A little bit of TERA (lag)!

So... I've been playing TERA for a few weeks now and am really enjoying the experience o.O Surprisingly lol. Didn't expect to like it this much to be honest but its last beta won me over.

I'm currently playing on the EU servers because US servers are region locked to people in my region (Asia, *shakes her fist at them*). It's my first time playing on EU servers and I must say that its interesting! :) Really interesting to see so many different languages and guilds around. People are pretty helpful and nice too ^^ (although I'm sure now with TERA launching yesterday, the lower level chats must be horrible).

Since me and the bf (and a couple of friends) preordered the game, we started playing about a week ago during headstart. Managed to hit level 32 before servers reopened for launch on our mains (an Elin Priest and Popori Lancer).

Launch day for me was... laggy??! Pretty bad lag at that. A second delay on all actions made combat annoying... dodging attacks was challenging as well. My warrior alt ended up taking more damage than necessary while killing normal quest mobs. Lag makes me rage in any MMO but in TERA, its extra annoying due to the nature of the game. Like you can possibly make do in any other MMO but definitely a huge pain in TERA :) We managed to quest for a level, did a heroic group quest and then log off for the night. Had spikes up to 1000ms+. Found out much later from a friend that it could be made worse by heavily populated zones in game. A tunnel service will have to do for now.

Heading off from work now to level some more! ^__^ /waves

TGIF!
