Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
TERA: Game is out! You should come play it!
Posts
Gonna try beta drivers for my 560ti, but I can't see them making much difference.
Try giving the tweaks in the op a whirl while you're at it. They've boosted my performance considerably and made the game look better without putting any additional strain on my system. Though I'm going to probably have to rehost that AA file, I don't think the original link works anymore. I'll have to do that when I get home from work in the morning.
Sadly, Tera is very CPU-intensive instead of being vidcard intensive.
When you pull the final boss - the pairs of mobs in the room with the sealed door come to his aid. If you clear the 2 pairs ( I think it was 2 pairs + a patrol but you have to kill the patrol on the way toward the ladder) then you won't have those adds racing in to get you from behind.
EDIT: There has been some issue with poor, stuttery and downright unplayable conditions among a few people. A couple I know, people with mid to high-end machines. One has been in direct contact with EME and found the information they've been fed, quote, "Upsetting". But have been unable so far to determine if the problem is on their end or if they are getting throttled somehow by their ISPs.
Still, I am considering preordering it anyway.
Also, if it was only the prologue, it might just be an issue with that since it was so recently tacked on. Try running around on Island of Dawn and see if it isn't better.
I'll take care of it once I get home from work.
I don't understand. Off the top of my head I can't think of any mmo which has had separate EU and US publishers where the EU hasn't been fucked by them. DAoC used to actually get patches literal months after the US version.
It's not even really the blood that annoys me, I played WoW for years and that's full on cartoon levels of violence. What worries me is that everything in future made by EME will be with the higher rating in mind, so us in the EU are going to have additional censorship to look forward to in the future.
Some of the people playing it are real dicks too.
...oh, wait.
Several Euros were in beta this weekend reporting no issues with lag, so... that's a possibility if you want to just purchase the US version. Of course, play times might be a little awkward, but it may be worth it.
I honestly don't even know where this problem is coming from. I mean... is there like a ton of blood later in the game or something? I have the 'Lurid slider' cranked to the right and don't ever really see anything I'd call remotely gruesome.
My system is similar to yours - 560 Ti, i5-2500, 16GB RAM - and the game ran flawlessly for me on high settings. I didn't look at the actual framerates but I didn't notice any slowdowns really at all. I'll have to double check tonight.
I have twice as much RAM, but I'm not sure that'd make that huge of a difference.

That said she wants to make a Castanic male because, and I quote, "they're hilarious."
The current version of nvidia inspector includes a Tera profile that you can edit to enable AA and other things if you like.
Delphin Twitch Stream:
yeah that's exactly what I'm talking about. under the Tera profile you have to choose a compatibility mode because Tera doesn't have it, even though it has a profile.
I have a link to the settings I changed floating around somewhere I'll post it when I find it. It may be on my other comp though.
Delphin Twitch Stream:
yeah, read my edit.
No no there was a screenshot I found that Had some very specific changes, I'm pretty sure I saved it on my other comp though so it'll be a few minutes whilst I retrieve it.
Delphin Twitch Stream:
Yes, I know. These are my settings:
the only thing below that is threaded optimization, which you should set to on. you can also use adaptive vsync if you have the latest drivers.
Delphin Twitch Stream:
"under the Tera profile you have to choose a compatibility mode because Tera doesn't have it, even though it has a profile."
Tera doesn't support real AA by default, so if you don't set a compatibility there's a good chance it won't work properly.
I realize that, hence my question. Why did you choose Starcraft 2?
Anywho this is the one I found, slightly different.
Delphin Twitch Stream:
Someone did a full write-up at the following link:
http://teracodex.com/forums/topic/162-anti-aliasing-for-tera-nvidia-only/
Woah defensive much? I was just curious why you chose Starcraft 2 over other games that may be more similar (such as games that may actually use the unreal 3 engine).
And in reading through your link, that guy doesn't give a reason for it either. Ah well.
Delphin Twitch Stream:
Still on the fence about buying it though.
It's funny, I picked up a card at PAX telling me about the open beta for this game knowing almost nothing about it (beyond it being an action MMO). Figured I'd check it out, then the Diablo 3 open beta decided to fall on the exact same weekend. I thought I'd probably check out TERA for 5 minutes when I couldn't log into Diablo 3, but in an unexpected turn of events I spent about 20 minutes playing D3 and the rest of my free time trying different classes in TERA.
Long story short, D3 went from a day one purchase to an "eh," while I'll probably be picking up TERA asap.

Had some of the poopsock crowd that raced to level 32 and then ran around isle of dawn, lumbertown, and the SB entrance griefing. Most of them ran once there was an even force to oppose them.
Another trick that was prevalent was having unflagged spotters move through channels to locate people, then bring the guild at war team to team up in an alternate channel, then spring out on top of the others.
Hit 32 on my mystic, have a gold weapon and shirt both enchanted to +3. Considered trying for +6, but the death threats intimidated me.
I'm confused. What death threats? Do people get your gear if they kill you?
You can turn that crap off, but it reverts as soon as you zone, and soft transitions were also doing it.
