They patched the elite-boost abuse. There's now a 10 minute cooldown on them.

I wonder if that'll make a difference in gold influx? I.E. how much was this being abused?

If you go over 500 hours you stop being able to buff yourself, pick up motes, bandage, crystalbind etc etc. Do not go overboard.

Well not exactly 500 but if you spam it a lot.

Yeah it's all about the broker.

I keep finding a bug with my Slayer which I find hilarious. If you overhand strike on a target but hit a terrain hiccup mid swing, your guy will just hop up in the air a little then as he lands the enemy takes the overhand damage.

It's pretty great to just bunnyhop someone to death.

Careful with that one. You'll be knocked down if you take damage while in a jumping animation.

I think it's because of their PVP power with the mobility and chain stunning? Either way it sucks!

Speaking of sucks, I just noticed the server my warrior is on has no high level stuff. The top on the tradebroker is Abyss. Most of it is Victor and Deathstain.

Too bad I suck at PVP with my Warrior :(
Slayer is much more fun to DPS with so pretty much the only thing left to do on my Warrior is tank.

^^ Abyss is good enough for 99% of PVE content, and you should buy Regent/Fraywind directly from MCHM/BG people.

Make a level 20 alt, give it all your money, buy something that's cheap on another server and expensive on yours, transfer back with another level 20 alt. Repeat until you have absurd amounts of cash.

Abyss weapons are 8-12k for popular classes and half that for healers/archers on MT.

As far as I can tell the leveling paths are very set. So yes, it will be exactly how you said. But it might get better 40+ (though I doubt it as I remember reading that the zones follow the story quests pretty much 1:1.)

I got kind of cocky and decided to turn area chat back on on my level 47 dude and it was all good. Then I go and play my alt and I get someone explaining that he's a hebophile (???) not a pedophile and that he knows the laws and now I feel like I should shower and contact the authorities.

I really like the gameplay in this game but the playerbase is reaally making me wish it was different game.

Its really strange how I haven't seen anything like that in the EU version. At most people use Area chat to ask for groups or whine about PK's and I have had it always on. I did turn off the global chat at around level 20 because people were just really stupid. Maybe Europeans are just not so weird/creepy by nature.

According to the class forum on Tera's site, warriors will "soon" get assault/defensive stance 3. The assault stance giving a boost to dps. Of course that's if it actually happens, and if the other dps don't also get a bump at the same time.

Decided to give Tera a try after it went F2P, and I'm really enjoying it so far. Got a berserker at 42 which is a lot of fun, but I also tried sorcerer, and I can't get the hang of it. It seems that trying to kite mobs just ends in aggroing everything around me and getting killed. Am I just a really bad player?

Also, another question: I'm noticing my bank starting to fill up, but I don't really know what I should save and what I could just sell off. I've got a lot of different runes, will these be nice to have if/when I decide to level my crafting, or are they all so cheap there's no point in having them taking up my inventory space?

This, also "I like hentai". Nothing really weird though, just stupid people and lots of different languages (even though it's supposedly an English server).

You don't really kite in this game. You mostly look for attack wind ups and circle around the enemy to dodge since it generally doesn't turn once the move starts

I never got really far as a sorc but as I understand it the fighting is more about dumping all of your mana into damage as fast as possible before the enemy has a chance to do much damage

Decided to check the game out again now that it's F2P (briefly tried it in beta).

I made a Castanic Warrior and things seem pretty cool so far. One of the random voiceclips during attacks sounds a whole lot like the classic "SEGA!" voiceclip, though!

I have sorcerer and what I do is agro a large group of mobs, run away for bit then turn around and start casting the big AoE fire thingy you get pretty early on, I think before you get to go to Sinistral Manor, then just backstep a lot while casting other stuff. Sometimes this leads to me accidentally running into even more mobs and dying.

Warriors are something that fall off in efficiency for every warrior in the party. Their debuffs add a large amount of damage for other members, but if they're under geared or there's more warriors it doesn't work out.

Actually, most bosses can be soloed. The boss he is talking about has a crapload of health and not much else, so I imagine trying to kill him with 2 is more an exercise in grinding than actually hard.

I'm assuming the main guild is full (at 300 memebers when I did a search for it) so applied to the overflow guild as well. I'd heard there is a weeklong cool-down between leaving and joining another guild is that correct?

Yes and no. There is a cool down, but it start when you join the guild.

Do you have a set time where you run dungeons or something? I still need to run pretty much all of the lv 60 ones.
