Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XXIII!

Will we be seeing the children of the Au Ra, Lalafel, and Roegadyn soon?

And will there be more interracial offspring like Hilda?
Edit: What races can have interracial offspring other than Elezen/hyur?

What can we expect from the new relic weapon and how will it affect players who are/have worked on the old one?

Can we get an official cut-off time for posting questions that are considered for an answer? If the questions are chosen purely on Likes then anything after the first 2-3 pages is ignored.

Not sure if this has been asked but is there any chance we will have a "flying" mount roulette feature in the near future?

WARNING SPOILER!!!!!

Please don't read this if you didn't finish heavensward MSQ yet!!!

When the last CS came up in the MSQ. When we are fighting the Hero of Darkness in the future will he look like your own character?

Can we Fly in the future in the old zone's?

Hi,

I've been wondering about the two physical ranged classes, what made you take the decision to give them a stance where they have to cast their abilities. It was so much more fun to play BRD before this. And you did it on both classes so we don't have a choice.

Regarding Tanks / Paladin

Other than the issue where WAR is doing overwhelming well on DPS which a lot of players are aware of, it seems that in 3.0, a Level 60 Paladin is no longer capable of keeping hate ("Aggro") on targets when multiple melee DPS are focusing on separate targets.

For example in a level 50+ dungeon, 2 DRG focusing on 2 different targets could easily take aggro from a Paladin. This does not only occur in level 50+ dungeons. My PLD which is currently ilevel 183 is suffering from this issue in Alexander; in Alexander "3rd floor", it is often that I lose aggro to my targets when I am trying to keep hold on more than 3 targets due to multiple DPS focusing on different targets.

There was never such issue until the 3.0 expansion. Is this intentional which Paladin is swaying towards merely a "Single Target Tank", forcing DPS to focus-fire on targets in order, or will there be any adjustment to this?

Thank you

I could see a potential new avenue for Glamour systems which will prevent infuriating grinding for glamour items.

What if we could bind a particular glamour to a prism directly, and sell that?

In other words: Allow people to sell glamours of their hard-to-get items. This will bypass a big problem which is untradable gear.

There would need to be some limitations, like the ability to only make 5 a day, or something.

With Windows 10 due out real soon, will you be continuing to upgrade using DX11 or will you be moving to DX12 which supposedly will offer better graphics performance?

When will we be able to dye the High Allagan set of gear?

Are flying mounts really slower than ground mounts on the ground?

Will there be more housing added to the game?

Are there any plans for increased HUD scaling? At 4k resolution my UI becomes really tiny

It's been a looonnng time since particular server housing areas are full.

While we're aware that hosting housing areas takes up an incredible amount of space, there are also housing plots (and precious server space) that are wasted on players who have quit or no longer wish to utilise the house they have bought but are scared of just giving up the plot. There is no good way to sell a housing plot to other players apart from hope no-one else is around when you release the plot for the other player.

Is there a way to maybe introduce a maintenance system where players pay a small upkeep of the property that if not paid for a few weeks basically puts the property up for sale or auction? And maybe gives the "afk" player a cut of the re-sold profits?

Or even a "For Sale" system where players can sell their plots to others without the risk. And just make sure players can't own more than one plot and one guild plot at a time.

That way housing will become more readily available to current active players, housing areas will become more populated, and players who have quit for an amount of time and return still receive "something" for losing their property.

It's a huge problem that is consistently requested to be adjusted. This will also introduce a new gil sink that, when players start maxing out their characters again, will be missing.

1.) How are Warriors supposed to stand on equal footing with other tanks, since it is now confirmed that healing abilities won't work on them? This is a significant nerf to Defiance.

You lose 20% healing as a scholar every time you use a healing ability on a Warrior compared to a Paladin or Dark Knight, and there is no other single target emergency heal on Scholars. If we used all stacks of Aetherflow on healing abilities, that is a total loss of 60% across three spells on a Warrior.

2.) How is Dissipation useful in emergency situations then if you have a Warrior?

Divine Seal is stronger than Dissipation, and has no negative lockout.

I feel like the development team is overlooking how Scholar and Warriors are having trouble working together now, when they worked nicely together in the past.

When will we get the new artifact gear?

Can you please remove WM once in for all so so that Bards could just keep their mobility and keep everything the same?

How difficult is the planned difficulty of Savage Alexander, and is there any plans to make a third, harder tier of raids? Savage Second Coil is some of my favourite content because even top groups with the best gear could spend days or weeks learning the fights and I'm worried that Savage Alexander will be cleared in under a week, similar to how Final Coil was.

Any updates to the Experience from Battlecraft leves, the current XP is very lackluster when leveling other jobs. Also a GC daily turn in for combat classes of items that are dropped from combat mobs would be nice too.

When will we be able to earn the new artifact gear, and what I assume to be the new relic weapons from the Job Actions video?

Will there be anything to adjust with mudra lag?

Will non tanks ever get a class mount?

Are there any plans for new ex horses? We all want a thornmarch one!

Any plan for special mounts? For example I'd love to have a valefor mount or even a minion

There are some recipes (such as Emerald Soup) that require scrip items to craft which are impossible to craft at their levels since they are below level 56. Can these recipes be adjusted so that do not require scrip ingredients which can't be attained at that level?

Are there plans to fix the issues with the wedding rings where some partners are not able to teleport to their partner?

Due to lower level dungeons, 24-man raids and main scenario areas such as Castrum Meridianum being less populated making it harder to achieve Triple Triad Cards, will you be making it easier to obtain cards such as Gaius Van Baelsar from the Indolent Imperial easier to obtain?

Backstory - Not obtained Gaius from Preatorium yet regardless of multiple runs with hour long queues, and gained a total of 70k MGP from the Indolent Imperial thus far.
