Could this be the worst major update in Tera?
I mean If we go all the way back and think about all the previous major patches that we had in tera, from lv65 fate of arun expansion to VM4 Gunner patch, VM5 Brawler patch to VM6 Ninja update to what we finally got now that ended up being a bigger downgrade than an upgrade to me which only failed to bring back most of the players.
But i guess with Blue Hole its like they decided to finally say Oooops. looks like we guys made these new flavor of the month gender locked classes too OP, but wait hold on, we'll fix them by making every single other class just as OP as them,just give us a year and after that we'll probably continue making more female gender locked classes until we completely milk this game dry to the last penny.
The point is that it were still stuck in the same formula of progression. And been whats honestly separating Tera from the rest of the MMO genre. MMORPGS in general were never about just playing them for some endless hungry power gear fest race. Rather that it needs to have a purpose to role play in it, rich lore, customizations, professions, living breathing endless exploring world and most important social interaction which this game just doesn't have.

but yes this patch is the worst since they kill alchemy
But fate of arun also had the biggest potential to revive tera again with gunner patch and steam release. But in the long term, it is what it is now.
In this patch so much got removed, lost more gold than i made on all the gatherfast scrolls that payed me back in pennies and crafting became more worthless along with pvp that is now dead with no CS/FWC ques.
since fate of arun patch tera is just less fun, it is like we lost what we love in tera since this patch and since this time bhs just take decision to made more people unhappy
Nowadays, I'm not so sure. Most MMORPGs are now oriented around supporting largely-solo play, and have end-game centered around a vertical gear cycle that regularly resets (so new players can always catch up). They also sort of followed that pattern after WoW did it over a decade ago, and the genre hasn't really moved off that center. Of course, some do a better job of disguising it/supporting it with other elements, but I'm not so convinced that TERA is unique in being stuck in this same formula. The main issue is just that they're disguising it poorly, and the content doesn't tend to be very polished or novel.
ps. sorry for my eng i still got problem whit type in it or to make proper words trruly sorry.
If it gets players to stick around and enjoy their time on the game with others.. its a good patch!
The game is unplayable!
Apart from the dragon mounts issue this looks like Tera's average major patch...
I miss the Queen's patch days and how the game used to be pre 65 but I'm not going to complain about it either.
I agree that the new classes broke every sign of balance ever since reaper came out but the point is that BHS was never able to put the legacy classes on par with the new ones ( and yea...I didn't like race / gender lock either ) .
I'm simply tired of how repetitive the game is becoming and getting sick of elitism and all this "ilvl" importance when it once didn't use to have any ( I remember when people were still running hard modes in +9 , no one asking for +12 or 15 as long as you knew what to do.....now you see +12/15 dps spamming auto attack in front of some bams and dpsing in dot aoes just to wonder how they died 15 seconds later ).
The patch isn't great for pvpers as it isn't great for pve players, it's not different from the usual content we get.
I don't like the new way to get glyphs, that's it....I miss ToT and SJG .
I think the game should also start becoming more alt-friendly , more and more classes kept coming out and we just can't keep up gearing every alt we like anymore .
I'm still asking myself if we'll ever see those undeveloped regions getting finished, if we'll ever manage to see the landscapes shown in those amazing official artworks....and I get kind of sad when I think that Tera's old story is slowly getting replaced by a new one, when I see the island of dawn reduced like this , Balderon's access getting more and more locked and hidden , lore getting even more messy...
Not to talk about how "+15" grind ruined the game balance itself in more than just one way.
Dungeons mechs keep getting easier, raw damage keeps increasing, everything keeps being based on crit rate since WH, other stats seem to mean nothing....attacks patterns get displayed on the ground so that no one even has to pay attention to the boss animations anymore ( and still people don't care about dodging them but they will say you are a noob healer when they die...).
Tera's golden days seem to be over, let's face it....patches keep being repetitive by making 2-3 new dungeons come out every 6 months , new gear , new VM ( it kept going on like this for about 4 years and we still didn't get any other solution to this issue ) , maybe a new op genderlocked class or some old class tweaks....and costumes and rng boxes in the meanwhile.
I'm not blaming EME for what they do, they are actually doing more than many other publishers would....but still they don't seem to have as much power or influence talking about the game's related decisions as we'd like....BHS doesn't seem to care a lot about their playerbase.
Back then when I started playing this game I loved doing any kind of content with my guildies and friends, couldn't stop wondering about how the game could have evolved....now it feels like the game is slowly sinking...and my friends kept and still keep quitting.
Every patch seems to add something nice and take a step backwards talking about something else...can't really say which one was the worst one.
The paragraph spacing is strong with this one
Not for half the servers. Also, TSHM wasn't even worth calling a Hard Mode.
