Strongbox Event Tweak: Economy for mats

I just want to tell you some ideas about upcoming events and matters of the dragon issues. Recently, EME has released Mongos Event and a 2x drop, which our Tera economy has boomed so much that all materials such as: Feedstocks, Spellbind, Masterwork Alkahest, Master Enig., Etc. has been drastically lowered in price. Thus, for upcoming event, I believe we should have a Strongbox Event with dragons, dyeable costumes, and lootbox accessory for jackpot.

The reason behind why Strongbox Event makes sense with dragons, dyeable costumes, and lootbox accessory for jackpot, especially dragons, is because Corsair Stronghold is DEAD. It's absolutely dead. The queue time takes 1-3 hours typically. Thus players are not getting a lot of Strongbox Keys and the event would be satisfying to the economy of Tera to include dragons, costumes, and accessories. The typical ratio of strongbox key's price to the strongbox event jackpot price is NOT worth spending it on if it's just enchanting materials. The event would be a complete failure with enchanting materials as jackpot because of how cheap they're currently compared to strongbox key price.

Because of the recent outrages of only releasing P2W version of Dragons, lootbox(495) that's got 1/30 chance of obtaining a dragon, the community is extremely enraged with the decisions EME has made and their mistakes. So, I believe to make things right, EME should add in dragons in the upcoming strongbox event.

Of course, being the dragon as most "prized" creation of Tera in the history, I think EME should lower the jackpot for dragons, for royal ones at least. It'll keep the dragons in top tier of prize and also doesn't inject it massively into the economy.

All I'm requesting you to do is change the Strongbox Event prizes. Something other than enchanting materials specifically. It's just not worth opening strongboxes with just enchanting materials because of how expensive and hard to get strongbox keys are. By adding in Dragons, dyeable costumes, and lootbox accessories, people would actually bring back Corsair Stronghold and they would open strongboxes. Strongbox key's price and how hard it is to obtain is not worth spending it on just to get some cheap and low price enchanting materials in this economy today.

Comments

  • The prizes don't need to be loot box exclusives, people would buy keys instead of loot boxes for those items. Regular non-dyeable versions of the costumes would work too. Same for the mounts, they can be flying pigs, llamas or flying lions/horses, something that you can buy for a set amount of EMP.
  • Add imperator weapon/armor boxes plus tweak the enchant rate, make it more difficult. With that, players will unknowingly burn all their feeds and alk during the event >:)
  • no need strongboxes jackpot event

    and they need droop elleon, dragosn or other stuff like this, ..................... cs boxes are fine too, ............. but pliss, perma etching are obtaniable in the game, you cant pay for them,
