Regarding Talents and Korean Balancing

    Thing is, if they somehow changed their mind and enabled talents in the NA and EU builds, you're looking at months to years of farming talent points just to achieve parity.

    At this point if they don't want to bring over talents. And to be fair were too far behind grind wise for it to be feasible.

    They need to put the talents into the NA version as passives and extra glyphs.

    There is a huge gap between having them and not.

    People not playing the game *hint hint* saying otherwise is just laughable.

    They could always do x2 talent exp events or items that give you exp like in ktera, similar to double vgs that we have.

    They are a variety of ways to speed up the grind. You are gonna be grinding next patch regardless for gear xp. What hurts far more is not having the system at all. The slayer change was a good one and proves they still work on the talent system, the correct solution. The gap in power will only increase as time goes on. If youve ever done harrowhold youll notice the aura you get specifically in there that gives you a ton more power. That was never a thing in korea because it wasnt needed. It'll show the same problem once rk9 extreme mode releases and the dps wall is massive.

    I agree, but that's probably part of Bluehole's reasoning why they're not going to enable talents outside of Korean Tera.

    That, and I wouldn't be surprised if there are legit obnoxious bugs that they just don't want to devote the manpower to fix for our regions.

    It is definitely part of the problem with the system, anyway. People say they want "better class balance" but the way this system is designed just unbalances things even further along a different dimension. If "balance" was the goal, then this was a bad idea from the get-go. I always figured one of the reasons they can't just turn it off at this point is that people are already invested in it.

    As was said, bringing the same things over as passives or glyphs would be a lot better, because these systems already have internal counterbalances. (But even if they did that... I honestly don't believe it'll magically make the game more balanced. It'll just be a different state of imbalance.)
