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

If you have no intention in fixing current housing system instead of making it instance, will you be selling a ticket in MOGstation so players can purchase a private ward in their preferred housing zone so they can bring alts, friends, linkshell or free company members?

Between removed skills, buffs/debuffs, job guages, combo procs, and ability timers the combat is more complex than it has ever been (in a bad way).

At this point I feel like the combat rework did more harm than good. Are there plans to continue refining the new system and/or allow players to turn the new system off?

Many jobs had skills completely removed from the game and a ton of players are unhappy about it.
A lot jobs lost AoEs and DOTs, was there a specific reason such skills were specifically targeted for removal, and is there any chance that those skills could be added back into the game?

Also, on a more personal level, DRG lost Ring of Thorns as one of those skills removed, but then got Sonic Thrust as its lv62 skill. What was the point of taking away the AoE that we had loved since 2.0 only to replace it with a less versatile AoE instead of giving us an entirely new skill? DRGs essentially only got 4 new skills instead of 5 like every other job (though I shouldn't be surprised since you did that to us in HW with Fang and Claw and Wheeling Thrust too).

You have introduced a new class to us through the Astrologian 60-70 story. Is this a tease for the next class and if so, what patch is it planned for? It fits in perfectly with the expansion since it comes from the "far west" that was released with the expansion. The teaser, while not part of the main story, feels similar to when we were introduced to the Thief class.

Hello,

I am a very active member of several Hunt-oriented Linkshells. Yet, I have been able to participate in only a handful of S-Rank ARR and HW Marks since the release of Stormblood. They are more often than not already dead as I'm traveling to the Mark, sometimes even when I'm loading in.

Has there been consideration on raising the stats on ARR and HW S-ranked Elite Marks to SB levels?

On a related note: The current design of linkshells only allows for 128 members. This means that in order to have a bustling an active linkshell, you have to remove inactive members to make room for new active members. Currently there is no way to see how long member have been inactive in a Linkshell.

Are there considerations or technical ability to 1. Raise the cap of linkshells and 2. View offline duration of linkshell members?

Lastly, I want to thank you, and your team, for all the hard work you have poured over into making this such a wonderful game.

Also,

3. Are there considerations on streamlining the process of inviting people who are not on
your friendslist to linkshells?

Currently the only method is to do a character search, which may fail under certain circumstances such as if in a dungeon.

Any plans to further lower the cost/light grind for 3.0 Relic weapons?
