Tera Menma Server
Nikky Schreier
Here's a collection of direct links to the various TERA related discord servers. They vary from class specific discords to stuff like the NA publisher discord and reference and related topic discords.
You'll often read that the discord servers are the best source for information but honestly, some of them can be pretty troll and unhelpful. Your mileage will vary depending on who's on and what you are asking. Most of the class servers will have channels set up to keep gearing and other character setup related information easily accessible. Sometimes it's in text form, sometimes in graphical form, and sometimes it'll be a link to the off-server guide.
If you don't want to use discords, there are related guide pages in progress that are static versions of the content from the discords and their linked guides. Discord is really okay, and you can even run it in a browser if you don't want to have the app. Give it a try at some point. Just don't feed the trolls.
From the welcome-rules channel "Welcome to the Official En Masse Entertainment Discord!" Has categories for TERA PC. #terapc-news is mostly (entirely?) the TERA twitter feed. The TERA PC subsection has all the TERA related channels. Complain about the game in #terapc-general, try to find a group in #terapc-lfg, chuckle at the name sellers in #terapc-trading, and try to be helpful to the people asking questionsin #terapc-support. The support channel is actually pretty helpful since regular users will offer help as well as staff.
From the info channel "This discord is meant to act as hub between all public TERA discords. Main purposes is to link all "listable" discords, as currently each individual discord links to some random subset of them."
Useful for catching when the servers go down and come back up for both planned and unplanned reasons. You can use this as a quick alert for server status changes by muting all the channels except for #notifications.
The Brawler class discord. Dunno why but it took me forever to realize it's a fist icon XD. When you first join, you get access to the #guides and #faq-and-gear-and-glyphs channels. To get full access, you'll need to verify your player status by posting a picture of your in-game character profile and what region / server tag you want to have.
The Warrior class discord. An open discord minus one channel that requires self-role assignment to access. Decent memes as well though really, every class discord that has a memes channel will end up seeing every other discord's memes eventually.
The Berserker class discord. Don't zerk much but seems like this is the place to be for berserkers. From the info, it sounds like there was a berserker discord prior to this one that closed or isn't available anymore. Berserker also has a google site similar to the Valkyrie guide site.
The Gunner class discord. You can access all the information channels regularly but chatting requires that you verify with a picture of your gunner profile window and what region tags you want. This is one of those discords that can be kinda trolly and unproductive for help but it's all we've got. There's also a gunner implementation of the Prav.js bot to do moongourd log analysis, comparing your his per minute and uptimes versus the script's recommended values. Invoke it in the #moongourd channel with !senpai pls moongourdlogurl. Add your character name after the URL if there was more than one gunner.
The Archer class discord. A comparatively "small" (few channels) class discord, you only need to self assign a role for chat permissions in the discussion channels. Archer is the only class that keeps an updated essential mana page.
The Valkyrie class discord. General info is available on joining the server but additional information is available after you self-assign a region and platform role. The guide is available on a google site but is out of date. Current info is embedded in the chat... which kind of makes it hard to access.
The Priest and Mystic classes discord. I heard someone tease that this is more of a fishing discord server. Dunno, I barely play healer. Channels are organized into categories for Priest and Healer with a lot of additional useful game info for game optimization and mod usage. "Guides" are embedded in the channels.
Queue Exitlag, they are by far the best ping tunneling service. They have the best traffic routing for the largest library. The only problem is lack of console integration (every tunnel service suffers from this). Console integration has to be done at the router level and currently only WTFFAST has this (inferior service).
with your game type traffic detection, server addresses, and even geo filter you could literally achieve the best integration of a tunneling service such as Exitlag and lower the pings of every gamer who doesnt live 1 hop from the server.
most fortnite players on PC use exit lag and I get a ping reduction of 20 at least when I use it on PC vs console. If it was integrated at the router level I bet it would be even better and I would be able to use it on Xbox Series X finally.
I cant be alone in saying that seeing Exitlag integrated at the router level, that will automatically detect console traffic, for a game, and automatically initiate the most efficient tunnel to the game server youre connecting to to lower console games would make the R3 the best upgrade a gamer could get in 2024.
@MegatfYou know all exit lag does is take the most efficient routing based upon your region so if your routing is bad do to your ISP that the only reason you need exit lag for most users this is useless as you can just use a regular vpn and do the same thing as exit lag is a vpn as well it just proprietary vpn software based by the company....though who knows if they'll add it they have also been requested for wtfast or whatever before so there that.
Ive used VPNs, the encryption increases latency and they arent as efficient as a pure tunneling service. You can get lower ping using a VPN if you have bad latency, but exitlag will almost always be better because it doesnt need to spend time encrypting all your data.
you can compare expressvpn to exitlag and most people will get lower ping using exit lag because their is no encryption overhead and the server locations are the most efficient for gaming, not for changing your location or hiding your data from the vpn.
Also exit lag finds your optimal path automatically instead of having to change your router settings every single time you choose a new region. It just detects the server youre going to and retunnels the most efficient path.
Personally I don't trust third party vpns that require propitiatory software installed in your system as they can be malicious though if there able to implement it for whoever wants to take the gamble with there information as a separate installation software I still wish ya the best of luck.
Are you an employee of exitlag? Have you ever conducted partnership licensing? It can take anywhere from weeks to months after an agreement is made, it could be done and software implemented in potentially a year. I dont need it so bad that Ill be angry if its not done in a day, Im okay to wait because I have longer than a year to live. You should go travel the world before you pass away and decompose into a skeleton in the next 12 months.
i live in Oahu, Hawaii and my ISP likes to route my traffic to their servers on the Big Island before routing to mainland America which adds 15-20ms of latency before hitting mainland. Its infuriating. Then on top of that Spectrum built a monopoly through lobbying in my city so the Fiber company Hawaii Telecom cant install the fastest ping service.
I can be smart and also not live in front of my computer every waking moment. I have a degree in it, but I work more in digital forensics than traditional networking, and Cybersecurity experts arent called agents, they dont all work for the NSA. With digital forensics I know enough to be able to monitor my internet traffic with wireshark and see that my gaming data isnt transparently being used for nefarious purposes and that its being routed as advertised.
@MegatfAfter some thought alternatively since exit lag isn't supported you can just use your PC as the pass through traffic to get a better routing on console using exit lag you can follow the link below as for the setup instructions -to-use-a-vpn-on-ps4-and-ps5.html
