In a few weeks, the second part of the Free2Play MMO TERA will be released for the Fate of Arun expansion. To give players a taste of the content, information about the new patch will be released regularly. This time, it’s the “The Flying Airship” dungeon that is up next.
A video provides insights into the new “Hardcore Dungeon,” which is designed for 5 players and, according to EnMasse, will come in both variants: Normal and Hardmode. In this instance, players will face a total of 4 bosses, with whose loot the heroes of Arborea can obtain the best weapons and equipment.
Above the Clouds…
“High into the skies” seems to be the motto of this patch. Not only the guild castles are expected to arouse desires high above the clouds, but the treasures of the latest dungeon are also located in the sky, on a flying warship. The players’ task here is not to adorn a new home, but to prevent the launch of a very dangerous, advanced weapon. Because all the firepower is directed at the Baraka capital Heightswatch.
According to the developers, this Hardcore Dungeon connects to Manayas Core and the Abcess in Hardmode. It’s a real tough challenge, featuring entirely new mechanics that focus on team play and player reactions. Presumably, players will need a few more attempts. Whether it’s going to be dozens like back in Manayas Core (HM) remains to be seen.
Release Date Fate of Arun Part 2
As previously reported, the content update will be released in this country at the end of February or at the latest at the beginning of March. The flying airship will not be the only dungeon. With the Abyss of Bathysmal in hard mode and a new version of the canals, there will be a total of 3 different instances.
The highlight is the flying, customizable guild castles, which can be obtained through a competitive guild competition. Also noteworthy are the new enchantment levels. It will be possible to give one’s equipment another upgrade – going from +12 up to +15. Weapons will also receive new visual effects.
For more information about this update and especially about the guild castles, you can find it in our previous post: TERA: When will Guild Housing come? A little glimpse into the future.
TERA Roadmap for Early 2015
After that, of course, things will continue, and the responsible parties have already given a glimpse into their cards:
- Players can expect a tower dungeon for 5 players that spans over 20 levels. The goal is to reach the top of the tower, but it will get harder with each level (The developers surely have a weakness for heights!)
- The Arcane Gunner, a new class that can be played by female Castanic and High Elves (The developers surely have a weakness for female characters!)
These contents are expected to be released between the end of March and the end of April.
And what is happening in Korea? What might come to us in the medium term?
- The Berserker class can switch roles and be played as a tank
- New battlefield in 15vs15 deathmatch mode
- As always, new instances with creative challenges, including a new version of Kaprima
- A mysterious 10-man raid around Saleron
