Dude! You always tell your friends the truth! Otherwise they are not your friends!

Hero Engine is fine just don't like EA/BW mod it.

I don't know anything but if they wanted to do it right would be a EQ/AC clone not DAoC/WOW clone. Also, they need to rename it NIm online or something not Elder Scrolls. Elder Scrolls is the RPG series name not the name of the world.

I did this with many of the quests. Not all but I did see how they continue on even after the initial questing phase.

Guardian more than likely.

Testing new Thief buid next BWE.

Well, it really depends on how they do with class balance in future updates.  I'm a little worried about the fact they are looking over melee and possibly buffing it as melee was absolutely overpowered already in Conquest especially on certain professions.  Right now a lot of balancing needs to be done.  If you like I can comment further on why this is, but right now I felt the professions were tiered as followed in their current known top specs:

Balantly Overpowered:  Necromancer (Staff), Ranger (Warhorn + Anything and Greatsword)

Somewhat Overpowered, but Managable:  Warrior (Axe + Shield and Greatsword), Guardian (Sword/Shield and Mace/Focus)

Balanced:  Thief (Anything really), Elementalist (Anything really), Engineer (Pistol + Shield)

Underpowered:  Mesmer (Staff and Dual Swords)

Nearly every profession had "balanced" specs and weapon sets (for example bow Rangers are effectively balanced in my opinion), just certain weapon sets and utility skills need to obviously be brought down a notch.  Mesmer was the only profession I felt could use an all around buff.  If you want explanations to why I felt this way I could provide it.

 

How can anyone make these conclusions based on a single weekend surrounded with people that have no clue how to play their class best?

Or the fact no one made it to lvl 80 outside of Structured PvP and boosting. There was no class actually OP in BWE some people may think so but this is what killed WAR, DAoC and many other games. There is no balance in large scale tactical PvP.

Fell in love with GW2 15mins of playing.

you see.. thats just you, you dont like Tera and you like GW2.

I like TERA more that GW2.

Why mods should shut down it? Because peoples do not like the game you like? See my point?

No you don't see the point he is making. He isn't saying because he likes GW2 they should lock the thread. He is saying it should be locked because the thread is a useless discussion.

Atleast someone understand what I was getting at.

I just upgrade my computer and you don't need the best hardware to game. You have to research the reviews.

I myself upgraded to i5 2500K because that is the best bang your your dollar and you need nothing better than that to game.

I did change my HDD to SATA II.

Also, upgraded my RAM to 16G DDR3.

But I kept my GTX285 video card. Again because you don't need anything better. Do I want to buy the GTX690 sure but it isn't needed.

I ran GW2 BWE on high and had none of the lag issues that other had even on better systems.

Actually I never intended to play it even when they announced they would announce it. They can not make a Elder Scrolls MMO but are using the IP for Hype. It won't be anything like the RPG which has had so much success. They need to call it something else and still have it in the world Nim. Keep it to the lore but don't use Elder Scrolls as the online name.

I myself don't need rewards to play a game or PvP for that matter but I can see some people like to have them. The question is what kind of rewards because it seems to me people want it to be a gear gind which kills games faster than anything else.

I myself am rewarded by completed the hard content and being a successful play in the game because skill will come to play in this game.

So sad that this game went under. I was so hyped to play the game and loved the stress test even without most of the game available.

I don't know if it looks like DAoC but it sure plays alot like DAoC/War in WvWvW and feels like EQ1 in PvE. It is awesome.

I don't believe they can or make a MMO anything like Elder Scrolls. They are just using the IP for hype.

As far as FFA PvP goes it isn't needed in any game since it doesn't add anything to PvP and only benefits zergs and I PvP every game since EQ have yet to see a FFA PvP that was all that good.

Not being sandbox doesn't make sense but than again they are just using the IP for hype. I think this MMO with do for me to Elder Scrolls what any Star Wars game did for the Star Wars franchise, ruin it!

I believe your structured PvP will be the e-Sport but you are jumping the gun a bit given that it is in beta and far from launch. They don't even have all the structured PvP implemented yet.

The OP is right not that Old School MMO where prefect but they where MMOs.

Today we have Action adventure Co-Op games.

These easy mode games are no challenge to the elite gamers that want to play a game for success not be given everything for nothing.

Not saying they shouldn't exist but there is not one MMO that caters to the old school crowd even though we have 1000s to choose form.

I would even like Vanilla WOW again that is how bad MMOs are today.

Only people that pre-purchased the game could play. So why would someone that was very skeptical prepurchase the game?

 

On top of that, you can not get a refund when you prepurchased a game. Its not a pre-order.

I was very skeptical and pre-prechased the game to see what it wsa about. Now I am glad I did.

I would also like to point out you can cancel any pre-oder of any product that has not shipped yet at anytime even though they say otherwise. Comsumers are protected like that by laws.

My favorite part is that by switching weapons the class plays entirely differently from one moment to the next.

And then once you get weapon swapping at 7 it's like playing 2 different classes at the same time, switching back and forth constantly based on tactical need and combat situational awareness.

Can you switch weapons in TERA?

Lol I'm being terrible.. I know...

You can swap weapons in FFXIV too and it changes your job completely! That turned out so well for them! Gamechanger... That being said, I play FFXIV and enjoy it =P Unfortunately all the weapon swapping does for melee is give us a reason to not... melee...

Melee is a lot more difficult in GW2 but you do a lot more damage and it is so much more fun because of the difficulty.

Going ranged all the time is the easy way out. Yes, it needs some balancing but I never played all ranged in PvE or PvP last weekend.

I noticed it the most in WvWvW I think. Ranged standing back dropping AoEs and never getting touched, while melee were dead the minute they tried to get into the fray. Pulling out my Rifle seemed to work OK, but really as a warrior I don't wan't to use a Rifle, I want to cut people up !

Melee works great at times in WvW but you can't get away from having a range back up when in WvW but once you get through those doors melee owns and taking camps melee is the best class to survive. I know I had to do alot of dodging to stay alive in WvW but they have their rolls in WvW.

Very much enjoyed the BWE and the difficutly of the PvE. WvWvW was a blast, can't wait to test all the WvWvW once it is ready. Loved the feel of what EQ gave when fighitng mobs. Now we see where it goes from here.

I found the combat in Tera to generic and stale not active enough. Mobs are also to easy.

GW2 was much more tactical and active combat. PvE is challenging and exciting.
