    I have to go with the poster above, I just don't like the "asian" art. Played Aion, but I just could'nt force myself to like it.

     

    Also, I don't like the races much and I think the Lancer class is ridiculous. Who uses a horsemans lance on foot? Had they called him "Pikeman" and given the class footmans weapons like pikes, Longspears etc. I could've accepted it.

     

    I will pass on this one, even though the combat-system looks interesting and smooth.

    Thanks, looks great. I'm not a fan of too much fluff tho so I'll go with Amani female that looks a bit more "brutal". Problem solved. This is gonna be the hit of 2011 for sure.

    I am torn between pro's and con's myself.

    Pro's: amazing grapics, manual aiming / dodging, fast paced combat, immersive world.

    Con's: unrealistic things such as female running animations, panda bears, kids with weapons three times their own size.

    Will be a hard call. :)

    It all comes down to game mechanics and world layout for me I think.

    have to agree the lancer class is obscenely ridiculous :)

     

    Liked the majority of what I saw in there though I'm just not sure I can play a FPS style MMO,  if I want FPS I'll play a FPS I expect a bit more chilled out lock on play from my MMO's as you generally play them for much longer periods of time.

    I HOPE this game is what Aion should have been to me.

    u mean no end content,grind 24/7,lagfest even with top net speed,false vids that "they want to put in future",crapy support,ban innocent,no pvp skills need only god mode gear? well then believe me TERA is NOT WHAT aion IS,SHOULD be

    Hmm I'd be inclined to agree with the guy you responded to.  I'm not saying tis 100% a render but there is a clear shift in overall quality part way through the video, the latter part certainly looks real and untouched to me but certainly the earlier bits are far more pristine.

     

    0-1:40ish looks pristine after that has a real loss in quality.

    Anime, lolita-figures and loads of shinies.

    It is quite obvious. it is there style of creating hype though. Remember Aion 2.0 and FFXIV videos?

    Who could have thought that WOW could bring super power like USA to its knees?

    Im picking on WoW btw because its the beast that made all of this possible

    The upskirt shots, the lolicon aspects and the 'required' emo'ed visages aside, I look forward to this with anticipation. Some folks have said 'L3' and if it is, I welcome it (as long as they remove the grindfest that L2 originally had.)

     

    This games looks good and I WILL play it unless there is some major game breaker in place when it releases.

    It's not L3. Lineage 3 will be announced in january 2011.

    I somewhat agree with the grindfest part but MMOs need longevity and certain amount of grind is only good. What makes it boring is if the gameplay is otherwise shallow and simplified.

    My biggest concern with TERA is the westernization and who, and how it'll be done. Aion was a major let down because it has bad aspects from both korean grinder and western themepark, and I believe this was due to bad localisation.

    So, does anyone have know about this matter? Post here please.

    Westernization will be made mainly with these additions:
    -less grind and redundant tasks
    -more quest
    -pvp and pve separate servers with different rulesets
    -new lore
    -new storyline

    This is the only things they will change i guess because Tera, as BHS already explained, is developed to be international ready from the beginning, so no much changes between west and east are needed. For this reason i expect a Q2 west release.

    Oh and speaking in general please stop the Aion antics and asian art style QQ, if you don't like the concept simply go play another game, Tera is not for all and wont be for all. The comunity is already big and hyped, korean servers are fullfilled with more than 300 000 players and the number will grow up more and more, i expect the same result for the west Open Beta too.

    You got me all wrong :)

    I have nothing against asian art style. On the contrary, I've played lots of Final Fantasys and looking forward to L3, but I fear the westernization process is what ruins these games for us. I would very much like if we had an option to play on translated korean style server in NA/EU.

    Can anyone tell me why in almost all anime the good guys are white people, and the villains are asian?

    You can change the skin, eyes, hair, etc... of your avatar if you like. Customization is very well made and detailed.

    Yes, obviously not open beta footage.  Should change the subject title.

    hehe...me too.  I want to anticipate it, but I've never been able to look past that. However if they can. which they never will, clean it up or dirty it up for westerners, then I'd be more inclined to appreciate it.

    I havent followed this game at all until I took a look at it yesterday. I skimmed through the first 3 pages of threads, watched a couple of videos. Some of the effects look excellent for an MMO, such as the blowing red sand in one of the desert areas in an older video. The combat looks a little more challenging with the targeting system. Not sure what to make of it quite yet. This video was jumping all over the place every second and I found it impossible to decipher what was a cut scene versus actual game play. Anyway, its just too early for me to tell whether this is something that would take people away from what SWTOR or GW2 may offer. I need to learn more and see more constant gameplay of recent builds.

    I'm not a big fan of running around as a panda. Too child like, but as long as there are other options thats not a game stopper for me.

    There Is Always Hope!

  • There are 7 races to choose from, so if you don't like a race you can puck up another that fit better your tastes. Also every race can be every class so the choice is 7x6 = 42 combinations, both male and female, plus the customization that is very well done.
