Hey Guys,
Anytime you can reduce the size of a downloadable client you increase the success rate for people downloading and getting into the game, which is a great thing for everyone. If you look at our forums you will see that download and install issues are very prevalent and one of the big causes is the size of the client.
We started with what we thought was the most visual reduction we could do to lower the total client size without significantly reducing the visual quality of the game. It still looks really damn good - better than any other MMO, but we decided we wanted to do better at he sacrifice of a bigger client. This type of test would be impossible to do later once we patched the files out in the first place so we seized the opportunity to do it from the start.
Now back to the update. We are too close to Friday to patch this out without hindering most of you guys. We will patch these in once this weekends event is over.
Yeah for those that currently don't have access and want to wait for the physical Collector's Edition or some other reason, signing up with IGN Prime might be the best way to go right now. Unless there is some last minute update/tweet today. 1. Sign up 2. Get code 3. Use code 4. Cancel right away 5. Keep 7 days of IGN Prime
This will only let you in for closed beta test #1 but at least it gets you in this weekend and have the game downloaded. Oh and according to Scapes only Best Buy, Amazon, and GameStop will grant access to our beta tests. Chager also wrote "IGN Prime folks will get a code for CBT1. After that you'll need to either get a code from the next CBT's partner site OR pre-order which will get you into all of the CBTs."
So it seems there are going to be future partners, possibly a different partner per beta phase. And finally from Twitter "The high-resolution patch is a no-go for this particular closed beta test but will be implemented for the next one." It will be an additional 7 GB download (Knoxxer wrote on the FAQ). Similar to what Rulke posted!
In about 20 minutes.
Hello, TERA fans!
Our office in Seattle is filled with excitement and energy as we prepare for TERA’s very first closed beta test this weekend! To make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible, we are hosting a “dress rehearsal” test tonight. During this pre-test, players will be able to log in using the TERA beta client and help us with testing our server stability.
The dress rehearsal test will begin tonight, February 8, between 5:00PM and 8:00PM PST.
If you aren’t able to participate tonight, there is no need to worry! TERA’s first closed beta test officially kicks off this Friday, February 10, at 12:00 PM PST.
We’ve addressed questions you may have about this pre-test below:
Q: Why are you doing a “dress rehearsal test”?
A: The dress rehearsal test is to check all of the hardware and systems to run the closed beta test as smoothly as possible. Conducting this test will help our first closed beta test on February 10th.
Q: Can I help? How do I participate?
A: If you are able to log into TERA during the dress rehearsal test hours tonight, you could help us for the big weekend.
Q: I can’t participate tonight because I have work/need to sleep/don’t have time/don’t have TERA ready to play/don’t have the key, etc.
A: No worries! This is just a pre-test to help us prepare for this weekend’s first closed beta test which starts in just two days on February 10.
Q: When does the first closed beta test start? What hours will it be available?
A: Our first closed beta test starts at 12:00 PM PST this Friday, February 10, and ends at 11:59 PM PST on Sunday, February 12. We have a total of five closed beta tests scheduled, be sure to review TERA’s beta test schedule for details: http://tera.enmasse.com/news/posts/beta-test-schedule
We’re looking forward to seeing all of you in TERA tonight and this weekend!

working till 8 pst, won't be home till almost 9. poo ~
Same boat, won't be home until it's over.
Can you do a free prime trial on a second account with the same credit card? Want to get my GF access too but not sure if I can
Finaly the US ball starts rolling!
Enjoy.
I admit I haven't really read up on much of the game, but been keeping tabs somewhat. Is there a lot of content? Like dungeons otw to level cap and dungeons/raids/bosses at level cap? After getting Aion at launch with my friends, we got burnt out around mid 40s and then at 50 when we didn't have much to do and the updates came sooo slowly. Anyways, guess I'm a little concerned that might happen with TERA, unless someone can prove me wrong (please do)?
I AM SO IN THIS RIGHT NOW! WOOOOOOOO!
btw for those of you who want to mess around with the char creator, this is a good time to do it.
.. Unless you already know what you are making and have all your slider info written down >.>;
edit: wow, the char sounds are same as Korea??! awesome!
Am I the only one in on these forums?! Anyway, using this time to figure out my controller setup etc. so in and out.
Waited too long to get my IGN key downloading now but too many people are playing and making this take longer, not that I blame them or anything
Um...what? People are playing this already?
Stress test event before CBT1 on friday to make sure it goes smoothly
Fuck.

Been bouncing between 5 and 10 minutes left on my patcher for about 20 minutes now... @.@;
