How do you get buddy codes? Just from pre ordering?

Anyone with an existing pre-order should have received an e-mail with buddy codes. I'm not sure if they are sending codes for new pre-orders.

Some skills gain haste when used in a chain and some skills charge twice as fast.

Thank you and DMPrince for answering.

So is there anyplace to see the chain benefits for a skill in-game? I didn't notice that.

The skills will say it on them *check each level some skills actually change up a bit as time goes on* Or check out the glyph vendors when you hit level 20.

[BlazingDarkness]

I've not received any buddy codes at all, which is a bit of a shame
If I do though I will post them for GAF

I've had mine pre-ordered for weeks now and I didn't receive any....:(

Yeah my brother just pre ordered it today, ask I was just wondering.

[ROBOKITTYZILLA]

Maybe there is some additional criteria in selecting who gets the e-mails or perhaps they are sending them out in waves.

[Ragingnight]

Wow this thread is moving pretty quick.

But yeah Tera is the only game to get me back to the mmo genre. Swtor was ass (imo), and Wow turned into a snoozefest.

The only big gripes I have is the bugged chat (that will be fixed hopefully), and the whole higher level lower drop rate rumor.

[sdarkshadow]

I'm in the same boat. Pre-ordered quite a while ago from their website and no buddy codes so far. Maybe it's limited to certain editions?
I'll post some here if they do come eventually.

Maintenance just are getting out so give it a few hours. they said scheduled emails will be sent out automatically when the maintenance is done. i know it only affects certain emails. but i'm sure this is included.

Waves probably. I pre-ordered the collector's edition a long time ago and haven't received any codes yet.

Good to see they are coming to their senses and adding more servers. Updated!

If I pre-order tomorrow do I still get in to the early access? I was going to a couple weeks ago but I forgot.

[DMPrince]

you should be able to.

[ROBOKITTYZILLA]

As long as you have an active pre-order account before head start begins, you should be fine. if there are any problems just send off a ticket to En Masse support and they will get you in.

They did this for many people that had issues getting their codes from retailers during the first closed beta.

[iRobotZombie]

Or contact Frogster (EU)

FYI if you are thinking of the EU version, head start begins 3pm GMT

[danno1769]

I was thinking about picking htis up but havent tested it out or seen a lot about it.

I played swtor.. got bored with lack of endgame and unfortunately fell back to WoW

Does this game have lasting apeal and good endgame?

[spandexmonkey]

Finished building my new pc, can't wait for Saturday. Throughout the beta the thing I've needed more than anything was access to alts.

[Projectjustice]

Not saying I'm important, but I'm someone who will not pay to play their game because of the outdated way to pay for it. Sell me hours to be used when I have time for it that do not expire if I decide to skip playing a day or two.

Then you should move to Korea.

[Visceir]

This may be a stupid question... but what is the purpose of Chaining skills? I only got to level 6 in the open beta, but a chained skill didn't seem to do any more damage than just using it normally.

Slayers have quite a few skills that cast faster when chained. There is a lvl 16 skill they get that can be chained right after pretty much any other skill you use and there is a glyph for it that gives you a chance to reset the cooldown on that skill half the time. By chaining I can just use skill after skill after skill...it'll probably show its use once you get more skills to play around with.

Archers are pretty much the same, one skill shortens the casting time of another and so on and so on.

Slayers also have a few glyphs that increase the damage of the next skill by 25% when chained. For example there is a glyph that will give you 25% more damage on fury strike when you use it after doing an evasive roll.

Kingdoms of amalur minus popping them up into the air for juggles http://youtu.be/RbWAbikupCw

oh shit, I had no clue this was like Kingdoms combat mixed with an MMO. This moved right onto my radar.

[KaYotiX]

man i cant wait for this weekend!!!!

great OT!!

[HixxSAFC]

Ever since I hit 55% the downloader has been slow as shit and hitting constant errors and I even turned p2p off :/

[Ryuuga]

Should I take the day off tomorrow? But I had enough of this week and want to just relax before Saturday from this point forward. What say you GAF? First sick day in many years.

You have my permission. Tell them so.....

Work won't miss you> if they do they'll just replace you with some other person!

I imagine that would just make the wait seem longer. If anything you should make monday the sick day.

[Desaan]

I got my buddy keys at midnight last night (GMT) and one left if anyone wants it.

PLEASE, quote this reply when you have taken they key.

You make a fantastic point. I was actually reconsidering tomorrow but I'd benefit from having Monday off much more. Thanks for the reply guys. Now back to mulling over the wait.

[kiunchbb]

Anyone have a extra buddy key that I can have? I want to try TERA, but not sure if I should drop $50 to it.

[Projectjustice]

I have 2 buddy keys left. Anyone want them?

I'm always willing to try out new games if you've got a spare key.

I....I shall use. Thank you friend. I can't wait to see the results. So far I've just been forcing MSAA 8X and disabled the light enrichment to have sharper visuals. I never liked how blurry the overall image got in order to smooth over the jaggies.

[nicoga3000]

Man, I haven't played a single game since Sunday. :( Need TERA.

[Desaan]

I could never get the SMAA to work after turning off the FXAA, still looked better anyway.

Are Mystics really better? Starting to feel like I've rolled the wrong healing class again. I remember FFXI my WHM became crappy after a while and I ended up healing as RDM or SMN main. On WoW I ended up on my Paladin and Druid more than my Priest.

The Mystic's buffs far outweigh the healing benefits of a Priest in competent parties.

Guess I'll end up with Mystic soon, hopefully the GAF guild on Dragonfall is incompetent :P

[BlazingDarkness]

Tera is awesome because you can go without a Priest at all in instances and against BAMs if you have the right tactics in play

[NeOak]

As a priest, that's soooooo encouraging... :/

[SwimmingwithChickenz]

Any White Lioin Mount pics surfaced yet? I did a quick search and couldn't find any. Mount looks sweet on the pre-order page.
