knowing that this game was just a quick cash-grab, i subbed for a month when it came out to give it the benefit of the doubt. I gave it a good week before i came to the conclusion that it was a shallow horrible mess of a game. its like the devs focused all their efforts on combat and graphics and ran out of money to do the rest.

Originally posted by Ocenica To be honest (and I'm neutral on TERA) when the community manager and a network engineer are two people who are known affected.. it's not a "normal" staff cut. You don't let the face of your company to the community go at the same time you let off the "normal" offload of after release cut backs.
I'm sad for the people who lost their jobs and I hope the game recovers. Despite what those who don't like the game say.. the genre needs innovation and flavor if it's going to stay alive. TERA is one of those few that try to do something different (whether you agree that they succeeded or not is a different discussion).
I wish they find jobs soon. Sane people don't work in the gaming industry.. it takes a passion for long hours and believing in what you're doing. Always sad to see someone's job lost who you know had so much dedication. |

Originally posted by lustbust Dont know if you taking a shot at me or not but im all for longer lvling curve. I was refering to the "It takes me a whole day to just get one lvl and im in the mid 30s" comment. I want it to take longer to lvl. these current MMOs people shot to max lvl in a week or so and then they have nothing to do so there off to the next "mmo". Hence why I said "Wonder why games are failing" |

It's safezones on pvp servers!!!! lol...nah, sucks man...still game is great, but tbh the safezones killed it for me. All pvp took place 1 foot outside a safezone...then the only pvp coming is instanced...so owpvp is nill.
Sorry to hear people losing jobs though...the game was solid so i'm sure devs will make it somewhere else. Incognito |

Originally posted by Pyuk "once a game is released" - No one said they never have layoffs. UO - http://www.uoherald.com/node/3 <-- there's UO for you. CCP had a layoff eight years after the release. Until then, the staff grew each year. The same with Blizzard - 'within the last year' is not what we are talking about unless 'within the last year' is 2004, at which point this is a helluva necro post.
filmoret: One thing I have never figured out is why the game devs hardly ever fix simple problems that arise. It is like they don't care about the pvp community. Nitth: What makes you so sure its a simple fix? filmoret: Because most of them are. Sometimes its just changing a number in a code string other times its creating a few variables. However none of them should take over a few hours of coding. |

Face it, when your MMORPG is advertised only with "action combat!" you know something is wrong...not to mention reviews from all over Asia about how this Asian game has a stupid story that makes no sense...I mean, not even to them does "we must kill the teribibledibles before they become to numerous and damage the serenity of our souls" make any freaking sense. level 1 to endgame has no point...A RPG with no story worth following...great idea! |

I am not surprised another game that is a clone and reskin. You would think dev houses would get the idea that is not what players want.

Tera's action combat is its main draw for me. I have a level 60 lancer(tank) a level 60 slayer (melee dps) and a level 55 warrior (hybrid melee). The game over all is entertaining, but its suffering from a declining player base. Some of the design decisions are not well thought out. One example is the coming change to lancer blocking. Its really a "solution" to a non existant "problem". This change is bound to seriously annoy many of us with lancers, and the timing is really bad, considering that Guild Wars 2 launches on the 25th. I'm giving some serious thought to just saying to hell with it, and moving to GW2. This is likely to make the current tank shortage even worse, lead to many people dropping their subs, and thus the down ward spiral will continue. Its too bad, as over all the game is rather entertaining.

I knew Tera was terrible from the first minute of beta. The opening cut scene gave it all away. "Hey look, There is a Magic Island!" oooh ah. Sean Connery badger, "yesh let us go a descover it." Horned girl, "Squew discover, let's plunder it." Just that intro made me feel like they were catering to 9 year olds. The breast physics were good though, I'm sure the employees who came up with that will find work. Oh wait, they probably don't work for enmasse, they're Korean and work for who ever actually developed this game. What does enmasse do anyway, translate badly? Press the on button?

okay i usually am all for pitty parties when people get let go here and i even hated it when swtor laid off employees but i seriously cannot even begin to feel sorry for this company and honestly why should anyone? This company bought the rights to a game that was flopping in asia that was posted during beta phases even in asia over a year ago on this site. This was before en masse was even anounced. So basically all im getting in is a ceo or board went in blindly and purchased the rights to tera without doing any research on the game before selling it here and then hired a bunch of people whom also did no research and just took the job thinking they would be perfectly fine even though the game was dying in korea and china? seriously whats wrong with this picture here, they knew better and my only guess is they were unemployed before this and had no choice but to take the job with en masse as anyone whom has choices of places to work tend to do tons of research before making that decision. Like i said im usually not this harsh on this sort of stuff but I just cannot fathom people not doing a google search before signing their life away. |

Originally posted by gravesworn Welcome to the real world. Its s sad fact of life but its true. The fact 99% of companies would rather cut people than have the execs take a pay cut is what is most frightening. Those execs are probably making x5 the amount of money than everyone else. But when its time to tighten the belt and lower costs its easier to cut people than have them take a cut. |

Well after a large chunk of work on the project is completed, a company doesn't need all the human resources anymore. They can't just make everyone a forum mod or a game admin. So this doesn't nececerily mean that EME is doing extremely bad. If EME had other projects, it'd be a different story (just move ppl over to a new project). Welcome to the corporate world of managers and executives. :P Cheers. |
