  Yeah Tera is a good game but like why would you do that it's the 21st century

  Completely agree. Now I remember how irritating it was. Easily the worst part.

  You've experienced Elin hour. It happens every day.
  
  
  
  Uhh no? There are definitely a lot more fox elins, and there are definitely not a large amount of lancers, therefore it is far less generic than your "superior" fox elins.

  Most Lancer Elins are usually bunnies, is what I meant to imply. Well, PvP server at least.
  
  And there is no doubt a huge amount of lancers, they are extremely OP at endgame with the right gear.

  question for the people already playing, whats class is good for a beginner

  
  Well, it depends on what you're looking for. Lancers are the front-tank class of the game, good def/hp and can actually put out good DPS later on.
  
  Zerkers are the slowest class in TERA I believe, but they're a melee DPS with a massive amount of attack that will hurt if it catches you (they're also picked on a lot on PvP cause they're easy to kite). Slayers, in my opinion, are the easiest class to play in both PvE/PvP and the only way to be bad at one is if you actually try to suck at this class. You basically don't need to aim at all to hit your target, they have a huge range and is probably one of the best PvP classes cause they're hard to kite.
  
  Sorcerer is your typical glass-cannon, though their true potential really only shows at level 48 with the Burst of Celerity skill. They're the current highest DPS in TERA, and are awesome in large scale PvP/GvG due to their ability to hide within the crowd while nuking the enemies! Then there are Priests who are known for their "over-heal" and a good solo class, due to their endurance buffs and not-so-bad hitting skills. Mystics are another hybrid/heal class, which is said to be the hardest solo-class to level in the game, but groups usually rather have a mystic over a priest due to their buffs and ability to provide mana to the party (both can do this tbh, but Mystics have an easier time), and some crowd control.
  
  ... And I don't really know much about warriors and archers, but all I hear about archers is that their DPS sucks compared to the other classes, and that you need more experience to control/aim it. I know between a full scale and low scale PvP archers tend to shine better on the small one.
  
  [spoiler]
  Also do realize lots of these classes share loot together, sometimes while finding a group some people will kick/reject you just for the upper hand. Lancers and zerkers do this, since lancers are more welcome in parties they rather not having a zerker running with them in the off-chance to lose rolls.
  
  But really lancer/mystic are the easiest classes to find groups with.[/spoiler]

  I could really get in, but Zerkers are great PVP at end game, with Dash and several PvP skills, and moves that can 1 shot the strongest Lancer. But you do have to know how to use the class.
  
  I dont think that most of the people playing here care too much about pvp anyway, considering they're all on the PvE server.

  Yea, I think in comparing Slayer x Zerker:
  
  Slayer:
  Bad Player = Good Slayer
  Good Player = Awesome Slayer
  Awesome Player = godmode
  
  Zerker:
  Bad Player = Horrible Zerker
  Good Player = Medium Zerker
  Awesome Player = Good Zerker
  
  ... You just need a lot more of player skill, but pick whatever is more fun for you I guess.

  Oh yeah definitely, not everyone will want to attack once every 5 seconds. But so far zerker has been the easiest to level.

  Don't even have the client up to date.
  
  And I disagree with some of the things you're saying, Meiji, primarily because I don't play PvP anymore. For PvP, there's the constant threat of being attacked and you have to play differently. In PvE, you will obviously never have to fight anyone ever and the tough things are done in parties.

  I wanted to when I started the game, but it's kind of shitty. Basically a bunch of high level guilds camping out the lowest PvE zones they can and running if they even have somewhat of a chance of losing (because god forbid they look bad). As in, every even fight ever.
  
  Every single person I've spoken to on the PvP server global chat have had some of the most terrible knee-jerk, internet tough guy logic I've ever seen, as well as some of the worst inferiority complexes.
  
  It's a shithole. And it's littered with people who have a point to prove on an online game. Even if I wanted to be a hardcore PvP player, I'd play PvE and just organize high level PvP matches/tournaments.
  
  The PvE people are pretty alright for an MMO community. Annoying as hell at times and occasionally rage-worthy, but hey, it's not so bad. Some people are pretty cool.

  Global chat is a headache, but I didn't experience any lowbie stomping after beta ended. Also, it's rare to have people randomly kill you, as it makes them vulnerable to attack from everyone else in the area and it's generally not worth the trouble.

  PvP in this game is such a sad joke that I can't fathom having it on at all times.
  
  If I want to participate in that horrible system I'll do it on demand. Its not like you can't pvp in pve servers. Just right click and start deathmatch or duel.
  
  You can't say there is no griefing in pvp servers because to be honest, its what I would do, and if I would do it, someone else will too.

  Just a warning, but if you gonna join a PvP server and expect not to be ganked, at any level, you're already being naive and probably picked the wrong server.
  
  I personally love the adrenaline that I can kill and be killed at any time, even if its a crucial moment like a BAM or something. Its what makes the game more fun to me, I love how many times someone tried chasing me and I manage to escape or kite and kill them even in 2x1 or 3x1 occasions. Sure you could duel/BG or whatever the fuck on the PvE, and I like that too, just not on a named "PvE" server.
  
  Anyway, I don't mind what server people are picking, just don't come to PvP thinking people gonna be as fair and kind as the other servers and cry about it later. Sure it also has the same trashtalk community as any other, but just filter chat and there are also tons of great guilds and players to meet in there.

  Of course, some people will pk just for laughs.
  
  However, they generally get their teeth kicked in pretty kick. Even if you do get killed, the likelihood of being camped is virtually non-existent. Almost every pk I've run into while lvling has been some duo, that fights me and my partner, and we both have a really good time doing it.
• Lewd wrote on 2013-01-20 05:14
  Just be on a different channel and you won't be ganked.

  Yes, and TERA has huuuuge maps with two or more channels, you can always switch if there's a PK in sight.
  Rarely they'll feel like following you all the way there just to PK you.
  
  And the "community issue" is from the stone age of the internet, if you haven't learned how to deal with them by now then babysfirstmmo.jpeg etc;
