"NATera will never lag behind KTera" - EnMasse

I remember long ago, in a land far, far away... when EME stated that we had our own dedicated development team in Korea that would make sure we would never be months behind KTera game builds like we have seen from other ports of Asian games in the past. Yet here we are without Battlegrounds, Nexus (Rifts), training grounds, Mystery boxes (economy is messed up w/o them), and lack of BOE Golds (because of your BOP changes on gold items which again messes up L60 enchanting mat availability and again - the game economy).

So our version of this game in all its incomplete glory is sadly lacking (and lagging) behind KTera, totally lagging behind the Korean version contrary to your promises.

What gives?

Technically we have the same patch as Ktera, the features such as the nexus are just turned off. It is believed that they are turned off because it takes a lot of 60s to close them and they didn't want the high level areas over run with them until there were enough 60s.

KTera plays and hammers out the bugs and we get the finished product? With a system like that who needs test servers?

The glass might be half full or half empty.

I disagree with the 'lack of BoE golds' comment. There are plenty on the AH, just for prices you aren't really willing to pay only to pay more for each enchant attempt. And making them all BoP would merely make people have to actually run the dungeon to get enchant fodder, rather than cater to gold farmers who would just buy all the best gear. I much prefer the best gear be BoP. That way they can also justify much better drop rates, knowing the AH wont be flooded with golds because they will either be enchant fodder or vendor trash.

I'm pretty sure the community would rather smash the glass on the floor themselves then slip on the mess and cut their feet on the broken glass and then complain that someone broke a half empty glass of water on the floor and didn't clean it up.

I wish they would release the Nexuses even if they don't think there are enough people (whatever that number is). It will be much more of an accomplishment if we can finish all the stages with fewer people rather than waiting for the complete zerg-fest that KTera Nexuses are. And if there really aren't enough people and we can't close them, they disappear after about an hour anyway, and we'll try again next time.

Are you saying they don't deserve to? They work hard and grind the content (player base)... they should have those zones. Nice to see you're so one sided against hard working NPCs.

These things are being strategically released.

The Nexus was actually tested in the closed beta. The code is already in the game files. I am sure the battlegrounds are there too.

Most of the player base is still leveling. If you are have been sitting at Max level for a few weeks then you are in the high minority and it would not make business sense to cater to you.

That special event outside Velika in CBT5 was basically NAs Nexus stress test, there were like 500 people there and monsters spawning all over the place.

It was a nexus test run and it went well, so i'm not sure whats holding them back from releasing it.

I also have a feeling they are bumping training grounds to 60 and that may be why it's not out yet because you need to run it a lot for master glyphs and at58 it was trivial and boring.

Lastly, battlegrounds are being re-worked in NA and Korea so that's not EME really...

The boxes and eggs i'd like back though.
