If you recall that first video I showed; near the end of its life that Spider thing likes to back away (like Shelob in Lotr after Sam stab's her

) anyway, the first few times we found it, it always backed away and towards other mobs, so I moved it (finally) so that it'd back itself into a hill instead. Just an idea of what sort of control you should/could be looking into as a Lancer. As someone already pointed out, there isn't any sort of lock on function, so it's all up to you! :D

I too play with a PS2 controller and I <3 it. If you need to, you can speed up the stick control speeds in the controller menu, I forget what I have mine at atm but I like the responsiveness for them at present. Also if a mob gets right behind you, you'll want to get used to hitting that right stick and flipping your camera in a 180. Always try to prevent this though, and subtle movements of your char during the fight can keep you where you need to be.

Yep, I switched my "flip and straighten" camera to my Left stick instead (tied to my movement) and stuck autorun on my Right stick. This improved my gameplay greatly as now I can more reliably switch (instead of moving my camera with the Right stick, I turn to face the mob with my left stick and then also tap the button, which will make me face the mob most of the time).

I'll look up your vids again, now that I understand better I can see/know what's going on.

This was the ticket I raised with the system:

Hi

I created an Open Beta account and got to level 4. At the moment I am enjoying the game.

I heard you can keep your Open Beta char if you pre-order. However, as I created my character first, would I still keep my character if I pre-order now? Or should I pre-order and then open a new account?

I got a reply of:

Hail and well met fellow gamer,

I have received your scroll concerning your question about Open Beta. I wished to inform you that after consulting with the scrolls of the Federation, that you can keep the character but in order to continue to play the character you would need to buy.

I hope that this makes sense and helps you with your issue, if you need any other issues or concerns addressed. Please do not hesitate and contact us.

Was kinda odd he roleplayed a bit in it, but never the less, it seems like I just need to purchase the game to carry on.

Regardless, being level 10 right now, I'll just pre-order the game and see what happens. I think I won't be able to play anymore after today as Open beta closes. If I lose my char, no prob, I'll just recreate it. Afterall, my pitiful 1 gold that I earned so far can be regained easy later by soloing instances I guess.

The GMs tend to do that a lot; it's rather amusing.

i love that stuff. I was always highly amused whenever I needed to talk to a WoW GM

On the thing about mystics healing...

I dunno about you, but fighting a bam, one hit of most anything at Lv32 = eating about 6-8 red balls. Seems pretty useless >.>
They heal maybe 200-300hp each? While bam hits are about 2000-5000.

Having a mystic relies on mostly your dps dodging/blocking most everything (which shouldn't be too hard after fighting a new BAM 2-3 times)

Mystic balls regen, I suppose if you constantly get hit it would be hard to see the effect. But it's potent for sure.

Orbs are a supplement, never a replacement.

I had a great mystic yesterday, when we did the Labyrinth BAM repeatable. She would drop us an MP ball, whenever our MP was about half gone, and usually in-between our MP regain skills, keeping us topped. If we didn't use our MP gain skills, and just tried to use orbs, then we'd have suffered a DPS loss. As for HP orbs, it's more of an emergency thing; eat some when you, and the tank or the person with hate, are both at low HP so the Mystic can focus on the immediate threat and get to you when appropriate.

Actually, the whole group was awesome. Lancer, Archer, Sorc x2, and mystic; we were pulling two at a time and nobody was dieing. Good times.

**Kaisha** · 2012-04-23 11:33

Only thing that bugs me about playing Mystic is when I prep some balls beforehand, and everyone just fights the current BAM 15ft away from them. I ain't getting near that shit and being trampled, fucking my mana-regen up.

On a mystic related question, what's the general way to solo some decent dmg? I was completing some quests last night turn turn in some headstart, and fights were taking me awhile.
What I did was use the dmg buff, get melee thrall out, use the +Movement aura, and get 3x curse stacked on the mob while I step backwards between using my normal ranged attack inbetween reapplying the curse to keep it alive.

It just feels like it could be faster, but I'm not one to get within 3m of a mob just to use my two AoE skills. At least there's zero downtime unlike with what I saw with my Slayer during CBT.

I saw the requirements for it but they generally don't mean much lol

Yes. I'm using a [email protected] and a 5850 with a 5870 bios@915 and it has been great so far with everything at max except a few of the background options since I don't really care about stuff a mile away.

oh didn't really notice the regen effect, and its not constant hits, its more like.. 1 hit for 1/4th your hp bam fights, or Lv 37 bam for 75% of your hp, running around grabbing like a dozen orbs just to get back to like 50% hp in a hurry.

Thanks! I can save a bit of money then or go even lower. Since the machine's sole purpose is to live on my TV. Tera ONLY + WoW and movies. Perfect. Will buy a cheap one (5850) or find a vanilla 5850 and flash it to 5870 (doubt it's possible to find nowadays) and upgrade it later if my needs arise.

They heal over time 1 second ticks over 7 seconds and I can't recall how much exactly they healed but its pretty potent combined with Titanic Favor (lock-on heal). I know I never had problems keeping people up especially with how many motes you can throw out for emergencies with the lock on heal keeping people up normally. The only time I ever had an issue keeping people alive was with an over zealous dps and then they'd get rocked relatively fast and even then they didn't always die. It boils down to either class can heal effectively as long as you and your group know what they're doing.

it should also be mentioned that red candy will also remove most, if not all, debuffs.

This is the main reason I love them. Healer doesn't have to throw out a cleanse if shit is going down hardcore, dps just need to not be bad.

Is there a wiki,mooglebox,yg,zam something for tera?

I just created a guild, and when I try to deposit the first item to the guild bank, it says I need to pay 3g. Is this a per-item fee, or do I just need to activate the tab, kind of like WoW?

**Rulke** · 2012-04-24 01:01

3g to "open" the bank.

With the heal potency +9.1% (from gold in manor and the blue weapon in SB) i only ever had to use the lock on heal. One time in SB i wasn't paying attention and got one shot but all the red orbs i had laid down while running around bored was enough to keep the entire party live while i ran back to finish. Not exactly sure but my lock on cure was doing about 40% of the lancers HP per cure (about 3300/8500) and was fairly spamable. I mainly just drop alot of the orbs around just for meh during fights and keep a 3 stack of curse up and sometimes even the lolthrall dps out of the way. Even with the 2 aura ticking away the mana regen was enough to keep it up.

**Gulkeeva** · 2012-04-24 01:22

ah yeah, I watched a orb heal, it ticks for about 330hp per 1 sec for 5 sec). WHile fighting Lv 38 Bams outside the dark cathedral, was eating that stuff up like candy, got crit for 8,700HP through axe block ... scary O_o

I looked while at work, wanting something to read.

Currently, don't bother.

All of them are shit and were hastily put together with no additional information you would find from the official site.
