Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XII! (General)

Amdapor is making a new appearance soon, so can we expect to see Sil'dah and Sharlyon before long as well?

[ShadowDan]

Are you planning on adding a card game?

[ShadowDan]

When will we see the next stage of Crystal Tower?

Already announced for 2.3

The *Ready Check!!* Feature from World of Warcraft would be a great implementation.

I'm surprised this hasn't been asked... We've all have had the dilemma of one person being AFK, while everyone else is ready to go. To save us the hassle of a manual process of elimination- please add a feature indicating who is AWAY. Are there plans to add this feature in the future? It would be greatly appreciated!

Already in the game. If you edit your search infor by clicking yourself in the party members list, you can set your status to afk or whatever you want.

Will there ever be a way to turn off the glow for Zenith weapons

-Will there be any changes regarding the global cooldown so that the game has a faster pace? I rarely have any problems with it, but sometimes it's just a bit akward to see my character standing there doing nothing while waiting for the global cooldown to pass. I think many people feel this way, so can/will you maybe change it in the future? Once again, I don't really mind.

-Also, will enemies drop more gill in the future, because when I look at the housing price, I believe we can use it.

-Will you add more weapon models in the near future? Because i've had the same lance model for a long time now. It would be great if there were more different models at low levels.

-Will you add more classes/jobs with swords? And will certain classes be able to wear different types of weapons?

Why can't the Chimera and Hydra fights be in the Duty Finder? Why should anyone need to use shouts or the party finder to do these fights? It's just a boss fight, no different than the primal fights. SO, why not just que in and do it?

This has already been announced for 2.2

Forgive me if this has been asked, read through the first 5 pages.

I've been bothered greatly by the response to crafting by the developers on these forums concerning their role. You've put in place a fantastic crafting system, I would hate to see this content not evolve. So I have a few questions regarding this issue, and for the time being I'm disregarding housing/furniture.

1. What can we expect to see from crafters in the future? Will a system such as abjurations, materia melding (on endgame gear) or enchanting be introduced? Making them more viable?

2. Right now leveling a crafting job is too easy. In Tanaka's 1.0, he had mentioned specializing in crafts. So you could only take one class 50+. Are there any plans in ARR for a system like this?

3. Any plans on slowing the leveling process? (see above)

4. Any plans on perhaps adding recipes, rare materials or other items to endgame dungeons that crafters can use? Thus making them more involved in endgame activities.

Are there any planes to add more FC focused content and proper raiding like in other MMOs?
The current 8x content in coil is splitting up FCs and makes it hard to fill a proper group with the restriction imposed by design.
While we know that CT will get a mechanic that you can actually enter with a premade easier, is there more, new content coming that enables 24x for FCs to enjoy the content together? Or even contested content?

Can we have level i90 crafting recipes drop in coil, that you can only craft for yourself, this way you could still be locked out for loot drops but be able to keep doing coil the same week and encoruage people to adopt a crafting class.
