The Final Fantasy XIV Lodestone has been updated with a new developer blog to detail some of the quality of life improvements that players can expect when Under the Moonlight launches on May 22nd. Pets will have unique markers on the map as opposed to having the same ones as players. In addition, when logging in, players will see a list of achievements they're close to finishing and which can be completed in the area they're currently in. Lastly, an Improved Savage content warning is incoming!
We already had a warning displayed on the Duty entry window; however, we now have an additional dialog as an additional confirmation.
This additional step was added to prevent situations where you may quickly press OK without noticing the warning, so it's a nice feature to have.
On the more technical side, some adjustments have been made to the display priority so that players can see one another more easily:
In FFXIV we limit the amount of characters and objects that are displayed at once to prevent stress load on the client. Because of this, until now there may have been situation where you couldn't even see characters there were standing right next to you if you were in a crowded area.
In Patch 4.3 we made various adjustments to this restriction, so that party members are prioritized even when the maximum display limit is hit.
This should make it easier to see your party members inside Eureka when it's really crowded!
Furthermore, we're told that this new feature works even when your party members are really far away! Be sure and try it out for yourself!
