Iron and Crimson Dragons 10/25/16

JokerA · October 2016

EME lo volviste a hacer. aunque la verdad ya no me sorprende nada de lo que hacen y de las decisiones que toman. honestamente se que lo que dicen no lo cumplen y cambian a su antojo lo que quieren y están en su derecho de hacerlo. y dime eme ¿donde quedo la posibilidad de comprar la montura por personaje si solo estarán en venta para cuenta?. las loot box son una perdida de oro y las quest que seran solo 6 con mi suerte que tengo. jamas lo tendre. fue divertido jugar tera en su momento cuando eras mas equilibrado donde no importaba si eres f2p o p2w donde con esfuerzo podias llegar a tener cosas buenas, pero en la actualidad o eres p2w o no eres nada

the only problem with dragons, is the bonus of crit power.
the people in dungeons or pvp dont need a skilled player, the people is very very elitist and they want the people with to max damage to finish a dungeon HM or just kill faster and easier to his enemies.
that's how they see it:
No dragon no dps, although the passive is only possibility.

I like to finish dungeons HM but a person is rejected for not have a passive that increases dps, and that person needs to pay 500k for be an acceptable person.

No one is accepted or rejected for having a dragon or not. I just don't want to spend an extra 500k per character for a very significant bonus.

Iron and Crimson dragons are set to release October 25! Players will be able to get these dragons multiple ways:
Account Bound Iron and Crimson dragons will be available through the TERA Store. As with all account-bound mounts, they aren’t tradeable. These mounts will have 1% HP and MP regeneration, but no combat stats.

Royal Iron and Crimson dragons will be available through Loot Boxes in the TERA Store. These boxes will be lower in price compared to Diamond and Ghost dragons, but like Diamond/Ghost they’ll grant the Draconis Rex passive, giving a chance to double Crit Power. They also have 2% HP/MP regen and a party buff that increases mounted movement speed by 10.

Non-tradeable Iron Dragons and Crimson Dragons will be obtainable by earning Dragon Scales. These versions will grant Dragon Master, giving a chance to increase Crit Power by a factor of 1.5.

Here’s how to obtain dragons in-game…

First off please note that none of the materials or resulting items involved in this process are tradeable or bankable. To begin, Dragon Scales can be earned through certain Vanguard Quests (see below). A single character will be able to earn up to six Dragon Scales each day by completing all six quests. We’ll also be looking to include Dragon Scales as rewards in other places, like through special events and the daily calendar rewards. These Dragon Scales will open a token shop, where you can spend fifty Dragon Scales to obtain a Hardening Dragon Egg.

The Hardening Dragon Egg can be opened like a box, with a small chance to contain either an Iron Dragon or a Crimson Dragon (both dragons have an equal chance of appearing). If you don’t get either dragon in your egg, you’ll receive a Dragon Claw instead. Eight Dragon Claws combine in your inventory to create a Mysterious Dragon Egg.

The Mysterious Dragon Egg can then be opened, and may contain an Iron Dragon or a Crimson Dragon. The chance of getting a dragon from these Mysterious Eggs is much better than the Hardening Dragon Egg. If you still weren’t lucky enough to get a dragon, you’ll receive two Dragon Claws instead, giving you a head start on getting your next Mysterious Dragon Egg.

The following Vanguard Requests will grant Dragon Scales as rewards:
Shadow Sanguinary (Hard)

Sky Cruiser Endeavor (Hard)

Lilith’s Keep (Hard)

Ruinous Manor (Hard)

Ruinous Manor (Normal)

Corsair’s Stronghold

If my memory serves me right, while ago you said that you want veteran players to be rewarded and to have easier access to those mounts, can you please tell us how is any of those ways rewarding for "veteran" players?

I'm just curious.

ikr why cant this question be answered....veteran players getting the mounts easier. or did they mean that if you are a vetern player that you should be geared up enough to farm the dungeons....

Well, I just sincerely hope the next patch is the most bug-free one you've ever released, I really, really, really do, otherwise it'll feel like a terrible flop. I mean, we all know a bunch of silly bastards will buy a ton of EMP boxes to re sell the items, like always, but do people at BHS really think this was a good idea?

MidokuPasta · October 2016

Are the store mounts going to be some insane price like 60.00 again?

Haggard86 · October 2016

just dropping by on my way out.

TeraDestiny · October 2016

This is a complete disaster. I was initially defending the staff for trying to make the free dragons actually obtainable, but this feels like outright betrayal.

The double layered rng is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. You were on a good track with the weapon skin tokens as a fail net if the rng really doesn't go your way, and what came out of that - "Yo, dawg, I heard you like rng, so I added rng within your rng. Really wack." No matter how much you fail because of lousy rng, there is no guarantee that you will ever get the mount, because it's a perpetual cycle of farming rng items. Not to mention that casual players won't even see the tokens, because of the items appearing only in instances they aren't interested in clearing. Even leaving the crit passive aside (which is just added oil to the fire), there are probably players that want to farm the mount just because they look cool, like the black leopard, which is obtainable from the daily quest line. The only way for them to obtain it will be by buying it for real money or with gold. And even if you manage to get lucky after years of farming, because eh, it happens sometimes - too bad! Your mount is inferior to the cash shop version.

Wow, I suppose this was really something that the higher-ups decided, but it doesn't make it any less pay to win. Good thing that I don't pay for subscription or any services with real money, because if I were, this move would've made me boycott any type of payment in the foreseeable future. I even feel sorry a bit for Spacecats, because he has to take this shitstorm up his face as a mediator, but the community has every right to be angry.

If TERA were a progressive metal band, they'd be playing the progressive of the progressive of the progressive. Just the way they do with the RNG of the RNG of the RNG in the game.

Gaalrak · October 2016

I'm sorely disappointed by this decision. Everything I wanted to say has already been expressed by other members of the community, so all I can do is suggest that you immediately get off this path you're deciding to follow, because you're going to start losing players after this. P2W is basically sacrificing long term monetary goals earned off of a loyal player base, for a quick burst of cash by the mastercard heroes who want to prove they're the best by swiping.

Fleett · October 2016

And here I was all excited to read news about the free way of getting dragons and it turned out to be a joke. Not funny EME.

DarkCroft · October 2016

GJ EME, keep lying to your player base and see what happens!

Daewa · October 2016

This is almost as bad as DT claiming he isn't a misogynist.

Deleted User · October 2016

More P2W? Are you kidding me? You are not stupid so you know that a massive amount of your players are latin americans, what you pay for the P2W we [filtered] pay 2 3 4 5 times more, not only unfair, it's a way to eslave people that can't afford with P2W and then have to waste an undetermined time from their lives farming ingame to get the same [filtered] as people whose currency is dollar or euro! And don't come say "stop playing then" because if we really stop playing this game will bankrupt! Get back in the decision or I am the first one stopping playing, after years playing this! And don't think I'll get sad: bad optimized game, high ping for latin americans and now getting more and more a P2W game. Nowadays we surely have better stuff to play. I ask you gently/humbly, don't let [filtered] happen to react later!
