I can't go past the server selection screen right now, is it down again? It says 409 people online
>>746000567It said 409 when I got disconnected 5 minutes ago, so...
>>746000567Server is shitting itself because everyone is trying to login at once

>>746000534Look at this slut.
>>746004457>Log in servers are typically not connected to the game server.they literally are even the devs said so
where the fuck are all the elin gooners? did you guys lose your spark with age?
>>746005875they all moved on to gachaslopa
>>746005875There are plenty playing. The problem is right now a lot of people don't want to put up with the server bullshit so all they've done is take their name, jerk off to their elin then log off.
>>746005875they all moved on to real children
>>746005875i stopped trying given that they're vibecoding this private server and claude cannot unfuck korean tera networking limits from 2010
>log in>kill a couple monsters>DC>repeatI will say it's just like the good old days because every character I saw was a scantily-clad loli or an anime elf with huge tits, except for my human guy, a cool-looking elf sorcerer dude, and an anime dragon with huge tits. Truly the ideal fantasy world.
is this a lowkey Asanagi thread?
>>746007436>lowkeyEvery TERA/Elin thread is an Asanagi thread.
anybody else play these private servers on a separate rig in case these devs have a schizo moment
>censorschizo was rightnever trust europoors
>>746009186pathetic
>>746009186is it really censorship if the outfits exist uncensored but a costume version is the censored one? more like incompetence
>>746009186>interest gone
>>746009186It's censored? Why?
>>746009465discord troons complained of course
>>746009465Not really, the gear itself isn't, just fashion coupon version, likely they just didn't really think about it or care and assumed everyone would use cash shop costumes.
>>746009186>>746009586I might be retarded. But it looked like the character creator + the starting gear is censored. Couldn't exactly go much further before the servers shat themselves again. So which versions are uncensored then? Honestly wondering if I can just dig up my Menma decensor files, but I really don't have the energy to work this shit out a second time in like three years
>>746009586I don't get itWhat version is this gear now?Also, it clearly shows it's censored, no?
not sure i understand this censored thing i looked at the fashion store and it has hundreds of bikinis and other slutty shit in it
>>746009796Then i don't get the gear that hides the tummy, like in the pic
>>746009796When the game first released the usual moral grandstanding crowd who didn't even play the game raised a fuss about oversexualization so BHS said "okay fine we'll censor some of the leveling gear" and the autists fucked off because they felt their war had been won. No future outfits were censored and a ton of shit far more revealing than the leveling gear was put in the game untouched because the crusaders stopped caring about TERA the moment they got their win which is all they care about.Some private servers undo that change and some don't. There are also "costume" variations of leveling gear which were added because for some retarded reason BHS changed the "transmog" system to something objectively worse than what the game originally had but Asian developers are completely fucking retarded so don't attempt to understand the reasoning. The problem seen on this server is that there is inconsistency between how they handled the normal equipment and the costume version of that same equipment. More than likely it was just an oversight.
>>746009586>gear itself isn'tWeird, guess the no armor and this particular one are anomalies!
>>745999808They're anime children, so it's fine.Also TERA gameplay is better than any games released since the 2020s
I hope they can fix whatever is going on with the servers. Uninstalled for now but monitoring.
>>746009987whatever then, the shop costumes look so much better than the levelling gear
>>746010049I also like blade & souls gameplay a lot
>>746010184Blade and Soul actually didn't censor the Lyn unlike TERA..
>>746010184bns gameplay is okay, just way too ping reliant and macros are basically mandatory, it also still relies on the same old targeting system which TERA did away withyou will like aion 2
>>746009186>he doesn't have these still sitting on his computer
>>746010230They censored the postergirl the moment a burger complained.
Does this run on Linux?
>>746010230>>746010369And they also censored/rewrote both story and quests.
>>746010383Yeah I'm "playing" on CachyOS. When I can actually even get in, of course.
>>746010402>>746010369>censoring stuff for the 0,1%I will never get it
>>746010369Nah they didn't. The problem was the KR version censored her and it was probably too much of a pain to fix that.>>746010402Yeh, though less of a problem. My biggest issue was removing the shota suicide scene.
>>746010402imagine having that on your resume and not getting laughed out of the room
will it be smooth if i ran a eu vpn? i am aussie
>>746010332Share them anon. Save us from future decades of turds whining about pixels every time a pserver shuts down and re-opensplease
>>746010613nope
>>746010472While I'm fairly certain that it happened because of the US, I also do remember that there was also the korean porn witch hunt during the same era.I'm not going to argue since it's been forever and I'm technically supposed to work.
>>746010613Don't use a VPN. The client already has the tera proxy packaged with it(essentially zero ping with attacks) so the only thing you need to adjust is your defensive timing.
>>746010665Nah it happened because of megalia making the current president at that time their puppet, forcing many many korean games to be censored and artists jailed. Soccer Spirits is another game that was destroyed by the censorship like that. BNS was actually lucky.
>>746010369They reduced the size of her breasts too, and for some reason they also gave her that permanent angry expression, though she is supposed to be the genki type
>>746010626No guarantees that they'll work for you.https://mega.nz/file/XohnkQ6Z#pcW4B0zFuMJGST2hNceK5W48UZZ1TMhK-KYgtUM-vFohttps://mega.nz/file/ywwGTYbA#dSkH7mkcq-mecRiJEiceHBmEjPk9kdzImNzi6Uz1nUk

>>746009987>>746009186>>746010012Holy shit this game is ugly. There is no way you are still having standards this low.
Keep trying.
>>746011098Doesn't work.
>>746011469The faces range from pure ugly to semi cute.
>>746011859Which is why everyone uses the same three or four faces as a base.
>>746011469>Skill issueLiterally, you need a bit of art knowledge to make good looking characters with the sliders, for some reason the bottom is really low in this game and you can create some real abominations.

>>746014765Uhuh, enjoy your censored trash.
>>746013656I wish I had your luck. Maybe they're being racist against burgers.
>>746014854They talked about blocking NA last night
>>746014921Well shit.
>>746014921Kek
>>746010845>Nah it happened because of megalia>My biggest issue was removing the shota suicide scene.I thought they'd be on board with that though.
Console version starts another season on the 27th if anyone is curious enough to try it.
>>746015139That's censored even more though isn't it?
>>746015139why don't they just release a PC version. seriously, 10k+ players, that's free money they're burning. or is pubg that successful for krafton?
>>746015348They don't want to, probably retardism. Aren't they working on a sequel?
>>746014854It's all good my game crashed after about 2 hours of completely lag free gameplay. Didn't enjoy it too much because I had a few friends that couldn't get in I wanted to play with and explore with.
>>746015348Console dev on reddit said that PC version was handled by a different team and they have no control over it while confirming that Tera 2 is in fact being developed. No one gave a fuck about tera past 2020 btw
>>746015348>or is pubg that successful for krafton?BHS stopped caring about TERA the moment PUBG became massively popular and it's still massively popular today because of the Chinese. They had no reason to give a shit about TERA when it required significantly more time and effort to develop and maintain while bringing in significantly less money.
>The server will remain down until we deploy additional solutions - we are discussing costs x effective solutions.
>>746015119Only censored in the west.
>>746015986>costsSo this project is basically doomed?
>>746015986Sounds dead
>>746016375They mentioned there's some hardware that'd be around 2k to purchase. Seems more like there's no way to solve the current issues of ddos and hardcoded limits and they're trying to figure out if they should delay for a few weeks or make a second server etc.
>>746016375I doubt anyone bought their goycoins with how disastrous the launch has been.
>>746015910>BHS stopped caring about TERA the moment PUBG became massively popular and it's still massively popular today because of the Chinese.sounds like we need to kill PUBG, or the chinese.
>>746016561They're backed by cunnycryptos???

is tera good? or is it shit but people keep playing because sunk cost fallacy and nostalgia?
>>746011469Yet it still looks better than 90% of games coming out now on account of them being pixel shit.
>>746014921how will that work with people using vpn?
>>746019190It was by far the best Korean MMO and one of the best MMOs in general for the first few years.
>>746019190Gonna be honest while playing the game when it was working I did think it was kind of shit. It's only saving grace is that the combat is real time and requires some actual skill
>>746019190Yes its good the only reason its dead is cause the devs were legitimately retarded. You could get hacked through the ingame world chat for months.
>private server>censored clotheswhy are people eating this garbage?
>>746019190One of the first MMORPGs that got action combat right
>>746019190It is so good, it still exists to this day and is a rival to the other big three mmo.there is nothing beyond the gameplay being quick paced
>>746019460Most people don't care
>>746019549most people didnt touch this dumpster fire
i remember playing this game like 200 years ago
>>746010297Is Aion 2 not just tab target?
>>746019505it's not even a good action combat game compared to most single player games tho lmao
>>746019604What other pserver is used a lot right now?I really don't know
>>746019396>You could get hacked through the ingame world chat for months.How? Clicking a shady link doesn't count
I played this game for at least a hundred hours ages ago but I don't remember anything from it
>>746019727TERA had notoriously bad security. You could inject code through the in-game chat so there was no need to even click a shady link. It was effectively the same thing as browsing a page in-game.
>>746019190The combat is legitimately good but i'd imagine most are in for the nostalgia faps.
>>746019797sounds about right talking about most of the generic korean online games
>>746019460I think you can use TERA RealEditor in tandem with the JP files an anon posted earlier in the thread to restore the original appearance. It's a bit of a headache because the original files are 32 bit while the newer ones are 64 bit. The 32 bit files are saved in a format like Popori_F_H.gpk which contains subobjects like 00, 01 etc for your gear roughly in acquisition order. While the new stuff is like... 133abcde45.gpk garble. And I think doesn't directly contain the data, but is a composite file that you can refer to to find the data. It's really roundabout.Honestly I might just use, uh, work benefits to slop code something to mass replace the new files with the older ones. I don't really have any experience doing this but I'm 99% sure this is just the "modern" tera setup, because Menma has the exact same S1/CookedPC/ files. I don't think these guys made a deliberate choice, just no one has bothered to update the files after all this time.Unless someone already had done the work idk
>>746019727>How?nta but 0-click exploits exist, see log4shell back in 2021, CVE-2021-44228
>>746017172Shut up lgbt faggot.
>>746019303Well first they said to turn off vpns and ping boosters because that was part of the problem
>>746005926gacha makes better catgirls though
>>746016561Nobody should buy their goycoins seeing as how EVERY SINGLE TERA SERVER HAS BEEN HACKED and every single one of them stores their shit in plaintext. The last classic server for some reason even stored your paypal donation info which had your full names and everything attatched.
>>746021917>Nobody should buy their goycoinsFtfy. Imagine needing a reason to not be a stupid paypig.
>>746022459I have more than enough disposable income to spare and don't mind dropping money on servers that are stable and there for the love of the game. So far only done that for 2 private servers ever and that was a maplestory one that's still around after 10 years and Ephinea.None of the current tera servers are worth a shit, and each new one just continues that trend.
>>745999662>Shit server>Never playable>buy our coins
>>746024753YeahFuck thisNot gonna touch this shit
The server will die just like all the previous servers because the playerbase is 99.99% gay pedo coomers who don't care about the actual game and the devs merely pander to them for quick buck.I would love to see a server that disables el*n and the meltie it'd cause.
>>746027902>meltie it would causeIt wouldn't cause anything, no one would play it.>99.99% are gay coomer pedos who don't care about the gameAckshually if the game had bad gameplay it wouldn't be as much of a cult hit. There are better games for ERP and better games for gameplay but the options for good gameplay and good ERP is very small.
>>746028045pedo goon shit aside, the elin exclusive classes and all the elin turbopandering has objectively made the game much worse from the gameplay perspective
>>746028365The playerbase overwhelmingly play Elin, the only people who complained about the Elin-only classes did not actually play Tera or were masochists.Elin players are also the ones who saved the game by actually spending money, the devs themselves admitted so on their own forum when it was still alive.
>>746027902>I would love to see a server that disables el*nAnd dies instantly because nobody plays?
>>746019647Same, had a cute school girl outfit for my Elin.
>akshually the game transitioned into being a pedophile agp simulator and if you didn't adapt to the times then you didn't belong>nobody would play if they can't be little girls in lingerieIt's no wonder the game never had any tangible private server presence.
>>746028638https://archive.ph/UtHwIHere's the archive. People complaining about Elins are tourists who never played the game or faggot who didn't spend a dime on the game then cried that their garbage race wasn't getting outfits.
>>746028984>faggot who didn't spend a dime on the game then cried that their garbage race wasn't getting outfitsIt's even happening right now, lmao.
>>746028946>>akshually the game transitioned into being a pedophile agp simulator and if you didn't adapt to the times then you didn't belong>>nobody would play if they can't be little girls in lingerieYes.
>>746028946I know sharteens like to try and rewrite history through argumentive retardation but Elin are literally the reason the game survived as long as it did.
>>746028984I played a shitton but ended up quitting during the elinization because all my friends/guildies also quit and the game was becoming shit. The whole pandering to the mentally ill was the final nail.I still check the game out of nostalgia sometimes and have tried multiple servers but they're always ghost towns with nothing but neckbeard elin erp happening in them.
>thick the gamelame no thin lolis in here
>>746028946Becoming F2P was an attempt at luring people who didn't play Elin actually, you had to buy the game to play it before that and the majority of the people who did were Elin players.After the game became F2P, most of the non-Elin players did NOT spend money at all.
>>746029313>1 (one) elin swimsuit cosmetic outsells every other race's swimsuit cosmetics combinedKek>>746029491I saw anons talking some item that'll make your thighs thinner or thicker, it gets pretty thin.
>>746029313Pedocels love to act like they're the second coming of Jesus by posting that picture in every Tera thread but the truth is that the game was already in its death throes when Bluehole tried to get a few more pennies from the mentally ill. The bulk of the players have already quit. The game wasn't saved, it was zombified in maintenance mode, continuously bleeding the few remaining players it had.If the game were good, it'd have a thriving private server scene.
>>746027902>retard
>>746029871>The bulk of the players have already quit.The bulk of players were elin players that didn't quit. You are ESL btw.
>>746029871Wow. What a clueless retard.
>>746029871larp award
>>746029441Your whole fault for not spending money, retard. Elins got outfit because people whaled for them.
>>746019671yeah in the same way BnS is
In a way Tera cemented the gookslop MMO model. Daily chores, atrocious cosmetics and zero substance.
>>746031232No it didn't, because they clearly didn't take any notes about combat.
>>746029871>it'd have a thriving private server sceneCompared to most MMO?It actually does.
>>746031328The combat was nice (originally and before the zoom zoom powercreep patches) but there wasn't any actual content where you could enjoy it since most things were braindead easy and PvP was deader than dead. The following gook "MMOs" realized that combat has to be merely serviceable enough for you to do your mindless solo leveling and daily chores and here we are.
>>746031328They did. Lost Ark is an example on that evolution on the sort of real time combat It's also an example of how you can have a very tight responsive combat system and rape the game with awful design decisions just like Tera.
>>746031232Nah, TERA was actually the least Korean-like MMO for several years but over time it changed for the worse.
>>746031628>here we arewith a dead genre replaced by gachaslop>>746031682that's pretty much the only example, and that game popped the fuck off until everyone realized how shit the systems design is, forcing you to play alts and engage with the most atrocious rng ever devised, all they have to do is fucking make a game with great combat, good content and not fill it with cancer but they can't even handle that
>>746031682Funny how LA ended up in the same dumpster. Great combat made irrelevant by dogshit content and gameplay loop. Also disgusting cosmetics that give you eye cancer.
>>746031232brother maplestory existed long before tera, and WoW was pioneering dailies before the rest caught on to that engagement model
>>746031787you know an asian game is entering maintenance mode when they start selling coom apparelit's a clear sign to abandon the sinking ship but brainfried retards keep funding their own downfall
>>746032156they literally just do that from day 1 though, it's half the reason anyone plays them since western MMOs are afraid (or maybe too incompetent) to have attractive characters and sexual themes
>>746032156That's true for western games, not asian ones.You're an unironic retard.
gacha games have built an entire empire on selling sexy, cute and generally attractive anime girlsmy question is why has nobody done an MMO with the type of visuals you see in anime gachas? they would make infinite money
>>746032021>>746031787Maple Story didn't have daily shit in the 2000s. Same with TERA or others mmo like Lunia, Trickster etc.
>>746032486Korea did but most of them are skinner boxes, the only ones that manage to get out of the country are either the most successful ones or the ones aiming for a global audience from the start.As for Japan, they don't really have an MMO culture and it show whenever they make a manga/anime about an MMO.Both FF11 and PSO2 were lightning in a bottle.Can't say about FF14 but I've heard it's not doing that good nowadays.
>>746031628The combat was the only notable thing about the game but it was chronically under-catered and the change in business model ruined everything. It's cheaper in the short term to just sell some swimsuits to coomers rather than maintain a real videogame and the content required for a real videogame. This kind of pandering means death in the long term, it's a quick cashout
>>746032156Bullshit, vindictus did that and still alive.
>>746033196>quick cashoutTERA grew in popularity and revenue for the next several years and the game got more and bigger updates after the f2p transition. The "quick cashout" didn't come until after the game was already stripped down to a skeleton crew so BHS could focus their efforts on PUBG.
>>746033616>TERA grew in popularity and revenue for the next several yearsThe majority of people I knew on launch quit within the first couple of months
>>746033682and when I came back to it later it was just full of elin erp'ing, which isn't something you can ask friends to play with you as an MMO
>>746033682Contrary to populary belief, a fucking anecdote is not proof of anything.
>>746033682>anecdotal evidence
>>746032486>my question is why has nobody done an MMO with the type of visuals you see in anime gachas? they would make infinite moneyGachas are much cheaper to make, even after the push that happened post genshin to make everything high quality, 3d and stylish they're still way cheaper than servicing and dealing with an mmo.There is a lot of interest though, Blue Protocol had 100k players on steam alone at launch before people realized it was mobile dogshit with awful design decisions. The interest is there, it'd just be very expensive to make and maintain content for compared to gachas which is why they don't do it.
>>746033958yeah, if actual garbage like star resonance can get that much interest then surely something they looks as good as endfield or whatever would break the internet
>>746033868>>746033859Anecdotes against anecdotes. You don't have a population graph and if you did it would show a massive drop after launch because of course it would
>>746009186>>746014854>file.pngdumb nigger
>>746034083It only released because it cost the devs almost nothing to make since they just ripped open a carcass of a fully developed game>break the internetWhatever success it achieved, they'd have gotten more money for less investment as a gacha. It's just the hard truth of the matter.
>>746032486I liked Ragnarok online but that was pixel shit.I missed the Mabinogi train sadly, and the dev made the weird decision to change the artstyle/art direction with Mabinogi Heroes, better known as Vindictus here.
I have to wear this stupid mask for a damage buff and i don't have any cute accessories to hide it. -__-
>>746034138You're essentially saying that Elin killed the game when every metric out there show the opposite.When people talk about TERA, Elin are the first thing that pop in mind and they did leave a trace in the history of MMO.
>>746034138The game closed on PC cause of Elyon, it bombed at release so bad Krafton forced them to lay off almost all of their staff. That included from Tera. They kept a handful to keep the console version going but not the pc one.
>>746034162Explain your complaint so I know how much of a retard you are.
>>746034498>You're essentially saying that Elin killed the gameNo I'm saying that making swimsuits for little girls into the crux of your business model instead of focusing on broader videogame appeal meant the game had no chance long term and was just cashing out on coomers. It may have had no chance long term anyway, but it doesn't seem as if they tried. The reply below you suggests it was all over before it even began due to being down to a skeleton team, so maybe taking the quick swimsuit money and running was the smartest choice, but stop pretending this was a legitimate shot at making a successful staple MMO
>>746034138>clueless retardTERA had a horrible p2p period and quickly lost popularity once the initial hype died off. After the f2p transition the game gradually gained popularity up until about 2016 which is when the dropoff started and by ~2020 the game was hemorrhaging. Guess what released between 2016 and 2020 which accelerated the death of the game?
>>746035208"Broader videogame appeal" is what failed though. Word directly from the dev's own mouths.You're just upset that it doesn't align with your morals.
>>746035257Oh you should have explained that you were a third worlder who only plays F2P games so you thought "launch" meant the F2P launch
>>746035576>clueless retard lacks reading comprehensionAnon I explicitly mentioned the p2p period of the game and the fact that after the initial hype it fucking nosedived. Please attempt to keep up.
>>746035442Broader videogame appeal means a GAME. Your forum screenshot just says that elin swimsuits outsold castanic swimsuits and when swimsuits are the primary concern of the development team you know the game is screwed
>>746035716>primary concernNeither of those words are even in that screenshot.
any /v/ guilds?
>>746035872Server crashed, ask again next year
>>746035872They shut the server down so no
>>746035872NAANo Americans Allowed
>>746035716The primary concern of any dev is making money and it turns out that Elin players were the only ones willing to open their wallets.
>>746035208The western industry literally killed itself chasing that "broader videogame appeal".The few last years showed that you CANNOT please everyone and that you have to focus on who you want to please.
I wanted to give this a go but it's clear after this launch fiasco the devs have no idea what they're doing>somehow didnt realize there is a 3000 hard coded server cap that causes the entire thing to shit out if it gets overloaded>no ddos protection>original tera classic pserver also crashed every hour for the entirety of its run Stupid
>>746037258Starting an Only Fans account and building an MMO could both make money but I'd rather see devs doing the latter
>>745999662Poopoo design. Either go full-send and make her a fluffy loli, or lose the bolted-on animal ears/tail.
>>746037637>bolted-on animal ears/tail.What the fuck are you talking about?
>>746037637die furfag
>>746037740you're a furfag too if you wanna fuck a girl with animal ears and a tail
>>746037637Elin would look worse as cubs and you know it
>>746037471Making an MMO will not magically make them money, you need to aim for an audience willing to pay money or the game will close down anyway.Now, what would make YOU spend money in an MMO beyond the initial purchase?The servers are not going to pay themselves.
>>746035716>>746037258Is there any reason not to make your mmo a collection of fetishes in a variety of races + humans? stopping the pretense entirely and just... going for it
>>746038406like scarlet blade? didn't work out too well for them, you have to make it somewhat appear like a real video game on the surface
>>746037637for me, it's the Lyns
>>746038687lyns can be really cute but the slider freedom in the game means they usually look horrendous
>>746038406Porn gacha exist but they don't do too well because they are not allowed to advertise, which limit the size of the playerbase, which in turn raise the price of anything that can be bought to make up for it.I assume it's the same for MMO.
>>746038406So the people who control money got together and decided they didn't like erotic or pornographic media so they actively work to make sure it's harder to make money off of despite the massive market. It's not limited to video games.
>>746038934I was thinking PG. Porn anything at high budgets is a recipe for failure.Basically, give the players the tools to roleplay and they'll find their fun. Suggestive outfits? give them to all races, no matter if they fit or not. Player choice. Character-hiding cowled cloaks, profession outfits, wacky weapons, special effects. Disguising items, items you can use to interact with players, active dice, minigame items like chess, instruments that work in real time, items changing the world, like standing up picnic tables or blankets, tents you can enter and leave (lots of potential here methinks),scenic locations, secret locations, places to play with in roleplaying scenarios,The toughest problem about the above is that they WILL be paid in today's gaming industry, since game companies treat any interactability above the base generic gameplay as a venue to make money.
>>746040012So VR chat but with more gameplay?
>>746040317Doesn't have to be VR. VR Chat also is ultimately a level based experience. And really individual at that, with how differing in functionality custom models are on a case-by-case basis. You want everyone to have a lot of choice on an even playing field, which VRChat does not, and I'm not even counting VR headset differences. Maximizing individualism tends to create more rifts than bridges, in my opinion. The crucial thing, to me at least, is the shared fate of players, the shared world that joins them together.
>>746037838If you followed the conversation I was literally paying a subscription on launch, which I'm happy to do if I'm provided with a genuine quality MMO. Like I did for WoW even if that ultimately wasn't the kind of content I wanted. Videogames are first and foremost played by people who like games, normal people are not terminally thirsty and the most successful videogames of all time are not pseudo porn
>>746037789You're like a groomer, you know that? Yiff in hell. Nekomini are vastly superior to any furshit
>>746041161>my loli good>your loli groomer
>>746041218sorry anon I think he got you
>>746041130You're not answering the question, you only sidestepped it.What would make you keep paying for a subscription then?"A good game" is both too vague and too subjective btw.>normal people are not terminally thirsty They are, they just don't show it.>and the most successful videogames of all time are not pseudo pornThe most successful games of all time are catered to children, see Pokemon and Minecraft, even CoD or GTA can't compare.
>>746041130Meanwhile, in FFXIV...
>>746041464No, you didn't.
>>746041485Are your swimsuits competing with CoD or GTA? Or ER, or WoW or DotA or even just TF2's hats? No they're not and it's because you're a niche weirdo with a fetish that you've made into your entire personality and it's driving everyone else away from you. I don't have to approach this from a moralising angle, I don't care what you jerk off to, but how about we get an action based MMORPG that tries to do more than just sell fetish material to (You) personally?
>>746042627Yeah sure, try out Wildstar for th- oh wait.
>>746042717they dropped the ball on ws, that could have done better
>>746037415They have a ton of ddos protection, there's just an insane number of attacks. But yes they should have realised they needed more servers or support when their video got 100k views in a week
>server offlineThanks for nothing I guess
>>746043968They said the trailer wasn't made by the team, some random fan supposedly BUT their pisscord has 20k people in it, either way they were stupid to assume it was going to be a small amount of people.>>746044067It's free anon think of the poor devs who worked countless hours for free trying to deliver a private server for you
>>746044257yeah but they're the ones who shilled it all over reddit
its not a ddosthey're just retarded and didn't expect this volume of people wanting to play at once
So how do I play this game?
>>746044923>its not a ddosi encourage you to put up a tera server and see how long it lasts before the schizos from other servers start ddosing it out of fear
>>746044836Go tell them that.>>746044923I doubt it was as well, ddosing is taken a little seriously by law enforcement these days and I think EU countries care a bit more about that type of thing than most countries.
>>746044990Russia does not give a single fuck about ddosing and it's very cheap to do
>>746042627Did you miss the entire gacha industry?They more than rival all the games you mentioned.And it doesn't change the fact that the most successful games out there are geared towards children, should all devs strive towards making games for children?>but how about we get an action based MMORPG that tries to do more than just sell fetish material to (You) personally?I don't mind that but why attack TERA in particular rather than the industry and/or genre itself? You're barking at the wrong tree.I personally think the MMO genre is long past its peak, we're never getting again something on the same scale as wow.
>>746044990>I doubt it was as well, ddosing is taken a little seriously by law enforcement these daysLiterally every TERA private server has gotten fairly regular DDoS attacks for the past few years.
>>746047343They should try doing something about that then instead of taking it up the ass raw. Cyber crime is srs bsns.
>>746047679they don't have much ground to stand on when running a private server is a cyber crime
it's a combination of things you retards>they're getting ddossed>they expected 1-2k people to play the server, not 20k normies following after their favorite youtubefaggot or twitchfaggot streamer>the website, the login server, the game server, everything is connected according to the devs on discord so when one part gets hammered, everything else gets hammered too>official tera couldn't handle numbers above 2.5k and these devs are vibecoding the private server
>>746000032https://youtu.be/om6QZVMX9-M
>>746042627Outside of GTA, literally all the games you mentioned are past their prime and make less money than your average gacha.TF2 is literally in maintenance mode and dota literally can't gain new players.Also it's funny that you mention fetish when the only people left that still play wow are actual troons ERPing.
>>746047747Project Epoch 2
>>746044067I need ilulu shaped elins.
