Interim Report – Sorry to keep you all waiting!

[Camate]

Hello everyone!

Producer Akihiko Matsui responded to a couple comments, and I thought you might like to hear what he had to say.

In regards to a player's suggestion to make the final level cap quest battle less stressful by removing the rare status on the Olde Rarab Tail item, he mentioned that it was a good idea that was viable and possible to implement in a short period of time, and gave a follow-up response:

QA testing on this has concluded and we will just barely be able to implement this adjustment in the December version update. Specifically we will be changing the below:

• Removal of the rare status on Olde Rarab Tail / Fossilzed Fang / Fossilized Bone
• Increase of stack size from 1 to 12 for Olde Rarab Tail / Seasoning Stone / Fossilized Fang / Fossilized Bone

We also looked into the removal of the rare status from the fossils as well, and decided that we did not want to increase the amount of times players need to run around to get them, since we already have players taking time gaining battle experience and going around to defeat monsters to obtain these items.

We'd like to see a great deal of players get past this quest and become level 99, so please give it a shot.

This touches on something that is unrelated the topic at hand and might be traumatic for you, but creating an evasive tank with Utsusemi expanded the game and I really enjoy tanking as a ninja.

I probably didn't explain this part too well.
I wasn't talking about the strategy of evasion tanking, what was traumatic was the history of mass producing monsters that countered evasion tanks. ><

I vaguely remember reading a blog post of an acquaintance that really stuck with me and made me realize evasion tanking has spread beyond just ninja:
"Today I was thinking, wow, I'm not having any trouble getting shadows up, but it turns out the dark knight was timing my shadows perfectly and supporting me with stuns. It was too awesome ♡”

And finally, a response in regards to a comment about scholar and the position that they will be placed in without the current Embrava effects.

I believe that scholars who have very potent regen and the ability to extend enhancement effect durations will be useful in content such as the salvage that is to be implemented. However, I realize that there are disagreements between the thoughts of the development side and the thoughts of all of the players. Moving forward we will be closely monitoring the conditions of the public servers and be making adjustments as necessary based on all of your feedback. Please continue to hold discussions on the forums.
