Hey /jp/ I know there are people here that play JP TERA in Kaia or Shara. Could we probably find a way to get together when server merge on the 25th January hits?

>> No.8458196

Isn't the JP subscription pretty expensive? You guys got guts.

Is the endgame okay?

>> No.8458201

>>8458196
Currently due to how easy it is to max, endgame is pretty limited. Still, they are adding more stuff to it. For those that want to dress up they are adding costumes soon.

I played in the beta a while back, but got too bored to progress terribly far. The game disappointed me a bit (though the Elin models were still very nice). Turns out that doing optimal damage involved standing in one spot spamming your skills, just like any other MMO.

Go figure.

>>8458203
End game bosses don't let you tank in spank, in the sense that non-tanks get one shotted if you stay behind the boss during some attack's. They did a good job of making sure each fight in the 55-58 instances are challenging and fun to do.

Nip servers are already getting merged? Wow thats pathetic. They better put out some content fast or this game is going to fold in a year.

Its a damn shame to, because it has potential.

Needs a shit load of end game content, needs pvp for a much larger variety of levels and some sort of open world faction pvp.

Anything less and they may as well cancel the north american beta.

Ive seen their plans and Im pretty sure their plans dont include most of that. I think their answer to pvp was PK tokens you could purchase for a ridiculous amount of money.

Do you need to have vpn always on, or you can disconnect it after login? It's hard to use evasion skills with vpn induced lag.

>>8458344
I will never understand the mentality that supports ganking. I'm all for PvP in a controlled setting where I can choose to engage it or not. I do not appreciate having my calm grindan time interrupted by fuckheads who think that surprising me when I have 20% health is any kind of good sportsmanship.

>> No.8458359

PK no longer uses tokens. You can start PK-ing freely after level 41 which is after gaining a skill to trigger PK mode.

>> No.8458355

PK on the PK server, no PK on the non-PK server, what's the problem?

>> No.8458368

>>8458349
Because its boring as fuck killing mindless npcs for weeks on end. Every now and then a player with balls wants a little danger.

When I see a level 60 approach me in my level 20 zone, I like the risk that he may actually try to kill me. Perhaps He will have autism and will chase me across 3 zones only to lose me around some trees.

I also like the option that I can put an axe in some pricks head that keeps attacking my mobs.

If you dont like it, then dont complain when your game is a ghostown because all the pvpers left.

>> No.8458366

>>8458355
Togglable PK mode is the best option. Because sometimes yes, you do feel like taking on all challengers in a random area of the game. But then when you get tired of it you should be able to stop.

Except that doesn't happen. What actually happens is that some guy will approach you, appear to ignore you for a while then only attack when you're at low health because "winning" is more important than "fighting".

Thats another example of carebear pvp and you dont build a thriving population with it.

Sounds lame, first I dont think this game can hold my attention for 41 levels and second, "trigger PK mode". Sounds like op-in safe pvp. PVP loses all the fun when its safe.

Its still a carebear system. No one in WoW rolled on a PVE server for its glorious pvp. Toggling pvp is glorified dueling. Faction based PVP is currently the best system.

I don't like pvp in mmos. I'm here to fap to my loli and enjoy the scenery, maybe an occasional raid, not for the constant fear of being ganked.

That guy rolled on a pve server for the pvp. Thats the sort of stupidity that you get with carebears.

What I dont get about Korean games is the original Korean games were all about pvp, they all had pvp and it was an intricate part of the game. Now they are pushing out all this PVE crap and its failing. Why have an MMO if your players cant go at it? May as well play single player games.

The ideal for me for MMOs is high-difficulty small-party PvE dungeons. PvP is fairly irrelevant, and raiding is bullshit.

>> No.8458556

Because one delay after another.

The game wont make it though. Censorship, weak pvp systems, weak end game pve. It may be a great core game but thats all it is. They should sell it to NCsoft and try to cut their losses. Its a shame because the game play really felt smooth. They put some good work in to it. Its going to die from a lack of vision.

>> No.8458570

>>8458542
Another example of weak game play. Raiding is hard, its hard because you have to get your weakest link to stop failing. It adds many, many hours to a game and keeps the players coming back. Players like you that get tired of the 5mans in a week dont make good customers.

>Vindictus in the context of high-difficulty
Does Vindictus actually get more challenging towards the end? I'm in the lvl55 range and the only thing that has been remotely challenging was Irukul ... but mostly because 80% of the group are unable to dodge blatantly obvious attacks.

>> No.8460337

>>8460320
The way Vindictus handles challenge is either through hero mode, which is a basically a glorified gear check with faster enemies (don't have high att, can't finish some hero modes) or unblockables that you eventually learn how to avoid. So far, other than Ingkells/Glas a lot of attacks from raid bosses have been seen in other places.

It takes like 4 days to get to level 30. I think the problem is that you have the attention span of a rat.

I have a 48 Archer on カイア. I haven't played in a few months, but I'm considering picking up some more time so I can get to endgame.

The guildvsguild system is in place... the western audience managing to make fun use of it is something else though.

The political system is a bit dry as at the moment its a pretty standalone feature. The election process then getting policy points shit and a fancy mount is about all you get out of it. As far as i know guild reputation and wars don't factor much into owning your province as you can't ever lose the province until it becomes re-election time.
