The only people that get bugged by the "animation-lock" thing seem to be the people that have zero understanding of tactics and strategy in gameplay. To them it's all about mashing your face on the keyboard at will without any downfalls.

 

To the OP, sorry you didn't like it. As an old time MMOer that goes back before MMOs to MUDs I can say that TERA combat has ruined every other game. I was hyped over GW2, but after playing the TERA combat I simply can't stomach any other combat anymore. To really give this game a shot you have to play it to lvl 20. Once you start getting into groups you'll really see what the game has to offer.

 

The Asisn theme being a turnoff seems really superficial to me, but oh well guess we have those in the gaming world as well, no surprise there. Hurray for our generation :)

No, i'm sorry you are 100% wrong.

 

If I were to remove all the equipment/clothing from my character I would be perfectly ok with nipples, vag, or big floppy dong swinging around.  But when I put on a suit of ARMOR, I do not want to see a my ass hanging out as I run around.  It's childish to expect people to WANT that.

Also, someone commented about my "homosexual man elf 6-pack" statement...  I have two gay male friends.  Both of which you would NEVER know were gay unless they told you.  Why?  Because they act like every other human male on the planet (give or take). 

I'm equally bothered by the Asian male character models as I am about the Female.  I personally hate the art style and the Anime softcore porn.  It's annoying.  I can resepct others may enjoy it, but I do not.

You know, I had no complaints about AoC boobs and models... I think it comes down to the fact that I HATE Asian anime art.  Every Asian style game that comes out has the same look/feel to the female/elf/male characters and I hate it.

But you know what, I can move past the art/visuals of a game.  Unfortunately the GAMEplay for Tera is terrible.  I don't enjoy any of it.  I dropped 50 dollars on it, I have nothing else to do this weekend but play games, and I find myself hitting alt+f4 and loading up League of Legends....

But I've been trying to enjoy this game even a little and I can't!

 

The Asian influence is so beyond huge I almost can't stand it.  The actual class abilities are pretty boring.

"Ranged" classes aren't really ranged as just about every spell is either melee range or "Does less damage at longer range" and because every ability in game (almost) requires you to stop and wait for animations, melee will be up in your face after 1-2 attacks anyway!

The melee classes:  "Does damage and swords swing around a ton for a second or two"   next ability... "Does damage and swords swing around and you jump up in air"  

 

I've always enjoyed playing ranged classes in any RPG and they are flat out terrible in this game =(

 

In PvE fights against a boss, the two ranged classes end up fighting in almost melee range, stand at what I would consider a resonable RANGE from the boss and you'll likely find your abilities doing less damage or missing due to out of range issues!

 

Guess I was so beyond bored I figured i'd give it a shot, and I find myself bored and having zero fun right from the start.  At least AION kept my attention for a few days =(

Don't play then.

No sense to argue really.  If you enjoy it, great!  I, and as it seems, many others do not enjoy it.  I guess it makes me feel good for some reason that others can't stand the game.

I did not take time to play any beta events so I had no way to know if i'd enjoy the game or not.  I assumed it would be like SWTOR and i'd get at least a week or two of enjoyment.  I created this thread because I cannot spend more than 5-10 min without wanting to quit.

People go on and on about the combat... and how "You can't stand in one spot and shoot..."  You know what, great!  You can't move either because every ability locks you down to cast. 

You can try to justify it and call people names (Stupid noob for example) because they don't enjoy the bad combat.   Age of Conan has the same exact action oriented NO target combat... yet you aren't locked to the ground while fighting. 

Tera combat is not fluid and enjoyable, it's rooted cooldown based... bad.

Again, Age of Conan (AoC) has a very similar combat system for melee, only better in so many ways.

I guess it feels good to complain after wasting 50 bucks on a pile of garbage =)  Fortunately, i'm not in the same situation as so many others.  It doesn't take me time to save up money.  50 bucks is nothing.  However, I do want to share the negative experience ive had so hopefully others can be saved from the same fate.

I believe the graphics of a game is extremely important as you will be playing and seeing the game at all times. I think it is equally important as gameplay, and like the OP I hate the Asian theme with the half naked characters. For me, that alone is a deal breaker. The graphics quality is amazing with everything maxxed out, but I'm talking about the graphics theme. In my opinion if I'm paying for a sub then I better like the way it looks or at least the majority. Also, the pause between the moves as people have talked about makes the combat feel kinda choppy, but I do realize the reasoning behind this. 

 

People must realize though that this is a different MMO then the one you are or have played. You will have to make adjustments, but for me its not the one now. I do think it will be a popular game and definately will be successful. I might try it out later down the road. More power to the ones enjoying this game! Back to my ps3. 

Compaired to GW2, TERA is like gold.

Just think, if you had spent the amount of time you've spent trolling in researching the game before you bought it you wouldn't have spent 50 bucks.

 

Honestly, this whole :smug: business because you didn't enjoy the game when the only real fool here is you for buying something you should have known you wouldn't like (Hate Asian themes and purchase an Asian theme guy?) - Lol, yah keep trying to come off as the cool guy :)

I'm sorry you spent 50$ on a game you don't like, but what you say make no sense at all.

 

You missed the CBT, you missed the OBT, you missed the chance to ask for a buddy key on the forum.

You don't like anime graphic and game. 

And after that you choose to throw 50$ on a game that you can tell just by looking at the cover is an anime game.

So really who is to blame? Are you even seriouss? 

 

And this thing about the root in combat had really to end. They advertised the game everywhere as action combat and now people keep complaing about the game having an action combat.

I don't know you, but if i buy Buronout I don't complain then that it doesn't have the realism of Forza Motorsport.

 

So guys really, get a grip.

If you don't like action games, is totally fine, but you can't yell on how unfair is the like cause a game sold as action combat has an action combat controls style.

lol so true - This has to be the worst troll yet. Hates Asian games, could have seen the root effect in any 1 youtube video, yet still buys the game. I'm sure EME thanks you for your support - It was much more generous than most trolls :)

 

The funny thing is despite blowing his money away like a fool, he still comes back to b--- about it with a smug attitude.

Sorry you didn't enjoy the game.  

Positioning would be great and fun IF there wasn't that stupid pause to cast making it a pita.  Seriously, that pause has got to go.

 

No it has not. You have your dream game without root, go play it.

You alrady said, often, that you don't like Tera on many levels, not only for the root. So leave the people who play the game, and enjoyed it, decide what have to stay and what have to go.

I paid for the game and have every right to ask for change.  I happen to not give up on products I don't like, I give them a few chances.  MMORPGs are great for that, as they can and will evolve over the years.  I've already come back happily to 2 games I hated before and love playing them now.  Lotro and EQ2.  I hope to do the same with Tera in the coming years.

How about learn to accept what others don't like and work with them instead of shunning them because you are too selfish to look past your own ego.

u see, ur should copy ur last sentence and dump them excatly on GW forum, ppl there will find anything to counter the negative comment.

They are the same just different animation styles.

I'm loving TERA and knew I would even before I played it at all.  Different strokes for different folks.

Actually, I deleted that line because I realized I was attacking the poster and not the post and felt it just fanned the flames insteaf of putting them out.  GW2 has ten times the depth Tera has anyway and any negative opinion there hasnt' pointed out true factual issues with the game, that I have seen.  They all just seem to be trolling on purpose just to get a rise out of everyone loving the game.  

Get all that from a day and a half huh? Lol

You piad for the game?
You tryed it during beta events, and you stated more than once thay you dislike it. So, you are really telling me, that you bougt a game you didn't like in the hope it will change to suit your taste?
Talking about ego.
 
I tryed GW2 i liked it but i prefer Tera combat still i don't go on GW2 forum QQing that they have to change the combat for me... I saw that a lot of people like GW2 combat and i respect it.
Why can't you do the same, instead of calling me on my ego that's making no sense at all.
