  • (Quote) It's because in EU they do level scrolls differently -- you buy "bite-sized" scrolls that give you a fixed amount of XP. But yes, because they have that feature in EU and didn't disable it, it never really made sense to have serv…
  • (Quote) I think this is honestly why, and generally speaking seems like a smarter strategy on the whole. Maybe they could have done the next tier up like RU, but going all the way as EU did seems a bit counterproductive, as it provides a lot less …
  • All of the servers now, including the PvP ones, prevent griefing entirely before level 65, and "practically" prevent it at level 65 as well given most of the areas you will go at level 65 are safe zones. You'd basically have to purposeful…
  • It is possible that they could put a limit on the contents of the final box and some of the "exclusive" aspects, such as the title, may not keep working indefinitely. I wouldn't necessarily assume that all of the benefits will keep workin…
  • (Quote) Steam patches are always bigger because they distribute the files in full. If you use the launcher, it does a differential patch for each file, so is always much smaller. It is true that if you're playing TERA NA through Steam, you'll prob…
  • (Quote) Well, if all things were equal and we could do whatever we want, I think it would be great to have more character development options and to make all classes available to all races/genders. I don't think anyone would be like "no, I don…
  • (Quote) I don't think it's a question of hiding information or a problem of funding. BHS said a few years ago that they had a choice to make: they could either create more new classes each narrowly focused, or take the new classes to more races/ge…
  • My understanding is that originally they thought they could provide the rewards via the name reservation campaign. But it turns out that doesn't work, so now they've changed it to be in-game events that grant you a character slot per account and th…
  • In EU the patch was about 450 MB, so I'd expect probably around the same here.
  • This is an ancient bug (probably 3+ years), but I don't think they'll fix it because that zone is basically dead after the quest revamp. Now that they've hidden zone quests from default view, most people will never even realize that map is there. …
  • (Quote) The expectation is that the Level 60 Scrolls will be disabled at launch for Valkyries, just as happened with Ninja. Other XP boosting elements would work in game (BuddyUp, Elite, XP Scrolls, TERA Rewards, etc.) but not the instant-60 scrol…
  • This mount will probably be included in next week's new build, so EME will probably put it up for sale shortly after that. It would surprise me a lot if they don't try to sell it during the Valkyrie rush. (The new build also features the adjustmen…
  • Everyone who reaches 65 in the first 24 hours will get the same title. This change was made starting with the ninja class because there are now too many different XP boost items in the game (BuddyUp, TERA Rewards, Elite, etc.) that it was basically…
  • There's not really any point arguing about it. The truth is that it could and should have been communicated more clearly to avoid potential misunderstandings. It is true that they never actually announced the class release date in any previous com…
  • (Quote) If you have a job where you can get some vacation days, why not use it to play video games? It's a lot cheaper than taking a trip somewhere. Of course, not everyone has that luxury, and that has to be respected too. (I swear the most rel…
