I don't like spiders IRL. Really, really, really don't like. D:

Bored? No. I'm not happy with them making the spiders in these games, bigger, hairier and movement resembling the real things down to a tee.

Yeah, kinda.  

As for the title of this thread... you have to get to level 30 to start having fun or so I heard.

I'm giving this game a fair go so any comments I make will be from direct experience. I'm even on a pvp server so I can sample that asap.

 

1) I was just suprised by the crosshair mechanism. It just only seems to apply in a certain arc, but when you're strafing it doesn't. I'm playing a lancer fyi.

2) Good to hear the mobs get faster.

3) I'm pretty sad about the fact it guides you. I hated that in other games. (HI2U Rift and Warhammer). Guess I was spoilt with Daoc.

4) I just think armours should have alot of variation.

 

5) Graphics just arn't that special. Most ftp asian grinders are pretty similar art wise.

-Rift screenie, just way better. I'm just suprised that you think the graphics are all that. Maybe i've just played more games.

 

 

 

1, why are you strafing as a lancer? Lancers are a forward attacking class and have a very narrow bit in front of them to attack. YOu would do better strafign as a warrior.

2, yes they do get faster. I was nothign that there are several mobs taht will attack you and immediately jump back, reposition, jump over you and attack again.

3, Waht do you mean by "guides you"? It is a theme park game, true, but my leveling bruoght me to different places than beta. I actually bypassed certain places that I levelled in at beta. additionally, the game sends yout to different areas before you've outlevelled an area so you can feasibly stay or move to a new area.

4, I would agree with you but what game really offers a lot of variation? Lotro? Certainly not Aoc. Certainly not EQ2. Not lineage 2. Not DDO.

5 sorry but I played Rift and the graphics in Tera are better. the art design is better as well. this has to be your video card.

Well it's awesome that some people's experiences differ from mine.  I felt like levels 1 through 10 were more like a job lol

Funny, because i find the mobs varying alot. In one small area/quest i might have to come up with 4 different strategies to take down the 4 different "classes" of mobs. Some of them are way harder then others depending on what class you play, so just smashing your face against them can result in very bad HP management and loads of downtime, or even death.

I've also found the mobs a lot more varied. My main is 30 and it seems each zone adds more mobs than before.  They're also a lot more original in appearance than the mobs in most MMOs. The Big Ass Monsters (BAMs) are also a lot of fun to fight, as well!

Well, spider bored as I am, have to admit this is pretty bad assed looking :)

It's just another game destined to fail. 

The subscriber rate is already dying and I've got a month left of playtime which I haven't even touched since last week logging in during mid-day on the weekend and seeing only 20 players online.

This game shares the same fate as SWTOR, a ghost town and possibly a ghost town even if it went f2p.

Overall the game is bad, I've stated my reasons for why it is in a seperate thread and stick to them.

Games like this shouldn't even exist as the development team clearly put hardly any effort into making it, let alone caring about it or the players who would play it, only about luring people in with "A NEW BREED OF MMO" and taking their $65 to blow away on whatever.  The combat is nothing special and if anything AoC did a better job and that doesn't say much at all. 

Waste of time and money for me and I'm sure for pleanty of others here too.

So then another ship sinks.. Farewell Tertanic! You barely sailed even an inch.

So i've actually been playing Tera.

 

Issues i have.

5) Graphics. Everyone was raving how amazing they were.I checked my settings twice to make sure they were maxed out because I thought I was missing something. Did you all come from WoW?. Aion had much better graphics and better mob/weapon design. They're really pretty average for a korean grinder. Nice but, standard stuff

 

Seriously? Aion? lol.

FYI Aion had low res textures for the environment in order to have high res textures on character models. Yeah Characters look amazing in Aion but the world, not so much. They did this for performance purposes, because the lag in big fights was horrible and even with this sacrifice in graphics, lag was horrid in sieges.

Tera has high res textures everywere,  characters and world look great. Everyone knows UE3 is fantastic.

And design wise is subjective, but Tera art design is gorgeous. Even better than Aion IMHO.

yea from a pure technical stand point the games graphics are great even if you hate the art style the textures and everything look great.. the actual atmoshpere could be better and some extra enviornmental effects would be nice but there a much bigger issues with TERA and graphics I wouldn't say is one of them

I'm playing tera at the moment.. when im on my own i'm bored oout of my mind. The questing IS terrible... but when I'm playing with my bro and my dad, archer / warrior / priest, we storm through the boring stuff so fast that it all becomes about the BAMs and we do have a pretty good time.

I have the same problem with this game's mobs that I do with SWTORs.  It's not the lack of variety, it's how they are placed and set up.  You either fight 1 single mob, which I like or you fight 1 mob and his 8 little friends which is annoying as all hell, specially when they get under your feet and for some reason the targeting doesn't always hit them.  Can't hit a mob at point blank range?  WTF!!!  Every quest tells you to go fight clumps of these or the single mobs.  I actually jump for joy when I get collect quests and deliver quests because those let me see something new. 

Again, just like SWTOR, this game has no real depth.  SWTOR had story and no combat with lackluster enemy clusters and boring leveling.  Tera has combat with lackluster enemy clusters, boring leveling and a pitiful story.

If I could take Tera's combat and throw it into games like EQ2, Aion, and SWTOR I would be a happy camper.

1 single mob, which you like? LOL. Talk about slow and boring.

This is not your old school single tab targeting boring combat mmo. In Tera if you agro N mobs you hit them all with the same blow. It will take the same time to kill 1 mob or several mobs together.

I always agro 4 or 5 mobs together, the minions are a total non issue as they die after 2 blows, I never need to aim at them, it's as it they weren't even there. And when there's only minions, 1 blow with an AOE skill kills them all.

1 quest is usually between 10 and 15 mobs. So I fight 2 or 3 times per quest. This is too quick, IMHO they should give at least 50 mobs per quest; but then all the people who don't know how to play will complain about "the grind".

Try to play a class with some decent AOE skills. For example, doing this with a Warrior needs some concentration on your part (but is very doable). On the opposite, doing it with a Slayer is easy mode (now in the mid-30ies on the slayer I never dropped below 75% HP).

Doing this with a Bezerker you'll probably handle 7 or 10 mobs easily.

In all honesty, any game becomes that fun with those people.

Even WoW :).

It takes the same time to kill 5 aggroed mobs than it takes to kill 1.

If you position the mobs properly, each blow hits them all for about the same damage.

This is easier if your class has AOE skills. With no AOE skill you need to work harder at lining them up.

Seriously, I can't believe people are playing the whole game fighing 1 mob at a time.
