MMORPG.com's Garrett Fuller recently had the chance to sit down with TERA Production Associate Scott James Magner to talk about the game and to score a few answers to questions that have cropped up since PAX a few weeks ago. The two covered topics ranging from PvP to the action-combat system to what's in store for developers this fall. You won't want to miss this one so read on!

TERA has continued to deliver in game demos at shows. How close are these demos to the full game play experience?

Let’s start by saying that the demos are in fact actual gameplay. All of the graphics, and the history and lore elements provided by the demonstrators, are taken straight from the game. But the demo only scratches the surface of the full TERA experience.

TERA gameplay starts at character creation, and in our opinion never really ends. There’s as much to do at level 60 as in all the levels leading up to it, and that’s just on release day. We’ll keep providing a complete and dynamic game experience for as long as our customers choose to share their time with us.

My feelings for this game are mixed...I don't want to play the "same type of  mmo" but at the same time I am intrigued.

*yawn* New interview, same boring crap. Would be nice is En Masse would release some interesting news.

 Rofl, this game is NOT the same type of MMO. It's not only the combat, it does have some unique features like the political system etc.

Didnt see any REAL information, only vague answers...  :(

Kinda vague. But I'm interested...

oh wow! another korean grinder! i can't wait! 

Looks good, sounds good. Will see how it plays out.

Anything with swords/shields and magic is "the same type off MMO". Just because it has some new graphics (3D engine) and a political system doesn't mean it's a brand-new MMO with nothing the same.

I am not hating the game I am just saying that I have seen nothing so far that has done nothing more than intrigue me. I haven't seen anything that made my eyes widen and grab my credit card in anticipation.

At least I get a laugh every time I see this game.  That ridulous picture of the tank with the lance is epic. 

I have yet to see a Korean game that is not a major grinder.  They might surprise, but I have great doubts.

 Nice to see there is a optimist. Im using this term loosly but none the less.

You know I would really like to see something that has never been done before....no?...nothing?

Are you telling me that it is not possible to create something entirely new and fresh? Well I might as well go back to WoW, god knows its perfect and is completely original. Like you know, how it didnt get inspiration from EQ or Ultima online and surely spwaned from Gods feces.

Well that was a nice rant.

Same here.

2011 requires a lot of time and a lot of money to play all upcoming mmos and from what we all know time and money are 2 things that are opposite.Except of course if you u are a rich boy and you dont have to work.

This is pretty much how I feel, too.  I've been following this game for a while and the lack of any new information makes it difficult to stay interested.

I don't understand why some are over-hyped about a game when the only thing they have to offer in defense of this game is a stupid Political system? It's nothing more than interesting... you can't tell me that this one system is the make or break for this game. If all I wanted from a MMO was a Political system, I would go back to an RTS like Total War or Civilization...

My only beef with this game is with all the publicity this game has put out, all I know about it, is that it has a Political system and a 3D engine.....oooooo.... soo amazing.

*end rant* (it's late and I'm bored)

Played the game back at Comic con San Diego

Graphics = top notch, but he was using alienware or some sort of high end pc.

Combat = awesome style, a lot of dodging, moving around positioning yourself for better attacks and timing especially for the berserker. The monsters don't have 1 generic attack, so you really gotta dodge and strategize.

Quest = sadly what I experienced was bland since it had the huge exclamation point on the npc's head with the matching kill 10 rats and come back and I have a question mark instead. 

And one question that we asked the people that was around tera was about the combat. Since you move around and you can hit different parts of the monsters, is there a significance in hitting a certain part? Like a weak spot per se?  He answered " Thats a great question we will look into it in the future"

And again before some fan boy flame me, this is what I experienced during Comicon at San Diego and this is only my opinion. The game is still being molded and polished as we speak and I do hope they do change the generic questing, other than that its a good game.

 It's not only the political system boy. It has amazing graphics, it has a good, fast paces, tight combat system, it has fully player build towns, it has dynamic events after lvl 30 and other thigns that we probably don't know. Next time do your homework before spitting bs.
