    That's... I... wow. I'm at a loss of words right now.

    Do you need more hints about what race makes Tera to keep running?

    $ome race$ make much more money than the others.

    So, the dyeable part is not the color of the costume but the color of the ornaments on the costume?

    WTF!? and I was about to waste money on it...

    It shouldn't come as a surprise. There is a picture preview on the gifts page with one dyed blue. It's account bound so I'm happy with it.

    But why drop an item for only one race? They could make more money by dropping an item (or items) that everyone can use. I just... like, whaaaaaa? I simply cannot comprehend this decision.

    Huh. I suddenly have a headache. That might be an omen...

    I'd agree that they should at least provide an alternative outfit for other races. Or an accessory or something.

    I'm more floored by the fact that, for the second year in a row, a holiday themed cash shop sale is the Christmas event.
    Last year people were so certain that there would be something else. Surely, they thought, the holiday event won't be just a cash grab. But then the 25th came and went with nothing to show for it. I hope you like Wintera battlegrounds and golden whale boxes, 'cause that's your in-game christmas event from now on I guess.
  • Wow nice! Elin only costume! Screw non elin players i guess.
  • I feel like this years is more expensive than previous years, am I wrong?
    $100 for footsteps seem like a bit much, EME didn't used to be this way :(

    Last year, right before Christmas, they added the open-world santa event as well. We'll see if they do that again, at the very least, or anything else. Some things may only start after Thursday's maintenance, and for whatever reason they don't seem to do any advanced announcements about event details until they basically start.

    The boxes themselves are the same price as all recent years. (Edit: The bundles are not quite as discounted than a few years ago, but the individual is the same. They are the same prices as Christmas 2016 though.) The footsteps being the 5-box prize is different, of course, since it didn't exist before. This seems sort of a hybrid between 2015 and 2016 Christmas in terms of the gifting rewards. (IMO, 2015 Christmas has the worst gifting rewards since they were all character-bound.) I think the box contents themselves are a bit better than the previous few. All in all though... it isn't that different than the past few years.
  • This year's gift box is really bad. Why so many mounts... usually there are same amount of mount and costumes in there and the costume they added is one that has been around for years, life of the party really? So bad.

    This hasn't been a great year for TERA costumes in general IMO, but there are 4 in the box: Volcanic Dragon, Arctic Dragon, Starglow, and Life of the Party. Technically Life of the Party is new, but it's just the dyeable version of the one we had before. If they're just doing costumes from this year, I guess they could have put the new wedding dress and maid in there too, along with the Cocktail Dress... but I feel like the older costumes are still more popular than most of the new ones. (Maybe the idol ones will be popular...)
  • last year's boxes rewards for gifting was way better. you got the skycycle mount...account bound, account bound outfit with a name tag on it, and so on. I half thought that the reward for gifting this year would be the flying costume or something. so much for thinking and hoping I guess.

    They'd close the game. The vast majority of TERA players never pay anything, and would just quit the game if they had to.

    (Personally I preferred the game when it was sub-based too because it avoided this perception, but the reality we live in...)
  • They should just stick with what works. Instead of adding so many damn mounts they could've made a "random dragon mount chest" and fill the other slots with dyeable jeans and jacket, maid costume or really anything else. Just doesn't make sense that 5 items are basically the same mount with different colors... The whole thing just feels lazy and not thought out. If they didn't know what to add, they should've made a poll. But now it's too late to do anything about it as people who already purchased them would be damaged.
  • Was it not possible to buy boxes in bigger bulk last year with bigger discounts?
