Correct or not.
Q. What are you doing to do with the answers? (Is it just for your personal edification, or...?)
Q. Did you search on Google, the Forums, and/or the TERA sub-Reddit before asking?
I mean, yes, the questions all have answers (or at least opinions) but many of them have entire threads and in some cases entire forum sections dedicated to just that. It would take a really long time to answer all of them in any sort of comprehensive way. It may better to start with a much smaller number of really pressing questions...
A. If you are good in the game, PVP gets you lots on external income from selling nodes.
Q. What are the annual Tera events and the usual dates they start and end on?
They change once in a while, but most of the time Christmas there will be snowball fights, Autumn there will be food crafting, Summer there is this event, as well as swimsuit stuffs. And I forgot what spring gives.
Q. Are there any class builds that works well in Tera besides the main stream/meta ones?
They simplified the game too much, so unfortunately no. PvE will use enraged build and PvP will usually use CDR build.
Q. Will all the recent nerfs and the upcoming nerfs to crafting and gathering how can one still have fun and earn gold? (Ex. Most consumables are being removed from game)
A. Find other ways to earn gold. Pretty sure some mats will be tradable and you can earn from there. Gold is honestly secondary in this game if you know what you are doing.
Q. How do I prepare to enjoy mass GVG PVP and 30 person 30 BAM raids without my frame rate or graphics dropping?
A. 1) Get a better computer, 2) Optimise your Tera files. Search Google for it yourself.
Q. If you are on a lower population server what are the best ways to enjoy the game without resorting to a server transfer?
A. Find people to talk to. An advantage of having lesser people is that you know more of them and people will be closer to each other.
Q. Any tips on how to enjoy PVP and endgame content Tera for casual free to play members of the game?
A. Join a casual guild, and learn harder dungeons. Tera is honestly boring to be 100% casual,
Q. If you are not a casual Tera player, how do you keep the game fresh when the only useful things left to do are Broker, PVP spam, and the 5 Star hardmode dungeon hundreds of times?
A. Make trap dungeons. Roleplay if you are that bored. Even the higher ups can do low level dungeons for the lolz too.
Q. How do you deal with PVP battles grounds and the tendency for the losing side to either AFK or "troll" as soon as a win is somewhat unlikely?\
A. If you are good you will only lose to close matchups to those who are also skilled in the game. If you are on the losing side even if the team gives up, you don't. Up your game and practice your solo mechs. Don't ever let toxic behaviour deter you. That is the first rule to learning anything in this game.
Q. Do you continually keep yourself informed on upcoming changes to Tera by reading Ktera translations and if you do, how do you the the information to best use?
A. If you are a real tryhard, you would go two ways. One to earn the most possible gold when the new patch hits, or Two get the gear the fastest. Both ways, you start to stock up on Sea Chests and other Battleground chests. If you are going for the previous VM gear in the next patch (for this case Imperator will be the 2nd rate VM), sell out ores while they are getting expensive and buy back when they are cheaper.
Q. What are the best Tera websites for players interested in the mechanics and their exceptions in the game?
A. Essential Mana gives a whole lot of info. Yosha's website does have more detailed mechs on dungeons on top of that.
Q. We can hotkey equipment sets, can Glyph sets be hotkeyed?
A. Glyph sets are easy to click, I don't see the reason why they need to be hotkeyed. And no.
Q. If I have 100s of items in my mail box is there a fast or easy way to open all of them with out having to click piece of mail individually?
A. No. This is why you clear them every once in a while.
Q. Is there a website that lists all the achievements with rewards that make your character more powerful?
A. It is not updated so you probs want to search individual achievs from your achiev bar yourself.
Q. Why can't we queue for multiple battle grounds at the same time?
A. I don't know BHS's answer to this, but to me the most obvious reason is different rating systems for all blocks making it difficult for them to implement. People should realise that even though it looks like ratings aren't considered in matchmaking, it does.
Q. Why are there cool skills in the game that are completely unusable because of needless animation locks?
A. Every skill is usable.
Q. Can you list the skills you never want to see a PVE player use?
A. Don't be an AA hero. For some elitists, they want you to use a good skill rotation. Some skills aren't that useful in PvE (But are useful in PvP).
Q. Can you list the skills you never want to see a PVP player use?
A. Again don't be an AA hero. Also, don't KD skill a Lancer's Giga Leash.
Q. Can you list the class or classes you always want in your PVE party and explain why?
A. I don't agree with having a must have class in a PvE party, and feel that while not having the best DPS is not optimal, as long as everyone does their job, a standard party of 1 tank 1 heal and 3 dps will be able to clear all content.
Q. Can you list the class or classes you always want on your team in PVP and why?
A. I will admit I always want a Priest and a Mystic in my team/raid because of double buff. Brawlers are godtier engages but it is really up to the mechanical skill and gear of the player.
Q. If you have the mats to build Imperator weapon/armor, but not the recipe or gold to both buy the recipe and +15 what should do you?
A. You can choose two things: One save the mats for the time you farm your recipe yourself. (Because if you can't find it then farm it instead.)
Q. Can you share little known trick in Tera? (Example: You can just wait for the timer to run out in Celestial Area and the daily completes even if you kill 0 monsters. (Recently Patched in Ktera)
A. A very obvious one most people don't know would be, to prevent yourself from abusing the Spacebar, which is a bad habit, put it at a key that forces you to ignore it. I place mine at Left Shift. Only use your combo key if you really need to, it is faster if you memorise the k;
Q. Is there ever a reason not to run a 5 person or more dungeon with both a Mystic and Priest in the party?
A. There will be a patch in the future that prevents the two endurance debuffs from stacking, that is a huge dps loss.
Q. What is the #1 thing you want to see fixed in Tera?
A. Graphical lags even in simple dungeons.
Q. What is the #1 thing you like about Tera and never want to see changed?
A. It is changed already, but the one thing I liked was that dungeons take time to learn. While it is frustrating at first it feels like you accomplished something after clearing it. Right now most of the dungeons are becoming easier to learn, and sadly is turning into ping checks (ie if you do not lag you most likely will be able to dodge it; if you lag just say RIP.)
Q. What gets you to refer friends to Tera?
A. It was fun, and was a unique experience. Sadly that is gone with the newer patches.
Q. What gets you to spend real money on Tera?
A. If it remains a unique experience I would spend real money but now no.
Q. Is general discussion a good place for this post? This is my firs time ever using the forums!
I think General Discussion is okayish. But limit your questions pls
2. Kyras Potion shack comes and goes with stuff like Valentines day, Summer festivities, Halloween. Festival of the Sun and Summer Beach party come in Summer ofc. Rootstock is the Fall festival. For Christmas we have the Wintera Gifting Center.
3. Do what you like the most, doesn't have to be meta to enjoy the game.
4. We wont know until we get the patch in our hands and see how it goes.
5. Get a better computer, or lower all of your settings to 0 or 1. Also do some .INI tweaks.
6. Get close with a bunch of people till you can call them friends. That is how the game is more enjoyable, playing with friends.
7. Avoid Lumbertown if you go to a PvP server, only dicks around there that kill lowbies like it is some sort of sport.
8. Exploration, having fun with friends and guildmates, never rush content.
9. Deal with it. Free points anyways.
10. Yes I stay informed.
11. Essential Mana
12. No, but you can save em to a preset.
13. No
14. Not that i remember
15. Don't know
16. Because BHS doesn't know what they are doing.
17. List too big to fit in here
18. Same as above. And i hardly pvp.
19. I don't have preferences. When it comes to the class, it matters the player behind the class to make it good, not the class. Except brawler of course. You can roll your face against the keyboard, and still be a good brawler.
20. Same as above.
21. Farm. Or swipe if you are one of those.
22. I do not support the use of exploits, glitches or bug abuses.
23. Because, with both healers survival chances increase, and you get godly buffs. It is currently the meta for PvE to have double healer, unless your healer is so good that can solo heal. Is getting patched unfortunately in the future.
24. Optimization.
25. Action Combat.
26. "Hey guys, come play this game where you can see lots of dangerously cute panty bearing animal girls." Honestly, i just tell them to try it for the combat and the landscape.
27. Elin costumes
28. Why do you ask so many questions?
29. Yes.
