The action MMO Tera is managed by Gameforge in Europe, who are now gaining points with players with a patch.
At the moment, maintenance is taking place for Tera EU. It is expected to last until 1:00 PM. The patch currently being deployed brings the Arcane Engineer, we have extensively talked about this new class in recent weeks.
A change to the masterpiece alkhasts is now at the center of the discussion. They are needed in the game to “plus” high-level equipment: a typical mechanic in Asian games. And regarding these things (MWA, as the community abbreviates them), there has been a lot of trouble in recent months. The accusation was made that Gameforge is deliberately stingy with them, making it very laborious to earn them. The intent behind it seemed clear: Gameforge wanted to sell more of them in the shop and extract more money from the players. In North America, with En Masse, it is said to be better, according to a prevalent opinion in the Tera community.
With today’s patch, Gameforge aims to ensure a “basic provision of masterpiece alkhasts.” They want to give players the opportunity to earn MWAs in various areas of the game and not just in difficult instances like before. Now players can also earn MWAs in the “non-equalized” Battleground Canyon of Honor, i.e., in PvP.
According to Gameforge, these are the main principles of the changes:
-
The Labyrinth of Terror and its first three officers as well as other opponents now have more alkahests with them.
-
The reputation vendors of the Vanguard Initiative now offer (400 credits) a box with masterpiece alkahest that includes 15 veteran masterpiece alkahests guaranteed, as well as an additional 2 to 50 veteran masterpiece alkahests randomly.
-
Another battleground (15v15, balanced armor, party search for 1-5 players) now has the same rewards as the already unbalanced version!
-
A new badge is now included as a reward in selected instances and battlegrounds and can be exchanged for valuable items such as complete crystal bindings.
The fans are cautiously satisfied at the moment. However, they want to experience the changes in practice first before bursting into cheers. You can find the announcement from Gameforge with the exact changes here.
