Live Letter from the Producer - Discussion Thread

So will the new ct raid be dropping 3 chests per boss or more since we have 11 jobs and we had quite ab it of loot problems with just adding ninja during wod or will there be some token at the end and you run it x amount of times?

As far as I know it's the same as WoD's system.

I hope it has at least 3 chests or more then

It is also possible that the relic quest include some 3.1 elements, like finding a specific item in the new exploration zone.

That might be an option to get the new relic to ilv 210 (second phase). What I was hoping is for Mr. Yoshi to implement the first phase of the new relic to get to ilv 200. It's a long shot but here's hoping

I think they said during the live letter that it's 1 per alliance, just like CT.

Excited for the Ark itself, dreading the loot system.

I'm not.

Then again, I'm a tank, and if tank stuff drops in my chest, it's mine. Never mind that I still won't be using fending accessories.

Depends on how many items are in the chest, if it's one item per chest by all means, it's stupid. However if it's 3-4 items (which it should be at the minimum), fine. They learned their lesson with Alexander after all and upped the drops to 4 instead of just 2, hopefully they do the right thing and repeat that for the Ark.

They add a new tank and the kick them in the teeth by balancing new content to only require 1 tank for every eight players. Yeah, way to encourage more tanks, make content that needs fewer tanks...talk about sending the wrong message.

Needing six tanks in 24 player content is honestly the stupidest idea on the planet.

Typical WoW raid for 25 players(and this is enforced in the raid finder): 2 tanks, 5 healers, 18 DPS.

Typical x4 raid I did in EQ2(24 players, 4x6 player groups): 2 tanks, 4-6 healers(we always brought 5) rest DPS(usually at least four of those being bards and/or enchanters).

3 tanks is plenty.

still cant see the video wth?

hope airship thing delivers , because the raid and the primal are cool for 2 weeks....then

The last thing in Mr. Happy's translation.

"Warning people about FC theives"

We had just prevented something like that. Someone joined us at level 1, started asking strange questions

"where's the house?"
"Where's the bank?"
*they put 10 gil into the bank*
"Can i have some money?"
*we ask why they need money at level 1*
"I need to get back to Gridania"
"When can i craft, i need money?"
(they had previously asked for several hundred thousand gil, but never specified what for)

...That thief shouldve been named Mr. Obvious
