Not surprising at all, that's how most Korean MMOs that have been localized works. Only a few have concurrent update cycles. For example I believe Ragnarok was 4 episodes ahead at one point. It's one of the major complaints next to the price in Japan.

[FriskUni]

any idea exactly how far behind they actually are in japan? there hasn't been any big update for the korean client in awhile, I'd say since the level 58 cap raise

everything else has been minor tweaks etc, granted they added 2 dungeons but they're not even big or anything, especially the last one they added, shits like 2 rooms large

I dunno just seems kinda long for such minor improvements to be transferred over

[FriskUni]

just a random FYI for priests, the new MP party glyph is actually nicer than I thought it would be, while it doesn't give -that- much MP, 360 full charge, 414 full charge (glyphed +15%) and you can use it every 10seconds

mystic aura is 20mp/1second, so it's actually slightly above mystics aura but it'd probably average out to be less since it'll be really hard to keep it maintained every 10seconds on the dot

now the best part about it imo, is the range, mystic aura's are quite small range, which at times sucks for certain fights, but this priest glyph gets a massive range of 40m from the priest
and off the top of my head I don't think there's any boss room with a circumference bigger than that (unless maybe you went and hid in a corner)

to give you an idea how big the area is, here's a pic of the distance 1 way between chars and the area on the minimap

[FriskUni]

so unless google translate is failing me, there appears to be an event starting in a few hours (lasting 4days) free to play TERA for those 4 days, and for people with already active accounts during that time, they'll receive an additional +4 days play time on their account(?)

[Foxer]

They did this in March. That's exactly how it went. Free to anyone with an inactive and active account.

[TSB]

Anyone else gonna be using Skyrim to fill the gap left by TERA?

[Kachiko]

As emersive as it looks, I've never been into that type of combat interface, so I'll be passing on it.

[Cian]

Neither was I really, until I played it. Now I can't stop playing :3

[Rulke]

As emersive as it looks, I've never been into that type of combat interface, so I'll be passing on it.

I feel the same way. I really wanted to get into Skrym because it sounds really fun and looks amazing. But after watching videos and looking into the game more I just couldn't get into it :/

So Im just playing misc stuff and waiting for the start of hopeful Alpha or closed Beta late this month or next. /shrug

[Foxer]

Skyrim blows every single RPG out of the water, but it ain't enough to kill the MMO aspect of XI/TERA for me.

[Foxer]

You guys may have noticed that Korea released a large update today for their live service. You may have ALSO noticed that a lot of the requests y’all have suggested and discussed on our forums are a part of that update, along with a few other features that we at EME have been working on.

This is just a taste of TERA’s direction and the level of interaction between EME and BHS over the past few months. The next major Korean update scheduled for 11/24. You will continue to see features like these, along with content that you guys have suggested come to fruition (along with a couple of ideas from us too).

A few examples of the Korean update that were driven by EME feedback:

· Dungeon finder system
· Rest XP
· Group XP bonus
· Changed PvP Rules
--Please note the western PvP rules will be modified for this market (but YES the PvP count down timer is DEAD!) We’re working closely with BHS on what we can change and will keep you updated.--
· Guild Battle
--Again, the rules for the west will be somewhat different. We’re working with BHS on what we can change and adapt.--
· More skill diversity through new master Glyphs
· /sit (Yes we’re getting that) – Rper’s this is for you!

This is a very exciting time for us as we are starting to see what true collaboration looks like, and it also shows that you guys do carry a voice with us. The best part is that there is more to come...

Thanks,
-Chager

I think you guys ran Bombur out of ever posting here again. : (

This was posted 3 weeks ago, and it never crossed my mind to post it here, til I read closer and realized what they said about the PVP rules. Looks like a step in the right direction for me. Little more content, and this game can be home for quite some time. : )

Most anticipated MMO in MMOSite. Whatever that means nowadays, but it's always nice to see TERA still the radar.

[FriskUni]

I Dungeon finder system

I saw this, and I still don't get it...
dungeon finder system is the LFG system? correct?

if so, why bring that up now? that's been in game since like, forever

and yea it's slowly getting better, they REALLY need to fix some of the main bugs though, lately with all these new updates they're adding, they're complete with a shit ton of bugs, they fix some... but main ones, one's that are really really bad don't get fixed

right now if you use skills that don't stop run speed, while running (ie MP skills/run speed skills/cures) 80% chance you rubber band backwards, so basically you can run and spam skills and never make any ground coz you teleport backwards to the same spot each time
charge skills do the same thing if you're moving/charging, you randomly teleport backwards, sometimes twice to random positions in like a 10metre radius

[Foxer]

Read what it says. EME is still under the impression that KRs actually give a fuck what NAs cry about in their forums, and that we have any influence on how shit gets done in Korea. lol

[FriskUni]

I know for a long time EME have been acting like they run the show, but like I still don't get them bringing up the dungeon finder system

they were specifically talking about the last update and everything they listed in that was indeed from the last update, but the dungeon finder shit is the odd thing out, that's been in the game since the start of the year (or at least as long as I've been playing it has been) which is why I don't understand them listing it there

unless they're talking about cross server grouping, in which case it's still the odd thing out and isn't added yet

[Foxer]

TERA launched with the LFM feature.

They do mention 11/24 though. Maybe a cross-server or an more in-depth Dungeon Finder is in the works. Click on dungeon name, enter lobby, ETC, as opposed to the LFM feature out now which is basically the same shit. Maybe they're just full of shit tho? Who knows?

[FriskUni]

yea I guess it would be the cross server grouping they're adding then, also 1-58 is now about 9days lol...... at that rate NA gonna be lvl cap in a week

[Rulke]

That's really disappointing. Maybe I am used to the level bar of ffxi, but I would like reaching max level to take a few months. Have it seem like a real achievement.

[Cian]

Thank 15 year old Aion players for that one. OF is filled with them
