TERA Online - General Information and Discussion (May 1, 2012)

Delays, I can deal with.

But if they turn this into Aion: The Revenge, someone's dying. I have never before seen a company try so hard to assassinate its own creation with such vigor and I'm not sure I could handle it like a rational person.

[Cichy]

Amazon has it as April 30th release, dunno if that's right. With all those delays I almost forgot about the game tbh

Yar, thanks for updating the other thread too. I was wondering when EME was going to re-post info on them.

You folks are our grassroots community members and we definitely want you to be a part of TERA's next big step.

Thank god they are not forgetting the previous testers. That would have been the knife in my TERA coffin, and quite possibly the knife in EME's coffin.

[mallister]

awesome, been waiting and watching for long time now.

[Elcura]

Thanks for the heads up, seems like a good way to get an invite without being a butt licker. I'm excited to try this for the first time. Sometimes patience doesn't feel like a virtue.

For you Elin fans:

Yes, the final cloth armor designs for the elin will be in our closed beta test build.

For you Elin fans:

I anticipate a massive shitstorm when the Elin fans see the changes, but I guess we'll see. I'm sure there will be plenty of "dat" mods that will change the armor back to the original version, so it's probably a non issue for most people.

Yeah, the only reason you don't see a flood of it now is because it's actually annoying to get custom textures to work right, there's a few out there but they're hard to find the source of because I can't read Korean for shit.

[madpersian]

Thank you for the heads up. Hopefully I get in by the time I'm done with Skyrim.

[TSB]

You guys have any general guesstimates as to when the first CBT will begin? I'm guessing early to mid February.

[Cian]

I'm guessing no sooner than mid Feb and no later than end of March. Hoping for Feb, expecting March -_-
I don't kiss enough ass on OF to get in anyways!

[Foxer]

Winter 2013 CBT. Spring 2017 retail.

I hate being hopeful or optimistic with this stuff after the CPE date announcement garbage. Still, if EME does it with waves/weekends as is becoming more popular (Rift, SW:TOR) then I think we will see beta start late Feb at the earliest. I tend to agree with the feelings of Cian overall.

[Katlan]

don't see the need for, what seems like, an extensive beta for a game that is alrdy finished and just being translated / lightly changed. I mean I hope there are big changes for the Western audience since a direct port w/minimal changes didn't work for Aion and won't work for TERA. While ppl say its really a western game launched in Korea, there still needs to be more endgame than a few instances and world bosses w/a sprinkle of pvp (for those on non pvp servers)
