like aion it's worth playing if F2P or B2P but its just not worth $15 a month if i wasnt in college i could alwys play lots and farm in game currency and buy the time scrolls but i dont have that kind of time now do i want to have to grind gear on the infinitly expanding gear tredmill also if tera combat didnt root you in place with animation locks i would enjoy it more |

It really wont be. While the combat is awesome, the best we have seen in recent years, but the rest of the game is the same ol' tired linear themepark. Hyping it to be more than that is stupid. |

Originally posted by Castran Well when people can actually play TSW maybe they'll start talking about it because as of right now not many people seem to care. Which IMO is unfortunate being a fan of skill based progression. Barring BHS/EME spending the next six months revolutionizing TERA I think it will be middle of the road sub wise. I just hope EME is happy with it and continues being the greatest example of a publisher to date past launch. In a B2P/F2P world having a solid long term sub base is a great environment for an MMO to grow over time. I imagine TERA having an EVE Online type of cult following. I do foresee a rise and leveling of subs around the three month mark of GW2's release. Those that find they like the "old school" MMO will find TERA enticing and then some will bolt when the next new thing is about to come out. Even if it only reaches 250k subs, my only wish for TERA is that it continues to improve without watering it down for a quick buck. Just not worth my time anymore. |

I really enjoyed Tera when I played the first few CBTs to max level but I live in Australia and the way the combat works with latency is just too much of a disadvantage. The difference between 50ms and 400ms is 100%, that's twice the attack speed, so me sitting at 250ms will be ate huge disadvantage even for PvE so it's just not worth it. I don't believe it will be a flop, I would imagine that it would retain enough subs to be successful and continue on.

Originally posted by karmath Do you have any experience to base this statement off of? The reason I ask is that those that have played the current KTERA version don't all share that sentiment but maybe you have also played all the way through? I won't argue that the early game is a linear themepark and I don't like it. However I keep being told by those that have played to endgame that it opens up. Plus there is a lot of group content, both overworld and dungeon based, which has been sorely needed in themepark genre as of late.
Just not worth my time anymore. |

Past lvl 22 it gets less linear. you have several places to lvl at all times form that point on. Most never got that far in betas but believe me theres plenty to do later on :) Though still. I will admit. They really didnt even need quests in this game. Should have just kept it as a monster hunter game and got rid of a lot of the rpg questing element. Focus on whats great. :) Hero Evermore |

2012 is a great year for mmorpg market, so it is for us gamers. Even i suspect i will not stay long in any of them (still pessimist), we have TERA, GW2 and TSW so more power to us for the diversity. And the end of 2011 wasnt bad either with lunch of SWTOR where alot of players still have fun playing (i never play SWTOR and not thinking playin, its just not my style). About the 3 games i mentioned for now i only care about TERA, why? Because it has a release date and is just right next month. The others 2 i dont know yet and dont care untill close to release date. I hope to have fun in all of them, even if it is only 1 or 2 months (still have my tottaly free Linage 2 if all fail in long term for me) |

Originally posted by deziwright I just don't do quests other than the main one hehe. EME was brilliant in increasing mob xp IMO. With the combat system the way it is you can just go hunt if you're not high enough to reach the next step in the main story. I'll probably add guild rep, BAM repeatables and dungeon quests but we'll see. There is just too much group content to waste xp on boring side quests. It actually makes 1-20 not seem so linear. Just not worth my time anymore. |

Originally posted by Deron_Barak There was a time when I thought it could be a sleeper hit but after trying CBT 3 I doubt that.I would say at best it would turn to F2P in a year and a half.Questing is boring as hell and people wont shell $60 to level to max to then enjoy the game.We are in 2012 the animations and combat are what really shines in this game,the political system is just a fantasy right now because no one has experienced it yet besides that everything feels 10 years too late.

I see alot of ..."It gets better later on"...i've never seen that. if an mmo doesnt capture your attention and start off fun, then thats the way it is. If anything, a developer should try to make it just the opposite to draw more people in, then work more on end game content. The only thing that gets better later on is licking your way to the center of a tootsie roll pop. |

Originally posted by burdock2 I foresee the same route as SWTOR for this game, some people will like it but most will move on. Awesome combat system, great graphics but not much else to differentiate from the rest. Best MMO experiences : EQ(PvE), DAoC(PvP), WoW(total package) |

Originally posted by Ngeldu5t some people, including myself prefer a game, that captures the old school flavor, with great graphics. that don't pretend to be something that isen't, that don't boost your expectations to heavens, and later turn into a huge dissapoinment. Tera is not a game for everyone. if you want something new, i really suggest you to try Swtor. GW2 does not offer anything new at all. at least not to me. in fact, the mega exciting dynamic events, have been done in other MMO before. i don't want a MMO that can magically teleport me into the year 40000,(well that would be neat!p). i want toplay a MMO that provide me with constant entertainment. that don't force me to buy crappy vanity items every week or so, that can have a good costumer support. that has a good and healthy community. that provides me, with a virtual world i can explore. that gives me a variety of things to do, once i get to max level. so only time will tell, wether Tera will manage to deliver that or not. the sameway is absurd to talk about all the wonders of GW2 and every other upcoming MMO that are not even in beta yet. untill the game don't get released, 1 or 2 month after. we can only make assumptions, or speculate, mostly based on wishful thinking.
