Who upgrade blue gear lol
He is just saying your RNG is crap, it worked for him and not for you. I upgraded blues, still have them, would of loved an event where they gave me RNG attempts to upgrade using scrolls from an easily cleared dungeon.
Yet another person complaining of RNG in an RNG based game.
Well now they change the server and now i play with 200ms xD good job i guess 
@Konatta98 said:
Ok white knight. Actually im tired to try speak "good" because never got a answere or something about the issue.
Okay sure, but telling the staff to go [filtered] themselves on this forum (or on Discord) isn't going to change anything. It just increases the chance you get banned, and then you lose the voice you have. Trust me, everyone is frustrated by this situation, and EME is extremely aware of how frustrated people are by the fact they didn't communicate more clearly about what's going on. You can be justifiably mad without crossing the line.
over 200 boxes no T

If you spend any time in Discord, you can see clearly this isn't true. It's been almost all criticism of EME and complaints about servers all week. People get banned for a) RMT, b) personal attacks against staff or other players, c) using really inappropriate/unacceptable language, or d) excessively spamming memes (typically despite multiple warnings). In the off chance anyone gets banned from Discord for a reason that's in any way borderline (they acted badly in the heat of the moment but don't have a pattern of it), they can send in a support ticket and the whole thing gets reviewed by the staff. Sometimes the staff will give people a second chance.
Most of the people who say they got banned for "giving their opinion" or "talking about something" usually actually get banned for being an [filtered].
Anyway, they did some maintenance tonight to try to apply further mitigation against the issue. It hasn't totally fixed everything, but the general word is that it's getting better. They'll continue to monitor for further issues. In the meantime they reset all entries again and are keeping the Coin cost at zero for all instances.

simple solution to a vast majority of lag and disconnect issues players are facing... REGION LOCK THE SERVER. Yes, I said it. lock it out for anyone trying top access from outside of the US., OR, a disclaimer stating that players outside of the region can and will experience increased lag and DC's. Simply put, this is a NA server, meaning NORTH AMERICAN. IF it is so hard to play on the server with a huge portion of the worlds population trying to play due to isolation and quarantine orders... go to EU, or K-Tera servers. There is only SO MUCH bandwidth available over internet trunk lines. the more people online WILL equate to higher ping times and eventual dc's.Are you srs bruh...?
Serious like covid. for the last 2 years its the basic complaint I have seen. Lag and disconnects due to high ping times. Region lock it, OR, add in a huge disclaimer for everyone outside of region to see. I know there is an EU server, and I KNOW K-Tera is still goin strong. IF I played on EU server from North America or even K-Tera I would expect to see high ping times, lag, frame drops, and disconnects. I would accept it and move on, not make a giant stink about it within their forums or in game. It's a game, whos foundation is built upon the backbone of the internet. A game with massive memory leaks and an economy that has gone to crap since the last 2 server merges. Stupid RNG on enchanting gear higher than HO and nearly impossible to find a group for endgame content, yet we still play. Some of us have been here since launch and we make less noise than new childish players or those comin over from regions outside NA. So... yeah, region lock it
region locking doesn't fix anything. it is too old for an 8 years old game. you don't know how the internet/networking works. just get over it & play another game. it will be fix.
I thought it was common sense not to enchant past +10 lmao. If you're really gonna invest improved feedstock into a piece of armor that costs 7k you had it coming
Inherently that is the nature of the game. Its not about these "elitist" people, its about the current population state of the game. If people are resorting to cross queue with friends that means that they couldnt fill their lfg in their own respective server or their friend moved servers cause the lack of population. Like Kaiator is extremely dead compared to Velika.
Your best chances to starting a CSNM party is as follows || Static/Friends > Guild Members > LFG > IMS
Usually no one does IMS unless its lower level dungeons or Cross queuing with a friend.
End game dungeons this patch is brutal for newer players that want to learn due to the insane amount of HP the boss has and high chance of wipe at lower HP. With newer parties that could take ~20 minutes per attempt and add in a few wipes you are already at over an hour for a clear and if your RNG is bad you can also end up with not getting much loot out of it either.
So, if you just finished exedor quest line at 70, what else do you need to do to get this quest?
Why the hell are you trying to IM csn? Make an lfg, not that difficult. I've been back since November and have only ever been turned down once by "elitists"
much appreciated was cookin dinner so missed it
Notice on the launcher states emergency maintenance at 8:30PM PDT. Expected downtime is 1hr.
looks like servers finally actually down
was there any ingame message posting a timeframe ?
cheers

Yeah, I think I've dced ~20 dungs over the last week, so who knows if those 10ish letters would have been a T, sad. Probably not, oh well.

Yes, not wasting Adventure Coins sure will make me complete the dungeons and get the T.
I'd probably have bought the T with 100 tokens by now if it wasn't for being repeatedly disconnected in the middle of the dungeons.
Servers Favorite place:
Oh I remember those days. Full servers. Tons of people. Yeah, EME dropped the ball.
Yeah, I've been dced 4 times tonight (April 3rd), so just going to quit and move to another game or maybe get an "actual life for a while" like MidokuPasta says.
EME discord? Be careful, they like to kick people out of there if they don't like what you have to say.
I cant play, Lag forever.
We all do realize that COVID-19 is the disease and that SARS-CoV-2 is the virus, right?
Hey @Denommenator April fool was 2 days ago. Stop trolling
The servers never could handle the load. Their staff does not understand how to scale an infrastructure. Or, they do, and their leadership that are the gatekeepers to the funding and decision making have been intentionally failing to allow their technical staff to perform.
Please guys, stop being mean to this company! Don't complain about the money you wasted on Elite being thrown into the garbage since you can't actually play the game for days already!
Yeah, that totally doesn't sound like a rotten spoiled child.
And no, this has nothing to do with COVID-19. TERA is the only multiplayer game I have installed that's having frequent lag and disconnection issues. I'm including other MMORPG games that received an influx of players too.
I do not know if you, @MatrixOfLeaders, work in IT. I do. NONE of my customers (corporations, companies, with big profits to lose) are having capacity problems. ALL of my customers are global and handle more transactions and traffic than this game is even capable of generating. THEY are not having any issues. Why? Simple: we scoped their hardware resources correct to account for such times. NOT doing so (and no, not predicting a virus like this, but, we ALL knew this was coming too) is pure stupidity, plain and simple.
EME refuses to keep their player base informed 100%. So, THEY do deserve this. Had THEY, instead, for all of these years, actually COMMUNICATED to their player base, I think people now would be far more understanding.
It is NOT unreasonable that people that pay EME money to expect their PURCHASED service(s) to work.
ISP's themselves are NOT throttling. In fact, the big ones are doing THE OPPOSITE: https://www.consumerreports.org/internet-providers/isps-respond-to-coronavirus-raise-speeds-suspend-data-caps-keep-america-connected-pledge/
Trying to make you more informed @MatrixOfLeaders ...
I have seen ZERO throttling or reduction on speed. I am fortunate to be on fiber with a normal average ping to EME servers of 27ms. It is simply not the last hop to their servers that is the issue. It is EME's servers that are the issue. Internet (formerly known as ARPANET - Advanced Research Projects Agency NETwork) was intentionally designed to be fault tolerant, scaleable and resilient. And indeed for a project started in the 1960's it most certainly is. I suggest you do some in-depth reading on IPv4, IPv6 and I can name a plethora of reading material for you that will take you years to consume if you would like. The Internet itself is handling traffic just fine, as it was designed to. You can thank the many geniuses whom invented it.
Fact is, as I write this: EME's servers are down. EME's server status page is slow and is inaccurate.
They wanted more players on the servers and now they have it with the covid 19 virus. Now the servers can't handle the load!?!?!?
@MultiverseOverlord said:
I don't think they even know the root cause of the issue is.Not being hostile, just pointing out the obvious that there is no real reason for this unless the servers are at over capacity. In which case, well, we all know they want invest.
No, sorry, I meant the guy above you, not you, I agree with you.
Funny how en masse wants more players but can't handle when more players jump on the server because of the covid 19 virus...
Covid, sure, whatever u say OP
Why que end game in the first place? Do learning runs, get good with the dungeon and lfg. Like everyone who takes end game seriously lmao. Stop being entitled to carry runs and your life will be better.
Big meme
Totally! That's why every other MMO and game is crashing every 5 minutes! Oh wait.....
Frustrating that the server status still show it's up and running when there's clearly a problem..
Nothing new, they're not really active at the forums.
Would need to comment at their discord.
Also having trouble with the servers again...Getting to the last boss and server dies..
I am not crashing at all while playing in blade and soul, so... it looks more like an enmasse thing
RIP EME
EME has a history of ignoring as much of their player base as possible.
x100
I'm sure most of us understand the current situation.
However...
Not like we had any such issues before the virus, correct?
how you want double drop when they can have a stable server with regular drop xD
I don't think they even know the root cause of the issue is.
Not being hostile, just pointing out the obvious that there is no real reason for this unless the servers are at over capacity. In which case, well, we all know they want invest.
double drop rate so when we do get a dungeon in it feels like we got something out of it before we crash again four more times.
THX FOR MORE WIPE COMPESATION, Eme i dont want more wipe compensation pls
Ok man, no need to be hostile on an online forum. I am just hoping that the people that are working (because many people are expected to work remotely throughout this, including my not-actual life self) would address the issue of the server instability. That was the purpose of the OP.
Wonderful compensation, servers still down.
How about running said compensation for at least 7 days after you EME figure out how to stabilize servers? Give me a call, 867-5309.
Current server issues, 100% unusable. Awesome EME.
If you all want to be understanding due to SARS-CoV-2, it's not going to come from me. EME has a history of ignoring as much of their player base as possible.
If we're gonna gamble, at least let us exclude one of the variables. I want a Superior Marie and/or Loo. After like a dozen partners all I got was an Uncommon Marie, some other Uncommon and Rare partners and a Superior Cocomin.
Having an item that lets us gamble with what partner we'll get instead of having to worry about its rarity too would be nice. Or let us combine a Superior partner with an Uncommon/Rare partner so both will get consumed, creating a Superior version of the Uncommon/Rare partner.
Being able to actually play the game without getting disconnected every single day would be nice too.
i made the mistake to return to the game.... this is unplayable...
Nope, not going to be understanding.
This is why, in IT, we ensure we do not have a single point of failure in terms of people resources. I reiterate as I have said before: all of this can be remotely managed, period.
i know that feel dude.
getting sick and tired of the constant game crashes and losing resources because of it
game crashing every 10 mins for me and after 3rd time i give up
Nice compensation the server are down again
I legit thought this was another one of those, "We deserve compensation! WAH!" posts - was rolling my eyes and sighing as I clicked the link. Also misread the username because I'm blind as a bat apparently...
Pleasantly surprised that it's not the case, and is instead the opposite. A nice change of pace, good on you EME.
i have mi bad times on AQ event whit +13 on all mi gear just for being and archer, fkg script cheater elitist
who do CSN for IM lmao is like AQ for IM xD is a very long run 40/50min with 75% of wipe chance.
For anyone who missed the tweet, EME has disabled the coin cost for all dungeons and has reset the entry limit.
Here's the link to the tweet:

It's called being Mature and knowing a Game is ran by people who could be affected by the Virus, and also knowing the Creators of said game don't need to cater to me when other thing's that should take top priority are happening. Here's an idea, go have an actual life for a while, it will do you wonders.
@MatrixOfLeaders said:
So the fact that certain ISP's are throttling bandwidth has ZERO affect on the DCing?
Correct.
The article you linked talks primarily about streaming services throttling stream bitrates, not ISP's throttling user bandwidth. It does briefly mention potential issues with last mile carriers, which is a valid concern since last mile circuits may not always hold up as well as core networks. However, that is more applicable to underdeveloped residential scenarios and the likelihood of this being an issue for a commercial data center facility is fairly slim - and that is where I imagine Tera's hardware resides.
The nature and variable timing of the mass disconnects (not to mention the stability of other, similar services) is a pretty clear indicator, at least to me, that they are not the result of increased traffic across the Internet.
For starters, the Internet doesn't work the way you think it does. Provider backbone networks have significant capacity and while usage has increased thanks to COVID, major circuits are not congested and are generally handling the increased traffic well.
Secondly, expecting a service (especially a paid service for the Elite folks) to be available or expecting a service provider to tell you why the service -isn't- available is not entitlement. It's reasonable.
Thirdly, have EME thought that maybe if they released an official announcement about what's actually going on instead of keeping their mouths shut day after day, that maybe people would stop [filtered] and speculating and might instead show a bit of understanding?
Shocker.

So here's a question:
Why is a game specifically designed to handle a massive player population buckling under itself upon receiving that massive player population? Given that some people only play TERA and maybe one other game (I personally know 2 of these people), did EME and especially BHS really not see this as a possibility given the current state of the world? If so, that's a hilarious lack of oversight considering, again, this game was built specifically to handle a massive player population.
If nothing else, a representative from either company should say this instead of a single, ultimately insignificant party getting mad at other people who are mad that they can't play their favorite game.
Uhhh always, but this is not a forum for the peace in the Middle East or the war in Syria, or the Corona virus...soooo, not sure what your purpose for posting that is...
Get over it. There are more important thing's happening in the world than the lag of some game.
Well, it's one of those things we can call "the nature of the beast." Pretty much the only thing people praise this game for anymore is it's combat system. This combat system is fairly punishing to players leaning new instances and the instances themselves have shifted to being longer and increasingly demanding as the instance progresses. This means, even for the experienced players, learning new dungeons can take time and involve long pulls that fail in the last 30%. That can be 10-20+ minutes followed by a wipe at the end.
Another thing to point out, when applying for an LFG group, is that players are most likely considering gear less when recruiting for instances. The current gear is easily farmed (if mind numbingly) or bought, so there is not much expression of skill simply by having "+x gear." As such, people default to if you have a "skilled" tag or not after the first few weeks. Really, that's been the bottom line for a long time. If you want an easy time finding parties, make sure to get your 10 runs in within the first few weeks. Otherwise most people will only see people looking for a carry. Which is fair in it's own right because those people put the effort in right away and spent the time wiping the dungeon to learn the mechs.
For people that start late into the patch, there are two ways to earn your "skilled" tag. Start a learning run lfg, which will take time but does work, or find some friends to carry you through. While it sucks to have to take the extra time to form a learning run, remember that you are asking the community to take the extra time to carry you when they already took the time to learn the dungeon.
I feel a better solution than adjusting loot systems to make current BiS mats obtainable in older content would be to incentivize players to take unskilled players to runs. It would have to be considerably better than the joke they have in place for CW and the like. Otherwise, why would people want to potentially spend 2-3 times more time completing a run if they do not have to?
As a last note, you will find people willing to take unskilled players, but usually they are not complete strangers. Yesterday my partner and I took three unskilled players to FA and got them their first clears, but we knew them enough to know they had studied the mechs ahead of time and would be willing to pull through wipes to get the clear in the end. In most cases, you just don't know that with random players. I have had people come, cause a few wipes, then just leave without a word. That is just one of those things that really dis-incentivizes people from taking random strangers to runs knowing it's probably a learning run.
@noctred said:
This has been the state of Tera for years - if you don't have a static, your access to relevant endgame is all but nonexistent. Regardless of whether you're decently geared and/or are a decent player, people aren't going to want to risk wasting their time or their runs by dealing with an unknown, or take the time to give random players an opportunity to learn.It's sad but the game has been on this road for a long time and probably won't ever get off of it. Tbh I assume it's only going to get worse with patch 92 as people will be even more disincentivized than they are now to facilitate unknowns and players trying to learn.
Pretty much this
Good afternoon there is a problem and it is that the Wordl event challenges do not appear the section is but there is nothing to do activity. let's hope for a quick fix.

The issue is its occurring to people within the US region maybe read a bit.
Pretty sure you noticed the event stuff not working SO ya.... Maybe that should be a SIGN OF something?
Most likely no.
Same issue happened to me I tried connecting to their game's server using a program and surprise got a high ping of 8000 which refused connection compared to other games I got which is 35 and even a simple speed test showed my ping was 8 to the nearest server hub SO I don't think its on my end at all. Even at this time still can't connect not even able to use the launcher now.
Edit: got a friend playing the game on steam he is playing it perfectly find at 38 ping. So WTF ?
lel gave 2 weeks of free elite and people can't even play the game most of the days. Events broken, stuff keeps bugging out, UI issues still occur I just don't even know anymore.
do you still have all the missions from new begining. ? you have to complete those first.
same stuff different year.
Ya I came back thinking by now after 1 year they should have fix this issue but lo behold hell no.
This is one of the main reasons I left this game in the first place looks like I might again, AND NO ENMASSE its not because of me. Crashes that randomly happen then can't for some reason connect to your severs after words screams to me to the back of my head WHY WHY DID YOU START PLAYING THIS AGAIN!
yeahh me too.. stuck with quest but can't abandon quest.. What should i do?

Your argument doesn’t make sense, region locking doesn't fix it. They just need to get a better hosting, routing, backbone.
