are you going to keep posting the same thing? you could simply search for the answer? there was no pvp other than duels and deathmatches in any previous beta test..(I think she even stated this not only in the video but in this thread) or you could ask someone that played the KR TERA, as they would know far far more than a pocket.

Nice work pokket.  Great review.  It really show us how the game plays especially compared to the other mmos.  Keep it up.  Thanks!

Saying that mainstream MMOs don't require any thought process and are only about spamming keys and watching cooldowns is far from the truth. Yes, in most MMOs you can get to a decent level without understanding your class, but if you get into any kind of raiding or competitive PvP (I don't mean ganking lowbies in leveling zones) you won't get very far by playing that way. Ressources and cooldowns management are a big part of end game PvE and PvP in any game. And above that, there is teamwork. Nothing there is exclusive to Tera. 

The combat is different when comparing it with mainstream games, but the game mechanics are all the same.

I think we're already seeing a good example of unsavory community.

I think its because Pokket put the video in fast motion, so theyre normal breathing looking like heaving

I watched 90 seconds of that video and thought, "IT'S THE SAME...DAMN...CRAP!"

Zero interest.

I have a few awesome ideas.

Make your own videos and/or don't watch.

Most importantly though, lets use the Enter key more between sentences. Minimum of 10 times... wtf?

 

As for the game. It looks more like a MMOAG, mmo action game. I forsee people running around in circles and jumping all over the place in battle, like a bunch of idiots. Huge immersion breaker. Very unrealistic. Graphics engine looks like it is good but the art is terrible. Certainly geared towards undersexed teens. With that in mind I can only imagine how putrid the community is going to end up being.

 

LOL, so what combat mechanic is very realistic?  The MMORPGs you claim that have cooldown and ability queues?  Let's per say...WoW or SWTOR?

I would love to see how realistic that turns out to be in real life. 

In fact, why don't you demonstrate for us this, "very realistic" gameplay by recording yourself in real life in ability queue for 3 seconds to throw a grenade, meanwhile an enemy is shooting at you from 10 feet away with an AK47. 

Then I'll believe just how "very realistic" that combat mechanic is, that is, if you managed to survive 30-40 bullets.  LMFAO!

Funny how so many people come into new MMORPGs and always expect Raid content at level cap. Games like TERA and Guild Wars 2 will have a hard time converting such people, to their own forms of Endgame.

This game went from 65 servers to like 16 in Korea for a reason. Show me a game that succeeds in the themepark model without and I will back off.

If a game is still running it succeeded. There is no magical # that makes a game a fail or win based on the amount of servers it has. If it has enough to sustain developement then its a winner (even if you think the gameplay is a loser).

I might give it a shot , who knows.  I'm always up to playing something different than the norm.

Already Preorder the game and hope that it will be worth playing past the Betas and staying with this game for awhile, however the moment they might choose to add a cash shop, and charge extra insane amount of money I will UnSubsubscribe.

The game I do have to say looks better than SWTOR in all ways, I like Star Wars, but I feel that Tera has way better graphics detail than SWTOR, and based on this video there are improvements that can be made, such as allowing your character to look behind and such.

Also the Copy/Paste Bosses, that is one bad thing I find about this game why would you Copy/Paste the same Boss Skin/Mesh/Model to another location in a game editor, and then Click it and adjust its HP and stats a bit higher level and yet it is the same exact boss, this is the exact same thing they did in Fallen Earth which is a MMO released way before Tera, I feel that the bosses need to be reskined and created to look more beastful looking or something depending on the level of boss you are fighting and such.

Maybe they will make more changes to the game to improve it before release I have no idea but I have finally got the full beta client patched and waiting to check it out, as for the game beign like vindictus I don't know do you actually have to click to sling your weapons, and such that is soemthign I wait to find out about.

Btw, about Tera, I am still not sure what is going on between NCsoft and Tera, I have heard so many rumors from my friend about the whole mess, but you know if the Developers of Tera do not get on the ball, and improve all the functions players want, NCsoft could still always try to release Lineage 3, or if they win a legal battle they could get TERA handed to them, and mess up the game for everyone, not exactly something I want to think about although I am in support of Tera simply because of the bad support NCsoft has given me after being a subscriber to Lineage 2 for years and no support after having my account ripped off when they could have recovered my items and got the person who did it. I just hope that the rumors I hear are not fully true about what some say, other than what I have read in the civil dispute posted online many places about Tera.

Over All, I still think Tera will be more fun than SWTOR has been on launch even if it does lack some things.

As for Pokket, certainly would not enjoy grouping with her, she does not seem to be a very good player, although the game is new to her.

Like the wise men say ..."look as cute and adorable as you can, it wont make you a good player"

i think Pokket has been a bit over hyped by horny fat nerds who have nothing better to do than watch chicks stream MMo's

Aw come on guys, no need to attack her personally.  She is here doing her job, and she just so happens to be good looking, no harm in that.

As it comes, every game has it's various players.  Players always vary in skill, race, sex, sexual orientation, what they define as fun, what they are in the mmo for, and so on.

So when you encounter people that perhaps are new or lack skill, regardless of anything, how about you help em out and help make the game a more positive place to be instead of being detrimental to the game's community. (sorry about the mini-rant but people who put others down based on their skill severly annoy me.)

So cut her some slack, she is doing her job and giving the site the videos.

----

On the other hand, Tera looks interesting, but I am not sure if it will be the game for me.  If you can level so quickly and not have much to do at the end, I duno..but we will see!

Look pal, its this simple......We want reviewers who,   and get this, this is reallllly off the charts,   KNOW HOW TO REVIEW GAMES.

 

Wow, what a thought!   It has nothing to do with her 'personally'...This is business...And the problem with her is she doesnt know her business.

 

Its not our job to 'help' her in her job, regardless of what you think...

 

 

WE WANT SKILLED REVIEWERS WHO ANSWER/COMMENT ON IN GAME MECHANICS.

 

Not ones who attain their jobs based on their looks alone.

 

The review speaks for itself. Its bad and doesnt cover several topics of interest.

 

Cmon MMORPG get her out of here and get someone competent.

Shes a horrible reviewer and this ' lolreview' is a prime example.

SHE MISSED SEVERAL CRUCIAL GAMEPLAY MECHANICS, DIDNT EVEN SO MUCH AS MENTION THEM. GLOSSED RIGHT OVER THEM. AND SHE ALSO SPEAKS LIKE A TEENAGER,  LIKE, BASICALLY, DEFINATELY YA KNOW?

cmon MMORPG get us reviewers who EARN THEIR JOBS BASED ON THEIR MERITS, NOT BECAUSE THEY HAPPEN TO LOOK OK WITH WARPAINT ON.

lets have some creditability on this site.....HORRIBLE REVIEW

In the Pokket .... erm, pocket.

I disagree.

I got a clear idea of what the game is about and how it plays from ths review. Granted, it could be more in-depth, but it was never presented as an "in-depth" review of the game. It was clearly presented as a first-impression Beta review done in a short time frame format.

Pokket speaks in a way that is natural for her, and that is something I very much appreciate. She is easy to understand, doesn't slur her words or drop vocalizations to the point they are hard to hear. She doesn't drone or gush.

I really think the problem here is the watcher, not the review.

;)

Tera has been out for a year though in Korea. Saying it's okay for that game to be out for a year and have no raids is like saying it would be okay if SWTOR launched with no raids, and had no raids for a full year.

 

 GW2 doesn't plan on implementing raids, so is that a problem? Doesn't seem like it for most people. Not to mention TERA does have raid like events now, you have monster invasions(rifts) that will open up and it will take twenty people to close the rifts, closing them earns you tokens you can use to buy cosmetics/armor.

Exactly. TERA and GW2 are being designed without the intention of having Traditional Raids and are focusing elsewhere. They both seem to be focusing on creating the most challenging, fun and varied 5-man Instances as their own form of PvE endgame. I say let them. We have enough Raiding MMORPGs as it is.

 

In the little research I've done I've seen qoutes of En Masse stating they are "looking in" to add larger then 5 man instances after launch. My understanding was this is something they are adding to the us release. If anyone has a recent qoute from En Masse stating this not to be true i'd love to see it.

@Teraversity: "Due to the delay in launch, should raid content (with more than 5 players) make its way in to TERA by then?"



Yes content involving more than 5 players is one area we are looking at before launch but nothing more to say at this time.

for reference

http://nichannel.blogspot.com/2011/08/tera-en-masse-questionreponse-avec-les.html

Now i've seen on their forums that they plan to make this content 10 man, now numbers to what some consider a 'real raid' are subjective but this is something they are planning to add.
