Is worth to play TERA in US right now?
Hello with everything ~ i played tera via steam for years, but this year in July i got several lag peaks that forced me to uninstall the game and abandon tera because tech support never answer me for solutions.
I see a lot of problems around proxys and the lack of optimization.
Since i abandon the game months ago, is stil TERA worth to play?
**I'm from South America BTW but i always got 80-100ms ~ but in july i got 700 - 1000 - 2000ms lag peak for several minutes, and that situation forced me to abandon the game**
Thanks in advance

tl;dr : steam client is garbage.
BTW, I also use the non steam version (through Steam because of controller) and I don't have problems with connection from the Caribbean. But I keep hearing that South America is a different problem so many over there will have lingering lag issues.
just do a tracert to diag.enmasse.com and itll tell you your ping
So original client Is better thank steam?
TERA NA its not friendly for newbies or for people who came back, you will get flamed by the playerbase if you die more than 3 times in a dungeon
unless you join a nice guild in which you can run stuff together (spoiler: most guilds are dead, and the rest are tryhards that wants you to be full HO to join them).
Getting Endgear its gonna take you a lot of effort if you dont spend 24/7 online, or if you don't go p2w.
since golden talents are getting really hard to get, and EME doesnt really do anything actually noticeable to fix it. (but again tera store has p2w boxes)
PvP is dead, never queue, it will never pop up anything.
LFG is dead, unless you enjoy to wait 1 hour for getting a party in LFG for RKN.
IM Queue is dead as well, if youre a tank, you're gucci, if you're a healer, you're almost gucci, if dps, say good bye to your precious time.
It was a weird experience in this current Tera for me.
This is grossly exaggerated. At least on Velika server, there are no such things, speaking from being a member of a top guild, top 3 tbh, as well as part of others. Those guilds that demand HO are very few and far between, and its usually one off players, and not the entire guild stance.
If you die so much in dungeons you should be flamed to be fair. There are loads of guides, vids etc on dungeons one SUPPOSED to research before they venture in a dungeon. Now if its on your first few runs, no problem, but if you keep dying like that over and over, then your flaming is warranted.
If you want your gear fast, then you spend 24/7, if u have patience you dont need to. P2W is real though.
PVP is dead has been, always will. That is nothing new.
IM is still the same way pre merge, post merge, post apex etc. Only when there is some kind of event and so on, then IM will see an increase, other than that, nothing in that regards has changed.
These are the kinds of gross exaggeration that is poisoning forums and new players, and needs to stop.
ah yeah, most of what i said was exaggerated sarcasm btw.
The longer answer? This game has been on a steady decline since its introduction to Steam, and in recent years this has been accelerated exponentially due to the combined efforts of BHS and EME to do effectively nothing productive or beneficial to this game. Examples being:
Game code not optimized? Better add flashier and more CPU-intensive skills to spam that lags the game even harder.
People using Proxy to connect with reasonable ping? Better ignore our god-awful NetCode and instead ban these people and issue a DMCA instead.
Old CM quit? Community suggesting hiring well-established, well-known, seasoned veterans of the game to be the new CM? Better hire someone completely clueless and new to this game that doesn't give half a care to learn it that is not only dismissive, but openly patronizing and hostile to the player base.
Players begging for more ways to earn Gold Talents, the base enchanting material of end-game gear? Better put it in a limited time loot-box full of the very RNG people have been begging to get away from.
It's decisions like this that have caused a devastating number of older, veteran, and dedicated players to pack up shop and move to EU. BHS doesn't know their head from their !@# when it comes to optimizing a game, even with all of the money they made off of PUBG, and EME for some reason unbeknownst to everyone here - cannot seem to *not* do the complete opposite of what the community wants, in order to shake a few more dimes out of the people still willing to swipe for progress or their next cute elin costume to stuff in their wardrobe and never wear again.
Honestly, my personal suggestion would be to avoid NA right now. It's not in a good spot and it's probably going to just keep getting worse from here on out. No solution EME has presented is going to remedy the chasm of disconnect their decisions in the last couple of years has caused between them and the community - and if history is anything to go by, I don't think they honestly care.
That was my tracert ~ well is not a very good ping but at least is better than see peaks of 600 1000 2000 etc
So, i readed all comments and i still in shock, i need to question this:
THEY REMOVED DAILY CALENDAR REWARDS?
Holy god what happened with the game in this few months
I'm a lover of the action type mmo rpg, my first one was C9 and then i came to TERA, and now this. God, there is any other game with the gameplay of these games at least? Im from South America so Soul Worker is out of the conversation.
My main character was a Brawler 65 with 439 armor level and Gold Laurel. I'm.......I'm in shock right now i don't know what say....
Here I would get a lot of lag spikes for many years and whole party of course dies when it happens.
