Tera: Random Complaint Thread. +12, but now what do I do with all this fodder?

[Sup3rB4d]

...Its an option in WoW and after playing wow for several years I have never seen a dps queue as tank. I'm sure it happens, but to think it would be standard practice is pretty retarded.

Warrior really just needs one more dodge. I don't know if they get something else past 40, but I currently have death from above and evasive roll and those two with their current cooldown just isn't enough. If the mob becomes enraged and starts spamming special moves you just can't dodge them all. Pretty happy hearing about the Ktera warrior tank changes, but no dodge cooldown may make War way less fun to play. Not sure how I feel about it.

[Kachiko]

Except that, with rare, talented exception, you're not going to have a warrior tanking lvl 60 instances, let alone hard modes. It's a fatal flaw of the game right now; Lancer or GTFO unless you really know your shit, which most warriors do not, and never will, outside of a DPS role.

This makes PUG groups that much more innane, because of how unforgiving even the normal 60 instances are. If you're in a static, with vent, you'll roll them, but outside of that, right now, it's a cluster fuck.

[Lucavi]

Well I definately want challenging content, so I've been listening to all the stories about the 60's instances with great relish, but yeah, they need to do something about the earlier instances. That gear can run you from instance to instance, but its very, very hard right now unless you're either a tank, or have a static.

I'm working on my lancer as we speak; if you can't beat em....

I am actually UNHAPPY hearing about the K-TERA tank changes because I'm sure that'll end up worse in the long run. You can already glyph down the CD on DFA and Evasive Roll is just fine. MOST attacks that BAMs/bosses tend to use can be avoided without using either anyway. If you position.

If you think of the front of the mobs sorta like Wyms in XI, I kinda try to stay as if I wanted to be on its 'paw'.
To clarify a bit, I try not to be directly in front of enemies if I can avoid it, it is generally not very difficult to essentially 'walk' out of the way of most moves when you are positioned like that. Also, Rising Fury moves you around a bit... pretty nice dodge move if used properly as it moves you slightly faster than your normal run speed.

NT last boss is SUPER HARD GUYS.

[Lucavi]

Here's a valid complaint: you cant trade across servers in the dungeon finder. I had a forgetful mage lot on gold gloves in SM that my priest needed. I told her before and after that I needed them, but she won the lot (set to class specific). She couldn't trade after the fact, and I was down a pair of gold gloves.

Patch it, or have the gear check do an actual inventory check.

[Coren]

Or limit to shit like consumables and items dropped within the instance.

[Elesirdur]

Doubt it'll happen for the same reasons I recall it not being allowed in WoW. Bluehole/EME may see that as constituting cross-server trade, which could possibly (though it seems remote to me) mess up the closed economies of each server. They would have to introduce some new flag for every item that could possibly drop in a dungeon to indicate it is cross-server tradable, but only under those specific circumstances of being in a dungeon where it dropped and in the presence of players from multiple servers. I'm sure it's doable programming wise, but something tells me that they won't for fear of introducing cross-server trading or player accusing them of that.

[Kaisha]

Timestamp the gear and give it a 3min grace window upon obtaining for trading to others from other server? You're already allowing cross-server players to play with each other, it'll affect the economy either way really.

Anyways, fuck the lack of quest variety in this game. Almost at lvl45 and it's just the same two damn quests templates over and over. The first 20 levels at least peppered in some escorts and random one-offs like pigling taming. After that? Pretty much solely kill X of Y and harvest X of Y nonstop.

Probably a moot point given it's an MMO borrowing heavily from the WoW template, but it's annoying none the less given the lack of other things to do in the game to take a break from all that to make it easier to chew.

[Maaglin]

oops, wrong thread.

I would have liked to see more escort style quests or defend person/place quests (like sorcha). Perhaps these are in Dailys.

Not so far, but, maybe at higher reputation levels. They are quite underwhelming, compared to normal quests.

I was thinking with the game having channels built into it, that they'd just do shit that would otherwise make people have to wait in line to do it themselves in other MMOs. Things like monster raid defends in the public zones, rather than instancing that kind of content all off.

Really hope they plan to dedicated one of their team members to go back and spice up some of the typical yellow quests, and add some zing in every couple of levels just to keep stuff more varied/interesting for the potential future subscribers of the game.

TERA has a good foundation, the devs just need to push it a little harder rather than the 30-seconds-to-script quests that currently plagued it.

[mallister]

my current beef is about the 'kill this BAM X number of times' quests, and the random people that come by and hit your mob so you get no credit on the quest for the kill. being a lancer, it takes me @7 minutes to kill a BAM as it is. shit is annoying as hell.

[The Stig]

Ah I've not had that oddly enough.

I was soloing Basilisks, and built up a small audience. No one ganked or tried to interfere, or asked to group up with me.

I felt like a boss.

[Serif]

Just started paying attention to the random stats you get from Oranges. Found a +9.1% Heal, 6% Less Aggro, +0.5% MP on skill Scepter with +6% Less Aggro at +6 wand on the Broker. Decided to go through the rest of the items to see if I could find something better. Could not find something better and went back to buy the item and it was already sold. I wish they had who sold what to whom like FFXI so I could offer the guy more for the item :L

Also yeah, I agree with the questing, but the saving grace is the battle system itself. It's just so satisfying plowing through things on my Slayer. :D Varied quests would just make it 10000000x better.

[Klain]

Holy fuck at some people LOL can tell they didn't learn shit leveling up. Did an Ebon Tower run to help a friend and this priest we had literally kept RUNNING through the poison traps and died like 4 times. We kept telling them about the dungeon and what to do, but they just kept running in. Lancer kept assuring us that you can go through them, and raised him while he was in the trap and died again. Priest kept saying that he had nothing to close the gap. He even regen circled, then ran through it and died again. I honestly would've been more annoyed if it wasn't so fucking hilarious. Did have a cross server with some BG dudes earlier and was super smooth, so clearly was destined to happen.
