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

[Lucavi]

I'd like for the story to be a bigger focus then it currently is. As is, I have no idea who any leaders are or have any real interest in why I'm fighting. I know there's no established lore or anything, but hopefully we'll see some leaders step up at some point and show us why they're in charge.

20 man PVE content INC. Silver and Bronze currency INC. LV60 INC. Warrior/Slayer DPS buff INC. Berserker counter INC. Lotta shit coming out in KR, and if my spider senses serve me right, we're getting fucking everything at launch.

[Lucavi]

Sounds good.

Generally not everything is as intuitive as I would have liked (feels like all attacks being camera based would be better but I need more hands on time with melee),

It's funny you should mention that. I figured that camera based is default for KB/M, but if you have a controller plugged in it takes the character direction thing to heart even if you aren't using a controller any more.

Good thing I played this morning without my controller active, everything felt a lot better.

Actually it's more like TERA meets GW2 with it's Dynamic content. But yea these Dark Crevices sound just like Rifts in Rift, if they are left alone they will spawn monster invasions.

They have been testing this Dynamic Feature over on the JPN Servers. Here are some pics

lol... that looks awesome, I think I remember reading in that interview you could get pvp points from it also?

[Foxer]

You get PVP gear through tokens while they remodel BGs.

[mallister]

holy fuckballs this thing just doesn't let up <3

[Kachiko]

That's a shit load of BAMs....

Lets hope they implement it as well as Rift did; that was the one thing that was always a blast to do.

I spy TERA's version of the taurus mob from FFXI D:

[mallister]

well that was fairly baller. funnest 1-22 levels i've had in an mmo. only big gripe for me was the voices. they're awful, and with a game that visually stunning, they should be ashamed of themselves with voice acting like that. if there are options for subtitles i'll be modding that shit back to korean or jp when closed beta is over.

that having been said, i had little to nothing else to complain about. awesome game is awesome.

what'd you guys think, now that we're stuck on the forums for 2 weeks?

[CasualPlayer]

Foxer, what are gold and silver currency?

[Senji]

Foxer, what are gold and silver currency?

1 gold = 100 silver
1 silver = 100 copper

So instead of buying something for 10567 gold atm, will be 1 gold, 5 silver, 67 copper.

While both currency systems have been used equally, strange they are are actually changing the system after release. Unless they figure WoW has simply made everyone dumber.

I thought English voices were middle of the road personally. Korean seemed to fit better but I've heard worse VA on English stuff before.

Popori and Baraka were good, Castanic and Human were horrible, Aman was hilarious.

Tucked away, important detail that seems to have been overlooked.

Guild vs guild = PVP server only.

Tucked away, important detail that seems to have been overlooked.

Guild vs guild = PVP server only.

This is actualy new information... and important one, at it.

Gist of it is:

- Outlaw is on PvP servers a lv11 skill! It was supossed to be lv58 in korea, so this is a huge change indeed. While we had heard Knox saying that they were planning to lower the level down to 11, we didn't have official confirmation till now.

- Guild vs Guild wars only on pvp servers

However, still remains to see what areas will be marked as PvP enabled. By default the whole first continent is PvE-only, but if outlaw is moved to a lv11 skill it's to be expected that at least a part of the first continent will be marked now as pvp enabled.

As a side note, I honestly see no reason to not be on a pvp server. You'd be cutting a part of the game out, pretty much removing an interesting end game objective.

Although gear is heavily important in tera (perhaps even sadly too much), it's still not like Aion; you won't die instantly to someone attacking you, unless you are simply too dumb to move. Ofcourse, if you get zerged down you'll die, but it won't be a gank fest like Aion was. Considering this, I have no idea why we even want more than a couple PvE servers
