TERA release date announced.

I played in the beta and found it to be very good, though i have heard the pvp is not so good?

PvP is fantastic, depends what you mean by good though.

If you role on a PvP server expect to be ganked 24/7, expect it to be hard to level this is something people refer to as not so good.

I think the PvP is fantastic, if you can withstand the initial burst of some classes you can get in to some really good fights, if you're good enough you can 1v2 people.

Great game and while gear does make a huge difference as does level if you're equal with someone else it really does come down to skill.

In terms of actual reward for world PvP there is non but there are BG at end game and you can get good gear from them.
 
Do we need a new beta key for this weekend? I was in the last one but someone said something about the non-paid access only lasting one session or character wipe or something...
 
If the pvp is good then i'm realy looking forward to this, i did enjoy the beta.

This is low level PvP have a look

There are better videos out.

I could be wrong but the paid one gets you access to all the betas however the ones they send you get you in for one weekend normally. Again I could be wrong but that is how the EU one is working.
 
Played a Slayer this time round, still undecided.
Gonna try zerker and maybe lancer again come next beta.

Got to the first town outside the first city, gankfest, was so much fun.
What was I expecting so close to server shutdown tho lol.

Some Ranger and a slayer both mide 20's were hanging around decimating all us low levels, enjoyed it like, trying to evade/dodge them and trying to get one over on them when everyone tried to attack them, managed to get the ranger down but the slayer was a lot tougher.

what a pain trying to escort pigs with high levels killing everything.
So 2nd day of Weekend Beta and I have maybe 2-3 hours of open PvP.
Thats more than I saw in SWTOR from lvl 1-45 lol and I had even went looking for PvP there.

Looking very promising just need to decide on a class now and see what kind of path were gonna be taking as a guild.

Did notice it appears that you can heal from safezones tho without being PvP tagged which seems a bit odd for a MMO thats been out for so long.

As long as you have an EU and a US preorder key you should get into all Beta events AFAIK dude
 
Yes it is a europe beta according to the alienware site, keys going fast act fast about 1900 left!

http://alienwarearena.com/giveaway/tera-beta-giveaway/

Mmm the European beta dates on the EU Tera site say
CBT 1 17.02.2012 19.02.2012
CBT 2 02.03.2012 04.03.2012
CBT 3 16.03.2012 18.03.2012
CBT 4 30.03.2012 01.04.2012
CBT 5 13.04.2012 15.04.2012

Yea I'm undecided between
Warrior, Archer, Zerker and Slayer
Slayer seems like an easy class and very good PK class which I like
Zerker seems amazing but pretty much the gameplay doesn't change too much for them from level 12 to level 58 you still just use the same 2 moves, while not a bad thing I'm not sure I could handle that, in group PvP they are a must though.
Warrior - high attack speed, interrupts spells, 5 stuns... Very hard to play but they top the Korean PvP charts afaik.
Archer - seems a little bit meh and if I go slayer they will be no problem.

Keys all gone now, I think its the us beta but it does say EU there. Probably means can play the us beta from the EU.

Says 1840 keys left when I go on the site.


I've rehosted the client patch file.

http://www.divinewind.org/tera/Tera.zip

As previously mentioedn easiest way is to just copy the client folder then copy in contents of the zip telling it to overwrite everything :)

Shoudl be decent speed on the server too ;)

Does that still work mate, at work so can't test.
 
Warrior is my choice. Takes a while to get some nice skillls (don't get most of the stuns until much higher level) but once you have Blade Cut and Traverse things start getting really fun!

Looking forward to playing my Raccoon, with 3000 infamy, this weekend. Going to get ganked left, right and centre.

Bring it on!!!
 
Just got my beta key, so what day is the next test?

EDIT: Never mind I learned to use their website. Friday XD
 
TERA's fourth closed beta test starts this Friday! Before we tell you what's new, we want to let you know that we'll begin deploying a new patch for TERA on March 21 at 3:00 PM PDT for about two hours. During this time you won't be able to patch. This isn't a long-term solution, and we're working on a more seamless experience for future patches. Once we verify the patch was successful, we'll open it back up so you can download the 9 MB update.

Here are some at-a-glance facts about this weekend's event:
Duration: Friday, March 23 at 12:00 PM PDT to Sunday, March 25 at 11:59 PM PDT
Servers: Arachnaea (PvE), Serpentis Isle (PvE), Valley of Titans (PvP), and Jagged Coast (PvP)
Maximum Level: 38
Character Slots per Server: 3

As a result of the feedback we've received during previous tests, we've made significant changes for Closed Beta Test 4. Most importantly, we have increased the difficulty between levels 1 and 15 by decreasing the player's hit points. We hope this will create more challenging and interesting gameplay. Those hit points will gradually be added back in as the player levels from 16 to 20. Also, in the heat of PvP, it can be difficult to see your opponent's level. To simplify this, we've made it possible to see the level of another player by aiming your crosshair at them. We've also doubled the character limit for all chat channels, making it easier to communicate with other players. For complete details, please see our patch notes.

With the increased level cap of 38, you can explore the ancestral home of the elins and poporis—the tree city of Pora Elinu and the stunningly beautiful Lake of Tears. Nearby you'll find the Eldritch Academy, a university of magic currently experiencing…what you might call a high rate of faculty turnover. Then you'll return to Val Aureum and the desert town of Tulufan to explore the ruins of the giants' lost empire, chase down the nefarious plots of the Scions of Lok, and prepare yourself for a trip into the instanced dungeon of the Cultist's Refuge.

We'll also be hosting an in-game event called Terron Treasure Trove, where players can receive helpful and rare consumable items created by the two elin princesses of Pora Elinu! But first, you'll need to find the blue treasure chest in TERA and give the terron sitting on top a good smack on the head before he surrenders what's inside!

Other than the in-game treasure finds, be sure to participate in our Be Creative, Be Smart, Be Lucky! contest for a chance to win awesome prizes from Logitech prizes and En Masse Entertainment. There is no nondisclosure agreement (NDA) during the beta tests, so feel free to screenshot, film, or write about your experiences, and share them with your friends and guild mates!

Want to join us for this weekend's closed beta test? How about every closed beta test? Pre-order TERA from the En Masse store for immediate access to all five closed beta tests and the opportunity to retain your characters and their progress for the duration of the closed beta period.

AFAIK aye

We've all patched up the EU client for the last weekend and then repatched using the linked RAR file. Only takes a few mins to get the Tera EU folder copied and then just extract Rar and copy all to your New Tera US folder overwriting whenever it prompts.

Suppose we will only find out come the next US test tho lol
Launcher loads fine and says upto date last time I tried it
