I'm not really offended by the global or area chat at all. The only thing that saddens me is the fact that it's not more amusing. Pulling off the same jokes as lunch-day, every day, all day, is just tiring. In many other games you can expect a good laugh once in a while by keeping an eye on the chat while leveling, well in Tera you will not. I'm assuming this is the case for all servers. This is one of the reasons a healthy guild chat and voice servers are required. Phosphia fucked around with this message at 17:50 on Feb 12, 2013 |

lethial posted:I am not too bothered by the chats neither. Though I am annoyed that sometimes I miss the more important stuff (like guild chat or someone LFG for the same thing that I am doing). That and it seems that there is no escaping the annoying chats since it seems that people can and will crap up any channel being it area or LFG or Global... Well, there is nothing wrong with doing every single quest. You do however have an advantage if you know when you can skip one and when you can not, by following the story quests. Do however stay far away from repeatables and "proof of kill" quests, if they are even still in the game. Phosphia fucked around with this message at 19:18 on Feb 12, 2013 |

lethial posted:Oh dear... I have been trying to do every quest, even if I have out leveled them... I figured XP is XP right? (I strongly suspect that this is not the case, maybe I should just grind...) I'd say skip BAM quets unless you have a group to do it effectively. Also only do instances once, for the quests. quote:Couple questions on that. The repeatable quests, where does one use the currency that you get from those? Those little badge things. I've just been tossing them in my bank whenever I get one, because I can't find where they're used. And is that currency going to be the same at low levels vs. high levels? Or is there a level 60 version of repeatable quest tokens? Otherwise it seems like people would grind the lowest level easiest repeatable quest for the currency, assuming it's actually used to purchase anything worthwhile. Well, the only tokens you should farm are Catharnach Awards, these can be used by the guild leader to level up the guild and these same tokens are needed when you as guild want to enter the Vanarch term. (Guilds can rule areas of the map for a period of time) All the other tokens you get through these quests are hardly worth anything. You can go to Velika and buy gear for each kind of token respectively. I never found it worthwhile. You can however use the tokens for an ALT.

BobTheJanitor posted:I did a PUG for SM last night, and the Sorcerer kept running ahead and pulling things without a word. The Lancer kept getting pissed off and telling me not to heal him. Which I didn't really want to do anyway, since all the aggro ends up on me and I end up kiting a train in circles. The Sorcerer never responded to anything anyone said and just kept pulling, the Lancer got pissed and dropped group, and we were left with no tank, except an idiot sorcerer who apparently thought he was a tank. We still did the two vamp mini bosses, mostly with me kiting them in circles, but I decided to drop before the last guy. I would have been more annoyed, but it was just such a classic MMO dungeon PUG situation that I only found it amusing, having not done an MMO dungeon in a couple years. The leader is able to requeue/recruit. Always mark 'yes' at 'I'm able to lead' when you queue up for an instance.

No. Mounts are for all of your characters. You can find it here: ALT -> Activities -> Item Claim -> Account Items. You can adjust titels by clicking 'V'. Note that mounts obtained through in-game means are only for that one character, with the account wide mount from the shop being the only exepction.

Harik posted:So how do I PvP as a sorc? I know I can't do poo poo to gankers above my level, but similar to my level I should be able to put the hurt on at least. I take it you're still leveling then. Sorcs are also very good at PvP while leveling, much better than most classes. Don't try to use any charge up attacks really, just use your abilities to keep yourself at range. Around 20+ the lock on skills are the best, combined with magma bomb. At level 20 I was able to kill three people at my own level simply due to the good kite abilities and that one nasty sleep lock-on skill. Ice Needle is also much faster now after the recent patch, along with a couple other spells.

Really confusing. I've not been oblivious to the fact that they are not all of the same hitbox. They stated they would try to equalize best possible. I don't recall them saying how they would do it though. They havn't gone into reach though, that should still be as posted in the video in the other thread. Here. But in all honesty, I don't mind that there is a difference between the races.

CodfishCartographer posted:So I'm playing with a friend of mine who normally mains priest, but is currently playing as a mystic. Her priest is level 60, and her mystic is 42, and she seems super frustrated with the class, claiming basically everything it does priest just does better. Any tips I can relay to her or general mystic guides for being effective and having fun? She spams heals and balls at us and keeps us alive and is doing her job fine, but I guess she feels she doesn't do anything else BEYOND that, other than spamming left clicks and the occasional power increase buff. Everything else is a super weak DPS that puts her in harm's way, or a pet that gets one-shotted. I've never played either so I don't really have much of a clue. If it matters, we're in a small group of her, our warrior friend, and myself as a lancer. I've not been playing it at a high level, but word has it the priest does indeed do everything better. The one thing the mystic has that the priest does not is the extra DPS buff. As a lancer, I don't really care if I have a priest or a mystic with me. The play styles are also very different. I'd say place more balls. Balls are good.

Kingtheninja posted:Is there a significant stat difference in race/class selections? Still letting the client download, going to try looking for a box at best buy after work tonight. This game looks really fun. There is obviously a difference between the classes, but all races can be any class. The races all have some racial abilities, but this is not something you should worry about. The hit box is not entirely the same either, but I have not experienced this being a problem at all. You should pick the class you enjoy playing the most and the race you think suits it best.

Tarq posted:1. How does outlaw work? I understand it as you flag yourself as able to attack other players, but what is the downside? Seems like on a PvP server you'd want the ability to attack people. You use an ability to declare yourself an outlaw. You will now be able to attack anyone you please outside of safe areas. But this also means everyone around you will be able to attack you as well. This will often result in you being ganked really hard if there are too many people around and you're alone. You can group up with other people and have everyone declare themselves outlaw, you will then not be able to deal damage to eachother when in the party. You can choose to disable outlaw once outside combat again, this is if you have not killed somsone ~ 7 levels under yourself. If you have, you have gained something called 'infamy'. This is a number that deceases very slowly over time or whenever you kill a mob of your own level. While this number is not yet down at 0, you will not be able to remove the outlaw effect.

Boggus posted:Anyone got any advice on how to tank instances with a lancer? I have done the first two instances so far without wiping but I feel like I am not utilizing block to avoid damage to the fullest. Any tips and tricks on when to use block, what abilities to focus on and so forth? Trying to read enemies attack patterns are kinda tough when fighting trash packs with all the graphical clusterfuck these fights can be. Trash mobs are really simple, also if you have an army infront of you. Simply jump back, taunt and block. The more mobs you taunt, the more resolve you gain. You won't get hit a single time and you can keep doing this to the end of your days. Tanking a lot of mobs has become extremely easy for lancers since their last buff. On single target just make sure to keep debilitate up on three stacks, shield counter and taunt as often as possible. If the attack pattern of the boss is extremely slow, fill in double bash, spring attack and wallop when the combo is ready. Using Menacing Wave whenever it's up is also great, both for you and your DPS. As long as you can keep agro, it's more a question of style. Our DPS makes for little difference. If you have not yet, make sure you glyph both slots in shield counter. In some fights it's best to keep block up most of the time and rely on shield counter to activate and in other fights you may feel very comfortable with the attack pattern, thus allowing you to simply flash block by only cliking the block ability instead of holding it down.

I noticed that I have unlocked a buttload of new flight paths when I hit 30 - Can I just go to these places and begin questing there too, or is it recommended to follow the story? Very recommended indeed. Your story quests will take you to all the zones you would have gone to anyway. If you're feeling aimless by following these quests, you'll have no sense of direction on your own for sure. Leveling in Tera is much more linear (with zones) than other games.

Certainly not efficient in term of xp/hour. But I enjoyed the journey. By the time that I hit the level 52 grind, I was well on the way to 57 and couple sky garden runs later I was 57 and before I knew it I got to 58. Well if you decide to grind a lot, it should be the yellow and not the story quests you skib. For other people, fear not, 58-60 is a lot easier than you would think. These two last levels were designed way later than the rest. This team decided to make it a lot easier. You'll find yourself one-combo'ing all the mobs again once you set foot in the new zones.

It's a good idea to know the different attack patterns on the various BAMs, as you'll meet them all again later. In ToT for instance you'll need to solo one as a part of the instance.

Question Mark Mound posted:So I'm almost level 40 and, if my Broker sales go through, I should have 500g showing up on my doorstep soon. I know that's not a lot at all compared to the numbers you're all talking about, but it's way more than I've ever had. Found someone selling Shetla Fibers for way below normal price so combined them with the Fibers I'd been gathering and have put a bajillion Healing Potion Vs on the market. The standard recommendation is to save up as much gold you can to level 60 and wait with crafting as well. Gear will replace itself in quests less than two levels above your current and crafting is hardly worth the time if you compare it to how fast you can do it at 60. Leveling gathering isn't a bad idea though.
