Tera

Most of us are trying to stay around the same level so we can run instances together. No one is 60 yet. I am in no rush to hit 60 as im enjoying the game just fine and don't want to burn myself out.

It escapes me right now why anybody would not play this game...is it the character models? Is it that much of a turnoff to people? Folks, try this game. You will not regret it.

What is the decided Server Name and Guild Name?

Dragonfall / Phank

Thinking about giving this game a shot, you guys still playing on Dragonfall? I'd probably be interested in leveling up a healer. I usually play a tank class but I'd like to play something different.

I've heard it is a little grindy, which I don't mind too much. The combat seems pretty engaging. The Diablo 3 Inferno kite-o-rama is getting a little boring, and I don't know if I could go back to WoW/Rift/SWTOR.

We are. I'm currently not in Phank as I decided to join a guild with some people I leveled up with, but I'm always open to running with Hosslings or helping out. Just let me know. My characters are Marlon (60 Slayer) and Clive (29 Warrior). Feel free to friendlist me in game and I can hook you up with some gold and whatnot.

For healers, Priests easily have the better time leveling up. They're actually questing machines with very good short range/AOE DPS. They're also good healers in the end game. Mystics are very very good in the end game but suck to level up and not everybody trusts them in the end game either because they require more skill from the player. That said, DPS generally prefers to have a Mystic over a Priest because the damage output of the whole group at 60 is far better with the Mystic's crit rate buff. If you're going to solo and don't have infinite amounts of patience, though, go with a Priest. If you have a leveling partner, then either class is fine to level up.

As for it being grindy, I really don't get why people get that impression. I think they see 'korean' and make assumptions. It's NOT grindy except perhaps at the very end of the game when you're farming materials for T13 masterwork crafted items, but there's *no* content ATM that actually requires that gear, and you can easily opt out of it. Leveling is quick and easy, and gearing up at 60 is relatively quick and is completely feasible to do either by farming instances *or* saving gold and buying the gear off the market.

The only weak spot is something that I think is common in young MMOs: not a whole lot of 'content' ready for you at 60. There are three good instances, the Nexus, and you can always do dailies or go solo BAMs for extra excitement. Battlegrounds and more instances are coming soonish (TM). For me, personally, that's enough--I play for the social aspect and for the combat system.

I picked this up a couple days ago and am enjoying it so far. I really like the combat mechanics, like someone mentioned earlier it would be hard to go back to the old-style of MMO's. After the story and voiced quests of SWToR the wall of text and kill xx of this mob style quests seem a little old school, but it is still fun. This should keep me plenty busy until Guild Wars 2 comes out in a few months.

Best Buy is having a one-day sale on Tera. Pick it up for $8! I wish I would have waited a couple days, heh heh!

There are also a bunch of different places you can get coupons for half off, including the collectors edition.

Hey Valthonis or Amadis, I need the name of the GM for Vae Victis on Dragonfall, I saw that everyone from Phank moved over, but I need the GM info to do the /gapply thing.

Edit: NM, I found it through a little creative searching, GM of VV is Sarina

so the guild has moved?

why not just create a Hoss?

Because it isn't Hoss in that game/server. There are 2 or 3 people actively playing - they are playing with another group of people.

We only had like 6 people log on lately, so a decision was made to move to VV so more people around to group with. After 2 days in the guild I left, they were a real bunch of self centered people. Lotta drama and stuff. I think some other people left as well, you will prolly have a cooldown to rejoin a guild but at the rate things are going (see: nothing at all) it gets kinda boring running the same two dungeons every 6 hours with an hour or 2 queue time (as dps, I think its near instant for heals and is instant for tanks). So I think I might be done... had a lot of fun but its an mmo so with no one around to play with it kinda gets boring.

Yeah, I kind of felt the same way Valth. They seemed like nice enough folks in VV, but my 30-days of game play was up and I decided not to renew for now. I'm more looking forward to GW2 anyway, which is coming out very soon.
