Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XVI- "The Future of FFXIV"

[Jacost]

So, we have our answers. They didn't say anything about radar apps, or a whole lot about rebalancing Frontlines at all, they just plan to add more maps at some point. As well as make glamours usable there, and rebalance the PvP equipment to make it actually usable.

In other news, there's a few small things: they'll be rebalancing dungeon loot so that mats drop less often compared to equipment (yay!), adding more bosses with random elements in the future (tentative yay), increasing the rewards for daily marks (big yay!), allow saving of PvP hotbars (yay!), and they're looking into ways to sign up for CT as an alliance (yay!).


And then there's the big issue: The Hunt. I've already mentioned that they're going to increase the rewards for daily marks, which is certainly a positive thing. They said that they're looking into ways to make the elite marks not die so quickly that doesn't involve just increasing their HP again. Which basically means that they most likely have no intention of revamping the whole system, or removing sands or oils from the reward list. I guess it won't matter so much come 2.4, but that's three months off. At least they're doing something, I guess.

Welp, that was very misleading "Future of FFXIV" the topic was barely touched. Only thing we got was "They have plans up to patch 4.0"

Mine as well not have had the live letter at all. :/

Any insight on personal housing ?

Boring and not informative, as always. And instead of actually fixing the hunts, they add even more rewards to them. Again showing the middle finger to those who can't participate in hunts. Great job.

They are going to make the daily board hunts more rewarding...which helps a lot of us if isnt something tiny.

What's stopping you from participating in the hunts? Can you not log in or something?

Why do I get the feeling that this will be actually what happens.
I am really disappointed that they barely addressed the massive issues going on with the hunt system and that their only immediate solution is "increasing daily seal rewards"
They'd have to increase it to 50 to even come close to what the zergfest groups are getting from the A/S rank monopolization.


....or they could just add sands to Syrcus Tower....ಠ_ಠ
