If you have ppl to play/lvl with (Say NA/EU versions, or a group of friends in KR) you won't feel a grind at all. And when I say grind I mean stacking repeats for decent exp and medals (used for lv50 gold, bad status but good for enchanting).
Unlike Aion I didn't feel frustrated/Burned out from grinding in Tera, it was actually fun since you interact with the mobs, and aoe grinding is fun.

Also I hear they changed A LOT of the elites to solo quests in the last update, so it might be even easier for my alt.

Yup. I ran temple and mines the other day with 3 to catch up to main. Solo mobs were always pretty easy but elites are noticeably friendlier. They'll still rape face if you're dumb, but they can definitely go down with a bit more ease or frequency now. The actual difficulty wasn't adjusted too much though. They just drop a more significant amount of red orbs, which are <3. Instanced elites are still the same as before. You can actually tell the difference between open world and instanced elites now.

If at 24 you learn a move that combos in better with any particular combo you're doing, you throw that one in. Like Lancer for instance, would be thrust, thrust, thrust, cancel last animation into shield bash or combo in with another thrust skill. You can do this after any normal attack. There are also default suggested combos that work well, like a Priest's Retribution Curtain, which is conal, to Fiery Escape, which is conal as well, jumps you back around 5 meters and gravities the mobs 70% for 3 seconds, to set up for something like a Sorcerer nuke, aoe sleep, etc.

Sounds good (finally a competent online action game?) What about defensive options, or do those fall under skills and are class specific (like block on a warrior type or evade on a rogue type)?

I keep coming back to this thread and getting more and more interested. Maybe if I can scrape together some spare change I'll give K-TERA a try after all.

Waiting for the NA release of Tera isnt a horrible thing, don't let these guys bully you!

Defensive abilities are class specific, some classes "c" skill are defensive in nature. Lancer (Shield Block), Beserker(Parry), Slayer(Dodge?), Warrior(Roll), Archer(Jump Backwards). Ive never played a sorc, theirs might be defensive too i'm not positive on that.

Sorc gets Jump back too, but not as our C skill. We get it at lv2, and a 2nd one that slows enemies near me at 16 (Im pretty sure I can get hit through this one tho).

Ok, my torrent finished downloading, and I'm a little confused as what to do now. Halp? Everything I have tried to double-click gives me a different DLL error.

TERA Invoker is the patching client. You may have to login to Hangame's website through Internet Explorer only, i think the instructions are a few pages back.

Are those the main forms of damage mitigation for those classes? What's the in-game difference between Slayer's Dodge and Warrior's Roll?

**Senji** · 2011-03-30 20:07

Anything to say about endgame and the company yet though?

The interview posted with the pics of the 2 asians didn't instill much confidence. After L2 and Aion, I said Id sworn off korean mmos based on the type and amount of endgame content and lack of grasp with whats going on. I interpreted as the team essentially defecting, but curious as to how far the apple fell from the tree. Grind is no issue.

Anyone else here play rift alpha? Rift may not be a lot of people's style but Trion definitely set the bar if they keep it up in CS, adapting, and launch/endgame.

Spoiler: show

I have no doubts about a fun ride 1 to max level, just what is after max.

Used IE > Hit "Game Start" > Logged in > Screen Refreshed > double-clicked "Tera_Invoker.exe" and it thinks its a RAR or something and says "The archive is either in unknown format or damaged"

???grrrr

Fairly certain the only difference is that Warrior's roll ability makes them invuln (tank class) during the move.

Shit...about to give up on this...when it try TeraPatcher I get "Cannot find 'PorteAuthForClient.dll"

NOt sure what I am messing up.

What I did when mine finished downloading was try downloading official client first for a few seconds and then stopped it. I then copy pasted the torrent folder/files to where that folder was and then log in their site and hit game start. A window should come up on your bar and it should patch automatically, it did for me.

edit: I never launched anything from the folders, it always gave me some errors, always had to start game from their site.

During the evasive skills' animation you become invincible, as well as moved away (Slayer/Warrior's Rushing Dodge is forward, Archer/Sorc's Backstep is backwards).
Lancer/Berserker get Blocks only, and Priest gets nothing (Actually last update made Priest's 15 speed buff work in combat, so that could count). Other than that your positioning and ability to not get hit is your damage mitigation.

There's a pretty well translated list of class skills here http://www.mmorpg-tactics.com/tera-o...ut-tera-online
has every class but berserker if you're interested.

The game is only about 2 months old(?) but from what I see: There are 2 lv50 instances, Golden Labyrinth (Hard-ish) 4hr cd, and Akasha's Lair (Super hard) never tried so no idea about cd.
And 2 (maybe more, idk) lv52 world bosses in a open PK zone!

During down times you can grind solo BAMs (lv49 Centaurs, Lv48-50 Red crabs), or group BAMs (lv51 Hermit crabs, lv52 Medusa) for money.

They are also increasing cap to 58 next month.
In my opinion and for my playstyle the game is the best MMO out there and I dont understand any Korean. Cant speak for others.
