Thread: Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XIX! (Exploring Patch 2.45)

have you guys not received enough complaints about the use of random number generators to slow down progress? the "By completing a dungeon, there is a small chance that you will obtain the associated item. " and more importantly, why do you continue to shove down our throat content that relies on random number generator?

Now that melee DPS felt balanced, but im concerned about ranged DPS mostly SMN since it's 1 of my mains. The 2 things that concern me is Tri-disaster and Contagion. For tri-disaster I felt that it's at a unfair situation against blizzard. 30 potency at the cost of 266MP casting time 2.88, but blizzard 2..50 potency at the cost of 212 MP casting time 1.92 sec. I wanted to see if there's any buff for that ability to make it useful for SMN players cause not many are using it. 2nd is contagion, is there at some point make it to where that the ability will be useable to players than the pets? The pets takes awhile to use it, but it will be easier for players in their action&traits section.

Will 2.5 bring us the final version of Revenant's Toll?

Are you against Wedding Bands being sold in game for gil and if not, has the economic value of this item make you reconsider the possibile option to sell the other cash shop items in game and make them tradeable?

The Metallic (Red, Blue, Green) Dye you added to the cash shop... will there be another way to obtain these items in-game with patch 2.5? I find it infuriating to see those items restricted to cash shop only in a game I pay a subscription for.

Seeing how the cash shop is being used for little items like dyes, it's kind of depressing... but I might understand a little better if there were a list of stretch-goals that would be reached after a certain amount of funding. How do you feel about adding a kickstarter-like goal system for this kind of funding?

I have a question -- as far as the Cash Shop goes, and considering what was added with 2.45, can you elaborate on what the additional funding will go towards with the game? For instance, will this extra revenue go towards updating the character models by any chance?
