A76. We're going to add this in Patch 3.1. We actually had it nearly ready to release, but the number of polygons were too high. We're currently making adjustments to this, so please look forward to it.

Do you mean the armoire? It's mostly for certain quest-related blue-background gear and most seasonal/event rewards. As well as some other quest-and-GC-related items like the Patriot's Choker for some reason. There aren't hard and fast rules for it though, since last I checked I still had a few pieces of seasonal reward gear that didn't go in (as of 3.0).

That's exactly what I meant, thanks.

Q90. I'd really like to listen to the field music even while engaged in battle, so could you add an option to turn off the battle music?

I'd love to be able to do this during hunts! Hunts are always kind of a chillout thing for me, so it'd be nice to not have the battle music start blaring at me whenever I actually find the mark.

So far I've been DFing A3 and people are pretty competent. The queues for DPS have all been sub 10 minute with one instant in progress. I've cleared all attempts with only 3 wipes in total. It's not bad at all.

I feel like A1 is the only part of Alexander I worry about DFing into. I'm sure that's probably partly because you have to clear it to get to the other parts of Alex, which weeds out the most terrible players, but it's also the only one where the mechanics seem to regularly get flubbed even if everybody more-or-less understands what's going on.

The Savage Alex token system is exactly what I was looking for, which makes me wonder why they had the clusterfuck token system of Alex NM in the first place. Maybe it was just supposed to be a giant test?

I don't think I'd want to do A4 through DF. It feels like the one floor that is close to "coil with echo" hard.

He did mention that they'll probably be tweaking the NM loot system though which is cool.

WELL THAT JUST HAPPENED!

Is there a website that I can see all the different gear sets?

EDIT: On the topic of music, the thing is that it's nice enough to hear, but I don't want to hear it all the time. For example, I appreciate that I can disable the mount music, but what would be ideal is if I could set rules so that it would play some of the times I mount up without having to go back into options and re-enable it every time I want to listen.

When I looked around it seemed like no one had hive weapons and the MB barely had any forearms/hive bardings. Compare to Cactuar/excalibur where idyllshire feels like more hive weapons than not, and the mb is flooded with the raid items. Is it just not much of an endgame server?

That. Faerie's pretty casual. Endgame statics do exist and there are people who clear endgame content quickly/regularly but there isn't a giant pool of people who want to sub for statics. Most people tend to stick with their social group statics for clearing that content.

I'll be really sad if they start adding children/more child-like races to the game. We get enough poo poo from people for the game being "too Asian/anime" without us having our own version of the Elin fron Tera.

Also remember that Miqo'te have much longer lifespans than real life humans. Because of this, they will appear younger for a longer length of time. The Miqo'te in the picture may not necessarily be a child by Miqo'te standards. She could be 25+ years old.
