    Were the ones previewable on the character creation screen added? http://i.imgur.com/Q2YLc79.jpg
    I remember bringing them up on the old forums, but I kind of gave up on them being implemented, and haven't checked if they ever were.
    The short answer is no. The character creation screen is actually a stupid bug. In the actual game proper, BHS remapped all those outfits to different gunner-specific designs. But for some reason, the remapping didn't happen on the character creation screen. So in order to make those outfits work for gunners, they'd actually have to create a separate costume just for Gunners that is internally mapped back to the original look instead of being swapped. But all the other looks that you can actually get as armor in-game are on the fashion coupon merchant now (as far as I can tell).

    I remember seeing at least the 3rd one maybe even the 1st one in the coupon shop. Different colours though.

    @Spacecats What's with our patches being behind EU? First we didn't get dragon drops like they did, and now we're getting patches a week or two later? What gives?
    For what it's worth, what EU got is nothing like what had been proposed here. In EU you can, through a grind estimated by EU players at about 3 months of work, get a mount with no passives. The passive only comes from lootboxes.

    If EME had proposed to do that, we could have had that on day one too, but it's not what anyone wanted. The only reason for having them in-game was so that the passive skill didn't remain cash-shop only. We'll see what the compromise finally ends up being.

    I noticed the Increase Crit power line there in their event description :)
    I am linking it for you!

    Just wanna ask and clarified, what will happen to the previous token the Shadecore, Shadetop etc.. Are they still usable?or they just rename the previous token to a new one token? Can someone give info for me, i dont want to waste my 20k shadecore and 15k shadetop,,, RIP my token..

    Read the patch notes on the GF linked to the OP in this thread.
    They won't be farmable anymore, the new tokens come as new items, they don't convert them.

    Oh I see -- it's a new event they just launched today; I was talking about the old event. Perhaps this new event is the same or similar to the one we will get.

    Has any market actually changed this? I thought they were leaving it this way on purpose to make Canephoras more desirable.

    KTERA has bravery potions with a very short CD but still a long duration. JTERA has 30m CD with 30m duration, iirc. NA gets shafted with a 30m duration and 1h CD. And there is literally nearly zero reason to use Canephora over Bravery - for any class.

    Spacecats said back in August that he'd ask the production team why our version didn't have the shorter CD braveries, but he never followed up on it.

    Yes, I'm salty. This is one of the very few things I've thought was [filtered] for well over a year - any healer mains have next to no use for Canephora; the only time we'll use them is if we're doing SS and Bravery is on CD, but they already give Braveries through elite and could always add more ways to get them through either the sub or the store, if that's what the problem is. I have somewhere around a thousand Canephoras, which I really only use very rarely on alts, and still hundred of Braveries that I can't use because their CD is ridiculous.

    Hmm - most likely, then, there are some other items with different names that provide the same buffs with different cooldowns. I guess maybe something could change in the next patch when they reorganize all the consumables, but who knows. I'll put it on the list to at least serve a as a reminder.

    I also been wondering how the bravery issue has been doing. Considering you get a lot of bravery just getting the weekly VG dailies not to mention there's elite box you can get every day. I have so much in my bank that I barely even use at all.

    Edit: It looks like this event allows you to win the proc (the passive skill) but not the mount. (In EU, they are separate.) I guess you would still earn the mount the previous way, or buy the mount from the from the cash shop. Presumably for us, they'll have to do it a bit differently.

    That is both awesome and sad. It's awesome because I've always wanted Tera to have basic mounts and then you buy/earn skills for them. It's sad because I always assumed they couldn't do it but, apparently, they can and just don't want to.

    Yeah it's been a long time since I saw the source info (was last year I believe), but iirc the lower CD ones are actually separate items (i.e. separate IDs - dunno if KTERA/JTERA has the same ones we have in addition or if they just have the different kinds). I'm just not sure why we never got them, since it seems like a pretty easy fix unless there's some cash shop politics going on - which, again, I'd gladly accept them being pushed more through elite or something in return for the ones that have either 15m/30m CDs.

    Well, only for the passives, so they're not really "mount skills" exactly. (They apply to the owner.)

    But actually, I've been re-reading the whole thing again (EU events are always so complicated!) and it looks like it actually is the dragons themselves in this case that include the skills.

    To get the version with both buffs, you need to collect... the entire alphabet from A to Z plus a symbol from an RNG box (sold on the cash shop, dropped from certain end-game dungeons, or provided after two hours). To get the color of dragon you want, you need a specific symbol that also drops form the same RNG box.

    But if you actually do collect all the letters from A to Z, you could just trade those in for "1x Tier 11 +15 Enchantment Scroll". So...... do you really want that dragon?

    (Nevermind the fact that the odds of collecting all those letters seems highly suspect...)

    Hopefully this isn't what EME was forced into, but we'll see...

    No idea what happened to the other steampunk outfit. I'd forgotten about it until you brought it up. I remember a long time ago someone from eme said they only got the one in their build.

    Huh... is that a thing? Anyone got a link to this? It sounds like a topic that got brought up before I was at EME.

    I also remember you saying you were going to check in on the bravery cool down since other reigions have them come up alot sooner, but we still haven't heard back about that either. :<

    That's a little off-topic, but sure. I think I posted this in the thread where people asked about it, but it turned out that the bravery potions in other regions are actually different items with a slightly different effect (and cooldown). I haven't forgotten about them!

    But no one ever reported it back to us (or if you did I missed it). So how are we to know whether it's been forgotten or not.

    Again if I just totally missed it, I apologize.

    Everyone would be appreciative towards the quality information you find on the GF site. I just want it to be more publicly available, not for only those who read forums and reddit.
    GF posted patch notes on the 18th for a maintenance that takes place on the 20th. That's a ~48 hour notice which is... standard practice. They get their patch before us, so does it not make sense they get their patch notes first as well? It's a rather hypocritical to praise GF in this case.
    18.10.2016

    The next big patch to arrive on our servers will go live on 20th October. The main features of this latest update include some brand-new instances, an extra battleground, plus a revamp for the Sorcerer class.

    I don't think implying I don't read well is going to get you far when almost everything you've brought up has received a response from EME. As I said in my last response, it doesn't seem to matter whether EME actually answers certain topics or not when it comes to people who complain often as any response put out by EME is either completely ignored or just rejected, which is just proven by your posts honestly.

    -Bravery, CU:V, and Rally all got responses from EME, there's even one in this very thread...
    -Event: I, and Counterpart (who even put a quote for you...) have said there was an event by EME coming, it's next week
    -Passive issue, it had been fixed a long time ago, they just didn't say it, which I have said I think they should state when these things are fixed

    It may be a buggy content, but just look at CU... rally...this whole game basically :) i think we can live with one more buggy content. EME should convince BHS to release buggy talents here too. (BHS had the courage to implement p2w dragons, script2win guild quest, altguild2win CU)

    Clear answers does not help here, we are playing without talents, even without the same costume and emote palette what other regions have.
    Jtera and Ktera are the main ones of course, just for example the anniversary reskinned car in jtera, the collaboration event costume and car in ktera.

    No, I was not talking about the patch notes. I am talking about the their teasers. They started posting teasers on the 30th of September. Lilith Keep guide came out on the 10th.
    10 day before the patch.
    What do we have? 4 pictures and a drop table and entry info. Great.

    "Return to this page every Thursday morning at 11 a.m. PDT in the lead-up to release for new information about this expansive update!"

    @CobaltDragon

    This is not exciting new information, that is a picture and a sentence, we are forced to live on the information pieces Yosha, Loriri and Seraphimus translates for us. We have to watch ktera videos to check out stuff.
    It is not the community's role to teach people basics. Even EME had little guides on previous instances in the old days.

    Now everyone who didn't read Yosha's or Essentialmana's guide on the first day and knows attack patterns, etc. are... you know what they are and how they are treated. The only chance you get for carry is if you have friends.

    You should give more "exciting" info that is actually USEFUL for everyone. Maybe link from the Welcome msg? I can't believe its still garbage not used for anything.
    These info won't teach anyone how to play, but it is INFORMATION.

    Check this out how it should have been done here as well, this is exciting bits of information:
    - Overall - DO you see that gear material info? that is exciting, I can plan ahead not just a [filtered] up not even properly french name posted on the site to look forward to
    - Sorcerer changes - I can speculate on my new glyph set, or the rotation, not just 1 picture with a few words of what skills will change
    - Lilith's Keep - DO YOU SEE THE ATTACK PATTERN - Yes! I cant play that yet, but THAT is exciting piece of information.
    - Iron Battleground - Hp of the sieges, range of the sieges? Each has its own individual description? Now thats something. They even put out the rewards obtainable.
    - Ruinous Manor - You see how all boss has attack pattern pictures? Now Yosha can fill in the "Boss says this" then this pattern will come lines
    - Vault of Kaprima - Some players never went to VoK, this is useful, even for someone like me, who knew nothing about the patterns, my gear was better so nothing really killed me there

    Your turn EME. You are turning out to be a huge disappointment in the past half year. I don't know what happened, but I hope you resolve it soon. o:)

    - Legal issue, happens, but it shouldn't hold EME back from trying in respect of other content.
    - I am sorry, where did I yell? I suggest that EME as we have a past precedent (costume contest), should do it again and again and again. It has been done before, it can be done again.
    - :) great way to not care about playerbase, who cares if less people can clear content or whatever (see my 30 man raid posts) here in the western region.

    Had not seen that, my apologies. In my opinion those guides are completely inferior to what members of the community put out. I really don't see why it even matters who makes the guide. I rather see community made guides that are detailed, and formatted well, publicized than a mediocre 'guide' being put out just to say they did something. In which case, I have already suggested possibly bringing more attention to people who do put in the time to put out really good guides.

    Normally other publishers don't do much in regards to informing the player base, as their efforts get ignored, and instead publicize community members that do things. People are more willing to listen to another member of the community anyways, as they are seen as an actual person that is apart of a similar group, where as the publisher is just an intimidating entity since they're generally a 'business' and not a 'person'.

    Although, the issue with Tera is that any helpful member of the community doesn't really get much attention from EME, or BHS for that matter. There's also the fact the community is rather hostile anyways and many are unwilling to help, some often prefer to put out completely inaccurate information as well just to fit their narrative. If you have any suggestions for what EME could change to do this then feel free to say them.

    For Rally Quests, you either have to bring in evidence or nothing will be done about it (good luck with that). That is probably their stance for CU:V as well. There are also minor changes coming for both cases as well.

    Even if they try, do we really need updates that include "no" over and over? That's a waste of resources. There's nothing EME/BHS can even do about the legal issues other than having BHS not produce content that won't reach NA, which isn't going happen. You just have to accept the fact you aren't going to always have what others have.

    I doubt lack of talents is why some people can't clear content... Would it make things easier? Sure, but if a person is flat out failing then... I don't think it matters.

People are more willing to listen to another member of the community anyways, as they are seen as an actual person that is apart of a similar group, where as the publisher is just an intimidating entity since they're generally a 'business' and not a 'person'.

    Although, the issue with Tera is that any helpful member of the community doesn't really get much attention from EME, or BHS for that matter. There's also the fact the community is rather hostile anyways and many are unwilling to help, some often prefer to put out completely inaccurate information as well just to fit their narrative. If you have any suggestions for what EME could change to do this then feel free to say them.

    No it did not, Server Crash yes, there is a thread about it.
    Rally quest abuse and CU:V abuse. I didn't see any thread or comment about it. Please link where they mentioned it somewhere.
    For Rally Quests, you either have to bring in evidence or nothing will be done about it (good luck with that). That is probably their stance for CU:V as well. There are also minor changes coming for both cases as well.

    - Legal issue, happens, but it shouldn't hold EME back from trying in respect of other content.
    Even if they try, do we really need updates that include "no" over and over? That's a waste of resources. There's nothing EME/BHS can even do about the legal issues other than having BHS not produce content that won't reach NA, which isn't going happen. You just have to accept the fact you aren't going to always have what others have.

    - I am sorry, where did I yell? I suggest that EME as we have a past precedent (costume contest), should do it again and again and again. It has been done before, it can be done again.
    Even if they did, what happens if BHS says no? EME doesn't produce content.

    - :) great way to not care about playerbase, who cares if less people can clear content or whatever (see my 30 man raid posts) here in the western region.
    I doubt lack of talents is why some people can't clear content... Would it make things easier? Sure, but if a person is flat out failing then... I don't think it matters.

    Inferior or not inferior doesnt matter (I do agree with you tho), because the majority of the community, and new players do not know about community sites, they do not check them as often. They don't even come to read this forum!
    All they see is their:
    - Launcher
    - Welcome message - not sure anyone checks this

    Spellbound is advertised on the launcher platform, but the info people find there is absolutely nothing. I do not want EME to write a guide like Yosha or Loriri does, but these telltales for major attacks helps in every new content to learn the ropes for people we can't reach on the forums or elsewhere.
    And those attack patterns and telltales DO help a lot, because at least you know later what killed you. Less suffering in your first lvl 65 dungeon.
    Imagine less people dying in DFNM to 1. poison puddles, lines. 2. verno lasers.
    In ssnm tanks to Imperator shield phase, or double rings due to not knowing you have to move out and not waste an i-frame on the first circle.
    There have been similar EME guides before: I think about these ones, here they give detailes about mechanisms like when to stun, etc.

    I try and spread the word about guides and changes in my group of friends, but even veteran players come back with questions about the UI interface, stamina changes, new battleground info, drop tables, crafting changes. Because they can't find them on the teaser page, but we all know it will be part of the build.
    With new and returning players possibly coming to the game in the new patch, I would consider doing "guides" like that.


    About the CU abuse. Future patches contain changes like only guilds above lvl 20 can put out a tower, they reduce the size of CU:V area, (increase the min distance between towers? i am not sure about this one) etc.
    So regarding that, I think they really could at least share that in a new (thread! noone checks devtracker) with the community, who are producing 20 pages long threads about abusing and whining. So at least we know that there will be changes made to the system and not left like this... less rage :)

    About talents: As I explained in an other post in the 30 man raid content thread, the problem that talens for certain classes give much better dps or even an extra I-FRAME or survivablity. My problem is not with the ablity to clear, but the population this content is made for.
    If you consider that this is a 30 man raid content, that cannot be IM'ed.... the population who will be able to clear it consistently per server will be much lower due to being in a clear disadvantage compared to ktera players, etc. welcome to a supposed MMORPG
    I do not wish to ponder on this any further. I am sure I will be able to clear it like any other content in this game since I play, so I do not care to explain my concerns when there is obvioulsy no chance that we are heard or anything will be implemented.

    That thread had been created way early so they can ask BHS to make changes, I do not think Spacecats or anyone even checked that thread, and that build is actually not far away, so this is a lost cause.

    And I do think that publishing means that you are actively making this game better for you community, not just implementing whatever the developer gives you :) and I thought that EME is trying to do that... hence we make these threads to get 1 response on a totally bs post (like counterpoint and you did to mine) not on the ones where we seriously offer our thoughts.

    Thank you for taking your time to respond to my posts Yamazuki.
