Killing the same BAM for IOD dailes?

DespositionDesposition
in TERA PC - General Discussion
With the IOD dailes now, we have to kill each type of BAM 10 times for each token tier three times, instead of being able to just keep killing the same one three times.

E.g. instead of just doing Teralith quest x3 for Shadecore tokens, we have to do Teraliths x1 + Fimbrilisks x1 + Fangspawn x1.

Does anyone else think it would be better if we could revert back to being able to kill the same BAM or making it so that each BAM in each tier has the same difficulty? Personally, I find it difficult to kill the Hydraths/Giants at an efficient rate on my DN alts and would prefer to just do the Naga quest 3x over for slightly less rewards.

    The only problem I can see is that if they revert it to repeatable quests more likely than not you'd be able to do them 8 times (since that's the daily limit now) as opposed to be limited to do it only 3 times which is what the previous limit was, I guess in a way it was necessary so people don't go ahead and farm too much (game loves to have you grind but also to limit on how much you can do it, I guess they think it somehow lengthens the life of a patch even though in essence, at least in NA, it kills it).

    They could have just limit it to x3 per tier without forcing you to do BAMs that you don't want to do

    The thing is that they (EME) have done changes to the coding of this game before only to have the forums explode when a new patch hits because things go wrong or changes made are reverted by the patch we get, which is why it was stated at one point that from then on EME would have to talk to BHS about specific needs for NA since that way the chance of stuff breaking or reverting would be less (not saying stuff doesn't break enough as it is already with every major patch but imagine having that and the ensuing flaming for it in forums AND have even more because "the changes you promised and made are no longer working what the F is wrong with you!!!) which is kind of what happened during... uh... one point during the SCHM (or was it TSNM?) patch, I can't remember the exact stage at which happened... For quite some time the forums were flooded with complaint and trash-talking because of it, and it wasn't one thread but several at the first page.
    So while I'd like to get to choose which BAMs to do and do it 3 times I don't see it happening without involving BHS which is probably going to take a while to even get a response (and sadly it would most likely be a no anyway), and in the case of receiving a yes they might just let it be buried down real fast because they have other priorities and we'd be getting the change when it's just not relevant anymore.

    Unfortunately this is true. Unless Korea gets these specific changes it's unlikely we will, and if we do, it's possible for it to be accidentally reverted. A good recent example would be the Fashion Coupon issue. They don't use them as far as I know, but we still do. Which is why they were unobtainable from ims and such until they were added to bams again and dungeon bosses.

    Add to this that apparently, BHS wants at least the essence of the game to be the same in all regions. That means that some changes BHS make because their Korean gamer base ask for them or whatever any other reason, will be implemented everywhere else even if the other regions hate those changes, just to keep the base game similar within builds. This also keeps builds relatively similar and easier to update. Regions still have some say and ability to change some minor things, as their gamers are different from Korean gamers, but still the main source of these changes is BHS and the Koreans.

    You can just buy higher level tokens with the lower ones. If you do 6 of the lower tier ones, that would be enough to give you 23 top tokens. Add the ones you get with the naga and that's still 63 total a day. It would be 66 if you do celestial arena for your 8th daily. Since you have alts anyway, that will add up pretty fast.
