The Letter is up

[Tempestmoon]

I think everyone needs to just settle down, relax and be a litte more patient. There are alot of other things in the works that will probably be attached to this patch, like all the encampments, remember those? companies? remember those? along with more quests... This patch is going to be packed and I can't wait! In a couple months time you're going to be complaining because you don't know what to do first.

and always remember, You know you love the game, you know you're going to keep playing, quit your bitching because it's still FREE!

Go Square go!

Two endgame dungeons, almost forced from all the yelling and whining, even though we are not at the "end of the game". Two endgame dungeons that will be useless and abandoned as soon as the level cap is raised up to where it will remain for the game's duration.

Yes, exactly. As any game designer knows, a successful game is only successful if you are grinding nonstop for MONTHS to get to max level just to begin PLAYING THE ACTUAL GAME. These new-fangled ideas of "content" and "fun things to do in between" are so crazy!

Can you feel the sarcasm?

If anything they should decrease level cap to R30 and still keep adding stuff because at the moment there is barely enough content in the game to warrant 30 ranks worth of playtime, let alone 50 ranks. Let alone a raise in cap!

There holding stuff back I bet. You dont think its just those 2 weapon skills do you...? They will release more info as it gets closer to release.

Expect all the classes get there own WS.

What do you think there motion tracking programmers have been doing what for the longest time anyway before lanuch?
I bet theres a ton of FFXIV related stuff thats been created but needs programing on.
I bet they have tons of enemys and landscapes there holding back.

They didnt want to fix a huge mess with its currect gameplay problems so they didnt release anything new till they needed to fix.

So once they fix all there problems expect a big expation pack of alot of stuff after a few months of extra updates.

I hope they add something to the materia system then just a useless menu screen at its 1.18 patch.

Like I mentioned to someone else about the Materia system I hope they can have combin effects like in FF7.

Equip Ability/Spell into one slot and Materias in another slots.

Fire+ All Materia= Fire Aoe (double slot)
Fire+ Elemental Plus= Stronger Fire (double slot)
Sneak Attack+ Dex Plus+10%= Stronger Sneak Attack (Double Slot)
Sneak Attack+Dex Plus+10%+Atk Behind= Stronger Sneak Attack (Tripple Slot)

Crafting Materia system shoulnt be just 1 craft or its own but should be shared with all crafts.
Gathering classes should be the main focus for gathering items for Materia.
There should be a huge crystal cost for making Materia like... 500 shards, 200 crystals, 100 clusters depending on the materia.

Materias should be tradble till they get EXP or AP on them and become none tradble.

I get such a kick out of these people that think there is some massive content patch that SE is holding back.

Blow those birthday candles out and make a wish upon a star while crossing your fingers hugging a bible and knocking on wood.

Keep reaching for that rainbow.

What we are getting is what they got.

[Teknoman]

The instanced dungeons added ARE NOT for end game. There will be one level 30 dungeon for light parties, and one level 50 dungeon for full parties.

loving the new battle system!

[charliesheen]

I'm just giving people what I guess they want, I just don't know if everyone can handle it. I’m on a quest to claim absolute victory on every front. I'll need to search through the letters and dev. notes to find where it was said, so I will return... with another violent torpedo of truth!

That doesn't mean that there wouldn't be a easy way around that. If it's too hard to change the linkshell system, make a new one and abolish the old one. Just brick and mortar the abillity to actually obtain linkshells and force people to use the new improved system.

Not the most "stylish" choice but it's better than just saying "well we can't change it." Considering we could technically listen to over thousands of people in one place means that it's not linked to some hard cap on how many people we can listen to at once. If the demand is strong enough once the bigger changes roll out I'm positive SE can and will find a way around the current limitations or just make a new system and block the old from being used.

[charliesheen]

The warlock has failed. I am unable to find where I read the comments about linkshells. All I could fine was various "difficult to implement" comments regarding other items of a similar nature.

In anycase, as other posters have commented that particular thing is not top of their priority list. Even if it wasn't, if the programming was sound, you wouldn't expect it to be difficult to implement and therefore not required to be top of their priorities. But I will cease with the guess-work and bid you all adieu for now on this topic.
