    Makes the post-wipe argument more fun too, I'm sure.

    Instead of blaming the tank blaming the healer and the healer blaming the DPS for stealing aggro and too many adds you get the tank blaming the healer the healer blaming the tank for moving too much.

    Er, i think I see health bars over the mobs in each of the pix, which completely contradict the information given in the preview!?

     

    Did the writer actually play the game? I'm a bit confused.

    I see that a lot of people do not know much about the game besides the combat. 

    1) hp & mp pots: you can only carry 10 in your inventory.

    2) pots that effect stats: you can only carry 3 in your inventory.

    3) all mmo's have grind (get over it because it's true).  Tera will have grind of some kind, I just hope it involves combat....because it's a blast.

    If you play it or not is up to you and for your own reasons.  Will Tera be good ?  I have no idea but there headed in the right direction so far IMO.

    lol this is while I was formerly a dedicated healer in every game for years, I gave that up.  Certainly, I have been to blame before when a group wipes, but after years of healing I can assure you 9.9 times out of 10 it wasn't my fault.

    i was excited to play this game. it looks awesome. i know the news has been out for a while, but i just learned that it was sapposed to be lineage 3 and was stolen from ncsoft. so... screw this game. its bs, it would have been better being lineage 3.

    Where are you getting your info from? I smell a troll.

    Anyway the game looks great and the targeting systems would add a new feel to the normal tab target combat in MMO's.  I agree that Asian based games are usually grindy but this group of devs seems to be worried about making an impression and have already made a lot of changes to make the game more westernized.  I'm interested to see PVP and casters more but if nothing else learning to dodge an enemies attack sounds like fun!

  • ZookzZookz Member Posts: 244

    Ever time I see things about this game I get more excited to play it. Then the crushing reality that it is a Korean port undergoing "westernization" hits me. I simply do not trust Korean MMOs. I hope Tera proves me wrong.

    Stolen is such a harsh word. I wouldn't say they "stole" it. I'd say...they had creative differences and took what was rightfully theirs. They built it, they made it...it's theirs.

    "yawn"-reading what the OP has to say sounds like an advertisment for the game-I really wasn't impressed with what was said about the game.

  • MyskMysk Member Posts: 982

    So far, so good. Looking forward to it.

  • HyanmenHyanmen Member UncommonPosts: 5,357

    I'm sure the combat is fun- but  are they going to ride with that feature alone? MMORPG's are more than just combat- possibly more than the sum of it's parts. Hopefully they won't neglect other features and focus on just one or two.

    Using LOL is like saying "my argument sucks but I still want to disagree".

    Only time will tell, however if you have been following closely with the game you will see that they already mentioned that Tera in the west will be worked from scratch all the way up when it comes to character progress to make sure the leveling is quest based and goes through a story that is deep and full of mixed emotions that are enough to get the player hooked up with the story line. so for a start, and as long as they have learned alot from past mmo's mistakes, I am sure this will go pretty good.

    I previously stated in prior posts that I would be trying TERA. I completely remove that post here and am now boycotting TERA. I may just be one player but thats 15$ a month they wont see from me or any of my friends.

    If they werent such shady people and didnt steal coding from NcSoft (Lineage III) then I would of kept my word of playing this title. Whether they worked on it or not.. It wasn't theirs to take and they got imprisoned from 1 1/2 years over that. If they can steal from their employers then I will only assume they will steal from their community. Boycott them.

    Oh well, none of us care what you think anyway. I am sure there is more to the story then we know and personally, I couldn't careless about NCsoft. They would have ruined the game far worse then anyone else could.

     And Im pretty sure no one cares what you think as well. This game is already LOSING hype. Good run.. Game isnt even going to be released for months and already losing fans <3. Read before you pay. When they ninja your money and give you crap but a bankrupt company then remember I LOL'ed at you.

     I think you are missing one point here friend, NCsoft have sucked the Blood of many mmo players out there, the core developers of Lineage 3 ARE THE SAME ONES MAKING TERA.

    Now put yourself in the same position and imagine....Lineage = no go..CANCELLED you are the code developer, but it does not belong to you, company sacks you, you see your coding being buried in the dust, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO DO???

    To be honest regardless of morality, if it was my work i will use it, espicially when it comes in dealing with vampires like NCsoft who hungers for nothing but YOUR MONEY!!

  • WizardryWizardry Member LegendaryPosts: 19,332

    One very important issue with this game is how wil llatency affect it?We can't judge mechanics playing at some comic con with a latency of 0-15.Are localized players going to have a MUCH easier time dodging and making use of timing?

    This is the reason i enjoy a simple no fail target lock system,also the faster the combat the easier it will be to notice latency issues.

    I was happy to hear mention of holding hate ect ect,it makes me feel liek there is some potential for this game as far as grouping mechanics are concerned.I was worried about this because all i saw early on were videos of solo players fighting several mobs at the same time,it made me think this was going to be some easy/mode cheap form of solo game.

    Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

    I'll have no hesitation in trying this game..  Combat sounds great..  I'll agree about the oversized weapons though..  They spoil it a bit..
