TERA's New Launch Feature: Improved Early Play
by Scapes.
Tired of games that start you in an out-of-the-way village where the chieftain wants you to collect coconuts in the jungle? TERA's new playable prologue starts you right in the middle of the action: a beachhead under assault by demonic forces. It's not just a cutscene—you'll be fighting big-ass monsters within minutes, learning the controls as you go.
The thrills don't stop when you leave the prologue behind. We've adjusted the storyline quests throughout the first 20 levels to challenge you as they reveal more of TERA's deep lore. The boss monsters in particular got upgrades they can't wait to test out...on you!
Feature at a Glance
Playable Prologue: You become part of a beach landing gone awry. Can you save your allies and prevent a military disaster?
Badder Bosses: New tactics and deadlier attacks from early-level foes. You'll earn those levels.
Quest Variety: Dozens of new quests that take TERA far beyond repetitive "hunt," "gather," and "deliver" tasks, and reveal the world's rich history and cultures.

Just not worth my time anymore.
Excited to give this a shot Thursday.
Man if EME manage to fix the first 1-20 that woudl be amazing, I mean even just to spice thing up a bit be total epic =D Can't wait lol even though i have class at 1pm i'm playing the prologue before going to class XD
Still not being 100% decided on which class to play I will receive the change with open arms.
I hope the mobs truly hurt more in all kinds of ways. It's what people were asking for, no?
L2P TERA combat:
Wow nice to see the Devs respond so quickly. The main complaints I have seen was that it seemed too boring or too "easy" initially and for them to act on that so swiftly makes me want to play. If the Devs can remain consistent on listening to the players and releasing polished content post launch I may actually be picking up TERA.
Can't wait to try it out thursday.
Really looking forward to playing this game.
EME seems to be the real deal.
Agreed. The consensus seemed to be that after 20 things started to pickup so if they can bridge that gap it would be amazing. Plus, maybe I won't have to gather 4-5 mobs on my warrior just to make it interesting lol. I keep getting surprised at EME and how much they have done for TERA over here. I seriously hope they keep it up after launch. Publisher of the year of there was one to give out.
The funny thing is I won't be able to play until the evening on the 19th. I will try to refrain from posting jealousy-driven threads from my phone about how much you all suck
Just not worth my time anymore.
Good for En Masse, I hope the starting areas really deliver.
Don't get me wrong i like the changes, but people should stop dreaming the dream.
All the new shiny stuff introduced is not because of *your* feedback.
The new starting, new skills etc are not due to Westernization but because of the QUEEN OF ARGON Part1 Update from KOREA.

But i also give credit where it is due, we are starting with the latest update, and not some 1 year old remnant. This is really good and EME deserves credit for this one.
Sweeeeeeeet-ness!
There is no new starting on K-Tera so this is pretty much unique over here , unless they introduce the new starting in the Argon Part 2 update. Who knows either way its all shaping up well !

Just saw this. lol i never thought about this possibility
/facepalm lol
The first time I was there I went up following the path to the right. I didn't feel arsed to jump all those platforms lol.
LOL they are real jerks, but it's funny to watch.
exactly that was an optional part of the prologue, you could just walk around it...
Hilarious though....
Playable Prologue: You become part of a beach landing gone awry. Can you save your allies and prevent a military disaster?
Pfft....boring way and completely useless and to top it off.....it will NOT show you how YOU will play the game since the bars are locked, hence you cant set the skills up as you want it.
This could be skipped IMO.
Badder Bosses: New tactics and deadlier attacks from early-level foes. You'll earn those levels.
Erhm.......where?
In OBT I felt as the content were easier then in CBTs......
Could be that I got used to them but eh.....what good did the 30% reduced HP up to 11 do when the mobs are dead before they get to you anyways?
Quest Variety: Dozens of new quests that take TERA far beyond repetitive "hunt," "gather," and "deliver" tasks, and reveal the world's rich history and cultures.
Oooouh.....or not.
Same QS, but "dumbed down" 2 bams instead of 5 in the fun quests......and they ARE easier.... Check the Nagas out and (spoiling) they are WAY easier then the last BAM and he's as hard as the other BAMs were in CBTs...
But ah well..... I'll be playing anyway and have fun with my friends.
What the hell is that prologue besides running back and forth bewteen a couple of npc's and then running of to the 1-10 starting area? Didn't quit get the point of it but maybe i missed something.
WOW,eq2,Vanguard,WAR,LOTRO,AOC,Rift Aion, SWTOR, TERA.
Currently playing GW2.
to set the story i guess :S
just read the latest patch notes for TERA... looks like they even have a functioning cross server dungeon finder system... hey bioware take notes, this is what your game should have looked like at launch... just sayin
And the funny part is that most ppl aI grouped with DIDN'T use the tool.
And the few times I did use it myselfe I was even more sure that it's a bad thing, the ppl rushed thru the instance and the partyleaders had the loot table set to FFA and stopped fighting the last few % left on the bosses and looted right as the bosses died....this hapend in 8/10 runs done with the tool...
Do I need to add that I'm not going to use it anymore?
Cross server is worthless IMO.....
Wow EME... cant believe what are they doing
and dear lord, why are we stuck with frogster, why eme couldnt get both eu and na versions
