Any word if we will be getting a third character slot during CB3?

Looks like we still have 2. =/

I have no idea what causes it, but desperate measures for desperate times, I suposse:

Try to move the game to another computer and update from there or do it from within a virtual machine. Perhaps changing the enviroment will help.

If the error persists, then the problem should be within the folder and not with the enviroment. At this point I'd start deleting files in chunks until I could isolate the problem.

For this it would be very useful if you stoped the download at 97% and copied the temporary files so that you don't have to redownload every time (assuming the download is big, I don't know).

It's all I can think of right now.

EDIT:

Actualy, if it's the download what stops and not the actual instal, another thing you could try is get the already downloaded files from someone else, place them on the folder the launcher looks for and then run the launcher. It should install the files then.

I'll do some testing just for kicks, I'm bored. If you need the files do say so and I'll upload them somewhere.

I'm trying something to get my download to speed up. If this doesn't work do you think you can send me those files?

[Fereydoon]

Does anyone have the patches and such in a downloadable form? Friends patcher is taking forevvveeerrr.

[Halion]

[Jinn]

What next \:D/?

So is there a certain cut off for each dungeon where bosses stop dropping loot? In Bastion once me and my friend were 5 lvls over the minimum lvl to enter, the group had no drops at all from the boss. In Manor last night our priest was 31, 5 lvls over 26 which I believe is the entry lvl?, and we had no blue drops at all, but we did get the gold necklace (for the 5th fucking time). I know Aion had a certain cutoff you couldnt do dungeons after.

[FriskUni]

you can still get golds in there at 32(and even at 58+), having said that I'm pretty sure we're on an old client for beta coz the drop rates in KTERA were changed alot, and they're definitely not the same as what we're getting

I mean even the drop rates for the 58 dungeons are like guaranteed 1 gold weapon or 1 gold armor piece

So I heard there'll be no wipe from OB to launch but is there a wipe between CBT and OB?

[spd]

yea there will be

[Pilfer]

In regards to my lag issues a bunch of posts back I found the issue. On Nvidia gtx560 I changed back to the 290 beta drivers (not the 295beta) and play completely lag free now. Figured I'd post incase anyone else was having issues.

Sorry, have been completely off the forum the last day. I'll send you a PM to ask if you still need them.

[Kaisha]

I'm kinda heartbroken between playing TERA, and not playing it because all my work so far will be wiped once the game hits open beta status. Finished the noob location and got a decent grasp of the Slayer mechanics and what not and that's about it.

Might consider rolling a second character and seeing what the healer class is like, but jeez....., only the one starting location will make that a borefest real quick. Is there anything of real notice I should dabble on my main guy with during CBT? Only lvl13 currently.

[Kachiko]

It's not supposed to be 'work' it's supposed to be 'fun'. Use it to best figure out what class you want to main and to get familiar with the world mechanic, all while EME gets data on what they want to do with the game come release.

[Rulke]

@Kaisha - I would take at least 1 character to lvl 20 or so, it's a fun run. The game very entertaining and it'll be easy to make up all that time once OB starts. At lvl 20 you'll have a better idea of some of your abilities, have a chance to look into glyphs and some other cool things.

I've been trying to recommend people at least experience some BAMs and preferably the first dungeon to get a good feel for the classes. Only takes a day or so depending on how much free time you have.

But yeah, I've mostly just been using these beta tests to try out the different classes and get some practice. Pretty sure I already know what I'll be playing, but who knows, could always find something else you really like.

I figured I'd ask the GMs since they've been really supportive of the community so far, but then I got this in response;

[Cian]

I don't see the issue here. Are you really complaining about no guaranteed golds at 32 from a 27 dungeon?

[Meresgi]

No one is complaining, just asking if it was a common fact or just terrible luck. I figured it was something they implemented akin to Aion but wanted to make sure.

[Avarice]

I'm not complaining, but when you have no new instances at a 32cap, the only thing you can do is repeat the ones you do have access to. When you then repeat the ones you have access to and suddenly there's no drops, it's pretty damn noticeable.

every time i try to make a new character, i always get a general network failure when i input my name lol. its on jagged tooth (or whatever) and every other server i try. is there anyway to bypass this?
