Are we not allowed to criticize eme for stupid decisions now? Why would I leave a 6 year account to play in a laggier region.
because the good old enmasse is gone
because we should punish you to sell angel
SIGN ME UP!!!
Seriously, I would grind my [filtered] off farming for that since it's guaranteed instead of dealing with RNG [filtered].
ffs this game I have no incentive to play this server lol
But the prices are more tasteful to the players. Look at everything they are getting. The rewards are clearly a lot better and players can choose any of those good rewards.
Us? we get the boot, and get overpriced boxes, which we still have to deal with rng even after the time it takes to farm a single box. But hey, look at this, you can pay us money to buy LOOT BOXES that yield the same results as the overpriced in game boxes.
I will quote @Strawberrypants again cause i believe we can get behind his reasoning about the summer event:
u say that but if pushed far enough that's exactly what people will do, and then you'll end up with the situation we had several years ago where gameforge tera was DEAD and the economy was so broken that vital things like ses scrolls were selling for 20k gold with only 2 on the broker except this time around it'll be on NA tera.
and given the age of the game now i could see BHS just closing up shop entirely if NA servers get that bad instead of trying to fix the problem.
I wasn't saying otherwise. The point was just that, by making the event shorter/more concentrated, they don't have to worry so much about "oh no, people will be able to farm this excessively on all their alts for 5 weeks straight", and by having so many variety of choice and still requiring the grind to get good things, it means people won't load up mountains of costumes like happened here last year. You have to prioritize how you spend your tokens. In the end, I do think it's a better way of handling an event like this on the whole (but I'm sure they also partly had the benefit of seeing the reception to the event here to influence their choices; I'll be interested to see what EME does on console).
That's what counterpoint is saying. The player gets to set a goal and grab exactly what he/she wants, and the brokers don't have to worry too much about 10 million versions of the same item interfering with their own sales.
Quality > quantity and all.
Don't forget: the cash shop boxes remove a layer of RNG that's present in the in-game event boxes.
"Want a smartbox instead of a random item that may not be for any of your characters? That'll cost ya!"
Agreed, but the only consolation is that this year it's still not worth it to buy on the daily deals because of how cheap it is on the broker (from last year's over-supply). So basically this year is 100% a reaction to last year, since the value of all swimsuits completely tanked. Hopefully next year we can start with a fresh slate.
