Concerning new items, does the team ever change anything according to our feedback or are the plans already set out for the rest of 2014?

My Question: Will items that are no longer purchasable in tH store ever be brought back for a limited time or for holidays? I just recently started playing theHunter and I'd love to own Skunk Trapper Hat and USA Basic T-Shirt.

If you had the chance to change something in TheHunter, regardless what the Devs OR the community wants or thinks is wise, smart or profitable, what would it be?
In other words: if this was YOUR game, what would you change first?

[Gooseman81]

first of all Thanks for letting us the ask questions we have Alena,

the team has proven a good feel for item balance so far (especialley lateley with the semi shotty)

- How important is game "balance" for the team?

- how important are community suggestions and polls for you and the team?, is it part of your daily working routine to view them?

- what do YOU think of the, the hunter community, and how will beeing on steam influance the community?

And some things regarding the hunter i wanna know:

- will "guilds" aka HUntingclubs be added to the game at some (hopefully soonish) point?

- will the second and third place desing of the community voteing also be incorporated in the game (you had to buy them regualary!)

- will my Blaser K95 stutzen edition be added to the game^^ (i got almost 100 votes and still two thirds majority)

thanks Alena

Why did you take the job at EW?

Before applying I spent some time on these forums, loved the community and really wanted to start working with it. Plus I saw a great potential in theHunter, I think it's a brilliant game and I've never regretted that I came on board.

What games do you play?

Mostly adventure games and theHunter, obviously

How is live in Sweden? Speak Swedish yet?

The life in Sweden is relaxed and pleasant, it's a nice country. As for Swedish, in my mind I do speak it quite ok, but you probably should ask someone else from the team for an impartial opinion on this

[Alena Rybik]

What's it like working with the team?

The best team I've ever worked with - fun, friendly, laid back, and very professional.

Could you elaborate, please? Not sure what you mean by "new water". Thanks!

Will there ever be real penalties for shooting animals unethically or failing to track down a wounded animal?
