Thread: Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XXXVII! (Exploring Patch 4.0)

I'd like first say thank you for not forcing the player-base behind finding dozens of "points" in order to actually swim.

While we are all aware of the hard work the development team does; can we actually go into the water without "zoning"? In addition can we also have some nice active time battle events under the water?

GW2 has done a really great job in putting together the water experience as an example.

Are there any plans to introduce more elaborate jumping puzzles with rewards at the end for time completion/etc?

Example:

when can we get Lyse's outfit and hair on mogstation?

How will moving function? Could an FC with a small house utilize it to upgrade to a large one? Or will we need to instead relinquish our plot?

What was the thought process behind putting only one retainer bell in Rhalgr's Reach and Kugane?

When I complete a Leve it offers to take me to the nearest settlement. Since Heavensward and now Stormsblood have the Leve quest in the city and not the area you are performing them. Would you be able to change the teleport to the town we got the Leve Quest?

My question is a little less serious but I have been thinking about it since the I got to Yanxia. After completing the Namazu quests at Yuzuka Manor and seeing how involved a couple of them are and how keen they are on being merchants. Are they a possible future beast tribe? And will it ever be possible to hire a Namazu retainer?

Because I would absolutely LOVE to have a catfish with a bell selling all my items on the MB. It would be fitting for their behavior as well.

Why do you hate Scholar?

I'm having a very hard time seeing your vision for the job. White Mage is supposed to be the pure healer, and from the recent buffs I guess Astrologian is supposed to be a diety who holds life and death in her hands, but Scholar just seems bad.

We have to work twice as hard to keep the party alive because our potency is so weak, our shields are weaker than Astrologian (even though shields are supposed to be what sets Scholar apart), most of our new abilities can be viewed as situational at best, but in reality are pretty much useless... What am I missing? Where does scholar fit into your master plan for healers in the game? Or does it just not?
