    Yeah please get rid of it. It's very annoying.

    This is about the single most annoying thing about this patch.

    Like if I can sum up my experiences with it it's like.

    LOG IN

    *Sees gigantic Vortex Screen.*

    SFX: FWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSIIIINNNWWWEEEEISIIIIISSSSSNNNNNGGGGGGHH

    Like seriously? e_e Whoever thought this was a good idea should seriously be put in time out.

    No need to go all Pegasus mode on us chill TERA if it aint broke don't fix it.

    Also we don't need that whole "Tera Rewards" Logo stapled up on the upper right hand side of the screen that thing is seriously eye jarring.
  • Question from TERA community: Didn't anyone QA/test this patch?

    I was browsing some KTera patch notes and came upon some change in Korea where, before selecting a server, you have to type in a secondary password. I'd assume, we got that in our build but without the password.

    I could assume it's one of those on screen number pad security things? More games are using that stuff now. I suppose because people keep using easy passwords and get hacked easily. :/
  • I'm experiencing the same thing, but my first guess is maybe it has to do with the server merge that's coming up.
  • There's a positive change I've seen with this, though.
    Sometimes my internet drops for a few seconds, and before this patch I'd get kicked completely out of the game. Now I just get a notification saying I've been disconnected and I'm going to be directed to the server select screen. I click 'okay' and then, just as it says, I'm moved to the server select screen. It's a wonderful change in my opinion. Instead of waiting for the whole game to load up again, I just have to be logged back in to the server and then off and away I go again.

    I feel like this change is directly related to this.

    This is certainly better than just being disconnected and getting a Generic Game Error.

    Still, it's a bit disconcerting for many to see this after not seeing it for years.

    First: You don't touch a running system just for fun.
    Because in the past, EME had things fixed and another bug/error comes up. This means, there could have been an error behind this we dont know of. As we dont know it directly, it may only have occured for a few of us (see @Loculi)

    Second: The game still has the same routine
    We still are placed onto the last server we played on. Only that we are now running through apparently the standard server login procedure. We would rage if we had to click the server extra from te server select screen

    Third: It's not gonna kill us
    How often do we login into Tera a day? Once. (well for me) It's not like we login 20 times a day. Unlike other MMOs, we are not being afk-kicked out. You can stay logged in the whole day.

    Game crashes rather frequently for some people, some people have to relog before certain bosses every time, etc. It doesn't inconvenience you, but it does for other people.

    I'm quite often and for long around the forums, but this is the first time I hear e.g. of people relogging before bosses. I also did not meet them ingame.
    The game crashes appear sometimes, but it's not like the forums are flooded with people reporting game crashes all 5min.

    Well then, I guess there could be a silent minority, having to login several times a day. However, they should ask themselves why they dont fix the problem. I imagine it very, very inconvenient to relog every time before the next boss. Because tera dungeons nearly only consists of bosses.
  • It is a "minor" inconvenience, yes. So I guess we're just supposed to "accept" that. Even though, before that patch, there was no login inconvenience at all. Patches are supposed to make the game better, I thought?

    Hmm. Well what do I know. I also thought wormholes were supposed to be fast. Mang if I knew it was going to take 5 minutes to "vortex" to my destination, I would've just walked.

    Well i have a crappy computer so i have to relog before starting any donjons if i afked in a town (i can do multiples donjons without any relog if i dont afk too much my character before)

    The only way to fix it its to buy a new computer, but cant afford it for now

    So yeah the vortex is very..VERY annoying for me

    They broke the game again. The "vortex" happens when you select a server. So what this means is that they broke it so hard, AGAIN, that the game re-selects your server for no damn reason every time during log-in and creates the vortex screen. If you look closely you will notice the server selection screen for a brief moment. And yes, even the pre-loading splash takes forever now.

    Broken big time. *claps*
  • The vortex is simply annoying and confusing to me since it never happened before and seems highly unnecessary. However, a couple of my friends have mentioned having log in issues where it will flash the server select, go to vortex, then crash the whole game causing them to have to boot it up again. Sometimes it will crash again and they'll have to do this two or three times.

    Well I see this wasn't fixed.
