Hello! I don't mean to necro this thread since I'm aware the last post was a few months ago but I really would like to get a few answers and I've seen some discussions about the issues I have in this thread. So here goes... I recently (on the recommendation of a friend) decided to get Tera. He plays on one of the US pvp servers and so another friend of mine and I decided to join him. The thing is we live in India currently and we can't log in cuz afaik theyre blocking Indian IPs on US servers or something along those lines? So we tried to work around it with a VPN (Hotspot Shield) but it has been for naught. So is that it? Is there no way for people from India to play on US servers? The only reason we wanna play US is cuz we have a friend there who we wanna join. Secondly, if we cannot play on US servers... can we play on EU servers? If we can play on EU servers do we need to use a VPN thingy to circumvent the IP blocks? Also, I understand that the EU client is completely different from the US one... so do I have to download another ~25gigs of Tera to play on EU? Thanks a lot in advance!

The US and EU servers have different publishers, so they don't follow the same region lock policies. The US servers, operated by En Masse Entertainment, block Asian IP's (apparently because most hackers and gold farmers are from Asian countries). The EU servers however, don't block Asian IP's, so you can play the EU servers operated by Gameforge, without any VPN or proxy servers. I'm from India as well, and I can play the EU servers just fine.

Anyone still playing Tera? I got back into it recently, and now that I'm playing with a bunch of friends, it seems a million times more fun than it was earlier. If anyone's playing the EU version, I'm on the Arcadia server shard, and my chars are Rykage and Fimbulwyntr.

So. I had pretty much written TERA off, but then out of seemingly nowhere they did a rather major update that has some cool stuff. First, Gunner class. Complete with over the top anime style gun that should probably be on the deck of a battleship rather than being held by a person. tera.enmasse.com/gunnerBut whatever, it's large and makes everything explode in flaming death. I made one myself today to give it a try and it's probably some of the most fun I've had in an MMO in a while. The whole class just flows together with movement and firepower. Did I mention it's free? You don't have to pay for it. Just log in, make one, and go shoot stuff in the face. Only one downside to it so far. It's locked to ONLY female High Elves and Castanics. So it's play as a lady or don't play as a gunner. That gripe quickly went away for me once I got into really playing it since it's a fun and well put together class. Playing as a mostly naked chick carrying a death bazooka from hell that's literally larger than her body isn't so bad in the end. I think... Second, Steam launch! For the Steam junkies out there, TERA can now be downloaded and played through Steam. I did this myself. It works. Third, free stuff! Gunner is free, but they're also giving away a package of free stuff including a premium cash shop mount. It's a permanent mount too, not a temporary one. It's some sort of large robot thing that you sit on top of on a throne. It's weird and it makes all kinds of weird noises when you ride around on it, but whatever, it's fast and it's free. And it's a robot/mecha...thing. Shut up and ride it, no complaining! You only need to log on and then claim it from the item claim service. Fourth, double exp boost event! Self explanatory. At least I hope it is for ya. >.> Fifth, streamlined Island of Dawn experience! Basically, they chopped out a bunch of the crappy missions and redid the rest of them in the newbie area. It's no longer a boring slog like it used to be. Perfect for all the new gunners coming in. I found it to be quite nice and fairly quick. So yeah. TERA. Gunner. Steam. Free. Go!

I made a Gunner and breezed through the first leg of the game in no time flat. Burst Fire is INSANE.

Isn't it though? Looking at the skill list, gunner also gets some sort of area bombardment skill and some kind of super saiyan laser beam attack that also work off the willpower mechanic like burst fire. Open with super saiyan beam and then burst fire anything left over...I can't wait for that. Gunner overall is just insane. Especially with the Avatar weapons. I just got the second one while farming BAMs in the Celestial Hills. It's pretty stupid how strong those things are. I heard gunner got a nerf on KTERA so I suspect it will come to our servers as well. I probably won't mind it though since gunner is just so brutally OP. When I can one shot even level mobs just by opening with arcane missile, something might be a little off.

I can see why the class would need a nerf, I just hope it doesn't get nerfed too hard. Was playing a launcher spec'd Ranger in PSO2 right before I hopped over to Tera and boy howdy do I love how the big guns in Tera actually do big damage. Launchers in PSO2 are almost literal pea shooters in comparison.

Yeah I hope it doesn't get hit too badly. Now that I've really played it though, I think it does need to be toned down a little. I got the robot pet summon that not only shoots missiles at stuff but also heals me. Later on it looks to get stationary gun turrets in addition to the pet robot. I mean I just solo'd the Bastion of Lok dungeon with no trouble at all. It's listed as a 5 man dungeon too. I wasn't over leveled either. It's listed as level 25 and I went in at 28 and smoked the whole place. I'm not entirely sure that should be possible lol. Ah well, I'll enjoy the ridiculous OP gunner while it lasts.

Guys, as always, I appreciated the heads up and acted on your information.
Unfortunately, I am in a prohibited region. It's like...they can sense how dangerous I am.
I mean, I -can- find a VPN or a proxy that would get around their block, but because that causes lag issues, I'm sadly going to have to pass on this one. The gunner idea in a fantasy game is fun, though, so that really got my interest.

You still might be able to play. TERA has localized versions for each region. TERA NA: tera.enmasse.com/TERA EU: en.tera.gameforge.com/news/indexTERA Korea: tera.hangame.com/index.nhnTERA China: tera.klyou.com/TERA JP: members-tera.hangame.co.jp/(I can't seem to get this one to load. Maybe I'm IP blocked or something. Might not even be the right page since I can't get it to load to check it.) I'm not sure if all the versions have gunner on them yet though. I know that KTERA is ahead of everyone else since it's a Korean game made in Korea. I've heard complaints that the EU version is garbage due to Gameforge being terrible, so most EU players go over to the NA servers to avoid them. Main complaints are that the Gameforge version has next to no support and the cash shop is like 3x more expensive than the NA version. I have no idea what's going on with the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean servers though. I can't read the languages so I can't tell you unfortunately.

Oooookay. Well I tried the event and it's no fun. BAM camps are packed. After an hour of killing these things I only got the T letter. Do not like.

Event Farming Diary: Day 2
I now have a total of 7 hours farming these things. Only have T and E letters. 8 T's and 3 E's. I've gone from level 33 to 41 just from killing random BAMs for the event. Have more campfires, res scrolls, and teleport scrolls from drops than I can ever use. Got the entire level 38 Avatar weapon and fully upgraded it before I got a letter drop today. It lets me kill faster though. The fingers on my left hand literally hurt now. Don't know if I can keep it up to ever see this stupid dragon. Will see how my hand feels tomorrow.
