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

Can we have another method of obtaining an Encrypted Tomestone? I'm a casual player and would like a new axe. But find it's difficult enough to get the relic weapon up to speed. Finding a coil group where people can keep their attitudes in check is even harder.

Are summoners expecting any upgrade considering the average playerbase is drifting towards blackmage due to the new content. Blackmage got a buff for the previous content to balance them out with summoners, so how will you restore balance?

I've been hoping each patch that the FATE requirement for the Atma/Animus books might be reduced or removed. I can't say that I enjoy the rest of the books, but the FATE requirements seem particularly annoying to me, especially for fates with 3-4 hour respawn times.

What you are essentially asking us is to sit around and not play the game while waiting for these fates. What little time I have to play I would like to actually..play. Not sit around waiting for a fate.

Hope you guys think about this. I know these are supposed to take a lot of time, but I'd like to spend the time actually working on it, not standing in a designated spot for a few hours.

I noticed Rowena changed her outfit, and others have told me that she has changed outfits quite a lot since 1.0. Is there a specific reason why she suddenly switched styles again?

With recent patches adding new stuff, no one does hunts anymore. So are there currently any plans to do something to hunts to make them appealing again?

The ceremony reservation system was not a good experience. I was not able to book anything at the registration time. Is there any way to improve this? Instanced ceremonies? A mirrored cathedral similar to mirrored housing zones? I think the amount of people wanting to participate will not decrease very fast since only 84 ceremonies can occur per week.

The issue of players using bot programs to farm monsters is still not addressed. How would you tackle this issue other than the in-game reporting which we players have no idea whether or not they are being addressed?

My question has to do with personal housing. I've seen many threads and questions to the producer about permissions for housing, however there has never been an answer or even mention about this issue.

This is a list of things I am interrested in for personal housing:
1. LOCK MY DOOR so I can give special permissions to those that can enter my house.
2. Allow permissions for decorating and moving furniture in my house.
3. Allow teleports to the front of my house.
4. Allow access to those I choose to tend to my garden. What if I'm sick and can't log in? I will loose w/e it is I planted. (Gardening permissions.)

Its seems like relic progression favours "first come first served". Players engaging in relic content a patch later may find themselves trying to upgrade their relic ilvl in much harder content than originally intended, or face a harder time as the horde of players are done with upgrades for now. This leaves slower players falling behind even more. Are there going to be any further "catch up" opportunities?
