I think all of the Named BAM's are significantly more dangerous than their non-named counterpart. Like that named Naga one, if you get stomped you die, because his stomp hits for like 3000+, then he debuffs you so you move like a snail, and he will follow up with a ranged wind cutter thing which hits for 4000+.

XP loss was done before when games required that you grouped in order to get any real semblance of experience points. In a game where you can solo grind XP it's not a real deterrent to dying. You get good gear in WoW or SWTOR, and you die a few times and your repair bill becomes outrageous. The possibility of losing a crystal in Tera is actually a pretty mild penalty for dying--especially since you can take out the crystals you use for endgame content if you're going to do something that gives you a high chance of getting killed (soloing bosses or what have you).

I don't usually stay up past a little over midnight, and so the back to back 3AM/5AM sessions were a bit much. Other than waking up to go to class, I've pretty much been asleep the whole day >_<; EDIT: 2 or so more hours and then a while week I don't know if anyone watches these, but I really liked the flying route scenery. This is my first subscription MMO so this kind of stuff is all new to me. EDIT: Kumas are BAMs. Last edited by Mow Yun; 2012-04-23 at 23:53. Reason: Resized image |

Darn, I wish I wasn't out of town when the Open Beta started. I was only able to play for five hours today, but I was completely hooked. I tried other MMORPG in the past, and not once did they manage to make an impression. Ah, I can't wait until the 28th. ;_;

I only died five times during the OBT, since I spent a majority of the time gathering materials for crafting. I managed to get Alchemy to 150 before I ran out of time and I didn't get to play Monday at all due to school.
Out of the five deaths I had, only two caused broken crystals. One death was on the golem boss in the Bastion of Lok instanced area and the other was while attempting to solo a fibralisk in the Cliffs of Insanity (it didn't end well). I need to do something about HP regeneration or my solo Cthulhu-punching career will be over before it began. Parked my ass in Poporia awaiting the headstart on Saturday. This game is seriously addictive in a good way, not the stressful way WoW and even SWTOR post-50 was. I'm super excited that my guild has a strong interest in the other endgame--controlling the server economy and the Vanarch political system. Makes me a happy potion-brewer.

Speaking of censorship, it seems like they removed blood in the Europe version of the game due to PEGI, rather amusing how the people who said "deal with it" over the Elin censorship are now buttmad over that.

Really, it's ridiculous. Strike Witches was more explicit than the uncensored elin. The camera in Tera doesn't go out of its way to provide gratuitous crotch-shots. Edit: Since I first played Mass Effect I stopped capitalizing the names of fictional non-human races... why should they be capitalized when "human" never is?

Well, didn't build any hype over TERA, so not really eager for it anyway. Will lurk around this thread from time to see people feedback and whether i should checked it out... maybe sometime in the future. Currently in getting a bit into jrpg, probably for the 1st time since Pokemon back in grade school. Didn't even played any of the whole FF franchise

Well, the only time I died and didn't lose crystal was to the Basilik. Died something like 4 times to the named Naga BAM and lost a crystal every single time. Died once to a torpid Kuma and lost a crystal, and once to that level 25 lizard BAM in Poporia and lost a crystal too.

I was thinking about trying a High Elf or something come live, but I might just stick with the Elin. (I'd love the grown up version of the Elin's though, that'd be awesome) Mm, we are labeled geographically as SEA, but for games and internet... we seem to get lumped in with the USA most of the time. I've never seen us blocked from an NA game.

Here's a page with some useful TERA tips on some stuff people may not know.
http://dulfy.net/2012/02/21/newbies-tips-tricks/ Just ignore the first tip since that has been changed. Heck I didn't know a lot of the stuff and the first time I knew about crystals breaking when dying was this thread.. I was wondering what the penalty was... Quote:

Btw don't forget to look @ the armor previews for all the races before designing. If you see a piece of armor you really like that can swing your decision. You can remodel any gear into that design too. Quote:
