LOWER POPULATION NOWADAYS??

    This has probably already been discussed several times, but am I the only one who perceives the current population to be way lower than it was four, five years ago? When I started playing Tera in 2014-2015, I felt like there were way more new players queueing for beginner dungeons like Bastion Loks. Of course, the game has more or less radically changed since then, since there is no need for group members really in lower dungeons anymore.appvalley tutuapp tweakbox


    My guess would be Bluehole/Krafton adapting the system to be soloable (until Endgame) due to a sinking player base and therefore nerfing everything related to questing like dungeons and BAMs in order to focus on the "core playerbase" that wants demanding Endgame content.

    well speaking for myself there is nothing to do anymore.

    the only thing you can do to progress is the dungeon routine ( boooooring) or visit the shop.

    outside that nothing is really worth doing anymore. you could make gold from them once at least but thats reduced to almost zero.

    so basically im supposed to do those routines in order to do those routines slightly easier in the end? lolol

    nevermind if i want to do routines i'll just stay at work.

    maybe its just sentiment ( 8 years in tera) speaking idk.

    maybe ive played games long enough to recognize that point where excitement of experiencing new stuff and having fun makes way for realizing progress will not happen any further unless you grind for years or visit the shop. ( almost any game is like that).

    either way i dont play much anymore. last thing i did for amusement and a little gold ( enough for one fail at enchant) was doing vanguards on the classes i enjoyed most.

    but they chose to reduce that gold-jackpot feature to ONE per account, which i can finish in under an hour or less. so now....

    im on the forum more than in the game. hoping for signs of better times i guess...

    Can barely do any dungeons through lfg. Always need to lfg as tank with healer friend. There's no point to find people to do harder dungeons when they keep leaving after some time. And when I do tank it's usually trap so I feel no wish to play anymore.

    IIRC nowadays, PvE dungeons are the only type of content to do at endgame (yes, I am disregarding PvP since it's mostly dead. dO yUO gUyS nOT hAVe TBA?!!?) , but theres a few problems that I see getting worse that turns people off even more:


    Dungeon Entry Limit

    This has been a significant issue for many years, only now it's worse because apparently theres Currency/Point system or w/e to enter dungeons now that takes a Week to reset or just to buy off from the cashshop. as far as i remember people HATE this. IDK if this is changed or not, but basically doing 1 to 4 ish dungeons a week with mixed success/fail chance depending on the party you join, can REALLY turn people away. (this is also something that made me step away from this game, this dungeon limit system takes away the fun from the game).


    *Also: solo dungeons are a snorefest IMHO*


    honestly i'm not surprised by the lower pop anyways considering how long this game has been out but, mostly the design choices that continuously butcher any sort of fun for the player to have, and from what I can tell it's not getting better.

    I uninstalled a while back, standing in town looking at broker can't really be considered gameplay. I could spam fauw on alts but why bother, prices were slaughtered by exploits anyway so even if i get lucky gold from it will be worth way less. Then there are temp etchings, basically just a way to tie you to a game and it only gets worse the more alts you give full set of them.


    Theres not just fewer than 4-5 years ago, ever since exodor this game was bleeding playerbase.

    For me at least for PVE the biggest problem "was" the limited entries in the dungeon were it matters.


    If the dungeon is very hard you can barely do it with main like FAUWH many times you wait for hours or days for your static to be ready and online.

    This is not only super boring its also recipe for drama.


    But as i said "WAS" the biggest problem.


    Nowdays i cant even ask for more entries in FAUWH because the only ppl who ll benefit from that is the memepulse ppl.

    In mystel the situation with this is beyond disgusting . The loot in broker from FAUHM is from pvp players or ppl you never even heard before.


    Sorry i cant believe GAMEFORGE or KRAFTON cannot do anything about it.

    THey are using e script that exists for 2 years un-updated .

    <3KILLIAN RIP. 2018<3

    :) the answer is simple.Ask pver's.How they backstabbed pvp'ers suggestions/feedback on this forum since 2015.With their selfish behaviour and gameforge-krafton mind the game turned in to a ghost town.Thats why Enmasse give up TERA NA,Thats why ru publisher give up with tera.

    Now pvers are doing same dungeons voer and over and there are no one to sell and make profit.PVE is still nice tbh for STATİC parties.FOr a random guy,the game is absolute trash and complicated.All u need to grind and learn EP-Advenecement skills,cards,amplifiers,tons of materials for upgrade,doing daily limited dungeons everyday,then what?

    Showing your shiny +15 gear in highwatch?Doing more damage to bosses?

    There are full of cheaters,gameforge doesnt care even if u report them.
    Pvp'ers still sharing suggestions.Both companies are ignoring them.its not new,yes since 2015...
    Advertisement is low,they are not investing money for advertisement.

    Cash shop is full p2w.


    I can say more things but these are enough.There are CM's on forums.I just saw only 1 guy trying to do something.It was anemsalok.Rest of them doesnt care,or ignored by big bosses.

    You can make small search on forums.And see how selfish pvers were backstabbing pvpers topics everytime for more income.All they want was selling their materials to pvpers with high price,and they didnt want to see any material in ks/bg shops."PvP ShOulDNt bE RewARdEd xd" type of messages blabla.

    Latest pvpers just loggining this game for CU.They are also loggining daily for weekly buff.Its around 1min.

    Last time,was checking discord.I saw people are playing different games.When it comes to sunday,everybody is online.After CU,its turning ghost town.And u know what?In CU there are cheaters also.U cant see them but they can attack your tower LOL.They are invisible,untouchble.If u report them,gameforge says "we cant do anything with these profist,we need more".Just LOL,it means you have to open your phone camera,and find that cheater guy in real,record his pc and which software is he/she using,then they can ban him/her.

    Anyway,if u are thinking to send suggestions or feedback for growing population in tera,just dont.They will never listen.

    forget it, this was asked before and the answers remain the same just made worse thru neglect.


    TERa has gone full p2w assuming you weren't exploiting the hell out of it. People simply had enough of the abuse.

    This is one of the worst problems imho, you toss at least half of the playerbase away and not even bat an eye so ... (how dare you not move to TBA right???) who's next?

    Mate I was completely dumbfounded when I returned from the Hiatus I took from Tera in 2015, and coming back into what boils down to: Sit in front of the broker/bank and... wait for nothing?

    I was Staring at the screen for HOURS trying to get a Battleground going to no avail, maybe I managed to enter a few but I don't even remember now because I was burnt out from waiting I can't even recollect.


    I hate how the PvP part of the game and players got shafted badly it's not even funny. Half the game just went *POOF* and the other half is not even a half, PvE is just so mundane I just stopped entirely... Dungeons can only do so much especially with entry limits either by the game or by the parties you try to join.


    Anyways yeah, dark times..... TBA is not a solution or even a fix when it comes to PvP.

    Edited once, last by Zero Infinite: Paragraphing, Grammar , Typos ().

    Every new patch brings recycled old bosses, like the next one for example Darkan AGAIN!? and to do high end dung you must spend trillions of golds (OR DUPE ITEMS LOL) to have SUPER PERFECT stats like 4 amplifications in a single jewellery to pass the atrocious DPS CHECK! Yea not paying a peny for this trash anymore

    Recycled content is fine as long as it's not just that.
    For example i wasn't playing during Darkan times and i missed the HM and the challenge behind him. Having a chance to see him again is kinda welcome from my Pov. They just shouldn't use this reason to recycle too much content <.<

    TBA surely took a lot of resources so it was really unlikely that the next patch could have some original content,sadly <.<

    TBA didnt took any resources or money.TBA is just copy of TERA with moba style.Same skills,same characters,same world view.Just they created the area and coins.Bosses are also same ROFL.So there is no investment on it.It's just "ok pvpers shut up we did TBA".Thats all and its even worse then regular tera.And some "more ons" saying "they gave u pvp mode stop crying" blabla on this forum.I bet that guy doesnt even know what pvp means.

    Well it takes time even to assemble stuff with recycled assets. Don't know how big is the dev team working on Tera but i bet it's not that big because otherwise the game would be in a better state :S

    sadly, theres been too many changes for the share holders and not enough changes for the players so right now the games in a shit place for us actually trying to play and enjoy the game...

    the more i visit the forums, the more i realise gameforge cannot do anything but try there hardest to sell us anything they think we will buy while watching as the koreans change the game for the worse and drive players away

    They had a chance with the Gear-Rework with RK9/AAHM ... But they decided to f#ck it all up again ..

    no it isnt full p2w. you can absolutely max your gear for free.

    it just takes a few years longer.

    and do give up your day job.


    i never minded spending money on tera. i felt since i could play it for free they deserved it, just contributing to something i really enjoyed doing, cos nothing is really free right?

    but this has gotten ridiculous. no chance of upgrading without shop help ( broker/trading included) unless you no-life the recommended quests 24/7.

    im sorry but i play games for FUN. unfortunately having to play like this (daily routines/efficiency/fasterfasterfaster) makes it more of a second job than a fun thing to do.

    i think it went downhill from that patch that made every try fail cost at least 5k and upupup. the ones after made it worse and worse.

    and since now all activities outside "recommended" bring you nothing that upgrades you, not even gold, i dont really spend time in tera anymore.

    goodbye my love, it was fun. thanks for the good times. i'll drop by every once in a while.
