Good combat, Nice graphics and enviroments. But thats about it that is good.The major turn off for me on this game was that You only have 3 equipment slots that displays on your character. Chestpeice, gloves, and boots. Thats about it.. all the rest is runeslots and rings necklace. This was a big turn off for me, because it shows this game dosnt have very much in content at all when it comes to equipment. The game itself dosn't have very much content to be a P2P game. Waste of money. Eveen Diablo 3 has more content in it then this game does, and Diablo 3 is not a MMO. Nice to see people enjoying the game though. The game itself is a work of art.

Diablo 3 will take at max 3 -4 days non stop and it will be over have you played the beta?
The first chapter take not even 1 day to do.

I think this is a very fair and accurate preview.  TERA really isn't my kind of game, but I did like the combat and the visuals.  As also stated in the preview, I'm still interested in seeing how the political game is implemented, and how meaningful it is to the game world.

Overall, I may still pick this game up.  It's a solid themepark game with fun combat, though the questing system really is the standard thing, which is getting really old.  The X factor for me is the political meta-game.

I played it a little bit over the weekend as well.  I made it to 14 and I just couldn't bring myself to log on after day 2.  Sure, it may get more interesting at level 20; but, why would you waste a gamer's time making them grind 20 levels to reach interesting part of the game?  It seems rather unproductive if you ask me.  If they think the game is too complex and that we would need that extra time to figure things out, then perhaps they should implement a better starting area, that isn't plagued by a long series of boring kill/collect quests.  One thing that turned me off was all the buffs, I mean, is this really going to be one of those games that revolves around your character stacking up an insane amount of buffs to be worth a damn?  I sure hope not; but, in anycase, I do enjoy seeing some of the ideas that are thrown into these random asian MMOs; but, they also tend to be unappealing to me personally.

I love Tera  ,  i've been having more fun playing the weekend closed betas, than the whole entire time i played Swtor.

When i playd beta, although dungeon i did were easy, people started to look for Lancer as tank and only ranged dps (as melee take all the boss ae)...

I think the key point here is, that it is just like or lack of this.  They have been on this game for years now and when the grind games where killing so many they stayed with that line of thought. Yes it still to some degree makes for good gaming in Asian markets, but we are seeing big fails everywhere else. I guess we have to hope some day the asians will get tired of kill 10-1000 questing to see major growth from their game devs.

U can skip some zones questwise, but it's really the quests rewards that level you up.

TERA ain't meant to be a grindfest like L2 was and it's also a game that's meant to play in Groups (so much for a good part of the suckers that play it tho and who prefer to struggle alone than group & win). In TERA, u get a group, u quest, u win. U solo, u take 10x the time to do the same stuff, u lose.

For the quests themselves, besides GW2, i don't see any other MMORPG that does em differently, even SWTOR's quests were, in the end, kill stuff 90% of the time.

BAMs are quite awesome as well and they get much much more clever the further you level. Those spiders outside SM were already enough to wipe some groups tho lol.

The only thing that worries me a little bit with TERA is the OW PVP System, this game's an invitation to ganking and zerging, so it'll really be community dependant.

Who havent been in tera beta? its nothing fancy tho.

I played in my first CB this weekend. I only played a Priest and lvl'd to 21 in approximately 15 hours of gameplay. I'm on the fence whether or not I want to buy/play this game. Here's my synopsis:



I found the game easy to lvl, but incredibly "questy". There wasn't anything about the gameplay that was the least bit challenging. Almost all of the areas had the same type of mobs and groups of mini-mobs. The scenery was beautiful and the characters were well defined visually. Drops were nice as I got many green gear items and those green wep/gear crystals. The mount was nice to get around the huge map. Like the GvG system in the open world.



Now for some things that confused me about the game:



A few times I found myself being ganked by teams of 2-4 players that were 10-15 lvl's higher than me. There are only so many places a lowbie can go for lvl appropriate content and it seemed like these higher lvl's that were in red text were camping the spots just to grief lower lvl players. It was so bad at one point that I got frustrated and just logged out of the game. I love PvP and I don't shy away from combat, but when three lvl 30's roam around a lvl 18 instance (the frog one) just to PK, I have to question game mechanics.



The priest really wasn't that much fun to play. I was using the same 3 or 4 skills all the time to dps. I only had one self heal which had a cast time. In some of the PvP encounters that I had, it was not easy to dps and to heal myself with the targeting system. I had no instant heal and no skills to mitigate damage. For a squishy cloth wearing priest, I was surprised at the lack of ranged skills. All of this leads me to believe that the priest is not a class that excels at solo pvp at a low lvl.



I'll play in the next CB and roll another class to see if my game experience changes.

Sheer luck of getting a key?

I have got a key for myself and like 10 of my friends every Beta....

Love how he acts like it was difficult to get one.... LOL!!!!

Getting a GW2 Beta key is a bitch...
