About the Castanica Demons Smartbox on the Calendar

edited August 2016 in TERA PC - General Discussion
So it has been clarified that the smartbox from the Calendar will grant a 7 day version through a global message, however, these smartboxes are tradable, and look identical to the ones that come from the store, which grant a permaneant one. There is no way in determining which Smart box will grant the permaneant one when looking at the trade broker (since the descriptions are identical), and the boxes from the calendar need to be labeled accordingly.

    I was about to point out the same thing using a ticket but I hope they do something about this issue. Also the costumes don't show how long will it last unless it's your own. If someone else links me their castanic 7 days costume, the remaining time won't show so... that could lead to a scam as well. Take that in count for the next costume box.

    This is clearly an error; they copied the box but didn't update the text to include the duration, as is normally done on other smartboxes.

    Yeah, as far as I know, that's always been how it is, but it seems this particular box didn't have that for whatever reason. I don't think they can change the text for items on the fly, so makes sense to withdraw it for now.

    Except the damage has been done already and already tons of people have claimed it and selling on the broker. They need to relabel the boxes now, or somehow take those boxes away from the game, or more people will get scammed. Everyone in the future cannot trust buying a Castanica demons box in the future if nothing gets changed, since those boxes will always remain somewhere.

    Well, at least it was only a 7 day. Guess I was excited for nothing, and by the time I got back on the game they changed it to spellbinds.

    With maintenance they can change the text for all the boxes still out there, but I don't think it's possible to zap the items out of the game magically either without maintenance (plus a fair bit of planning/testing). In the end, you're right that the damage is done, but I'm not sure if there is a "quick fix". It sucks.

    That's... really unfortunate. :/

    Thanks for posting about this, you guys. The box has been removed from the calendar. We'll work on dealing with this item since people are taking advantage of the situation, but it's not going to be a quick fix, and in the meantime please spread the word that people should avoid purchasing Castanica Demons Smart Boxes from the broker.

    EDIT - I'll add that this was totally my fault! I put the item on the calendar thinking it would be a cool temporary costume for people to enjoy, and it didn't occur to me that people would take advantage of the fact that it has the same name as the permanent smart box. imo it's a bit uncool that some players are trying to make a buck this way, but admittedly it should not have been made possible in the first place. I apologize if honest players are burned by this.

    This is from the other post about this loot box.
