If you missed yesterday's livestream demo of TERA's 'Rising' update you'll want to read on for the full video and highlights.

The ‘Crucible of Flame’ is a new competitive dungeon that is being introduced to the game today with the launch of TERA ‘Rising’.  The dungeon is designed for level 60 players and can be entered once a day for non-Elite members or twice a day for Elite members.  You’ll also need tier 13 gear to jump into the dungeon using TERA’s Instance Matching feature.

Gah, I have a huge download.  I should have checked the launcher last night but I forgot.

For a faster download make sure to turn off P2P in the tools section of the launcher.

"Exempt from earnest money requirements on brokerage"

Is that a typo?

I don't think so but they could have worded it a little better.  Basically it means you are exempt from paying taxes on the auction house.

im pretty impressed with what the old subscribers get for free. This is a free to play transition that is probably the best out there and the game is by far not a bad game at all. I think out of all the free to play games , this one will end up being pretty successful. SOE is also finally starting to learn as well with vanguard and making everything pretty much free and you get perks if you sub to it. But elite status is well worth the 15 bucks a month for tera just for the perks alone it seems like.

I agree wholeheartedly with that part. I even mentioned this to someone who was complaining about his friends getting "perks" over his free status.

Free players get access to pretty much everything in-game buuut subscribers/founders get "perks".

It's so illogical to me, to complain about something that's free and that you haven't paid a single penny for.

Like living with your parents ? ....consider the source of those complaints.

True, different perspectives. Doesn't mean they're right though. I'm not ungrateful or (I choose to believe lol) that I'm not (that) entitled.

I wonder when we'll see our terra club bonuses (keys, village atlas, etc), I'm lvl 58 and I WANT those before I hit 60.

Ppl are saying we can wait 2-3 weeks for them, wtf.

yuck

Happy so far but with one exception.  Character transfers are more restrictive (Lvl 40 and only among the three original servers)  You would think that with the initial influx of new players, they would make transfers less restrictive for a time until the population levels out a bit.  /shrug.

 It's most likely to stop people from exploiting the economy. PvP to PvE transfers were never allowed before and the two servers have different economies.

Story is hard to follow and it is grindy -you will probably drop it.

I do like the game, don't get me wrong but the grind is just awlful in this one and the graphic models are shared too much between mobs.

My takes different, quests are the boring same 'ol but the "grind" is what it's about, the combat & learning each mobs tactics along your travels. And although for the most part the mob graphics have that whimsical asian look they are extremely detailed down to those damn minions and definetely different from each very cool zone. And the zones graphics are amazing looking. Must not be your thing.

I noticed they've tweaked the classes a bit so your not on that bitter edge with the timing all the time, much needed change IMO. FTP seems like a welcome change, server is packed looking forward to see the goodies in the Outfitters shop.
