hi @Spacecats, i did 3 ABHM, 2 SSNM, all around 11+am pst, out of those, only received 2 kyra crystals. My friend in the same party did and received the same, however later on, he received multiple catalysts via parcel and i did not. How do i receive those multiple crystals?
Again, its pointless to remove the catalysts at the end of the event when people can just swipe at the beginning of a new Kyra, thats what i was talking about.
Its seems fair only if you look at the players that obtain them by playing the game, but in the end it makes no difference against those players who swipe, wich is what i was trying to tell you, if you look at it from both sides.
The "we want to make Kyra fair for everyone" is pointless when you can swipe and get hundreds of catalysts in a matter of seconds against players who would need weeks or months to get anywhere near that ammount for cash.
And this hardly helps economy, to help economy they should fix it by adding long term alternatives, not throwing them into a temporary event, wich btw wont help new players in obtaining mats, due to the low drop rate of catalysts, unless they swipe.
same here my friend but somehow even they are too obvious about how money-grubbing they are we still give them real money, are we taht stupid? well it's gw2 for me again bb tera
I decided to test the waters today, so to speak. I am elite. So I took 3 toons through every normal dungeon and 2 hard modes.
I ran every entry on 3 toons of the following: Kalivan's Challenge, CW, Abscess, DF, Timescape, Dread hard, FI, and arena. It took quite a while to do this.
My total # of catalysts from all of those runs combined from all 3 toons: 2 catalysts. Remember I am elite. So many of these dungeons have 2-4 entries.
This took all day to test. And I am quite annoyed by this. How is a casual player, or mid tear geared player supposed to get catalysts? I am so sick of RNG! A few guild mates tested this too. Many of them are new or just returned since then ninja patch. They had similar results. One did have good RNG and got 3 catalysts out of 11 dungeons. But he was the only one.
It just isn't right as far as RNG. Why should some people be rewarded with something, when another player, puts in the same amount of time- running the same dungeons and get nothing. There should be some kind of guaranteed drop for other than hard mode. My guildmates and friends can't run hard mode yet. And I refuse to pug. The 2 times today that I did try a hard mode dungeon, I got kicked both times at the final boss- just so people could get their friends in there, to get the guaranteed catalyst. This is the new trolling method. Have someone do the work and they kick ya, before the benefits.
Extremely disappointed in this event!
I love everything you wrote and I can't agree more, however I am afraid your message will go undetected because it seems...NO ONE CARES! and that is the saddest thing, I think I have the right to say so because so many posts, all complain, all dissatisfied and we still haven't gotten any reply concerning blue boxes, it's like it doesn't matter what the community wants. Well guess what, without us there wouldn't be a game, servers would be dead completely but still we are the least important. And please don't anyone tell me that they can't change something because BHS served them the program and they can't encode what they want BECAUSE THIS EVENT HAPPENED ALREADY SO THEY CAN JUST BRING IT BACK because they already have it!
1) Too much junk diluting the prize pool
2) Catalysts not dropping when they supposed to (in HM dg) or taking too much rng to drop
3) Jackpot of EMP and elite voucher (which arguably is the most valuable prize) removed
Just take it that the event doesnt exist and run dg for vg dailies...
Had to hop off for some time but Thanks for taking the time to reply to my question. I myself never hoarded them but I can see how that can cause problems.
I just wish they dropped a bit more often.
Yes some people farmed the last kyras event 24/7 but that's no reason to basically to make a "Kyras Potion Shack Event" with ridiculous drop rates and the rewards are essentially cheap accessories just to avoid of lying to their player base. This is not an event to spent your money. EME removed the high value jackpots to get a kyras reset without losing money. Instead of improving the ingame economy (titan's ember and mostly emp related items) and motivating us to play more Tera to farm catalysts.
no trolling pls
because there's no wild boxes in this event.
Everything aside... I think it's because players do not object to what's being done.
Ok I know you are wishing there's a downvote button but this is the case:
Game is hard and a lot of grind needed
New gears are very very hard to get but people will either pay the bandwagon tax to buy the new gears, or farm for endless hours to get them and spend tons of resource +15 it. Even when feedstocks were approaching 40g each it did not deter people from awakening items. When starfall first came out it was not obtainable from any dungeon except lotto boxes, yet people still went through the trouble to make SF while complaining about how hard it is to make back then.
Game is easy and you get +15 on anything you want
Then let's look at the scenario where people get what they want... TAR (That ain't right), a daily quest that can be grinded to the max for vanguard, feedstock and also gold if you sell the items. +15 was a breeze since MWA were pretty much 28-30 g each. And that's when the biggest decline of Tera population was. You could virtually find nobody in Velika or Cutthroat Harbor.
So what would be the natural option as the publisher? Make it hard so you keep grinding, then only release the easy mode when you are about to quit to keep you hooked, then the cycle goes repeat. Everything they do is custom tailored, data mined to see your behavioural response.
Because whether you like it or not, we are slaves of this game.
But you're still there, playing. As a matter of fact, you're reading into this forums, hoping, HOPING that EME will [filtered] wipe their decision earlier and we'll all be happy.
Nah, just kidding. I just got nothing to say. lol
