Just a warning for you lads This game is dangerous.
There i was earlier making a new priest.
In walks the wife and a friend as im staring at the screen choosing hair style.
All i hear is "what the hell are you playing" "what sort of game is this" "why do they all have big boobs" "do they have to have short skirts" "what do you actually do in a game like this"

Loving this game. Did my first dungeon raid in the Secret Base and killed a couple BAM's. Was great craic!

Newaglish

Is there any way to demo/free trial the game? Wouldn't mind giving it a go!

This is what awaits those who manage to get past level 35, simply stunning.

The game is simply stunning imo, i knew it was coming for a while but somehow it slipped under my radar until now.
Nowhere near the hype of other games but wow is it impressive to play.

ShaneScouse

Ye its daftly good looking, very diverse aswell just went from a pirate grove area to a mansion full of ghosts (and 'fluffy mr purfect' cat mobs ) to a vast sand desert.

Although I did just try solo one of the stone golem BAMs with the hole in the middle of them not sure if anyone will know the ones, found it really hard cause of there massive aoe hits and huge leap attacks, got it to about 4% morale after 25mins and nish kiting, and got 1 shot for 15k by a swing attack he done after i got knocked over by a very unlucky skill misclick that froze me in place, i raged quit

YouSavedMyLife

Agreed with above posters, the game is absolutely beautiful. Wait till you see the lake with the whirlpool....FROZEN SOLID. Forget the name but its the first snow area you come to in the game and my god was i blown away by that frozen lake. Favorite zone so far.

Dcully

As an mmo player of far too many years and mmos this game is just soooo good guys,i cant stop playing it.
I had my first really late nights gaming lastnight in years - till 3am.
Ran a few instances with my healer ,one with ktulu from boards here and sweet lord i havent enjoyed gaming so much in a long time.
The healing in tera is just immense,aiming my crosshair onto my party members to heal them,tactically timing and placing where to throw down my aoe heal circles,really very enjoyable.
My only complaint if any is the generic questing so far but having said that the combat is so good that all i want to do is kill stuff and throw heals at people
The scale of the world is mind boggling,the graphics are easily the best in any mmo,did i mention the combat? oh the combat!
Im on Velik pve server,add Efioanaes and Xolara if yuor on this server

I can't beat that stupid boss at the end of the island of dawn. The priest keeps getting higher DPS than me, and because I'm on a buddy pass, I can't use chat to get a group to do the instance! Very annoying, really unsure as to whether I'll buy the full game or not.

What class are you?
I soloed it easy on 3 characters when i was on buddy pass, tank,priest and slayer.

Cina

I'm Mystic.

Dunno, I'm constantly whacking the thing with all my attacks but when it's dead nothing happens, which I assume is down to the priest doing more dmg, unless it's bugged.

Nah mystic shouldnt have prob with dps, just make sure u stay near NPC so it will heal you so just tank and dps boss whole time, use all ur skills and make sure you have gone to trainer before so you have all ur skills updated if your still using lvl 4 skills they might not hit enough, theres a bug if u do less then 50% of the dps on boss it wont complete quest, but Ive only ever heard of a priest having probs with it mystic dps is good on low lvls.

If it does bug out then just press 'P' and go to Instances-reset on your profile page, then just go back and reenter the instance and do it again should work fine regardless of dps you do, but do make sure you hammer it. If you want to make sure the npc dont do much dps, then when u enter instance run all the way to the boss dont fight he adds, he will get stuck in the room behind fighting few adds while you do boss, then when he does come into room then adds will all reset because they reset when u get that cutscene vid, the npc just gets waylayed behind for a min or 2.

Also you can group, you have to create it and Inv a full account player though, they cant inv you. Ive grped with trials other day, but can only join with 1. I think I have a slayer alt around lvl 9, I can do it with you this evening quickly if your still stuck :P

That priest at the end didn't heal me at all, though i was moving around like a nutter so maybe he couldn't. I barely managed to survive, and i think i was at about 5% health when he went down.

Cool, I'll give that a go. I did think I was doing enough damage throughout the battle but I guess not.

Ah caved in and just bought the digital download, hopefully be able to get into the game the next hour. Is there a designated server yous are all playing on?

Thinking about going sorceror, priest or berserker any of you's playing one have any advice on how well they play?

Cina

Ah well, I won't be buying. Call me cynical but I just find the leveling and grinding too tedious after the storylines, Flashpoints and dialogue The Old Republic had.

Grinding?
What you got to max lvl 15 ie max level with buddy pass and think that was a grind?
If you think thats grinding then mmos are not for you.
Im lvl 28 and its nowhere near a grind so far, furthermore if i want a story driven game i wouldnt be paying a sub for it.
swtor is the worst mmo ive played, thats just my opinion btw

@ IgsTer im playing a priest atm,its surprising good for leveling and a great class to play if you like healing plus its much sought after for dungeons.
I havent played either of the sorc or berzerker.
I also have a lvl 16 Lancer but its very slow to level compared to even the priest.
Id imagine the sorc or zerker would be fast to level, i had a lvl 10 slayer and it was very fast to level.
Im on Velik pve server, one or two others from here there too.

Cina

Well I like TOR (I can see why people wouldn't), I've gotten 2 characters to 50 now and because of the stories throughout it never felt like a grind, not like other MMO's, Tera definitely feels like a grind for me. Yeah I only got to 14, but I didn't particularly like it I guess so I don't really want to spend 50 quid on it on the off chance that I do end up enjoying it.

IgsTer

Yeah ive of narrowed it down to a sorc or a priest now. I do like healing and added bonus of being sought after is nice too. Was worried about being too slow at leveling and not doing enough damage but it seems that isnt a problem then.

I might just create two chars and play through a couple of levels to see what i want as my main. May as well roll on velik as well so.

Give mystic a go aswell if you aint already, its a main healer aswell just a little trickier sometimes due to its big heals being all targeted no aoe spells and such, but its really fun to play. Also if u ever play lotro its alot like loremaster, has pets and gives alot of mana in various ways to the group.

When you do pick what your gona lvl, wack ur char names here, theres a few of us on velik now. I think overall we all over the gaff, theres like 2 on essenia 4 on velik 1 on samuel I think, due to everyone getting game rolling toons then realising its a damn good game and time to post on boards about it :P

gobSIDES

I played the BETA raelly really enjoyed the new action elements they added to the combat system. A lot of MMO games are resting exclusively on the power bar systems and lack any good PVP options like TOR. But Tera was a good step forward.

Dcully

Having played Tera i seriously doubt ill ever go back to something like wow,rift,aoc,lotro,war,swtor.
Guild Wars 2 should be exception purely based on dynamic events and WvWvW , i doubt i could play your generic questing based mmo with traditional action bar combat again after experiencing Teras combat.
Granted the questing in tera is your typical go ill X this and Y but the comabt is the crucual factor imo.

Yeah was looking into choosing a mystic too but after reading up on the two healing classes decided id like the preists playstyle more if I were to roll a healer.

Have made two characters now on velik.

"Igs" - Priest
"Igsion" - Sorceror

Not sure which one im going to roll with as my main yet going to get a few more levels on each of them before i decide but so far really enjoying the game.

Id suggest lvl 20 on each before you choose.

Too busy at work and the like to play this for the last week, still level 11

Sephiroth_dude

still level,the side quests are so boring

ShaneScouse

ye you really need to get to about 24ish to know what the class will be like till 60. The grp instances and BAMs are 20ish and you will play alot diff in them.

IgsTer

Yeah I think my sorc is lvl 15 or so now and really enjoying it only got my priest to lvl 7 or so and didnt find it as fun to play but think that was mainly due to not really being able to heal anyone playing solo at this low level. Might try get them both to lvl 20ish and do the first real instance and decide then

Ive learned over the years, if there is a game i want to play on release i either but it digitally or bricks and mortar, i find online stores be fine at time others dodgy, i just dont trust them 100% to have my game on time.

Starting to encounter some grief players now on a PvP server. Stupidly forgot that I could switch channels to get away from them so wasted about an hour getting chased around by chars 5 lvls higher than me!
