Hello, as some of you might know Frogster started censoring Tera so it can fit Pegi 12.
First move is removing blood from the game and it makes you wonder what will be their next move.
Players are not happy at all as you can see on their forums.
For this reason we started petition to bring back blood, and it would be huge help if you guys would sign it!

You can find it here: https://forum.tera-europe.com/showthread.php?t=64390&p=1342648#post1342648

They've not included blood?! That's outrageous and will completely destroy any possibility of the game being fun!

WHERE WILL THE MADNESS END!

Bunch of whiny bitches.

First the nipples, then the kiddy knickers, and now this.

Does this _actually_ matter from a gameplay perspective? Is blood important feedback or do the explosions and incredibly loud sound effects suffice? If it is such an issue, it's not like you have to play the European version.

It's quite obvious that gamers only discovered petitions about 3 weeks ago. Sick of seeing this whiney, entitled shite already.

You should launch a petition about it!

Maybe we could setup a Kickstarter to program the blood back in.

Thankfully the game won't see Christmas so there's no issue.

This is what happens when you play as a healer, nothing else gets noticed but them health bars

Press A, B, A, C, A, B, B on the account login screen to enable blood

While I never intended to buy it I was curious about the combat mechanics the EU publisher does appear to be amateur hour and that has spoiled more than a few MMOs I've played in the past.

Surely D, U, L, L, A, R, D is a better example?

It's a shit game, but from my brief betaering I could see that Frogster are looking to outclass even Codemasters as shitty MMO... eh... runner.

My campaign to make Frogster see sense and allow my kids to play has paid off. Good to see a dev that accepts some responsibility.

Ryan you a bad man :-)

It wouldn't be as bad if they just removed it. The way they did it was to change the colour from red to white. With extra bloom. So when you're travelling in the world you'll see these bright white mini-stars everywhere blooming in your face and flickering when the lightning system bugs while moving.

It looks much worse from far off when the bloom kicks in.

You know, Wizeon, I don't have an issue with that Elan (or whatever it is) race personally... but having one in your screenshot about censoring doesn't exactly help your case. Even if you're right (you are) that's still bad PR man.
