That's actually how my late-to-the-party rear end found out about it. My appetite for schadenfreude is kind of high, though, so I was hoping for more.

GoodCitizen, your posts in there are making me laugh way too hard, for the record.

As for the missing characters, it seems that they're pretty quickly restoring those that they can, so if yours is missing you should definitely file a support ticket:

There goes their plan of e-fame.

Also, if there's a bounty on our heads... could we just not find someone to split the money with?

Also, this is highly unrelated to the topic of Tera but I was checking out what other videos that channel had and came upon this:

Is assembling a set of PVP gear the herculean pain in the rear end that it seems to be? From what I gather you need to run nexus a bunch to get agnitor rep, buy crafting ingredients from the vendors, get the recipe from ???, masterwork it all, reroll the enchanting bonuses, and then upgrade it all to the max. Is there more or less to it than that?

You can buy the weapons/gear themselves for gold from players now, but it's all pretty much correct.

PvP gear is expensive and grinding it is tedious. Especially tedious when you go into BG without them and get destroyed by everyone with gear. You do 60 damage crits while taking 98k crits from everyone and flopping over dead every 20 seconds. I wish the good PvE accessories didn't come from PvP. I should just go back to being a carebear.

I just found out something pretty amazing about Slayers that has made mine go from "pretty fun" to "pretty fun and unkillable". I'm just level 30, but it turns out the glyph that says "Heals you for 3% immediately" on overhead strike actually heals you for 3% per target hit apparently. It's made me go from killing everything but running low on HP sometimes to killing everything but keeping full HP.

Yeah I just got back into it and I see that the PVP gear gap between new players and anyone with a single conjunct piece or anything or better is even more massive of a gear gap than anything from wow. You can't do anything as a fresh 60. DOES ANYONE HAVE A GOOD AFK BOT?! :ssj:

I read through the OP and the official website, but their class descriptions seem to be meager at best. What class in TERA is considered the jack of all trades? It's all right if it's the master of none as well. In WoW I loved my druid, in Guild Wars 2 I have my engineer. I played a necromancer in Everquest, but that doesn't count. I like being able to have my cake and eat it too. If that's not possible, I guess I'll default to a heavy class.

Just dinged 60 tonight. Now onto grind number 2 I suppose. Is there an end game guide write up somewhere? I looked and noticed that some of the weapons can be crafted and others are drops from the hard modes. With the PvP talk I'm reading that I would want gear from PvP rewards as well? Yay...

I have limited knowledge but Berserker is a heavy armour DPS class with self healing attacks, and Warrior is a medium armour class who can DPS or tank. I don't think there's any other "hybrid" classes of any kind in TERA though I might be wrong, i've only played a couple of them. The warrior is really the only one i'd say can do more than one thing well.

Warrior, I guess? They can tank and dps and PvP decently. There isn't really an all trades class since healing is fairly specialized. Mystic is kind of the hybrid healer but I don't think it's what you're looking for.

Lancer seems like a lot of fun. I've only played a little bit of a few classes so far, but Berserker and Lancer seem to be a lot more enjoyable with their block mechanic than Warrior/Slayer. I'd like dodging a lot better if it was more like GW2's with invincibility frames, but that'd probably break the game or something.

Hurrah for endgame.

Attempt at nexus #1: Died to monsters that never loaded, ended up in a raid, died to mobs that didn't load inside the instance, somehow didn't trigger the appropriate flag and got no credit for doing it.

What do you need to do at the end of traverse to actually get credited for doing traverse?

How is the party queue for instances now that server gone to free to play? I still remember Lancer can get into patch matches for instances quite quickly follow by Priest/Mystics. DPS classes are the slowest to get a match.

Dodge rolls actually do get invincibility frames. In fact, the various backsteps and teleports of ranged classes should all have invincibility frames. I don't see how a Slayer could survive some of the ridiculous AoE death attacks of later instances (*cough*crucible of fire*cough*) without invincibility frames. :v:

Yeah there's that half-second where you can pass through enemies and I always thought that bit was invincible.

Up until I saw that Popori Slayer video earlier I didn't realise how loving COOL their dodge were (I assume that's what they were doing when they just breakdance on the sword?). So cool.

Trihugger
Jun 28, 2008

hello
There is most definitely invincibility frames on Slayer/Warrior dodges. Plus Warriors get Death from Above which is an attack that's also a dodge that has more invincibility frames than a normal dodge. Warriors also get an attack that reduces any damage they take while performing the attack. The normal dodge seems to be invincible the entire time you're in the air, but it has recovery frames when you hit the ground so you can't immediately go into another move. Blocking doesn't have any significant recovery frames so going from a class that primarily blocks to a class that primarily dodges feels more vulnerable. It's frustrating at first, but you get used to it. I definitely preferred blocking more than dodging when I first picked up the game.

Well I've learned an impressive new way to gently caress people over in this game. As tank, wipe the rest of your party when boss is nearly dead, then kill him. Wait for loot to go public, take it all. Laugh at them in black&white, and leave.



I didn't bother saying anything, it wouldn't have changed anything, and it was only normal mode. Explains why I died twice right at the end - vicious.vix was working to drag the big attacks at everyone else.

Hmm, if I spot this happening I'll be sure to save my self rez buff for after the guy has killed the boss. The more you know. Especially if the tank starts behaving erratically when the boss is low on health.

In particular, it's possible to use the buff to rez, then it's already cooled down (since you cast a buff that lets you rez) so you can rebuff yourself with it and then if you die again, you can rez a second time.


Also, how much does a name change go for again...

EDIT: I just tried a minute ago, and every server now gives me a "Server is Unavailable" message, where before it wasn't doing anything. Maybe I tried to login during Nexus and my request is timing out or something.

Outstanding afternoon. "I've often said there's nothing better for the inside of a man than the outside of a horse."

Wow, the lance that the lancer uses is insanely annoying. Couldn't they have just given him a sword or something? Having absolutely no horizontal attack range other than a single point is just brutal in this kind of combat system.
