Letter from the Producer LIVE 53: Ask Your Shadowbringers Questions!

[Entwysswyn]

Perhaps this might not be a valid question here, but in light of the news today of the Aug 29th change to Steam users, requiring them to use the Steam client in lieu of the non-Steam .exe, can you be certain that the performance issues people have with Steam will be resolved? The Steam client is widely disliked due to regular problems.

Better question yet... Can we detach our current account from Steam? Majority of the users like myself that has Steam avoid using steam for many reasons. This news was disappointing, and since it will be implemented, we want to switch product keys. CAN we just do that?

After playing healers in 5.05, I can confidently say that the majority of our gameplay has not change much at all. In optimal play, we still are pressing glare/broil/malefic for the majority of any encounter, and many players do not find this fun. Can this issue be addressed in the live letter?

[Lagomorph]

Aetherflow is still only usable in combat. This means that when I do dungeons as a scholar, I sometimes still want things to die slower so that I can use aetherflow before the next pull starts. Instead can you do something along the lines of making aetherflow have a much shorter recast if used out of combat in certain instances (mainly the raids)? This way there would be no need to wait for a cooldown before a pull starts, and scholars would still be able to use aetherflow normally in dungeons. I noticed a change similar to this was applied to monk's meditation skill.

With the reintroduction of energy drain, our uses for aetherflow are similar to what they were in stormblood with the exception of bane still being gone. While energy drain being back is very much appreciated, the aetherflow system as a whole just feels like a downgrade from what it was in stormblood because quickened aetherflow is still gone. Are there any plans to reintroduce this trait or something similar to it?

[Lagomorph]

Cure 3 has been one of the major strengths of a white mage for many years, but given the current expansion's fight design it has become a bit harder to use effectively. Can anything be done to increase its heal radius a by a small amount to make this skill usable in more than just a handful of situations?

[Veritas-Ancora]

Can you please make Free Company membership cross-server?

THIS WILL SAVE US SO MUCH HEADACHE!!!!!


We will totally repopulate the rest of the servers if you just let our players join from other servers and let them play there!!!

Sincerely, Gilgamesh.

Can you change the Disciples of the Hand and Land equipment to be equippable as example: Boltfiend's Swallowtail: "Disciples of War or Magic and WVR"

Would it be possible to add a display toggle of some sort for tails on miqo'te, au ra, and now hrothgar characters? Tails often clip through body pieces with long backs like capes, making them difficult to use for glamour!

I would like to also adress this question. Espcially when Crystal Exarch could hide his ears and tail. We want have this option too. (Cloaks looks very horible with those cliping tails)
