in TERA PC - General Discussion
I know people ask 24/7 about the release date and all but all honesty i think we need to ask for beta. 2017 is almost over & im just wondering why details on development has been so put away for no public to hear or see. I hope you guys drop us something about tera on PS4 & Xbox One more often, hell a date would be be awesome, anything really. Atm console people are preparing for bdo & my friends returning to FFXIV in the wake of 0 news or possibility of no beta or release in 2017-2018. I have hope and everyone is holding enmass word from 4 weeks ago. So news should drop anytime now. Btw idk how to change forum name to Vayne Ceasar >_>

    o.o if you go to your enmasse profile (go to the server page and log in there, then Account settings), you should find a button at the bottom of the page that lets you enter an account username

    From a tumblr post about the EME PAX meetup (beginning of September)

    "Tera Console

    >They are aiming for a release around the end of 2017, but they said that they are not sure if they will meet that. They estimated it’s around 65%+ done and they said it’s the first time BHS has worked with consoles so it’s a long process with a lot of trial and error."


    Especially with all the issues the PC game has, adapting for consoles is apparently difficult (and a new thing for BHS and EME).
    I don't plan on playing console Tera, but tbh, I feel like it's better to wait and have a better game than rush it out. Let them work through these problems/get everything fixed.

    I understand that completely and have no problem with them waiting as long as it takes to release a polished version at launch. However, I DO have an issue with the fact that they have COMPLETELY failed to communicate with their fan base. No official updates since the videos released in march and a few replies on the forums. Then they say they'll give us an update before the end of the year to tell us it's been delayed. I feel like when you say "2017 release" in march, you need to let fans know it's going to be delayed sooner than a couple weeks before the deadline. Not only that, would it hurt to try and keep us hyped? Like release some screenshots, video of gameplay, something ffs. Complete marketing failure with this I'm sorry. I love your game but this has been handled very poorly.

    I've been waiting on the console version just to see if they were able to optimize the game so that it would run smoothly on that hardware. I'm too vested in the PC version to move to the console completely, but I was hoping some of the optimizations could be carried over to the PC version. I'm also curious as to whether or not they are bringing back the original Island of Dawn to the console version.

Myself and the Marketing/Community teams met earlier this week and we worked on a rough communications plan for the next 4-8 weeks, so you can expect to receive some updates regarding the project in that time frame.

    So, best guess, as we approach that 4-8 week deadline he gave us we should be hearing if there's still hope of a 2017 beta soonish. I think no news means they're not at a point to give a date for console beta and they probably want to be 100% sure before saying something.
