I think a lot of us know that but the way TERA is going I doubt you guys can hang on forever.
I don't think most of the female Castanics dance on a metal pole... rather a meat pole... and dancing is more of a bounce up and down...

Here's an interesting opinion on why you need to be careful when listening to your customers.

That is an excellent article Rocdog.

And it absolutley applies to Enchanting. Players aren't mad that they are failing Enchants - that message doesn't drive them bat s*** crazy.

What drives people crazy is they don't know how to earn enough gold.

Thanks for posting.


I earned plenty of gold. I'm tired of grinding for more gold for the slot machine. I see Enchanting / Identify / Masterwork RNG for what it is. Fluff to hide lack of content.

I can't progress through PvE anymore because I refuse to deal with enchanting, so all I can do is get my face smashed in doing battlegrounds because I've only got a few pieces of the non-enchantable PvP set.
?


If you're getting your face smashed with the non-enchantable set you suck at PvP and should quit.


But the +12 MW Lancer can one shot me :(

I guess the writer means no Cash Shop in game. You can still use the one on the website and get your items.

Level cap is to the previous content Dark Awakening and doesn't seem worth it to transfer to a paid for Argon Queen.

This game will be F2P in a few months or a little more completely. Their sales number and popularity out in Korea has dropped further in this month. A lot of people leaving for Blade and Soul and League of Legends.

Not only are they giving you a free transfer to a paid service they are also giving you 30 of the Chill Mount Treasure Chests. What these are like a Free to Play games Cash Shop item where you buy a key on the Shop and open a chest you found in game. Except it skips the finding the Chest. These have been out for awhile in Korea. It's another reason why people started leaving in droves when they saw these items being added to a P2P.

I don't see anything saying we have to purchase the game either...


You do know LoL is not a MMO right? Also you do know B&S just released not long ago right? Also B&S is a P2P game, and the CS is not why people are leaving you need to get your fact right. AION is P2P in Korea and still sold items on there CS.... not sure if AION still P2P in Korea but when NA/EU was still P2P KAION still had a cash shop............ So whats your point again?

Oh ya that you dont know the facts, people left TERA in Korea bc once they got to end game there was nothing, AION had time due to the grind and TERA was to west for Korea since its items garthering, lvling and money was way easier to make for them then most of there other Korean games

You do know Korea gaming system is also different from NA and EU right? bc If I remember correctly in Korea you dont have to buy games bc I was playing retail Korea AION and never bought the game


Yes I know LoL isn't an MMORPG it's still one of the largest played games in the current market. I'm not just limiting it to MMORPGs. I was born and raised in Korea... I keep up with the news there for gaming while I live here in America.

Have none of you purchased something at the store, only to see it go on sale a couple days later? I can't be the only one that thinks sales are normal.


I understand how sales work. I can tell you right now they put "ON SALE NOW FOR A LIMITED TIME!" to make dumb people think "OH I CAN SAVE MONEY BUYING THIS!" when all we were really trying to do was get rid of old inventory on stuff that was going to be dated and making more money back from dropping it to low prices rather than leaving it high and putting it in reclamation. So sometimes you can be making a bargain. Sometimes you're being ripped off. Sometimes on sale now just means it's their regular price but we're going to put a higher price to make it seem like you're getting a deal. I've done that back when I was younger in a grocery store. A 5 dollar item would get a new tag saying 8.99 on sale now for 5 dollars. That [filtered] sold like hot cakes.

USTera puts things On Sale because they are trying to go to the people who see the ON SALE and think OH MUST BUY! to increase sales. If you see something On Sale it probably means that the product didn't sell well. Which is probably why Amazon constantly has TERA physical copies at 20 to 10 bucks. They need to get rid of the [filtered].

I'm saying remove RNG entirely. You don't need it. Of course this would require a lot of new things.

Enigmatic Gear would now need to figure out a way to be identify. My suggestion is right click and select what you want. That would probably take less effort over making a bunch of different clothes for classes.

The Economy would be in shambles if you completely remove it. I mean really bad. RNG filters out Golds / Blues / Whites from our economy. Something would have to be thought up.

Masterwork... we don't even need it... it's just more garbage filler RNG.

SLI does NOT have a profile. I have SLI. I can tell you now it does not. It uses the best profile that fits TERA not it's own. Just like Crossfire does. They both need a profile.

PvP I guess it doesn't really but... uhh... I think it's Deathmatch Battleground. I was going to say they need to change Deathmatches and Dueling. Dueling needs to be so I can't heal you guys while you fight. Deathmatches should be in a Battleground (or arena) as well as outside.

If I remember correctly Shadows on a DirectX9 vs a DirectX10 is an extreme improvement. There is a lot better optimization between the two.
What needs fixing:

Enchanting RNG (remove)

Identify RNG (remove)

Masterwork RNG (remove)

Lag (remove they are fixing it though :D)

UI (optimize they are fixing it though :D)

Optimization needs Optimization

Questing (could be done better)

Class Balance

Class Improvements (Mystics need an overhaul. They went from their original plan of DPS to this weird subpar healer that's called a support.)

Normal Monsters / BAMs (Renames should at least be a new color or remake something... like some of the monsters in the Ice level didn't belong... it was just stupid)

Difficulty would need adjusting without the Enchanting

Drops (T11 is dropping in a T13 place... wut?)

Crafting (It has RNG too. RNG! RNG EVERYWHERE! That isn't the only thing. I've seen posts on Crafting so I can't make my 100% say on what needs fixing. I avoided Crafting because of what I've seen people say. Not touching it.)

Dye System

Broker (It works fine but the whole Bargain thing is annoying... I mean I want to accept their offers but I'm busy trying to kill a BAM right now *DING DING DING DING DING DING DING* god dammit...)

Cash Shop (Yes I'm bringing this in the items you see could be time spent on events instead... but we got this.)

PvP (Needs tweaking.)

Gear (The gear iLvl could be non existant or lowered to just 1 on PvP gear so people don't use PvP gear in PvE like a moron.)

DirectX (I don't know if it's physically possible to upgrade DirectX9 to DirectX10 or 11... but yeah that needs changes too.)

Crossfire / SLI Support

Nexus (Remove Nexus and make Nexus Traverse a raid that can be queued for)

That's pretty much an overhaul of the game.
