I hope we get multiple character slots in OBT... I want to save one name with the pre-character creator, but level something else >.>;

[Soho]

I'm unclear about the name reservation thing. Will we need to choose a specific server at that point? Did they release a final list of servers for launch?

Seems unlikely that they'd let us reserve a name across all servers right?

[Rulke]

From that it sounds like once you make your character you can't delete it and then thats it. thats shitty. planned to reserve a name and then tweek it later at a time when everyone isnt rushing to enter a name

I could be wrong, but you can enter your character name right away, then once its confirmed continue to work on creating your character till you're happy with it.

My apologies if this was mentioned, but I can't find it:


From: http://tera.enmasse.com/news/posts/c...a-test-4-recap

New Prologue Zone: We want to teach people about the lore behind the Island of Dawn (and throw them into some action), so we created an entirely new tutorial zone that servers as the precursor to the current Island of Dawn experience.

What is this? O.o

And... iformation on the QoA part 2 stuff:

https://forum.tera-europe.com/showthread.php?t=54718

In a nutshell:

- PvPvE battleground (fingers crossed on this being better than Aion's implementations)
- Alliance-style 20 man parties introduced for Nexus
- Stamina GAUGE added and changes on tanking:

If a Lancer successfully blocks an attack no MP will be consumed but Stamina instead. This will ensure that Lancers will have better resources.

Warriors on the other hand will be able to continually evade and dodge attacks while they have Stamina so as long as you have stamina, no cooldown will be applied to the skill.

Interesting concept, now to wait for implementation. I hope this doesn't make it easy mode tanking... I'll be fucking sad if a game that required at least some effort to tank was nerfed before release already.

-Changes on mystic/priest weapons to always have healing improvements on enchanting tiers.

All of it looks interesting. As always, it makes me a bit nervous to see the tanking changes but it all comes down to the implementation. The concept is fine and makes sense, plus it should bring warrior back in line for tanking.

EDIT:
Should read the rest of the thread as there's some doubt on the translation being 100% correct. So careful with the knee-jerking on this one.

Oh? I didn't know this

[JigglyJam]

There's a post from one of the EME that states character names will be reserved at the completion of the character creation process. When you hit finish.

[Shassira]

So, if you google translate the QoA2 questions and answers from the korea patch, you get this about the warrior changes:

'Queen of argon part II' to update the family of the patron is scheduled for a major reorganization.

Living with harlots Roar Block provocative uniform pattern to repeat the fun away

Harlots in provocative uniforms. To repeat the fun.

Okay.

Further down the line, seems we can pay for them:

Lancer stamina by consuming live shield to defend and, if successful in the defense and you do not consume MP,

This attack skill other people buying prostitutes available resources will be ensured.

Gladiator's tanking here in order to reduce the difficulty is scheduled for the addition of new skills and

Upward of four prostitutes, to the ability to play solo skills will be added.

[Lucavi]

Woo prostitutes~!!

[shepardG]

I approve this addition

[Meresgi]

Hmmm, how will the stamina bar effect warrior dps? Our dodge wont consume mp now at all?

As long as you brought enough prostitutes to keep you up.

[Indalecia]

If we're making the game easy mode, don't make my mp go down when I'm standing around picking my nose

[Avarice]

Not sure if I like the idea of the Stamina bar and its changes to Lancer; I guess we'll have to see when it's fully implemented.

[Gulkeeva]

oh man 4 prostitutes at once... i already don't know what to do with myself playing as one...(´￢`)

er as castanic

[Shassira]

Aparently it's limited to four prostitutes, but you also get skills to play solo.

"On deck for Closed Beta Test 5 is a new event that we are trying out for the first time here. I can't spill the beans lest the community and marketing teams hurt me, but it will involve BAMs, invasions, and a lot of bad-guy ass-kicking." :O! What could this mean? They testing out Dark Nexus in CBT5?
