Lol the posts where people say "this isn't a job or esports, let people have fun". That's like me playing soccer with some people and 1 guy decided to just lay on the floor or the goalie decides to try and score goals. In a situation like that, would the rest of the team actually have "fun"? Is it not expected that they at least stand up, near where their position is and act like they're doing something? Why is it any different in a game that involves playing with groups of players. If you're solo, do whatever you want but in a party it's different.

because you have professional soccer or tournament soccer

and you have friendly soccer

in the first case yes you should play it seriously

in second case you only play it for fun and you dont care about win or lose

Ok, but then in the second case, when it comes to TERA, the others wouldn't care how anyone plays and there would be no arguing. The topic is about the first case, though.

i just see a dude complaint than someone advice him

in case of tera it is fast run vs you kill final boss at the end and we dont care how your team kill him

if it is fast run i understand people go mad if the dude doesnt follow the advices, but in IMS we dont care how you kill the final boss, just kill him

This.
There's a huge difference between entering HM speed runs and auto-attacking (I'm exaggerating but you get it), and complaining about slow run in RG through IMS while it's still taking ~10 min full dungeon.
Advice is always welcome, cussing is not, some people DO deserve if they're being deliberately trolls, the majority doesn't until they attack you back because of an advice. Yes, been through this many times, and once as a healer I got that cuss fest back because of an obvious advice (literally, wearing NO crystals and attacking front and sides), but still did my job with impartiality an professionalism, by leaving the rude trap dead on the floor the entire last boss. Gladly the majority is not like that too.

People should always look to improve and help others do so, but it's... really dumb and exaggerated to complain about people not min-maxing in low tier gearing dungeons. Balance it out. I know the majority here DOESN'T talk about the leveling stuff, it's all end-game and such, but I always see it from this side of things since I don't care about higher end stuff. Give them advice, teach them new things, teach them about min-maxing, but don't b!tch about it on low tier. It's quite pitiful to see.

hehe so you're my kind, that queues explicitly to get random traps and make Lilith's A$$ Sexy Mode more interesting...

I actually do exactly this. I Specially ever since they managed to get rid of the character direction controls for melee classes (Nice fckn' job Bluesphincter), I've only played Priest and some ranged DPS. I don't have much patience to gear up and learn the mechanics of harder dungeons so that's an easy way to get into the crazy runs on the cheap

You're half right, we agree on it making the runs more interesting, buuuuuut, I only bother with IM every day because I'm not part of a large guild nor do I have a static group to run dungeons efficiently with, so I basically have to do IM or LFG. I'll eventually get out of the IM madness but right now I'm content with doing things this way.

I've not gotten to play a melee class in the past, so I'm not really sure what change you're referring to. Are you saying that Bluehole changed it so when you cast abilities now, you go in one specific direction all the time?

Yes, exactly this. Skills don't cast the way you configure it anymore to melee (and a handful of non-target ranged ones, the type you turn where you cast and it goes straight that way no height variation, like Thunderbolt), they just ALWAYS go the way your character is facing. Before you used to be able to cast stuff in the direction the camera is facing always, and this is how I played ever since start. After all, I'm always looking at what I want to hit, and I may run around and such, then cast a skill. Now I need to 1st make my character face the target to cast it.

Sounds small but it breaks the combat flow for anyone used to the camera direction system. The way you move during combat has to change or you waste a heck lot of the casts.

Granted, I could learn to get used to it. BUT I'm nowhere near as much of a TERA fanboy now as I was before. So no thanks BHS, I ain't re-learning anything.
