XIGNCODE DISCUSSION!
Alright, so you say that this has been implemented to stop cheaters.. but there is 0 evidence anywhere on the internet that it does that. It literally does nothing to combat cheating, as anyone who can login to tera despite the dearth of errors xigncode is causing will attest. Xigncode is an unsuccessful disk-heavy performance drain on an already sluggish game, and anyone with evidence to the contrary is welcome to post it.Hi everyone,
I’m sorry it’s taken me so long to get you a response to the initial topic for this thread... which is... as I see it... why XIGNCODE. I get it. It sucks. But cheating sucks more. No cheating fix is perfect, but we felt like we had to do something about it, and Wellbia, who are a reputable company who have been working on solving this sort of issue for numerous games (including TERA in other regions) was the best partner that we could find. They and we aren’t spying on you. We aren’t trying to steal your data (in fact, you’ll have just seen our updated privacy terms that we’re ensuring XIGNCODE complies with as well). We’re just trying to ensure that all battlegrounds and epic quests take place on a figurative level field.
I think that makes for a playing experience that is more fun. So, I’m behind this change because it's to improve everyone's experience overall. Our CS team is ready and willing to help you sort out any problems caused by this change so reach out if you need to.
I’m going to close this thread and ask that if you want to have a productive conversation about the situation at hand, I and my teammates are happy to talk, but where this thread is going, I’m not allowing this to go any further.
I look forward to hearing what you have to say.

This would help us give our point to them succinctly and directly.
Please provide video evidence or screenshots if possible!
First of all, why we weren't told of this change with enough time?
Why did we had to know it from a leak?
Why did EME only informed us about it after the leak and remained silent until the actual patch day?
What does xigncode actually gathers from our computers?
Where is this info stored? is it safe? can we expect our info to be secure and not be used for other purposes?
Why did EME decided to go along with xigncode even after the massive player respone against it and the fact that it DOES NOT do nothing at all against cheaters?
1) this sort of thing usually happens because eme doesn't know what bhs is putting in the next release. it's pretty standard!
2) it wasn't a leak, someone checked the official patch files (they're uploaded early for pre-downloading) and found xigncode in them
3) see 1.
4) It basically just creates a log file as it scans through trying to match programs with known cheats. Unfortunately, it does not know many cheats.
5) good questions!!!
6) because they're clueless, as they always have been and will be.
apparently eme staff cannot google
just by simply googling you can find a myriad of sites pointing towards 2 things
1-how to remove xign and its relatives/version
2-how useless it is
if you guys wanna stop botters or hackers look up to blizz's watcher program(i forgot the actual name) developed BY AND SOLELY THEM which actually only kills/not allows the game to start and warns the player that said program is not trustworthy and can be used to cheat AND JUST THAT (in my experience it happened with cheat engine cus i use it for personal projects and forgot it open,almost had a heart attack thinking i was banned)
or change your code lines and encrypt stuff
cus resorting to a random program(lets be honest,it a virus that will stay on your computer EVEN AFTER A CLEAN FORMAT) that shows on its "hello" screen that its copyright is from 2010 and not 2018(i can provide screen shot if you don't believe me) that sends info about the poor unaware player to god knows where without their knowledge and logs their keystrokes is just pathetic(no other words to use tbh) and lazy
also another point,said virus has been injected without anyone's knowledge and even if you pull the "muh forums" almost nobody checks here so either a launcher or tweet warning 1 or 2 weeks before would've done it(even then there would be a massive out cry which would server as a feedback of said action)
guys,think and tell your audience before doing anything,you'll get less headaches
Considering that most cheat reports are totally ignored and people aren't banned unless they beg to be, I don't believe Tera cares much at all about cheaters. If they did, obvious cheaters would have been permanently banned long ago. They aren't and never will be, so sorry if I don't believe EME cares one bit about cheaters.
Since I know EME does not care about cheaters, this XIGNCODE must have another agenda. Seeing that EME is controlled by Bluehole, who just also happens to be in a war with Epic Games over Fortnite, I can only imagine the agenda is something not so great. They don't want to bother optimizing the game, but for some reason, they suddenly care about cheaters. No, I don't buy it.
Does this mean that we can't multibox clients now? If so I am pretty annoyed I use a 2nd account to transfer names I have so I don't get sniped.
Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
Sure, they could be evil and spying and selling info and all sorts of stuff.
Or... just some incompetent middle-manager made a decision, and that decision becomes company policy which employees must follow and cannot speak out against.
Anyway if ever they do. I have no choice but to stop playing Tera. I have my reasons why I use macros.
Is not better pay 3 or 4 progrmmers to make you a custom software?? Unknown for all, and then, not so easy to quit??
I think it will be even chaper than this XC.

I don't want to implicate anyone but nearly everyone I've talked to about this on discord has said they're using a bypass. Meanwhile, the people I know who are using xign either had issues logging in earlier today or have really bad performance issues which may or may not be attributed to the rootkit they downloaded that constantly scans all their stuff. I hope EME didn't waste too much money on this garbage.
They want a discussion? why don`t they start with showing some proof that this XIGNCODE is worth spit. I don`t care about software comparability issues because I don`t cheat. Show me something good that came out of this. Not in other games, in Tera. That would be a good place to start, wouldn't you say?
And another thing. This person said: "I think that makes for a playing experience that is more fun. So, I’m behind this change because it's to improve everyone's experience overall.". Oh really? more fun for who? why are you making it sound like you play the game? is that suppose to make you sound relatable? its not working and even I could vomit a better forced "response" then that. And whats with this "I look forward to hearing what you have to say" crap. No you`re not. If you really wanted to hear what people have to say you wouldn't have closed that thread, and you and your team would have taken turns in between coffee breaks to respond to people, instead of shutting them up. If this is the best reply you could have come up with, then honestly I think you should have simply closed that thread without saying anything. Wouldn't be the first time, i`ll bet.
I doubt anyone is buying this official pitch. And if someone does, I feel sorry for them. XIGNCODE is worthless. It causes more problems then it solves. No wait. Correction: it has to solve something before I can reference it. See id like to be nicer about this, i`m not usually this vulgar. But i`m sorry but you`re so called "improvement" is screwing me over, and i`ll bet i`m not the only one.
I'm guessing they locked it right before leaving for the day so they can have the excuse "we weren't in the office!" for all the rest of the posts, personally. But I've always been a cynic.
