It's not about the nipples....the point is they are censoring the game period, they are only digging their own grave with the eu/us release, glad i stuck with the korean version and the english patch!
Mystifies me why some fight so hard for the right to see less clothed ellin and nipples in games.
I mean...if they are there so be it... but to actively argue and fight for nipples to be shown and ellin to be made more naked?
Just weird to me.
I am against cenorship that is used to control, enable lies, and restrict education, but it can also be used to protect. Not all censroship is bad, only the blinkered think that.
Censoring models that some find child like because of the very real issue desensitisation of child sexulaisation, for example, is valid enough not to alarm or shock me.
Is the game now less fun because you can't see ellin ass and nipples?
Mehif they wanna see elin ass and nipples just wait for the hentai fanart to come out, because we all know it'll be coming eventually.
Rule 34: there is porn of it, no exceptions.
Rule 34a: if there is no porn of it, it will be created by someone.
Being a pessimist is a win-win pattern of thinking. If you're a pessimist (I'll admit that I am!) you're either:
A. Proven right (if something bad happens)
or
B. Pleasantly surprised (if something good happens)

It doesn't affect any gameplay so meh ...don't really care.
There are plenty of real thing in real life and they are easy to come by.
really? So it's cool by you if they showed hardcore porn and drug abuse on kids TV at 3pm daily?
I am not for censoring something from its original state / art form to appeal to *people* who think a nipple in a mature rated game is the decline of western society as we know it.
no where did I say anything about kids watching porn at 3pm.
*edited to remove juvenile flaming for clarity*
No, you said you are 'not for censorship in any way'.
By that standard you are for the free showing of any and all material, regardless of content or intent, at all times of day on all mediums.
Your statement was extremely clear. Throwing insults around dosen't change that.
All I was asking you for, really, was to define what is 'acceptable' censorship to you, because I assume you don't really mean that 'all' censorship is a bad thing.
Funny that a simple question made you react in such a hostile way though.
It's funny because the game is already on a Mature 17+ rating so any argument based on children seeing stuff is irrelevant (unless the parents aren't checking the ratings of the games purchased for his kids but then this spins the fault to the parents, the rating is there for a reason).
They could have gone with filters instead of plain censorship, but instead they seem to prefer the path of censorship as seen in the lying and locking on forum threads. Not a good attitude on the overall context, even if you don't care (yet keeps posting against) about the issue this attitude is being revealed who's to say the same won't be done when it is about an issue you care about?

It's their game. They can do what they like. Being a player, either play it the way they host it or leave the game. very simple. they are providing a service and no one is forced to sub to the service.

Sorry if I came across as hostile and " juvenile". But when you take a conversation about a video game and turn it into " you condone kids watching porno" what do you expect?
Hmmm...I guess some people just need to see everything. Though I don't think censoring something as tiny as nipples is really a bad thing and wouldn't have been done without good reason.
Even though TERA is rated M for ages (17+ and older), you know that in the US - kids way younger are going to play TERA or any other game in the same manner. It's not like Korea in where they have laws in place to prevent kids younger than 18 (minors) play certain rated games of any kind (shutdown law, Cinderella law). Usually most of this is prevented through parental guideance and regulation of rules set in idividual house holds, no law will prevent or really decrease an addicts crave for pleasure and entertainment.
Even though most of what gaming is fantasy and unrealistic, having some sort of censorship is indeed welcome. I'm for it. If it bothers people that much, they're plenty of other places to see things like that...or better yet get a girl-friend..Hah j/k..
Maybe an option should be added for such things, like a check box for censored or not.. Then everyone would be happy.

I agree, but the fact remains they ARE parents.
Let's hear your plan on authorizing who can and can't be parents.
hehe yeah... lets.
Kinda funny that the people that are against others censoring nipples feel able to declare who else is a fit parent or not
So your solution is to cencor everything to infant level so unattended kids may not get their hands in inapprorpiate material? {mod edit}
Everything is safer now.

Ya, those were my exact words, you got it.
Com'on it could be worst, they could have censored out all the camel toes and stray pubic hairs.
Hear that? ....That's the sound of lots of beta players logging back in to check.

Either way, you can't lose! Try it out sometime!

LOL this is the best response. It is scary when people care about digitized nips in a game.
Grim Dawn, the next great action rpg!

And thats why Korean MMOs are Bad, people care about ¨nipples¨ and not quality gameplay and content.
Lol, I just want to play a pacman clone where I play as a giant floating nipple.

You know someone will photoshop that for you in no time...pacman with nipple eye LOL
Sometimes I think people in west play eastern mmos just because they like hentai.

Lets just wait for a patch that brings back the nipples....

If this is true then I think its very funny that they spend manpower to erase nipples lol.
I wonder if they hired an intern for this job and what the jobdescription would be.
nipples terminator
Except EME didn't change the nipples. KTera does not have nipples on their female races either.
