10-15 seconds for me. I am ok with those loading times, but yeah 60 seconds is too much.

Maybe finally a game that will gather a fanbase of intelligent and grown up people.

 

There is much to be liked in this one so far.  It might be the perfect game to play together with GW2

Agree with you 100%, I am pleasantly surprised by this game.

If any of you have completed this tier of the quest, please for the love of god tell me how to get out of the archives!!! ive been sealed in here for hours!

How in the world did you get to 11/18 ? Mine says I cant progress further at 8/18 in the beta.

Quite the list, but atleast it means they are aware of these things and working on them.

I am happy to see it mentioning character animations, as thats the biggest gripe ive found with the game so far.

The combat animations are indeed the main issue right now, the game itself has the right ideas, and Funcom seems capable of implementing them in an interesting way.

However the combat animations are simply not good enough for a 2012 MMO, I really hope what we are seeing is placeholders, but only time will tell.

And this is why I still believe Trion is one of the best companies out there.

How the hell could they even put out an expansion? And no they wouldn't fix the PvP, the game is simply dead and it's already confirmed it will adopt the free to play model or perhaps shut down servers by the end of the year seeing the subscription rates. 

 

Alright alright, lets hold back a bit on the assumptions.

The 2 "expansions" they mention are content patches, already been confirmed to be a misunderstanding, the numbers show a 400k decline, but the game is making EA a profit in the long run.

F2P model has never been mentioned as a possibility, and MMO's have done well in the past with far less subs than this.

I dont play SWTOR myself, and I am not a fan of anything BW did with it, but lets atleast try to stay realistic and not just go crazy on assumptions.

I would go as far as to call it a Hybrid, but its definatly more Themepark than Sandbox. The theme of the game and the classless progression is what speaks to me.

That is a quote from korea where the game is F2P as are most or all mmorpgs.  I will ask again can you please give me a link to the "live" cash shop in the western market where I can purchase items for my character.

It's not even released yet in Europe - it hits the shops tomorrow. Do you really think the Koreans will leave out a feature that makes them earn more money? It's already discussed on the Tera europe forums.

Comparing the two games is like comparing apples and oranges anyway. Tera is an awful Asiatic grind while GW2 is a game bringing a totally new approach to the signification of levels and leveling (for this gamer generation at least). Tera is another poorly designed EQ/WoW clone with sub par quests and story, while GW2 is something that hasn't been seen on the MMORPG scene since over 10 years.

And yeah, I wish the Tera fans who don't plan to play GW2 would stick to the Tera forums, just like I stick to the GW2 forums. You're going to have a hard time finding a post of mine bashing Tera on their own forums, because I don't do it. Why waste my time annoying fans of a game I dislike?

Way to not have any insight about what you are talking about, the T-cat vendors have been removed from EU/US version, both EME and Frogster have confirmed Item Shops are not on the table right now.

TERA is a grind? Now you're just giving away that you have no knowledge about the game what so ever. Fair enough you like GW2 but come on, atleast try to stay factual when you want to debate the 2 games.

I have no gripes with GW2 at all, I am sure it will do what it does well, but hating over things that aren't even true, you're making the MMO community look bad.

Congratulations EME, I will be playing on EU, but I can only hope Frogster adopts the same attitude towards TERA as you have.

For the first time I believe a Korean MMO has a chance in the west.

Lets go up, to the top! 3 days till Headstart, we still need a few DPS.

i tried warrior in the last beta.  and was very impressed.  i normally hate melee classes,  but to play a melee in this game, is pure fun.

archer is also a nice class, but feels more tricky to play,  but can imagine that anyone who manages to master the Archer playing style well, would rock.

mystic, i found way too tricky, and somewhat odd. 

priest,  my favorite so far.  but my opinion is bias since i love playing healer classes.  in Tera playing as a healer is actually the most fun and rewarding experience ever.  

sorcerer, feels like a true glass cannon.  i heard they do the most damage in high end levels. 

 

is easy to get inmersed in Tera.  the world is gorgeous, varied,  huge and open.  so if you like exploration like me,  you will have tons of fun, discovering new places.

i love the capital cities.   high elven city is actually a work of art.

The combat is ok, I wouldnt call it great by any stretch of the imagination. 

 

Now Exploration on the other hand is horribe.  If you think exploration in tera is great then you have missed out on what real exploration looks like.  The zones are extremely small and there are aartificial barriers galor that punish any sense of exploration in the common use of the term.

Pretty easy to hear you haven't been very far in the game, the higher level zones are huge, and ideal for exploration.

And if you dont belive me, go to youtube and check out Steparus exploration videos.

Raiderz:

Poor graphics

Poor character animations

Poor casting animations

Uninspired world, lacking any real soul.

Multiclassing isn't real multiclassing, and comes were several restrictions.

Perfect World F2P = P2W at endgame just like all their other games.

The combat doesn't come close to TERA, especially once you get to higher levels in TERA with glyphs and such, this could be because of the terrible animations and odd pace of the game.

Honestly, to me this is just Forsaken World with attempted action combat, I know that theres a market for F2P out there, seeing how many people play these games, but dont fool yourselves into thinking that PWE wont milk the cashshop here just like they do in all their other games.

The claim that its just alpha doesnt cut it either here, the game has been available in Korea for quite a while, and what you see is what you get.

Actually I'd say TEra is poor man's raiderz.

Raiderz has far more well implemented combat, (almost) classless gameplay, more interesting open world and a taste of Monster Hunter(a huge plus).

ALL Tera has is combat(which is not even that great and is certainly NOT fluid). Raiderz from the alpha test and PAX, seems to offer so much more.

Thats a nice fantasy, I sometimes dream up things aswell.

Pretty much grind it out. Its better xp if you group and grind. Same with crafting. Welcome to jmmos!

And here I thought Final Fantasy was about the story.

Still looking for a few more people for launch in less than 3 weeks :)

Guild Information:
Pixel Mafia is a guild established by long term gaming and real life friends, we have a strong emphasis on community and having fun, our members are all MMO veterans that have been playing for the better part of 10 years through pretty much all of the major MMO titles.

We created this guild as we felt there was a gap in what pve server guilds in Europe had to offer, and we feel that we can fill this gap, and offer people a great enviroment in which to explore and enjoy everything that TERA has to offer.

Goals for the guild:
Pixel Mafia wants to be the best we can be, without giving up on our real life commitments, we are all people with former hardcore gaming backgrounds, who have gotten older, but still enjoy MMO gaming,
but instead of spending 7 nights a week on it, we use our experience to make the most out of the time we do have online.

This means that we expect people to show up when they sign up for something, and we expect them to be prepared in every possible way, in return we will provide the best possible surroundings for semi-hardcore progression

Community:
As we are an international guild, with many languages, countries and cultures represented, we expect every member and recruit to respect peoples differences, but also encourage them to get to know each other, as we firmly believe that the strongest guild, is one where friendship and a sense of belonging is at the core of everything

This also means we have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to guild drama, if anyone is found to disrupt what we feel is appropriate behaviour, they will be removed from the guild.

Recruitment:
Currently we are recruiting all classes, we do not have a set goal memberwise, but we will only recruit people that we believe will fit into our mindset for gaming.

We enforce a strict 20+ age requirement, we are aware that there's people out there who consider themselves to be mature, unfortunately we have learned from experience that 9 out of 10 times this is not the case, therefor this requirement.

Applying:
Should you be interested after reading all of this please feel free to head on over to our website and fill out our recruitment form, should you have any questions, feel free to contact us either via our website or via our IRC channel.

I'm from EU(SCotland) And I can't decide if I should buy the US version of the game or the EU..

I can't imagine too many people in EU playing this.

Its been plenty busy on the EU Beta servers, and there seems to be an ok sized community for EU aswell, however US community does seem bigger, but latency is too important in this game for me to pick US.

@ Velera - read your first post again then. Maybe edit it to what you post further down

No my first post is fine, it stated very well my feelings towards their pre-order program, and it doesn't say that its mandatory.
