If tera gets it right with console...

Hey guys,

Been playing DCUO ( DC universe online) since beta also been playing tera on and off since launch

If tera online can get a good launch promise it will be HUGELY successful on console. DCUO needs some heavy competition because tbh it has none and racks in the money - It needs some healthy compeition tera could be that game.

Also, just to note! The MMOs on console seem to adopt a cod like mentality (raging, eogs blah) the usual and this will make the forum very toxic in the future.

Question - has there been any mention about cross server play? thanks

    Yes...And the answer is Straight up None at all...everyone is on their own little world, no-one gets to play with each other unless they're on the same platform
  • Yeah, PS4 and Xbox can't play with each other due to politics, and the version will be too far behind at launch for either to play with PC (plus it's probably politics to not pick one or the other to play with PC). So, unfortunately, no cross-play for now.

    That sucks! there is cross play in dcuo PS/pc but not xbox like you correctly stated. Well, i don't know the technical aspects of why they can't but the money is waiting for them if they do.

    I would think there are a few reasons why cross-play is not implemented on launch.

    1) Tera is a skill-based game. The last thing you want is for people to put LFGs stating something like "RKH/TRN only PC players" because 99% of the newer players are still learning their skill priorities, glyphs crystals and how to actually iframe. It is better for console to have a seperate server to basically play catch up till it is a stable point where they can merge the servers.

    2) Sony and Microsoft are honestly idiots for hating each other. Cooperation in this case will profit both tech giants rather than competition.

    3) Development is usually on older builds of the game. They are more likely to be using the build on Arsenal launch (to equalise the playing ground for everyone) so no one needs to do the cancerous Masterwork/Awakening/Rerolling stuff. And as pointed out in point one, always need that catch up mechanic to make MMO ports doable.
