    Gj guys,what's next?Changing your company name and do same things over and over like u did in before? Frogster to Gameforge LOL.

    And sadly that will work. The average player doesn't "Investigate" on which company is running / publishing a game he jumps in, so no matter how tarnish in the community the name "Gameforge" may become, all it takes is a swift "Rebranding" and voilà.


    After all, they have an easy life.


    Image being the sole publisher of a game in Europe, it's like you're the only one selling bread in town, why would you give a damn about customer service when they have no choice but go to you to buy bread?


    The cycle will only repeat over and over.

    A game starts out good -> A game becomes popular -> Company that publish it wants to extract more and more money out of it -> The game becomes more and more cash shop dependent -> The game becomes terrible -> The game dies -> Company shuts it down -> Company buys the exclusive publishing rights of the next good + popular game -> Rinse and repeat


    Companies are like viruses, they attach to an healthy organism (a game) and they dry it's blood until it's dead, then they move to the next healthy organism and the circle repeats.

    Made no difference. I have the same problem, closing it from the taskbar made absolutely no difference it still comes up with Verifying.

    Probably a part of the reason why i gave up on logging in.

    Try let it finish verifying then, and it's supposed to download 50 GB + worth of patch today anyway...

    so i don't really know how old that video you've seen actually is :elin18:


    Probably this one? 4 years old.


    And I don't remember 4 years ago levelling being a chore at all, I think he is just as lazy as his name says :elin12:


    Slightly off topic but I've seen recently another "It's worth playing" type video regarding Tera from another YouTuber, which made a lot of (weird) considerations but here's the catch: has seen in the video footage he used (and as he said too) he didn't even reached lv.70, yet he made an "impressions" video about it (legit yes, but very lackluster,also yes).


    Edit:

    This one:


    252k Subscribers youtube channel but too lazy to even get to max level - 16 and I mean SIXTEEN minutes of video talking about lv.1-65, kinda embarrassing if you ask me.


    The same youtuber also made a comment on yet another youtuber's video

    saying that Tera isn't worth in 2020, which is a fair opinion if you ask me, but again coming from the guy not have bothered even getting to lv.70 isn't really a meaningful opinion.

    Isn't Kalligar already a dungeon boss in Drakoon-something Arena? and he doesn't even die there story-wise.


    The fact that Kalligar and Lumikan didn't die suggests that they are likely to be dungeon bosses, if not already. Is that the case.

    Isn't Kalligar already a dungeon boss in Drakoon-something Arena? and he doesn't even die there story-wise.


    I expect at some point a dungeon with both of those bosses whenever the devs will decide to conclude the Exodor chapter, tho seeing the last dungeons that came out of these devs(which kinda sucks design wise IMHO), I wouldn't be too excited for that.

    Don't close the game launcher like this

    VkJTf5c.png


    It will only minimize to tray.


    Close it like this instead:

    Stop staring at my tray icons ~


    If "Repair" still appear, let it check all your current installed files, shouldn't take too long. If/when it starts the download close the launcher again as above and open it again, this time it should have the "Play" button instead.


    Edit:

    I just had the same "problem" today, when I opened the launcher I got the usual "Repair" button BS, all I did was close down the launcher and start it again and I got it working right away without even having to verify the files.

    Bah..it's a fact that the game is elin-centric and aims to release as much cute/sexual content as possible when it comes to costumes...which totally doesn't fit a combat game where you need to defeat huge monsters...just look, almost all the winning loading screens feature elins as the main/only character, and that's just a reflection of what the game is being pushed towards (has been for years tbh)...the obnoxious dominance of little loli characters with barbie dresses or lingerie..might as well rename it Winx Online.

    I could even bear having this type of content, if it was balanced by more serious and combat-ready attires and looks, and more additions for male characters when it comes to post-reaper classes (gunner, ninja, valk).

    It is very common nowdays that "combat games"

    release costumes that have nothing to do with combat. It has been like this for years on most games I don't get why people still sound surprised in 2020.


    I'm not saying this is good or bad (I'd like having all kind of costumes not just the cute ones), I am just saying things are the way they are...

    I got quite annoyed by another thread that has appeared in the forum yesterday(which was closed), I feel like the thread opener is "plain wrong", especially when he literally said that these fan arts are literally "child pornography".


    What determine an image to be considered "sexual"?


    Personally, and correct me if I am missing something, there are only a few traits to look at:


    - Dress(or lack thereof)

    Is the subject wearing something questionable? revealing? is it missing any clothing parts?


    - View Angle

    Is the image portrayed in such a viewing angle to give emphasis to certain parts of the subject's body? like for example, is the image a straight up view of a character's under skirt?


    - Pose and expression

    Is the subject presented in a way to suggest any sexual feelings? is it placing his limbs in a way to highlight certain parts of it's body? is it's pose trying to focus the viewer attention on certain body parts?


    - Actions

    Is the subject doing something considered sexual? like XXX or YYY ? is another character in the scene touching the subject inappropriately?


    - Setting and Items

    Is there anything around the subject that's suggesting something kinky going on? any items that look "inappropriate" ?


    \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\


    With this in mind, let's see and judge if any of the loading screens meet any of the criteria I just mentioned:


    UCWRcFU.jpg

    Dress:Nope

    View:Nope

    Pose:Nope

    Action:Nope

    Setting:Nope


    zoEAFh5.jpg

    Dress:Nope

    View:Nope

    Pose:Nope

    Action:Nope

    Setting:Nope


    yUEV2xQ.jpg

    Dress:Maybeee you can consider that top a bit revealing but it's nothing you don't see normally in the "real world"

    View:Nope

    Pose:Nope

    Action:Nope

    Setting:Nope


    41yVElr.jpg

    Dress:Nope

    View:Nope

    Pose:Nope

    Action:Nope

    Setting:Nope


    jkhUP93.jpg

    Dress:Nope

    View:Maybe some angles may be considered suggesting, but this wallpaper isn't really focused on any character specifically, and with this many characters on screen it's not unusual that one or two may be in a view angle that, if focused(a.k.a. if you literally ignore everything else), may hint to a slightly sensual theme

    Pose:Nope

    Action:Nope

    Setting:Nope


    WZkOFSG.jpg

    eh


    iLmMbN0.jpg

    Dress:Nope

    View:That may be considered to be an "inspiring" view, too bad I am not talking about the elin but the castanic so nobody cares.

    Pose:As above

    Action:Nope

    Setting:Nope


    wtyUf3I.jpg

    Dress:That looks like the Maritime Sukumitzu (not sure abut the spelling here), an in-game costume that consist in an one-piece blue swimsuit with a wet-looking semi-transparent sailor-like shirt on top of it. A wet and semi transparent shirt would normally be an erotic detail if wasn't that below the shirt there's a non-transparent swimsuit so...dunno about you but for me it's pretty meaningless in this instance.

    View:

    A frontal view mostly highlighting the subject's face,while all the rest is behind; a leg is even slightly out of focus, I don't see anything there.

    Pose:

    Looks like the normal pose of someone reading a book on a...grassy beach? well either way, the pose doesn't suggest anything to me.

    Action:Reading a book may be erotic to some people nobody.

    Setting:I like the watermelon slices ~


    l0iTfzt.jpg

    Dress:

    This looks like a 2013 swimsuit for elin that includes a rubber duck ring. The bikini isn't particularly slim in any part and in this image there's no "thinning" of it so it looks like a regular, real-world like bikini.

    View:Nope

    Pose:

    The blushing may be interpreted in a certain way, but there are other reasons why someone may be blushing, so, it's questionable at best. The head slightly resting on hand doesn't necessarily mean anything, it's a pretty neutral pose.

    Action:Nope

    Setting:Nope


    Rating of this image by the "Experts" of popular anime image boards that includes explicit loli anime pics:

    Danbooru (can't post the link due to the nature of the site):

    Xdfumb1.jpg

    Gelbooru(even if the uploader is Danbooru the mods of Gelbooru can freely asset the rating):

    t4Ce6Z9.png


    So yeah, it considered "Safe" even by the expert(the other 2 ratings are "Questionable" and "Explicit")


    qVDri5y.jpg

    Dress:

    This swimsuit looks like the "White Stockings Mallot" from Tera, it doesn't have a seductive design by any capacity tho I always wondered what the heck of a swimsuit includes stockings. This particular costume is even "safer" than the previous bikini as it doesn't really expose any parts "X" parts of the body, in real world scenario nobody will bat an eye if you were to wear such costume(in a beach obviously).

    View:Nope

    Pose:

    The pose and the blushing may slightly suggest a romantic vibe within the picture. But If I were to classify this in that spectrum I'd put it in an "very weak" category.

    Action:

    The "V" sign usually stands for "Victory" or "Peace" and it's intended to be a generic positive sign with no particular connotations outside that.

    Setting:Nope


    Now, if someone still see anything sexual in this image, he can contact me and I'll kindly share with him some links to actual hentai sites where the "actual" hentai / pornographic stuff is, because if you think this is anywhere near "child pornography" as the user in the other thread said, I think you've lived in a basement or something, have you ever went to a beach? have you seen even what preteen people wear ?


    TL; DR

    If you see anything sexual or inappropriate in these screens I fear you're just projecting your own insecurities, go look at what the real "loli hentai" looks like kk thx bai.

    2: mightaswell go the valk route and give OHS a garanteed reset mechanic in other relevant skills

    This should apply to every skill with random % chance of cooldown reset. It's so stupid that a player's DPS is reliant on a pure random factor (and I know crits are RNG too but at least you can influence those with higher crit factor).

    Problem Description:

    2 times in the last 2 days UI position & chat settings just resets itself.


    Expected Solution:

    None.


    Edit:

    Not really a solution but I guess I'll be backing up the "S1Option.ini" file located on Tera\Client\S1Game\Config\ so I can restore my settings in case the game messes it up.

    Hello everyone, we would like to apologize for all the issues that Mystel had during the weekend. Our team is investigating the problem, once we have more information on the topic, we will let you know. :(

    -The character issue (doomzoned) should have been fixed already last night after the server was restarted again-


    All related topics were merged.

    So can we have extra days of double loot then?
