No threads about Tera? Interesting...

I havent been on these forums in ages. I was expecting to see quite a few Tera threads.

Beta is live (in parts).

Nope, and probably won't be. Going to wait for reviews on this, and than make up my mind.

For the 1st time ever.

A massive flop in Korea where it was targetted during design.

Is not unique, there is plenty of these styles of Asian MMO's that simply dont transfer well to here. The animation looks incredible, the worlds look great, but thats that typical over the top animation and art design that just doesnt do well here in Europe,

Plus you cant target mobs..wtf?

Dont think it will do well : /

It should be applauded for trying to do things differently imo. The last thing we need is another Warcraft clone in a different skin. The combat looks really interesting, and is the main reason i'm interested in it. Granted, graphically it looks excellent, but that's not as important as combat for me.

It'll probably keep me entertained until GW2 anyway.

I think thats the game's main selling point that makes it stand out from the rest of the wow/eq-clones. But maybe thats where it ends. In the end its not the combat that makes us play MMOs its progressing and creating our characters etc

As far as I know, it has been reworked a fair bit for the "western world".

It still looks fairly Asian to me but I'm interested in how the politics will work out etc.

The "flop" in Korea was apparently because the game was too easy of a grind.
Over there, the bigger the grind is, the bigger the achievement it is to be on the list of people who have completed it.
Everyone was on the list for Tera so nobody felt special I guess


And I'm not sure how much autoaim there is in this but I have heard you must aim in order to aim most stuff, especially in PvP.


But yeah, its probably gonna tie some people over untill GW2.

it was supposed to released here and the states last year, but they've made a lot more changes to it for us westerners.

I was excited about this, but just lost interest because it's taken so long. Apparently its an early may release. Tbh i will probably end up buying it if diablo3 still hasnt been released by then. But i probably wont sub it :/

I thought the reason why Tera was being released 12 months later in the west was, so they could make it more suited for western gamers.
