  • Facetanking everywhere

    The only thing I see here, is people complaining about the game suddenly requiring you to think ahead. You won't have problems with cooldowns, if you don't overheal and if you simply just plan ahead and learn the mechanics.


    Personally I have no issues with people facetanking everything in any dungeon, that I run on my healers. If I don't use any CD's of my heals before bosses do mechanics, and simply just insta heal as soon as the mechanic has taken their hp, then it's no issue at all. A great example would be RKE where you can easily predict whenever he's doing to do back stun, pizza mechanics or S-bomb. If you just save your heals for those, you have no issues healing up. Another example is RMH last boss, just know that people are facetanking in-out, back tail hit, the swipe after her scythe is in the air and so on, everything is good.


    It really isn't rocket science, people facetanking mechanics that don't one-shot, is simply just you who has to step up and learn the mechanics ahead of time and healing accordingly.

    Personally I run with Missy all the time, and I don't see her having any issues at all outhealing mechanics, even though I facetank like a maniac. This is all the while, while having top tier uptimes on her buffs, so don't complain. It's easily possible to do your job, even though people are facetanking all the mechanics that don't one-shot. It's only a question of knowing the fight and knowing the mechanics. You simply just need to put a little effort into the game, that's all.

    Stop complaining and improve yourself, before blaming the game for being the issue.


    Also before I get bantered for "But I don't have gear to facetank meteors bla bla bla", then just tell that to people before starting the run. No one will blame you for that. But don't complain that you can't outheal smth that's not a one-shot 'cause you can.

  • Ace Dungeon Lilith's Keep how??

    Here's how to:


    You basically just dodge it like.. I don't know. I dodge it mostly on intuition, but in my experience you simply just dodge when the wave is almost hitting you, you have to dodge a little earlier than you think. It's much like the donuts in AAH, you don't dodge at the exact moment the waves are on you, you dodge a little earlier than that.

    First and foremost:


    Cienne, thank you very much, it's great to hear your work is appreciated! Also EP = Talents, they're just called otherwise in my guide!


    Secondly:

    I am working on reworking some parts of this guide, since with the new patch, (which is utterly retarded), there are a few things to be changed and added, like infusion, the dungeon entries and vg's etc.


    Sorry for so long silence, but I got a real life that took a lot of my time, will be back into it soon! Stay tuned~~

    Hi there Acc!


    First off, thanks for your feedback.


    Regarding the strong/weak class, I added it, 'cause I personally prefer a strong/weak overview over what classes are strong at the moment in a new MMO. For example, when I started WoW, I didn't pick Aff Lock solely due to how cool they looked, but also due to their huge strength in PvE. I realize, that this requires me to update the class tier list so to speak over time, and I might change it to just general descriptions, when I update this guide less and less. I see your point, but personally I'd prefer a up-2-date strong point.

    I see your point with the it's mostly just "overall", and you're right. Most of the stuff might just seem like basic stuff. My general thoughts, when writing this guide would be what I would think is confusing, and what I thought was confusing when I started this game. Maybe some of it, might seem much too basic, but yeah, it's just what I personally thought was very confusing to find my way in, when I started this game. For example Glyphs, yes, this might seem very very basic, and like smth everyone should know about, but personally I didn't even know glyphs existed before I got to 65, much less how to farm them. The same thing goes for weapon rolls and so on. Some of it might be irrelevant, and if I find more opinions like yours, I'll definitely consider cutting down on it. (Maybe even change the title, as you suggest!)


    Last, but not least, you're right, you could pick a server with your language, but let's face it: Mystel is much more international now, than ever since the player base is so huge, and the others servers are defined as "dead". It might not be that way, for already integrated players, but let's put ourselves in their place: If you're a total new player with no one to play with and haven't tried the game before, people are much more reluctant to take you in parties, especially on less populated servers, which is why I recommend Mystel, since the server is more and more populated, and by extension also much more internationl. Point in case: If I were a new player, I'd rather be on a populated server, rather than a language specific one. You're right, I should probably add an explanation, but I thought it'd be overwhelming. I'll prolly update it though, since you're pointing it out!


    Thanks again for your feedback, if you still feel like what I'm saying is not totally accurate, I'd love to hear your points! It's always nice with constructive criticism c:

    Great inputs. I added an explanation of etchings and crystals so far, I will have to think over, if I should go into specific rolls for weapons, since they are, definitely, rather important to have an overview over. I will think over how to implement it. Thanks for your feedback again!

  • Beginner's guide

    I have now updated the guide, and has a whole new chapter concerning Tera's general game mechanics. I would be really happy if someone would give me feedback on what I have so far! Thank you very much on beforehand! I will give a Diamond to anyone, who comes with worthwhile constructive critisism, that makes sense for me to work with!

  • Beginner's guide

    Great points xLightz. I'll be sure to add a time stamp for the different statements of class diversity.

    Also concerning the Lancer, I can see what you mean, it'd make sense to rewrite that section as well.

    About the discord links, I guess I just tried to find guides for every class, and just linked the discords for the ones that I could not find guides for, but yes. You're right, it'd make sense to include all discords, so people have a place to ask questions.


    Thank you very much for your feedback, it's appreciated! c:

  • Beginner's guide

    Heya.


    I made a Beginner's Guide, mainly focused around what you should do when you hit level 65, meant for players who never tried Tera before. If you wanna pitch your friends, maybe this would be interesting for them. Note: This is a PvE oriented guide! I do not talk about PvP at all!

    I made it, since several friends of mine are currently trying out Tera, and hope this can be of help to other players as well, or friends of yours who might want to try the game.

    This is a work in progress!


    Feel free to give me suggestions for topics I should take up or constructive critiscism on already written sections.

    Guide here

  • Recent maintenance causing higher than normal ping

    Moved the thread into a more appropriate section, more specifically into the questios and answers section, someone might be able to help you there! On my own part, I can't contribute with too much, other than I myself haven't experienced any particular issues, as you there describe. Hopefully someone will be able to contribute a bit more than me!

  • how to make some gold - Twistshard enchant

    Oh, another way to make gold, that I personally like, is of course the new cooking. For a minimal amount of gold you can make quite some money on selling Root Beers and Fish Fritters, maybe even p2w food that includes several types of other food. It takes a lot of time to gather mats, but in the end it's basically 90% profit, so that's really worth it, if you wanna put some time into this game.

  • Gathering Material Spots (not completed)

    These pictures are great, really nice job. I thought I'd add a bit more spice to it, tho I can't provide pictures, I have a list compiling, which I hope can help out as well:


    Ores:
    Cobala Ore -> Val Oryin, Arcadia, Ostgarath, Poporia
    Shadmetal Ore -> Westonia, Allemantheia, Val Elenium, Val Palrada
    Xermetal Ore -> Kaiator, Lorcada, Sylvanoth, Essenia
    Normetal Ore -> Veritas, IoD, Velika, Val Aureum
    Galborne Ore -> Val Tirkai, Helkan, Val Kaeli


    Plants:
    Cobseed -> Sylvanoth, Ostgarath, Poporia
    Veridia Root -> Sylcanoth, Essenia,
    ArcadiaMushroom Cap -> Veritas, Essenia, Poporia
    Moongourd Pulp -> Val Palrada, Ostgarath,
    VelikaApple -> Veritas, Val Palrada, Arcadia


    Essences:
    Crimson Essence -> Allemantheia, Val Elenium, Val Oryin, IoD
    Earth Essence -> Val Aureum, Val Oryin, IoD
    Azure Essence -> Westonia, Kaiator, Lorcada, Val Elenium
    Opal Essence -> Westonia, Allemantheia, Val Oriyn, Val Aureum
    Obsidian Essence -> Val Tirkai, Helkan, Val Kaeli


    Other materials (Plain Rock, Achromatic essence, etc.) spawn at random all over Arborea.

  • best way to get Gear EXP

    Well sure, if you have lower gear, it'll take longer time, but as soon as you get FM+0, (which isn't too hard), it shouldn't be too hard to go into 439's, which, (with carry people - maybe you have some friends who can help?), should only take about 10 min. each, and then xp will rack up quickly.
