Originally posted by Odinthedark1 When I hear something like that about an mmo, it raises a caution light for me now. I heard it the last few failed and soon to be failed mmos I played for my 30 days after purchase. I think a game should be fun from 1- whatever level it goes up to. I should be engulfed in the game from level 1, it shouldn't take me 19 levels or even to highest level to start having fun. I am however looking for something that isn't the norm for mmo's these days, eg. WoW and WoW clones with mindless questing, raiding gear grind, endless dailes that make me feel like I have a second job when logging in.

I told everyone I had played this game before I even got a chance to test it, and I have.. its very similar to the Phantasy Star series, except in a more open world setting, and some updated graphics, but the gameplay is almost exactly the same.
I think its alright for what it is... but I won't be spending my time there.. at least not anytime soon. |

Originally posted by Tayah i had fun the moment i started playing, and ive played similar styled games and enjoyed them as well but they were usually console games like the person stated Phantasy Star, but in an mmo setting ( Which is awesome imo). its just some people see the kill quests and immediately leave the game. but back to the topic at hand it was fun for me at level 1 yes, but it really blasted off at level 20. i can see how it could get boring at level 1 if you've played it alot cause you start it with 1 skill and usually are using normal attacks, but it doesnt takelong to get more skills. |

My main issue with any of these mmos is that it shouldn't take til lvl 20 to be fun. Everyone says oh wait til XX level! Then it gets good! If a game dpesn't try and grab you from the beginning I have no interest in wasting my time on it. |

Here's a mystery. I was entertained by WoW for 2 years, entertained by Rift for 2 months, entertained by SWTOR for 3 months. Tera made me bored after 45 mins.... |

Yea idk, like i said everyone is entitled to their opinion. i think just because a good book has a bad beginning doesnt mean i cant tough it out. one of them books being Hunger Games which i read like a year and a half ago, one of many examples, but anyway my point being that some games just cant grab you right off the bat they have to kinda set the mood and introduce you. Figuratively speaking. But the OP gets me fired up, he even admits to not making it past lvl 5 -_- its like calling a good book bad from simply reading the first page. *Facepalm* You just limit yourself so much by not having the mental strength to toughen up past the beginning, and if you cant handle leveling then by all means from what ive heard gw2 is gonna be easy as hell to hit max and have legit gear. |

I like this game and I love the combat system, BUT i agree that you shouldn't wait lvl 20. Does it get better at lvl 20? yes a lot. Will this change your mind about it? I doubt it. I liked it since lvl 1, even if the starting island is a bit boring, then started to improve.
The thing I don't agree is all the root complaints. I really don't understand since when action = bunny hoping, but maybe cause I always hate it and found it really stupid, and I'm really happy is not possible to do in this game. I understand not everyone will like the root system, but TERA is a game (from wikipedia : Key components of games are goals, rules, challenge, and interaction) and rooting the players is one of its rules, as such if you don't like it you shouldn't play the game. Simple as that. |

Originally posted by Daggerjaydo This is why I didn't like it too much. Played quite a bit, various classes, and I liked some of it, the skills, dodges, jump backs, but moving around and trying to do a skill, or combos of skills, bleh. It just wasn't fluid for me. That isn't necessarily a bad thing, but on an action oriented game, it is a deal breaker for me. I did like the fact I could basically skip all the quests and just kill mobs and level. Did do some of the main quest, but I was really relieved that I could bypass the dreaded menial task (quest) grind. Too bad I don't like the combat, could have probably played it for a while. |

Exactly why does an mmo have to be "the next big thing" in order to enjoy playing? It doesn't. The OP is of course entitled to his own opinion. Even if his reasons are flawed and baseless by definition alone. I look forward to seeing how Tera developes, personally. Because unlike a lot of gamers on these forums, myself and others know that the more the gaming industry grows, the better for gamers in the big picture. There is no law that says a gamer can like more than one mmo at a time. I say that because I see no reason for these threads created just to bash one title in order to promote another. |
