  • (Quote) Someone debugged this a few years ago here. It's a bug in the implementation of controller support in TERA that affects certain controllers, Playstation controllers among them. Basically, the fix is to unplug the controller, or I guess as…
  • (Quote) I haven't been on there recently, so maybe it's changed now, but they used to have "surprise boxes" that were basically exactly like our lootboxes, except could randomly contain temporary versions of the costume in addition to per…
  • (Quote) Well, they would argue (not saying I agree) that each lootbox allows you to enjoy the contents because it always comes with the guaranteed item plus some random consumable item. So they would say that their customers can still "enjoy&…
  • (Quote) Basically because people spend more money if they do it ~$1.50 at a time. If you put a rare mount/costume/whatever on sale for $40-$50 (the approximate average spend to get a lootbox rare), people's subconscious goes "wow, that's nearl…
  • At this point, they cannot go back and make things account-bound because, since then, some people bought mounts, pets, and other founder tiers based on it being character-bound. (Even for the founder title -- some people will have bought multiple f…
  • (Quote) After all the drama that happened related to that continuous CCB, I can basically guarantee it's not going anywhere. The situation proved that it's definitely worth it for some people. In the end, there's a massive gulf between new and ve…
  • (Quote) Just for what it's worth, that's related to GDPR that comes into effect on May 25 (note the closure date is the same), and doesn't really have anything to do with this ruling. That said, as a short-term measure until they can figure out ex…
  • (Quote) It'll just be the same stats as the K-TERA ones, yeah, and it wasn't anything game-breaking by any means.
  • (Quote) It depends on how many servers they'd merge into. If you mean all 5 servers into 1 server, I'd have to spend over $100 in character slots, so hell no. Plus, it implies that they'd make all these changes in the first place, which I'm prett…
  • (Quote) Oh, okay. Well, you can, but I think it'd be misleading to have it labelled that way, since people will think it relates to the server location and have an impact on their ping times. But regardless, it's neither here nor there. (Quote) …
  • (Quote) FWIW, they can't do that because all the servers have to be in the same location for cross-server instances (instance/battleground matching). And well...(Quote) My point was mostly that it's not as easy as just changing some numbers. If i…
  • (Quote) It's definitely about freeing up staff time, which is about improving overall efficiency/productivity (and so saving the company money). This was a low-priority time sink that wasn't worth what they were getting paid for it, when they could…
  • (Quote) The UI for Bank and Wardrobe would also need to be updated to better handle this total number of tabs. In fact, you wouldn't be able to use a tabbed interface at all anymore as it'd be extremely unwieldy. But besides all that, the server s…
  • (Quote) That's actually not a mistake. Subscribing directly is intentionally cheaper than using a tradeable 30-day voucher.
  • (Quote) I assume you are taking about TERA PC here, as I don't think the console build can have "unable to update manifest" errors. (At least, I don't think so...) Assuming it is PC, though, it doesn't appear to be systemic. I recommen…
