This line really made me laugh, all i see is a lie and a empty promise... when your doing plan A always make sure you have a plan B by means that if your doing something big like this make sure you ALREADY have something to replace PROXY/SP immediately so you dont lose a big portion of YOUR playerbase.
Also NEVER drop a bomb like this right before the weekend its like you people get a kick out of this or your to scared of the backlash and wait for it to die down because you dont HAVE to respond back because its the weekend, not very professional of you.
no kidding. nothing will come of what she said. nothing ever does anymore. i'm still waiting for more items to be put into fashion coupon shop. or tera rewards store. and i'm sad this came before my main finally became more relevant again.
it was nice knowing tera. i met some good people. i had a lot of fun. it kept me very well occupied and distracted when i had depression throughout last year. i made a bunch of characters i fell in love with and gave personality.
thankfully I haven't spent more than $100 aud on this game. eme and bhs don't deserve my money when they don't care for an enjoyable gameplay experience for me. (can't enjoy tera without sp. no way. you can't play smooth and orgasmic like this at 250ms.)
If you want to talk about respect start with an actual conversation, instead of a copy pasted reply made by someone else. Why don`t you get one of your drones to Stream about it, and see what people have to say in real time. Not that you would care, but it would leave a better impression then this, considering how big this subject actually is. This game is not known for transparency and getting things done, ok? so please stop making it seem like you care about anything other then cash. "Respect". Don`t make me laugh. You shouldn't talk about things you haven't earned. Take a look around. Even the player council you appointed yourself, or should I say, the remaining ones you didn't drive away yet, isn't really trying to defend you.
Dear all TERA Players,
Yeah recently. As in, after all these years of silently accepting third party programs, while benefiting from the fact that proxies and meters have kept a lot of people playing, only - now - have you decided to taken action, for some kind of reason. A "firm stance" indeed lol.
Ok first off, stop making it sound like something its not. The only ones you are really trying to "protect" is yourselves and your trying to avoid having to deal with your masters (BHS). First they told you to shove "Xigncode3" into the game. It wasn't really your choice granted, but that failed miserably. As you probably knew it would because Xigncode3 doesn't really stop proxies and meters. And now "all of a sudden", seemingly out of the blue, right before the second apex, you pull this stunt independently while knowing its going to hurt your player base. I don`t know why you have waited for so long to do this, but I can take a guess. And my guess is that this is because of the server merges (NA had one, and EU is going to have one). The situation made your overlords take a gander at us (NA). And then they then took a gander at you (EME). I think that they didn't like what they were seeing (not community wise, and not how you handle things). Or, to be more exact, I think that your babysitters probably want to first wrap things up in Tera NA, before taking a look at their other investments. After all... proxies and meters work just fine in EU, and in K-Tera as well (lolz ikr).
This hypothesis is why I am saying that you should just... I dunno... go back to making coffee, or whatever it is you do.
Actually the current situation does warrant quite a few controversial comments. Like mine for example. You are welcome to take "disciplinary action" if you want too. I don`t really care at this point.
I don`t believe you. You haven't done anything about this for years. So excuse for me for saying that I think every single line in there is BS.
Besides, what will happen with the economy that is broken already? And what about EMP? Are we going to see some sort of 1:150 EMP rates or maybe 1:200? Is elite going to cost 300k? 400k?
I think that this whole situation has way too many implications and practically brushing off a portion of important PvE players that maintaned the stability of the game which was already so weakened will not improve the health of this game because any other player will feel the shockwave and if a compromise will not be found then even in my case i might have to be forced to quit myself after playing for so many years...
The promising server merge and the 2nd awakening with the talent system coming sometimes in the future is turning into a very sad and dramatic story..
I really hope that a compromise will be found.
p.s. 21k views on this thread from which mostly worried players.. and i have prepared to gear up a gunner and enjoy the awakening just to end up like this..
idgaf about your "other" games, you are talking about Tera here, get your argument straight dude. There is no such thing as a perfect implementation of netcode, but proxy was one that made the playing field a lot more level especially in PVE. It appears you are grossly ill-informed in netcode techniques. Don't bother arguing to me about it, when you don't code games yourself.
Let me make it clear wthat proxy simply routes the packets of your client. By itself it does nothing. It is only useful when you use modules on it, in this case, SP which emulates a server side response back to your client, making it more client sided. This should have been the implementation in the first place. No MMO dev in the right mind to this day, would compromise input latency for server parity, that is the cardinal sin of netcoding as any latency in input is known to cause gamebreaking issues.
And also one more thing, if you even bother arguing that PVP in Tera is important, you clearly do not play Tera. PVP has been dead for the longest time ever since SCHM patch.
Just thought i'd chime in and say i'm glad to see eme taking a harder stance against 3rd party programs/mods.
Allowing them to go on for this long has likely caused a myriad of problems over the years that wouldn't even cross most players minds including wasted r&d time trying in vain to provide support to such players that could've been spent on changes & features to the game.
Just gotta hope you don't back down cos of a vocal minority now ^^
no desestimen esto pues todo juego depende de el nivel de satisfaccion de los usarios y a puertas del 2do apex se vino abajo toda expectativa.
gracias
When you installed Tera on your PC, did you read in the TOS "no proxy"?
OK THEN!
YOU KNEW IT WAS AGAINST THE TOS IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!
Quit complaining about it!! Proxy users had advantages over normal players.
There is no sympathy for proxy users here because you darn well knew it was against the TOS when you installed TERA...

Firstly, i get what you mean, but the ToS is not something that fell from the sky. It's something that was made and can be changed by the company who established it.
People are requesting this change because the 3rd party software fixes tons of issues tera has has for a LONG time and has never fixed, plus it makes the game playable for people with high ping.
Most of the people using it were doing it for ping reasons and to be able to get rid of Xingcode.
I get that you may see these people as cheaters but they were just trying to play the game and not exploiting it, no matter how hard you quote the ToS.
You say proxy players had such a huge advantage over normal players, but id like you to compare the gap between people with high ping and normal players, it's definitely wider. And people from other places than Chicago want to play.
If eme had never had people outside of the US central area as a target, then it would have never come up.
But they did specifically go after Latin players, a simple proof of this is they introduced local emp buying methods.
If you're offering your product but can't offer it with the quality it should have, then you're just being dishonest with your commercial practice.
Your lack of sympathy is misplaced, you see everyone as a cheater because they did what they could to make the game playable.
For example ini file modifications are technically against the ToS as well, but most of the player base has them because it drastically improves performance, and no one sees it as a "bad" thing. People who use in modifications will definitely have an advantage over people playing at 12 fps, but it's not an exploit to try to get the game to work properly, and if tera had these as default, it wouldn't even be needed.
EME is free to adjust their ToS if it were to give a better experience to it's players. But so far they have been unwilling to do anything to help.

come to Asia and play Ma tera with high ping as repeat your comment to me again. bet you won't.
you're a [filtered] knob.
no one who has regular sp is at an "advantage". we are basically one step UNDER people with low ping. we can finally play the same. but we still have to dodge early. and we will STILL be disadvantaged in pvp. refer to my comment back on page 10/11 or somewhere close.
and this did NOTHING. people who know how to blatently cheat and exploit will still cheat and exploit. this has just disabled the game for people who used sp for innocent use.
knobs. knobs everywhere.

-I never said proxy users had a "huge" advantage... You might want to re-read my post.
Did I say everybody is a "cheater?" NO. Re-read my post again bro.
The TOS states "NO PROXY".
When you play Tera with a proxy, YOU KNOW it is against the TOS!!!!
Accept it or find another game.
Enjoy relatively empty servers in the near future, only a proxy ban away!
TOS or not, it was keeping a lot of people in the game.
Accept it or spend 5 hours in queue for bgs, lows and mids
