Tera: Online Random Question Thread

[Prothescar]

I want a dragon like the fast travel in Kaiator. Non flying ofc

[Avarice]

I've long thought flying mounts could work by just remodeling it so that it could be designed similar to a horse, then just have the "legs" invisible, so that it appears that the mount is floating/hovering. Then again, I don't know too much about the coding of Unreal Engine 3, so maybe not.

[Prothescar]

my concern regarding flying mounts is that it cheapens the world. Unless you have a world/zones specifically made for verticality (not a word, but it is now) then it's pretty balls.

[Avarice]

Well I didn't mean "in the air" flying amounts; just more like mounts that would hover a few feet off the ground, but be otherwise identical to the current mounts. If TERA introduced full-control flying mounts with the ability to raise and drop altitude, then I think that'd be a little silly.

[Prothescar]

Hovering mounts would be cool and should be completely doable. We already have floating mobs, after all! I want a magic carpet

[Meresgi]

So how are archers in TERA now? I remember them being kind of meh when I played (back when Nexus was first around) so it's been awhile and I know a lot of shit has changed. Are they decent dps?

[Foxer]

They're the same exact thing.

They're mindlessly OP in PvP and still decent in PvE.

[Fayttt]

Well, at least they're recognizably decent now. I remember when people were saying Fane HM was impossible as Archer.

[Meresgi]

So did they do anything to the lvl 51 to 58 grind? I remember it being fucking awful when I played, where the mobs hp quadrupled and hit much harder

[Avarice]

Nope.

[Foxer]

Depends on class and if soloing or in group. The level 51 crab repeatable hits you 53 in about 2 hours. 750K a turn in for 5 crabs worth over 1M EXP each plus split.

I never hit a wall when grinding. Most idiots just try to finish zones ASAP to get to the new zone. That's their fault though. Can't be spoon fed any more than you already are. lol

Wait NVM; BAM nerfs coming in. OK, yeah you can.

[Rulke]

I am probably wasting my breath saying this, but the BAM nerfs aren't necessarily going to make it to NA Tera. yeah, hopefully...

[Senji]

Rofl.

I'm sure the plan is to have all regions exactly the same minus the billing system and voice/text language pack. Expect the new [elin] costumes to be all universally approved, etc.

I believe Knox even elaborated on the bam nerfs specifically by saying that's BHS, and their hands were tied.

[Lokus]

To elaborate a bit further, this is what Knoxxer said specifically for that:

"That is exactly a case where it is a game design decision. We evaluate it and offer feedback but they make the final call. Sometimes we make a suggestion they implement for everyone and sometimes they make a change just for us. Each situation is different.

For the BAM issue specifically I can't really speak to this exact change yet."

[Rulke]

Well that's good to know. I know everyone here who plays sees this move as a joke and something that completely diminishes a fun aspect of the game. Hopefully the powers that be will see so too and we won't see that nerf implemented here.

[Meresgi]

Another question, did we ever get the crafting quests like KR had? or is crafting still a fuck pain when you hit Archrune lvl?

[Senji]

We did. 1-410 costs like 25 gold and takes 25 minutes.

6 points per craft, do 2, then dump the quest for the next one. They use mostly the same ingredients too, so buy a bunch and save time wasted with the merchant menus.

[Avarice]

As much as I love TERA, if Masterwork Alkahest becomes cash shop-only like in Korea, I'll probably be done with the game.

[Gulkeeva]

same here, O_o

[Foxer]

Nah, you're all going to keep playing.

No mientan.

Besides, they'll more than likely make the EMP shits buyable with gold, a la chronoscrolls.
