An Unforeseen Consequence from Recent Security Fix

edited November 2017 in TERA PC - General Discussion
So with HTML being disabled in-game for the time being as a precautionary measure against the recent security vulnerability, this came with the consequence of also not allowing quicklinks in chat to be clicked. Mainly this means no clicking on linked items in chat, and also no clicking on Points of Interest.

While this is at most mildly inconvenient, with the upcoming Overworld BAM Spawn event I've just realized that not being able to share PoIs of BAM spawn locations is going to make killing these BAMs in an efficient manner extremely difficult for all people involved. Not only this, it opens the floodgates for countless fake BAM spawn reports that do nothing but waste time and may result in lost loot due to people going on wild goose chases. Seeing multiple people link the same PoI in Global chat was a solid indicator of a legitimate spawn, but without that measure of verification we're all going to be running around like headless chickens trying to find the legitimate spawns while also attempting to communicate the location of these valid spawns to everyone.

Any plans for some sort of remedy to this situation? Having no way to effectively communicate the locations of BAMs is going to turn an otherwise enjoyable and profitable event into a giant headache with countless missed BAM kills due to confusion and trolls.

Edit: On a whim I repaired my client to see if maybe something was broken on my end since other people are saying it works for them. Guess something was out of whack cause they work fine now so I guess this thread was a bit pointless.. Sorry for the false alarm. <.<

    We can only hope that this will be fixed before we get the bam event.

    I just tested this and my POI links seem to work - at least in guild chat.

    Point of interest is working fine on Tempest Reach.

    Basically the answer seems to be to do a repair and take other related actions to make sure your client is in the default state, as it does work "out of the box" after the patch.

    Oh thank goodness. Nightmare averted.

    But thanks to your heads up I will def. be checking if POI work for me before this weekend!
