4.2 Updates from Q&A with Yoshida

[Alleo]

Well consider this, how many people would get that 3rd free retainer? i would bet its all of the players making for like 100k extra retainers. how many paid retainers are there? considering the sentiment i see a lot i would say less then that, way less. This is just pure speculation though, you can also say that paid retainers help to pay for more/better servers. Shure i would like a free one extra i just dont say its pure greed without knowing the precise situation.

Its still a bad argument because theoretically lots of people could buy paid retainers and thus the server would explode. I am also quite sure that nobody would complain about one more free retainer that would be given to us without any cost. There are probably more than enough people buying extra retainers or they would not even consider adding more. If they were nice they could have given us one more free retainer per expansion but we only got paid ones. Its time for them to give us one for free, especially with more and more people having storage problems.

(Fantasia, name change, retainers and more should theoretically pay for better services..yet EU got a couple of servers only (which are not enough) and NA servers changed the place which made it worse for a part of the NA playerbase.) Selling even more retainers for money in a game where glamour is part of the endgame and where storage is so short and where we pay for a sub is greed. People are not asking for five more retainers per person. If the servers cant handle one more free retainer than its truly time for them to change their server..because that would just lead to more problems along the way.

That bit about healers is so false it's insulting.

Sometimes I get the feeling that they dont understand the problems..or dont care at all. I mean this feels like its better to have overpowered healers than fixing it so that you stand a chance with any party..how is it fair that you are already at a disadvantage if you have less healers in your party? So instead of wanting the people to play the job that they want, they feel its better to "force" people into playing healer because otherwise they would not even stand a chance..if healers dont want to play pvp otherswise they might have to change PVP a bit..but in a way that allows people to play the job they want..

But seeing their answer to the hunt problem..well I should not be surprised at all. x)

EU doesn't need more servers at this point, there are several servers that are complete ghost towns, so unless this changes no extra EU servers.
What I do want is better hardware/quality servers.

The last data showed that all EU servers are really full, only one single new server was under 10k..they might not be that full right now (between patches) but if another patch starts and people come back we will have problems again..now look at the numbers of people per japanese server..we need more servers to handle new players otherwise we will hit another limit soon.

Questions to Yoshida on Anima server

[Alien_Gamer]

Q. When are you adding new tanks and healers?
A. I cannot say anything about new jobs、or else i'd lose my life. They might even need to erase the Anima server to hide the secret.

I love it when he makes these kinds of answers.

[Ghastly]

The marketing team is scary.

I'm just gonna say hooray for Sigmascape being of equal difficulty. As someone who can't join a static, this is fantastic.

Q. What happened to the male bunny outfit?
A. We are slowly working on it, but having it fit all races was harder than we expected.

Like really? Is it that hard?? xD

Its just like, is it one poor guy who got the short straw and has to fix it whenever he got some time free? xD

To be fair, they have to adapt the costumer for the male races, and then make them fit on each races skeleton. I imagine its a lot of work for male Roe :P
