(Quote) Well, also a difference (for comparison sake) is that everything in the EU fashion coupon shop is x10 the price compared to here, so getting 40 in a dungeon there would be like getting 4 here. Here, level 65 BAMs have a chance of dropping …

(Quote) The comments on the blog post are brutal! And well, yeah, for the most part they're making small tweaks to reassure people, but they haven't made fundamental changes (nor would I expect they can make fundamental changes on a dime). If the…

(Quote) It may not be a build thing at all, but just a marketing decision in both regions. (Or maybe, seeing what happened in K-TERA and with the last class, BHS decided to tell the other regions that it's better to do it this way.)

(Quote) Probably they didn't do their EN patch this morning after maintenance.

(Quote) Note though that one difference is that, in EU, you can buy fashion coupons on the cash shop, which you currently can't do in NA. So it's not necessarily an indicator of what they will do here. (Plus, even then, the fashion coupon version…

(Quote) I'm confused by this comment. EME didn't skip any patch -- they got the exact same patches BHS released to all global regions, including JP, TW, RU, EU, etc. It was even on the same schedule too, plus/minus a week or so. EU did some extr…

(Quote) I suspect this is exactly right. Ultimately, TERA's F2P model is about encouraging people to create more characters, and as the only region that does costume changes when you race/gender change, they probably want to avoid a giant demand s…

(Quote) It's basically impossible. First of all, other than Korea, the rest of the world isn't even playing the latest version, so they're not on an even playing field to really discuss the changes that are needed. (Yes, there are fans that provi…

(Quote) You've got to put your username in between the \Users\ and \Pictures\, and what your username is depends on your computer. Try using Windows Explorer to navigate to your C:\Users\ folder to see what your username is.

(Quote) You're right. For better or worse, this is a very deliberate balancing design by BHS. They wouldn't simply merge them; they'd rebalance absolutely everything and come up with some other way to control supply of these tradeable items, and/…

(Quote) Hello Kitty aside (which is a special licensing situation), artificial strategy is a tried-and-true retail strategy. They're building up pent-up demand, so that when it comes back for a sale a) people who want them will buy them (increasin…

(Quote) Truthfully, I think this may be part of the reason they do it -- as a sort of client-enforced "rate control", which has to do with how they (used to?) calculate via the PRNG. (Of course, client-enforced anything doesn't work, for…

(Quote) Their primary responsibility (beyond all the supporting functions like infrastructure, platform, support, QA, marketing, localization, etc.) is events, region-specific reward systems, and the cash shop (though all of these within certain bo…

(Quote) To be clear, this is my own conjecture based on what I've observed (mostly in public through various streams and forum comments from the staff) over the years, combined with my own experience working in a similar industry. It's not based o…

(Quote) I think it's their own team's biases and experiences from the Korean MMO scene (a lot of the key staff come from other Korean MMO developers, or grew up on Korean MMOs), and reactions to what has worked/hasn't worked so far by the numbers. …
