The current version does not include the highest resolution textures. We were doing some testing in alpha to see if we could maintain a high quality level with a smaller resolution. After testing we didn't feel it met our standard.

So what does that mean to you? It means we have a high resolution patch in testing. In all likely hood this will go live today or tomorrow and be an additional 7GB. There is a chance it fails testing (it does have other fixes included as well) and will not make it before this weekend . This means that this weekends closed beta test won't have the most badass settings possible in TERA. It still looks damn good but it will get better once this patch goes live.

We just wanted to be as transparent as possible so that you guys aren't playing super sleuth on screenshot comparison or client size comparison and wondering where the missing gb's are.

[UPDATE] This patch will not go live until after the first closed beta test. We will update you when it is available.

Well, I can live without the sharpest graphics ever, would it be possible for me to reject the patch?

Reject the patch, I highly doubt It. You will have settings so just don't put on the high ones If you don't want to.

No it will be a mandatory patch, which is why we are trying to make the decision as soon as possible to allow for download time before Friday. If it gets to close we may hold it.

Gamers play super sleuth?? We never do that! :o

Why would you reject the patch when you can just turn the settings down?

I know It's a different subject but can you answer a question about channells on a Pvp server In the thread name - Not really an open world or something like that.

To save time downloading, which is why Knox is being mindful of the timing.

And so I don't have to rape another 7GB off my bandwidth limit.

So will this make the game 57 GB?
