No instances??
Hi all!
So i was reading some stuff on the bluehole studios out of boredome and i found this..
A quote on the main paige from bluehole studios site..
"Also, unlike games that claim to be an MMORPG by emphasizing action-style gameplay, TERA does not utilize zoning (section loading). Players move seamlessly throughout the world, sharing a singular combat experience and uniting together against truly dangerous foes. The foundation for TERA's innovative combat system originates from this robust client/server technology, and is one of the many revolutionary features developed by Bluehole to enhance the end-user experience."
So is this means there will be no instances??
If so this is very nice stuff i think!!

Sounds great if it is true.
There is zoning between continents, but apart from that i think it is pretty much seamless. Similar to what WoW(sorry to mention it) does.
And yes, there are instances. I have seen some timed battles where you have to defend against a barrage of mobs for a set time, and that is instanced. And they have said there will be dungeons and alike.
Lol I think they mean there will not be loading screen between zones, ie you will be able to move from zone to zone freely, like in LOTRO, or WOW.
I dont think they mean there will be no INSTANCES (as in group instances/dungeons/whatever).
~Awesome Tr!x
Well gotta see what they will come up with!
very excited about this game!!
You are exactly right. There is a difference between a game being instanced and a game having instances.
Games with no instances in terms of dungeons and raids end up excluding people from content because only the amazing guilds end up killing the world bosses and content. Basically you dont want world instancing but you do want dungeon instancing.
