Ok, so maintenance time. Blah. Got to lvl 4 in the 20 or so minutes I was playing. I'm playing a Warrior (going to go dps, I've tanked too much in past MMOs to want to do it again).
Chaining abilities is fun, combat movement is fun as avoiding attacks since you can actually dodge attacks and whatnot.
The prologue was short, but you get to fight a BAM (big ass monster) to show what you'll be fighting once you level up a bit.
So, not much to say atm. The game is beautiful though, and combat is spiffy.

I hit lvl 12, and was about to start the last quest for the starter island when I got D/C. En Masse is having huge issues with subscriptions.... I never got my 30 days free time, and was immediately charged for the first month, but I can't log in b/c it says my subscription is expired even though it won't let me choose anything.
Yay for launch bugs.

Finished up the newbie island this morning and made it to the main city. starting area was good at getting you used to getting around via the teleport system as well as learning a good bit about how your character is going to play.
Started crafting a bit as well. Leatherworking seems broken....it seems like it's easier to extract your leatherworking materials than it is to gather and make them, but I may be completely wrong.
Enjoying the game so far.

Tera is the one where you can play as a raccoon right?

So Nevest, does the game become much harder after the Island of Dawn? Because the monsters atm are so terrible.
Like I'm fighting a Cromos and he does that eye spark thing that announce a big attack, so I just say '' aaah okay '' and go gather some plants while it attacks nothing.
I shouldn't have the time to gather while fighting!
I'm 27. Still haven't grouped. Ended up skipping the first dungeon entirely (which I didn't really intend on doing, but queue times for dps were long and no one in the guild was running it).
I joined Caprica, the largest guild on the server, and while it's strange joining a guild without knowing someone before hand, or knowing exactly what I want to do with the game, it gives me more quests for guild tokens that I can use to buy gear, and everyone I've talked to in it has been pretty cool so far.
I died for the first time sometime overnight this morning. I think I was 21, maybe 22. Decided to try and solo one of the BAMs (the first one you get a quest for) and I would have had it if I had remembered my agro shadow ability and been using it the entire time, but I slipped up. I did get the big bad guy down to 66.6% (no joke) before he decided he'd had enough.
Thinking about starting a healer to run with you Ayu since you're all tanky tank and only playing him/her when you're on or when I need to catch it up to your guy, but I'm not sure how directional healing really works so that may fall through and I may just make another dps (ranged this time) to run with y'all.
Messed around with the broker system (basically the auction house), and it's nice that each main city of a quest zone has a couple brokers in it so you can take care of that without having to go back to the primary capitol.
Enchanting is.....interesting.
Working on my alchemy, leatherworking and weaponsmithing right now as well.
I'm loving the glyph system they have for modding skills, and the limitations put on it by the point system.
Just my thoughts so far.

Just had my first experience tanking as a warrior. Did SM twice, got a few good upgrades and one awesome one (that I promptly chanted to +3.....f***ing chant system.....failed like 4 times...that was 2 gold...).
Loved tanking with a good group, but it worries me that we're pretty much a dodge tank and most people are going to want a lancer bc they can just sit there and hold a button.
Was fun though. =D

Haha, whenever you want, the game's not going anywhere, hopefully!
Also my friend list is filling pretty fast, I've been helping people killing Basilik all day long.
Well what happens is that I solo Basiliks, and then some guy comes and attack it too, I assume he needs the quests and is scared to solo so I just invite him in my party and he's grateful as hell, especially since I don't take any drops except for the cash.
I also invite to my party people who are soloing them and who seem to be in trouble, like that Berserker this afternoon who just couldn't handle it, invite her and we kicked major asses, especially after 3 other dude asked to join in.
I've almost done 6 levels killing those things and I don't want to stop.
