For the illiterate people from last thread. The guy who was using google translate for that webpage corrected himself in that it was 100% STAMINA pots, not hp. So basically alt gear, some quality of life things like crystals not breaking (buy this or just buy the crystals in game), or hp and mp regen buffs of unknown strength but likely not much if we go by how much crystals affect these things.

This is even assuming it comes to EU/NA.


Are you overlooking the 5%/sec for 20 seconds potions? It's still 100%, but not immediate. Those are different from the 100% stamina ones.


Those are bandages, read the front page. AKA not usable in combat. They won't affect a pvp encounter at all.

As far as the buffs nobody knows the strength. If we assume it's crystal strength that's like 61hp every 5 seconds with an hp pool of 50-60k.


Yah, I redacted that part about the bandage, looks like you saw my post first. =) I do always take care to correct myself when I'm wrong. I'd like to think it makes me a reasonably responsible poster.

I am pretty sure we know where all you guys stand on pay to win. We love the feedback and it will weigh heavily in our future decisions - but right now we just aren't making those decisions.

MMO's are an ongoing service that need to adapt to the community it creates. TERA's community won't be fully realized until we launch in May. You can never say never when developing an MMO that goes for anything.


PR, PR, more PR, empty promises, some more PR, and a vague uncomforting "probably not, but maybe".

Not cool Knox.

As I stated K-Tera can keep there cash-shop trash. Vanity or not It soon becomes a cheesey pay to win system. It also sets up a Ftp future, not that It's going to happen. Na doesn't need cash-shop crap. If we want vanity items we can get them ingame with events ect.

so your still taking in the consideration of adding pay to win even though the community is against it? it is a no brainer... but then again more money at the cost of the games life. Idk, seems like a hard decision then doesnt it?

Regardless even if they haven't made a decision, and most likely won't for along time, we need to let them know as a player base we will not support pay to win in any shape or form for future reference. Stand strong brothers and sisters!

@Gez I will remember your request when we decide what to do with the glasses. Can't have you swinging your weapon around blindly.

for people still arguing the items

There is a 100% heal Bandage, as someone pointed out, means no combat use.
There is a 100% stam pot that can be used in combat
There is a 100% res scroll, its like normal ones, but the person comes back at 100% everything.

I wonder how many cancels you'll see due to this indecision. One here. That you won't completely refute the existence of pay2win in a subscription based game is utterly ridiculous.
