CPE events come after focus events. The American focus events weren't on American servers?

There is no more direct feedback than people who go out of their way to play the game illegally. I fully understand how the public, and developers themselves will ignore that, but they have forums for a reason. They can read there. I hate to break it to everyone who played the CPE, but you got the same exact version we've all been playing since November 2010.

I am also aware of the marketing involved in this procedure, due to lack of NDA and it being American and all, but that's not what I'm talking about.

This CPE is strictly a thank you to the people who have been following TERA outside of Korea, which is fine.

Is the UI slow in CPE? Im wondering if that's a latency issue too.

Also, finally found something to complain about. Aggro/Reset mechanics atm are kinda dumb, and can lead to a lot of grief.
For instance I had a bam at 60-70%, a warrior ran up and used ONE SKILL, grabbed aggro and ran off with the mob till it reset.. I hope they work on that. Back story to that, Snake Island is the main grinding spot for lv50s to make money.
Literally each and every spawn is camped on both channels. Now usually people respect each other and I never had that shit happen to me, but I suspect more drama coming from this in English version especially around world bosses.

We had an Archer do that to us last night. There is no such thing as CE in this game as of yet. Here's hoping they add it. PLEASE! It was a good thing the Korean became predictable so we had the Lacer spike hate after she did but the fact that it can happen is bad. It's super open world PVP friendly, but not in a thought out way.

And UI is fine BTW, I have never had a problem with it. It's pretty instant to me. :3

I didn't notice any gross lag with the UI myself, but an infuriating issue of right clicking on gear in your inventory to equip it and the UI cutting off and your toon doing the right click action. It also wouldn't recognize my gamepad, though I suspect that is because there was my gamepad and a virtual HID device listed in my game controller list and gamepad was second so I could see tera just using the first device if its not complete yet. The flashy cursor thing that happens every time you click on something is pretty annoying too. One thing I did notice was A LOT of Amani females out there... I don't think I saw any Humans, and very few Popori.

Unrelated, do embeded youtubes not work for anyone else recently? I have flashblock and when I click on the item to load the flash app it just goes away, but the youtube site works fine.

This is what worries me. How "channeled" is Tera? I remember Aion had multiple channels in the nub zones and became single channel later on. However, even the zones that only had 2 channels were... I do not know how to explain it. Other than not liking the separate channel system at all. The world tends to be a lot less social and full when you have channels instead of just a single persistent game world. It also lets the developer make the world that much smaller since you do not have to have as much landscape to fill with players. How is the channel system working in KTera atm? Is there limitations on swapping channels? Is it like lower Aion where you could literally get to an NM camp and swap channels for 10 minutes killing every version of that NM?

**Foxer** · 2011-04-04 14:35

3-4 in starter. 2 later on.

Um.. having too many channels and never having to fight for NMs/HNMs is terrible. Especially seeing how none of these HNMs here are on 24/72 hr timer or anything of that sort. Quite short in comparison if you ask me. If the HNMs here have anything worthwhile dropping, they will be camped, so you can't just go from channel to channel and kill them, unless you get lucky, or you're camping something no one cares about.

**Rulke** · 2011-04-04 14:35

^ Starting/early zones can have up to 3 different channels. Major cities are just 1. Sounds like later/end game zones offer 2 channels.3

Edit: beaten by Fenux by seconds!

**Foxer** · 2011-04-04 14:38

RAWR

**Cloudius** · 2011-04-04 14:40

Early areas are 3 channels iirc, PK zones are only 1 channel, 47-50 area is in non-PK and has 2 channels.
the 2 main cities are 1 channel.

**Drex** · 2011-04-04 15:54

How does applying for testing TERA work at this stage? Is it still possible to get in?

**Rulke** · 2011-04-04 16:21

@ Drex- yes, there is probably one more "special" even before they start closed beta, then open beta. Signing up will enter you for a chance to play in all remaining testing phases

**Foxer** · 2011-04-04 17:31

If anyone would be so kind.

Not entirely sure what the difference was outside of the armor color pattern, until I saw this line. Seems like dungeon 38 gold is identical to open world 40 gold aside from this little line, right here.

That's 6% damage reduction from enraged mobs.

**Rammses** · 2011-04-04 17:41

This game looks technically amazing considering how well it runs. Some of the more restrained and conventional designs look pretty great too. Shame they had to spew Korean plastic surgery inferiority complex aesthetics over everything else. At least there are pandas.

Yeah they shoulda made it look like WoW or Rift, die in a fire

**Foxer** · 2011-04-04 17:55

What are you talking about? RIFT looks AMAZING. Wait, doesn't it?

I didn't even see this. TY. It's not too much of a concern anymore. PHEW. GET ON. SOLSTICE. GO. ZENITH. GO. SOMETHING. GO. I'll make, you start inviting. Either that or I'll start handing MM invites!

**Katlan** · 2011-04-04 18:00

Lol@ Rift looking graphically good

Logging in, make, gogogogogo.

Just a note though, my PC is crapping out whenever I run anything remotely intensive for more than 15 mins or so, not sure if PSU or GPU is on the way out, but I have a new Pc coming in the next week or so, at least I can login whenever someone shouts at me for something

We do have a big capacity TS3 server running - details are in the guild panel online, but you need a server admin to give you access to move out of the lobby, just text chat any server admin you see logged on.
