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

[Aldotsk]

• Musketeer's been announced to be released since 1.0 and has not appeared for many patches. When will it be? Is it going to be 2.2 or 2.3? Or have the developers forgot about Musketeers completely?
• Is the rumor of Gold Saucer true? If so, which patch can we expect this content?
• Can the loot system be more fair to players? If the leader can distribute it to the designated person during the pre-made dungeons/Coil?
• If there was a loot mistake, can the players trade the item to the person within 24 hours as long as they were in the same pre-made dungeon/Coil/Crystal Tower?
• Will people not need gears for Coil Turn 1 - 5 if the gears are going to be enhanced in new dungeon and new Coil?
• The housings for free company is still not filled. Is there a way to have players buy the houses without any trouble on gaining money? (discounts or price downs again)?

Do you have any plans to add functionality to the following Warrior abilities: Fracture, Steel Cyclone, Bloodbath?

- Yes, Fracture is very TP efficient when considering DPS, however it has no Tank utility. It would be great for this to place a Slow on the enemy, thereby increasing our versatility versus Paladins.

- Steel Cyclone received a much needed update in 2.1, however players have to choose between mitigating damage with Inner Beast or using an ability which Overpower can substitute for, Steel Cyclone. Giving Steel Cyclone a Bloodbath effect or small mitigation increase, even 10%, would increase its usage by a wide margin.

- Bloodbath is essentially a trivial cooldown at this point. Please consider changing this to an AoE buff in order to benefit those in Melee range (i.e. Dragoons and Monks).

Please add the ability to mount chocobo companions without dismissing them from the field. This would make it more convenient to use them.

EDIT: Never mind!!! Per Hvirine on 2/25, RonPaulItsHappening.gif

If my chocobo is summoned and I go to town, I cannot then use the chocobo porter without walking outside, dismissing my chocobo, and then going back in. Please address this.

Gathering leveling takes SO LONG, even with leves and Grand Company issued manuals.

Can you please increase the base XP of gathering? Gathering leves is a waste and we're gathering too many items to sell on the market board. It's really taking a toll on the economy and making it unstable.

[Cutriss]

Please consider adding an inventory tab specifically for holding fishing tackle.

Will future updates or expansions restore our ability to access other parts of Coerthas and/or Western Tinolqa (Crimson Bark/Emerald Moss)?

Could we make Dungeon gear sellable? I believe it would give many more people a desire to jump in the lower level dungeons if that gear could be sold to players, decreasing wait time for those trying to level their characters.

EDIT: I don't mean to confuse selling with turning it in for Seals at Grand Companies. There may be one dungeon that allows you to sell to 'players', but it's not every dungeon. I was bringing up the fact that not all dungeon gear can be sold, and thought it could be an improvement to allow this.

Just wanted to say I disagree with this. People already join Halatai (A lvl 20 instance) because it is sellable on the market board and I've seen level 50/ everything come in and need roll a drop they don't need just so they can sell. (and have admitted to it.) (Sorry for posting a reply - I know your not supposed to.)
Edit ^: I meant selling on Aunction house. These green gears are sold on market board price at 30k+. because people are cray cray. (It's not just halatai DD gear at 44 is sold at 60-70k)

It's unjust to allow level 50 characters to come mow down a low level dungeon instance to TAKE from lower levels that NEED it so they can sell gear.

When on a crafting class, please make it easier to see what equipment in the Armory Chest is repairable by that class.
