Can we bring back some legacy items, costumes, like Pirate costume? for a short time, like weekends

I didn't know they are gone, wasn't around for some time, I love Femani pirate costume, bought EMP for it then understand it is not available, can it be available for a short time, like this weekend?

Beside my personal desire, it is also good for marketing that in some weekends we bring them back, maybe with a discount and courage players to get them before they go away again for a time. Good idea? LOL and Smite are doing it and it is quite effective.

    oh, It changes a lot, didn't see it there :S but still again it could be a good idea to do that tho

    I always wanted to suggest something along those lines. I mean EME wants to make money, right? There are so many cool costumes and weapon skins that are currently "out of circulation", and every now and then they bring them back for a "one time only sale", but what if I don't have EMP at the time? Example... the Blackheart weapon skins. Those things are cool, I would probably buy at least one or two (though admittedly, not if they're locked in RNG boxes... sorry EME, but I'd rather spend $20 for a guaranteed item than $1 for a "chance" to get said item). At the time they rereleased them, I didn't have any EMP. But if you had kept them in the store, eventually I probably would have bought one (again, non-RNG box only).

    I understand that some items have to be kept "exclusive", because *reasons*, but it's also my understanding that costume sales are one of this game's biggest revenue streams... am I correct in my understanding? Makes very little sense to me to keep cool costumes locked away indefinitely, when the coding for said costumes is already implemented into the game. I assume it doesn't cost the producers much money at all to release these items onto the store. You can still keep the super special exclusive ones in low chance RNG boxes if you want, I just won't buy those. But as for the rest, seems like they're basically missing out on free money by not even offering them on the cash store. Including male costumes - I know those don't sell as well as the female ones, but there are some of us who occasionally like to play male characters... and if the costume already exists in game, why not put it back into the cash shop and make a little extra money?

    Please bring back settle emote, if only for a little while. There's new school uniforms but you can only get settle from trade broker.

    maybe have a "Weekly Special lootbox" that has out of circulation costumes, skins, mount , etc, and advertise what will be in the box a week in advance or something. ( i desperately want the princess Arin maid outfit and kitchen dance emote but I only started playing TERA back in April so I'm SOL as far as the Emote and only just better on the outfit)

    This also can be good. Special loot boxes with certain items though, not like regular lootboxes lol

    The arin maid uniform and emote are also in the emporium, but since you started playing in April the best route for you would be going trade broker. They're pretty cheap, at least on my server. ^^

    It might be a nice idea to create a "Legacy Loot" Loot Box containing retired items that is only available for a limited time every month/three months/year. To be clear, I am suggesting a box that operates like the current Elin Garment Box one - you're guaranteed something each time. I get the whole "limited time" availability thing, but I think that things retired for 2+ years should have a chance at making a cameo again. You don't even need tons of items in the box; just reintroduce things into the game that haven't seen the light of day for a few years, and only bring them back rarely (once every couple of years). This might be amazing for a yearly Christmas event type box.

    Yeah, we definitely need this in TERA. Honestly, this game would earn so much money just because of that.
  • MesogogMesogog ✭✭✭
    +1 to this. Those boat cadet uniforms were awesome.
  • DeathologistDeathologist ✭✭✭
    We can also set some specific days, for example in Smite, there are time that some certain chests (boxes) are available and when Black Friday or Cyber Monday comes, all those chests come back again, so once awhile and couple of times a year every old items comes to store. I think we can do this.

    Didn't they originally say they would consider doing something like this anyway, like they did with the elin costumes? Thought for sure I read that they were "considering" doing the same thing for other races (the loot boxes with the random costumes, forget what they were called)
  • MeningitisMeningitis ✭✭✭✭
    They were considering garment bags for other races but instead we got a weapon skin box. Not that the weapon skin box is bad, but kinda sad since no other race garment bags to be seen yet.

    Thank you for the info about the emporium, I didn't even know it existed. Though I still stand by my previous statement about the weekly/monthly special box.
