TERA Online - General Information and Discussion (May 1, 2012)

[Lucavi]

To not make things so ass-grindingly tedious? Some quest/mission BAMS take awhile to kill. What's the point of forcing someone or a group to sit and wait when they can switch channels, kill the boss, and move on with their day?

[Kachiko]

At least in the beginning levels, channels are there to scale with population, so that everyone isn't camping normal mobs just to finish a quest. Later levels only have two, and usually one, channel, for people to be in, so hopping becomes less of an issue.

[Avarice]

It looks to be ten channels on Island of Dawn, and four channels everywhere else. At least on Jagged Coast.

[Gulkeeva]

yeah.. I started a berserker... starting area... had like 20+ people on my screen at all times channel 1, moved to channel 7 and only myself...! *runs around grabs 20 mobs, lets loose the aoe spam* awwww yeah zergin them levels!

[Wenrick]

All I heard in Isle of Dawn Channel 1 Area Chat: Troll, whine, troll, stfu, cry, whine, troll, troll, troll.
I wish I would have known about channels before I was Lv15. At least I know what channel to go to for my next character.

think area doesn't change when you switch ch. pretty sure you will just have to fliter it in chat options if its that bad... use LFG one only if ur actually want to group up

haha, it sooo reminds me of trade chat in warcraft >.>

I just have 3 chat channels myself...

1 with guild, party, LFG
2 combat
3 whispers

I may just make 4th with lfg, it got... as bad as area chat at times ;/

[Elesirdur]

Yeah, there's no reasonable reason to listen to Barrens Chat 2.0. Channel shifting is a nice touch. 1 is always packed, but switching over to anything else in the non-Isle of Dawn zones leaves you lots of mobs to kill and resources to harvest. I'm sure during retail more people will find out about the channel feature, but in the CB's I'm sure we can enjoy our relative solitude in non-1 channels.

[Kachiko]

People not knowing about the channels is something I'm betting on, as it will let us level a lot faster, without the cluster fuck of people on quest mobs/BAMs.

Ah yes, that's true. I may turn area chat back on a few months after launch. Until then it will be nothing but braindead trolls, and idiotic troll fodder.

Anyone know of a good TERA wiki site yet? The ones I've found are horrible so far. I've played one weekend I already know more than whats on those wikis.

Oh god, these withdrawals. Someone invent a time machine and warp me to late April. >_<

Your best bet is Google translating http://tera.inven.co.kr/

Wasn't there going to be an attempt to create a TERA BG-Wiki sister site to the FFXI BG-Wiki?

Pet shops are going to disappear in our version. No more pervert Dahlia or blue cats with signs.

Hello everyone,

I have just heard from the Community Management Team that the pet system will indeed be removed in the EU version as well. Hope this gives a answer to the questions asked regarding this subject.

With kind regards,

Chihaya

Hello,

To clarify Chihaya's message, I just want to add that we are talking about the vendor pets (previously known as Homunculus) here. Not the mystic's pets. The reasons for this are :

To prevent misuage by gold sellers
To prevent server overload (in Korea, some zones became very laggy because of personal shops)
Because, as mentioned before, the auction house is going to be drastically improved.


Whilst we understand that some people were find of the old system, we believe that the new auction house will result in it being useless.

Regards,
Anna

but but.. I liked the panty shot view as I ran by them all with the camera on the ground (don't think I was the only one doing this, I saw others ramming into walls running to that office!)

[Rulke]

Always used the AH personally so not a problem for me and I do agree with cutting down on zone clutter. That wil be good
