^Yeah, that's pretty much how it is. I played a shitload and wasn't able to level nowhere near as fast. Not the first time the people who hit 38 so fast play it, either. Don't worry, if FFXIV's SP gain wasn't so retarded, people would be 38 in a 3 days as well.. No game is hard, but no gay fatigue and 0 SP gain in this game. This is a little like Aion in terms of speed. There's a bunch of people who aren't even 20 yet.

**Senji** · 2011-01-20 18:58

Aion time to cap was shorter than I expected doing story campaigns as they opened up, and Dredgion was lvl 50 pvp instance so im not sure what people are really worried about.

**Alderaan** · 2011-01-20 19:07

Dredgion should have been available in even level blocks along the way. It opened up at level 47. All EM has to do is look at what happened with that game and do the opposite and it'll be fine.

I'm not concerned about time to cap as long as there's enough content to compensate for time spent at each level. It shouldn't be about leveling to 50 asap so you can participate in fun content.

If it's Aion speed leveling, it better not be all grinding then. When I hit 47 I just up and said fuck it and never logged in again before selling my account.

One of the focus points in "westernization" for EME has been to make it so that people can level up just by following the questline. Thus if you want to go out and grind, you can but it wont be a requirement in order to progress in levels at a even/fair pace. Some will say questline is probably going to the prefered way to level, but I havent seen those ideas implimanted yet.

**Foxer** · 2011-01-21 20:47

Yeah, I noticed 30+ for me was around 80:20 quest:grind ratio. Just grind whatever mobs are in quest log and the other 20% coming from just eating shit grinding before you make it back to the NPC or if you just feel like griding. I'm pretty sure you can go all the way with just questing yellows and repeatable yellows. Drop rate on blues at my level were pretty decent kinda so it made me want to just grind every so often.

This guy is playing from Taiwan, streaming mostly just stright quest progression through the game ( he has a lvl38 Berserker & his alt is a lvl12 Warrior. Elin oc -.-). Even if you don't like the lol character, you can still get an idea how gameplay will be as he progresses.

Beta's been done for about a day now but here are some KOBT videos that keep getting updated as people post:

http://www.terafans.com/topic/6877-k...o-compilation/

Enjoy.

**Foxer** · 2011-01-24 12:43

Grrr.. I also wanna point out that in that particular thread posted above, most of the people playing/recording the videos are either NA or EU. I know it might not seem true but we attack at around 50-70% speed of what we should be attacking. Koreans playing in their own servers attack easily 1.5-2x times faster than what a typical EST player would. I noticed that when I was leveling in the south desert place, looking at a 38 with a +5 weapon, trying to convince myself that her 38 +5 was that much faster than my 35 +2 at the time, until I started doing some research. : ) So, unbelievably, the game is that much faster and more fluent than I'd originally thought.

**Rulke** · 2011-01-24 13:36

Tera Korean retail starts today (well sometime today, its only 3:30am on the 25th in Korea). I know there are some NA/EU people going to try and pick up the game and play. More info on things like battleground and the every mysterious 'political' system might be available soon.

**Foxer** · 2011-01-24 14:39

Political system for now became pretty straight forward and not as bad as I thought it would be. When thinking of politics in a game, one originally thinks it's not gonna work out, but from what they have explained so far, it seems pretty decent. And if/when they open up the cross server raids, it would make it even better.

**Vimes** · 2011-01-25 07:41

I've watched some of the streams, it really follows the standard MMO formula. But it does look fun. Which is good.

Liked the part where they fight a sort of spider. I think they are too low level, but they can hold out against it for quite long just by reading enemy patterns and avoiding its attacks. One or at most two wrong moves and you're killed. Good stuff.

I've been looking at a priest video too. There were two different ways of healing (I think): One that lets you tag (I think up to 3) characters, excluding your own, and then sets off the healing skill. And another one where you cast a radial skill on the ground and it heals anyone in it, excluding yourself again. Then there's the self heal. Shit's pretty cool, the running around etc almost reminds me of playing BRD where you had to position yourself for song buffs.

**Foxer** · 2011-01-25 11:16

^Yes. I looked into Priest and Mystic quite a lot before playing the beta, just to make sure I ended up playing something that resembles a BRD's interaction with PT. BRD was my favorite job in XI, which is why I decided to play Chanter(lol) in Aion and something similar in TERA, and Priest ended up being just enough running around and interacting with PT to convince me. The instant heal in front of you heals for a massive amount, more than twice the target heal deals, but the radius is small, and guaranteed tiny versus any Elite/Boss's AoE so it's a bit risky I guess. The target heal targets up to 2 people(at least up until beta cap) and you can't target yourself, yeah.

Also, all buffs in game from Priest are very similar to the radius heal but the circle is big enough to reach players behind and to the side of you. That mixed in with a few refresh spells and buffs, and Priest is an amazing job.

I'm so QQ the beta is actually over. : (

Most fan forums, the official one included, have threads raging over how loli they look and that the developers must be child molestors and raging perverts.

I wonder why, this pic screams loli/pedo. They look cute, but the design team went overboard w/ some of the outfits

**Foxer** · 2011-01-25 11:52

Also, fuck the people thinking their opinion on a video game character is going to change anyone's perspective on playing a certain race.

And yeah, I made sure I got only the fox ears on that pic when I took it for a reason! lololoo

Edit: You changed your pic. : (

On a side note, Elin does the game the least justice when it comes to outfits and all. Not talking about how slutty they look(that actually does the game perfect justice), but if you actually look, they are the only race in the game that looks like they might belong in another game, graphics/gear/skin/texture wise, not race wise of course, considering all the other races are extreme as well.

That's actually why I am playing Elin though. : )

**Alderaan** · 2011-01-25 12:17

I'll never understand the fascination with 12 year old half naked girls i suppose.

Give me as many options to make a 20's something pornstar instead. The kiddie shit is just creepy.
