So what if it has awesome graphic? Any other new generation MMOs that are out or developing have it too...

To be honest even when the video is showing all sort of classes, all I see if everyone single one of them is doing the same thing - hack & slash -_-

EDIT: Compared to this, Nexon's Vindictus seems much better

Next generation? Show me a game that's like ./HACK (the anime), then that will be next generation. o;

[SlowBro]

They spent a load of money and time on this project. Supposedly many improvements will be made over the korean version which had no endgame(?). Been keeping my eye on it for awhile and I hope to get into CB. :>

News - Tera Europe

It starts this weekend. PM me for a key if you want to give it a go.

[Tiane]

This needs a new thread since this one is so old. Also, NOOOOOOO Roflknife. Why must you be EU!

I wanted to get together with people from these forums ._.


Second thought as of posting this. Going to make a new thread.

Alright, new info out around it. For starters, its scheduled release is in 3 months on May 1st 2012.

This game is absolutely breathtaking. You have not seen a game thus far with such beauty. From the characters, to the monsters, to the spells, to the environment, everything visually will entrance you and bring you into this world.


Alright, TERA online is a 3D 3rd person MMORPG featuring 7 playable races with 8 playable classes. There is no multiple factions in this game, so everyone can speak with everyone, and pvp will be dependent on the server you're on, and your willingness to accept combat.

This game has quite a few features that make it stand out. Amongst them, the top 2 are its combat system, and its political system.

It's combat is exactly what they call it "real action combat", meaning if you don't actually jump out of the way of an attack, you're going to get hit. If you don't hit that block button, you will not block. It has an aiming system that will put a reticle in the center of your screen, and wherever that reticle points, is where your attacks go. Gone are the days of tab targeting and your attacks automatically hitting your targets. This is a truly skill based game.

Second on its highlight list, is it's political system. For the short of it, basically, players control territories inside the countries of the game. You can rule these territories through justice, or tyranny. Leaders have the heavy task of controlling taxes, shops that are open/closed, and so on. They also have to undergo daunting tasks in order to rack up enough points to continue being the leader. It's like the saying goes, with power comes responsibility.

Tera is a PC only game that will give you the option of using a keyboard and mouse, playstation 3 controller, or xbox 360 controller if you should so choose.

They are about to do a beta test this weekend, followed bi-weekly until release afterwards.
Closed Beta Test 1: February 10 – 12
Closed Beta Test 2: February 24 – 26
Closed Beta Test 3: March 9 – 11
Closed Beta Test 4: March 23 – 25
Closed Beta Test 5: April 6 – 8
Open Beta Test: April 19 – 22
Head Start: April 28 – May 1

Pre-order bonuses are:
En Masse exclusive White Stallion Mount
Bonus Equippable Items
Lvl 10 City Wheel Earrings and Lvl 35 Seren's Sand Ring
Access to all Beta Tests
Includes retention of character progress throughout all betas
Early Name Reservation
Create a character and reserve your name before launch
Head Start
Servers open April 28th for pre-order accounts


You can get in on all the beta tests for sure right now by pre-ordering.
You also have a chance at getting in on some of the betas by going TERA Beta Sign-Up - TERA and simply putting in your email address to possibly have a code sent to you.

My suggestion for those who are capable of affording $5, is go to gamestop and put down a pre-order for it to receive a beta code and get to test out the game. You can decide here whether or not you want the game, without having to pay full price on it.

Otherwise you can pre-order the full digital download by going to En Masse Entertainment Store - Welcome

I'll post up some video's that I'm sure will appear starting this weekend. Keep your eye's peeled folks. This game is going to be awesome.

None of that is new news.

Thoughts on the EU "sneak peak" test so far:

Bloody great. The engine is pretty efficient, many computers should be able to play this. It'll also support extremely high end rigs. And my god, does stuff look great. Provided screenshots are with forced AA (about 8x), maxed settings. Note though, that there appears to be a high-res patch and some of the more advanced graphic settings seemed to be locked. Even putting technical worth aside, the art style is fantastic.

Combat is nice. It's not completely seamless, but close enough. There's collision detection, and mobs don't all do that stupid thing where they all aggro you and attack you just for passing by. Quests are pretty standard, with an above average quest here and there. Very polished game. Seems very good so far. Will get into the political system and stuff in the NA CBTs.

[Theosis]

I think it's pretty fun so far, I'm only level 18, but I'm enjoying it. Kind of brings back to how I enjoyed Aion. Just hoping Tera will end up with better endgame.

I like the "money@money" thing when you expand your inventory... Doesn't tell you how much you need >_>

[Tiane]

Yeah I know its not new news. I had made a new thread but it got merged. This thread is too old and the top comments are too negative to really attract many new players. Not many people are going to take into account the post date, they'll just see that everyone above doesn't like it and then close the thread.

We REALLY need an updated thread to be fair to the game, and give players a new sense of what's really happening with the game, and how it plays.
