Having to grind for all the mats, MW them, roll from three up to five lines properly, +12, awaken, +15, etching 3, 3% reroll on gear(doing the last eight things four times), make the superior brooch, buy a superior +20 crit innerwear, get 5 jewelry pieces, reroll all of them using semi scrolls, and obtain the belt though the newest HM (comes with getting mats but still)
This is ridiculous already, but now add a mount that costs up to 300K on TB or RNG your gold for it, and it amounts to absurdity. Tera's power creep is insane, and the continued ignoring of this fact from BHS only becomes more apparent every new patch.
The center can not hold for this, we seriously will need something to change or it'll be harder and harder to justify gearing alts or bringing new players into this mess
The gear creep is a bit meh for me right now too if I want to talk about that. I see no point trying to keep up with gear each patch, drop a couple mil each patch just to stay relevant isn't really my thing anymore. I'm happy other people don't think the same so they keep the economy going though.
Ironically none of that is required for Teras brain dead carebare content. People that want 100% gear do it for personal goals, and therefore shouldn't cry about it.
Welp its already being advertise here.
Being able to obtain it isn't the issue, even if it is currently cash shop exclusive. I have more than enough gold to afford them right now. The main issue is that giving a massive damage spike on an rng passive proc just isn't fun or balanced. As a dps I'll become more interested in hoping that my passives rng proc at the right moment during a burn rather than focusing on improving my gameplay, and that to me is a big step in the wrong direction for Tera.
This feels like Tera EU all over again. And I left that place for good.
You cant buy it from shop? Well, just wait and farm for one in game. Problem solved.
See my above comment. Obtaining them is none of my concern. It's that a 20-40% spike in my damage that's completely rng in how it activates just isn't fun. If that doesn't activate when I use a big cooldown like my quatrefoil brooch + fire avalanche or bombardment, etc. then my gear is effectively being downgraded from +15 imperator to schisma +9~ during that burst compared to someone that gets lucky with the rng proc.
p2s
This was brought up a number of times in the thread, and -- no matter how much people hate it -- is the only real issue. This angry thread should have happened last week and been much, much louder than this. Now, people have paid money for it. People have bought it from others via the broker. People who opened the lootboxes got the consumables and other runner-up prizes. It's just too late. The genie is out of the bottle and you cannot shove it back in.
Personally, I do think it's a bit questionable to add this passive skill to mounts, but at the end of the day the legal implications are what make the proposal to change it now untenable.
