Thread: Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XVI! (Exploring patch 2.3)

2 words.... TACKLE BOX!!!!!!!!!!

By now you've seen all the issues with Elite Hunt. What are your current plans to address this content.

In 2.2 you took tomestones of philosophy out of the game and as a result you added those crafting materials to the loot out the dungeons that came out in the patch as well. You did the same with 2.3. My question is are there any plans on moving those materials to the non boss chests in the dungeon allowing the boss to drop the armor and accessories to better facilitate players who are trying to gear up?

The current hunt system encourages cheating, hacking, harassment, bullying, anger, discord, and elitism. The hunts take many hours of focused grind to payoff if a player is lucky. Players have had to suspend their atma grind to spend that time on hunts. Players that only play during prime time are unable to get a suitable amount of allied seals. I suspect the hunts are not working out as planned. If there are changes being planned, what are they and when can we expect them? May I suggest a solution be found that tests our wits, doesn't have us compete with each other, and doesn't consume so much time?

Respectfully,

With materia now in great demand and of extremely high value it is apparent that some changes are required regarding the amount of materia that players can obtain.

Will you please consider further boosting the soulbind gain % rate and increasing the success rate for materia overmelds.

The current desynthesis system feels extremely cruel at high level, crafters are required to spends an enormous amount of gil for a chance of a small fractional gain, on top of further RNG with using melds to boost success rate.

For this system to continue would you consider reducing or removing RNG elements?

Just have a question of if the wide variety of experience in Hunts was something you guys thought you'd see. We have certain classes being able to get top contribution solo by spamming one spell while others would find it impossible without a party.

Will there be any other way to upgrade our weathered lvl 100 soldiery armor to normal one lvl 110 without tokens from Coil?
Can we get Sands of Time from any other place like Syrcus Tower?

It's been stated to be added to Syrcus Tower at a later date, and now it can be purchased using bloody hunting logs (A-rank or S-rank elite mark drop or purchased by Allied Seals).
