There were more than a few threads all talking about Kyra's Pop-up potion shack. They've all been merged into this thread. Please don't make additional threads for this topic. Post your feedback and questions here instead. Thanks!

The other times I've seen this event, the catalysts were always able to be saved for the next event. This time around, we have to use them. Is this going to be the case if and when we get this event in the future?

If we have to use them, rip us. But its still better than nothing I suppose.

The catalysts are being removed after this event for a few reasons. ONE of those reasons is a massive hoarding of catalysts from previous Kyra events. Each time an event like this gets planned by the En Masse team, we want it to be a balanced experience that awards active players equally. The fact that old catalysts stick around months after they've been earned presents one more hurdle in trying to plan the event. We want to keep Kyra's fun and rewarding not just for this iteration, but future Kyra events. Removing catalysts will help make that happen, and it will also open up possibilities for the production team to try different things with Kyra's.

Although it was never stated that catalysts would be useful after any of the Kyra's events ended (the Pop-Up Potion Shack could have always used other items), we realized that an expectation had built itself up after multiple Kyra events used the same catalysts. We knew at this point it wouldn't be fair to the community to remove everyone's catalysts without warning or switch items to something else. That's why we announced it before this Kyra's started. That gives players over two weeks to claim rewards with the catalysts they have, which should be plenty of time for active players.

Okay fair enough, though im still not getting the part about "keep Kyra fun and rewarding", how exactly is kyra going to be fun and rewarding with a chance to drop catalysts against a 100% drop chance from before, its a roulette nothing else.
Before you atleast knew you will be getting that one catalyst, or if lucky two, but now its nothing but RNG fest.

With the removal of the blue boxes its basically going to be a mega grindfest where you grind for hours to get what, maybe 10 catalysts for two uses and get some trash that will clutter your inventory.

The blue boxes were definitely op, but removing them completely just kills the fun, plus they were a good alternative when you got tired of running the same dungeons for hours.
You could have just lowered the ammount of catalysts from the boxes to idk, 2-3 and it would still feel rewarding.

Im just baffled at how you want to make an event fun when you gut it to bare bones with each new release.

@Spacecats I've run two SSHM's now and only one of them rewarded me a catalyst. I'm continuing on, but so far the dungeon doesn't seem to be a guaranteed drop as intended.

Thanks. I see multiple people posting about this and I've let the production team know. They're looking into it!

SSHM didn't give any either.

You'd have an easier time getting the attention of EME if you posted in the thread Spacecats is replying to, here: http://forums.enmasse.com/tera/discussion/3608/kyra-s-pop-up-potion-shack#latest

It happens sometimes, but they're usually pretty good about compensating for things that go askew. At least word is out that it's screwey and we can just wait until they fix it.

ABHM, SSHM and SSNM are not 100%,

It's a known issue, come hang out in either of these threads with us while we wait for it to be fixed :chuffed:

Saintoz · June 2016

i have the same Problem. I do SSNM and nothing happen!!

Terraforming · June 2016

Lets get real here. The reason the catalysts are going to get wiped is because they want to push the sales of more catalysts with EMP for the next event.

I feel bad for anyone who is unable to participate in this event. All their hard earned/purchased catalysts will be gone with only a 2 weeks notice.

Mehbah · June 2016

We also did two SSHM and only got a catalyst from the first one.

Also, you really need to remove the RNG aspect from catalyst gathering and/or give more catalysts per run. Just a chance of one catalyst per run? That's ridiculous when the drop table is as diluted with garbage as it is now.
