Behold the cuteness.
When I saw this was F2P I couldn't resist rebooting up my old account. Currently have a level 19 mystic named Schnapp on the server. Applied to both guilds in the past few days with no response yet. :( I'm assuming the main is full.

If any EU brosefs want to hook up, some friends and I are playing on the Fraya (pve) server. I would like to play on US again, but my experience with playing on US servers with goons is that I end up playing to 4-5am way too often on work nights. So unless the european community descides to all roll on a US sever, I will have to stay on these crap eu servers.

Just for refrence on how horrible the EU client is, it took me 8 hours of patching, then the client decided that the patch I had wasn't up to date and patched another 8 hours, then it couldn't figure out what version I had, so I was forced to delete part of the client and redownload. However, when that was done I had to 'repair' the client since the play button wouldn't work, and I had to download another 6 hours of patching. This was never an issue with the american client/patcher. Also the game crashes every time I try to change server (which is often when I am trying to decide on class, and we only have 2 character slots on free account). gently caress me. One of my friends also had some issues with this, but he only had to repair the client once and it was ok. The support forum is pretty useless as gameforge doesn't actually provide any support, so the threads are mostly people trying different workarounds to problems, to variable success.

Now that install hell is complete and my main character is made, it's been fine so far. So it's not all bad. What is slightly disconcerting is that everyone plays elin, everyone.

That sounds great, I was dreading having to go look for a pubbie guild in this game. I know of some other goons on the server as well, so I can inform them about the guild if you don't mind, although they might already have one of their own for all I know.

Whichever works matey, if theirs is more active we'll quite happily merge into theirs and gladly accept anyone into ours. We're quite a small knit group as it is at less than 10 active players as it is.

We need to start a petition to remove nexus, or at least change it so it doesn't lag everything else in the game. Before nexus my game runs beautifully, nexus starts and I freeze or get random crashes. It's pretty annoying. Right now it's saying can't connect to server, wonder if login server is dead again.

Do any goons know how to set up a wiki that requires some of the automated goon authorization methods to view and join it? TERA really needs a real wiki, but I hate pubbies and would rather not share the wealth of knowledge if we're going to be the ones putting in the data.

All the stuff is already out there, but you could set up a wiki to more easily access all the very useful stuff that pubbie wrote on his stupid pubbie website (I think it's in the OP).

Everything is pretty much all over the place, get outdated because the OP doesn't update, and so on. There's no set strategy in a lot of them that goons follow, much like in SG.

So I got the usual memory error and it crashed to desktop. I've had it happen before, but this time, upon logging into the client and the actual game loading up, I was stopped at the server select screen. Got a popup stating 'This account is already logged in. Please select server again.' which was new. Clicked okay and upon trying to enter any of the available servers had the same popup. Refreshing the list didn't change anything. Completely closing out of the game and client and logging back in did not help.

I've changed my password in case my account was compromised but I'm wondering if anyone else has had this particular problem?


EDIT: Seems to have fixed itself! Guess the server just needed to realize I was no longer connected.

Good job! You want to hold at 9% so everyone can burn queen as low as possible during her walk. I mean in NM you can just wait out the power/attack speed buff but it's a serious pain in HM.

What a thing to advocate, maybe slightly contradictory to the in-game reminder of how long you have been playing. Also, don't forget to "play responsibly." But it's great to see that somebody's publisher is at least doing something.

Only thing I can think of off the bat is to install it on another computer or laptop, then copy the patcher/client to the computer you are going to play on before patching.

They are worth some money/gold sure, nothing really to start farming alternate accounts for. But if you're just starting up, they're a nice incentive for it.

If you can actually get a character to 60 in two weeks I think you'd be able to sell the robo-turtle-throne mount for a decent chunk of gold.

I'm really tempted to try this out, since I have no life. Considering my highest char now is at 44 though, I don't really know how viable it is to get to 60 in that time. How long time did it take people here to get to 60 the first time?

On one hand, 1-20 is around 4 hours of gameplay and hitting the minimum level for bonuses, 30, should be trivial in two weeks. 1-30 is two-three afternoons of play even if you don't rush it. On the other hand rushing straight to 60 in 2 weeks is not healthy, since the pace slows down considerably after 40 and doing 53-57 is a slog, especially if you want to do it fast and ignore the more tolerable parts of the stretch (namely, bams and instances). Of course it'll be a LOT better if you buy yourself a 7-day xp boost for the duration whitch is probably what EME is counting on.

7870 and yup. Tried with both 13.1 and 13.2 beta. Both have the same issue. No defects with the graphics card, runs fine on everything else. I'm currently reinstalling.

EDIT: Reinstall fixed the problem. Used the same files to reinstall too. so I don't know what was wrong.

a storm is coming...

I don't know much about how the cash shop stuff in this game works, so I'll just ask, are those sweet shades from the power-level event tradeable? I kinda want them, to the point of being willing to make a new account and level it up, but I don't know if it's like automatically soulbound or what. Same question for the mounts, if I even bother to go that high. I just want to get those things to my actual main.

tearshed
Mar 26, 2010

Leave it to me!
Are the mount rewards for race-to-60 exclusive to the event or available in-store? Also I was gonna ask about the soulbound business but on post preview Gaia beat me to it.

Tera EBgames/Australia status update: turns out cheap-tera was because EB was doing a big stock clearance in February and now they don't even list tera on their website anymore, despite having tera in stock in stores.

I managed to pick up a spare copy (last one in store) and asked the guy where the closest one was after this. He said it was 400kms away up the coast. Yeah. I guess I'll hold onto it for a few months and see what happens. Sydney is outta stock, QLD/VIC has stock. No idea if the price is still $12 or back to $60.

That power-leveling event may be the worst idea I've seen in an MMO ever. At best people are going to try it, burn out and probably quit the game. At worst some kid will end up hospitalized through malnourishment or dehydration and lack of sleep and they get a bunch of terrible press.

Let's take the worst aspects of MMOs and build a contest around it! :v:

Amante

I fail to see what's so bad about this contest. It seems like a fairly boilerplate attempt to get new players in the door to test drive the game, set during a promotional period of two weeks. The payouts start as low as level 30 (half of the max level), but I'm sure they know that a majority of new players won't even make it that far. Still, if it leads to a certain amount of new people trying out the game, En Masse did their job.

But, uh, boo En Masse for encouraging people to play a MMO, I guess.

Why my bullets no hit?
Having an event to get new players into a game is great, but they're sorta making the event unfriendly to the existing playerbase. Granted you just need a new tera/account but its just arbitrary requirement to hassle existing players, who would rather have their characters conveniently on one account especially if they've got founders/elite.

Eigo
Mar 21, 2010
It'd be nice if they added something in for existing 60 players, but I don't really find the lack of our part in the event insulting since it's purely to grab new players. My problem is not allowing people who are already under x level on all chars to do it with the same account they already have, I had a friend start and get founders already and now that's kind of out.

So.. I rolled on Ascension Valley, so I'm stuck there unless I want to start over, right? I've only played for a couple of hours, so it's no big loss, but I thought I'd check and see if maybe Enmasse were just slack about updating that page or something.
