  • (Quote) Maintenance hasn't started yet; it'll be starting in just under 10 hours from now. So yeah, it must be doing an automatic repair, or lost a key file and decided to reinstall.
  • (Quote) Is this through Steam? It may just be a re-sync, as I don't think the patch has actually released yet.
  • (Quote) They said on Friday's stream (that gave the high level of the notes) that it'd be posted on Tuesday during maintenance.
  • (Quote) Yeah, definitely agreed here. It's confusing to have the same item discounted on the shop proper and also a deal, since you have to be very careful to check both places to know where the better deal is. I agree that this sort of thing sho…
  • (Quote) Well, I think you're right, but part of this is also due to our region having events that were so rewarding that there was no reason/benefit to playing the game after that. (Some people got more than all the mats they would need, or the eq…
  • (Quote) They said on Friday's stream that they are still working out the details and are hoping to have news out (and a Q&A stream) by around the end of the month. The merger is scheduled for the fall.
  • (Quote) Yeah, these 280-speed flying mounts were taken off the store before, but they brought it back for the flying mount sale. If I recall what they showed on the stream on Friday, there will also be a way to earn the pegasus mounts in game in t…
  • (Quote) In practice the dyeable costume price makes some sense if you remember it used to be in lootboxes and the odds were that you'd pay at least that much or more (or potentially much more). But you're right that, standalone like that, it looks…
  • (Quote) In the end, there's not much to be gained at this point about going back and forth about it, because regardless, we're finally getting it, and the most important thing is making sure that they take into consideration the time gap between Ko…
  • (Quote) Honestly, this is the part that I really don't understand about the strategy, given that the game's monetization for years has been about pushing people to create alts (buy character slots, bank slots, wardrobe slots, character-bound costume…
  • (Quote) I guess they might as well; I feel like we might have had one sometime before. But it's also sort of like "we made end-game gearing really punishing, but it's okay because every once in a while we make the odds slightly better!" …
  • (Quote) Honestly, I am surprised. Personally, it would make me feel as though they created this long grind with the express purpose of selling these boosters, and that I find kind of distasteful. I do get that XP Boost have been sold on the shop …
  • (Quote) Honestly, I'm torn between "he didn't realize it was sarcastic" and "he did realize it was sarcastic by posted it anyway as a sort of dark humor given that it's really happening". Given who we're talking about, it truth…
  • Incidentally, regarding my suspicion of what happened, they actually clarified it a bit further on the stream today, and it actually is a pretty stupid issue. There's some setting behind the scenes they can control that sets the deadline for the se…
  • (Quote) I think the literal reason is: none of the current staff were working on TERA production at any time when leaderboards really mattered before. Unless I'm forgetting something, I think last time it really mattered was probably crusades and T…
