I went 1/1 on Masterworking my Regalblade for my alt. Am I cool yet?

Now you are.

[Avarice]

I'm pretty excited now for the 20-man Kelsaik's Sanctuary raid.

Unfortunately, that's probably still 2-3 months away. Sadface.

[Zetanio]

That UI makes my head hurt.

Wonder how long before it becomes 3-4manned like nexus "raid" (or did they actually tune it to require people!?)

*stares at Pilfer's avatar*

[Pyree]

They said they didn't consider NT a raid, and that this content was actually tuned for 20 people. BHS says these are the first raids to come to Tera.

[Avarice]

This, I don't ever see being able to lowman.

[BlackMoomba]

Looks actually like a lot of fun, seems a lot better than I was expecting a 20man raid to go in Tera. Side note, guy has good taste in music.

9.99 digital codes on amazon.. if yall want founders bonus's http://www.amazon.com/Masse-Entertai...myd_asin_block


and question for anybody in the know

If you have a trail status and buy a digital code. Do you keep your characters when you apply the code or does it reset?

[Rulke]

^Based off the history of how EME has run things, I would be surprised/disappointed if you didn't get to keep your character. I think the only time they've wiped anything was from CBT to OBT (not counting the FGTs and CPE)

[Pyree]

You keep your characters from the trial.

[shidobu]

good deal thx. Early birthday present for a friend that liked playing. Glad she doesn't hve to start over lol..

Whelp, never playing Tera again. 20 man raids are beyond aids and should not exist in any new MMO. Why couldn't tera stick to 5 mans like it did at release? Or expand and create new innovative content instead of the same "Raids|5Mans|Dailies in world formula we've been using since vanilla WOW(And probably EQ? who knows) I really wanted to play Tera too, it's combat is so fun, but oh well, moving on~

(1) 10 man
(1) 20 man
(1) 10-20 man variable raid
(1) unknown number raid



Seriously though, how far did you even get in the first round? Lvl 60? FoKHM? Doubt these raids are stopping anything.

[Pyree]

Don't mind him, he thinks there's not an audience at all for raid content. He's just bitter because he doesn't like it and doesn't want other people that do like it to be able to do it. We got into a discussion about it in the B&S topic a few weeks ago after they announced raid content. I guess games aren't made for everyone, they're made for Shiyo, and if they release anything that he doesn't have interest in then he's done with the game regardless of what they have that he is interested in.

He should be having enough fun in his "next gen MMO" GW2 anyway, where the combat is a failed attempt at Tera combat, the dungeons are 5-man max and everyone does their own thing with little reliance on the other players, and where they still make large-group content in the open world but ridiculously easy and boring (I guess he's ok with it if it's boring?). He doesn't need Tera.

[shidobu]

shots fired in this bitch

Literally everything you just typed is completely wrong.

Raids are a thing of the past, the audience exists for them, they have games for them, not every game needs raids. So fun to find 19 other competent people to be online at the exact same time to fight a mob that is probably only fun for the healers and tanks. 5 mans are much more challenging, easier to design, easier to get people for, experienced by more players, and overall more enjoyable for more players. I bet if a poll was taken, more people would prefer 5 mans to raids.

Not to mention, tera didn't even RELEASE with an ability to make a raid group, or a UI to support it. They had to add that in later patches, so it wasn't even originally designed for raids, they did that to save themselves because it was apparently failing in korea, US, AND EU. So they pulled the "Let's copy WOW card". The free to play shows it was failing even more, no one wanting to shell out $15/month because the quality of the game/updates do not warrant a subscription. Raids pretty much literally make no sense, I played at 50 cap(I think) and the way the UI/skills/bosses etc was all set up screamed "5 MAN!!", everything seemed perfectly balanced around 5 man and 20 mans don't really make ANY sense in an action based combat setting when the healer I played(mystic)'s main heal could lock onto 2(3 with glyph) players at MAX and you had to MANUALLY aim it. I seriously don't understand how you would manually lock onto the correct players at the correct time as a mystic in a 20 man raid setting without completely changing the way that skill works. Having more than 3 melee in a group was incredibly annoying as a mystic healer because of this, can't imagine 10+.

So yes, I will have more fun with my MASSIVELY more successful game that has tons more players playing because IT'S A BETTER GAME.

edit: I didn't even come here to brag about GW2(A game I don't even play), I came here to show disappointment for raids in a game and see if anyone else actually feels my disappointment towards raids existing in this game. I only actually brought up GW2 now because someone felt the need to verbally attack me and a game I don't play anymore to feel better about his choice in playing Tera.

[Senji]

Yeah I'll be having fun in my MMO that didn't fail and have to go free to play because it was failing and there was like 3 servers left from no one wanting to play.

MMOs dont want you obviously, hence adding the raids.

Have fun in GW2, itsa ====>
