Emote cards. Can't they be changed ?

ncsoft never changes item IDs, they leave huge gaps between them too so there really is no risk in that respect.

soulbinding is set server side, even for people without the modified items.pak nothing is soulbound atm and even if u remove soulbinding restriction from the items.pak it is ultimately server side that decides whether u can trade or not so that shouldnt be a problem.

stacks/splitting is set in the items.pak so im not 100% sure what would happen if you were to give a player a server enabled stack without client enabling it, though that could be tested on your test server ahead of time

i could see a better way of implementing all of this. u can add a custom check to ur database based on whether a player bought the item before (purchase logs?) and from then on allow him to buy it for free repeatedly. that would prevent any client side problems (as long as its not tradeable)

edit: if u use the website shop instead of the black cloud trader for the last bit, it would be really easy to implement

 

If this is the way it works I think this would still be the best option. It could still be bought and gifted to others and as soon as it's used once it'd become soulbound , correct ?

 

yep although i never tested soulbinding on non-equipable items so gotta see how that goes. i really should set up my own test server the item has that parameter, but then again all of them do by default, still gotta test how it works in practice

 

*crosses fingers* I really hope it'll work. or at least that we can find a decent alternative instead of losing the emote code after teaching it to one character >w<

 

think the purchase log method would be the best for everyone. that way everybody who bought it in the past could get it on their other chars as well because the transaction is in the logs already and they could get others for free (untradeable ones)

 

pfft don't make me laugh smartik you know how things get done around here. By the way I would vote for you if they ever nominate you as C.E.O lol!

 

Could work yes :3. But what would happen if (like in my case) someone gets gifted the emote cards ? They'd be stuck with using it once ? >-<;

 

*dances to draw attention to the cards*

 

Any update regarding this ?

 

Aaaaany update ?

 

lol dont expect anything to happen its one of those things people call a good idea but dont really do anything about. just like the most recent threads box sections so we could stop going to the tera one when it has nothing to do with us. they said they would do it at few points in time, never happened

 

I've been saving my expensive emote cards for all this time hoping for it to get implemented. Seeing a new big update was really hoping to see something mentioned about it but already expected to see nothing. Am still gonna try here though, update this topic and hope to get a response/update on the matter ._.

 

here is the sad truth why there is no rush to implement it
1. people who already paid for them will want it for all their chars too. those who bought it for multiple chars already will want a refund/credits
2. people who want emotes buy them right now anyway, even if it is just for 1 char
3. big spenders buy them for all their characters which means extra cash for gamez

there is no incentive for them to want this. you may call it unfair, but for them it's profitable

 

1. Well true, people that already bought the emote cards and used them would want it for all their characters too and I guess this would be a hard thing to do. Not sure what to do about this
2. I'm pretty sure there's a ton of people not buying these emotes because they think it's way too expensive to pay this much credits for a single cosmetic product. Now if more characters would be able to use it it would be a one time purchase which changes things for a lot of people.
3. In general I've hardly seen people with the dances. And I doubt that there's that many people that bought all the dances for all characters. In fact I think Gamez would generate more money if they make the item re-usable on 1 account. The extra amount of people buying it would make up for the few people that buy the cards for multiple characters.

But ya , I guess I just got false hopes when I had people agreeing with me ._.

 

Bumping this and hope it will be implemented against all odds >:3!

 

For the sake of dancing ? ._.!

 

id say pm a staff member to find out if they actually discussed it or dropped it chances r they wont see this thread

 

Had a talk with a Senior AM. Was told to post my suggestion in the ongoing PvP rewards suggestion even though it's unrelated. Alente responded to every single suggestion in that topic except for mine. That kinda hugely disappointed me but I guess I'll just keep waiting >_<;

 

Anything at all ? ._.

 

Alente & other staff. Please change this! Do it as a christmas present to me ? *puppy eyes*
