Disclaimer: I will be directly translating the GM Note from KTERA on Nexon word-for-word as much as possible, so the original writer is not related to Essential Mana. However, I will provide my own comments in PINK to point out some parts people may misunderstand or have no idea what it is talking about.

Hello. This is Developer KoomKoon.

Have you been enjoying Tarski’s Playground?

This time I’ve brought a new Battleground “Kumas Playground” to share with everyone.

I will now show you what this new, easy and enjoyable battleground would be like.

[What do you do in Kumas Playground?]

TERA have been continuously attempting to create a casual battleground. The TERA team have been concerned about how to create a PvP content that can be leaned easily while having fun.

As a solution, Kumas Playground was created.

(A Casual Battleground Where Everyone Becomes Kumas to Battle)

Any character at level 20 and above can participate in Kumas Playground through Battleground matching.

Upon entering, everyone turns into Baby Kumas regardless of level.

When the gate opens after 30 seconds, there will be a Kumas sitting down ahead. That is the Boss Kumas.

Pressing F key in front of this Boss Kumas will turn you in to Boss Kumas, receiving greater powers.

However, greater power comes with greater responsibility. The goal of this Battleground is this Boss Kumas.

To be precise, you must eliminate the opposing team’s Boss Kumas.

Eliminate the Boss Kumas in 5 minutes, or have its HP lower than your team’s Boss Kumas to win,

and the team must win 2 times for victory.

(Eliminate the Red Boss Kumas.)

One more thing to be aware is the Healing Crystals that appear in the middle of the map.

The character that destroys this Crystal (whoever hits it last to break it) will receive an Aura of Healing that heals allies nearby.

Take advantage of the battle by breaking these crystals.

(You can heal your allies with Healing Aura.)

(Note: Metallic debris on the bottom left is the Healing Crystal, baby Kuma with Healer marker on top is the one with buff. The immersion AoE is the healing aura. )

[What do we get when we play Kumas Playground?]

Since Kumas Playground is a dungeon available to level 20 to 65,

The rewards will be given appropriately based on the level.

Level 64 and below will receive 100% XP boost (1 day) and large amount of EXP,

Level 65 will receive much higher Reputation Credits (Bellicarium, Killing Spree) compared to Corsair’s Stronghold.

(Note: Yes, Credits. The kind you spend to buy stuff from Bellicarium/Killing Spree merchants.)

[Afterwords]

TERA is always trying to bring a fun, refreshing experience by providing various contents.

We hope that the players of TERA will enjoy Kumas Playground, and I will now conclude the introduction.

Thank you.
