  • (Quote) How the materials entered the market at this point doesn't really impact this discussion all that much because it already had a disproportionate sway on the in-game economy all this while. Besides, they can't very well say "oh, we nee…
  • (Quote) No market was ever supposed to get that much advanced notice -- certainly K-TERA didn't get it. We actually did have an advantage already because a) we knew this reset was going to happen soon, and b) we knew the rates were going to be cus…
  • (Quote) Yeah, apparently the token exchange rates are different in each market, so for this one it seems likely that it'll be "fixed" (although there's always a chance that something else will not be as intended). The other bug... I'm rea…
  • (Quote) It's the concept (as shown elsewhere in retail) of meeting monthly sales metrics/quotas by creating pent-up demand. They lose a few sales throughout the year, but can artificially create big spikes during holidays. I can see why people do…
  • (Quote) As far as I know, they only successfully used this early in the year when it still worked. They haven't used it since the build that bugged it (which was when EME was going to use it). Benefit to being the early bird, I guess. They were …
  • (Quote) It is definitely part of the problem with the system, anyway. People say they want "better class balance" but the way this system is designed just unbalances things even further along a different dimension. If "balance"…
  • (Quote) Well, even though they're reusing some art/assets, this is basically a new game built on a new engine. To totally rebuild TERA PC in UE4 would be... a lot of effort. But I mean, sure, they "can" do anything if they have the time …
  • I wonder if the underlying reason for this is actually some sort of anti-virus, anti-spyware, or other similar software on the computer that is serving as a proxy for requests. What software do you guys have for that stuff? (It could also be adwar…
  • (Quote) It's not a publisher decision, but a developer decision. They don't provide talents in the build they give to any other market; it's purely K-TERA exclusive. My personal belief is that they should eliminate talents in K-TERA just so we ca…
  • (Quote) Consider for example this thread where, according to that person's broad definition, even that game can be considered "pay2win." Which is why the whole argument is pretty silly -- it means whatever people want it to mean, and wit…
  • (Quote) Did you at least send in a support ticket so they can try to solve the problem? Without more information, it's impossible to know what the cause is.
  • (Quote) In MMOs? Pretty hard to find examples that are not at all "pay2win" if you have a broad enough definition, honestly. Most MMOs have a problem with gold sellers, and people who buy gold often use it to buy clears and/or other ele…
  • (Quote) At PAX, they said that beta would start by the end of the year, so probably like November/December.
  • My guess is that it's a bad patch CDN node. I recommend the steps here: https://forums.enmasse.com/tera/discussion/comment/117660/#Comment_117660 If someone does the first part, it would help to determine what server(s) are bad. The second part …
  • (Quote) BHS's argument (that I don't entirely agree with) is that, because it can be sold on the broker, and thereby F2P players can get it without themselves paying anything, it's accessible to everyone. Their secondary argument is that the benef…
