Do the live letters from the producer really help us as much as we'd like them to?

Dissipation - this move is okay, highly situational, but okay, yhe real issue is once the move is gone and how you get back into your normal groove. People have stated that maybe you automatically switch to the other fairy to encourage swappin, allow for an mp free summon or an mp fueled instant summon. The Fairy is part of your resources and once she is gone you "have" to get her back, but the price to get her back outweights the slight increase you had for 30 seconds.

I will say that Dissipation is far more useful than I initially gave it credit for after unlocking it. Namely because of the fact that it doesn't JUST boost your healing, but it also instantly brings you back to a full stack of Aetherflow. This can be a life saver for the party, and is frankly more useful in and of itself than the boosted healing. As for getting your fairy back, well it's a simple case of having to use your swiftcast and resummon. If you're in a situation where that isn't possible, (IE had to Swift-Raise and it's still on cooldown), then that's simply the risk that you had to take when using Dissipation. When you used the skill, you felt that the situation demanded the extra Aetherflow and the boosted healing, more than it demanded maintaining your Fairy's presence. As for the MP issue, any MP you have to use to resummon, you would have had to use even more to preform the same amount of healing without the boost and Aetherflow from Dissipate....

Basically I think we just want this:

[WARNING: The following video this link points to contains explicit language. Probably NSFW]

Just an assurance that it is either DEFINITELY going to happen OR NOT. And if they're not sure, tell us that too.

Nothing more infuriating than hearing a "maybe" that sounds like a "yes".

They should be made already? o.o Hang on, where is that from? Because last I remember hearing was that they hadn't started working on it yet. In any case though - DWT is nice, but it takes the job from "DoT-whore" to "shapeshifter". Overall, to me at least, it still feels detached from what a summoner should be.

GC Ranks

Was just mentioning this in another thread, in regards to being able to exchange Law gear for GC seals. That 50k seal limit has been unchanged since launch, and we've had items exchanging for close to / more than 1k seals a piece, with nary a new thing to buy with them......

More Inventory - there should be a method of increase the space to some degree without implying that we have to pay for it

There is. In short and above all else, reduce the clutter. There's so much of it, our inventories could feel practically empty if they just did that.

Class/Job Abilities - need some acknowledgement regarding possible changes.

Keyword. Right. There. Acknowledgement. So many issues that have been quite major for so long, (seemingly, as far as we know) not even getting acknowledged that it really is frustrating.

And that's the key point in the live letters: from a smidgen of two-way communication, they've become showcases. And while there is nothing wrong with showcases, I mean it's not a question that new things need to be shown off from time to time, especially before releases - the fact that they are now almost exclusively just displays instead of discussions and such, well... I can't even remember the last time there was an "ask questions you liked to be answered" thing here that actually happened too and we got answers to the questions. Questions that, honestly, shouldn't even be asked: keeping an eye on the forums should give them the general idea of what the players, those who come here at least, are mostly concerned about at any given time - they could simply plan discussions around these themselves. But no, it's more important to tease people with shinies which then end up being Moogle Shop additions (COUGH eternal bonding extras COUGH) - or are, admittedly, from the start, Moogle Shop additions. Or, y'know, gated behind multiple layers of RNG and/or such insane requirements that they don't become actual, viable additions for most of the playerbase until several months down the road, possibly until (/ well into) even the next patch.

Personally, I think it's a quite sad problem indeed.

regarding Dissipation

I just want to make it clear I personally don't mind the move, I rarely use it and when I had to, it wasn't an issue for me. I still don't care for it, but I'm more indifferent now. I'm just relaying the issues I've heard about this move, that I can relate to, because I play this job too. I can't talk or defend monk or ninja issues because I don't play that job.

That being said, I personally would rather this move be like a Scholars version of Enkindle, but I might be in the minority.

try checking the "supprt" and "dev" taps in the upper right corner then have infact adressed each of these, its just people don't like the answer sand think being more vocal will change their mind. It infact doesn't and if you look it up a forum gm and cm stated don't keep bringing up the same issue after a responce, it dpoes nothing but cause forum spam.

Could you be more specific about where you've seen these kinds of responses, and to what exactly. Not saying that they haven't given responses, but vague responses are different from, "hopeful" ones, or ones that outright say yes or no. But, if there is an ongoing issue, that a lot of people keep bringing to light, then any establishment, not just SE, needs to make adjustments.

Additionally not everyone checks the forums so placing these responses in another medium isn't a bad thing.
