Hello, TERA fans!

There have been a lot of discussions on the Instance Matching system’s bonuses and we have been listening to your feedback closely. In response to our community’s concern, we have great news to share with you today!

We are currently working on TERA’s launch build so that it will not provide the additional bonuses when using the Instance Matching system. However, we may elect to include bonuses in the future to encourage lower level characters group more. The Instance Matching system will continue to utilize cross-server search to assist players in finding others for instance dungeons.

We will have the adjusted Instance Matching System at launch on 5/1. Thank you for sharing your feedback and thoughts with us!


Good fix there, I see It does have cross that on the other hand Is bad. Is there a port, please tell me there Is NO port. If so then please restrict this to Pve servers.

Good job on that one, but I really do think that cross-server LFD sucks... I.E: someone who only need one gear from this dungeon(S.M) join the group thru LFD tool, and finally he/she got what he/she wanted, and booooommm LEFT the group.....lets say is a tank left... what u think of that? It happend every day in WoW since LFD come out.. I mean, LFD is good, but not for cross-server..

Omg! From what I read here 90% of the people who were Against this system didn't know anything at all about it!

The bonuses were not just some "Mere Rewards" They Were Enchanting Powders that even in Korea where this Reward system is still being used, would Cost over 500,000 +. Just try and dare to imagine the inflatation this will cause in NA.

In Korea Using LFD would also grant your dungeon cool down to be cut in Half.

Go inform yourselves on what you complain >.>



This. Powders will be crazy expensive if you don't provide another efficient means to obtain them. LFG bonuses was that means. Add another.

Also If Eme claims there listening then I am not sure the tool would be here to start with. Cross and port have been two features that have been widely protested against from the start. If It was just a matching tool and nothing more then It wouldn't be a problem. So could you answer If port Is In this version and If so could It be restricted to Pve servers.

I won't even answer to you, Relaxcowboy. Everything about the LFD has been said you're free to keep thinking w/e.

EDIT: Now that I re-read your reply, you haven't understood what I said At All.


It comes down to the question I asked. What makes one person deserve more than another? I know it. You know it, whether you want to admit it or not. The answer is nothing.

You think I don't know supply and demand? You say the price for the enchantment powders will skyrocket. It will. You use KTera as your example. Does KTera have the same enchanting systems where if you fail you will not lose your +?
So, let them have their powder. It's a lot harder to enchant for them then it is us.

The LFD was put in to cater to the casuals. It wasn't built to make the hardcore and "antisocial" get together to help the casuals. Again, you like to use KTera as your example. KTera built the LFD system that is in the game now. It was built because their server population is falling. People had a hard time finding groups to they made the LFD. The Bonuses, I assume, where put in to help stabilize the drop in the populations. Give them an incentive to keep playing.

Your comment about people, like myself, who group with friends and guildies being "full of themselves" is just grasping at straws. You can't look down on someone for wanting to play a game with their friends. casual, social, antisocial, hardcore, groups, guilds, soloists all equals the same thing. Paying Customer. All pay the same price. All are equal.

That covers your inflation argument, your casuals argument and your grouping with friends argument. What part of that did I not understand?

The bonus just made It worse. A Lfd/Lfg that isn't just a matcher Is bad. If It has cross and or port then It's bad and as I said the bonus just made It worse.

Because people complain and always will, sadly.

One thing the complainers don't understand is that cross server is designed for the sole reason that just happened with Character creation, where VoT server got capped in no time while other servers have half of the population.

Also cross server exists for those who do not have time for guilds, play in the time span that do not fit the server peak times or just do not want to be in a guild (and those who don't, why force them? you only make yourself look bad forcing other people)

Removing the bonus is a good idea because it does give the incentive of not running with your guild/friends unless they made so that you could que as a whole group but then we're talking identical to a certain other game and who knows what could happen afterwards.

Also no one has tested it, everyone is assuming it is too much like WoW, perhaps, perhaps not, but let Eme do what they want. It is their game they impulse on what they think is right.

At least they react better and faster than NCfail and listen to their customers, I mean they even added new intro scene, no more watching that disastrous opening theme *shudder*. They are changing the game to fit western market MUCH better, even though they still have things to redo and adjust.

Give Eme time and participate by at least being constructive instead of whining and test it once it is available, this isn't dec 21 2012 mk?
