Tera-EU: CBT1 PK server review

Tags : tera, tera gold, buy tera gold, tera news    

I thought I would write this as there is yet to be a review by someone that did the EU PvP server, so this is just my impressions and possibilitys on what could change on next betas/release.

I managed to reach level 22 on the second night of the CBT as i had re-rolled another character when i was half way through my other, which means by the time I was level 11+, there was already people at level 22 then started to go onto some PK sprees/ganks with other players, killing the lowbies for the sake of being a pain and of course ganking higher levels when they obviously know they can win as per usual, so i certainly had my taste of the jack ass players.

So compared to PvE servers, it's definitely intense and you always have to keep your eyes peeled for possible attacks, even though the game has quite a limited visual distance on other players, you can generally see the flagged players slightly further anyway, due to the fact that they have some sort of blue circle on the floor around them at all times anyway, then when you do see them, their name is red, what I managed to figure out is that generally if they're a few levels higher or so and their gear is generally somewhat better, then the chances of them winning is much more likely, so this game is quite gear based, not to say you can't win though, just note that what I just said is based off low level PvP where there will be a lot of imbalances (like in all games pretty much) until end game is hit and you have all your skills.

Such as berserkers in 1v1 are really hard to use at lower levels compared to a class like the slayer in which is really easy to use due to pretty much all of their hits having a wide arc of attack making it quite hard to miss your opponent while having quite a good speed of attack, even though warriors have quite a good arc of hit and hit quite fast, their attacks are generally weaker and take a bit more effort to get your kill, also with slayers having some ranged attack which hits quite hard and has 3 consecutive hits.

I'll say that if you plan to join a PvP server at all as a lone wolf not planning to join a guild, then unless you enjoy being an easy target with no real way to get revenge, then stay on the PvE servers, this is simply due to all the ganking that goes off on the servers, I dare say if i didn't join a guild a week or 2 prior to this CBT1 and played on this PK server, I would of just said the hell with it and went to PvE, now that said, I normally play PvE servers on most games as i simply cant be bothered with games that you drop your gear on PK or lose bulks of exp instead, but with this game not having any penalty's on death apart from you just lose your stamina which isn't really to hard to get back, you just wait at a camp fire and let it regen, so this game for me and I'm sure many others works great, though I'm straying off on what I was saying.

With all the ganks that happen, having a guild is very much needed, simply because a few times I had them either get rid of 1 or 2 people that were lingering about killing low levels and even escort me and another lower level guild member which worked quite well, as at one point around level 18, 2 players around 20-22 tried attacking us, we had a level 22 slayer there who was helping us speed some quests at the time, though they had a lil duel so my guildy died pretty much straight away leaving just me and the slayer that was helping us, thankfully I was using a lancer at the time, so i was able to sponge a ton of damage as a distraction as i couldn't engage them to well, thankfully the slayer cleaned them both out, so their gank failed, only for about 5-10 mins later 6 or so of their guild members came in a bigger force to try gank again as sad as it is and failed so to speak as they didn't get all 3 of us, just the slayer that was helping us out in the first place, though I think that was due to him trying to attack back till realizing how many they were, then of course the 2 gankers that died in the first place also came, making them have about 8 of them vs 3.

So situations like that happened quite often, the only difference was when i was level 22 I could fight back, whilst also calling guildies to help to clear them out, as a lot of us were killing BAMs, some squad decided to gank my guilds squad, in which as we were using buy tera gold mumble, we quickly alerted everyone and got a good squad of us to assist and clear them out which was a lot of fun for us, ganking the gankers never felt so good, so all in all the PvP servers are a hell of a lot of fun especially due to the no penalty on death, you just simply get on with it and perhaps even change channel incase they are still lingering around, just like I said though, I recommend getting a guild if you haven't already or at least join a good one in game, if not then I'd say stick to the PvE servers if you just want to relax and play without the trouble of gankers.

On a side note, the ganking come release I think will be toned down a lot, due to everyone simply wanting to get to max level and get all their gear, simply because they won't be able to sit around attacking lowbies without getting ganked them self and even a possible kos by a lot of players if their idea of fun is griefing lowbies with constant killing, but I suppose we will see much later.
