The Heavensward Site Has Been Updated!

[TheRogueX]

I mean... We're almost two months away from a release and we have yet to receive any kind of specific information concerning the expansion.

What are the actual abilities of these new jobs?

It's not 100% necessary for us to know that until closer to the release.

What are the new abilities for current jobs?

See above.

Are we getting a dungeon akin to Crystal Tower again?

They have said that there will be something like it later on in the 3.0 patch cycle, but not specifically what it was. They implied it would be something new to FF though.

What exactly are the new rules for the new version of Frontlines?

Again, not really necessary for us to know this yet.

Why did the class system get dropped for the new jobs? Will it be dropped completely in the months coming?

They recognized that the class system, as it is, is flawed. The ACN/SMN/SCH issue is the main reason. These jobs are 'extra' jobs, and they're classless probably so that SE can figure out how to fix the existing system without completely abandoning it.

What are the new crafting abilities and what kind of implications does "specializing" have?

The exact abilities don't need to be known yet. As for Specializations, they've implied that it will be necessary to craft the highest tier items of any specific DoH class.

What are the new LB3s for each of the jobs?

This one is, indeed, a good question. All we've heard about is the Astrologian one.

What are their current plans for housing as far plots and wards go? Do they plan to add more to meet the high demand?

They're not releasing more wards at this time. They've said they intend to in the future.

What exactly are "high level levequests" - what makes them different from a normal levequest?

What have they learned from 2.0 - 2.55 about FATE design and how is it improved in 3.0 from the total zerg fest that it once was?

These are good questions, too, that have yet to be answered really.

What other primals, if any, are to be introduced with the expansion?

We know about Ravana and Bismark. I'm sure there will be others.

Will we be able to join one of the four great houses of Ishgard?

THIS is the question of the hour, as far as I'm concerned. I really want to know if we'll be able to.

What exactly are Grand Companies for, aside from Frontline teams? Will they be expanded upon in 3.0 and how?

GCs are more story than anything, I think. Though apparently they're talking about letting us recruit NPC soldiers to run low-level dungeons with us, in order to help people clear story dungeons without having to sit in the queues forever.

Will we be able to join one of the four great houses of Ishgard?

If we are, I'm totally joining that dude who has been our BFF since we met him. I think he's from House Fortemps.

The guy that *spoilers*

gave us refuge and friendship after everyone else turned on us. He rocks.

What exactly are "high level levequests" - what makes them different from a normal levequest?

Ever lv 50-55 leves or something like the faction leves from 1.x
If faction leves, then i hope those where you need a party.

Will we be able to join one of the four great houses of Ishgard?

I doubt it. We also can't join the Seedseers or the Knights of the Barracuda and can't buy a seat in the Syndicate.
