I'm not making an entire judgement call on this game from this one video, in fact the other ones I've seen kind of put me in the action game mindset. Maybe some of you could show me in more detail what this game offers?
No, because we don't give a shit if you play the game or not. We'll be playing it, not here to convince easy-mode scrubs to play our game.
Thats funny, Someone actually asks for more information and you call them "easy mode scrubs" . Love the TERA community so far. Plus, easy mode scrubs? Please, from this video you just run around and execute the same 4 skills over and over again, then herd the mobs and repeat. You can keep it. Enjoy.
Well for one thing, there is no mana pots in tera. zip, zero, none.
There are mana pots in Tera, although you are limited to carying 20 at a time.
Really Bygeorge? That one must have slipped by me or they don't use them much.

This is a lvl 20 "TUTORIAL" video.If you want to check actual gameplay, feel free to watch a normal gameplay video instead.For the most of us its 10000 times better than any other stand afk and use 1-2-3 MMO.

That would make sense. I've watched a few other class videos... I liked the slayer and the sorcerer seemed pretty cool... one thing I'm kind of hazy on is mana regen. In the berserker video it looks like he was popping mana potions, but in the slayer he regained mana through attacks... while the sorcerer seemed to gain it slightly over time...
The others definitely looked more action-ish then this one. Hopefully I'll get my hands on it before release. I was hoping this would be more of a fantasy version of DC Universe, it may not be too far away from that combat system. I'm definitely interested in seeing more.
Every class regens's mana differently. They have changed it a lot from FGT testing back in march to what we see today in the stress test. But I will try to explain it with as few errors as possable ;P
Berserker & Slayer :
These 2 classes lose mana out of combat, They build mana by using there standard attack. (they do get a skill that will regen 100mp but that's not a lot, or they can use a pot but there is a limit to how many you can carry).
Sorcerer, Mystic, & Priest:
They regen mana out of combat. During combat they have to use a skill in order to regen mp (or use said pot as stated above).
Lancer:
They regen mana out of combat also and they can regen mana in combat by using there standard attack skill.
Archer:
I think their mana regen system works the same as the Lancer but I'm not sure.
Kinda confusing yea I know, but this is how most action games are set-up when it comes to game play.

Positioning is obviously important for this class. You've got a slow, heavy hitting, miss penalizing weapon, so it's prolly good to calmly dictate the battle instead of running around like a madman.
Did you see the boar's behavior tho? Actively flanking the blocking zerker, but only when he is stationary and blocks. I hope this is just a small example of this kind of mob behavior.
In any case, the way things are shaping, I wouldn't mind this game being a little grindy (as if any MMO isn't), because the grind may be fun. As long as we have other things to break on, it'll be fine.
to enjoy a mmo we don't need raids.period, we need nice content and get fun,
this game interface proves by its own its top quality turning pvp in a fantastic adventure,
i remember wow old days with +20 players raiding and how much i hated , always care bear people asking for loot before we did bosses, people afk, bad players or noobs.
Raids are made for very well organized guilds of non real lifers , and I'm not one of those
Thanks for the clarification stayontarget, that makes more sense, it just seemed strange to me watching each video because it seemed in every instance that I watched of these classes, mana played a very heavy part on the flow of combat.
I'm interested in trying out a few of the classes. I love action games, especially those with planned attack chains and/or combos.
As for mob AI, not sure what to expect, what I'd want to see is a few repeated instances of combat with different mobs to see what the scope is of the AI and if it is a static system or if each mob is built in relation to a specific power set.
For example, the boar would flank when blocking, but say, a giant lizard would try a different tactic like trying to break a block or gain distance. Not sure how Tera is touting their AI though.
The more videos I watch about this game the more and more it starts to look like an asian grindfest with a new aiming system. Combat looks the same as any other MMO you have your 1-9 action bar buttons you just have an FPS style aiming reticle you have to keep on target. And reading about the different classes on the official site they seem like they will be missing something. Not sure what it is but I dont think this game will be as good as people think.
Said the ignorant troll.
Its funny how people take such serious offense when some one else doesnt like the game they do and express their feelings about it. So I get insulted because I think this game is lacking. Really goes to show how mature gamers are today, disagree with something and your automatically ignorant because you have an opionion and your a troll if you join a discussion and express it. What a sad day and age this has become.

Your right, Mana will play a big role in combat. Some classes more than others so you got to take that into account when choosing which class to play.
From feedback during stress test they say that mob AI was very basic for the low lvl area's but they started to notice a difference in AI tactics at around lvl 17-20 (flanking, dodging, sidestepping). That's about the time you start seeing more group content area's in the open world.

I really do pitty you skoupidi..
Ok then just give a link or something with some evidence about the game being an "asian grindfest" as you keep saying.
I dont know what you expect from combat, but having to dodge,block,parry manually is a big step forward.Or you can just go back to afk button smashing if thats what you like.I dont know where your info is coming from, but i havent found any list with complete character skills yet.Since in their official site there is only a basic overview of each class and some of their skills.
If you just dont like the game keep away from this games threads.Or atleast bring in some argument, not just fluffy air troll talking.
Really awsome video. Can't see why people are liking Rift more than this game. I guess they aren't so burned out of the old combat systems as most of us are.
It's the races of TERA that makes me doubt the game. The "new" combat system might be good, but I have seen Darkfall turn from combat heaven into Harry Potter Online.
The vid looks nice, beserker is an interesting option as I will abandon being a healer when choosing TERA as my mmo.
The more videos I watch about this game the more and more it starts to look like an asian grindfest it's funny how racist like throw that one around. with a >>>new aiming system. >Combat looks the same as any other MMO< you have your 1-9 action bar buttons you just have an FPS style aiming reticle you have to keep on target. <<< Way to contradict yourself, gratz. And reading about the different classes on the official site they seem like they will be missing something. Right... but obviously you can't say what. The classes are awesome & if there's one thing that could be considered missing is a better character creation tool, that's it. Not sure what it is but I dont think this game will be as good as people think. Go back drooling over rift please.

You do like to talk through your arse do you... You ARE ignorant & you ARE a troll. You can't back anything you say but with crap. You even contradict yourself in trying to find something to moan about ffs. Now be gone.
I really do pitty you skoupidi.. You really think he or anyone should care?
If you like the same old same old tab targeting with static combat you already know where to find it.
Everyone that I know of that tryed this combat system loved it & say its fun, refreshing & engaging... Have fun trying to prove otherwise.

I'm sorry but posting such things as "asian grindfest" when you clearly have done 0 research on the game and watching a video that clearly has nothing to do with the leveling technique while trying to relate them just to post something negative make you both ignorant and a troll. Just a heads up thank you very much.
Hey StayonTarget when you were playing did you ever feel the need for add-ons? I ask because I hope that this game will not be mod/addon friendly.
I haven't played it yet
There are only around 200-300 ppl in the FGT's and CB has not started yet. And I don't feel like going through the hoops just to try it in Korea....So I'll wait and try to get into the CB or OB here in NA.
Most of the people that have tried it made ALT's just because each class feels so different and they wanted to try them out. I think the most you can make total per account is 8, not sure what the limit will be for NA/EU servers.

Watch the vidceos and tell me they dont look like every other grinder out there. And who cares about actual skills in game if you again watch the vids you can clearly see they use the same action bar set up as everyone else. The only real difference is the aiming reticle and manual dodge and block. Now if you pay any attention the the actual videos it shows that a beserker an actual dps class can block attacks and take no damage so what is the point of making a tank? which was my point in the first place the classes seem lacking, mainly because there is not any real reason to roll one or the other. Other than to have a different name to your class. If a dpser can block just as well as a tank why even have classes?
So instead of throwing out insults like some ADHD baby watch the vids and you will see everthing i just mentioned. And read the official sites description of the warrior a dual weilding light armor class that tanks by defensive rolling and tell me that sounds cool. What i see with that is a tank jumpin all over the place and the other toons in group chasing a mob around missing left and right because they cant keep the creature in their aiming reticles.
I have read all the official site has to offer and i have watched many vids because I hoped this would be different but its not. I see all the same crap you get in a typical Asian grinder accept for the combat but with the current set up even that is lacking. It may be a step forward but like many others with innovative ideas they just didnt get it right, so some one else hopefully will.
p.s the beginning of this thread has a link to a vidoe or did you not watch it?

Alright so lets try this, why dont you do the same thing and find some information out there that proves me wrong. You cant so again like stated before i came here like everyone else to express my opinion. If you dont like it so what I dont care but when you stoop to insulting some one because their OPINION is different than yours and you start calling names like Racists and Trolls you truly do deserve pity for your own ignorance. So because this game resembles the rest of the GRINDERS that come from ASIA and i simply say it looks like the rest of the ASIAN GRINDERS i am a racists LOL you guys really do need to get out of the basement and breathe some fresh air.
I could really care less if my post convinces any one of anything I am simply utilizing these forums for what they are designed for. To express my opinion simply because it doesnt match yours in no way makes me a racist or a troll. Grow up really.

Once again ignorant comments from a troll like you. First of all i watched the "Korean Version" vids and all i can say is that i like the artstyle and graphics. If you dont like them, you can just pass. Second, why is it so bad that a Berserker can block with his axe? If you actually had a clue, you would know that Berserkers use heavy armor and have offtank abilities like taunting etc...And their block reduces the dmg taken by 75%.
Slayer and warriors have dodge,berserker has weapon block and lancer has shield block.The thing is that the boss encounters require melee dps characters to actually move to evade their strong attacks.Once more if you like afk button smashing combat, there are tons of games out the for you.
If you think that warrior dodge tanking is stupid, this game isnt for.Question: if he just keeps "dodge kiting" as you think, how is he going to keep the aggro on him?Once again, if you prefer afk dodging/blocking go play something else.
I dont think you did any actual reading research on this game.Like its political system for example and how it affects the whole gaming expierence for everyone.
I watched this "walkthrough video" for about 5-6 times.I still cant see your point.
Im not going to answer you comment about the classes being similar to each other. You proved youself an ignorant troll once more.
The more videos I watch about this game the more and more it starts to look like an asian grindfest with a new aiming system.

Watch the vidceos and tell me they dont look like every other grinder out there.
The videos clearly show the combat between a player and a monster, nothing else. How you made the connection to a grinder is beyond me.
And who cares about actual skills in game if you again watch the vids you can clearly see they use the same action bar set up as everyone else. The only real difference is the aiming reticle and manual dodge and block.
An MMO is using hotbars...We are doomed! If you don't like hotbars then you better not consider the MMO gaming anymore. The difference in this MMO IS the aiming reticle and the manual dodge and block. This is what it does different than other MMOs and it is as far as a game can go when talking about the combat aspect. Maybe you think they should use chips that are injected in our brains so we can finally play an MMO without a hotbar? It sounds good I know. Might take some time before we see something like this tho.
Now if you pay any attention the the actual videos it shows that a beserker an actual dps class can block attacks and take no damage so what is the point of making a tank? which was my point in the first place the classes seem lacking, mainly because there is not any real reason to roll one or the other. Other than to have a different name to your class. If a dpser can block just as well as a tank why even have classes?
DO SOME GOD DAMN RESEARCH. The berserker is not a tanking class. The ONLY tanking abilities they got is an AoE taunt with a BIG cooldown and a blocking skill which reduces damages taken by 75% and has a chance at failing to do so. Take WoW for example, just because a rogue has an evasion skill on 5min cd DOES NOT mean it can tank a fucking boss. A berserker can only attempt to tank when say the tank dies and again you are pretty much fucked.
So instead of throwing out insults like some ADHD baby watch the vids and you will see everthing i just mentioned.

Congrats, you just made an opinion of the class out of a minute-length video, or should I say of the whole game? Again, the one who needs to read the discriptions and search some info is you. The tanking classes are 2, the lancer who relies on head-to-head combat and blocking and the warrior who excells at dodging and is highly fragile. A berserker is able to tank a mob woohoo, I can tank a mob with my priest in WoW for 5 minutes! I'm a tank! Sense much? I know it doesn't sound logical to me either.
I have read all the official site has to offer and i have watched many vids because I hoped this would be different but its not.

You have read one description and watched 5 vids at maximum and already judge the game down-right. Yet, I'm asking you, how come every professional journalist on conventions, or someone who tested the korean beta has nothing but positive things to say about the combat and the game? Unless you like to be proven wrong every time why don't you simply stop posting since the things you have to say hold no base at all.

Lancers block is very different than the Berserkers block. Lancer can bock attacks not only from stright ahead but also from a slight angle from him, Berserkers can only block attacks from stright ahead.
Lancer midigate's damge taken from anyone standing behind him, berserkers do not. So in other words Berserkers cannot tank.
Warrior's dodge is immune to damage, whereby Slayers can take damage during his dodge.
Skillbar is only on the screen so you can keep track of your cool downs. Skill delivery is still using mouse buttons and keyboard buttons like you find in any mmo.

You do like to talk through your arse do you... You ARE ignorant & you ARE a troll. You can't back anything you say but with crap. You even contradict yourself in trying to find something to moan about ffs. Now be gone.
I really do pitty you skoupidi.. You really think he or anyone should care?
If you like the same old same old tab targeting with static combat you already know where to find it.
Everyone that I know of that tryed this combat system loved it & say its fun, refreshing & engaging... Have fun trying to prove otherwise.
Alright so lets try this, why dont you do the same thing and find some information out there that proves me wrong. You cant so again like stated before i came here like everyone else to express my opinion. If you dont like it so what I dont care but when you stoop to insulting some one because their OPINION is different than yours and you start calling names like Racists and Trolls you truly do deserve pity for your own ignorance. So because this game resembles the rest of the GRINDERS that come from ASIA and i simply say it looks like the rest of the ASIAN GRINDERS i am a racists LOL you guys really do need to get out of the basement and breathe some fresh air.
I could really care less if my post convinces any one of anything I am simply utilizing these forums for what they are designed for. To express my opinion simply because it doesnt match yours in no way makes me a racist or a troll. Grow up really.
If you actually want to post an opinion about any game in any forum,where other people can read and answer, you need to have to back it up with actual facts.
You are just attacking the game for no reason other than "i dont like it".And you dig up flaws that dont even exist.
Sorry but we cant read your mind, you have to provide us with actual facts about the features you dont like in this game.We, on the other hand care more for NOT having you in the TERA community.

There are mana pots in Tera, although you are limited to carying 20 at a time.
Thats funny, Someone actually asks for more information and you call them "easy mode scrubs" . Love the TERA community so far. Plus, easy mode scrubs? Please, from this video you just run around and execute the same 4 skills over and over again, then herd the mobs and repeat. You can keep it. Enjoy.
Really Bygeorge? That one must have slipped by me or they don't use them much.

This is a lvl 20 "TUTORIAL" video.If you want to check actual gameplay, feel free to watch a normal gameplay video instead.For the most of us its 10000 times better than any other stand afk and use 1-2-3 MMO.
That would make sense. I've watched a few other class videos... I liked the slayer and the sorcerer seemed pretty cool... one thing I'm kind of hazy on is mana regen. In the berserker video it looks like he was popping mana potions, but in the slayer he regained mana through attacks... while the sorcerer seemed to gain it slightly over time...
The others definitely looked more action-ish then this one. Hopefully I'll get my hands on it before release. I was hoping this would be more of a fantasy version of DC Universe, it may not be too far away from that combat system. I'm definitely interested in seeing more.
Every class regens's mana differently. They have changed it a lot from FGT testing back in march to what we see today in the stress test. But I will try to explain it with as few errors as possable ;P
Berserker & Slayer :
These 2 classes lose mana out of combat, They build mana by using there standard attack. (they do get a skill that will regen 100mp but that's not a lot, or they can use a pot but there is a limit to how many you can carry).
Sorcerer, Mystic, & Priest:
They regen mana out of combat. During combat they have to use a skill in order to regen mp (or use said pot as stated above).
Lancer:
They regen mana out of combat also and they can regen mana in combat by using there standard attack skill.
Archer:
I think their mana regen system works the same as the Lancer but I'm not sure.
Kinda confusing yea I know, but this is how most action games are set-up when it comes to game play.

Positioning is obviously important for this class. You've got a slow, heavy hitting, miss penalizing weapon, so it's prolly good to calmly dictate the battle instead of running around like a madman.
Did you see the boar's behavior tho? Actively flanking the blocking zerker, but only when he is stationary and blocks. I hope this is just a small example of this kind of mob behavior.
In any case, the way things are shaping, I wouldn't mind this game being a little grindy (as if any MMO isn't), because the grind may be fun. As long as we have other things to break on, it'll be fine.
dude, the only place i made big laughs its the noob comics on net , but this post its something....
to enjoy a mmo we don't need raids.period, we need nice content and get fun,
this game interface proves by its own its top quality turning pvp in a fantastic adventure,
i remember wow old days with +20 players raiding and how much i hated , always care bear people asking for loot before we did bosses, people afk, bad players or noobs.
Raids are made for very well organized guilds of non real lifers , and I'm not one of those
Thanks for the clarification stayontarget, that makes more sense, it just seemed strange to me watching each video because it seemed in every instance that I watched of these classes, mana played a very heavy part on the flow of combat.
I'm interested in trying out a few of the classes. I love action games, especially those with planned attack chains and/or combos.
As for mob AI, not sure what to expect, what I'd want to see is a few repeated instances of combat with different mobs to see what the scope is of the AI and if it is a static system or if each mob is built in relation to a specific power set.
For example, the boar would flank when blocking, but say, a giant lizard would try a different tactic like trying to break a block or gain distance. Not sure how Tera is touting their AI though.
Its funny how people take such serious offense when some one else doesnt like the game they do and express their feelings about it. So I get insulted because I think this game is lacking. Really goes to show how mature gamers are today, disagree with something and your automatically ignorant because you have an opionion and your a troll if you join a discussion and express it. What a sad day and age this has become.
I really do pitty you skoupidi..
Your right, Mana will play a big role in combat. Some classes more than others so you got to take that into account when choosing which class to play.
From feedback during stress test they say that mob AI was very basic for the low lvl area's but they started to notice a difference in AI tactics at around lvl 17-20 (flanking, dodging, sidestepping). That's about the time you start seeing more group content area's in the open world.

Ok then just give a link or something with some evidence about the game being an "asian grindfest" as you keep saying.
I dont know what you expect from combat, but having to dodge,block,parry manually is a big step forward.Or you can just go back to afk button smashing if thats what you like.I dont know where your info is coming from, but i havent found any list with complete character skills yet.Since in their official site there is only a basic overview of each class and some of their skills.
If you just dont like the game keep away from this games threads.Or atleast bring in some argument, not just fluffy air troll talking.
It's the races of TERA that makes me doubt the game. The "new" combat system might be good, but I have seen Darkfall turn from combat heaven into Harry Potter Online.
The vid looks nice, beserker is an interesting option as I will abandon being a healer when choosing TERA as my mmo.
If you like the same old same old tab targeting with static combat you already know where to find it.
Everyone that I know of that tryed this combat system loved it & say its fun, refreshing & engaging... Have fun trying to prove otherwise.
I'm sorry but posting such things as "asian grindfest" when you clearly have done 0 research on the game and watching a video that clearly has nothing to do with the leveling technique while trying to relate them just to post something negative make you both ignorant and a troll. Just a heads up thank you very much.
Hey StayonTarget when you were playing did you ever feel the need for add-ons? I ask because I hope that this game will not be mod/addon friendly.
I haven't played it yet
There are only around 200-300 ppl in the FGT's and CB has not started yet. And I don't feel like going through the hoops just to try it in Korea....So I'll wait and try to get into the CB or OB here in NA.
Most of the people that have tried it made ALT's just because each class feels so different and they wanted to try them out. I think the most you can make total per account is 8, not sure what the limit will be for NA/EU servers.

Watch the vidceos and tell me they dont look like every other grinder out there. And who cares about actual skills in game if you again watch the vids you can clearly see they use the same action bar set up as everyone else. The only real difference is the aiming reticle and manual dodge and block. Now if you pay any attention the the actual videos it shows that a beserker an actual dps class can block attacks and take no damage so what is the point of making a tank? which was my point in the first place the classes seem lacking, mainly because there is not any real reason to roll one or the other. Other than to have a different name to your class. If a dpser can block just as well as a tank why even have classes?
So instead of throwing out insults like some ADHD baby watch the vids and you will see everthing i just mentioned. And read the official sites description of the warrior a dual weilding light armor class that tanks by defensive rolling and tell me that sounds cool. What i see with that is a tank jumpin all over the place and the other toons in group chasing a mob around missing left and right because they cant keep the creature in their aiming reticles.
I have read all the official site has to offer and i have watched many vids because I hoped this would be different but its not. I see all the same crap you get in a typical Asian grinder accept for the combat but with the current set up even that is lacking. It may be a step forward but like many others with innovative ideas they just didnt get it right, so some one else hopefully will.
p.s the beginning of this thread has a link to a vidoe or did you not watch it?

Once again ignorant comments from a troll like you. First of all i watched the "Korean Version" vids and all i can say is that i like the artstyle and graphics. If you dont like them, you can just pass. Second, why is it so bad that a Berserker can block with his axe? If you actually had a clue, you would know that Berserkers use heavy armor and have offtank abilities like taunting etc...And their block reduces the dmg taken by 75%.
Slayer and warriors have dodge,berserker has weapon block and lancer has shield block.The thing is that the boss encounters require melee dps characters to actually move to evade their strong attacks.Once more if you like afk button smashing combat, there are tons of games out the for you.
If you think that warrior dodge tanking is stupid, this game isnt for.Question: if he just keeps "dodge kiting" as you think, how is he going to keep the aggro on him?Once again, if you prefer afk dodging/blocking go play something else.
I dont think you did any actual reading research on this game.Like its political system for example and how it affects the whole gaming expierence for everyone.
I watched this "walkthrough video" for about 5-6 times.I still cant see your point.
Im not going to answer you comment about the classes being similar to each other. You proved youself an ignorant troll once more.
Lancers block is very different than the Berserkers block. Lancer can bock attacks not only from stright ahead but also from a slight angle from him, Berserkers can only block attacks from stright ahead.
Lancer midigate's damge taken from anyone standing behind him, berserkers do not. So in other words Berserkers cannot tank.
Warrior's dodge is immune to damage, whereby Slayers can take damage during his dodge.
Skillbar is only on the screen so you can keep track of your cool downs. Skill delivery is still using mouse buttons and keyboard buttons like you find in any mmo.
