    Thanks for the launcher tips! So I've been poking around on the TERA site looking for PVP info. I have every intention of playing on a PVE server but one of the things I love most about SW:TOR is the WarZones. PVP in Tera sounds more like duels and people setting up their own little battles unless I read it wrong. I hope there are WZs and im just not seeing it.

    They're revamping them and releasing them in the summer.

    And don't sell Deathmatches short: up to 10v10 matches where you can bet items and money is the stuff dreams are made of. :)

    Also, there's Guild v Guild wars like this one:

    Yeah that DM looks pretty slick. How does the game play with a Gamepad? I have a Razor Naga but 360 Pad is nice.

    Sinndra, my fiancee and guild leader, uses a 360 pad on her warrior and she loves it to death.

    You can hold each of the bumpers AND both at once to access a new group of commands for each one. The recognition is awesome, too: just plug it in and it's golden.

    Also, love the naga mouse: just got one and it's AWESOME...

    I'll give both a shot then! Glad to hear that the 360Pad works well because from the gameplay vids it seems perfect.

    The Naga is on my list of things to get when I can. If only the cordless one weren't fuck-you expensive.

    ...and when you are done with that; take a folding
    chair to Creation and then suplex the Void.

    From said notes:
    Players can now explore the prologue tutorial of the Island of Dawn. Players will enter the game as a level 20 character of the same class and fight alongside the members of the first expedition. Players will receive quests to execute and explore the combat system. Upon completion, they'll land on the Island of Dawn as their proper level 1 character.

    So...have a taste at being badass and fight awesome monsters...then get booted to the island and enjoy having two skills at your disposal to fight trees. Doesn't make much sense, since it's just going to make the island feel even more drawn out and pointless.

    I don't think so, really. A lot of games do this to kind of tease you with the cool shit you'll be getting later, which tends to motivate people more.

    also, does TERA have a wowhead type site or something similar? just looking for a decent skill database with a good layout.

    Unfortunately no. Closest thing I found was a glyph calculator on a Russian site. I don't know if it's updated for the post lvl 58 skills

    I have rechargeable batteries.

    Oh, I don't even mean the expense with the batteries. I mean I'm neurotic about wondering if the batteries are starting to die, thus causing it to lag. ;)

    This is absolutely true.

    I had at least 4-5 people from my WoW guild I showed Tera who weren't impressed with it but I KNEW they would've been, if only they had a chance to fight a BAM. I wasn't super impressed myself until I fought my first basilisk.

    This solves that problem (at least, it sure SOUNDS like it will...).

    I like the gamepad for melee characters but have a hard time feeling effective with one for ranged.

    Still can't decide what to play. Slayer, priest, zerker or archer!?! 18 hrs to decide!

    You do get 8 character slots. I mean, not that I'm encouraging the sort've altitis that will likely cripple any hope I personally have of progress, but just sayin'
    So uh, yeah. We can play tomorrow!

    Hard to believe! Makes me want to call in sick tomorrow so I can be present when the servers go live, but calling in sick on Friday seems a much better idea.

    I am really hoping we get that here soon.

    I can't wait for that to be implemented in our version.

    An embarrassing amount of MMOs have just that on character creation. Do we really want them to add it elsewhere?

    Man, almost makes me want to roll on a PVP server. Well, here's hoping the GvG on PVE servers is flexible enough to allow for this sort of awesome shit. I really like how long people's TTK is in this game, it's what made WAR so much fun in comparison to WoW's PVP. Well, until people started stacking Sorc pools that instagibbed you because there was like 10 of them ticking on you at the same time.

    Yeah we had this discussion some pages back, and most agree with what you are saying... it looks pretty awesome and damn near worth rolling on a PvP server... except for the part where you actually have to level on the PvP server in order to participate.

    Best option if you're going to go that route obviously is to start early and power level, so you won't be behind the curve. I'll admit to being tempted, but ultimately I'm just a bit too casual (and altoholic) for that. :)

    Because you and I are the only ones that use it, Bri. :( Along with all the League of Legends people. Getting people on there during SW:TOR was similar to pulling teeth some times.
