2. Elite gift box is honestly fine, its not meant to give you a lot, its just mean for a small little nice stuff each day. Honestly would irritate me to get random cosmetics that i dont like or need and what they could put for it is probably bad anyway.
3. Npc scrolls are nice but honestly not needed, you can get them fairly easily from fashion coupons if you really need one.
4. The gold boost has been fairly useless yeah, especially since they removed gold loot in most open world areas back in the middle of 2015(which they changed felicity to a gold collecting pet called nugget at that time and the community got pretty angry about that since it was really poor timing lol) https://tera-forums.enmasse.com/forums/general-discussion/topics/Changes-made-without-notification?page=1
5. We get one potion of each every day from elite and they drop fairly frequently in events so i think their currently fine. Just a tip as well wintera is dropping 3x Strong braveries or 5x canephoras as a jackpot, i've gotten a fair bit of them the past week or so wintera has been out. Try it out its fun too.
6. Nocts would be nice but i think that might be over doing it, honestly i think they just need them to drop a little more in general in dungeons, the amount we get is kinda low, maybe double noct drops in the vanguard at the minimum.
If were on the topic of elite stuff
100% questers gold boost is almost useless during leveling and only really kinda useful from 60-65 story quests, past that its not used so its only useful for about 5 hours of play for every character you ever level, provided story quests 60-65 are done which usually they arent after the first time because people just level from the dungeon now.
100% reputation boost is a useful term honestly because almost all of the rep stores are gone now. The only use now is the vanguard points, so might want to change it to just double vanguard credit rewards.
Daily bonus quest increase is what, a thing from back in level 60? We don't do those kinds of dailies any more. Though if this could be transfered instead to vanguard cap maybe might be useful.
Also might want to change the text for the 24 x 3 hour ccbs and put on the list the permanent one.
Just make sure that elite stays relevant to the current year and patch and i don't think there will be complaints, but I'm mostly happy with it besides the above things.
I have never gotten felicity although I have seen others.
Does anyone know what the actual elite loot table is? Or do we know if elite is "done". Has eme finished working on it?
It does feel like/seem like eme/bhs doesn't care too much about their subscription service, I wonder what percentage of their income it is.
This is again why I want a solution where loyalty allows people to save up and pick their own rewards, because that was really the end-game of the "monthly reward" idea they couldn't implement at the time and would address most of discussions/arguments people had back then.
FWIW, over the years I've probably got about 2-4 Felicity pets per server from the Elite Gift Boxes (but I also saved them up when there was the gold pig to avoid it).
I remember this as well. The problem is that the game has evolved since then however the rewards have not. The reason for the drama over gems at that time was because they were used purely for gold and had no other in game value where now you can get multiple per day from dungeons and they ARE needed for crafting. This is why I suggested adding them back. Adding other crafting and upgrading items to the table (especially those that are harder to get) may help as well. What I think EME/BHS has lost track of is that the rewards aren't evolving as they make changes to the game and it feels like we just aren't really getting as much value now because of it.
