TERA Online

i feel like such a noob. i haven't really gotten into any MMOs in the past so finding my way around the UI is difficult.

btw is there a way to hold your weapon without pressing the attack button?

I just whipped up a quick enchantment guide. Most of this is guesswork so I could be totally wrong :)

Some equipment cannot be enchanted, I'm not quite sure why.

Another small one about crystals.

Note about the enchanting, you buy the Enchant Salts at a General Goods vendor. They're marked by an item sack on your N overlay map while in towns.

Since this game runs on UE3, do you think a modern day laptop would be able to run this on low settings? Wondering because some of my friends want to buy this when it hits America.

If it has an Intel gpu, it's not going to end well for being playable.
Like he just got a new Dell last week kind of new.

I will have to go over there and see what GPU it has.

Here's an explanation of item tool-tips. Note that only items of the same Enchant Tier (not Enchant Level) can be enchanted together. Enchant Level just shows how strong the Enchantment is.

This is a General Goods vendor located in the capital city.

Still undecided what class to choose, they all look like fun

Here is a link to the glyphs you can start using at level 25.

Also, here is the link for a translated page of the crystal page I posted earlier. You should use this in conjunction with it.

My plan is to just use up the 30 days then wait till the US version comes out.

Alright, so I've got the client d/l through a torrent though I'm not really sure where to go from here. I use the Start Game option (after logging) on the main page and I get some message and the launcher stops.

Edit:

Here's a screenshot:

Dark purple (left box). You're just agreeing that you're over 18.

You need to hit the bottom right button, below the big orange play button, to verify your files.

Also, new guild members, be sure to hit the B button to bring up the guild roster. The guild message contains the Vent info. Join us!

You might've been right, actually.

Did you apply a timecard yet, Ccrook?


I don't believe so. I got the info from Kyoufu but don't know the specifics if he applied the timecard yet. I'd assume no though.

Edit: Where do I find to apply the time?

One second and I'll post a guide.

Okay.

First go to tera.hangame.com and then login. After you do, click on the highlighted link.

Next scroll down and check the highlighted box.

Select from the drop-down menu the bottom option (I think). The third option only gives you one field, I believe. If you need two fields select the bottom one (a two-part code).

If for some reason you don't get two fields with either option, then select the highlighted button.

Check the highlighted check box.

Agreed to the terms of service.

Enter your code and check the highlighted checkbox.

Click the highlighted box to verify your code, then hit the okay button at the bottom of the page.

That's it, hit the checkbox to confirm.

You should be able to log in now.

Ah okay, got that done and applied. I still get that error or whatever. The one thing I ran into as a skip step was that TERA Invoker file. The torrent I got it from has it as a .zip file. Maybe that's the issue. Any way of getting the file?

Sure is. Insayne hosted it on his site.

You just need the Invoker, the rest is there if you feel like using his little application for automatically logging in.

I'm not on atm, I quit the game for lunch, now its re downloading files again?
When I typed in /w Yin "message" it filled in a bunch of Korean characters as well, dont know if that had anything to do with it.. I'll try again once I get back on



Edit: ok, this is kinda annoying....game has to download around 60megs worth of files every time I run the launcher, anyone else having the same issue?

After you patch verify the files.

That should fix your problem.

Also no need for quotes on the message, that might have caused a problem.

Rated W for weaboo.

An MMO full of furries, lolis and upskirts. but it also has big swords. What more could a basement dweller ask for :lol
 
Vivin,

It's normal for it to fill in Korean characters when it recognizes that you're sending a private message to another player.


got my lancer to level 8 having a lot of fun.. definitely not out of quests yet..

I am really enjoying the game.. especially now that I figured out a combo with my lancer.

You really came in to the thread to waste a post and risk membership with a blatant troll? Really?

Junior doesn't know that when Juniors get banned, their bans are permanent. Time to learn.

If anybody can read Korean, this might be useful:

A player summarizes all the problems currently in K-Tera. Oddly enough, his complaints sound a lot like the complaints Western players have with MMOGs too. I guess the things people don't like are universal and transcend culture, language, and other barriers. He also complains a lot about Warriors and what they're supposed to be doing, especially compared to Lancers. I wonder if I should keep playing a Warrior. Well, I might as well for a bit longer until I think it sucks, then I can roll a Panda.

game still wants to update some files, even after I verify..oh well, got in game and had a blast on my Slayer :)

and yeah, I wasn't trying to whisper using quotes, I guess you weren't online when I first tried to send a message, cheers for the invite ^^

after about 1hour of confusion, the game finally clicked for me, cant wait to try out some grouping

Sorry about the Vent awkwardness, Max. You dropped in right when we were in the middle of an instance. I felt really bad about not being able to talk a lot. Tomorrow is just casual questing so drop by and we can chat more.

Me just starting out, first sight I see :)

The magic horsey ride is really an impressive ride.

This game doesn't have a Loading screen. It has a FUCKAWESOME PORTAL SCREEN:

Remember the first time you started Oblivion? Remember the city flyover opening cinematic? Now imagine it being rendered in real-time by Unreal Engine 3:
tera5.jpg


Yes, this is the game's first main city. You fly into it and land on the game's version of a helipad, though it's actually a flying magic horsey pad.

Well, this kind of comment has 0,1% amount of "sense" in it, so... your point is?
