I don't mind open world PvP if the penalty for dying isn't too bad. In Aion for example, dying at a high rank was such a huge fuck you that you rarely saw anyone from the opposing faction unless they had just spent all their points and consequently been demoted. However, I actually liked how L2 dealt with gankers a lot, which was that killing someone who didn't fight back got you flagged with a red name, and if you died you had a huge chance of dropping items.

Ok, I'm still not seeing why we should wait to play XD?

You don't have to if you don't want to. I was just saying that there's a possible level cap raise by next month and people usually just buy 30 days only.

I'm sure I've mentioned this, but it's OWPK, not OWPVP. They've already mentioned it was going to change here in the US though, due to having both PVP and PVE servers.

PK here means you have to go through a flagging system. It doesn't mean you have to accept, or have a chance to decline though. You're in a PVP server so you should expect nothing less than getting ganked every once in a while. The difference here is that it will use tokens depending on the level difference between the attacker and the guy getting ganked. If you chose to camp a lv.40 grind spot at lv.50, just to kill incoming lv.40s, it flags you as a different color, a la L2, and you lose points, as opposed to gaining points, a la Aion, where it's impossible to lose AP for ganking. It's basically like losing AP for camping lower levels. Contrary to Aion though, a lv.35 with +15 gear can't out PVP a lv.50 Glad. So chances are you would win as a lv.50. If you get your ass handed to you as a lv.50, you lose points, not as much as Aion, due to the fact that the person you're dying to is more than likely your level, or at most a few levels lower.

If a PT decides to gank you, there's nothing you do hehe. : )

You guys want to set up a channel to talk in? Like what Terafans was?

[Cichy]

So anyone on Mystell could hook me up with an ls? my char on there is Cichy
btw the game looks outstanding, very impressed so far

[Burningthought]

Oh yeah, is the game ALT-Tab friendly?

I have no vent/mic but we can run some GL if you want. I would like to clear all 4 wings before the supposed level cap. : (

Glad you like it. What level are you now? Maybe we can set on my alt once I get my launcher working again. Should be tomorrow.

Yeah.

[Cichy]

I'm only lvl 6 now, finished installing it like hour ago, probably wont have much time to play till tomorrow evening.

I had meant like a channel, as in an in game text channel. Similar to how channels are in WoW. For a while, the TeraFans community had one set up, but I don't think it's been kept up at all (I haven't been able to enter it anyhow)

I fail at Korean otherwise I would attempt to set it up myself.

Someone let me know when any open beta for this game in English comes out, that's what I'm waiting for.

[Leashedragon]

Tried to apply for the closed beta but I guess Comcast hates their forums. I can't receive the confirmation email to make a forum account to apply. It wasn't even in my spam folder. This is a common issue for Comcast and signing up for MMOs. Guess I'll try making it again with my Gmail I had to setup as a back up.

I honestly was never really interested in the game when I first saw videos/pictures for it. The armor really didn't help. Yes, I'm one who doesn't care for the skimpy armor, but to each their own. I thought it was rather funny when I thought, "Well, the little loli catgirl should be good on ar-oh my dear lord... well it's slightly more covering I guess."

I'm really leaning towards making an Elin. I can't resist a catgirl character. Although I do rather like the Castanic's with their horns and badassery. I even thought about the lizardy/rock female as well(their race name escapes me at the moment.)

As for a class I'm still up in the air. None really stand out. I'm normally a pet class person and I see Mystic has "summons", but beyond that it just doesn't look interesting. Lancer and Berserker were the only two that I think I might enjoy as well as Priest if I could get use to the no-target healing.

[Maguspk]

We should make a guild of Elins, I know that's what I'm playing.

[Grey Jorildyn]

Gonna be starting up a guild for this as soon as they give us a release date. Game looks pretty dang solid. Even got a gm ready to take the reigns on this one for my gaming community.

Dunno what it is abot these korean games that draw so many players. Here's hoping it delivers where Aion did not.

Arista lv47 sorc on Mystel. Send me a friend invite!

I think a lot of it is how fantastic these games look. From the sounds of it though, it'll probably do far better than Aion did.

Ur guild / community or w/e it's called are ppl who Zerg to endgame always though and it seems like u make an mmo a job from day 1. That's some ppls thing, just saying ur community seems to be doing this for every mmo

On a side note, does the game seem like a mix of "end game" world bosses and raids? (what are the raids for this game, or is it just 5-6 player end game instances). I know there are random world bosses for various levels, which I love, and I love end game world bosses... I just hope there are end game instances that give as good / better gear

[Katlan]

double.. first thing in the morning ftw

[Weltall]

Please God, do not let instances give better gear than World Bosses....

Low drop rate + low spawn rate + competition for claim = win.

Just out of curiousity, is your char name from the book series, "Riyria Revelation"?

I think on a few occassions, BHS has said they want the "best" end game gear to come from instances, however other end game gear like crafted and dropped from world bosses would be "very close" in value/usefulness. Maybe it will translate into something minor like a +1 vs +2 difference. I doubt we'll see anything like FFXI gear from Kings and Sky that was top tier for a super long time by a very large margin.

Don't suppose anyone else had trouble DLing the client? I'm logged in/using IE and on the http://www.tera.hangame.com/pds/download.nhn page but clicking the pic only brings up a small window, asks me to provide admin priv for something, then displays my PC specs compared to min/req. But the GPU section is blank x.x Using CF 5770's with latest drivers
