Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XXXVII Discussion Thread

[Blood-Aki]

Where's my side quest to continue wooing Cotota!?



So you ran into a few bad apples. Why try to ruin it for other people? People are so quick to ask for nerfs when we should be asking for buffs.

Don't waste your time, that poster is pretty quick to whine about anything, and you're considered "rude" if you disagree on the wrong thing. Thankfully i can't see that mess anymore.

But as for the live letter, everyone was calling for nerfs to SAM and RDM without understanding what their nitch is. but they already said they aren't nerfing either, and the ones that really needs buffs are getting them, So no worries there.

However, WAR did not stay down long.

I like how there was no questions about the amount of completely useless abilities monks still have, when the combat rework was about getting rid of useless abilities

They don't want to admit that they completely failed Monk in regards to the action rework.

(I legitimately think they didn't want to Make One Ilm Punch useful because they make fun of how useless it is so often)

I tend to agree. The changes they mentioned to Dragoon are... okay-ish but do nothing to address is low damage. We've seen numerous examples of the devs clinging to their vision despite it simply not working. Back in Heavensward, they insisted Paladin would never block magic. Two years of shunning it and they finally gave in.

I wouldn't even consider them okay-ish, that DRG response made no sense at all

Adjustments are planned for 4.05. To name some, Mirage Dive animation will be shorter and the range on the Dragon Sight will be increased to 12. Elusive Jump will have a 30s recast now. Sonic Thrust will be adjusted. BOTD will be 20s and some potency buffs.

Shorter Mirage Dive isn't really much of a DPS increase, dragon sight is more of a QoL, Elusive Jump has absolutely nothing to do with damage.

It would have been good to know what skills are getting the potency buff, since that was the question asked.

I updated the OP with the full unofficial translation, as it includes things that weren't mentioned in the official one https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...ceKo17xJo/edit

Wow is it just me or did this letter from the producer not mention ANYTHING about our questions with housing?

Nope not one. Meanwhile, you have 2 chicks sitting around with nearly 30 houses for themselves.
They need to limit housing immediately to house 1 account / server.
Now's a perfect time to start. At least the people who don't have a single house can get SOMETHING.
I've waited years.

[VanilleFang]

I think their saving anything related to housing until when or after Shirogane is released.

Good work with the translations. Subtle changes to WHM...I'll take it.

Like the bank and UI modding. FFXIV retainer inventory and a lot of the UI design are so convoluted it's like they were betting who can make the most 1980-like system when they wrote the code.
