It's because people are expecting a full product. Instead there's a rushed-out edit that's been slapped onto one of the races. It's a re-used texture dyed different colors that sacrifices detail in a game recongnized for it's *-Beautiful Graphics-* and Gameplay. At this point though I wouldn't be surprised if the same edits we see now will be the same ones gone into retail.

If there is end-content going to come out in the future it's going to be slowed down by all the censoring that's been done. I would find it pain-staking annoying to censor every-single armor content in a game as soon as new add-ons come in.

"Sorry, We can't release -insert new update here- because we gotta throw in some quick shorts!"

Thing is if new-wardrobes are released their going to stick out worse than the sore-thumbs they already are. It's going to look even worse with the higher-level armor renditions.

Letting it die is not an option.

"TEH COPY PASTERED SHORTS ARE A TRAVESY TO ART!"


To the uninformed above..... Bluehole is going to be putting out armors, from now on, that are not going to need to be censored.

ZzZZzZZZzzZz

meh

At the risk of being called a pedo, I really don't think "little girls" when I see Elins.. I'm trying to be open minded to all the arguments but elins look nothing like human little girls...I guess I've watched way too much anime or been around east culture for too long.

I initially played K-Tera and I rolled Castanic. Saw Elins here and there but the first thing that came to my mind is "oh a race of midgets or gnomes!". It wasn't until I started looking through NA forums where all this paedophile stuff arose...

Also for people saying "ITS ONLY 1/2" OF LEGS COVERED WHY DO U C4RE?!", thats clearly never been the intention of forums like these..

Should En Masse put more effort if they are going to make changes? Maybe.

Should this be one of their top priorities right now? No, not at all. I, for one, don't really care for the principle of the issue though I do understand other's perspectives on it. I do think people should lighten up with these posts as, like many stated earlier, it won't go anywhere, not now anyway.

Thank you for a sensible post in a forum otherwise riddled with insanity.

Good post.

...

Don't know any other words to describe it other then awesome.

But for the priorities in most companies the art team is separate from the development team. Of course they still work together for patches and such, but if wouldn't some massive time consumer to make the censored Elin armor look better. Just copy the textures of the old bloomers and paste / extend them on the short shorts, or just start from the originals again and just extend the textures.

Yes i know it's not as simple as i try to make it sound but it certainly wouldn't interfere with the release date, localization of patches, or development of new patches as people try to make it seem like it would.

Don't like the 12 year old rating that the game has turned into?

Google "Tera De-Censor" if you want the game to return back to the orignal models.


How it was meant to be played ...

Did you ever think that remodeling outfits to match and meet the requirements of not being too revealing take time? Quick fix with shorts to keep all the haters out. Build a hot shorts castle and the haters will stay in the dungeons (i.e. forums). Then one magical day we FINISH these updated outfits and add some jack Daniels. Then we would be smart, real smart.

Honestly if you can't handle the outfits of the game, I feel sorry for you. The petty crap a lot of you argue about isn't even worth the breath. I feel that the outfits were fine before, however I really don't mind if they are censored as long as they are aesthetically pleasing. The point of MMOs for a vast majority is playing Dress up with your character. Yes you all do it, and a few people really don't care because they just want to play the game. However I know people like that and they still [filtered] and wine when they get those upgraded shoulders and they look retarded, even though they said they don't care about costume.

This isn't even an argument on how the game was meant to be played it is an argument on the aesthetics. Yes some people playing this game want to see "young" "Women" (not my choice in words) dressed scantily, some are playing to see grown women in the same respect, and some are just playing because the game is beautiful. If the developer changes something they can do so but they should at least try to put some back bone into it. They already paid the artists once and it is not likely they fired them or let them go because new content which is commonly called major updates or expansions require new graphical content that looks different, or the same with recolors/textures.

Also for those of you that are against removing the censor because NA and western countries can't take the heat, why do we dress up our little girls in 2 piece swimsuits, put makeup on them and then show them off as Miss Little America, etc. etc. That is much worse than the LORE choices of a video game. As a game designer I honestly think that this has nothing to do with Asia or America but religion and the failures it brings with it. Eventually this topic will no longer be a problem just like Rock and Roll used to be from the devil. Oh and having sex with your wife too often is sinful but now we have religious groups saying it is ok now.....

So to finish this up, the arguments here are getting lame. About 5 people know what they are talking about and the rest of you should learn to just read and not post if you can't fathom the topic. Better yet please go HERE and read up on this, maybe you will better understand the internets and how complex they can be.

With Elin Love,

Iorianne.

I'm a lolicon and the modified Elin clothes make me sad.

Anyone else just love how all these people keep publicly announcing that they're going to illegally mod the game on the official forums as if they're trying to see just how far they can push their luck until they're banned?
