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

When will the issues with lag and Level3 be addressed? No other MMO I have ever played has the lag I experience with FFXIV. Other users are experiencing it as seen by other posts on the forums, yet Square Enix has yet to acknowledge that it is an issue. Instances and Fates are unplayable and progression can't be made.

Have you thought of adding BCNMs to the mix something that is not Primals but has a very good challenge and a possible Rare/Ex drop. There is currently nothing in the game where you say man he got that Ultra Rare drop like a Kraken Club, Ridill, something of this nature. Extreme Primals is fine but seems like replayed content and will be fun maybe a few times and people will lose interest.

I know fates are fun and all but 16 man dungeons(premade groups) would give the FC something to do, seeing as CT is 8 man >> 16 PUG group...

Will obsolete gear such as old Darklight and Primal weapons be trade-able for seals? How about for tomestones?

[Duuude007]

What kind of new features and seal sinks will be in GC ranks implemented at 2.1?

Is there any timeframe on world transfers (paid or unpaid, anything works!) being opened from Legacy to non Legacy servers? I missed the initial free transfer, and I'm currently held up on a JP Legacy server, with my old FFXI LS on a non Legacy server (most of them moved).

Thank you!

there seems to be no where in the forums where the UI director has said anything about this. But will we be able to turn off the extra battle text of people not in our party and as an additive turn off the scrolling text in party too. For example in party I only really want to see people getting healed by the healers and that's all. I find it very hard to distinguish my damage and debuffs from everyone elses since it's all jumbled up in one spot.

Will paladins get a buff on the ability cover, considering I'd only use it on the healer when they receive hate the range at which it's effective (6 yalms) is very small. No healer stands that close to me and I can't effectively use the ability the cool down is also to long for an ability I may need to use multiple times such as the rock elemental monster in Temple of Qarn which has a broken hate table. Also can paladins and all healer classes gain the ability to raise in combat?

[Liniont]

This item would be helpful to add in keeping the flow of battle going if the main healers die. A DPS or off tank can resurrect the healer and prevent a whip. You can put restrictions on it such as a 10 to 15 minute cool down and you can only contain 1 on your person at all times. This would bring a great strategic advantage to party play and or allow other none healing classes to aid in resurrecting important rolls when they fall from a mistake. it's been used in almost every final fantasy and I think it would prove very useful in A realm reborn.

Will I finally be able to move to a new server from a legacy server?... cuz like its been HALF A FREAKIN YEAR

December'll be 5 months. They said it'll be at least 6, expect it between January & March.

Will there be new spells added to current classes like a dragon pet for dragoon. Or a leviathan egi

Leviathan egi'll come when we fight him, same with Ramuh. And I think they said something about no SMN-style pet for DRG.
