Start Time: Friday, December 2 at 11:30 AM PST
Duration: 30-45 minutes

We can't wait to see you there, ark hunters!

Please... can you make loot last longer on area maps, during a Major Event Arkfall? As we all know, most of the MEA's crowd up and end up producing invisible elements, including loot. So we are not able to pick them up until the Arkfall ends. By this time, most of the loot has already disappeared from the map.

Either make the loot last longer on the map, or make it allways appear.

Can you at least give us a hint about when Inventory Management will be implemented? Can you please address it in the livestream?

Can you hire a decent coder to deal with the games core bugs and issues?
Most of which should be fixed before you decide on the next lollipop synergy you're going to drop?

Can you please bring the exchange back?

There has been no noticeable difference in connectivity or latency without it...

How many of the Supreme items dropped on PC NA from the black friday boxes vs how many were sold. Explain as a percentage if you dont want hard numbers.

If not the above, just tell us how many of those items actually dropped in total on PC NA.

Are you aware of the hard freezes in the inventory screen? I have to power cycle my PS3 after they happen.

This happens 2 out of 5 times that I try to modify a weapon via the inventory screen, specially if the weapon is at the bottom of the screen.

To reproduce the bug: scroll down to any weapon on the inventory screen and press R2 to call the pop-up menu. Choose any option (the most prone to freeze are 'Attach mods' and 'Upgrade ego' <- don't remember exactly how it's written). Select it and BAM: hard freeze. Repeat this whole process at least 5 times and you're sure to get one hard freeze out of it.

Also, I'm getting disconnected by simply equipping a new weapon!

Instead of replacing the faction vendors jackpots every 4 months just place ALL the faction jackpots in their specific vendor...it takes 1500 rep to get so I see no harm in doing that. We all know the PS3 & x- box have a limited time, so why not?
Also....
The Chimera is supposed to be this bad *** crime syndicate that can get ahold of the best gear through the blackmarket, how bout placing all previous event synergy jackpots in its vendor as an additional incentive for customers to buy this dlc. They could cost 60 cores, 1500 rep, 75 Keys, 22 loyalty and/or x amount of scrip...what do ya think about that Devs?

*edited to be questions.

what is being done about hackers in pvp?

can you possible do more free patron passes again, my baby toons need them.

Can we please for the love of sanity PLEASE have a decent use for arksalvage. Also we really need to be able to send our own gear to our own toons WITHOUT having to involve anyone else...or a way to send gifts(gear) to ppl who may no be on...

• Can we have a mail system that allows us to send gear and scrip to other players, including our own toons?
• A few streams ago, you mentioned that you had plans for creating Supremable Arkbreaker weapons. How's the progress on that?
• Can Monterey and Military Academy get optimised for consoles?
• Will there be PvP updates in 2017?

Could you please let us turn off the display of XP, critical and/or chain kill?

Could you please fix gear chests in expeditions (open a chest in war below and it counts for one in the stolen purpose pursuit)?
Could you increase number of chests appearing in expeditions (you're actually pretty lucky if you encounter even only one)?

Any chance we could see T-5 Rocket Launcher mods added to chimera vendor or paradise vendor?

Not horrible idea maybe if they tweaked the rep payout or even gave a loyalty point for patron contracts made it say 2mil scrip on top of that might help as a scrip sink as well...

Could we get a small change to the salvage matrix so that when you add a mod to a weapon it stays on that weapon to let us add multiple mods without having to scroll through the inventory all over again to find it?

^^^this^^^

Keep the questions coming. Thanks all!

when are yall gonna start on pvp updates again?
are yall ever going to get rid of the glitchout rad archers in expos?

To go along with t5 rocket launcher mods, might as well throw in infector also. No need for bmg...lol

Are we going to see a return of the Black Friday crates anytime in the near future.

When will you fix the season 4 Monterey content so that we can replay it solo and as a co op map? All other episode missions are replayable. By February or March it will have been a year since you released the season 4 content and despite assuring us at that time that a fix was in the works, you guys have remained silent on this outside of a brief response we got from Kiwi shortly before she left. If this is never gonna happen just let us know please.

Every patch sees little changes in co op maps such as boxes turning a different direction or ammo boxes moving to new locations and sitting at strange positions. What is it about your code that breaks these little things so easily?

Two questions:

Will there be more expeditions in 2017?

Will there be updates to the rep vendors in 2017?

Hi!

I love expeditions, so my questions are about those, do you have any plans that you can share with us about adding new environments, as in new maps? maybe some outdoor ones?
Also what about adding a 5th or 6th type of expedition, for exemple the scrappers, or the 99ers or even the afflicted! Any plans for the future?

Thanks in advance.

1. When can I sort inventory based on synergies? &/or,
2. Maybe a split screen of guns above and mods below (or something like that)?
3. Can we have an event for ego players above a certain threshold to roam the plains as an ark level infected, raider, tanker, gold skitterling, Warmaster.. looking to make people's lives interesting :)

Good to see someone else asking the developers this for a change. I've all but given up on trying to ask the same question for the 1,356,834th time.

Do you have any intentions on following through with promises made over the last 2 years ago for things such as:

• Golden skitterlings appearing in the open world
• Free-ish roaming Warmaster
• Adding the Northstar Blaze to the general loot pool
• Increasing the rewards earned in Silicon Valley after the difficulty increase
• Making Monterrey re-playable

Since events are now a permanent & almost full time fixture in the game, can you update the rewards earned at all major ark falls, conflicts, incursions, & sieges to the same format (1 epic+ weapon, 1 rare+ mod)? There is little point in participating in these activities given that the reward is usually just a single green or blue item.

Can you update the weighting rules used to populate the T4 & rep lock box loot pools? It's pretty obvious that the current rules are based on calculating the popularity of each weapon based on total player inventory and assigning higher weights to weapons with the lowest percentages. This is why players see a lot of BMGs, bolt-action sniper rifles, heavy sawed-offs, swarm cannons, etc. and is one of the reasons why they complain that the RNG is broken. This logic may have made sense when the game first launched (to keep it from becoming flooded with just 2-3 weapons) however since you are using these weapons to drive events it defeats the purpose. 99.99% of the gear from Elite lock boxes get vendored and all they are good for is the occasional AF reward or very rare jackpot.

Any chance that a Black Friday style crate would be a permanent feature? Overall, I thought this was a really good product at a reasonable price point. The whole grab-bag nature of it made it even more interesting. I noticed that most players I know bought some, many of whom never buy bitstore lock boxes.

Can Ironclad and Respark shields be added to the 7th Legion DLC? Rhinos and Hurricanes are terrible shields, which makes the amazing 7th Legion Focus shields turn into garbage since their locked onto those shields.

Can Syphon's damage perk be buffed to be on par with Radiation's damage perk? It makes no sense that Deadly Apparition, Syphon's damage perk, buffs damage by 6% while Radiation Burns, Radiation's damage perk, buffs damage by 15%.

My quest in PvP for a patch rebalanced all weapons.

it's already possible,when you add a mod dont press x to start action,tap right and equip next mod...so on till you completely mod the weapon.

Thanks, color me dumb i guess.

Is it possible to put in a upgradable option on our weapon mastery. Like you can upgrade OJ masteries to Supreme masteries on a Supreme Weapon, upgrading Epic masteries to OJ masteries on OJ weapons. This could be paid in ArkForge, as I don't see the need to gamble again if you got your desired mastery but in a lower tier.

Ill actually be watching the livestream this week since I'm not working during it, yay! Few questions:

-What happened to finishing Alcatraz?
-Once the yearly ark cycle is complete, could someone look into Dynamic Sieges? Maybe even special siege events?
-Any word to adding more maps and or enemies to expeditions?
-When last mentioned, if warmaster rewards were brute force able to supreme it would break the game. What about swapping out the loot pool?
-I know it's a few months away, but during Armstice, any chance for arkfalls to only spawn event arks, excluding core arkfalls

Thanks for the read, see you friday.

I really don't understand how WM weapons would break the game. Look at some of these powerful synergies we have now, they can be supremed, and besides, WM loot, as I recall, only drops in standard synergies...so how is it that they would be gamebreaking?

what is being done about the ongoing network issues?
are yall gonna do something about the car spamming at major arkfalls?

can the new updated mod cache please be put in the paradise vendor..... i have nothing to spend enough of it on.
