I run it on default settings and take off annoying things like character glow and I don't see any detail at all on characters. A chain link piece looks like gray smudge. Lag is just horrific just about everywhere not to mention the ever so fun rubberbanding that's killed me more than I care to count. Nothing like jumping off a cliff, flying for 3-4 seconds and suddenly back to the point where you jumped off the cliff and your wings aren't up so you can glide again. I planned on putting some money together once I pay off a few more debts and build the comp I want. Right now I'm looking to set aside 1300-1500 for a new system and I may try and get a new monitor on top of that. Problem is with prices changing so much and new technology coming out constantly the build I set to work towards 6 months ago has dropped $300 (which is awesome) but there's much better out there which will be way better and keep me at my target price range.

Oh well that's a discussion for Tech, I look forward to more screenshots so maybe I can use them to persuade my wife to want to play.

So how many people are posting on here that are actually playing? Maybe we should make a BG guild? Once i get home and my download is FINALLY finished, i'll be on playing, then i'll post my character name on here if we want to have a group together.

**Ranel** · 2011-01-14 17:34

I built my pc about 3 years ago from newegg and spent about $1500 for everything which included a quad core 2.4 and 9800gtx oc. I'll look into a new video card but there's plenty of time before NA release.

I'm a ss fanatic so I'll contribute :D

Absurd graphics. Absolutely absurd. The future is here, and I like it.

**Alderaan** · 2011-01-14 20:51

TERA: the mmo where everyone plays a female.

Not that there's anything wrong with that. This may be the first mmo i play one as well.

We're all on 미스텔.

About the guild, I tried to make one yesterday, but it requires being in a party with the other people that want to start the guild. It's cheap though, only 3000G

TERA: Where's the Pants?

That'd be my title. I don't think I've seen one SS yet with a chick wearing pants. Must be easy as shit to get kills in that world - just aim for the legs!

**Rulke** · 2011-01-14 22:11

I dig the Tera chicks and all but its going to be a male aman char for me, I love the way those guys look.

**Franzer** · 2011-01-15 01:57

I found some pants, but seriously if you look close, look at the camel toe on this chick. Also funny thing about the graphics is, even with the graphics on high, my card isn't screaming like it is when i'm playing FFXIV.

Those trees just look insane in that screenshot.

**Franzer** · 2011-01-15 02:47

Just for reference since people were asking earlier, i'm using 1 gtx 460 card, and have 0 problems with high settings even in 1920 x 1080, although i haven't been to any really high traffic areas yet. Honestly though, the screenshots are amazing, but in game it will seriously blow your mind. All the way down to the little details on mobs you're fighting, you can see how much time and detail was spent just on the little things.

Hahaha. Thanks, that was hilarious. I love how perverted these Devs are!

**Viq** · 2011-01-15 03:27

You'll find high traffic areas aren't that bad. They did a good job of prioritizing what gets displayed. You'll see the occasional mount without a rider, but you won't see a lot in the way of lag or FPS dropping.

**Foxer** · 2011-01-15 06:30

This is the best looking and smoothest running MMO by a mile. Unless you like ridiculously repeated textures and UI/server lag, this takes the cake by a long shot.

About the BG guild, there is pretty much 9 days remaining on KOBT, and then no more testing for 4 months, in Japan. Plenty of NA guilds are in Mystel and like I said before, this game is 10000% straight forward. We're all closer to 30 by now and lots of people enjoy the epic quests enough to have done them all so everything can be answered by now.

How the basics in the game works, in a nutshell.

Spoiler: show

There is half of 1 side of a continent available ATM, with the level cap being 38, with about 5 required raids in between. Some quest raids and solo raids also available. Everything marked by !>?>*, just like in Aion so it's really easy to advance in quests.

Also like Aion, transportation is a breeze. From the Pegasus Express, which flies you long distances through portals, to your first mount at 20, which you're free to use it absolutely anywhere outside of water and in raids. There are also town to camp warps(absolutely every<- camp) for a tiny free of just a few hundred gold. I'm running on about 300k with easily 300k spent on mounts and skills so far. Very easy to attain gold and just as easy to travel. Also, movement speed buffs, swimming, jumping, and climbing availible from the get go.

Gear works like it does in Aion(white>green>blue>etc). Unlike FFXI(I use FFXI as an example because that game still runs laps on FFXIV) where gear is completely situational, you won't be carrying around multiple sets and you can enhance gear from the get go, using enhancement stones. There will be PVP gear only attainable through PVP when that comes out in retail, but for now, it's gear acquired through raids and world bosses.

Mob colors are black>grey>white>orange>red, with red being the most difficult based on level gap. White is your range(2 levels lowers, up to 1 level higher) and probably the fastest grind solo, seeing as how you can pull multiple mobs NP in this game. Distance and level, along with colors, all displayed while targeting the mob.

No gear damage, no worthless weapon damage, just weakness(deduction or addition to max HP/MP) over time, which is 100% playable with 0% heart. You start at 120%, something along the lines of a 25%~ HP/MP bonus and can end as low as 0, which is about a 25%~ HP/MP deduction. To heal the %, you just go to any camp, average, 2-3 per map, seen about 20 so far, in just 1 region. Does not deplete fast unless you're terrible or a tank. Also, portable camp fires available, I have around 20 ATM(easy to attain/buy) and have never used 1. Maybe used it 5-6 times in my set total.

The only thing that people who can't speak Korean might have a problem understanding is how to use your advanced skill, which you get at 25+. It basically works like merits on skills you have already, raising damage, reducing recast, etc, while improving the initial potency of your previous spell just for having it.

Some more pics. Standard resolution, not touched up, only re-sized to 75% for size.

Long post. Sorry, y0, but I have received many tells from people on these and other forums telling me only how much they like the game. You should all consider it when it hits the states! It's just too good.

Cheers

**Nitsuki** · 2011-01-15 08:24

I realized i was playing this game completely wrong and just questing. I didn't know the game required you to buy abilities. (like aion did i think?) but i made an archer this time and i'm past my warrior level and archer's toi much fun when ammo is unlimited.

**Foxer** · 2011-01-15 08:27

Yeah, why buy ammo? Only games that hate their players make certain jobs expensive for no reason. Game is basically a much less repetitive, free-target Aion with the Unreal 3 Engine, less lag, better graphics and the hottest bitches you're ever going to find in a video game, AND it doesn't seem to be playing in fast forward.

**Viq** · 2011-01-15 08:46

I can't wait until the actual KR release. I want to play so bad, but I have 8 final exams for my Korean class next week, so this beta is at the worst possible time for me ㅠ.ㅠ

**Rulke** · 2011-01-15 12:39

Viq, does buying/playing the KOR release work the same way as beta? Meaning one would need a hangame account etc?

**Viq** · 2011-01-15 12:41

Yeah, the game is going to be run through Hangame when it gets released.
