this game will work for asians but not for the europeans
According to what i've seen
Game is uber grind..
No pvp at all.
i did watch a streaming for 30/40 min but its only grind grind grind mobs.
no factions.. no racial war pvp it seems to be only 1v1 duels or FFA..
the combat looks on the other hand very intresting.. but i think most of people will not go for this game.
Archage looks more promising to me

Thanks for displaying a complete lack of knowledge. Enjoy whatever crap MMO you go to!
The OP must have watch vieos of the wrong game, that's all I can say..lol
This game has no grind, you can get to max lvl in 3-4 weeks, one of the reasons why the Korean population doesn't like the game, it's to easy for them .
No Pvp at all ? This game is all about the PVP, with the Political system trust me it makes people hate their rulers..lol

Yes you are correct this game has no factions, it's FFA guild/clan wars to see who can rule. But I guess you don't like that kind of PVP, which is fair enough.
As for Arche Age, that game is FFA guild/can wars as well, actually in that game your neighbour could gank you just out of fun, but you just compained that you don't like that kinda PVP, so I guess I am kinda confused as to what your saying...lol
I agree, this game is too easy. No real sense of accomplishment.
Asian games hardly work for Europeans and Americans anymore. One can just look at the Asian titles released in west and compare them to amount of players playing in Asia. For me the biggest turn off is the way they design armors, weapons. Not to mention annoying 'Street Fighter' kind of sharp sounds everytime they hit someting or get hit.
wrong wrong and more wrong!
The asian community dont like Tera as its too westernized for their tastes, this game will do better over here than in asia.
There is pvp, battlegrounds and a political systme that lets guilds take over territories
what mmo is not uber grind?
no factions lets the player choose his side and not have their mind made up for them!
well japanese and korean games are very different are they not? Lineage 2 is far better than games like world of warcraft and rift.
Well as an American I can say that I care way more about the combat and pvp of a game than the "story" that I never actually read because who really plays games to read text or listen to boring voiceovers?
I play MMOs to kill things, mainly other players. The only other game that looks like it requires 1/2 the skill that tera does in pvp is GW2. I'll honestly probably play both at the same time. Playing Tera when I feel like leveling up/grinding and world pvp, and GW2 when I want constructed/coordinated pvp.
I also really like the art style of Tera, minus some of the uber huge weapons (which isn't a to much of a turn off). I've played a lot of the FF titles and think that the newer ones (FF7 and up) have the perfect art for me. Big weapons, but generally not larger than the actual characters.
Another thing is I can't believe people are actually complaining because the female characters are hot. I have to look at enough ugly people in real life, I'd rather look at pretty things in game (besides the creatures I'm killing obviously). If I wanted to see some fat grotesque creatures I'll stroll down to the local McDonalds or Walmart.
1. Which is not very much
2. Grind? what grind. I have been playing on the Korean servers for 3 weeks now and I'm already lv45. Could have even been faster if I choose not to solo so much.
3. There is PKing but the mechanics to do so kinda sucks, should be better when the add server battles and guild battles in the future.
Velika: City of Wheels: Among the mortal races, the humans were the only one that never built cities or great empires; a curse laid upon them by their creator, Gidd, forced them to wander as nomads for twenty centuries...
I think that FFXI and Lienage 2 were last of its kind. No other Asian titles can even come close to their popularity in west. Nope not even Tera.
Looks like PVP to me :-)
The number of moving players on screen while maintaing fluid motion and vis-fx is pretty impressive. It's one of the first I've seen that didn't look like a lag-fest.
I watched TotalBiscuit's recent hands-on review of Tera and I just couldn't get past the Disney-esque little animal thing character he used for the play through. It really bothered me. I kept thinking it would break into song if it ever came across another cute little Disney character. I had the same revulsion towards FFXIV's ugly little child thing race. I just thought they were going overboard with making them cutesy and huggable. I know it's an eastern aesthetic thing, but I find it really disagreeable. That's personal taste for you.
The mechanics of the game looked pretty smooth and fun to play. The politics idea sounds really interesting too. But I just can't take the risk that one day I'll come face to face with Bambi and Thumper and end up having to slaughter them. I don't think I would ever recover from the psychological damage so I just can't risk it.
I also watched his review, and found it to be promising. If this game ever gets released I will, however, make it a point to slaughter every cute animal I come acrossed. I plan on playing either Human or one of the Giant/dragonish races (whatever the two big races are).

^ good to hear
Wut? Since when is FFA not PvP?
Actually the game isn't working for asians either.. there have already been 2 rounds of server merges.
It's odd, the combat looks fun... but I guess the game isn't.
Remember Old School Ultima Online
Speak for yourself.
I was really looking forward to this game until they did the Americanization, it totaly ruined it for me.
Lot of people here who have played at least a little it seems...
So here's my question. In what way is this game not like every carbon-copy Asian "action MMO" I've played out there? (Aion, L, L2, everything made by Perfect World, everything made by Nexon....)
Not saying this as a challenge. I actually would like to know if there's anything that sets it apart. Yes I've heard the talk of a deeper story. I heard that about Aion too. And yes I've seen the pretty animations, and the 327 different races, some of which do feel uinique. But...gameplay wise, what's there that stands out? I don't want to walk into another Perfect World or Aion. Another "Asian MMO built for the Western Market, totally new and different!" that feels100% the same.
Graphics - Check
Combat - Check
Appeals to Eastern and Western styles - Check
End Game Content - ????
Frankly there is an unacceptable amount of endgame content. Here's what it consists of:
1.) 3x PvE 5 man Dungeons. Necromancer Cell, Other one (forgot the name). Both are 30-45 min dungeons. And Kelsayaku (The huge Griphon. More like a Boss fight with a few adds n stuff before it). There are Easy and Hard mode.
2.) 2x BGs one is an actual BG, other is an Arena.
3.) Political System - kind of~ and BAMs to get points in it. Barely much content here but it causes the next point.
4.) OWPvP - Admittedly it seldom exists, but on servers where people like to PvP, footage indicates it can be quite fun...except the flagging system doesn't do Tera any favors.
Wow, I was pretty sure this list was a bit longer but sadly...no its not. Oh well. Ladies and gents that is Tera endgame in a nutshell. Now you know why they didn't release it in the West yet.

You can elect someone who can turn the zone into FFA, correct? I bet we could get entire servers like that.
@ OP
lol what gives you the right to speak for all of the Europeans?
I've tried the game with my gf and some friends and guess what, we're getting it when it releases in EU...and oh yeah, we're all Europeans :P
