    @Treeshark I disagree completely with the community. Let's be honest. You can get the dragons both from the cash shop and in game. You can get both the royal and normal variations. It's literally available to all players. The passives are not overpowered at all if everyone has access to them. All I hear is I'm too lazy to farm BAMs to get my own and I want to rage . You guys charge a fair price for the mounts plus RNG from loot boxes so I really don't know what the big deal is. The only literal difference I see between the mounts from the cash shop and BAMs are color variations, which are cosmetics. If I understand correctly you can get both the normal and royal Crimson and Iron dragon mounts from tokens with the same buffs. So excuse me I'm not impressed with the community reaction.

    Pretty sure you're in the wrong thread. Dragons aren't available as drops at all.

    @Valiona What people, including myself are upset about is a bit more in depth than just that. It is about how they are deliberately releasing an RNG box that will only give a few people the royal dragon. The thing is that only those that can toss around 5 USD easily stand a chance of getting it, some tried it 30 times with nothing.

    The buffs are not too over powered, but they are more OP than you let on they being, but the random nature makes it seem less likely. However, to a lot of people that is P2W. Sadly the thing with many things in the game seems like its going this route, but later on they do eventually add them...

    but right now there is NO in game PvE or PvP versions, they only released the loot box ones so it sucks. And they didn't make it so that we can buy the dragons out right... so, yeah... People are getting mad for all the right reasons.

    1) It's not pay to win. You can get everything necessary to be strong in-game, even if it takes a (very) long time. this is a special mount with boosts and buffs and etc. It's not necessary to excel in the game, it just makes things better - as does many other emp shop items (like outfits, though I realize outfits don't have buffs).
    2) Loot boxes with chance rewards are nothing new. Mounts being in them seems to be a newer thing but oh well. Once they iron out bugs and such we can save in-game tokens for some as well. Just the fact that the royal ones are available in-game is quite a relief to me (I assumed normals were going to be on in-game and royal on emp shop, but they didn't do that, and I'm grateful).
    3) Just let this take some time and we'll see more and more people with dragons. I won't say the concerns over the buffs are totally invalid, but I think they might be a little off.

    IMHO. No worries if you disagree with me.

    TERA just went through a server merger, now is the prefect time to listen to people concerns before people start to leave even more. While I'm not going to leave the game, it could be just enough reason for others to.

    Hmmm, I put in the code for the free 6 day dragon mount...and nothing? where is it.
  • allofspaceandtimeallofspaceandtime ✭✭✭✭✭
    enterthedragon code is only for 6 day elite, not for the dragon mount.

    I lucked out and got the royal diamond on my first lootbox. (yeah go ahead and hate me.)

    I'd still pay 4995 for an account bound version though.
  • allofspaceandtimeallofspaceandtime ✭✭✭✭✭
    I think many people would pay 4995 for an account bound dragon mount as long as you can choose the color

    So no actually buying the dragons from the shop, huh? How many hundreds of $$$ must I spend in order to get one through the boxes (already spent $40 and no luck whatsoever)? Got a ton of alkahests and spellbinds instead, which nowadays are worth almost nothing on the market compared to a couple years ago.

    It was a hype for me when I heard the dragons will be available as a mount. But when those mounts ONLY obtainable through loot boxes the hype went to the drains. Account bound is preferable.
    Dragon loot boxes is ripping players money when the RNG is sucks. (Assuming you bought over 100 boxes but no luck on getting the mount)

    As the hype goes away~ Tera servers still DC and lagging/delaying so bad.

    It hurts A LOT when you played Tera from SEA with average 250~289ms and now over 360~570ms.

    But still the pig loot box is awesome tho. Gonna stick with the pig~

    How do we enter the code? I went to the elite status in store and clicked manage elite status but it wants me to buy it and doesn't offer any option for code.

    If you can buy something without making a single effort, regardless that YOU CAN FARM IT IN GAME TOO, then by DEFINITION it is pay to win :D buy 20k emp, sell for 1:35 ratio, get 700k gold, buy an imperator off of broker in 5 minutes without ever playing sshm once....that is COMPLETE P2W FOR THE PERSON WHO DID IT THAT WAY!!!!!!!!!!! it doesn't matter that I will play sshm and craft imperator the regular way the other person who bought it shows us it is p2w, there will always be people who do it the normal, more skillful way and that takes more time, and there will always be people who will just use their money, but my dear firend to say "it is not pay to win..." makes us wonder do you even know tera at all o.0
