Great to see you like TERA. See you in game my friend. 

TERA will be just for a niche group of players, dont expect anything more. It will take some people from AION and L2, and thats all. Just wait to see how many servers they´ll have at launch to see that.

why are you so threatened by this game psymike?

Im not, thats just my opinion for Tera thats all... Fanboys are threatened by the "anti-tera" posts because they know even if they dont admit it, that this will probably end-up like Aion or SWTOR... 

i just wish companies to create new MMOs with fresh ideas(probably Archeage will be 1 of them thank god).

That's the first time the quest system was ever used as a pro, rather than a con.

But oh well, this game is for Anime lovers. Nothing more. Once you get passed the "new" combat, you'll quickly see it's like any other game out there at the moment. Which is fine, I guess. I'm personally tired of it, though.

So everybody thats saying that they like game are from Lineage 2 and Aion? 

Alot of ppl are just looking for a home and most games are failing hard... Rift is complete trash..SWTOR is boring as all hell and lacks open world.. Tera looks alright.. i havnt played it yet though people have been saying that its not really open world either u run into invis walls/cant fall off ledges..blah blah honestly i think alot of ppl are just gunna wait to see what GW2 has to bring to the table.. till then its gunna be a boring ride.. atleast it has been for me guess i could redownloaded AoC and see the changes..

Rift isnt complete trash...

it maybe a clone but its stable as hell, with awsome graphics and gameplay, awsome customer support.

It just not have anything new to add to the MMO genre and it get boring after few months.

This game has potential to be huge hit.

• It turns boring MMO combat upside down.
• It has actual seamless huge open world.
• It has probably best graphic in MMOs to date - in some areas even better than GW2.
• It follows traditional MMO quest system reminiscent of EQ1
• It has ruthless PVP with political system

 

But ... I have feeling its going to be simply slashed by GW2

 

I for example really love it. But I am not even considering buyin it.

 

I mean why to buy the game and pay sub. If GW2 is offering pretty much the same for price of the box.

 

Real wrong timing for this game....

 

 

What do you think ?

 

 

I just cannot get over the monster anime art style weapons. I know its a minor hangup, but they really ruin the whole thing for me.

Quest system works when gameplay is GOOD.

This is the number one thing Bioware failed to understand.

Now some people - not me. Actually enjoy traditional quest system.  And its maybe a good thing for them.

In any way. If you would have feature that is +1 and other that is -1 : than quest system in TERA is 0

Ur right rift isnt complete trash.. like you said its just nothing new.. also the chars look stupid the game gets real boring real quick...now i only played a warrior and a mage but both classes just felt like garbage..i also played when everything was getting the NERF stick of doom so maybe its changed since then but i doubt it.. honeslty warhammer was more fun to play lol.. anyway!! im signed up for Tera beta hopefully i get to try it out and see some of the pvp..

Old School UO.

does gameplay get that much better post 20? for me upto 18 i was getting pretty bored killing the same 10 mobs to complete my quest over and over. While non-tab target is fine i feel its only a step up if the actual abilities are fun and interact well with the enemies. Watch some videos of blade & souls combat to get a idea of what I'm talking about. So far I have tried every class at least through the starter island and can't see why people are getting to jazzed up about the combat in this game. Yes you can dodge but the attacks follow static set paths you don't really have much control after hitting an ability. It's not like any true action game i have played like devil may cry or even Vindictus combat for that matter. To me the lack of grapples, air combos, ect really takes you out of the feeling this is a real action game. To me it just feels like a dumbed down monster hunter combat in a very beautiful setting.  Maybe it gets a ton better past 20 i dunno but those were my experiences upto 18.

On a side note the graphics are great no complaints there. But I can see it turning a lot of people off since many here in the USA/EU don't care for the anime style which I love.

As for the quests themselves it pretty much the exact same as Aion just a bunch of random crap no one cares about with a couple interesting ones thrown in.

One thing from my experience so far I was letdown about is one of the main things I was let down in SWTOR lack of the dynamic world settings. It's basically the same with set mobs placed all around. Although at least in this game they wonder around unlike swtor. But at least Rift started this a little with invasions and making the zones feel more alive. Looks like GW2 is stepping this up again and to me a true dynamic world with things going on all over with or without you is really the next step up for MMO's

Clever, so uptill now questing system sucked for you because it was generic WOW clone feature and now suddenly quest system works if gameplay is good. Nicely played. Bravo.

I've read a couple of psymike3d posts and all I can say is please learn when to use the word are. Is and are, are seperate words for a reason. Your agruements fall short when you talk like a child. At first I thought it might be a language barrier, but like any 14 year old you showed me your mastery of poor english grammar, that is only synonomous with our shithole of a country. My friends girlfriend talks like you, but she has fake tit's so she's supposed to be a moron. Before you go hating on a game you have not played and claiming GW2 is the greatest thing ever don't you think you should try the game you're bashing? And because you have not played GW2 how do you know it will be so amazing? Tons of mmo's to date have claimed one thing and delivered a complete opposite. If you're such the gaming matriarch that you claim to be shouldn't you know this fact?

i definitely understand a lot of what is being said here. I won't deny that I am very much looking forward to play GW2 and have have it be my main MMORPG. However TERA has been a game that has been on my radar for some time now and I was looking forward to getting it, however with the recent ramping up of GW2 marketing (press beta & public beta), I just can't see myself getting TERA any time soon, as GW2 may in fact release not so far from TERA.

It really is a case of poor timing, as promising games like TERA and TSW will have to find some way to justify their sub-fees, against GW2. For people like me, who are looking for, value for money.

You know, all this talk about GW2 in non GW2 section of the forums is starting to become a huge turn off. Makes you wonder if GW2 is set to be the next WoW, in terms of mainstream, and thus of the attitude that we've seen over the years all too often.

I'm sick of it too and it's made me less enthusiastic about the game. I've been avoiding certain websites just because of it. It'll come when it'll come and I'll give it a try when it's available (beta or launch) but before that I'm not going to praise something without personally having had hands-on time with it.

One of the biggest reason for this is that GW2 doesn't have official forums. So it is hard to contain these people. It is not just mmorpg.com but they are everywhere..youtube, facebook, any other gaming site you go..GW2 fans are just pissing on every other MMO. The backlash is going to be huge when game releases. You reap what you sow.

X-actly

I dont know. There is problem with launching games F2P. And if its not built ground up for B2P its also problem.

But maybe reduced sub price would do the trick? I dont know...
