#tera console

Since when did teraconsole get outfits before anyone else?

Alright, I played the xbox version of Tera for about an hour today at the EME meetup at PAX. During this time I also got to talk with EME staff and I figured I’d share some info:

Patches/Changes (TERA PC)

Enchanting changes patch - They’re aiming for an October/November release

They mentioned a new build in September but didn’t really go into it so it’s probably minor (?)

In a few weeks, they’re going to be announcing a timeline for upcoming patches. They said that most players know that there is content coming due to KTERA but they want players to have some kind of idea of when to expect changes

Elin gunner - aiming for release Winter 2017, they didn’t touch on if it would be temporary like it is in KTERA but I’m sure they won’t/can’t change that.

Human male brawler - expected around ~4-6 months after Elin gunner

Tera Console

They are aiming for a release around the end of 2017, but they said that they are not sure if they will meet that. They estimated it’s around 65%+ done and they said it’s the first time BHS has worked with consoles so it’s a long process with a lot of trial and error.

NOT cross platform - so if you play on the console version, you won’t be able to play with people that are on PC.

Voice Chat is built in, with the standard options to mute yourself, other players, and all of that jazz

Emotes are almost exactly like overwatch - they’re on a circle type thing and you flick your control stick in the direction of the emote you wanna use (though you can also bind them to your skillbar if you’d like)

There will be achievements (as in PS/Xbox achievements) on top of the preexisting ingame ones. Due to conflicts with microsoft and to avoid confusion, in-game achievements are now called “Feats”

The server for the console release will be cloud based (not in Chigaco like the PC servers) in the hopes that it will help with performance and latency and make the console experience as smooth and equal as possible

All classes but Valkyrie are expected to be available immediately at launch. They said the console version will start out a few patches behind PC Tera but they will release Valk patch/other updates after the initial launch of the console version.

Dressing room removed. They made it sound like it wouldn’t be in the console version at all but that seems like an odd choice so maybe they meant it just wasn’t in the game yet/in our demo.

New “target” system - if you hover your cursor over a boss (probably works for any enemy) and press the right stick, it’ll put a glow (kinda like a runemark) on that enemy and you will “auto target”. It turns your camera to face that and whatnot. I didn’t get to experiment with this too much but I’m not sure it’s fully working yet. Also it’s reaaaally bright right now but they said they’re going to make it more subtle.

The demo classes were slayer, sorc, and lancer. They said as of right now healers don’t really work completely on consoles because they’re trying to create a targeting system for them to help with lock-ons (?). They said something about scrolling through a list of names to target the person you’re going to heal but I may have misunderstood because that seems cumbersome, hah. 

Happy because I find Tera can be played in consoles.

So far, here are some of my favorite screenshots of Esume from the past few months.

By the way, I’m just a lad who enjoys playing Tera because of the cosmetics and perhaps due to the actual gaming mechanics as well. I partake in a bit of PvP, yet I’m not too skilled yet. I main A-stance in PvP, and I can serve as a tank and a DPS member in dungeons.
