Most free to play games I have played use this. Basically its like an auction house. Someone buys EMP. They then stick up however much they want to sell off for gold at a price. Like 10g per point of emp or whatever the current rate is. If a player is looking to buy EMP he just pulls up the auction system checks people selling and then buys the amount of emp he needs from players that have it for sale. I don't think its a bad idea since people are goin to buy EMP in game anyway. This just makes I easier for players that want to sell it to sell it without having to look for people.

From a programming perspective, those raid dungeons are INSTANCES nonetheless

not really complaining though lol.


If you want to look at it that way all zones are considered instances after all most zones have a selector for when they get full to allow players to change zones ie instances.
Just a question are the permanent versions of those single use items? Once you use it on a character you cant ever retrieve it again? Also if you use it on a character does it bind or can you trade it to a different character if you get tired of it?
Any chance of getting this all day Wednesday since its a holiday and alot of poeple will be around all day?

That's half of what the game cost.
Only 5 dollars less if you took advantage of the numerous 'half off' sales.
Relative, paying a mere 10 extra dollars for CE gifted you a LION mount, with the same move speed of 280. Lions are arguably much cooler than horses, flaming feet or not.
I will laugh at anyone I see in game with one of these.


so because you want it but can't realistically afford it, you feel you have to put down the company/others? is that it?


Lots of poeple can afford it myself including I just dont see any point spending 25 dollars on a mount that isnt any faster than the lion. I mean thats 2 months sub price for a mount that isnt any better than what you can already get. For poeple that wanted a fast mount as a first time purchase they arent going to spend 25 bucks for a nightmare when they can get a lion mount and other items to level up with from the collectors for only 10 bucks. Sure there are a few poeple that have the gotta have it mentality and will buy it. But im sure if they sold it cheaper they would sell alot more and would offset the difference of the few poeple buying it for 25 bucks.
I dont mind paying for cosmetic items i want but this price is pretty stupid. I mean if the mount was faster than everything out it would be one thing but this thing is the same speed as the Lion. So a person wants a 280 mount and what do they do. They can either buy a nightmare mount for 25 bucks or they can buy the collectors edition upgrade for 10 bucks and get a mount and items for characters to level up with. I wonder which is better deal... Seriously should have just priced the mount at 10 bucks if you wanted more than a handful of poeple to buy it.

I myself played wow upon release and loved it. I struggled through the hard grinding times and the game was incredibly popular. You couldnt find it oon the shelf at a store. However when they made it Easy Mode is when I knew I was finished with it. Now there is a difference between using your skill to accomplish things that other players cant, and then, theres RNG like in our enchanting system, It is FKING PATHETIC that I can waste 10k and fail 50 times in a row, when joe shmow who plays the game twice a week and doesnt know that he has a block on his lancer can get lucky. Freakin BS


I respect your post but why do people insist to call wow easy mode unless you can honestly tell me you ran any 10reason man /julio 25 man raid on heroic.

No way you guys can consider that easy.


You want to know why people consider WOW easy? Its really simple. WOW has mods that almost play the game for you. Its simple as that. Sure WOW has stupid players same as all games do but it takes a really special kind of person to die when there screen is yelling at them to move out of the fire or dont stand next to poeple or to move to the other side of the mob or whatever the effect is for that boss. This is why WOW is easy mode because it relies less on players knowing how to play and more on players knowing how to listen to there mods.
Im just going to point a few things. You know you praise Wow for doing all 3 right but you know Wow at release wasnt any better than this. Wow at release had 1 raid dungeon. Molton Core. Which was a horrible grind it mean you spent hours on trash, had to worry about keying all the raid members by doing stupid long involved quests etc. The rest of the content was at max level was just crap level 60 zones which which gave blue gear. Even the other "raid zones" like upper brs and Scholo only gave blue gear for rewards. Wow released in Nov of 2004, The next major update, a group zone was added in march 2005, 5 months later. June 7th they finally added battlegrounds, that was 8 months after release, after that the next raid instance came out in July12 for Blackwing lair. After that we got a small raid instance Zul'Gurub in September and another battleground. So for wows first year you got 1 new group instance. 2 raid dungeons and 3 battlegrounds. Now look at TERA. Tera started at a lvl 50 level cap. They then moved to 58 and then 60. The content from 50-58 plus all the dungeons in that range and the ones at 58 were all added. Then they added 2 more levels and more dungeons at 60. Beginning of July Korea is getting 3 new dungeons and there battlegrounds should be back. Little more than a year after the game released they have added this much content. I dont think TERA is doing badly at all. Your looking at a brand new company that has a limited amount of funding and a small staff and they are still managing to bring in regular content updates. I believe TERA can become a really good game as long as poeple just give them a chance to keep devolping for it. Just for the record I enjoyed playing Wow but I have enjoyed lots of mmos including games like Lineage 2, EQ and DAOC etc. I dont have a problem with taking a break from a game for a bit and playing something else if content becomes boring. Games will never make content as fast as players consume it as long as they have level caps in games.

It's also good if you're a mile away from the boss and still want to do DPS. Charge it up out of range and release it as soon as you get close enough. Done, no wasted DPS time.

It's the same thing as Zerker's charge skills, but people are so narrow minded that they can't see DPS being anything other than actively hitting the enemy.


You realize you cant move while casting it right? it roots you in place. Its pretty much a worthless skill that never gets used as you get higher level because just about everything else you have is better damage.

But why a _third_ Health/Mana/X-bar? Im not certain that that is needed, nor a sensible thing do to.

Considering that the Mana and (lets call it) Defence bar will have the same behavior as now (ie the defence one will decrease with defence successes) and the Tank has then one almost useless Mana bar. The only reason I can think about is his healing skill, although adding a bar just for his rather weak health restore is ....weird.

Dunno if all this is in accordance to KTera, though I'd stick with the 2-bars system. Its proven to be effective in so many games, why change it?

edit: typo - wicked popori did it!


The 3rd bar is a new bar warriors and lancers get to help with tanking, the korean devs said it would be use for tanking abilities like dodge and block so that as long as you have "stamina the new bar" you wont waste your mana on those abilities and dodge and stuff wont go on cooldown. They said it will regen really slow but it always regens by getting hit. So its just a useful bar for tanks to make it easier to manage abilites when tanking and still be able to use some mana for dps. This is a change for KTera its not something eme is doing themselves.
