Dissapointed With The Live Letter

[Nora_of_Mira]

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but Yoshi also seemed like he was on the offensive towards the playerbase in his answers. Regarding how difficult it is to get loot in the new content, he joked about people not be lucky enough to get drops / rolls. I don't want to directly quote, but the translation seemed pretty insensitive and like he didn't really care about player's concerns.

I can only read the translations and not watch the stream, but it didnt seem insensitive to me. He basically told the question asker that they might get nothing this week, but might get all the loot next week and this is this ultimately better in the long run as no loot will hit the floor any more due to being locked to role. If he thinks the playerbase is overreacting about this change, i agree with him.

this isnt to discuss missing genders. Like I said, they didnt give an awnser to that, and many other questions (that awnser wasnt even an awnser, it was simply a who knows)

Yes, but the reason they didn't give an answer is because they already gave it previously.

I think I said in the discussion over that letter that it sounded final and to not expect any further comment from them.

They can't be expected to answer the same question again at every Q&A session from here "until they finally add the missing genders", because that might literally be forever. And they have told us that.

I watched the live stream and read the live translations, so for sure I could totally be misreading his tone (I also do not speak Japanese so there's a huge gap in sarcasm etc). Like I said, from the gestures it didn't seem the same as the previous live letters. However, it's good to hear other's perspective in the tone of the letter - even if it is just from the translations. Thanks for the insight ^^

they didtn say not to expect more from them, they said we hope you can ebar with us, which means be patient, to me that sounds like we will get an awnser in the future. Again, it was to be expected from them not to awnser that, but it was kinda dissapointing nontheless. I dont expect to hear from that until FanFest of 6.0 when I think they will likely be released, but lets not go too into this topic. I simply sugest ppl not to expect anythign on this until 6.0

You put the metaphorical gun on the table and told people "There's a gun. We're not here to talk about it."

People are gonna talk about it.

oh please lets nto start with the missing genders passive aggresive-ness, we all know how this finishes.... *SIGH*

Well, I guess it's good to know that I wasted time and gil to get the required materials for crafted primal weapons. Time to sell now that they've hit an all time low price...

This isn't game breaking, but man it kinda hurts. I was looking forward to these so much. But I knew this was a possibility, so I guess I just need to keep myself focused on the future. There will be some great weapon designs available I'm sure.

Yoshi also looked extremely tired ( more so than usual), and he mentioned he lost weight from working out (it showed, he looks extremely thin). Maybe this has something to do with it?

I don't know, the tone of this live letter seemed really off to me personally from previous installments. Previous letters seemed upbeat, fun, and playful (teasing things for future content, showing pictures, being more gracious towards the playerbase). This one seemed more defensive, standoffish, and just really flustered.

Yoshi also mentioned how he asked us to be more polite with our feedback, so maybe that has something to do with it too. I can't say I disagree with him.

They are starting development of 6.0 this month,on top of also finishing/adjusting the 5.x patches etc and hes also responsible for another game currently in development, he definitely has his hands full at the moment.

for once i personally didnt mind him being a bit insensitive,the LL was played out the "safe" way anyway. And they definitely will skip non polite/sarcastic "feedbacks",they arent pleasant to read nor they are obliged to answer them~
the Q&A Thread was far from polite anyway.

Hate to break it to you but you and your clique of people who are passionate about getting a male version of a race are the only ones who care about this. It's not a concern to anyone else. Everyone else has moved on from this "controversy" but you guys are still stuck in it. Let it go, be patient, etc.

First off all, they ignored some of the most liked questions like missingg genders and such, but that was expected.

Let's not, indeed.

Don't lead your post with a remark on it and then be surprised that people talk about it.

I'm not going to continue this thread of discussion, but you set the precedent from the beginning.

I really wished they would not have added Vieras at all so the dev team could have spend their time on other things e. g. DNC and GNB weapons or anything else.

If it wasn't viera we'd have female hrothgar not more dnc/gnb weapons.

I'm curious how many old tiers did people want them to add for the new jobs? I mean I'd like a few more but we have SB pvp weapons, shire weapons, ryumaki and scaevan weapons, SB leveling dungeon sets and crafted sets, I wouldn't mind one or two more like a GS one or GC ones but I'm surprised that people were expecting a lot more than this.
