TERA |OT| F2P starting in February! Were you expecting a parade?
- Thread starter ROBOKITTYZILLA
- Start date
So...
I had fun. Yeah this more fun than I had during my initial foray into GW2. If I'm going to grind quests for hours on end I'd rather do it with a fun combat system than a boring one.
TERA loses handily to GW2 in terms of narrative, world building and quest design but has far better graphics, a superior combat system and more incentive to group up, which is what MMOs are all about

It is a shame you have to get to the low-mid 30s before you kill those crabs. That experience just changed this game from "this game is really cool and I think my friends would like it" to "this game is AMAZING and all of my friends are idiots for not playing it" for me.

So I made a popori lancer and I'm really enjoying him so far. However, is this going to be a problem later in terms of a smaller hotbox (I'm thinking for healing) and reach? Or is it not much different?
Fucking work and shit I'm only 37 and I've got more work tomorrow and then the servers go down right as I'll be getting home tomorrow FUCK
Send a whisper to "Arveene" tomorrow asking for an invite to the guild, tell him I sent you. Preview of a couple later areas for those who are on the fence about buying it still.

Okay so I was told that lancers shouldn't use controllers to be efficient tanks? Is that true?
I'm trying to have a go at keyboard and mouse but its all so manual feeling compared to a controller

I might grab this later today and poke around some more. The quests in beta were pretty terrible but I enjoyed the combat; seems like it might be one of those games that in a group should be fun to mess with. Wasn't big on the Priest class I tried really but Warrior was really engaging (though I hear they've changed the class since I played, hopefully they still work roughly the same).
Level. The higher level you get, the more money seems to drop in dungeons, and the more you get from quests. It is very apparent in this game, and eventually even 50g will start to be trivial (or so I've read).
Not terrible, not Shadow of the Colossus. I think the music is better once you get off the starting island, personally.
I kind of pop to TERA threads once in a while but I never felt an overwhelming interest in it, from my MMO experiances, pretty = no substance, but from what I read it didn't fall into that trap this time. It's hard to tell from the videos, but how actiony is it compared to like PSO2? I assume some people should have played both.
Edit: Or I guess to people who didn't play PSO2, something like Dark Souls then, with blocking, dodging and attack timing being more important than level to some extent or another. That was always what kept me away from actiony MMOs, there was always a huge emphasis on level over skill and they might has well have been turn based then.

Call me crazy, but is this the most technically impressive use of Unreal Engine 3 to date? I'm talking a full fledged game here, not tech demos. This game looks gorgeous on a technical and artistic level.

How demanding is the game to run? I see the reccomended specs aren't too high. But I've been fooled by things like that before.
Got a decent rig with an i5 2500k, 8 gig of ram and a 460 gtx. will that get my high settings with good framerate?
Definitely, yes. It runs quite well given how good it looks.
Does anyone know if there is a way to view latency in-game? I can't find one.

I am using Core2Duo, ATI HD 5700, 4 years old system still run at a good frame rate with average above graphic setting.

Anyone else with a GTX560 ti find that the game really churns the fan? Is there some setting that is REALLY demanding?
I was surprised at how hard it was pushing my card considering it's a UE game.

I'm running pretty much the same system as you only with a HD6950 2GB and I'm running on the 4th preset(it goes to 5 but I dont think it does anything except for render the environment further away) and it's fine. Can't tell you what the framerate is because I've not checked but it's smooth 100% of the time. CPU sits at 40c while my GPU sits at 60c.
EU instance servers keep crashing and it boots you from the game, meaning you have to rejoin the queue to get back into the server.

Gonna have a good lengthy session tonight with the guild!

smooth as well, flightpoints are an explosion of particle effects and player characters and the framerate drops are perfectly managable.
I actually fell in love with the archer. I tried out all of the classes but Warrior was the only one that I felt was pretty responsive, but wasn't sure of this game at all before I found the archer.
Weird thing is that I usually detest archers in games, but here it feels tactical and powerful.

can you still get in the head start? anyone have a code?

That's basically what I am doing, but the game is good enough that it will have me coming back even while playing d3, especially during those server problems that are bound to happen for d3 lol
you'll be fine. I have everything you have except a 5850. I am PLEASANTLY SURPRISED how well this game runs with how pretty it looks

The joys of needing to re-log and getting stuck in a 90 minute queue...
Btw what's the point of extraction exactly(guess it serves it purpose on higher levels)? I now have ass load of refined mats and nothing to do with it. Not to mention leveling a crafting skill also gives you tons of refined mats. There's no point in crafting weapons since, you level out them really quick. Isn't it better to just npc all the gear you get for now, till you get to a tier where actually want to craft something?
Downloading the game now!
Just wanna confirm that the EU gaf guild is in fact on the server called "Essenia"
Did you buy it or is the beta still active?
Trickster

Bought it, don't think the beta is live anymore since the game comes out in 5 days, and they already have the servers online for the early access folks.
The first is
the entrance to the level 52-54 open world dungeon
the 5 man instance within that dungeon

I'm not 100% sure since the early access thing started a few days ago already. So the question is if you had to have the game pre-ordered before then in order to enjoy the early access.
But I'm downloading atm, and once it's complete I can update you on whether it's possible or not, if you want

A good idea would probably be to watch some videos from the game. Personally the unique combat system ( for an mmo at least ) and graphics are what made me dive in. Whether I'll feel validated about my purchase I'll have to wait and see
