Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XI! (Various Other 2.1 Content)

Will jobs ever receive passive traits?

Will items ever have ability enhancers instead of just status points?

E.G.
Enhances Shield block rate
Enhances Cure effects

Are we going to get anymore story background on the Garlean Tribunus? I think they were all interesting, but there wasn't nearly enough background on these characters in the starting storyline. I'd love to know more about them and what makes them tick.

Will the extremely inconvenient and stressful Coil lockout be changed or removed in 2.1?

How significant will the increase to server response time be for end-game and PVP? Currently it sits at .3, how low are you expecting your improvements will bring this?

But seems like you only can get 3 of them only on quests

Since there are quite a few class/skill balances in 2.1, will there be any change to WHM's Cure III? I think it is by far the most useless skill, it's so situational and for a situation that has never happen in the game.

There are plans to add barding for mounts other than chocobo (sleipnir barding for unicorn, for example)?

Two Questions:

1. Are there any plans to adjust pally threat/enmity. Currently threat in this game is a touchy issue. Although Paladins had more mitigation Warriors produced more threat so mobs would die faster. On my BLM (fulldl +1) with paladins, I cannot pop raging strikes and moderate aoe. With warrior, I don't have to hold back. Secondly, on my paladin (fulldl +1), if I miss one flash rotation I'll lose threat to white mages and summoners. Single target, no issues. (spec'd 20 str as well). I find myself removing HoTs to help the healer with threat.

2. Would it be possible to just have patch notes listed somewhere? I realize this is not every mmo, and I do appreciate the feedback to our questions, but between the ninja patches and trying to find information on what's to come, I have to search everywhere. If your developers issue reports on what they program, how hard would it be to consolidate the reports and put them in a closed thread entitled "Patch Notes"

Is there any new information regarding the 180 day veteran's rewards?
