TERA has it's gameplay down but saying it's more polished than the other games is just you being all loved up with the game.

Actual gameplay itself?  Definitely...no rose tinted glasses here.  I mean it is the unreal 3 engine after all.

Theres a lot of other minor things that lack polish but its not the gameplay itself.

If someone can compare Tera with Street fighter, Monster hunter, Dark Soul, then I can compare it with whatever I want.

Street fighter is a skilled based fighter game that has root animation (like Tera), Monster hunter and dark soul and demon soul are one of the best action combat and hardest action combat games out there and they have root animation like (Tera). Your example COD was a FPS.... idk how closely related FPS is with action combat rpg....

Yeah...an 8 year old engine. Like the rest of the game, offers nothing new or innovative...not even the little girls running around in short skirts.

BTW, gameplay...is also story, which is horrible. Crafting which is generic. Depth which is lacking. Quests which are ordinary run of the mill.

So all the game has...is combat...which isnt new.

Rose....tinted....glasses.

If a games progression comes down to my example below...the game is BAD no matter what its combat is like.

"Oh no, those terabibledibles are gowing in too much size, if we dont remove some of them their etheral force will consume the land causing the terabibledibles to be too numerous to others and cause great harm to the serenity of our spirit"

Well gosh I better go...wait...wut? oh well, ill get some XP if I go do it...at least I have a super smash dodge button with action combat! terabibledibles here I come, must protect my serenity of spirit or whatever the hell he said...

Not to interject but I just wondered if you realize how impotent your posts sound? It's like watching a baby throw a fit over another kid getting a baba. The funniest thing is that you're here to troll, but no one is getting madder than you. Grow up.

^ This... is true

I don't care how many MMO's come out from here to infinity, they will continue to mimic or copy each other to some extent. IF you find yourself boring of the "Run of the mill" stuff... perhaps single player games will better suit you. 

To further my point:

Questing:

Fetch Quests - Done before

Story Quests - FFXI and countless others... DONE BEFORE

Public Quests - Done before

Quests that adversly effect the world around you - WoW did this with phasing.

Combat:

Tab Target - this horse is completely dead and rotted away to dust and peopel are still beating it with sticks

Turn Based - Atlantica Online

Action Combat - The game who's forum you're currently posting in, there was also a good F2P title out there.... meh

Combo system - Aion/ that game that died before it even came out that had the wheel that constantly shifted

Story:

Good vs. Evil - done 1000000000000000000 times, even outside of MMO's

I want yur stuff - Done before

WAR! - Done before "World of Tanks?"

I digress, my point is, guy who's complaining that everything is run of the mill; is that MMO's will constantly repeat each other becaue this is a business, and a steadily growing one.. Dev's do this to make money now, what sells will be whats made. Even your innovative thinkers, still have profit on there minds, if they fail to produce the cash they go belly up and they're stuck in there mom's basements eating angst sandwhiches.

So, try to calm down, K cupcake?

I think one of the primary reasons for all of these temper tantrum posts such as the one you're replying to, is the seemingly huge overlap between a soon to be released MMO's community, and League of Legends (a game full of self-aggrandizing fans who have somehow managed to delude themselves into thinking a sidegame built from an RTS for people who weren't good at the actual RTS is somehow more skillful than the more complex game that it was derived from, and then basing their entire self worth on the imagined difficulty of their game).

lmao... you know what... you're probably right...

Every time I logged into Tera I had this feeling like i was playing on a Private hacked server.  I can't tell you how many world bosses i've killed with groups of random people only to see not a SINGLE drop.  Not even gold or a tooth to sell for 1 copper... 

It's as if they pulled together a private server and haven't finished the loot tables yet.  I worked with a group of 5 players to kill a world boss 60 world boss for a quest and we got not a single drop, no grey vend trash, no equipment, no money.  And the quest rewarded us with 100k exp.  For those who don't know, standard level 56 range quests reward over 1,000,000 exp on average.

So yeah, game feels like private 2nd rate server.  I'm pretty sure the only updates you'll ever see are 2nd hand attempts at converting the Korean version to Western.  Things will get missed, bugs WE westerners find won't get fixed as the language barrier pretty much screws that up.

The graphics are great, the gameplay is great, the boss fights are awesome...

The classes are pretty dull sadly...

I've moved on, Diablo 3 in 6 hours will keep me busy for a few days I expect... Maybe more if i'm lucky!

Someone in the group was too big for the creature to drop fancy loot then. The game has a system built in to prevent power leveling and farming old dungeons for gear to saturate the AH. It uses this because it also has very few Bind on Pickup items, making it posslbe to pass items to other people in your guild if you end up with them from a run and don't need it (or selling it).

Quoted for truth.

Make sure your aware that high level players will nerf your drops to zero.  If you did a BAM quest no big deal you got all the reward you need from that imo.

For the bams i killed in group with equal levels, the gear wasnt as good as dungeon gear, and blues are not guranteed.

I like to do them for the fun tbh...yeah i know its something all but dead with todays gamers.  I did it for no reward and just for entertainment...imagine that.

And that i believe is the real reason you should play any game, for entertainment, TERA entertains me, therfor it gets my money when it stops doing that, Then i will leave, however i will not come onto these boards and explain why i chose to leave, fankly i don't owe you guys an explanation... so until that time, I'll see you in TERA!
