The description said Yoshi would talk about 3.1 and answer questions from the forums. I don't see a thread for questions from the forums so I'm going to post stuff here...
Keeping this short and sweet.
1. Please make all medicines more useful. Most are useless. I know you said you are rebalancing potions and ethers but the others need lots of helps too.
2. Future of gathering/crafting. Please give it more of a purpose.
3. love the new flying in new zones, it is way fun, but I miss being forced to explore the ground.
4. How is egi glamour coming along? I quickly got over that we are not getting new egi's but still need something other than just current ones.
5. New zones? Once we can ride our airships will we be going to totally new places?
6. Maybe new kind of instanced content that isn't a traditional dungeon but is more of a smaller instanced zone.
Just some ideas.

08-21-2015, 09:11 PMColorfulYou're still forced to explore on ground to gather the aether points, and do the quests required for it, otherwise I don't know what you're suggesting. The removal of flight, or maybe areas that don't allow it that aren't just city/town areas?Quote:

They barely even started on it, so I wouldn't hold my breath on them revealing anything substantial (aside maybe some concept planning/sketches) this soon. -

1) Please for the love of the twelve, make adjustments to legendary nodes for gathering.

08-22-2015, 02:15 AMKalleraMaybe said purpose shouldn't be so restricted behind class then; if it is such a purpose and not, say, an excuse?Quote:

I would love to hear more about a better variant to the Favors system.

Sometimes I wish that teleporting in cities were chocobo rides instead XD. Then I could see all the players along the way and maybe even learn of paths/shortcuts I wasnt aware of. Also, instead of listing the teleport points maybe bring up the map and allow us to click on the destinations...

Why does scholar Esoteric gear have so few points in crit, compared to AST and WHM? This is probably a "duhh" thing, but I figure I'd ask. All that spell speed is peculiar, when the class typically benefits more from critical rating.

Well hopefully they take questions from here:
Mine is:
There was mention of allowing players to open their personal houses to friends, will we also be able to do that with Alts also or will it just be people on the friends list? -

08-22-2015, 06:13 AMAeyisSpeak for yourself. It pleased a LOT of people as well. Flying adds very little to the game (this one or wow) if you cant even combat while flying.Quote:

The big question is, What will be this patch called? :o hmm.
-
08-22-2015, 06:53 AMAeyisThat's a difference of opinion. There were a number of vocal complainers, thats for sure. But many also appreciated the fact they could actually enjoy the overworld again.Quote:

Please change or remove the Aura on Darkside.
Please let us choose secondary stats on gear.
Please give Au Ra horn choices.
Please add strength to tank gear/vitality to all gear. -

And flying *does* add to the game, whether or not you choose to believe it. Adds an entirely new axis to game play(z), giving your ground to work with, so to speak, without boring things like elevators.
And I'm pretty sure the mass exodus wow had right about the time they'd announced there wasn't ever going to be flying, plus the reluctant reintroduction of it to enact damage control, had nothing to do with removing flight.
Riiight.
With me, it was the fact that ground mounts are slow as hell and their attitude in that they think they know what we find fun, but we don't, that was my final straw.Quote:
