Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XVII!

[Allanon]

Can this issue of tying important content to FATES be looked at please. Using a horrible RNG for ATMA drops is not only a time sink but it make the overall game horribly boring. Can we get the devs to stop tying important items to FATES. Doing this mean that they lack the imagination to include something new. Seriously I have been trying for days to get 1 ATMA to drop and nothing, 600 FATES later still nothing. FYI I am doing everything I am supposed to. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. I don't want to continue reporting this issue as ATMA harassment to GM's since clearly the Devs do not read the feedback in the forums.

In one of the live streams showcasing 2.2, a male a female hairstyle based on the lalafell race were shown but have yet to make it into the game, why is that?

[Mordain]

Are there any plans to include true duo content to the game? Currently duo play is a do-it-yourself arrangement largely restricted to open-world content that is easily soloable. For example, could some of the old dungeons be opened up for less-than-light party adventuring? Or perhaps some challenging open-world content for teams of two so pairs of friends can adventure together without needing a larger party?

[PoeRangutan]

Any word on Free Companies being able to join forces in some way?

[PoeRangutan]

Is there any word on adding any additional content for DoL/DoH? Something like Hamlets from 1.0?

Is there ever going to be increases to primal mount drop rates or other ways to obtain them? Because right now it is like winning the lottery rare to even see one drop, let alone beat 7 people in casting lots for it and almost no one wants to farm them because of that. The only people that do primal exs are mostly people trying to get the clear.

Also can you guys at SE stop giving people special in-game exclusive items that aren't accessible to the "online community" like the fanfest moogle suit or at very least allow people to buy virtual tickets and live stream next year's fanfest with the in-game item included for a reasonable price?

[PoeRangutan]

Seeing the number of items on the market board that sell at or below the npc buyback amount is frustrating (copper sand, low level fish, many cooking ingredients). Are there any plans to add content to increase the demand for lower level items?

[Gryff]

Currently, there's a lot of gear that seemingly has no use past a certain ilvl other than seals, retainers, etc. Are there any plans to let players trade in old stuff for a chance at better gear or other items? Something like the Coliseum from FFVI would seem like a good alternative.

[DarkStar]

Dunno if this question has been asked already, but I was wondering if there are possibly any plans to change Hunts to make them less friendly to zerging? Perhaps make it kinda like the Treasure Maps, where you use an item to spawn the hunt and then only your party can attack the mark?

I must add to that very good suggestion: allow Chocobo to come with us! Now my healer Chocobo might have a real purpose!

If you are concerned about the loot that would be easier for us to get and gear-up; consider the Hunts which people have iLvl110 already and judging from the drops in Dungeons nowadays, we'll still end up after the last boss with Potash.

So it won't hold anything as per your plans.

Thank you.
