  • Update UE3 to UE4

    Dear Community.

    I want to show a Post from Forums of NA by one moderator. I think we must to do something about Shadow's and the old age of this game seems to be. (All games is remastering, why no Tera)

    Post from NA: https://forums.enmasse.com/ter…gine-3-to-unreal-engine-4

    It says:

    "Hello there, beautiful creatures from far and wide. I wanted to take this moment to get your voices on this. As you can see from the title, the proposition is rather simple - maybe not that simple from transitioning, but simple in the sense of what we as players should ask for. Before I begin, I ask that you take the moment to truly read through this all and not just glance over it. With your support, and hopefully with enough voices, Bluehole can make a major difference that could potentially make the game 100% better.



    We've all experienced that lag in Velika, Highwatch and Battlegrounds, to the point that most of us (without Playstation 4 Pros / Xbox One X) have bluescreened and have because of that experience caused issues like 15 Minute Debuffs (Dropout Status), and potentially losing runs - now, keep in mind that is just Dungeon related. We've crashed in major cities from all the particle effects, and quite frankly due to the fact that there are way too many players on at once time, in one area. Due to Unreal Engine 3's limitations (look at TERA PC, Bless Online and Blade and Soul) with even having 30-40 players on one screen just fighting causes extreme frame drops. This is not the fault of a server or necessarily always the fault of the player using a "bad graphics card". Even Unreal Engine 4 is not always 100% the best for MMORPGs, but since I believe that Bluehole will not create its own engine, this is the only choice.



    We are seeing more and more that MMORPGs are finally making the switch into Unreal Engine 4, in order to facilitate players when it comes to large scale battles (PC Players remember Nexus and Alliance) - meaning better frame rates overall. Though the engine itself won't 100% make it "better", with the engine and a strong netcode, TERA could become even better than it already is. How? This, in turn, would allow players to have better frame rates when in a location with 30-40 players all at once, using different abilities. Look at Fortnite, or for a more close to home feel, look at Paragon. Epic Games pushed the boundaries of Unreal Engine 4, perfecting it for this sort of MMO-esque system. In Fortnite we've seen 100 players fighting it out, attacking all at once, using multiple abilities, etc. It's smoother than ever thanks to the hard work at Epic. Ashes of Creation is pushing Unreal Engine 4 with its own Netcode and in the testing stages, it's been a clean play with 2,000+ players all in one server, and 500+ players in one location.



    To further assist this, look at Blade and Soul, it's a strong example as it is an MMORPG, Korean-based, originally in Unreal Engine 3 and created around the same time as TERA. Next year it will be going into Unreal Engine 4, for visual detail improvement and performance capabilities. (Source)



    TERA needs to step up in this regard. Even Bless Unleashed is going into Unreal Engine 4 for those same reasons, brought to consoles as a brand new MMORPG, completely separate from Bless Online. Even if it's rebranded as TERA 2, the time and money put into making the game even better, will generate more revenue. This isn't a guess, this is hard facts. Since 2013, PC players have been asking for optimization and improvements of TERA, and you are limited at what you can do with Unreal Engine 3, it's not your fault. However, moving it into Unreal Engine 4, a more stable, updated and stronger engine for this genre will bring an amazing experience both to the players and Bluehole Studios.



    We hope that you'll consider this, and listen to your playerbase. We love TERA, and we adore the gameplay, and of course, its action combat. However, the game can be even more so amazing, with better, stronger performance.



    Thanks for reading. If you support this, please let En Masse know in the comments below by stating that you support this petition of sorts."

    PD: We can try to go toguether with NA and reach to BHS!


    Thanks for your time.
