Lack of Heavensward PlayStation Trophies

PlayStation trophies are more important than in-game achievements for a lot of PlayStation users and many feel disappointed that you didn't add any for the Heavensward expansion. Could you please add PlayStation trophies for Heavensward? PlayStation Nation demands it!

[Keltraeng]

Are their currently any plans to reevaluate the amount of damage dark knights can mitigate or is this working per design.

[Keltraeng]

What are your plans with how PvP works in the near future? Will we ever get open world PvP?

[Dischordia]

When are we going to be getting the opportunity to move up in our Grand Company ranks?

[VarinaVashai]

with character animations there is a limitation stated due to ps3.

But with the additions of /cpose and other animations, new jobs etc. Will you ever create combat animations that are different for each race/gender for the platforms that doesnt suffer from limitations.

Are there plans to buff or otherwise adjust Dark Knight abilities? Currently they are underperforming compared to other tanks with less mitigation and longer cooldowns, as well as having abilities broken due to bugs.

Are there plans to buff or otherwise adjust Bard and Machinist abilities (or any of the new classes) as all of the mentioned are very known to underperform.

More monk ideas gather here from the lodestone forum introduced by your monk community, I'll list a bunch of ideas. Here we go.

1) make meditation on its separate CD and not with weapon skill
2) give each stack more of a use, example 1 stack increase attack speed 2 stack damage up 3 tp per hit 4 hp up 5 death( consuming 5 stacks for using forbidden chackra to perform massive dmg in trade of 50% of hp
3) gain stack per grease lighting charge
4) gain chakra stacks similar to how wrath is obtain
5) similar skill to a warrior, 1 button grants 5 stacks
6) lower it 3 and not 5
7) grants stacks per crit hit
8) if no changes for meditation bring the potency back for forbidden chackra and tornado kick.

Here's how you can make like a warrior in terms of buff. Meditation like defiance. Give all of the elemental stance to meditation( 5% dmg increase speed and defense increase) and able to generate chakra per weapons skill use, similar to defiance. And give mantra the ability to give us 5 chakra when activated, again similar to that of a warrior ability gaining 5 stack of wrath in one button. This will also reduce skill bloating. Also no mnk once they hit 50 uses wind and earth stance. We only use the fire.
All of this ideas which can implemented are all ideas from the monk community. Please yoshi do some about with meditation its a very horrible skill.

Will we see adjustments made to FATEs in the new HW areas? Currently their EXP is fairly low for the amount of time/effort involved compared to in ARR. In ARR we had more of a balance of running dungeons/leves/FATEs but now it feels like dungeons are the only way to go.

[Vegettosky]

Wouldn't it be cool if we had an easy way to freeze the game in action and really drink in all those shiny graphics?
which also brings with it the ability for players to manually change the time of day, tweak other stuff as well, like adding Instagram-like visual filters and dropping the virtual camera's f-stop way down in order to get arty, close-up shots

[zuzu-bq]

Abilities like Defiance that change the amount of cure recieved are not working on other abilities that has heal based on potency like Lustrate, Tetragrammaton and others. Is that working as intended?
