TERA update letter hints at 2013 dungeon, battleground, and more
En Masse community manager Catherine "Minea" Park has published a new post on TERA's official website. The letter serves as a recap for the game's 2012 updates as well as a brief preview of what to expect from the world of Arborea in 2013. First up is the new Crucible of Flame dungeon, followed by Champions' Skyring which is a three-on-three battleground that restricts the use of consumable items. En Masse will also be implementing two new reputation factions, and crafting and gathering will be "streamlined and simplified a bit by decreasing the amount and number of different ingredients needed to craft among other changes."

TERA PvP battlegrounds won't be in at launch, delayed until 'late summer'
TERA fans who were looking forward to proving their mettle in PvP battlegrounds at launch are in for a bit of disappointment. En Masse community manager Minea stopped by the forums a few days ago to give fans an update on the game's development, and in doing so, revealed that battlegrounds will not be in the game when it launches in May. But before you take to the forums to kick up a frenzy (please don't), keep in mind that just because battlegrounds won't be available at launch doesn't mean that they're not in the works. Minea goes on to announce that battlegrounds are planned to be added to the game "late this summer." We hope that the extra development time will allow battlegrounds to be nice and polished when they finally hit the live servers. Until then, though, players will have to make do with open-world PvP and guild-vs-guild battles.
