wtf is wrong with EU servers today

[smokedelin]

Tera Eu.

GG Failforge.

If you wanna enchant you need to pay real money (is around 100/200 € per 100/200 MWA in shop, or stay all days farming 3 hours in LoT for 100 MWA (if you are lucky). If you wanna enchant to +12 you need around 600 MWA per piece because the rate IS SO FKING LOW. MES? Where? if you don't have TC you can't do ghilli...only if you pay in shop with real money. the rest instances? oh yes, if you are lucky you can get 4 MES per day. How many do you need for masterwork a piece? +200, or more, again success rate is really looow. Ok, mounts. In tera NA you can pay for that too but...you can buy a mount for all your characters! in EU? 90% of mounts are in RNG boxes. That's mean if you expend around 20€ in boxes, you can get an awsome zyrk, panacea or..oh yes a goddess blessing!...oh wait if you are lucky you can get a shitty mount for 30 for one character...YEAH! Tera club.13€ per month, 2 buff for ONE CHARACTER and for one hour....and nothing more, oh yes a mount. Federation bills. WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT? in tera EU doesn't exist, if you want's costumes, mounts, MWA you need to pay real money for that, or around 30-150k in game..cheap, uh? Events, yeah that's funny. We have around 1 event for year..and is something like free fashion coupon (20, WOW) per hour in game.

How many coupons you need for an armour? TERA NA 100-500. Tera EU 1000-5000 WHY? because of course, failforge sell coupons in Tera shop too.

Well, this is not all of the differences between EME and Failforge, but i guess is clear, failforge only want real money, didn't care if people has a good time playing, or something like that. Money money money GG fail forge, tera EU IS DEAD.

Rant incoming, my darlings. Sorry. :c Guess what, guess what! FAILforge finally brought the nurse costumes out. Yep, you read right. Only the nurse costumes. No police women or men. Just nurses. I'm surprised it's not only the Elin Versions of it to be honest. But hey, nurse costumes! Wait - there must be something bad with it? And it is! They come in random boxes! Like always. Though those are quite cheap for FAILforge (19 TT per box. 100 TT are round about 12,70 $), it's still quite impossible to get a costume out of them. You can get nearly every crap out of them boxes - I'm just waiting for level 1 weapons to come out of them to be honest. From canephora drinks over some crystals and other crappy drinks, you can get nearly everything you never wanted to buy with real money, like alkahest, crystal bind, soul bind, some scrolls and some dyes. And if you are lucky enough to get some costumes out - you still can have bad luck and it's just a 7-day version of it. I know I'm crying over spilled milk here and that it's worth nothing and won't change a thing. And if you're reading this whole thing, I want to thank you for being patient with my rant. But I swear to god I would have spend at least 100 Euro (127 $) MINUMUM JUST THE LAST 6 MONTHS for costumes and shit if there were no random boxes at all. Now I have spend... 25 Euro in 2 years? Yeah. So maybe I should thank FAILforge for saving my money. Rant over. Thanks ♥

Haven't posted much of my Tera lately

I'm sorry beloved followers. Lately I wasn't feeling all that well, there was a lot of emotional chaos and strange feelings, I got an art block, write block, basicly everything thats not cooking, sleeping and learning block. I played some Tera but not that much and when I played, I wasn't much into taking screens... I hope that I'll get some screens done this weekend, maybe even Rifts Edge hardmode screens if the raid's okay with that. Anyway, you can expect a rant soon concerning FAILforge aka Gameforge, the company managing Tera in Europe. There is a reason most players call them FAILforge and I swear, if they continue to put everything in random "surprise boxes", I'll quit the motherfriggin' EU servers. You may wonder what's so bad abou surprise boxes? Well. Just imagine you want a certain costume, let's just say the new 2014 swimwear. It's in a surprise box - means you buy a box and you'll get something random out of it with a friggin minimal percent chance to get the thing you wanted. You'll get a summer flower crown for example... Some useless crap like xp boosts you never wanted.... Canephora drinks.... If you're lucky you get a seven day version of the swimwear. After all, FAILforge is fucking slow with everything (we once had a daily server crash at 3:28 a.m. for like 2 weeks until they solved the problem), they only think about making cash (hence the surprise boxes) and their "customer service" is mainly copy and paste without reading the actual problem. ("My launcher crashes, I already did everything you guys pointed out in the forum" - "Look in the forum, there are some tips, try them")

3.1 Patch Notes @ GF

What followed was a heated discussion on the Aion EU official forums, which I'd like to represent here in a simplified form:

RandomPlayer1: These look a lot like the NA patchnotes.

CommunityManager: They're not the NA patchnotes.

RP2: There's a lot of stuff missing out of them too.

CM: They are not the NA patch notes. They just come from the same korean document.

RP3: What about features X, Y, Z that we know got implemented in NA?

CM: Idk. I really tried, but these notes are all you're getting.

Mod: Give the CM a break guys, she's doing her best.

RP4: So will we get feature X at all or not?

CM: Again, Idk. Maybe it was something that NA requested specifically from NCkorea. We don't know what NA does really.

Mod: I checked X on the testserver, yup we'll get it, don't worry.

CM: From what we've checked, the NA patchnotes fit what we'll be getting here in EU (except for the FTS of course, which we're not implementing because of our concerns over pvp fairness, or something). But those are not the patch notes I was told to share, so you're only officially getting what I posted already.

RP5: How about fixing that bug A that got into our EU release only because of GF's goldpack restriction model?

Mod: I don't think it was fixed, no.

---

I really don't know how to feel about this. Am I too demanding as their customer and be grateful that there's any EU servers at all? Aion is still fun of course, it's an awesome game.  Honestly, these patch notes are a very minor thing compared to all the other failures Gameforge has thrown at their playerbase already. Should we write more angry walls of text about GF not delivering anything properly again? Is there a point to expressing our sadness on their official forums, already packed full of negative vibes? How can one offer any constructive advice here, when even the CM gave up on trying to please the playerbase and offers "hey, I tried" as an excuse?

It's times like these that one can just wave their arms helplessly and go back to watering guestblooms.
