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

[Mistral]

I love the combat, graphics and animation in this game. But I gotta tell you, the RNG system will drive me out of this game as soon as a more American style game comes out with combat, graphics and animation that can compete with Tera's.

I agree with you there, but this mumbo jumbo about odds is pretty much always going to play out in every game you try. I do agree that there should be a way to 100% your odds, albeit an expensive one. However, I'm not going to stop playing Tera for an RNG dispute 2 months out the gate. I get really annoyed when people make these "threats" about quitting over something that patience would fix.

If there's one thing that will make Tera stand tall, it's their use of the engine and the combat. Those two elements are nearly perfect, and will never need to be changed. Everything that's wrong with other MMOs on the market today have something to do with their shitty combat system that leaves players yearning for something more intuitive, or more engaging. Tera already has the "core" of its game working damn near flawlessly, and that's all you can really ask for in a game straight out of the gate.

(This is, of course, excluding the nexus. They have, however, acknowledged and have issued statements saying that's their #1 priority to fix)

Put it this way, if a game has crappy combat, you're never going to see a fix for it - it would cost way too much time and resources and it essentially defaces the identity of the game itself, so you're better off finding another game to play. You don't see that with Tera.

From this point on, they can tweak stuff that's a hell of a lot simpler to fix, and feasible. All we have to do is be patient.

[madpersian]

Oh I agree with you. I don't anticipate any game coming out in the near future with a combat system, graphics and animation even close to Tera. I'm still playing the game and don't regret my six month sub (although chronoscrolls... maybe I should have just done one month and bought those).

This game's core is essentially perfect. I just REALLY hope they fix or alleviate the RNG stuff, then I'll be a lifer.

Edit: Keep in mind, this is the random complaint thread, I gotta vent my frustration at never having hit a single +9 somewhere.

My static's semi-regular warrior got the tanking buff somehow when we queued for HM Fane. Just for fun, he pounced and ate two of the borers and lived through it. Second time he just sat there and lived through it. WTF. I mean, I have a warrior, but I still want to tank on my lancer. That shit is just stupidly op. Hope they get rid of it ASAP after the war buff.

Edit: I did feel good about mostly holding agro off of him even with this 40% agro bonus. The only boss where I had real trouble was fimberlisk.

[Kipling]

Yeah you can actually live through the borers because it takes hp and isn't just a true one shot. With iron will and that priest buff I got hit once in HM and got knocked over but stayed alive with something like 2k hp left from full.

[madpersian]

Yeah I did that once with same situation and the endurance on shout buff.

[Meresgi]

Almost at 30 runs of BT having only seen 2 mystic weapons and 1 archer weapon. No fucking disc has dropped, i'm about ready to just buy the fucking Nexus weapon and be done with this bullshit of a grind.

Not to mention I have to pug most of this shit since CH is full of rptards who don't want anything to do with pve in this game and losing 200-400g worth of crystals per run sure is fun! especially when the gift you get afterwards has 3 safe haven scrolls..THANKS EME I SURE CAN USE THESE FUCKING THINGS. Not like I don't have 6 stacks already.

[Avarice]

Yea, the Safe Haven Scrolls are pretty fucking retarded.

[madpersian]

There is hope though! Last one I got was Savage Crux. They really need to allow full groups to LFG to stop the dickishness though. They keep adding incentives for people to queue and kick to get their last member in.

[Scythiroth]

It'd be nice if they actually got rid of the longer cooldown on dungeons when not queueing.

people are queuing up and kicking the 5th just to get a shorter timer?

Got a few extra. Couldn't give em away to guild sorcs. Too bad yall didnt roll with us.

Aye. BT > FoK > ToT is lost on people. Would rather kick for 30.

Kick the nigga whiles hes down why don't you.

And i can't stomach Queing for ToT without full guild group fuck that noise.

we normally que with 3/4 people i wouldn't kick somebody unless it was a hard-mode and they cant stay alive or keep doing stupid things to get themselves killed.

and 1 thing that irks me is mages that buy their weapon because they are so cheap then que up for fane not knowing shit about the dungeon. THEN failing to tell anybody "this is my first time". Mystic had a glowing weapon figured ain't her first rodeo right? Die to stupid aoe because i made an ass of my self and assumed the bitch had done it.

You're on JC arnt you? Damnit I can't transfer over there >_<

[madpersian]

People do it for cool down reduction, for the theory that drops are better when you queue and now for the gift boxes.

[Gulkeeva]

nah drops aren't any better with 4 people.. or even 3 O_o

[madpersian]

Yeah, bad RNG breeds superstition. Four Leaf Clover anyone? :D

This. I had a BT group that demanded we not get the buff for the last boss because "it lowers the drop chance of a weapon"...then we kill the boss and he doesn't drop a single weapon, not even the BoP/BoE non-enigmatic ones. Just 1 piece of armor.

2nd time today i've gotten into a BT group, someone has run off and killed a sloth and then the tank leaves because "oh guild wants to do a group" or "oh there are 2 warriors in this group, i'm out"

FUCK THE FUCKING COMMUNITY IN THIS GAME HOLY SHIT. I don't even think it was this bad doing goddamn LFG's in WoW, at least you didn't get fucking locked out for an hour if someone hit a mob once in the face.

[madpersian]

I'll be honest, I've queued for a group and had the healer want to get kicked because we had a zerker. So I went and poked a mob before we kicked him. Good times. Same thing in Fane HM. Take off crystals, poke boss, die, kick.

I would have, but the tank teleported out before I knew what was going on, soon as I saw him port I started to head to the mirror but the slayer smacked a mob. Tank asked us to kick him and I said "no, let him leave and get the debuff" then my group started bitching at me over this...because sitting around in queue for another 30mins or so for a new tank was totally what I wanted to do.
