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

[FlanAki]

Will there be an adjustment to the atma drop rate from fates?
Having some people get lucky with all the atmas and already working on their animus within a few hours while most haven't gotten one after days or weeks of grinding fates.
How will people continue with the novus weapon if they're still trying to find their first atma drop?

[Zen_Thunderlove]

Well there be an opportunity for - at least - a one-time reset of your companion's skill points?

[Mrhappy1227]

Are ranked teams going to be introduced into The Wolves' Den?

[BiriKomori]

Are we going to be able to reset our chocobo skills some day?
Could a method be implemented where we can queue duty finder with our chocobos out but not "invited" to the content we queue?
I want to be able to do beastman dailies and gather ATMA with my chocobo along side me, while waiting on duty roulette. And as a DPS duty roulette can take a long time.

While you're constantly avoiding answering this I'd still like to ask anyway:

More than 5 months since the FC housing release the prices are still NOT affordable for the vaste majority FCs out there and all the promises of "re-evaluating" the house prices vanished in the thin air - are you planning to address this finally??

What are your thoughts on only being able to obtain two different ilvl110 armor sets from coil only? Why can't the casual player have non weathered armor while the hardcore players can have the high allagan armor for appearance.

Some players are using third party programs to track the behavior of bosses and play custom alert sounds/show countdowns to give them an edge on mechanics. There are plugins out there just for this on certain encounters, such as the "Twintania DBM app." To me, this seems like a clearcut case of cheating. Could you weigh in on this? And if possible, could you give us some idea of how restrictive the "add-on API" players claim you promised is going to be for similar things?

I'm worried about a third party programs "arms race" destroying the game the same way it destroyed WoW for me. Widespread DBM-style plugin usage is the one thing that would make me quit FFXIV right now. I'm afraid we're going in that direction and I'm hoping you'll take a hard line on this.

Will you please separate the status effects bar into two- buffs and debuffs? With so many boss mechanics involving debuffing the player, I would like to move the debuffs without moving the buffs in my UI. I am having a hard time putting them in a meaningful position as a single bar.

[Eekiki]

I'm guessing the next tier of Crystal Tower will be discussed in the 2nd iteration of this live letter?

[ThirdChild_ZKI]

Taking the visual/casting effect of Teleport and Return into consideration, would you consider (as a creative twist to mount design) adding the FFXII spell "Float" as a means of travel for us? I think it'd be quite cool, and still fitting with the lore if we could simply levitate and low glide around (kinda like Garuda or the Maidservants of Haukke)!
