TERA:

[Sanaki]

yeah i do agree a lot of reapers think theyre the **** lmao i see it all the time.. xD but idk. i feel like they should start level 1 or 40 if anything, but thats just me.

Yeah, those. I mean those 2 are aight looking hairstyles but they're simply eeverywheere! Also dislike seeing people wear big hats with the screw hair cuz the pigtails clip through it so hardd.
Sick of seeing the last two faces aswell, they're annoyingly snooty looking and seeing other elins with em wearing like a maid outfit and glasses really irks me. Those eyes + the glasses make me gag for some reason.

But seriously screw Reapers, I hate seeing reapers so so much. Their stance is annoying, their outfits are annoying, the fact it's elin only and the whole lvl 58 bs is annoying. It's like if a pokemon game just decided to have you choose from multiple characters and one of them starts you off right before the Elite four. You really miss out on alot of content.

then dont play a reaper lol

then dont play a reaper lol

Not planning to :b

I know Reapers aren't ya'lls favorites... but uh... ANYONE HEAR ABOUT THE NEW ENGINEER COMIN OUT?!
Unfortunately it's only restricted to High Elf female/Castanic Females.

 

[Sanaki]

my friend plans to main the engineer, hes a zerk main atm tho xD

 

[TaliZorah]

I was totally gonna make a Mystic High Elf until I saw this... now I'm saving my last spot for a high elf engineer!

Level 1 would be a good starting point, because that's where literally all other classes start. Reaper gets special treatment in that regard. Were they too lazy to balance it for earlier levels or something? I guess there's people getting themselves powerleveled, which isn't following the game either. However those people pay for it 99% of the time, while Reapers get the 50 first levels as a freebie (with the other 8 being automatically gained during the tutorial stage).

I think that if they're willing to make it available for one class to start at such a high level, then it should be available for more or even all classes. Just give a short class-specific tutorial, then drop them in one of the main hub cities at level 58.
Admittedly, I'd still think it's a load of bull, but less than I do now.

The whole Reaper thing just sets me off. I also knew that I wouldn't be putting much time into that character after going through the tutorial stage, so just deleted it a day or two after I went through the tutorial. I'm more comfortable with the Archer class than the Reaper's semi-ranged combat.

 

[TaliZorah]

The Reapers are specifically for end-game dungeons, items, etc.
I remember En Masse saying that when they came out.

Same with how they had a free level 58 character thing a long time ago.
I deleted mine, didn't like starting at such a high level.

Unfortunately it's only restricted to High Elf female/Castanic Females.

The Gunner class (as it's apparently going to be called in English) looks pretty interesting. I do wish there was no race restriction though. I don't want to play a female HE, and I'm already playing a female Castanic.

It looks like a more aggressively built Mystic, with the Mystic having the Thralls and the Gunner having the robutts, and the Gunner also having various support skills. I might give it a shot once it becomes available, but I wouldn't say that I'm itching to know the date they make it available.

I figured it was going to be a cloth class, like a heavier priest or something.. but they use heavy armor...
So... maybe they have skills that are melee range? (Besides the ones that jump you back ofc.)

From what I've seen Gunner seems like a slow artillery class with relatively slow but high dmg gun attacks and aoe +a robot that heals looks a bit sluggish aswell. Probably gonna try maining it if it's even a little like mystic. Always wanted an excuse to make a castanic :b

Iirc there being a long ass video with a korean dude explaining all the available moves and ****, got a bit too lazy to watch it but I'm sure anyone could find it by searching for it

I had no clue about the engineer/gunner class... sounds fun though!!

So I've been having a lot of fun playing TERA, but it runs so poorly. I can barely play without something stuttering or getting a lag spike from hell. I really like the game, but I don't know how long I can keep playing. It's so immensely frustrating.

Edit-- I fixed some of the lag. I just got overly frustrated more than anything else. ;^^

Unfortunately, my laptop is about 5 years old and it's still great and fast, but my graphics card is like... slowly dying or something. I have to play it on the lowest settings possible and it sucks, but at least I still get to chill on it.

I turn everything on high except for the last 2 things at the bottom, which dictates actual graphics and shadows. My game looks like a ps2 game ;-;

That sucks. :'( I just turned off the shadows and a couple other things and it's running better now.

Since I'm European and playing the NA TERA I sometimes experience network connectivity issues. The graphics are lowered a bit to lower the amount of lag, since loading areas will sometimes freeze the game for a second or two. That might also be due to me rarely rebooting my computer, because I do notice that freezing becomes worse as the days go by.

So they released the patch notes of the update that's coming out today, and I really like a lot of it.
Link for the lazy.
The balancing changes to Archer and Mystic sound great. The only thing I'm not too excited about is that there's less spots to gather plants/ores/essences (even though it's easier now). I'm so close to 350 with all three.

Also, the most important change: "Fall damage can now result in death."




Might as well post a pic of my character at this point.

Spoiler

I ride Cinder and have Rambo (named Jude) picking up all my stuff because I'm too lazy. My character still needs something for their head, but I'm very picky about that because a lot of stuff takes away the horns. I'm currently thinking of the Black Cat Hat, but it's 30k on the Broker, lol.

 

[pocky]

I'm saving up for a new PC so that I can play games without lag. Right now TERA runs smoothly when I'm leveling, but it lags in some of the end game dungeons which makes it practically impossible for me to do any of the end game content. Even with low graphics.

I GUESS I'LL SHARE MY CHARACTER PICTURES

Spoiler: haaha

gif i made of my reaper Artichaut

my old reaper, I still have her but want to delete her

[TaliZorah]

I'm gonna have a fun time falling off cliffs to die.

 

[pocky]

(Pssst you should finish it!)
I prefer older Elins tbh. I ALWAYS get the height enhancer for my Elins to make them hella tall.
They look so nice in the outfits when they're taller. Short is cute but they look so tubby.

Isn't the art amazing? It's made by http://destinyblue.deviantart.com/
She's AMAZING.
