with your account (for example showing your character's name), you wont get banned. they cant detect clientside stuff, so as long as you dont get caught theres no problem (unless you use plugins that let you cheat obviously)

i have not heard or seen anyone banned from using mods, even when some of them talk about it openly in game, but its best to say nothing about ti then nothing will happen

Basically use them at your own risk - which is something that @StingKnight should have said either in the video or in the description.

you will 100% be fine. the GM's have absolutely no way to tell if a player is using plugins, so if you do get in trouble it would be because of something you said in chat. and even then, I know players who blatantly hack (speed hacks etc) and haven't gotten in trouble despite numerous reports, so the likelihood of you getting banned for a plugin seems pretty low

​@@StingcatKnight There have been many people actually a few thousand that i've been banned over the years for using mods or pluggings. Just because you've never seen them and gotten lucky doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Final fantasy is a very large community. Actually one of the biggest bannable plugged in that I've seen happen is to the RP community because they keep use the beautiful face mode like idiots. And then they post videos of it and names get posted along with them and next thing You know 3 to 4 months later half Those people got their accounts ban.

thank u

meow

O_O

its happening either way lul

Disliked for disliking the undercut encouragement.

lol, gshade isnt even considered a mod or against tos, but ofc use it at your own risk, there's no way anyone would know u are using mods or plugins if u keep it to urself and SE has no way of detecting it

it's uncomparable @Dega. what happened to GShade was totally a petty dev's fault towards the whole gpose community, against one person they disliked enough to make people distrust Gshade and move to Reshade

it is definitely a third party tool that is plugged into the games files and therefore against ToS-other third party tools and mods do effect other players gameplay most evident in pvp and crafting which are both almost dead

@@neondharma Gshade and Reshade are not against ToS or plugged into game files, even though it's a third-party tool, it doesn't affect gameplay or the HUD in any way. it's a literal color filter on top of the whole game to make it look prettier compared to the game's dull colors, and it helps color blind people a lot.

@@tuggerjaegger2886 you're drunk on copium my dude-i said other mods effect others gameplay not gshade-never the less it's literally a "plugin" it is attached to your .exe during install-it's against ToS-many claim that they remember yoshida saying gshade was not against ToS but have never cited it-there is also a colorblind mode in game

Yeah, if you flex on chat. If you stay silent and use it for yourself you're fine.

I’d be impressed if anyone gets banned

Ok square enix simp. Keep being a good little boy or girl and stay in your lane. Crying about it won't change anything

Reported YOU for harassment and bullying. GG.

​@@YurikasMom That is debateable and hard to prove, i had no intentions of doing that. I am autistic and only trying to highlight that there is a break of ToS. KZfaq can do as they see fit, but SE will (and probably did take action) on blatant breaks and advertisements of third party tools.​

@@IRL-ins yeah, I was kidding lol. I don't report people. No offense intended 😬. I thought it would be read as a joke. My apologies.

@@YurikasMom get fucking reported
