[dev1122] "Gear Tickets"

[Tsukino_Kaji]

•Tickets (official name TBD) have been added that may be exchanged for the following items—heretofore known as Pulse Panoplia—that are imbued with a mysterious luminescence:
Anhur Robe / Fazheluo Radiant Mail / Mextli Harness / Mekira Meikogai / Toci's Harness / Heka's Kalasiris /Asteria /Borealis / Coruscanti / Ephemeron / Murasamemaru / Delphinius / Aytanri
The Exchange Process:
1.When obtaining a pulse weapon or piece of armor from a Riftworn Pyxis, select "Obtain as ticket."
*These items are stackable (up to twelve), deliverable, and may be traded or sold at the auction hour(There's a typo here.) as well as from bazaars.
2.Trade the specified amount of ticket items to the NPC Ardrick in Junger Forest (I-8) and he will reconstruct the appropriate piece of equipment.
*In order to have equipment reconstructed, players must first receive the designation for defeating the Voidwalker that drops the corresponding ticket items.
*The required number of ticket items may vary.

Ok so the Dev Team dose realize that this witll completely devalue and/or negate the corrisponding crafted bodies and the price tag on the bodies from pulse will be around 10mil not more? Wasn't this update suppose to make these items more obtainable to the general playing populous?

If the Ticket bodies are well over 10mil, the crafted bodies won't take too much of a hit. Also, it does open up these bodies to a lot more people, especially after the massive rush to be the first to grab up overpriced tickets dies down. Hell, I know a lot of people who could have spent less time farming 50mil than they've spent trying to find Mekira body.

I think the ticket system is awesome, and it provides incentive for people to continue the event even after they've gotten their drops, providing those without them, more chances to do the battles.

The tickets are still going to be valuable coveted items so I don't think it will be a big deal.

Ticket system is virtually useless and doesn't really increase incentive to keep doing NMs at all, especially if it requires 3+ tickets, of the rarest drop from these nms.

Asteria and Murasamemaru aren't even good.

People do qilin just to sell the plates so I think you may be wrong. Now that they are sellable though shouldn't they require more then just 3 trades to get the bodies?

[Neisan_Quetz]

Aside from a few very lucky people Corsucanti isn't so common that people will be making a ton of tickets out of it.

[Devnull]

I may be speaking with a grave misunderstanding in mind but... it doesn't specifically say that there will be multiple types of tickets when I re-read the official post. Is it made clear somewhere that there will be a ticket type per item dropped, or might it be possible that tickets will be unified, meaning for every 5 tickets out of any type of drops, you can exchange it for what you want?

Unless it's clarified, I think we'll have to wait and see, because if there are indeed different type of tickets, it won't flood the market, but it might if there's only 1 type of tickets.

[Kincard]

The way the Japanese post is worded it suggests that there are different tickets for each item.

Speaking of which, why does the translation team leave entire lines out of the English version of the notes? There was like 3 or 4 lines of info that was left out/not translated properly. We get almost everything else translated verbatim. I mean, I guess it's not too big a deal since these announcements are always subject to change, but it would be nice if you guys left in key details like 5 tickets being needed so we can actually discuss/feedback the news like the Japanese playerbase is able to (And isn't feedback the whole damn reason these forums were created).

Um, yeah, the English says this too, is somebody getting the idea it doesn't work this way?

edit: I suppose it's not directly stated, but it's implied. Did people really think it meant "obtain generic ticket for any item"?

"When obtaining a pulse weapon or piece of armor from a Riftworn Pyxis, select "Obtain as ticket [for that pulse weapon or piece of armor].""

[Kincard]

Apparently so. See: Post above me. It helps to read the entire thread before you respond. People speculate all kinds of improbable things when wording is vague, and I'm placing the blame on the translators for one reason: The original text here DID make it clear without question. I don't understand why they decide to translate it in a way so that the wording becomes more vague, this is the kind of stuff that made people buttmad back when augments were first released (Except in that case it was a full-on translation error).

Well actually maybe they took that to heart so now they just translate stuff incredibly vaguely and leave entire lines out so the playerbase can blame each other for interpreting things incorrectly.
