As much as I like the sound of "equality" and everything, I actually prefer what we got instead. It would be nice to have the face stuff EU got, as I'm sure many would love the eye patch, glasses and mask. As for the weapon skins, there are some that are somewhat cool (Lancer Sword and Shield, Warrior Axes, Sorc Tome), but I'd much prefer weapons that look cool all around then some that look plain. Having Archer, Priest and Mystic be boring same-old while other classes get normal-looking-yet-different-style weapons would suck for the people that play those 3 classes.



The funny thing though? The players over on the EU version of TERA's site/forum PREFER OUR VERSION BETTER! The grass is greener on the other side is such a true quote that continues to stand the test of time...

EDIT: Oh, and the only people that get EU's bonus are those that bought from their site. To my friends, GF and I that bought the CE from retailers, we'd be out of luck. I much prefer the EME offering simple because of this fact alone now.


I'm looking forward to the ceremonial look of ours but I can understand people wanting the darker looking eu ones and I can definitely understand and share the envy of the face pieces (eye patch mainly, totally badarse)

It may be a grass is greener situation for them given how badly frogstar is perceived but I wouldn't rule out actual preference entirely.

As for who's getting the items in EU it's just more evidence that we should be hugely thankful en masse is handling our localization.

Are those really THAT much "darker"?

Those are certainly the icons for the items.

The eu weapons look like what you'd expect from fantasy weapons, ours are pure gold ceremonial pieces. The point is they're different enough that there would be plenty of people that may prefer them.

Inflammatory jabber


If you want others to find your POV credible you might change tack from the inflammatory gibberish.

Good thing I don't really care what others think about my POV. I'm simply entertaining myself with the stupidity that part of the world has become.

If you want "typical" fantasy items, there are plenty in the game already. The only ones that you can really point and say "we don't have that and that's what I see as typical fantasy for that class" is the Sorcerer's Book. Everything else has a plain and boring look in the game already.

Again, I'd rather have something that looks great across the board rather than something that is awesome and cool for some (Sorc, Lancer, etc) and boring for others (Archer, Mystic, etc).

K-Tera has the gold and normal Dragon Weapons.

EU has the gold weapons and eye-patch/handkerchief stuff that's already from K-Tera.

T-Cat Coin item-mall stuff.

EM should just take away this offer and give us nothing.

Opinions are like that.

It doesn't matter how I describe the items some clearly want them. You say great across the board others would say gaudy and ugly.

EU got the gold weapons? Where did you see that?

True, but that's also how pre-order or early adoption bonuses are: different. Pre-order at GameStop and get weapon/armor A, while Amazon gets B, Steam gets C, etc... If things are different, people will complain, as has been said already... but if things are the same, people will complain as well.

That's the nature of the beast: like or dislike varies from person to person and no matter what is done, some group will complain about it. You can like it or you can hate it, but that's how it's been for a while and that's how it'll stay.

The only thing you can really ask or hope for is that, if this game gets a cash shop, that the alternate weapons are offered there.



Myself, even looking at it with the least amount of bias, both are good and bad, but NA is better overall.

The EU ones are good as they offer most classes new weapon styles (Sorc, War, Lancer, Zerker, Slayer), yet other classes suffer from the same style they already have (Archer, Priest, Mystic). Not only that, but the style of the look itself is very bland and minimalistic. Sure, I'll admit that I like the simple style of the book for Sorc, but the staff for Priest is plain and doesn't really give anything new. Again: some classes get something new and refreshing while others get something bland and samey. Whether you like the look better or not, this is a fact that can't really be subjected to "opinion".

The NA ones, whether you like the style or not, are a brand of style that is new across the board. all of them has the same style of being golden with some white/black/red colors with a dragon theme to them. Like it or not as far as tastes, it's consistent and new (from what I've seen so far at least) compared to other weapons in the game. No class gets shafted over another in any way that is outside of opinion and preference.



Again, like it or not, the NA ones are more even and consistent, as well as being more unique and special across the board, while the EU ones are all over the place from samey to unique, slight difference to completely different.

There is no "better" looking anything it's entirely subjective, which makes most of your post redundant. Especially the second half.

And yes that's my point it's all opinions which are going to be voiced no matter how right you feel your views of the entirely subjective are.
