Wait until the anti TERA crusaders get a wiff of the thread. They will explain it to you, how you're not really having fun. 

 Nice words:-)) +10

Played for an hour or so (Lancer) and got bored. Although I was impressed with how good the game looks and runs even on my older hardware, there's really nothing all that great about it. I'm also admittedly a PvE player, and since the game's 'endgame' will primarily consist of PvP (AFAIK) there's really no reason for me to buy it.

I hope everyone who likes it has a wonderful time, and it stays active for a good many years, but I really don't think it's for me.

I don't know why, it's mainly people with GW2 in their signatures who do this, someone makes a thread saying they like the game, alright great, but WHY does someone NEED to post telling them they are wrong and the game is boring. 

 

Like literally in some threads people come in and tell the OP his opinion is WRONG. It gets ridiculous. At least it is not as bad as GW2 fans on youtube though lol, no game is safe from that.

 

Edit: Just noticed a post in another thread earlier that says "Why would anyone be interested in TERA reviews when GW2 is coming out?" Such is the life for any other game that isn't GW2 nowadays, has to deal with these crusaders.

Thats fine but in after 2 months of the game going live and when the inevitable population decline drops because of lack of whatever that plagues the themepark genre dont come here making post after post about how Tera failed or doesnt have enough endgame content, or that Enmasse sucks or any other negative thread about the game.  I get sick and tired of warning every fan of pre-release themepark clone thats come and gone over the last 6 years  only to turn around 2 months after release explaingining why they have left or quit.  Trust me it will happen again with this game but jsut dont say I didnt say I told you so.

 

Its funny I see like 50% of every poster here, was super duper hyper of SWTOR last year.  Post count history, to paraphase the great president John Adams, is a stubburn thing.  Again I get people like different things and some may legitimetly are looking forward to Tera but when I see the same posters who have hyped failed games of the past I get this sense of being in a Bud-Light commercial....Here we go, AGAIN! 

 

***Again disclaimer this is not meant to be a troll post I swear but only what I consider to be a community service*** announcement.

Same thing can be said about Guild Wars 2. Dont complain afther 1 month when people start leaving because they have grown tired of the instanced pvp /  themepark gameplay, lack of content, boring  point and click combat and pay to win cash shop. Nice sig btw, it explains exaclty what we have been talking about.

This is a clear example of how a post should be. I would advise trying a couple more classes and if the game is still not doing it for you then its probaly not for you. I will say that it does start slow and gets better as you level which is one of my cons of the game.

I wont, but I also dislike when people troll the GW2 forums to be spiteful, especially since all indicators point to GW2 being a great game  This isntanced PvP you speak of in GW2 will be nominal at best because the WvW will be where the action is at.  And GW2 offers nothing similar to themepark gameplay like a WOW, SWTOR or Tera  Since the entire world is devoted to cooperative gameplay and exploration.  As stated I have nothing personal against Tera other then it doesnt offer much difference from any other themepark MMO over the last 7 years sans combat.

As for the Sig I made it as a response to a Tera fanboi trolled every positive GW2 post I made.  Again I am like 700 for 700 in discerning the failures of modern themepark MMO's and I will stand by my predictions of anything Asian in the Western market.

You don't like people that troll the GW2 forums (which i can understand) but why is it ok to do it for other games?  It's clear you have no love for tera and yet here you are every day on the tera forums spewing your displeasure of the game...shame on you bro.  You should take your advice and just leave well enough alone.  Or is it that you just cannot stand other people liking something you do not?  or something other than GW2.................

TERA is no better of an MMO then any other past that initial experience.  Same quest and mob grind, same PvP, same end game, etc etc. 

   Unfortunately I have to agree for the most part.  I was playing ME3 and could not believe how much better it was than any mmo, lightyears

Can't compare mmos to single player games, the mmo will lose that comparison every time.

Tera has its good points and bad. I'm still on the fence. I just wish it didn't have a subscription as I would be more inclined to buy it.

The Warrior is a lot of fun. Not a fan of the ranged classes though.

I was a sceptic but I really enjoy the combat mechanics of this game much more than I thought I would.  The rest of the game through level 22 is your standard MMO with some nice graphics but the combat is addictingly fun.

I had a very hard time going back to the standard tab targeting macro key pressing when I logged into the current MMO I am playing tonight to do something with my guild, it was really very hard to adjust back, the combat felt very boring and dull.

Wish they did something different other than the standard questing system....then I would have been truely hooked. 

It's easy to be negative about everything then pat yourself on the back for being right. The down side of being like that is your life sucks...but hey at least you're never fooled right ?

I'll take 2 months of fun and then getting bored over a life time of being right on the forums and never trying anything.

 Actually currently TERAs endgame only consists of PvE in Ktera, they have the Open World Rifts, Dungeons(normal/hardmode), daily/reputations quests and I guess...people can grind BAMs/Worldbosses for gold and crafting mats. The PvE gets a lot better as you level. :P

As far as PvP, the battlegrounds are pretty ignored and currently undergoing revamp and things like GvG and Deathmatches are just for fun.

However PvP servers have factionless OWPvP here in NA, so that may be why you've heard so many people say it's a PvP game, because that in itself is a very good quality IMO as a PvP fan myself.

Thanks for the kind worded post though, it's a welcome change.

Huh, didn't know they had much PvE content. Still, seeing as how I just purchased a 6 month sub to Rift (tried it and loved it), I don't see myself  spending another $60 + sub fees anytime soon. I don't exactly have a lot of disposable income these days.

I figure just because you don't like a game doesn't mean you have to bash it to hell and back. Tera isn't my thing, but I can definitely see what people like about it.

That doesn't mean I haven't done my share of game-bashing though :P

 SIgned.  Some pretty graphics here and there.  Strange hit box, and it's an Asian grinder so what's the point really.  Glad you are enjoying it though - all that matters :)

didnt see this til just now... awesome thank you..

edit:  up to 12 hours played on lancer and still enjoying myself.  it takes a while to get used to having to go between UI modee and mouselook mode, it reminded me of a shooter a la crysis instead of an mmo (though other MMOs like darkfall have this) but they became second nature pretty quick.  I found the game's combat gets better as you gather a few combo pieces and can start rocking some chains of skills.

still not 100% sure but leaning towards preordering it.

I almost never need to go in to mouse mode, when you open up your inv or your status window your mouse auto appears and disappear when you move. Only time i need to get mouse out is to like trade or inspect people.

I spent this weekend playing Tera and im impressed, the quest is the same old solo questing(boreing as hell). But the combat was fun and i cant say i got tired of it at all.

I feard the skill rooting but ingame it felt natural, warrior and slayer never stod in one place when the skill was fired so that was a non issue just something that takes longer to master witch aint a bad thing.

The bam hunting helps people like me that are bored of the solo questing i love games that have outside group areas that fit 2-full party. This is a design western devs seriously lacks and its a shame becouse some of us prefer this over solo questing. I want to solo quest sometimes but its important to have options.

The limited pvp i have done have been a blast and i have lost way more then i won. I need friends :)

This is only a weekend test and im not to hard to impress on such short gametime, so we will see where it leads in the future

Me too!  Like way more than I thought I would..  Problem now is I don't want to overplay the damn beta.  I guess i'll just try classes I don't plan on playing.

Man though, the PvP even just dueling early is unbelievable.  Really, truly, some real skill involved.  Twitchy skill that just felt right.  What I would give to have this combat system in Darkfall.  Aventurine needs to look at this game to figure out how to make some engrossing twitch combat in an mmo.

    The only bad thing about a good single player game is that it eventually ends where as a good MMO although not up to single game standards goes on forever

  I'm enjoying the beta, very much actually.  However it's not going to be a game I 'invest' in (at least at this time) as I'm already 'invested' in multiple other games.

  I really don't have anything bad to say about it.

I can not see myself playing this game long term. No character customization regarding skills/abilities. Glyphs are a joke for customization. World much too linear for my liking while I understand that I did not get to play fully through the game, I do not see this changing much going into higher levels.

Also, I could reach lvl 30+ in ~24 hours of gaming is not a good sign either, at least to me.
