It's taken me my whole 267 hours of gaming experience to get 11 event coins. I only recently discovered the EC uploads and have received a few more in the past week. I still think that ECs aren't up for grabs as often as they should be and the whole "EC pieces" idea is weak. I understand that you shouldn't be able to walk up and get free EC every 3 seconds, but I still think it's a bit harsh. Tell me what you think.
Today, getting Ec is soooo much easier than it used to be. When they were first released, you had to win events. Now, you get the occasional upload, ecs as prizes for special stuff, and the flat out free ones. I say be happy that you get so many without events, because as an older player, it ruins ecs and events for me. It just isn't as special.
Edit: Moved to correct location.
That's true! It takes skill when it was released back then, now mostly everyone have an ec item. I wish there's another event coin like a diamond coin or something , that are only special events. Having new events that nobody has mastered and getting those rare coins that you can spend on buying limited and rare events items for a period of time.Quote:

I just saw someone with 80/125ec and she doesn't play a single event at all+only 1k+ hours.
Pathetic isn't it.
There is no need for a change in Event coins now since many have bought tons of items from EC shop.
Too rare? Lol more like not rare enough.
Stop giving them a full ec for joining this site I say :/
Just a peice
Your Lucky to have ecs without winning any events,
EC - EVENT coin
Economic CoinQuote:

Just another idea..
If we make a new events house at southridge, there would be new ec items and the event coin is different. This event coin isn't given out in any ec uploads, events bot, vip etc. This one is rare to get and the items at the ec shop are very rare to be bought. To make this new, we're going to add new events that will take time instead of the same old and quick boring ones, which can be mastered in one day. The best example of a longer event is Trirace and Multirace, I know it's glitchy but there are other events ideas to be add on. At iZone, the event's hoster makes an announcement for people to vote on which event they wanted to play, but if this was implemented in Era, the players are only allowed to vote for 2 themes only which is Race and Skill. There would be no chance or team events, because that's an easy win for an ec. No trivia or bush races. Only a couple of staffs are allowed to host events at Southridge and it would be every weekends and only 3 ecs are given out for one day.
I would like to see some new event items instead of boring sabers
I want a tank that shoots explosives (it takes 1 minute to reload and only have 5 clip) and very slow with 500 hp. Players can't attack you with melees, only guns or explosives. Since it's slow, you can go through players (deals 2 dmg), barrels, proximity mines (deals 3 dmg from your health) and crates, all these items would be crushed if it was on the way.Quote:

All guns damages from the tank is only half the damage, so you don't die quickly from bars etc. If you did die, it takes 25 minutes to ride your tank again. The tank won't be able to go over foot paths so it doesn't block any base entrances and doors etc.
This isn't battlefield 4 angel..
It's era, we have guns, cars, bases. This is an idea, if we have a cars why not and we also have helicopers displayed? I don't even play battlefied 4.Quote:

Personally, I think more opportunities to earn ec should be introduced. Era doesn't have any main objectives so why make this one part of it difficult? The server doesn't profit at all from ec. And with the upcoming release of delteria on the ios and android platforms, era is going to be a ghost town if it doesn't mold to the players wants in a game. Some of us want to earn ec legit and some of us don't, but it doesn't mean that if ec become easier to get that you'll have to get them the easy way. Best option is to make ec easier to obtain, and leave the methods of obtaining up to the players.
Make the free ec and ec uploads change to ec pieces. EC should be earned ONLY in events.
No ec should be easy to obtain. The whole reason for it being called event coin is to win in events period. This is why you have riots in start for ec, they expect staff to give them anything they want with no hardship whatsoever. Those free ec's players get are privileges, not a right. If you want an easier way to earn ec, then they should make a long task that you have to do every week/month to get one or more ec, that way you aren't getting it handed out to you.Quote:

As a player who earned my ec I find it unfair. why? because people just sit around for ec uploads/ free ec and then receiving something without earning it.. Like mystic said changing it to ec pieces would be a better solution
No it's not
Most of Era would be really angry if we changed coins to pieces.
Exactly why it needs to be changed. Players are relying on it to much to get event items.Quote:

Well if something doesn't change then the players will start to feel like they can't reach these goals and may possibly quit. What if, to make everyone happy, there was a refund system so that players wouldnt need to go all the way to a saber, but make their way up. And this wouldn't change the rarity of ec since it you would gt back what you earned period. To make it better and more profitable for the server, there could be a 10000 gralat fee so that players would need to buy money packs. The event winners, the basers who use ec uploads, the players who use a mix, and the staff would be happy. That is my proposalQuote:

People don't appreciate the nice things, and instead try to abuse it by bugging staff members about it because they think staff have to give them what they want. Honestly, it sickens me.
And Yukimaru Hyoken, the rarity of ecs might not change, but the rarity of the items will. And refund systems have already been denied for multiple reasons on other threads.
The rarity of the items doesn't really matter if only the un-tradable items become refundable. And I'm suggesting this from the standing point of SNK. Business wise, this would boost the servers income and reduce the player loss from delteria and other various new games.
If your saying have a refund system for ec, no. For one, many players like myself have won an event item in auctions when it was allowed. That's giving those people who didn't earn it through events free ec. This isn't a rental system, you buy with no refunds. Those who have bought lots of ec items could just refund all of them and get a saber easily (you either have patience and hold on ec, or you don't and spend what you have). Refunds will not happen. The whole point is to earn it, practice events and you will get better. If they want to quit just because they can't win events, then they aren't going to get anywhere, practice makes perfect. You can't become a pro at events just in one try. I suggested a task that you will have to do work, not sit on your butt, for ec.Quote:

Hi OreOs!
It's really not that rare anymore. There are EC uploads, but if you don't have a Facebook, then bummer. One time two days before Thankgiving, (it was a Tuesday), snk gave out an EC if we could get 1,700 players online. Also, most of the time, EC is given out for VIP item of the month. I disagree with the EC being too rare.
I dont think EC is rare its just a bit difficult to get at times.
Not really starting an argument, more like a debate. I mean it's a pretty good topic to discuss on.Quote:

Snk already mentioned in the second post that EC refund system will never happen.
We don't care what you bought, it's your choice and if you hate it, don't rant here about a refund that you already knew will not happen so easily.
Mystic said, EC's are to be earned. While gralats are both earn and pack- it's your choice.
You can train in events, there isn't a rule to not have you do so. There are many ways to train in something.
