i am blocked out of the game so...

All good points because the fact is that its all very personal... I need a little of everything in my gaming life... Some Skyrim, some Mass Effect, some Kingdom of Amalur, and now Tera-online... If i feel like different styles i play a game according to that style... I happend to like Tera Art design a lot.

Completely agree! Good points all around. By butting the EXP. penalty they would bypass the problem intirely: Even if a player pair up with a super high level one... They would get barely any exp. but they could still get to play all side quest and what not... I am too new to Mmos to understant fully what is the reasonning behind such a design in quest built... What happened to me is that half way into CBT 3 i encountered a very good player with good attitude and great patience... We bonded over the fact that our group disbanded after 5 kills of the Basilisks... He however kept going and i could not just abandon her... after a while it was impossible for us to keep going because of that level cap thing... So we set out in creating new characters and stated from the beginning...

I second that idea... Its true that managing your inventory is part of the experience but i admit; There is so much loot in this game that even with both quest item AND harvert/crafting ingredients , the players would run out of room fast enough that the gameplay sequence would have to include periodic pitstop in settlements... As of right now i have to make a point in stopping way too often to be able to cash in my loots ( crutial to accumulate gold ). Now that said, the game right now seems to be balenced so that the player is stuck doing that early on (constant stops to cash in), and invest most of your earnings in ogmenting your inventory... I am thinking in bypassing any crafting quests until i have enough room in my inventory to make a difference. Also on the subject i, for now, use my bank to store all craft related items and only use them in segments of my game play where i am experimenting of that sort of activity. P.S. all side gameplay: glyphs, crafts, enchantment and what not have been eluding my full understanding ... Way too expensive and/or too hard to grasp the parts needed...

Keep up the good talk, this game could by my game of the year...

This is way over my head! I can't wait for the next CBT... At this point i don't even know how to get a pet... I am new to the MMO scene, i only played AION before and not all that long, this game will take over my gamer's life i can feel it. Is there any way to find crafting guides somewhere ingame or on the net?

I did not speakup before but ready all this makes me feel a little better too... I did not get why it was setup that way... Almost silly in fact... Its almost like they don't want us to craft at all... I thought i just missed something, like this little gameplay element that allows you to "harvest" from the loot you will not need... I thought you could get the components from that instead of paying for them...( If anybody knows please let me know, simply did not have enough time in the last CBT to find out )... At this point i am hopefull that its just because i missed something, but think about it... I have been playing Skyrim A LOT... in Skyrim, there is a TON of quest items that are not taken away from your inventory at the quests completion... So your inventory if plagued with those.... With my main castanic sorcerer i now have all... And i say ALL the provided items for All the crafting quests in my inventory and i can't get rid of them... So untill i am Rockafeller i will have to cope with my cloged inventory... Bummer... I am a crafter at heart too so i hope they make it interesting for me...

This post is very interesting to me... The way you describe your playing reminds me of me...

This is all very interesting... I had no idea about the P2P turned on or off, will try as soon as the next patch goes live... I got myself late in the second CBT for that reason, it took for ever to download and apply the patch. Does anyone know if its (and will be) possible to update the client before the next CBT, or does it only come on line at the scheduled time?
