Lag, mini map ,memory leaks ,quest items.
It is a shame that the above problems are going to kill this game for me. I know some people can live with this but being unable to even move 4 meters and stutter all over the place is not enjoyable. It is coming up to the end of the first week and am already getting ready to walk away. Is any thing official that these problems are getting looked at.?

Are you on the EU PvE server? sure I saw you in game.
even xbone x stutters in endgame dungeons, I have two friends with the X that can verify that. I have the xbone S and just recently cleaned it out and it helped a bit but it still stutters every so often but it feels more like everyone lags at the same time. 3 of us ran lilith keep (instance matched) and every time lilith starts her wave stun that you have to iframe we all stutter.
The memory leaks is probably the worst issue as it'll cuse the console or the game or both to crash. I'm surprised it was even allowed to be released considering Microsoft CERT are really strict with these things, but i guess money talks, eh?
Then there's the channel issues. Channel 1 can be full but you'll still get put into it, and i've lost count of how many times i've had to close my game because i can't do anything when i get placed in channel 1 when it's listed as 'high'. Seems the game lets an infinite amount of players into the channel.
As for the fps lags. It's very real on both X1X/PS4P and XB1/PS4. The newer gens might not suffer as much as the previous gen but it's still there.
From a designer point of view, this should never happen, ever. The game performance is abysmal.
And finally, the lack of info on future content as well as answers to why some features have not been added and some even removed from the console version.
Oh almost forgot. Lootboxes. They need to have a higher drop rate. The 'slot machine' boxes as i really should call them might also be banned and made illegal in most EU countries this year so this is also something the devs need to consider, moving forward.
My guess is the code of the game itself and server issues, cause performance differs drastically at times.

I played on pc for 4 years, the loot box thing isn’t a legit complaint I hate I disagree but that’s the truth. You should know it’s a gamble and not expect a higher chance. For one it drove the in game economy on prices for those items plus when the base version of a weapon skin is about $10 or equal to 6 boxes, if you could get the rare versions of those skins in under that amount it would defeat the whole purpose of “rare” versions. I had friends open 2 boxes and get what they wanted and then it took me 10+ lol I’m ok with and it’s on you to dictate what you value these things at and if it’s worth the gamble
You really didn't get the point.. Why bother replying, let alone quote me if you didn't even understand any of it?
The point is, that gambling is ILLEGAL in many countries and the Battlefront II debate has made several countries in the EU wanting to ban loot boxes from online games. I made that note as a hint.
If they want to make money off the cash shop, put items in that people can buy directly, not through gambling mechanics where the odds are always going to be stacked against you.
It has absolutely nothing to do with the value of the items, but the fact that gambling with real money in an mmorpg shouldn't be in an mmorpg in the first place since gambling of any kind is illegal in a lot of the countries where these games are released.
As i said in my post, which again, you completely failed to comprehend, i stated that loot boxes, or 'slot machine' boxes might be banned in most European countries this year. I fail to see what you gain by trying to twist my words when i've said nothing about the price or value of the boxes.
Just to clear things up a bit here.
The value is not applied until you get said item from the box either way. To apply a value you have to first get the desired item, and if you spent 10$ while other spend less to get theirs, does that make yours more valuable to others? No. But you gambled 10$ hoping you'd get it for less but kept going. That's what these boxes do to a human brain. It entices you to keep gambling, even though you know that the odds of getting said item are against you.
Loot boxes are designed using psychology and the human psyche in mind.. A gambling mechnism with a jackpot prize to make you want to gamble more. Sure, some people can afford it, but the reality is that most can't. Yet, even those who can't actually afford to, are being tricked into thinking that they might get lucky, and if they don't get lucky the first time, they might get lucky the next time etc, etc.. I've seen first hand what gambling like that can do to people, and the loot boxes in TERA is something that has taken it one step further by turning the loot box system into a slot machine system.
"They don't want to tell us exactly what they did because they don't want us to find out they basically did nothing important to fix any REAL issues with the game. Although the fact that it says Event item bug fix kinda says alot in its own that they basically didn't do anything meaningful. I have already lost hope in this dev team, from what i see they don't really care about the games overall success or their customers. They take the money and and leave the game in the poor shape its in. Honestly most mmo's would not even release a game with this many gamebreaking issues still in the game. I am pretty sure whatever we say in feedback or here doesn't even get read by the team and if it is it is probably just shrugged off by the dev team. I have been asking for a reverse x-axis to the game since first beta and nothing still and to a lot of people thats an important thing. Other mmo's have it so why not this one? It's not even a big thing to do from what i'm told putting a setting like that in is not a hard or time consuming thing to do. My friend was going to play this game with me but after seeing all the dissatisfied people all over the forums and watching my screen freeze every step in the game he told me he would rather keep no lifing monster hunter. I myself have pretty much had it myself. Voicing our opinions doesn't seem to get us anywhere apparently. according to some searches i've heard this has been an issue for years even for the pc version. It seems to me that the biggest issue of all is that the staff over at enmass/blue hole is basically incompetent. While the game may work that is no excuse to ignore your player base and leave the games performance issues and major bugs unnatended this long or possibly indefinitely. I may sound like just another customer who complains about everything to any white knights out there, however to me and other people who had real hopes for this console release. We are truly let down, and it is a shame....a shame on enmass and a shame on bluehole for letting us down like this. Even for a free to play game i expected more out of this. Much more and thats just average expectations. The bar is too low even for this game. I am sorry enmasse, but chances are i will not be your customer anymore if this continues one more week."
