Tera has 3 game modes that have equalized gear (Gridrion, Corsairs Stronghold, and then the Kumas you mentioned) and only one two that are non-equalized outside of the weekly server wide pvp event. As for being complicated, yes there is a lot more going on and it takes a little bit of time investment to figure everything out, but most everything is easy to find. All of the min/maxing of stats that you need, which is slightly more in depth than "just get as much of everything as you can," skill rotation/priority orders, and all sorts of other guides are readily available to players, either through the player made essentialmana website or the class discords; which are similar to the BNS Academy Discord. The game is honestly more grind to win than pay to win. There are a few boxes that hit the store occasionally with mats in them...but even the pvp is just grind till you get enough mats and pray RNG is on your side upgrading. (The low RNG factor in BNS gearing is the main reason I play the game...) Also...only tanks are lacking in Tera and if anything, there are too may healers xD For a time, everyone and their dog had a healer alt because the gear req. to farm was so much lower.

It is better than before. Most are saying the rate got buffed. I got my first sometime after 50 clears, and the second shy of 70. I know one person that took 230 to get both and another that got both on their 5th run. RNG is RNG.

I came back to this game just before the Longgui event and needless to say, I could not make a dent in it. Just playing normal since and not spending money on gear, I upgraded enough to easily pull the 1m req. for this event... Nothing in the event is pay to win. It's just if you know your class and have put enough time in to farm your gear. If you are having troubles, make sure to upgrade your accessories (everyone whines about the weapon...). They are a much better dps boost than weapon anyways. Divinity/Dragon Bracelet from Hong and Prophecy from Mao are a massive boost from the base junk you get from the story line xD (And VT neck). Neither require super high dps or even a party to farm.

Speak for yourself please. Stale content kills games as easily or even worse than poor performance. Best regards, A part of the BNS community :D

In all honesty...given this games history with botting and how badly abused the newly added fishing system is in Tera (by afk fishing programs)...I am glad to see that Fishing was not made too op...Rewards could be a little better, just so long as they are not toooo strong, while still being good for players and not for gold sellers xD Just for context...players in Tera use fishing programs to both make large amounts of gold daily and to level their characters and ability stats...which on one hand removes the need to farm really bad content...but is also an unfair advantage over people that don't use botting programs...

Ranged classes have this thing called range :D That being said KFM are hella annoying qwq
