Who's afraid of the hyped Ninja patch if there is any?

Veteran player here... I want to be hyped up for the ninja patch, but I just can't bring myself to love Tera. Is anyone afraid it's going to be another disappointment? The same cycle is going to start up again... Ninjas are going to be OP then after 2 weeks of the patch, people going to stop playing the game once again cause there's nothing to do or just not rewarding to play. It also doesn't feel like there's that much hyped for the ninja patch because there has been many people that have already left Tera. I once had an entire friend-list and was one of the biggest top guild and every-time I check the friend-list or guild-list, it's a ghost town and people haven't logged in in months.

  • Much like with previous class releases, I'm sure that the Ninja will bring a bunch of players back, especially people that enjoy healers like my self with my mystic, I've been usually playing the game in short bursts and then take x months break till new content comes.

    With the way that Tera is and it's current state, it's usually hard to keep players occupied when there's not that much new content with each release, aka not much to do outside of the usual dungeon runs and then generally CS if that tickles your fancy.
  • Just play the game if you enjoy it, if not then don't. Why people over complicate things. Its a video game. You may be right. Still, it's a ninja class on a game like TERA. Doesn't get better than that for a while. The combat in this game is amazing and you get to practice that with a ninja! Siiick if you ask me.

    Too many people complain in this game. It kinda ruins the anticipation. Wing it. Loosen up.

    It's normal that many people in your friends list leave. People move on. Many young people just stop playing games altogether for a long time(maybe forever) to pursue professional goals or games don't hold interest for them anymore as they reach adulthood. Others just move to newer games while others become displeased with the changes made to the game. This happens to pretty much all mmos as they are the kind of game that changes the most between dlc, patches and versions.

    As for the patch, yes. It will pick the interest of past Tera players if they see it. Some will come, some won't bother. I myself skipped the whole Gunner era because of lack of interest, and came back not for Ninja nor Brawler, but to see the colorful visuals again. Will probably leave again soonish. The mystic buff is a sort boon in a sea of bad decisions yet still an addition to the overall bad decision process. I mean, the devs or whoever is boss to the devs decided to make OP classes left and right, break all balance, then patch old classes little by little, usually by adding even more buffs to the game, all instead of just making the new classes balanced, or at least not dps demons in the first place. And that's the part that may scare old timers to the game. Though it seems to happen to all mmos. Apparently power sells and all mmos buff their characters in the long run. Though some manage to keep things more balanced overall that others.

  • The truth is, Tera doesn't have the 'spark' anymore. People keep coming to Tera because there is no new game to replace it.

    And faceplant into invisible walls!

    In all seriousness, I was hyped in all patches because it's something new. This one is special to me though, as it comes with the long awaited healer changes..(Since December 3rd!) and healer damage buffs. It adds another character i can solo things on. I'm very excited for what's to come on the 17th!
  • people who say ninja is good in pvp dont research enough

    This is sadly, the truth.

    There are no other action based MMOs with an anime-esque art style, skill based pvp system, and truly open 3D world. The closest thing was Black desert, but it lacks structure and isn't F2P. Tera has no direct competition. Eme is trying and the BC/KS update was a huge improvement that brought FWC back, but without BHS stepping in and fixing actual mechanical problems this game is living on borrowed time.

    The new "update" is another iteration of identical gear farming circlejerk fueled by the only thing that matters: cashshop greed - or - from publisher's perspective, a whale farming simulator. Sentence that would be more fitting is "do you have any hope, that some part of this update will not be another disappointment".
    Just so infuriating that all the good games are ruined because companies just don't care about the game and its all about the money that they in fact lose cause they are to short minded to see that their choices kill their games rather than make them money

    Sadly, [filtered] players spending thousands of dollars everytime something new hits the game (cash shop fluff, update, w/e) is sufficient enough. hell look at EME - it's been enough to fund all their mobile nonsenses and ZMR.

    It's so sufficient, they won't even consider something along the lines of "less is more", "gameplay instead of endless cash shop baits" and so on.

    BnS, BDO just recently had their NA/EU launches.
    The problem with Blade and Soul (BnS) is that their pulisher is just a bunch of idiots. people not following common sense. They are there to kill the game, not to make money. Oh well, not gonna talk about it anymore. It's just gonna upset me again.

    And there you had a very nice example. BnS coming out new, tons of problems. Instead of solving them, they rolled out the warlock class. And guess what? People left the game despite the new class. From a 1000-player-login-server-queue to a deserted game where you couldn't find even a buddy in 2h for your dailies/next gear upgrade dungeon.
    Need .. to.. stop.. raging..
  • BnS sucks. I can see why it died out in korea. There is nothing special about that game. It's basically street fighter with an MMO theme and grind fest and odd upgrading system.

    Those games aren't meant to be played on PC's cause we use keyboards to play. That sort of game should have been created for consoles.

    The game has nice flashy moves but requires some on point reactions. Too many buttons to press to play it efficiently like it was meant to.
  • NopiNopi ✭✭✭✭✭
    Yeah. I was one of those who played and left BnS after around a month. Definitely not the game for me. See. This is part of the magic of Tera. You can leave but it keeps welcoming you back, with all of these problems, yet with that charm. Like a human being. You take him/her as friend with all his/her good and all his/her bad. In that same term, BnS is that d-bag who doesn't want to be your friend. :p
