Producer Live Questions that have already been answered.

Funny, the same can be said about the Official Questions thread, pretty sure there is someone named syntaxlies in there spamming it up with his crybaby posts.

[Dhalmel]

with so many users having to use utorrent or a 3rd party site to update, I'm surprised I was the only one who asked about the client updater/launcher.

[Estellios]

Pretty sure it's because they touched on that in a previous live letter =P

I at least remember something involving the updater but it's been a while. The updater will definitely be an entirely new thing presumably without the crappy coding of the current one.

Definitely a neat idea for a thread! One thing I would recommend you all do is to read over the current questions in the thread and hit the "Like!" on ones you agree with. We're doing our best to compile them and get them translated, but we definitely want to see the number of likes that each question gets (of course that doesn't instantly guarantee it will be answered :P).

Head over to the thread and start likin'!

Will gear dying work on items such as af, sentinels, and yellow/green drops?

You will not be able to dye AF gear.

While i appreciate the idea of the thread af was only one component of my question and in the last dev post regarding gear dying i read there wasn't much information other than a wider variety of color options being available. but still offers no answer on whether my sentinals or other greens/yellows will be dyeable (explorer's tunic's / tabards / militia robes for example)

Will you please consider allowing us to change starting city for some of us who want to switch.

I was skimming through the questions thread and saw this one.

Just in case you didn't know, what city each class starts in will be locked to that class, since you won't be able to change classes until level 10 and will need to have access to its guild (so for example, all conjurers will start in Gridania). Yoshi has stated already that your company allegiance will pretty much be your national allegiance, and it's been confirmed that we'll be able to change companies in 2.0. So you just have to change companies if you want to be part of a different nation and their storyline.

^^^ This isn't the thread for questions Ingolf

Are the development team considering lightening up the amount of text players have to read for simple quest?

This was actually answered in the localization forum, I believe. Currently the way the game is set up is that each language has to use the same number of dialog boxes/times you have to confirm to advance the dialog. So for example, if the Japanese dialog takes up 4 dialog boxes, the English one needs to use the same amount of dialog boxes as well even if it would take up more or less text to get the message across. This is why some npcs end up talking foreeever and you have to confirm a million times to get through their dialog.

Yes it is dumb and will be gotten rid of in 2.0 so characters can sound more natural.

Doh, my bad. Excuse my derp

I knew someone would pick my question for here and not understand. Yoshi-p said you can't change your starting city in 2.0 when we can remake our char. I was asking him can he please reconsider that becuase i myself would like my start city to be Gridania. I always like that storyline and how npcs are but pick diff because the area sucked.

All i want is to switch my starting city over to gridania and he said we wont be allow too so i asking for him to consider changing his mind.

Starting cities will be decided by your first job class - and they really dont matter anymore.

So.. dont worry about it lol. Unless you are talking about Grand Companies, which still do matter. And you can change those in ARR . . . So.. dont worry about it ^_^ lol
