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

ANYWAY... Back to Tera. I've been told that there is the main red quest plotline... Are they required in any way to progress in the game, and can they be soloed. Or do they end up being level cap type things later.
.

Not sure if they are REQUIRED but they build on themselves within each zone, so you can't do the last one unless you do the previous ones, they do reward some decent armor/weapons so they are worth doing just for that. Also if you use Kaia bindings they can be soloed.

Additionally... What's the deal with the low-man content that's been referenced. I thought it was a bunch of instance-grinding at max tier.

Only seen up to lv 38 questline stuff but...!

Its "mostly" solo, but it WILL lead to a point where you need a group to do a 5man instance to progress. Also by around lv 38, I had 1 "requires 5 people" BAM quest.

Although it was Lv38, and recommends 5... me (berserker) and a priest solo'ed it (took about 10min since I was the tank+dps). Hardly took damage at all (berserker block prevented all damage, only took a few hits during its enrage mode).

Unsure about the "low level content reference" your mentioning... are you talking about... the tutorial stuff they want to add? Or do you mean "once you get high lvl, why would low level area's even matter".

Well, some (I know I will) be lvling multiple characters, so yeah there will be a constant influx of people in low level area's.. HOWEVER! There are advantages to starting a new class...! For instance, since your "bank" is tied to all your characters, you can dump good gear for your next class, or gems... and have millions of gold available for your next class.. or potions (like the 75% hp pot 100% stam buff + damage/tank buffs etc), socket gems, enchant fodder, a +12 enchanted weapon waiting for you at Lv 22.. etc etc

lvling a 2nd, 3rd etc classes will be alot easier/better experience.

thought those kaia binding things were only for "instanced" mobs, not for "world quested bams" if so.. dam i should keep those things, maybe I read its description wrong .. but if so yeah its all soloable (cept the 5man instance ones) to lv 38

I used one on the story mission in the desert zone by the ocean on that big honking BAM, dropped him down to a regular type, he still hit pretty damn hard but I was able to cut him up pretty fast so I think it worked. As far as what i've read they are for any story BAMs and just make them not drop any loot or give exp or something.

@Wilfgang: The BG guild is on Jagged Coast, a PvP server. There are other BG members in lumps on other servers as well though.

Thank you sir

I think it actually says on the description that it's NOT useable on mobs in instances.

Not sure what thread this belongs in, but for anyone looking into getting a Naga mouse for TERA or any other MMO, Amazon has it as their Gold Box Deal of the Day for $56.99. For reference, I bought mine on Newegg a month ago for $64.99 and that was the best deal at the time.

[Kipling]

Naga is a must have for this game. I played without one at first, never again. I have also turned friends on to the naga for TERA and they all now swear by it was well. No exaggerations.

[Coren]

I couldn't stand my razor mouse when I bought one. The feel/grip was just wrong (I'm used to the G500). Is the naga very close to the others in terms of design?

What kind of binds do you put on the buttons? I find I can put everything I need (so far) on 1-6, F1-F6, and alt+ version of those same buttons.

I bought a Naga for my brief foray into WoW and it was pretty fantastic. Bound all my key Fire Sorc abilities to the 12 side mouse keys and basically only used the keyboard for moving and chat.

[Pilfer]

Uryuu made me buy a naga, probably the only good that has ever come out of him. Allows you to keep your fingers on WASD during combat, which in my opinion is invaluable in a combat system that requires constant motion.

Has anyone used both naga mouse and a controller for tera? Which do you use, and why? And, if applicable, were there any specific types of binds/setups you used that really affected the decision?

I use both. Naga mouse/nostromo for mystic/berserker at the moment. Controller for lancer. Love both for different reasons for different classes, mainly controller for lancer because I can set B as my block and Y as my shield counter which I can hit on the fly and it feels really good. Can't stand using mouse for lancer because I hate having to hit the button twice (sometimes up to 4x if it doesn't register) for shield barrage. With a controller it just feels normal.

The mouse for mystic/berserker lets me set skills in a much more organized way to hit on the fly. Overall for me it's personal preference like this.

This is correct. It only works on non-instanced mission/story bosses.

By default it does 1-0 etc but I switched it to the second bar, or F1-12 since they are harder to reach on my KB. Stick all my main stuff on my Naga thumb buttons, anything extra on the 1-0 line.

[JigglyJam]

i kept mine default 1-0 and top row is ctrl+number

I don't like using a controller in TERA. I lived around one for XI, but Tera mouse & kb is just so much more fluid imo

[Coren]

Can you use CTRL+Naga buttons? Do they just replicate 1-0 (or whatever) so anything that is CTRL+1 or ALT+1 is the same on naga?

[sedna]

Yeah, exactly, at least assuming you use the 123 setting instead of the NUM setting. Keep in mind it also covers the - and = buttons. Not just 1-0. It really is a great mouse for games like Tera. My wife and I both love ours.

I use a ps2 controller, I love it. I think I would break my mouse or keyboard if I didnt

[ChairmanMeow]

Bought a naga just for this game. Best decision ever. The only things I ever touch on my keyboard are 1, 2, 3, WASD, and tab.
