[Megathread] Tera Online - Now Free-to-Play

[Kittyvicious]

gw2 = 5 chars before buying more

swtor/tera/others 2 chars before buying more

and theres no be a sub and levle up faster crap like in swtor and i think tera
gw2 is just a much better model sure its expensive and theres fuck all to do for endgame but swtor f2p doesnt let you raid and has alot of limits like 3 weekly loot rolls on last boss and etc
tera i donno as i havnt gotten to 20 yet as i have yet to find a class i like enough to play past 15

I'm completely confused as to what you're saying. What you quoted of me has no relevance to what you posted.

You really cannot judge a class on this game until at least level 30. Slayer is the second fastest class compared to Warrior. Berserker (Yes its Berserker, not Berzerker, pls stop adding z's) Is very slow all game, but as of right now is the top PvE dps. Until we get K-teras anti-stagger patch Berserker will be gimped in PvP (mind you, we should of had by now) we'll be fixed in pvp again.

Also concerning Warriors, they are pretty useful. They bring a debuff to your party that makes the group deal more damage to the boss. They are mediocre dps, and they are ok tanks. A warrior can clear all content as of right now. A warrior tank also got the first MCHM kill on K-tera.

i have never tried tera out. what is it like? does it have any endgame content?

Endgame consists of a few 5 man dungeons with hardmodes, a nexus raid (which it's called a raid, but its hardly raid worthy... one boss, could be duoed before patch).
Other then that there is 1 pvp 15v15 battleground, and 3v3 arenas.
I simply keep playing it because I love the combat, and the pvp is fun. (Well it isn't now for Berserker until anti-stagger patch) To keep it in perspective, I still raid on WoW due to lack of pve content, otherwise I play Tera.


~Honestly though, I've been around since Closed Beta 1, I've never let my sub run out and I play all aspects of the game. If anyone wants to shoot me any messages with questions or anything go for it. I can probably answer almost anything.

K-Tera currently has a 10 and 20 man raid. I dont know how many and if the 10 and 20 mans are just the same raid but our version has been catching up to theirs pretty fast. I would expect to see them by summer.

I dont see how useful a Warrior is when I have watched the raid videos from K-Tera and even out of 20 players there isnt a single Warrior.

with only 2 character slots its not easy trying out each class especially to 30

Pretty easy to narrow it down though. If you dont like tanking there goes Lancer. If you dont like Healing there goes Priests and Mystics. If you hate ranged classes bye bye Sorcerer (not counting Rangers as a DPS class). You can narrow it down pretty easily. Id say if you want a good feel of the game use your 2 slots on a Sorcerer and then either a Slayer or Zerker. Also id say just get to 20 for your first instance which can be done in a day. Run it a few times to get a feel for group play and how you have to react to bosses.

It's not too difficult if you have multiple email addresses. I made three more just to max each class since I can't pay for more character slots right now.

Is anyone else having FPS issues with this game as of late?

Could just be the areas in in at the moment but... when I played this a bit over 6 months ago I used to have 30-50 FPS pretty much everywhere.
Now I'm having around 10-35 FPS pretty much everywhere unless I'm staring at a wall. It gets really annoying especially in instances during bosses where I usually have 5-15 FPS which makes healing a bit harder than it has to be unless the groups is really good and actually dodges shit so they dont get almost insta-gibbed every 5 seconds or so.

I did an FPS-fix I found on the Tera-forums which included a modified S1Engine.ini and some new "older" drivers for my nVIDIA gfx-card. It worked wonders for 1 day when I had 40-60 FPS all around and around 25-35'ish in instances even during bosses. And this was with medium'ish settings.

But now it seems the fix "stopped working" or something and I'm back to shit FPS even with the lowest settings

It just seems like the game-engine is really buggy and badly optimized. The FPS just goes up and down like crazy which is really going to suck when I hit lvl60 (59 now) and go into some BGs and such.

I was subbed to tera for 6 month.Do you get something special now that the game is f2p?

[UnCorpse]

2 per server too. Also the prologue helps a lot, lets you try a lvl 20 character on the go.

I saw a berserker with aggro crystals, can they tank?

Classified as a "veteran" account - comes with a full 8 character slots open, an exclusive mount, a Founder title, and a couple other things.

Did you set the S1Engine.ini to read only? If you don't, tera will undo your changes. But yes, tera is very badly optimized. Well its really the UI that's the main issue with the game. I know for me, I get 5-6 times the FPS if I turn off the UI. Really wish they would fix the UI issue for AMD users. (Most the people with the UI bug are AMD users sadly).

[Kittyvicious]

But yes, tera is very badly optimized.

False. Tera is one of the best optimized MMOs out there.

EU side, how do I cancel my subcription? I wanna still play F2P, but I had started a subscription a couple of weeks ago. I've gone into the account link from the initial loader window when you first start up the game, but that link doesn't let you change subscription. I've also tried the enmasse account link (which is a US link?) but my email and password do not work on that link.

Am I missing something here? Or they made it so you can only cancel sub by talking to their support direct?

[Toffie]

Anyone with a NVIDIA card that can run the game well? I have problems with my 680 running the game - every few minutes the game stutters and I see my FPS go to 0 .

Go into the Tera Shop Ingame and click on the tera club, then "join the tera club" and you will be able to unsubscribe on the page you will be forwarded to. :3

[Drunkenfinn]

False. Tera is one of the best optimized MMOs out there.

Well as Lagmonster said, the main-issue seems to tbe the UI and not the actual game-engine.

Do you have the newest drivers for nvidia cards? Cause those drivers dont go too well with Tera.

Get the 296.16 driver for nvidia cards and it should fix some of the issues.

That is a tedious way long winded but I guess business smart way of doing that :S Thanks!

[Toffie]

Yes I do, i'll try and see if it works :/
