Strongbox event idea.

KanayuuKanayuu
in TERA PC - General Discussion
I just want to tell you some ideas about upcoming events and matters of the dragon issues. Recently, EME has released Mongos Event, 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.

    We need another strongbox event :(

    Making a new thread every few days isn't going to get your idea any more attention or make it any more legitimate. As Derpybowl said, very few of the keys used during strongbox events actually come from CS- they are mostly from people buying EMP or from the Emporium.

    If you have a new idea for your own topic, you're better off posting a comment in the thread you had already started rather than creating an entirely new one.

    Look at the real world. There are events where you can e.g. win a car/smartphone/PC/whatever. Ever wondered why the cars you can win are limited to something like 5 cars overall? Because the cars are for sale and not giveaways in the lottery.

    tera's economy is not "broken" just because you don't earn enough gold through spamming channelworks. enchanting materials are still expensive and i'd always rather get 1000 premium alks than some stupid costume.

    Can't we just get decent smart dyad jackpots and call it a day? Do we really need more Googly Eyes?

    Let me guess, u bought a bunch of strongbox keys and now ur scared its gonna be worthless cus mats are so cheap. Thats why u keep spamming on forums bout strongbox event when nobody wants one. Last 4 topics u posted are all strongbox related. U brought this on urself when u bought out strongbox keys without looking at the market.

    Economy is pretty broken I mean MWA used to be around 65-70 gold and now its 23. You might not think its such a bad thing but when it costs marginally less to enchant the left over gold gets stockpiled and all of a sudden people are willing to pay more for other things that cant exactly be farmed.

    Like what? Everything I've looked at lately has either remained stable or dropped in price.
