Thread: Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XXVIII! (Exploring Patch 3.2)

You mentioned before that possibility of dueling in housing districts. Would it be possible to make a dueling arena where two people queued up in a party could fight one another in wolves den?

Novice Network has the potential to be used as "Global" kind of linkshell, since there's always at least 100 online people (in Zenith hours). This brings a lot of salty moments ("don't use it for offtopic chat", "only sprouts can ask questions here" etc.) and kills the atmosphere inside.

Linkshells provide us with maximum of 128 players, but online players are very often around 20.
Since Novice Network fills automatically, woudn't it be better to create "Global" linkshell players could join? Rotation for offline players and separation from Novice Network would allow to avoid argueing and grant the convinience, which Novice Network currently provides.

will the option to customize eye color ever become available through the Aesthetician? i find it is something every player would like to see considering the current costs of fantasia makes it difficult to change each time we are dissatisfied with our character's eye color.

As I run in to mobs I see you add some spells to them(like enstone so far i see), or the new dungeons .. having sorc and viking Mammets... so I am wondering is there going to be Red mage and Puppet Master in the near future?

I understand you made changes to battlecraft materia and being able to meld it into "icon" gear, but out of all the classes that uses it most and needs it most, it is the gathering and crafting classes, which you are ignoring. I don't know if this was asked, but we are almost to the 9 months since release and we cannot convert crafting or gathering gear for gathering or crafting materia v. When are we going to be able to do this? You have already made it harder to spiritbond the gear over ilvl 55 by changing the best method for bonding. Can you please let us know when we will get this?

Have you thought of adding a Cape/Cloak accessory to the game? Something more so for glamour... i.e... Odin's Cape.

Are you aware that cheating in pvp is starting to become more common? Some people use "speed hacks" which allow them to have sprint-speed all the time.

Another problem is that some people enter pvp, but they do their best to lose as fast as possible. They do this only to farm lore gear.

Has anything been planned or discussed to address these issues?

Though it doesn't pertain to 3.2 patch; maybe this question will get answered. I have heard in the past that there is no intention of adding a new job mid expansion via a patch.

I was wondering if this has been reconsidered?

I ask because I feel like adding a new job towards the later half of the expansion really helped the 2.0 series; it helped breath life into the leveling zones as well as just feeling impactful from an MMO standpoint.
