Must be a pretty good game because there are lots of haters on this site.

You say it's the same as every other MMO except the combat like that's a bad thing.  The same +1 > The same.

Ya good call, "pretty good" mmo's have 10 servers that are half full. The score the game has on this site does not accurately reflect the population of this game. This is what makes no sense. If the game was actually as good as the score would indicate people would be flocking to the game. Instead people on the official forums have noted the decline that has taken place already.

First of all, if you are judging a game's worth by the rating on this site, you're kinda dumb.  Second of all, TERA is a solid game for a lot of folks, despite your personal reservations about it.  

Any other questions?

 

 

Yes. I never once said I was "judging" the game based on this sites score. I said I do not understand why it is so high.  Now as far as your statement that "Tera is a solid game for a lot of folks," your definition of "a lot" must not be all that many considering the current server population.

MMO servers generate capacity reports in different ways. There is no SET standard on how full a server is compared to empty. 

 

The game is good, I know it upsets you so I will give you some advice: Don't play it

 I'm going to let you in on a little secret, combat is really important in an MMO.

Should be a big warning at the top of that page for mmorpg.com newbies.

WARNING: THESE RATINGS ARE SUBJECT TO TRENDY, FREQUENTLY MANIPULATED, AND GENERALLY MEANINGLESS.  (Just like most other rating sites) PLEASE IGNORE THEM.

 

Ignore the nattering of beldames, enjoy whatever you like.

Every hyped game starts at the top at launch and then slowly falls.. That's how it works on this site.

It is a good game.

And they had the eggs to make an MMO with action-oriented-combat. I mean look at SWTOR and how outdated and boring its combat is.

Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need.

Another day, another virus marketing attempt.

Tera is a great game, its rare to enjoy a game for the journey and enjoy it fight by fight.

Looking forward to organising Monday night pvp nights in my guild when enough of us crack 60. Will be fun to split those online into 2 deathmatch teams and have at it. Reminds me of the old days in UO.

You mean viral marketing.  Virus marketing would be...counterproductive.

But this thread (or one just like it) happens for every single new game released.  Regardless what the "score" is, it isn't difficult to find someone who disagrees with it.

I'm assuming like most review/rating sites the score is based upon how much the company or game studio being reviews is willing to pay.

Users are payed to score a game? Hey, i want that too.

 

To OP, dont worry, with the campain against TERA be in 1st place on users rating im surprice the game still stay there atm, but that campain will give some results very soon, and then you can finally sleep in peace at night.  :)

 

Note: Its like the users rating means something around....

 It obviously doesn't mean anything, but since this thread was made it says something about the users here. Trying to de-rail TERA for some personal vendetta apparently.

 

Since this thread was made TERA went from 8.43 to 8.34 and Rift went from 8.20 to 8.32, random rating change on Rift out of nowhere, isn't that weird.

Its done, TERA is 2nd now.

 

See the bright side, Pivotelite, now theres no reason for more threads like this

 

TERA is a great game (i dont play it because pc issues) and doesnt matter the rating around.

 

Have fun
