Santa Event
Finally after almost 4 months we get a hunting event and it is the god SANTAS!! For anyone who hunts these like crazy such as myself it was a very very nice surprise. BUT after hunting these for a good few hours it turns out to be kinda disappointing. I understand that it's something i don't have to do and i should be grateful that there is a event in general but the rewards are just so garbage compared to what the could have been. When you get one of those tiny treasures you get so excited wondering what it is inside this little box and you get nothing but firecrackers and potions. Then when you open the Fat Santa boxes you get the same exact things why not change the drops for the big one? Not to mention when killing the santas why have them drop T9 feedstock no one is going to need that since guile is so ready available to everyone T10 would be a much better drop as well as costumes. In my opinion the prizes from the Wintera ice box should be put on the drop table so there is multiple ways people can get these. Anyway i'm starting to ramble thank you for the event EME just wish prizes weren't so bad.

honestly by that logic running RMHM and HH isnt worth it either, as long as you have enough alts to make up the difference :^)
most content is done for the fun out of it. Most people hunting santas atm just like hunting more than what they'll get out of it compared to what they would have gotten if they had just continued doing dungeons. Tho its true that all the fun gets a bitter aftertaste if you open all the boxes you got and they turn out to be just junk...
I love the thought behind the events but the loots are disappointing.
10/10 -thumbs up-
Thank you gentlemen for doing the most boring event of the year is not worth hitting santas.no waste your time.
Happy Holidays, EME.
On the other hand things like turning into snowmen, zombies, toy tanks, bubble cars with music, or even spawning silly sandcastles...and that one quest item that lets you rapid throw a red ball at someone (no damage or anything, just a silly animation that can be spammed).. things like that won't break the game, but it would make it a little more fun. The only firecracker worth handing out is probably the dragon one imo. Or an infinite firecracker item, like the one given in the Sunfestival quests.
EME, can't you ask the studio to come up with more fun and cosmetic items like these? TERA really lacks in the cool-little-fun-trinket department.
It's Christmas after all
In the end, they've had hunt events where they dropped waaaayyyy too much loot, so now they're on the conservative side because they know that if the event is deemed even slightly "worthwhile" by the hardcore community, they will farm it endlessly in place of doing the other content in the game. I'm not saying this event has the right balance (some items probably should be swapped out, and there could be more variety on the time), but as long people are still remembering things like Mongo Neon as their baseline, all future hunt events are guaranteed to suck because they're never doing that again.
Anyway, at least you're not waiting in line for Santa for hours and getting coal (or nothing) this year. If people just ignore it and pretend it isn't happening, it's fine.
