CAN WE SEE THE NEW RACE

Spell speed is pointless on Summoners, why were Summoners given so much spell speed this patch?

[Deathscythe343]

Are there any plans to introduce to the game any type of alternate advancement system that players had in EQ1?

Link provided below to give people a basic understanding. The system was created to give players the ability to further improve their characters beyond just getting the best possible gear for them. It also gave players a reason to log in day after day aside from just maxing out their tomestones for the week.

Currently during North American primetime (~5PM-8PM PST), anyone that routes through Level3's servers experience large amounts of packet loss due to high traffic from other services that also route through Level3's servers. This issue has been confirmed by countless players with varying ISPs for quite some time now.

Are you aware that this is an issue? If so, are there any planned countermeasures to fix this?

the wolfden is a died instance, in chaos server, There is a rank restriction that make this instance very hard to get pop, the Ilevel80 synced version of wolfden make everyone to have a stuff balanced, why this version still have the rank restriction ?

A lot of us spend a fair amount of time doing content with our Chocobo'. While my Chocobo's rank is increasing (as is our bond), I find our strategies limited.

The number of times I've needed my Chocobo to heal and keep their distance like a normal healer, however, he just runs to me and then stands in the line of cleaves and enemy abilities. Even when DPS'ing my Chocobo will stand in AoE's.

Being able to micromanage our Chocobo's movements and abilities would be really advantageous to those that either choose to rely/depend on our Chocobo.

Q: Is there any chance we can get a little control over Chocobo placement/movement during battle (similar to the summoner pet bar) to help with strategies?

With 2.4 released, we got to see Ultros and Typhoon. Will we see other bosses or characters from previous Final Fantasy entries in future updates?

[Sekdatend]

Will there be any kind of class customization. Having everyone doing the exact same thing and same build really takes away from the adventurer and makes it feels very cookie cutter.

Will the soul crystal be this way through heavensward or do you plan to give it bonus's to the job beyond some higher stats.

Are there any plans to have large scale events similar to what happened before the ending of 1.0 and the similar events seen beore the Warlords of Draynor WoW expansion to bridge teh new Heavensward expansion to FFXIV?
