Players who didn't notice that this was a Q&A with the head lore writer just after the release of a new expansion with a lot of in-depth story developments? That was always clearly going to be the focus of this particular event.

They have limited time and there are so many more lore questions that got asked and liked and didn't get answered.

Nice job! Glad I didn't really mess anything up but this is way better~! lol. I got your back for speed, and you'll hit the quality . Also glad I wasn't the only one to have trouble hearing some of what was said, makes me feel less crazy.

I'm not shocked it was only lore but unless I'm blind, has happened, it would have been nice to be told only lore questions will be answered. At least previously they'll tell people if they're going to focus on a narrow set of questions (before the event I had figured it was going to be general game questions fielded by Yoshi and some lore by Oda, although I guess an hour isn't that long for both :3).

Like I said it's fine because it does make some sense, it isn't out of the blue lol, but there was a sort of hope it might be more than just lore (at least for me ). It's fine I've got my questions ready for copy pasta!

Thank you. I wasn't sure if anyone was covering it so I went down the road and tried to listen to what has been said. Unfortunately, their microphones weren't picking up every word clear enough to make a 100% full transcript but I think I was able to deliver the vast majority of what has been said during the Q&A.

Healer questions were never going to get answered, but the point of posting a few healer questions and upvoting them through the roof was to demonstrate that there are still healers who have questions they’d very much like to know the answers to. We achieved that, with the top 4 most upvoted questions being about healers, and the top healer question having more than twice as many upvotes as the top non-healer question. Hopefully next time they are answering questions about jobs they will finally answer some healer concerns.

Thanks for the transcript.
