Hello

I was a close follower about 9 months before DWUF release, but I never got to play on EU launch day. The MMORPG options are dry and I want to give this game a try. My focus will be PvP and thats where these questions comes in mind:

Is there any perticular places where I could level up quicker? I assume it's best to stay in safe zones till I've reached max in lets say dexterity as skirm?

I hear progression goes faster in a gorup, are there any other people who would like to give this game a try, perhaps we could group up?

Does macroing still happen? Will I be at a big disadvantage if I dont use this? And does it take "long" to get my dexterity up by doing things manually?

I made this thread on the TERA EU forums.

Obviously we all are playing this game because it has something that could be unique and keeps us entertained. For me that is the somewhat shiny graphics combined with the combat and arena. Many of the other features I like could be expanded on, but these are my main. I was thinking how MMORPG X would be if it had TERAs combat, for example World of Warcraft.

Are there MMORPGs you would love to play, but just cant, because TERA offers something they dont have?

The community is whatever u make it to be. Shitheads can be found anywhere, though they are easier to spot in tera as they came with the Frogster-frustration (the great depression).

Let me just get this clear, can I ask you if you are saying it's fine to behave to like a racist bigot  from out of the 1950's or accept racist behavior becasue your pisssed of with Frogster? Becasue that's what you just wrote sounded like to me?

Was I quoting you? Is there any place in that post where I mentioned your name? I said shitheads can be found anywhere. You find them in SWTOR, WoW, Rift, Tera and so on. Being a shithead can mean many things, but I was merely pointing out Frogster's past treatment of their community, and lack of will to stop those who stepped to far (like on tera forums in the past). This has given growth to a certain community.

Now when that is said, where in my original post did I say it was fine to act like a shithead? Not to mention where did I say I was pissed off at Frogster? I was merely stating my observations.  If I were to make an assumption of you I'd say you assume to much.

Sorry to burst your bubble but it makes little sense to me.

Trion has just fired a load of long term devs for Rift and now there going to publish this limited appeal niche game?, (Whether I may like it or not is irrelevent, it's a game with limited appeal to most people because of it's mechanics).  Were those people fired for this?!

Rift must be doing worse then I thought because if they seriously cut people to fund publishing this then they are clueless

Dont you think they're prepared for the task at hand? They have more experience than you as they have to take such decisions daily, so your speculations makes absolutely no sense at all. Just because some get fired doesnt mean they have less chance of success, in some cases a company realizes they just have to many uneeded people

Notice how games that try to break the WoW clone mold start out okay but then slowly get enough criticism to make them eventually patch towards becoming more clone like.  So many of these changes appear that way to me. 

 

I'll be most interested in the spvp changes.  As it is now, the thought of pvping for cosmetics is just not fun to me.  Ya, it's equal for everyone, but without some impactful rewards, it lacks any life to me.  

But if you are good, why do you need better gear? That is the vision of Anet by making everyone equal. Perhaps there should be other types of advancement, rather than improving gear stats. It makes sense, you get better over time, why do you need better gear - it creates an even larger gap between the newbies and longtimers (which isnt competitive). Different story in PvE and WvW though, which is fine.

Actually, glad to hear they left this out. Currently playing some Aion and quite regularly someone will randomly challenge me to a duel and all I can think of is go out and find some Asmos to smack down you idiot and stop wasting my time.

Yeah that makes perfect sense, hence why it would make even more sense to have a restricted area in the Mist (where PvP interested folks are heading towards) that allows dueling. This game isnt about 1v1, but learning how to cope in 1v1 would strengthen you in teamplay. by mastering the oposing classes.

I truly believe GW2 is a great game, especially compared with todays MMORPG market, not to mention the level of detail Anet has put down with this game.

While they have a trong focus on structured PvP, I wonder if they've ever given any info about implementing dueling? I really dont understand why they haven't added this feature. It would be perfect in the Mist. Has there been any official words on this?
