What do you like about the FC and LS? What are we doing right?

I like the openness of the community, and the general attitude of the group to say "Just have fun." We also have a great house, and a lot of teamwork for the big house goals. Everyone is also very helpful and willing to assist in dungeons and advice for characters. Everyone I've chatted with is friendly, funny, and we all bring something to the game. The only other people I play with are from Penny Arcade, and the benefit with them is that there are just more active players.

What can we improve on? If there's anything that we're making a hash of we wanna fix it immediately!

The in-game chat is simply inefficient means to communicate in the game. I really wish there was more of a push and support for voice channels like Vent or Mumble. I have said this before, and I've received the feedback, but in every functioning MMO group, there is a dedicated voice service because it just makes playing the game easier, particularly during Raids, dungeons, and just having conversation in general. I am uncertain why there is the pushback from a lot of people against voice communication, but it really hampers the communication among the group, and makes it harder to play the game and The best times I've had with the Fat Chocobos is when we used a voice communication and I heard BoB scream-singing Scar from the Lion King; however, these instances are exceptionally rare. This is also particularly useful for console players.



Is there anything in particular that you wanna see within our group? Want to see more groups raiding Coil? Want to have random eventy type things that aren't related to the game content, like a screenshot party or something? Be creative, the more ideas we get, the more fun we can all have!

I'm not too concerned. Anytime I've needed help, there has been a great amount of help granted. I do wish we had a more groups doing dungeons. A LOT of focus seems to be toward crafting and gardening and the house at the moment; though I suspect this is because the majority of people have finished most of the content.

Is there anything you think the leaders could be doing better? Be honest! If you're too afraid to post it here you can always PM myself or one of the other leaders, and I promise you won't be bitten (by me).

I don't know if this is a leadership issue, or a community issue. I think that being part of EoFF isn't the option to get into the FC, and we don't have our own community place that's separate from this community. To me, FFXIV Fat Chocobos isn't EoFF, it's FFXIV players. I know we use Facebook, but that's not really the best option because my phone blows up a ton if I turn on notifications, so I just disable them. I would suggest brainstorming and determining what directions leaders want the FC/LS to go, and if they feel it is heading in that direction.
