Ah okay, are we just waiting for it in a future build then? Thank you!

It's in the hands of TERA's Developer ( Bluehole ) now, but yeah, I'd expect in an up-coming update, the current item's properties will be changed to allow it to be able to be discarded.

In the short term, if there is a need for immediate removal, the route is a Support Ticket with Character Name(s) / Server(s), and the item you're needing removed.

For this, a bug report was already filed, to allow the item to just be discarded.

They should just remove federation bill and fashion coupon stores and revamp vanguard credit shops.

No need to be stressed over that much shops.

I really hope also that Emporioum shop would be a NPC in the game with stuff avaliable for everyone that have enought credits to spend for the item. I am sick to see how many times I get the same page of things that I dont even consider to spend my credits for and have to wait who knows how much days to see something that picks my interest. Wasting credits to refresh store items is also tricky so is a no no.

This is not off the table, just so everyone knows. Fed Bills are a NA only shop that has no real theme or reasoning to maintain. If the items from there became available in other places, and there was a "buy back" price for those fed bills to another currency that will be maintained, it is just as valid.

So the "why does everything else take SO long to change/update." fact will be treated as a question that I just gave you an answer to. The short of it: there are about a million moving pieces that we must be aware of, along with the thousand other things we are responsible for. So updating in game shops hadn't been done in a while, and I knew it needed to be done. I committed to carving out enough time per month to tackle one shop at a time. I apologize that I don't have more time to devote to it, but I feel like devoting ANY time to it is more than you've been promised before, so I'm already winning.

None of this really applies to the fashion coupon shop, does it? There's no economy or progression impact to worry about there. I know there is an update coming soonish, but I'm curious as to why existing assets and existing fashion coupon items (eg Nightforge weps) cannot be added quickly. It seems like a low/no-effort thing.

Again - "seems like" the operative phrase. It isn't as easy as you think. So my response still stands. I'm not trying to be snippy, but when we announce "Hey everyone we're finally going to do this" and we get met with "do it faster" it's hard to smile and nod. As I said, it will be done when the time comes, I understand your anxiousness but please don't claim to know how "easy" or "hard" something is based on nothing at all except your intuition.

To clarify, catalysts will stop dropping in game on Tuesday morning, but if you have an uneven balance you can still purchase what you need to do more pulls until 11/14 (at which time all catalysts will be removed from game and balances reset prior to the next potion shack.

the things you're able to change, should be changed.

I'll add my 2 EMP as well: changes to Elite like updating the mount are actually done via a tool that updates it immediately. Things like adding, revamping, updating a store takes a lot of things into consideration. Things like the economy of the currency, the items that are in there, the items that are being added, the pricing of said items and the impact it will have on where players obtain it currently, how it will affect broker prices, how it may affect the intended game design to drop those items, whether the items are usable by max level players, whether the items are usable by lvl <65 players, how it impacts the OTHER shops in game, whether it can be exploited, and so much more.

So the "why does everything else take SO long to change/update." fact will be treated as a question that I just gave you an answer to.

You'll no longer be able to get catalysts on Tuesday morning (11/7), but you can use any you have until 11/14.

Just for the sake of transparency, things often happen behind the scenes that are planned for weeks before any announcement is made.

There will of course be times where it more appropriate to make an announcement really early on, in order to get player feedback first.

The example you mentioned, was something that had already had a lot of planning that had gone into it from multiple departments, while the request to change items in the shops was something that we've been wanting to do for quite some time, but takes a lot more planning, as well as needing additional input from our player-base, regarding the priority of which shops need updating.

You'll have the date this week.

Alright, If you haven't already done so, can you please make a Support Ticket ?

If you have already made a Ticket in the last 6 hours, can you check to see if you've already received a reply, and update that Ticket, so that we can continue to investigate ?

Thanks!

Just wanted to mention that we are now aware of all of the players reporting the User Authentication Failed error message, and will begin looking into what had occurred.

Just to quickly check, the most recent Forum Posts seem to be implying that their issue seems to have resolved around 10 minutes ago.

Is this the case for everyone, or is there still a lingering issue for some ?

FF and TR are back up. Thanks for your patience!

*coughs*Simple Salts*coughs*

Just a reminder to all of our players that Daylight Savings Time ends this weekend and TERA will revert to Pacific Standard Time. Events that started at 10 a.m. PDT will start at 11 a.m. PST.

Please bear this in mind when scheduling your activities! Have a great weekend and don't forget to check out the EME Extra Life stream!

You should try logging all the way out, closing your launcher, and then logging back in. If your set up is still bugged out, please file a support ticket.

Today we'll show off the winners of the Halloween Screenshot Contest! There were a ton of excellent entries submitted in the official contest thread, and the decision was pretty tough, but the winners in each category are as follows:

• Scariest: Flayre (MT)
• Funniest: Sutcho (TR)
• Most Dramatic: Butts (TR)
• Cutest: Neko (CH)
• Most Halloweeny: Jesyka (MT)

The winners of each category will receive 3,000 EMP... BUT WAIT!

No runners-up? No honorable mentions?! We HAVE to have those! I'll be showing off some of the community favorites and handing out some extra prizes. If you haven't taken a look at the entries yet, give the thread a visit and click the "Like" button on the screenshots you think deserve a little somethin' somethin'.

In addition to showing off the spooky stuff, I'll reveal the Extra Life milestone rewards we have planned this year. THAT'S RIGHT... EXTRA LIFE 2017 IS GO! The more money we raise for children in need, the more all TERA players will benefit. The weekend of November 17-20 has been designated Extra Life rewards weekend. If we reach our $15,000 goal, expect to see a ton of in-game stuff happening those days (again, details will be shown during the stream).

The show is November 3 from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. PDT. See you there! https://go.twitch.tv/enmasseentertainment

UPDATE:

We have restored those items that were lost directly to player's Item Claims. In the case where you opened a loot box, won an item, and then it was lost, please contact Customer Support (http://support.enmasse.com/tera). They can verify your receipt of the item and issue a new one.

For those stuck in parties, this is a weird recurring bug that we do not have a reliable resolution for. We are working with the developers to try and sort it out.

More to follow, but be aware that a resolution may not be immediate.

Oh alright, please feel free to re-open your existing Ticket with out Support, and ask the current Agent to escalate your Ticket over to me. ( Ryan "GM Cobaltdragon" ) and I'll be happy to review it, ask some additional questions, and help you track down what Account has those character, and the current Email tied to that EME Account.

If you played through Steam sometime after June 11th 2015, then there is a very high likelihood that your Game Account is actually still tied to the European Servers, as explained in the News Post we had made here : ( http://tera.enmasse.com/news/posts/important-news-for-europe-and-russia )

You may want to try contacting Gameforge's Support here : ( http://support.tera-europe.com/ ) and provide them with any additional details you can remember, such as a Character's Name / Server Name, or any Invoice / Transaction ID's from a purchase.

Hey all,

We're investigating various issues following this morning's maintenance and subsequent server crashes:

- Player claims of data rollbacks (purchased or acquired items missing)
- Issues with players stuck in party

We'll post back with any progress/findings as we have them.

Thanks for your patience and understanding while we work to sort this out.

All the servers came back at the same time, so I guess the others are correct as that was inaccurately posted. Eme did stated it was a miscommunication...

The other 3 Servers being migrated just happened to have the work finish early, around the same time the maintenance was completed, so that was just coincidental.

While not a huge update, I did want to let you all know a couple things that are deploying today:

1. We have added 60 TERA Reward Points to the non-repeatable version of Thaumetal Refinery
2. We have added 60 TERA Reward Points to the non-repeatable version of RK-9 Kennel
3. We have added 90 TERA Reward Points to the non-repeatable version of Thaumetal Refinery (Hard Mode)
4. Elite Status players will now have an always-on Continuous Crystalbind effect
5. We have removed the Complete Crystalbinds from the Elite Gift Box since the effect is now on all the time

Also, it's a known issue that the visual effect of the Crystalbind bubble is now on all the time for players with this buff. This visual effect will be removed in v62, deploying later this month.

Sorry for the late post, folks (I was actually out of cell service range all day yesterday and last night); the issue was caused by a sync issue between the databases from the game and from the store.

If you don't see either the items or the EMP, please file a support ticket and CS can handle those on a case by case basis.

I have to say that the kyra flash window/tera store was down for longer than 3 hours. It was more like 8 or 9 hours, not coming back until PM EST. There are also a number of people that have not received their items, despite EMP being deducted from their account.

Could you please consider extending the end date for this sale? This would help the people who are having issues, and it would allow people who couldn't play after Saturday because of RL reason the chance to purchase mounts as well.

Thank you.

Sorry about all of the technical issues this weekend. I'll extend the sale to run through 10 a.m. PDT on Halloween.

How is that going to help people who spent money on mounts, but never got the mounts, and never got refunded? I can't afford to pour another 20.00 into the game hoping to get lucky.

I know there were issues with our purchase systems this weekend. The platform team is working on that right now. Players who made purchases will get the items they wanted. I'm sorry you were affected by the issue, but we will get this resolved.

If you do it on a PvE server, it's supremely uncool and will be punished. It's not like the group that tagged the critter can defend their kill.

Tuesday 10/24 - Maintenance will run from 6 a.m. to 11 a.m. PDT. AV and MT will be migrated. All TERA servers will be unavailable.

Thursday 10/26 - Maintenance will run from 6 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. PDT. All TERA servers and websites will be unavailable. The TERA forums WILL be available.

Thursday 11/02 - Maintenance will run from 6 a.m. to 11 a.m. PDT. FF, CH, and TR wil be down for migration. AV and MT will be available.

Whenever EME or BHS removes RNG per player request, they make the guaranteed cost way higher than the RNG average. There is no Winning with them. You may get away from the dreaded randomness and uncertainty, but you pay much higher for guaranteed success than you would on average with RNG.

Just pick your [filtered] poison. The MMO games like TERA are made by the screw up and corrupted country where people only know how to squeeze as much out of others as possible. We just need to lower our expectation rather than hoping they will meet our expectation.

I just have to weigh in and say this: you are absolutely 100% INCORRECT about your assessment of how items are priced. I can tell you as someone privy to the ACTUAL information about the RNG rates and all the prices that you have no idea what you're talking about. Your statement is only based on opinion and conjecture.

Why not just update all three at once. @seandynamite

Because we don't have the time or resources to do them all at once. So I am prioritizing them and getting them done one at a time.

Also, you should understand that NONE of these are a small undertaking. There is a lot to take into consideration when it comes to pricing, items, and long term viability of the shop. I know it might seem like it's just "throw everything in there and put some prices on it" and I wish it were that easy. But it's not.

What's your proposed ETA for one shop?

I assume your question is when do we want to release whichever we do first? I don't know. It all depends on which one ends up being prioritized first. But again as my original post stated, I'm shooting to try to get one per month or one per build done. My hope would be to get the first out in November if we can. We will be slating them in order via the Roadmap page once I have an order nailed down for the first three. Once I have those, I'll post a poll for the next three and slot those in.

Spacecats isn't ignoring you. He's at Twitchcon this week, so probably won't respond right away.

Don't take it personally.

One of the things I have been wanting to tackle for some time is updating the in-game shops in TERA. As you all know, there's MANY of them. From "token shops" to reward points shops to credit shops, it's pretty overwhelming when looking at it from a high level view. However I have asked that we tackle them, one shop at a time, and perhaps even retire some old shops if possible (and combine items into other shops). We have some preliminary polls from smaller groups of players, and honestly they all fall pretty much exactly in line, but to kick this off with a wider audience, I'd like to ask:

Which of these three in-game shops (the top three from our smaller samplings) should we start with?

Keep in mind, I am not saying we will only do one shop, I'm hoping to get an informed priority order from the community to help organize them. These three were the consistent top three, so they seem like a great place to start. The process of updating a shop will probably fall in a month to month (or build to build) update schedule, and I will add them to the roadmap as we lay this all out.

So let's hear what you think! I'll leave this up for about a week or two, just to make sure everyone gets a chance to weigh in.

Sweet Dreams Hat is in! FAQ is being updated as we speak.

We're looking at/processing the other feedback. While it's difficult to adjust the potion shack rewards on the fly, we are exploring the inclusion of additional dungeons in the event and considering some of the items suggested in this thread as rewards via other means in the near-term future (calendar rewards, etc.)

Kyra’s Pop-Up Potion Shack is back and open for business!

From Thursday, October 19 at 10 a.m. PDT, until Tuesday, November 7, you can once again earn catalysts throughout TERA, then cash them in for spooky Halloween prizes! The Potion Shack will stay open until 10 a.m. PST on November 14, but use your catalysts before then!

How Do You Get Catalysts

Elite players will get five catalysts the first time they log in during the event.

Starting at level 25, you automatically gain boxes of catalysts every 5 levels. These boxes can only be opened by characters of the appropriate level, so open them as soon as you get them. Reapers only get catalysts at level 60 and 65.

Victories in highlighted battlegrounds earns a Potionmaster’s Catalyst Box. See the updated battleground calendar for the battleground of the day!

They were. We're working furiously to get all the Halloween stuff out tomorrow. The reward points will be added during a future maintenance.

Halloween and Kyra's are bothing coming this week.

I wish we could channel the energy of players out there and use it to make the development cycle of the game faster. Unfortunately that's not how it works. A lot of people have been super ready for TERA console to come out, and the developers at Bluehole have been full throttle when it comes to porting the game over, refining the UI, and addressing bugs/glitches. It turns out they need more time to make TERA console 100%, and we're not willing to put out a sub-par game, an untested build, or any kind of 1/2 TERA experience that people won't enjoy just for the sake of saying the game is out.

While I'm saying this as an EME staff member, even for me it's hard to imagine how the developers feel in Korea. This project has been their life for months and months now and yet they still remain committed. They more than anyone - TERA fans, me, ANYBODY - are driven to see TERA console released in the best state possible.

Cmon, start already! The queue reached the Allemantheia outskirts and risks to burst out

That was an impressive line! Thanks for being so organized, Celestial Hills. You guys helped make an awesome stream. I hope you had fun hanging out

Popo Leesa the Fashion Policia here! IT'S TIME FOR A SPOOKY FRIDAY THE 13th FASHION MAKEOVER!

I'll be visiting Celestial Hills, capitol server for all things good-looking. We will meet in Alamantheia, home of TERA's most fashionable people. There, I will ask that you line up at the place you see me standing above. Wear your spookiest and most fashionable garb. I shall INSPECT, I shall JUDGE your spooky fashion... and then, folks, we'll give you a spectacular make-over that will curl your toes and raise spirits from the grave!

Tune in from 3 to 4 p.m. PDT, Friday the 13th, and get ready for a special raffle for everybody participating in the Twitch chat! https://go.twitch.tv/enmasseentertainment

We're talking with Bluehole on the reasoning behind these tokens in Korea, whether this is intended as a temporary event or not, because the fact is that they could have included these bonus rewards as a part of our update, but them not being there tells us we want to get more information first.

Only three days into the new gear progression system, the TERA team feels like in many ways this is a fresh start to set rewards in a way that makes sense for enchanting going forward. It's no secret that NA has always been, by far, the region that dishes out the most enchanting materials to players. Whether or not that attitude has always improved the game (we think it has in a lot of ways), it no doubt has come with some consequences when it comes to the stability of the economy.

TL;DR - We're going to chill out before acting with bonus rewards until the new gear progression has been around for a bit, and talk with the devs in the meantime. There's obviously stuff to learn from both KR's implementation of the revamp and the feedback from our own players.

The jackpots were stopped because the rewards were balanced out for the old gear system. Now that the new materials are out there and people are dismantling and enchanting their new stuff, the TERA crew is going to wait before just blindly continuing the old system with updated rewards.

Customer support has a handy little guide here.

Would it be 6 accounts per IP ? And would there be a way for support to manually reset it?

You should be able to access any of these Accounts after a 24 hour period has gone by, and as long as you remain under the 6 Accounts Accessed per 24 hour time frame, you should no longer see this error going forward.

Unfortunately, if it is currently blocking access to a particular Account, there is nothing our Support Team can do to resolve it until the time frame has past.

One guy on this forums says: beta on December of 2017,release January of 2018. Is there any proof of that??? Where is the source???? Please any info should be wonderful cus i'm waiting to the game on console since the announcement. Thanks.

During PAX West, the message I was sending demo participants home with was:

- Beta before the end of the year
- Full release early 2018

This is still the plan, but it is subject to change. Console development is hard, as it turns out. Myself and the Marketing/Community teams met earlier this week and we worked on a rough communications plan for the next 4-8 weeks, so you can expect to receive some updates regarding the project in that time frame.

Confirmed. Details coming next week.

The change to the new gear progression necessitated we go back and update all our loot box products. We viewed this as an opportunity to standardize the contents of these boxes and our hope is the enchanting materials contained within them will provide similar, if not increased, utility over the old boxes. I can also confirm, as some have already alluded to, that this transition did not negatively impact the chance to earn the jackpot item from any one loot box. We simply replaced those items that were no longer relevant to include and left the jackpot product untouched. We felt this was only fair to existing owners of these boxes (players that might have existing loot boxes in their inventory or Item Claim).

I'll look into this with the TERA crew and see if we can get an answer tomorrow.

Sorry but the ticket system is already equipped to handle your case as quickly as possible. Please don't create forum threads about support tickets you're waiting to hear back on.

Hey guys, as far as we're aware there's a discrepancy between the conversion rates in the original chart (which we got from Bluehole and passed on to EM to use in their guide) and the actual dismantling results for Talismans, Badges, and Banners. Nothing has changed about these rates between this morning's brief uptime and now.

Check out this comment by Denommenator.

Those three items turn into Metamorphic Emblems instead of Etropic. The numbers are higher, but stuff also costs more in the Metamorphic shop. If you have info about possible abuse of the shops please post it here. As far as we know these are working as Bluehole intended.

I personally appreciate the time taken to make my experience more enjoyable. Just saying...

they took down the server because an item sold for 10k gold instead of 1k gold, and dragon scales not being in some vanguards.

We'll sort out vanguard request rewards later, they don't require a server restart.

Servers are now live. Our sincere apologies for the wait.

Quick update - three items appear to have been changed by the developers. We're getting the correct info to the EM crew now so the guide can be updated. Basically Talismans of Lakan, Badges of Loyalty, and Lakan's Banners actually dismantle into Metamorphic Emblems, NOT Entropic. The rates are significantly higher as well (but mind you things also tend to have higher prices in the metamorphic shop vs the entropic shop).

@Denommenator will there be a small roll back seeing as people got loads of tokens from the convert error?

Here's what we found as it relates to the dismantling rates of the following items: Talisman of Lakan, Badge of Loyalty, and Lakan's Banner.

It was communicated that these items would dismantle to 400, 240, and 80 Entropic Emblems, respectively. In fact, this is not true and appears to be a mistake in our build notes. Instead, they convert to 4,800, 2,880, and 960 Metaphoric Emblems. This appears to be the intended design based on our analysis of the game files and the (incorrect) documentation we received.

Yes! Once the dust settles from getting Arsenal out the door, I am personally going to take a look at tackling a few things, including updating Elite Status and what you get for it.

Thanks for bringing it up, and I'd love to hear other ideas of things y'all think would make Elite more valuable to you.

The Arsenal patch notes are live!

Yes it's a pre-patch for tomorrow's update. It's a big one so starting now will save some time once the update goes live.
