>>1984294
I like the stuff that guy keeps saying is coming but rn the costume situation here is even worse than classic that only had swimsuits and it's killing my will to play. I don't even have dyes for the shitty fashion coupon outfits on my alts and it makes them a chore to play
Just some suits and no shapechangers anywhere??

>>1984804
yeah where the FUCK are the shapechangers? those should be easy and cheap to get, its just character creation

they probably rushed the server out to try to capitalize on the only big tera server dying

>>1984804
>>1984809
Too many cooks and only one of them seems to care about customization. The other devs probably don't care about costumes because they only wear the maid dresses and that's already out

>>1984818
I thought the server was supposed to be from /terag/ oldfags. where is even the communication here, you'd think all the devs would be actively posting here first and foremost

>>1984825
Maybe they don't know about /VM/

>>1984830
We know that's not the case as it was aggressively shilled here as a /terag/ project

>>1984830
>>1984832
I'm old /terag/ and didn't know about this board until after I heard about osto so take that as you will

Shill OSTO on /v/ or something. I need more people to run stuff.

>>1984954
I'm really not feeling Osto.
I don't think I like how they are doing their endgame gearing, especially when it come to feedstocks.
The simple fact you can't use tier 10 gear for feedstocks is so dumb.

>>1984825
What do you even want them to post here?

>>1985066
This server’s endgame progression is a jumbled mess. Why do you have semi enigma scrolls in a reputation vendor when you can just spend marks to reroll accessories? Plus you shilled OSTO in the last thread but I don’t see any of you answering questions here. /terag/ server my fucking ass.

popo save us please...

>>1985095
post it in feedback dumb dumb

>>1985066
If they were genuine /terag/ers they'd be listening and responding to feedback here esp considering they were shilling a few days earlier. Instead its been radio silence and "join the discord server". We've had smarter devs in the past like DDON's dev posting here and he was generally well received

EU Chads playing on Tera Classic EU. WAGMI

Complain about osto again and I release gunner + remove all costumes from the game!

>>1985307
can you release ninja instead?

>>1984810
It really does seem to be the case. I think this would have ended up better if they took more time to work on the server. I knew it was looking bad when BAMs (a selling point of the server) got nerfed within 12 hours of launch despite it taking like 30 minutes to get to basilisks and try it with a 5-man party, can't be that hard to playtest. Then they got nerfed 2 more times.
There's a lot of other things wrong with the server as well.
>>1984825
>>1985190
I think it's just a handful of people shilling it. Even though it has the TiE banner it does not feel /terag/ whatsoever.
>>1984954
The population is a big problem, but only kind of. Unless you already were in some kind of tera-related social circle that's playing the game, it takes a long time to do anything or get content going. There aren't enough solo or 2-3 man player groups playing the game to populate both leveling and endgame PvE content, much of the existing player count does everything within their own circles so it exacerbates the issue. PvE completely dies whenever it's CS time, and you're sitting there twiddling your thumbs hoping you're one of the 34 people that get into the 1 CS queue.

But it clearly was pretty much a server designed for their own cliques so it is what it is.

>>1985109
>come to my trannycord to leave feedback on a 4chan run server!
I'm convinced none of you are from 4chan. Quit larping as /terag/. Still not joining discord just to leave feedback on a "/terag/ run server"

agree with better rewards, but pvp already gives braindead amounts of exp and leveling scrolls.

>no one to level with, a ghost town for new solo players

This was announced hours in advance. He's waited on multiple occasions for something to end. If someone does not specifically let him know to wait, he is not sitting there reading chat to try and guess. I don't think Popo ever gave that a consideration at all for anyone.

>>1986064

Feedback does get read but you guys seem to expect handjobs while doing nothing for yourselves. If it's a proper complaint with solid reasoning and logic, with a workable solution in the same manner it will likely be put in the work queue immediately. If it's a vague complaint it's hard to expect it to go anywhere, especially if it's something that's a fundamental issue for tera and human behavior.

erm... ytsb was more than 50% terag though sis..

having to use super expensive alkahest just to get +9 is a dumb change too imo. yes you can spam dungeons but without being in a guild it seems to be a pain to get a party, especially if you're not located in a timezone that affords playing at peak times. the population is pretty low too which doesn't help things.

really sucks that nobody seems to care about tera (speaking generally). still, it is more alive than tera eu. all we do there is play kumas...

Just realized I hardly remember this game's OST despite playing it for over a year. Which is kind of strange, since nearly every successful KMMO from the era was known for having a bangin soundtrack.
I remember thinking TERA's was okay, but not much of it really stood out. More about laying atmosphere rather than anything noteworthy on its own, I guess, which was fine in the moment.
Save for Highwatch and Velika (which basically don't count since you were almost always in one of the two whenever you weren't running content), the only other tracks I can recall offhand are the Elin character creation theme, Isle of Dawn, and this random incidental overworld theme of all things: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBg4Ar2307g
What about (You)?

>>1986759
No no, TERA's OST is definitively one of its weakest point.
It's really weak overall with some nice piece here and there but it's 100% forgettable.
Which is kind of a strange in a way because a lot of old KRMMO were often carried by their ost.

The only notable piece people talk about when it come to TERA's OST is this one.

>>1987204

>>1987628
I'm in the devs discord, they've been busy patching a lot of vulnerable crashing. Server owner is a dumbass for not taking an extra 10-15 minutes for adding permanent shape changers but things are obviously moving forward incrementally.

Dungeon loot has been doubled with entries halved (faster farming), and BGs had their credit rewards increased with leveling coupons added to make CS pop.

Definitely a shiller here but I respect the server owner more cause he doesn't blatantly ignore ways to improve the player experience, we're all here to have fun

>>1987635
Actually, yes. But current version isn't that different really, HTL change got reverted and lancer got a 100% aggro buff across the board instead. Chains are still there.

So you want to be included in OSTO feedback but this will probably be rigged as fuck. Vote and maybe the devs will count them. No guarantees. Better off doing it in the dickscord however.

You can just as easily make a 2nd discord account, and even if people samefag that's still the same as one guy making a post on discord, no?

>>1986076
He cut countless CS matches like 10 secs before the end, and there was only ever that one match going on. Which was fine, because I was always on the losing side when it happened.

>>1988080
Yeah but that's 1 discord account, not forcing 10+ votes from bots or personal army from people who don't even know what Tera is

>>1988163
first week was rough, but things seem fairly stable at the moment

>>1988235
Devs had to play whack-a-mole for a while but it seems like they ran out of cards to exploit with since it's been a couple of days with crashes caused by ill intent. Or maybe they got bored, who knows.

>>1988317
Maybe they paid the ransom

theres still people crashing out constantly in dungeons runs for like 10 mins then it resolves

>>1988235
I'm still having connection issues, especially around Nexus time. It affects only some players for some reason, but the problem is still there.

What was the point of the beta if you're going to keep making radical changes after the server goes live?

>>1988532
It's almost like there were not enough people in beta to collect data on and test how everything would work together

>>1988469
go play clash of clans my guy, thats more up your alley

>>1988624
Almost like you shouldn't have released the server early on before extensive testing just because you wanted to capture popo classic's audience

>>1988757
The longer time went on there were less and less beta testers so how extensive would that get? And don't pretend like classic releasing first wouldn't have people posting "they missed their chance to capitalize on that" Always someone pointing out the worst and the grass is always greener, hindsight is always 20/20 blah

Coming from someone who hasn't played TERA in a decade, I'm having fun on OSTO and it's been great seeing names I recognize from the VM1 days. The DDoSing in the first week was annoying, but it looks like it's been patched up now since I haven't crashed in a few days. Also, how many anons are there on Starscape/Classic EU? If there're as many as there are on OSTO, I'd like to give them a shot too.
Modern /terag/ anons are strangely territorial about their TERA private server of choice, but you should play whatever PS you enjoy the most. This is literally just a repeat of MT/CH/LoT rivalry from back in the day, but instead of calling each other fags, it looks like we're calling ourselves trannies now. Some things just never change.

>>1988928

>>1991680
I'm 99% sure there is a SEA-based server with an average population. I don't know what it's called or where to look for it though.

nta and didn't do much pvp on retail gunner patch but that's just not true. the balance on the 65 patch (pre zerk d-stance and pre nu-lancer balance) wasn't that bad, if anything gunner was the problem and tera from that point onward had to compensate other classes for the absolute retardation that was gunner. if you think every class was suffering except gunner it just shows you're a nu-tera zoomie.

>>1992356
because saying every other class except gunner "was the problem" makes you the problem. every class after reaper should not have existed.

>>1992357
I never said they were a problem? I said every other class was suffering. Suffering means having a bad time because problem is happening TO THEM. The only one not having a problem happen to them is the gunner because they are OP and play in a way that other classes can't fairly engage.

>>1992360
it's a "problem" to the development team and your "solution" to this problem is to bring up the quality of life (read: ruin the pvp of) every other class just so osto fits your preference of playing nu-tera. >>1992319 anon was not wrong at all in that you don't care about the pvp balance on this server (which is retarded by the way, because why do you think people even play a 12 year old version of tera? it's not to parse balder's temple by the way). it's peak mouthbreather behavior and peak irony that you shit on popoclassic's pvp when you ruin pvp on osto with terrible pve changes and run server-sanctioned cheats that cause desync, that don't register slows, that don't let skills go on cooldown, and more.

Aww.
Still lurking here, Anon, but since I'm on-break from TERA at the moment, it's not as if I have much to add to the conversation regarding this title and its many (arguably too many) servers.

Will say that, at the very least, I've most certainly noticed this game has a /wicked/ drop-off rate when it comes to player retention for whatever reason, regardless of server. Whenever interest towards TERA begins to surge anew, that groundswell of enthusiasm only ever seems to last for just a couple of months at most, before these threads (and their surrounding communities) return to being largely dormant once more.
Speaks to some aspect regarding endgame progression which continually turns people off time-and-again, for one reason or another. Although perhaps that's to be expected for a themepark-style MMO perpetually stuck in static, preset versions of itself; vidya made in this style of genre doesn't often take very well to being knowingly "finished".

I do hope things are going as well as they can be for OSTO, yet given the circumstances, I'm simply not one to do any boots-on-the-ground reporting for it in this instance, shame to say.
Currently far too invested in FFXI to do much else at the moment. Even called-off my original plans to swing by GW2's next expansion launch later this month, as I've since revved-up five new accounts for XI, and have begun the long, loooong road towards becoming my own six-player Party of One with the help of various (and thoroughly elaborate) multiboxing utilities and plug-ins.
Will I inevitably burn myself out in due time by doing this? Probably. But it's been quite interesting so far for sure, in its own unique way...!

>>1996019
After the free elites start expiring, I think a lot of the novelty will wear off. For PvE, the entry level hard modes already filter out a lot of the playerbase. And with how they tuned ACHM to be made for the experienced players, I don't think a majority will get past that until it gets nerfed or abyss/regent weapon economy kicks in. But right now abyss weapons are untradable.

Then for PvP there isn't really much fresh blood that decides to stay. Once the base of self-sustaining PvP players dips below healthy levels it'll be rough. A lot of PvPers are finishing their full +12 PvP gear and won't be as active. There's talks of alliance pvp stuff, but on this server with 200~ players max and with most of the tryhard PvPers concentrated in 1 guild, I don't see it going well.

More PvE and PvP balance changes will bring some fresh air into things for a fleeting moment, but I'm sure it'll also be quite controversial.

>Enchanting rates for +1 ~ 9 reverted back to vanilla rates.
>Masterworking success chance doubled to 5% from 2.5%.

100% don't think elite will be popular, 10 bucks for some small QOL when there are a lot of improvements to be made still and playerbase hasn't hit highs yet. I got 1.5 months of free elite for being a high profile tester but I just see everyone trying out other slop in 4 days or Classic. They forget they have a lot of competition and need ideas for player retention

True, but in knowing I'm still occasionally checking these threads, (You) can still flag me down on occasion here.
I might not be actively playing TERA at the moment, but I still know a good deal about Starscape at any rate. Even if it's not the most popular of servers these days, eheh.

>>1996085
>For PvE, the entry level hard modes already filter out a lot of the playerbase.
On a related note...
Not sure how much of this holds true for OSTO, but a constant frustration against Starscape's player retention was the unfortunate fact that it simply took too long to get to the interesting bits.
Despite being able to skip straight to 70, the gear requirements for performing well past earlygame were /steep/, necessitating an absolute TON of spamming the same mindless lower-tier dungeons ad-nauseam. The "Tier 3 Wall" - as it was known on that server - was very much real, and the primary cause for new arrivals eventually departing, even with the server's locals regularly bending over backwards to help those same newbloods out.
Was a real shame, as once you made it to the latter-half of Tier-3, the game's encounter design /finally/ started to shine, properly pushing players to perform in demanding, mechanics-laden battles. But of course, hardly any Anon who gave Starscape a shot ever saw those highs, leaving well beforehand due to being bored to tears with endless Red Refuge, Thaumetal, Channelworks, and RK-9 spam.

I'm hoping a similar sort of issue isn't quite as prominent in v31/OSTO. Can't remark from experience, as I never actually made it to the level cap on Classic, despite putting in weeks worth of playtime into that doomed place during its big surge.

>[As for] PvP there isn't really much fresh blood that decides to stay.
Ah yes, the same conundrum which plagues literally every single form of niche person-to-person competition.
TERA's PvP can be fun, but I can't rightly blame newbloods for not getting into it. Ain't fun to get wrecked without hope.

It's more like gearing alts is fucking asscancer when you eat 200 MES on a single item with no pity mechanic. It's cheaper this way overall. 1-9 is piss compared to MES RNG, and comes with enchantment bonus on fail. I'd make that trade every time.

>>1996291
>I'm hoping a similar sort of issue isn't quite as prominent in v31/OSTO.
The lvl cap in OSTO is 60. Back in the 60 cap the stats were kept at a sane level, so the gear upgrades weren't as massive as they were in later updates.

I think tuned up PvE as opposed to vanilla is cool too, and a bit necessary given that the player base is far more skilled and advantaged (SP). However, there are pain points in having a soft skill check mid-game progression that can turn off a lot of the more casual or inexperienced audience. The way old Tera tried to take care of this was tradable abyss/regent stuff allowing you to gear carry past content to a certain extent while rewarding the early clearers at the same time. Along with things like canephoras and whatnot.

Here's some numbers from the OSTO leaderboards of how many unique accounts cleared content
>FoK NM
92 accounts
>BT NM
93 accounts
>FoK HM
38 accounts
>BT HM
21 accounts
>AC HM 2nd last boss
26 accounts
>AC HM last boss
5 accounts, only once so far as well

It's not just the progression being limited by gear and people's lack of desire to grind it (a reasonable feeling towards a private server with 200~ player count), but also that it's tough to find successful or tenacious groups for harder and harder content unless you're all cliqued up already. Even when you clear once, untradable weapons means you'll have to clear it 20 times for a 59% chance at getting your BoP drop-only weapon for progression, a kind of progression with odds which haven't at all existed in pre-vm1 and vm1 era of Tera (either the drop rates were much higher if it was a BoP drop-only weapon progression, or it was tradable so you could barter to get it even if you were unlucky, or it only came after you beat mchm anyway [regent]).

Then there's still knhm and then mchm.

Back when it went down someone said it'd take at least 2 months to fix it all if you knew what you were doing and a lot longer if you didn't, and it looks like they knew what they were talking about. But nobody's seriously going to fix stuff for months, paying a dev team with 0 income, that's a fantasy.

>>2001900
Reborn's dead, utterly, completely, just check the logs. 18 dungeons ran a day, all of them by the same party. Even asura has 30 times the activity somehow.

>>2008494
Shit, I miscounted since they're all 3 boss dungeons. 6 dungeons ran a day on reborn then.

>>2008494
Correct.
3 months of no patches, questionable content (BRH fish being a staggerfest, whatever the fuck Observatory was) and blatant gearing issues not getting fixed slowly bled its playerbase. The Baraka summer event dungeon ended up being a complete shitshow despite the delays which put a lot of people off the server for good.
Afterwards VSH/GLSH was as good a patch was realistically going to be (despite needing another week of testing or at least a couple more hotfixes to be truly great) and all it did was bring back old players for a couple weeks without attracting anyone new or from other servers.
Teralogs not updating with the new dungeons for a whole month after that was the final nail in the coffin. Now, nobody is left to care about the latest patch (DRCH).
Shame, it was a fun server while it lasted. Most classes felt genuinely amazing to play (way better than Agaia if you ask me, which I consider completely unplayable).

>>2008584
Agaia had that dogshit QoL with no rootbeer or etchings present at the beginning where everything felt like playing in slow motion. I at least applaud them for actually managing to retain a playerbase. Reborn's decisions for the subsequent patches were baffling though, who even thought was a good idea to add 3 out of 4 dungeons on the new rotation that were already existing through their dreadspire variant. At least agaia, as shit as it is, is not literally unplayable by sole virtue of having more than 10 players. What a general shitshow all around with all the new servers popping one after the other making 110% sure not one server can maintain an actual population for more than 2 weeks.

>>2009060
>who even thought was a good idea to add 3 out of 4 dungeons on the new rotation that were already existing through their dreadspire variant
Oh, I knew VSH was a bad idea for that exact reason. In fact, it's even worse than what you said, as Agaia already had SCE and SRH (which are VSH's direct upgrades despite being slower) and even GLSH, albeit a way easier version than Arborea's. Either way, between the above and reusing PH bosses it's really no wonder nobody came over.
I think the original plan was having PH rotate its bosses with GLSH/VSH release, but it got postponed due to lacking manpower. To give you an idea, VSH/GLSH patch was done from almost scratch in about a week by the dev and 5 testers at best. It's already a miracle it came out at all.

>I at least applaud them for actually managing to retain a playerbase

There are only a couple servers per region, and the final regions are now being merged. It's the final step before death. The subreddit is technically alive, but all the posts left are whales crying about the very rng systems they enable. It's just so sad to see a game I once liked so much being reduced to this.

Many such cases, sadly.
We've clearly seen the logical endpoint of dungeon/raid-focused MMO design by now. It's just an unsustainable model to only have like 10% of your game's content be relevant, and only one way to really spend your time while playing it.

Most KMMOs masked that inherent shallowness through endless gear treadmills and PvP, but people will inevitably get bored of running the same dungeons/raids after a while, and these more modern KMMOs don't offer much else besides them.
TERA, Blade&Soul, Vindictus, Dragon Nest, Lost Ark. All of them have some of the best gameplay in the genre by a wide margin, yet hardly anyone still left playing, since their narrow structure just gets tiresome before long.

Classic thoroughly poisoning the private server well, and the months-long DDOS/hacking attacks which followed, really killed enthusiasm towards this title. Star Resonance coming out was the knockout punch, even if it's nowhere near as good as an actual game compared to TERA.
There's an argument to be made that a non-negligible amount of animufags don't actually care about the quality of an MMO's underlying gameplay, and primarily play these titles for their social element first and foremost (see also: PSO2:NGS), but that's just speculation.

If you're still wanting to sample TERA, Starscape is your only real choice for v100 on NA, and OSTO is similarly your only v31 option for NA. You could potentially try some of the EU servers if you're on the east coast of NA, but living any farther west would lead to subpar ping in a game where ping is everything.
Arborea WAS (and honestly still is) the better v100 server in EU, but Agaia ended up winning the popularity bowl in that region despite being a notably worse server overall, which sucks.

Also what the heck, when was Page 6 the cut-off point for threads on /vm/?

Star Resonance is a great game that does a lot of things well that TERA doesn't, gameplay is at the bottom of the list of important things as evidenced by all the current popular MMOs having pretty terrible gameplay.

Have to wonder how much of that is due to history and clout carrying those popular games, versus MMO players just having low standards in general. Anything can be made fun if you're playing it with your friends.
It's just frustrating to see so many entries into the genre during the early 2010s which took an actual swing at making their moment-to-moment gameplay interesting have all largely died off, or are on life support. The only real exception of which I can think of being Guild Wars 2, and that one's always going to be a weirdly divisive pick on this site for one reason or another, regardless of its quality.

Roblox, not even once.
Mildly surprised something like that doesn't happen more often, given how infamously lax most boards are with their moderation in [current year].

Eh yeah, fair enough.
Classic's meteoric (by TERA standards) rise and crashing fall felt like a speedrun of what befell Menmas however-many years ago. There was a bit of population spillover towards trying out Starscape and other servers once it died, but nothing on nearly the same level of activity or interest.
I'm sure even Classic would've started churning through its playerbase before long had things not imploded so rapidly, knowing what we do now about who was at the helm.
Maybe it's inevitable for TERA to remain a pretty niche title regardless of server, given its narrow structure, subpar social systems, and no official content being developed. Was fun while it lasted, at least.

They were doing okay on the EU side. I played menma consistently for 2-3 years (forgot how long it was up at this point), sure it never had 1000s of players but ims was always alive, I never had issues with finding parties. Same can't be said for any other server I played.

>Arborea - EU (France), Patch 100, Customized and contains server-exclusive content

sounds interesting but i cant speak French. Is it possible to speak English there?

>>2034145
That's just where the server is located. It's 99% english speakers.

Why the fuck won't BHS re-release Tera on pc? The game is still running on console, just release it on pc.

>>2034253
It's probably only still online on console because of contracts of Sony/Microsoft.

thread isn't the same without alle supplying us jerkbait

Nobody posts screencaps of themselves in MMO threads anymore for some reason, save for a couple of rare exceptions. Even when there were like 30 anon signed onto Starscape or Classic, the only person who'd ever post themselves actually playing was Alle.
What caused this? Most of the site being phoneposters now, and thus not having easy access to their PC's image folders? People being too scared of getting a thread schizo latched onto them by pinning a name to a face? There's a story here.

99% of my tera screenshots are just me accidentally pressing the print screen button... not much interesting stuff going on

>>2034500
Got a rotating IP. Half the time I want to post an image, I can't because someone else did something to get banned. Have to wait too long before being able to make a post. Then it's solve 3+ captchas because there's a forced failure rate. It's just too exhausting to do anything but lurk these days in neo-4chan if you don't want to become a paypig that gets their info leaked.

People always hated avatarfags, there's no reason to post your character anymore when everyone shits on you for it.

I'm starting to accept that Tera is dead and that there will never be another big private server
