Too bad no one cares what you think or believe. Would you feel better if I bash GW2 instead? Of course you would, cause you only care cause I am saying stuff about a game you like. Also, even if this was a personal agenda or a paid campaign, would that change anything? Nope, I'm still just a guy on the internet with an opinion that rattles your cage cause its about something you like. Well, too bad.

Let's stop baiting each other and insulting each other.

here are the rules of conduct for those of you who have forgotten:

It's ok to have differences in opinion, it's not ok to insult people.

Now see that's an informed response. I have four things i'd like to know, does it force pvp upon you like other sandbox games have in the past?

And, does it offer more pve content other then grinding? (I'm specifically talking about solo duo dungeons like LOTRO Rift) with a currency that can be used for any number of things other then gear, like recipes, mass production recipes etc.

Does it have other activities like fishing for something other then trophies or for food? I loved fishing in WoW but often wished to find more things then fish and grey useless items. I tried fishing in LOTRO got really far with it only to find things only for the house. Does it have minipet taming or anything like it?

edited: for counting.

Ok, that's a lot of questions but I will try to answer what I can :)

  Tera has seperate servers, pvp and pve, therefore if you chose pve, pvp will not be forced upon you. As a matter of fact, the only ways you can pvp in a pve server is from dueling, Deathmatches, Battlegrounds (delayed till August) and Guild vs Guild (server vs server also in the future.) If you roll in a pvp server you will be killed after level 11 by pvp'ers, many times plus all of the above ways to pvp and if a political leader decides to make their lands Pvp, well then that area you will be forced to fight others.

   As far as Pve content goes, you get your instances started at level 20, but I must stress...Pve really starts with your first BAM, big Ass monster. These are the elite mobs that are all over the open world that you can solo but usually need a group to be on the safe side. If anything, it is because of BAMs that people get hooked on Tera, it is the best use of their action combat that they have always talked about since the start. There's more pve, a lot more, like Dark Crevices aka Rifts in RIFT, but if I go on, this would be way too long.

 Your question about duo'ing instances and other Pve content is a big fat yes. the mobs, whether they are elite, named or bosses will never have a guaranteed hit on you, therefore you can dodge all you want, move away from their attacks all you want and effectively two-man them IF you have the time and skills.

 Currency is funny in Tera. There's so much of it but people still run out because there's so many uses for it. Enchanting, sealing and unsealing, Dye system, reskinning armor, potions, crafting and much more....recently the pet system in Tera was removed, it's not the typical pet system we know, it was more of a Korean private shop kinda thing and they are pretty much have taken that away. But if you like collecting pets, there's a massive amount of horses, panthers and lions you can buy and ride on.

The one good thing I can say about Terra is that they processed my refund within just a few hours.

good thing you got a refund for Terra. that game must suck :P oh, hey you should try Tera Online, good game...

    Love how some people want to prove that they played a game but in reality they didn't at all....not a good way to hate on Tera, man.

Seriously? Your "defense" of Terra is "nuh uh?"

 

Psst ... buddy, several of my guild members pre-ordered the game, wanted to like it, hated it, and got a refund. What a genuine  {insert word that will get me a warning here}.

 

For your curiosity, this is what En Masse says in their (admittedly professional and prompt) refund emails:

Charles,

 

I understand and would be more than happy to help you out. As you requested I have initiated a refund of your order #************, which may take up to 72 hours to complete. If you have any additional questions or concerns in the meantime, don't hesitate to ask! Have a great evening, and take care.

The game blows big ones /genious. I think you'll enjoy it.

Trust me, I didn't say I didn't believe you in getting a refund, it's your money, you do what you want with it. What is funny to me was that you didn't even bother spelling the name right, it's Tera, with one "r", if you didn't mind spelling the game right, you didn't mind trying the game out anyways. It looks like just an afterthought to you, and consequently seems you were setting yourself up to not liking it.  You obviously didn't approach it as something you would probably enjoy from the beggining. But hey, more power to you, some people just won't like Tera. I for one, love it and I am having a blast with my brother and Girlfriend.

Not being overly protective, most of us have been very up front about tera (the good and not so good).  We have stated over and over that tera is not for everyone (case in point YOU and that other guy that always post here).  I've played Tera for over a year now so you really can't say that i'm still in the honeymoon stage now can you?

Ok. Good gor you, your brother and GF. I hated it, but I didn't want to. As for the reason I believed you were calling me a liar, it's because you called me a liar: "Love how some people want to prove that they played a game but in reality they didn't at all....not a good way to hate on Tera, man."

I actually assumed  (from my HS Latin and Greek) that En Masse (I did not spell check that FYI) took the name from an actual thing, like an ancient goddess:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terra_(mythology) (maybe she has a copyright filing inprogress from a few thousand years ago?)

Rather than a prefix in the international system of measurements ... which makes a TON of sense.

Anyway, don't Hardy Boys my spelling all that much (or the spelling of the En Masse devs for that matter ...)

My crappy spelling aside (or the developers crappy spelling?) I just think the game isn't even a good stop-gap for GW2. Not for my guild anyway. I wish it were.

Tera's combat was pretty awsome, a game that will  take me a long time to master in pvp and i like it.

It has some pretty big issues though.

End game voteing i have 0 interest in, just as rl politics it cant be fun for anyone except those that are candidates. It could have been so much better with siege and engaged way more people then the voteing will sadly do.

The power difference by only a few levels was hugh, way to high for a pvp game but ktera didt have the same pvp as us so was never an issue there, but it is a hugh issue with our pvp ruleset.

I had 28 slayer with lvl 27 green gear and i got 1shot or atleast killed in under a second by a level 32 archer, that made me cry a little on the inside. We did bams as a group of 3 level 24 and a 31 warrior tryd to gank us but for some odd reason we managed to kill him(if that was a range char or slayer we would all have died pretty fast).  +/- 2 levels was quite adictive in pvp though. Becouse of this i will suck it up and endure it until endgame.

I realy doubt this will be fixed by Enmasse but if they did, it would be a far better pvp game.

All in all i liked this game and will play it for a short while atleast, i doubt this game will hold me long term sadly but i will realy enjoy it while it last. I hope to see more action oriented games in the future that will suit me even more.

Refreshing mmorpg combat for sure

i don't like your prodigious anti-Tera posts either.  or any person who constantly rails on ANY game.

i'm not a Tera fanboy.  i think its an important game, but i hate all the rooting stopping my movements all the time.  to me its not a real action game because of that, altho its a cut above the standard MMORPG combat, and it DOES take real life skills unlike them.

but fanboys are alot easier to take.  they are just people loving a game.  totally normal.  but flamboys like you, who appear to LIVE for flaming a game in every thread about it (and i don't even read this site that much, but seems like i've seen you post some nonsense in EVERY single Tera thread), seem to either be paid by some competing company, or have..... life imbalances.  hating so much is a sickness.

Sounds like you are talking about gw2 not TERA

LMAO wtf ever dude, no point having an argument with someone who's unarmed. Have fun wasting more monthly fee's tho.

I really can't see the resistance to subs. It's 10-15$ per month, not hundreds. That's nothing to pay for a quality game(which is the real problem as many games aren't as good or ready as they should be at release). But really, thats too much to pay that it is a big deal? I'd much rather a sub and have everything in game and not nickel and dimed by a CS. (which is another problem as new releases seem to be getting away with having both.)

I actually like DDO's way-no pay for game (F2P with restrictions), CS to get restrictions lifted on content/classes + vanity crap, or 10/month sub and get 500pts p/month for CS. Since they went to this model, they have added a ton of content (more than they were with subs only). And sub gets new content w/o extra charge. Even with F2P you could get all content and classes opened for probably $75, and not pay a sub. Very flexible.

As for GW2's model (which I am going to play), I just hope they put a lot of effort into it between expansions.

Seems to be bothering you more then me. What other excuses are you going to come up with to try and rationalize why someone has a different opinion then you? Sickness ... now that's a funny one. Maybe I should go down as the first person with 'Haters disease'. lol

Last time I checked, you weren't the OP, nor was I referring to you. Even so, every game has the die hard fans. Even Warhammer still has people who pay for it.

Was going to quote some people make a long post than I thought why even bother? All the people here pretty much has a set belief on if they like Tera, hate Tera, or neutral. Same thing been said over and over and over and over and over and over..... I feel like a freaken broken tape recorder saying them again go the exact same statement made yesterday last week or a month ago.

I wish TSW, GW2, and Archage just be out or at least in CBT like Tera so everyone can gtfo to their respective forum and leave the game forum to people people who want to play the repective games and help exchange ideas to make the game better rather than my opinion is Tera suck or my opinion is Tera is good or w/e. Seriously if you don't like Tera and not going to make any useful contrubition to the game just go post on the forum of the game you want to be part of and help develop.

you completely missed the point.  its not about having a difference of opinion AT ALL.

its about being obsessive in flaming a game, over and over and over and over and over again.  once, twice, 3 times, maybe even more, if there was actually any real content in your posts, might be normal.   but the way you do it.... its a sickness.

its also about that. 

just to let you know he's far from the only person who sees you as obsessive and being on some silly anti-Tera campaign.  probably wouldn't have said anything if you didn't make that comment.  

afterall, people obsessively campaigning against particular games is sadly all too common on this site.

yep i like tera for now, lol but who can fortell the future if i might still be playing it after 3mths lol, when i played rift i love it, unfortunately after 6mths i quit even tho i sub for a year lol, same as aoc sub for a year gave up after 9mths.

i am still searching for the one mmorpg that will capture my full attention, unfortunately there isnt one, but i do regret the demise of sb, was awesome and nope could match it's gameplay, unfortunately the mmorpg for the present are shallow instance based crap (df is different but it's too hardcore, it's even worst that working, but at least when u work u get paid:p).

just my 2 cents of bs:p

 anticipation for one thing will make you bored with everything else.

get a good long Tera fix, and i'm sure other games will become appealing once again.

it's funny that this actually has to be said.

some people don't understand psychology very well on mmorpg.com.

but for now we are hyped, omfg TERA all the way haha, say what u want sticks and stones might break my bones but words can never hurt me:p
