It doesn't feel rewarding to defeat megalotix because there isn't the same increase in item drops as there is for defeating Enhanced and Equalizing Enemies. I would like to see better rewards for defeating such powerful enemies.

We plan on improving the rewards for defeating Megalotix in a future update by increasing the Arms Refiner drop rate, as well as including N-EXCubes and valuable augment capsules.

Please make adjustments so that the Emperappy appears where Dread Enemies are defeated. Players loitering around the area end up defeating the Emperappy first while players who actually defeated the Dread Enemy make their way to the Rappy Spot and miss out on the rewards.

We plan on addressing this by having the Rappy Spot generate where the Dread Enemy was defeated the next time we hold a similar event.

I want to be able to select the original Aelio Town from the Quest Counter and revisit the area from before it was destroyed. It would be nice to spend some extra time in Aelio Town and take some awesome screenshots.

We're going to allow players to select the prologue mission from the Quest Counter.

Side Note: The prologue was initially planned to be included at the Quest Counter, but due to the way that particular quest is structured, it would have required additional dev time and pushed back the release of the Quest Counter.

Do the various Meseta Earned boosts apply to the N-Meseta acquired through Auto Sell Items?

If a boost on Meseta Earned is applied to your character, the effect will also count toward the Meseta obtained by selling enemy drops via Auto Sell Drop Items. However, please note that the boost effect for Meseta Earned doesn't apply when items are sold manually.

Side Note: This was actually unintended, but the team decided to leave it as is since it didn't cause any player disadvantages.

In the most recent broadcast, there was an announcement about class balance adjustments taking place in October, but we would like to see this addressed sooner.

We are aware that some weapons are extremely powerful now, and are considering raising the level of other weapons. Seeing as this affects the overall balance of the game, we are taking a cautious approach and speeding up these adjustments will be quite difficult.
