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

Many players who play Scholar feel that the job has been simplified too much, that it is too weak compared to Nocturnal Astrologian, and that its ties with Summoner are increasingly becoming a problem. What are your plans regarding Scholar balancing?

Will DRK see any change regarding their lack of mitigation skills? Shadow Wall being exceptionally weaker than Vengeance due to the 5 less second duration and 60 second longer cooldown compared to a class with a few more defensive skills is somewhat unfair. Buffs to Shadow Wall? Maybe change Quietus to something useful?

Also the immaturity of many people and the harassment they resort to is shocking. Do people even get punished?

I would like to echo some of the Scholar question already posted here as I feel the current state of the class is an important issue to the scholar community. I've made several post in the healer forums about my thoughts on where Scholar is today and I feel like at some point during the Stormblood development cycle Scholar lost its identity. The changes to the class seemed to be overly harsh and punitive in response to the state of the class during Hevanswards. Many of the abilities introduced in Stormblood like Fey Union directly go against other abilities such as Dissipation creating a clunky system where key abilities are rarely if ever used. What is being done to restore the class's identity and bring its competitiveness back in line with the other healers?

I know it's not the appropriated place for that, but maybe I'll get GM, Devs, whatever's attention

Do you plan on fixing the constant issue that isn't allowing players to play the game anymore, getting constant disconnect and unable to do any action in game?

We also plan to accommodate free companies members that plan to move together with or without a free company estate.

Can we get more info about this so far a lot of us are left in the dark waiting...

We have been told to not give up hope and that the Viera race will be there eventually. Any idea when they will be a playable race? I am a big fan of the tactics series and Final Fantasy 12 so when Ivalice came into mention I got really excited. I hope to see the Viera soon but still everything you have done so far is absolutely amazing. Best MMORPG I have ever played.

Will we be getting ssome cool egi-glamours anytime soon? cause it really sucks ta since launch summoner is stuck with the same ones

Is there any possible way you could add Lyse's "The Lady in Red" outfit/hairstyle to the mog station? I'd be willing to pay for that outfit. It's so pretty!

Also, are there any upcoming hairstyles that will be longer in length like Lyse's? I really would love some longer, flowing locks Thank you!

You have said that to balance DPS jobs what have been considered was:
1. self DPS
2. Utilities and raid DPS
3. difficulty/punishment of the job

I was wondering why some of the most difficult and punishing job such as MCH, DRG and SMN which do have some raid utilities but not as good as other job in their categories ( namely BRD, NIN, and RDM) seems to not have a higher DPS that those jobs sometime even lower.
