BHS New Road Map for TERA

TERA New Content Update
Starting last April 20th, Blue Hose studios came out with a large scale road map of what the future holds for Tera starting with the unveiling of "Dooms of Talon". Now BHS will update what that future road map will be.
The future road map with consist of Four major updates starting in Q3 2011 and continuing in the next coming months.
1) Fragments of a Dream
2) Dark Crevices
3) Daughter Oia
4) Giving up the Ark
Fragments of a Dream Patch
- Item Enhancements
- Production of Rare Material
- Getting fragments from a new Top Dog's dream and Shara.
This is just an intro that will introduce a new New Top Dog (New Titian ?) and his dreams contain the essence of Tera. Using these "Dream Shards" a guild can open up a "Black Crevice" to port them to other Servers to PVP. Other Servers will be able to take over town/Citys and change the dyamic of the world. (Sort of how Rift's NPC are able to take over towns and settlements.)
To balance out the power, the server matching will change depending on how many "Dream Shards" guilds have collected on a server. Shown below...
Dream Shards can also be used to produce's more guaranteed results from crafting, sealing/resealing system, and item enhancement. Dream Shards will also have other unique features player will have to discover.
BHS has decided to put PVP/ Guld warfare before PVE for the time being, so Guild Halls/Housing will be scraped for the time being, while the PVE dungeons content will be pushed back to a later date.
Dark Crevices Patch
-This is BHS introduction of Dynamic Content.
The Argon have gotten a hold of Dream Shards, and are able to make their own Black Crevice's. Throughout the world of Tera Black Crevice's are will be spewing everywhere, either from another invading server, or invading Argon's NPC's hell bent on taking over town and settlements.
This Black Crevice Dynamic system is exactly like Rifts Dynamic system, either other servers will come through or Argon NPC's will come and invade and take over the server.
Also this patch will introduce the prison system, other members may be forced into prison. More details to come. (They didn't talk much about this at all)
Daughter Oia Patch
Due to the massive invasions and use of Dream Shards, the Top Dogs and Arunn and Shara's dream begins to shatter! This shatter creates a new world, called Agaia. Agaia will be a open World PVP RVR with multiple forts, each fort will have it's own instance for the winning server. With up to 4 servers to be able to participate in. There will also be super Bams and resources to compete over.
(Sounds just like Aion's Abyss to me...lol)
Other servers will come together and compete for RVR warfare.
Giving up the Ark Patch
Scheduled for later into 2012, the shattered dream begins to expand. What will the future of Tera behold ? A new area above Agaia emerges with mobile cities, the largest being Juras Ark.
Servers will be able to occupy Juras Ark and it's mobile cities through peaceful political means. But Guilds who occupy these mobile cities can declare war and thus these cites can be taken though PVP. More instances come from these cities.
A new Class will be introduced and new mount. Plus a new continent.
Conclusion
Due to the new Tera Update BHS has now posted a new road map.
Fragments of a Dream to come out Q.3, (it's actually the next patch)
Black Crevices and Daughter of Oia Q.4 winter/2012.
Giving up the Arch spring/summer 2012
We at BHS are listening to the cries of lack of content, and we hope in the next coming months we will be able to give you a game you will be proud of. We know that there is demand for more PVE dungeons, and a PVE raid and will take it into account for future updates into the future.
Thanks
Comments
Are they still following this plan? This seems awesome with tons of great player-generated content with capturable cities and bases.
I hope so because right now its a bit out of order because we got the Black Crevices. which is the nexus.
So i'm hoping we get Fragments of a Dream and Daughter of Oia because they are kinda related as in Server vs Server.
And than ark probably last but from it i guess Ark will be our siege.
Also its not new since its was like 7month ago lol
This is old info (if you check the link you will see its dated: 2011-09-16 01:48). Some of that info has already been added and some of it will be added in the 2nd part of the last patch they had.
Velika: City of Wheels: Among the mortal races, the humans were the only one that never built cities or great empires; a curse laid upon them by their creator, Gidd, forced them to wander as nomads for twenty centuries...
Wow talk about a necro thread..lol
This was posted last summer and was the vision that BHS had for Tera. I know things have had a minor setback. YH Park left BHS around this time, and a new director Dong-gun Lee took over. So their has been some change of plans.
But I know from Lee that he is still working from YH Park's original vision of TERA, and adding in his own flavor. So things might change abit from that original vision.
But this vision is still in BHS future plans.
just this feature blows already most mmos
hands down bluehole keep up constant updates
all these content i read and ppl still think tera should be a f2crap game lol...get real ppl
its not a "vision" they working as we speak
Didn't even notice it was a necro sorry lol, i just saw someone posted it and assumed it was recent o.-
Also ya pretty much, now only do you have a instanced based SvSvSvS, which is like GW2 only its 4 way than 3 way more the better right =P (jk puts on anti-flame suit) But you also get a OWPVP server vs server where you can to invade other server and take over their towns, now idk about you guys but thats like FUCKING amazing, i can just imaging the fighting it would be lol, where not even towns are safe zones any more >=D only problem is they got to fix the collison issue in town. Maybe you colloid with all enemy model while in towns/safe zones that could work.
Also the Arch is like seige so thats nice too ^_^
This thread is hilarious.
It's so old it's funny.
Shows you how you can't trust Bluehole when they are 1 year behind their schedule. This announcement was made in july 2011 and nothing except rifts (copied from RIFT) were introduced (and they still need to work on them since at the moment they are so laggy they are almost unplayable).
Instead we even got no battleground until end of Q3.
This is why you can't trust marketing scam.
So almost very other company is a merketing scam? I hope you realise many games, speically one that doesn't have heavy funding behind (even those that does), fall behind on things. Also its a road map, what they hope they can achieve, its not like o these will be put in game by xx than xx day come and o sorry we aren't done. Thats marketing scam, giving player a general overview? Hell tons of game do that are they all marketing scam?
You guys know there losing the lawsuit in korea right? If they lose there then tera will be bye bye.
On another not EVERYTHING they are talking about adding is already in other games so none of this is new content per say. Also most of this won't work with there current game setup.
Umm maybe you should get your facts strait. The lawsuit in Korea is over and BHS was found not guilty.
Yes it's scam because the good companies don't make such claims "we will have this awesom X at day y"
They work in silence, don't make such claims and make their work speaks for themselves.
This was out july 2011 and look how much they managed to do in almosty a year: they just copied the rifts.
That announcement was made because of marketing. Tera's launch was a disaster in Korea, players were ragequitting in droves in the first months and they needed something to make people stay "see guys? don't leave us. See how many awesome things you will have in the next few months?".... not.
You should trust only what's already implemented ingame not marketing scam.
We at BHS are listening to the cries of lack of content, and we hope in the next coming months we will be able to give you a game you will be proud of. We know that there is demand for more PVE dungeons, and a PVE raid and will take it into account for future updates into the future.
BTW i can read this announcement after almost a year and this is really funny
BHS has decided to put PVP/ Guld warfare before PVE for the time being, so Guild Halls/Housing will be scraped for the time being, while the PVE dungeons content will be pushed back to a later date.
Instead they focused on more pve content and only recently they decided to rework the battlegrounds. So much for"Tera is a pvp game" claim.
Or maybe you should. One lawsuit is over and the former ncsoft developers were found guilty.
The 5.8 million $ civil lawsuit is still going on.

Sigh....

inform yourself beforehand the next time.
Err no please inform yourself, EME has posted an offical response which i'll find the damn link in a bit. but here what it said:
"Over the last couple of years, we've been working to release TERA. We're close to getting the job done right, as TERA closed beta test players can attest. But since February, we've been subjected to entirely too much innuendo related to a lawsuit filed against our startup by NCsoft in the United States—a suit that seems designed to disrupt the launch of TERA in North America. The latest round of that innuendo even goes so far as to try to drag in a separate case that was brought in Korea not against Bluehole, but against certain former employees of NCSoft.
In the event you've read the court filings here in the US, you'll find that they're remarkably easy to read for legal documents; they certainly appear to have been written with an eye toward public opinion. NCsoft is a billion-plus dollar corporation, so they can afford to have a team of high-priced lawyers spin out reasonable-sounding documents. These baseless accusations have led to unfounded rumors, which is disappointing and unfair. But that doesn’t mean the rumors are true.
It is no surprise that the latest spin on the story has it that "TERA is guilty." That is wrong. For the record, after extensive Korean proceedings, Bluehole Studio was NOT found to have made any use of any NCsoft trade secrets in the form of source code or game design. In fact, TERA didn’t even exist when the Korean case against the former NCsoft employees arose, and neither did En Masse Entertainment. In Korean civil proceedings, Bluehole was also found NOT to have been responsible for the exodus of NCsoft developers.
What is a fact: If you're a legal scholar, you'll note that NCsoft hasn't filed a motion (known as an injunction) here in the US to prevent the launch of TERA. That's kind of surprising, because their legal documents originally said they would supposedly suffer grievous harm if TERA is launched.
Another fact: If you read NCsoft’s complaint, they actually admit that their motive in bringing the suit is to prevent Bluehole and En Masse from competing with them: "Since the release of TERA in Korea, NCsoft's Lineage sales and market share have declined, as have sales and market share of other NCsoft products."
To our fans and followers, we want to let you all know that we are not going to let a corporate bully or baseless rumor mill derail us from focusing our efforts on delivering TERA to you on May 1, 2012. "
Now where the link go.
If anyone is interested I found this link, about the suit:
NCSoft Complaint
It gets particularly interesting around page 8. I'm not a huge fan of NCSoft, but I have to admit that once I started reading that page I thought I was reading about TERA. When I realized my mistake, I was like 'holy shit', they actually do have a very legitimate claim here.
It's going to definitely be an uphill battle for BH/EME on this.
I saw the official statement EME made, but I've also seen official statements that say the exact opposite. I wouldn't trust what either developer says when it comes to a court-case. It's best to find the official statement directly, and not via the participating parties. Even a third party would likely give you better info that a statement issued by NCSoft or BH/EME directly.
I am very informed thank you very much, and that article is a bold face lie. I even reported as such in a similar topic a week ago. Ncsoft has been paying western websites to publish these lies to try and give Tera in a bad light.
A lower court found BHS guilty and had to pay 5.6 million. But in a appeal those charges were dropped and now just recently the supreme court of korea upheld that decision.
Why..
Because as much as you all like to spin it, Bluehole and Enmasse did not exist when this lawsuit started, so they can not be sued of anything. Not now, not ever, it is why BHS won the appeal and won in the Supreme Court.
So the Supreme court had no choice but to go after the individuals, instead of the company. They charged YH Park and 2 former Ncsoft employees 2 billion won each. Which is exactly the grand total of 5.6 million US NCsoft was seeking, and they got 1 year prison terms with 2 years probation.
I reported it here..
http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/game/477/view/forums/thread/347293/Korean-Supreme-Court-lay-charges.html
and it was confirmed by EME here...
http://www.enmasse.com/blog/posts/bluehole-studio-not-guilty-in-trial
Wow... I think I'm actually a little disgusted with NCSoft right about now.
Care to say where there are offical statment claiming opposite of what EME made? Also unless a legal anlyist want to read and explain it to us, its pretty pointless. Because lega paper aren't general population friendly, unless you study law your not going to know where the fck the thing is heading.
I thought people where disgusted by NCSoft before this trial even existed o.o
Yeah because it's really objective to post the EME respons that btw just validate my post.
They just said TERA was not found guilty... the people who made it were guilty. Well.. way to play with words.
FACTS
1) NCSoft won its lawsuit against their former developers (it was supreme court it cannot be overruled)
2) there is still a civil lawsuit going on
Enmasse can bs all they want but all their words can't change these facts. What you posted was just marketing to reassure fans/customers that the legal troubles the game has in Korea won't have much impact in Notrh America. And that's the only part that's kinda true.
Btw you can see how much Enmasse are talking bs from "Since the release of TERA in Korea, NCsoft's Lineage sales and market share have declined, as have sales and market share of other NCsoft products." Lineage... well good job in a years old game having a decline. Aion is still number one in Korea.
http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/05/17/ncsoft-increases-profits-maintains-revenues/
They even increased profits in the Q1 2011 when Tera came out. and overall ncsoft situation looks just fine and completely unrelated to how Tera is doing.
http://www.kdbdw.com/bbs/download/155585.pdf?attachmentId=155585
After all Tera is a niche game and wasn't even a finacial success how can it have any impact on a giant Ncsoft? Ncsoft is just bitter about the theft.
And rightfully so since the former developers were found guilty. Of course ... i would be angry too if someone steals my own property.
So stop believing every marketing scam Enmasse feed you. Inform yourself
Yeah because i will really trust a forum member that's telling me that Ncsoft is paying western websites to publish lies to try to give Tera a bad reputation.
Awwwright
Do you have any proof? any link to back it up? any source?
Of course not.
Well, a copy of the NCSoft complaint (in pdf form) exists in the link I provided in my last post. I didn't find it that hard to follow, and I'm not a lawyer. Granted, I skipped over large parts of it. Much of it explains what exactly an 'mmo' is, what goes into making one, and why BH's actions are so damaging.
However, starting on page 8 they really make their specific claims. Again, it's not a contract, and the complaints are pretty straight forward. They show some of the L3 assets and compare them to TERA's, and.. I have to say, If I didn't do a second read through, I wouldn't have known which game was which. They look extremely similar, and the castanics, popori, and elin races are particularly incriminating. Not to mention other things that seem entirely too coincidental.
Now, I haven't seen the physical evidence, and I'm not following the trials in person, so EME may have an equally good claim. Hard to say. Sounds like the Korean trial went through many iterations, and I honestly don't know who actually won which suit, as each company seems to be claiming the exact opposite of one another, and the only 'official' source I've seen mentioned is in korean (I can translate it, but I don't trust that for something like this). I've also heard it mentioned that the primary reason why BH studios didn't get sued in korea was because the lawsuit was filed before the company existed. However, that won't be the case in the U.S. If that was their smoking gun, they're going to need some pretty damn good firepower to get out of this one.
Please dont derail this thread into yet another law suit forum piñata.
Let's keep to the "road map"
Maybe this july we will have a new one.
You really area annoying....
As I already said to you once, if you don't like Tera don't play it. You dislike Tera, you dislike Frogster, you dislike BH... and still you want to play this game.
Everyone one of your post is full of bitterness, like BH stole from you instad of NCSoft.
