The Tera Loot Box chance saw a big change back in 2020. The studio not only made changes to the loot boxes but also a few other things such as passive skills. Here is what the studio brought in for that update.
Tera Loot Box Chance – The Changes
A couple of years ago, En Masse Entertainment gave players an update that brought in several changes. Among the big changes in the update was the loot boxes. At that time, the change was as a ”systemic refresh” of the system that was in place.
The update basically gave players the confirmation that the system would remove any guaranteed items. In addition, random consumables would also be gone with the update. The new system replaces those items with Modular Chests. These chests/loot boxes will include items that can be put to use by the player immediately.
That’s not all, the studio also gave players the confirmation that percentages would be shown for the chances of pulling an item. Each chest has a name and that name is for the item that will be part of it. The studio also said the chests would be available for trade immediately, in case they want to free up inventory or not spend time opening for an item they don’t want to have.
Tera Loot Box Chance – Controversy & More
Loot boxes have been a controversial part of video games for years now. The system has not only been banned in some countries but some players constantly criticize studios and companies behind games for featuring them.
Some companies and studios such as the one behind TERA have recently made changes to make the system more transparent. Another example of loot box/microtransaction changes is FIFA. The popular series of futbol video games from EA has gone with a different system in recent editions after a ton of controversy.
FIFA’s Ultimate Team mode, which features loot boxes in the form of player packs, now displays a preview of the pack. The preview is only available once per day for that specific player pack on the store. But it gives the player a look on what they will get if they spend their coins or real money on that pack. Before this change, players could only hope to get lucky while opening a pack.
Other games also show the odds of getting items through a loot box. One example is Respawn’s and EA’s Apex Legends. The packs show info on the chances of getting a rare, epic, or legendary item. Respawn has also given all the info on the odds of the heirloom and other packs found through limited time events and store rotations.
Other Changes From the TERA Update
The loot box system was not the only thing that saw changes in TERA during the April 2020 update. The patch also brought in several skill balance adjustments, including new passive skills for a number of classes. Current skills at that time also saw adjustments. In other words, the early 2020 update was massive, featuring loot box adjustments and tons of changes to the actual multiplayer game.
TERA PC – Bad News
The PC version of TERA got bad news earlier this year when Gameforge said servers were going to shut down in June 2022. However, it seems like the console version is still available for players around the world.
TERA still appears on the PS Store, which is a good sign. A quick search on the internet also suggests that the shut down is for the PC version of the game. Most of the posts mention that the PC and console versions are from different studios, with the console side still active on the title. A November 2020 update brought in cross-platform between Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
TERA made its debut for PC back in 2011, later switching to a free to play model. In March 2017, the game had more than 25 million users around the world. The PS4 and Xbox One, which were the first consoles to get the game, had about two million players in early 2018.
