Discussion for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XX

[Hyrist]

Congratulations Square-Enix for taking everything I loved about FFXIV and getting rid of it.

Closing account.... now.

May want to narrow your reasoning down to something that can be responded to. I'm taking a wild guess and thinking you may be made at the Specialist system? Not sure why this is such a critically breaking issue.

So they stated that there will be new gear/armor for the new jobs. So for instance, can we assume that the tank/healer gear that some have been stockpiling for these new jobs will be unusable? If so, I have a boatload of gear to trade in for seals or Desynth once I reach the necessary Desynth level.

heavensward is way too far still.... ><

Syncing to lowest IL new players answers has been answered XD

wait, can you go into this a bit more? Are we going to be forcibly ilevel synched to the lowest ilevel player, or is this an option like a Mentor system? Because personally I may not do non-party roulettes anymore if they try to synch me down to half my ilevel just to help out new players.

I would asume it is for story missions and other non capped dungeons so that people won't speedrun and harrass newbies, other than that is optional for maxium experience with newguys

New Gear is likely to be referring to primarily weapons and single class sets (i.e. AF1, AF1.5 and AF2). Tank and Healer sets are likely to still be fine.

New Tomestones:

Tomestones of Law = Soldiery (unlimited)
Tomestones of Estoterics = Poetry (limit)

I'm guessing Poetics will remain for newer players when they reach Level 50.

its a option in the DF

as long as it's an option and not forced. :3 I work hard for my gear and want to use it. And I hope they keep us working for it.

Double staggered release for the Alexander Raid.

I'm glad they staggered the Esoterics tomestones. Gives plenty of time to try out all the classes 51+.
