Nah, OP your good, this game is utter garbage. You were right to listen to others and not spend a dime on this turd.
People bash TOR for not being MMO enough for them saying its a single player game, well there is even less reason to group in Tera. Your starting HP is insane and mobs dont hurt when they hit. You can basically charge in with your sorcerer stand toe to toe with the mobs blow them to hell and loot the healing motes they drop and run off without a scratch. There is absolutely no need for strategy or skill to play this game. So much for that innovative combat design. I would advise everyone to pass on this one unless your into F2P games that you have to pay a sub for.
Having no fraction and probably No holds bar Open PvP.. this going to be a hard game for the Carebaers. If you dont like to get griefed, you dont like others ingame having power over you, and cant thrive on the challenge of fighint others for dominance, if you are not into twitched based combat, that has more to do with your reflexes and Game setup, sugest a programable mouse like mine ( using a cyborg Rat and g15 logitec keyboard right now) dont have a good rig that gives you High FPS.. the game might not be for you...
Also you cant get frustrated by the grind, because this game is going to be grind friendly....
Its a game for me, but many people like the safty of games like SWTOR that focuses little on your social skills(getting along with others and building a comunity) and more on your single player experince... I find those games boring... I liked Dark souls better then Skyrim (skryim still a great game) I loved Ninja gaiden, I play games for the challenge.. My entertainment from a game is the challenge it offers..
The NPC MOBS can be piss easy.. dosent mean the PvP will be... and that is why im cheaking out TERA
Im a little confused about their skill and ability system, but I am having a lot of fun playing a sorceresss.
I will say the sexualization fo woman in the game is a little strange but look at the demographic its marketed to.
As a woman, I do hope as the game progresses I can get a non sexualized outfit lol, but as far as gameplay goes. Lots of fun. What I have seen from videos you get more and more naked the higher tier gear you put on ....
Chat, thats another story. Its like Barrens chat time a gajillion, but blocking is easy and I really want to waste my day away playing this game which is something I havent wanted to do in a while.
I need to know whats up with this island, and the graphics are crazy, like some sort of twisted coloring book dream.
I say try it and make your own opinion and stop letting others tell you what to think. I mean, isnt that the reason the world is so crazy to begin with?
Sorry but we like you in sexualized grafics... Looking hot ingame and Being a woman IRL playing this game will score you alot of points... You can probably fool alot of sex starved males into doing your bidding.. More so if you have a sexy voice IRL... and looking like a sexbomb ingame... Im thinking on installing a Voice distortion program for this.. and pretend im a girl and flirt my way into free gear.... You being a woman dont even have to pretend... Im jealous...
We had a dude in our corp fooled for 6 months that a friend of mine really was a girl, using a very good Voice distortion program it was Hilaroious
Your first mistake is caring what other people think about the game.
your second mistake is not having the balls to go try it for yourself and make your own mind up.
Something they do not like, could be something you love about a game, I fail to see why anyone would actually pay attention to what other people think of games. their not gaming heros that know everything for you to hang on their every word, their just gamers like everyone else.
Make your own mind up guy!. dont let some one else do it for you.
I'm slightly confused as to why looking at reviews of a product before a purchase is now a mistake?
I read reviews before buying my car, my graphics card, processor, tv, all the equipment in my small business, my health/automobile insurance, etc., etc., etc.. The OP is making an intelligent choice to do some research and ask questions before opening up his/her wallet. If the OP just accepted what the reviewers said as gospel, as some of you are intimating, then he/she wouldn't be posting here asking for player opinions/feedback. Seems like someone who is legitimately interested in the game, saw some negative reviews, and decided to double check with the player base. +1 for gathering data from multiple sources before making a decision.
I too am interested in this game, but I'm not seeing any way to get into the beta without getting a lucky invite or shelling out $50+. I guess I could go to Gamestop and see if I can pre-order for a $5 deposit, but I hate Gamestop, (and I heard they had an issue with invalid pre-order codes).
I used to PVP a lot with Taugrim in Rift but after he went to swtor and proclaimed how great that pvp was compared to rift I stopped listening to anything he says..
as for the game it's always best to make your own opinions.. since anyone who pre-orders can get into these closed beta tests just pre-order from amazon and you won't get charged you will get a key then just cancel your pre-order if you don't like the game.
I thnk the problem is that Television and Insurance reviews are... more legitimate?... than gaming website reviews. These reviewers get all kinds of free fluff from these companies. It almost seems like any big developer has these gaming sites in their pocket. They will gush over the wrost games. They call the most stale mechanics innovative. You just can't trust a word they say.
"I am not in a server with Gankers...THEY ARE IN A SERVER WITH ME!!!"
I think the OP clearly should listen to Gary and his gang and not waste the time and try the game for himself now that it's free to do so. No question about it. I mean it's more interesting to hear their filth for 1 hour than download and try the game in that time.
Just try it and make up your own mind. Didn't Mike B give SWTOR 8/10 for innovation?
He's just a cog in the corporate machine.
I will repeat again he is not the same Mike B. But they both love Swtor PvP, there is no coincidence.
Can't see why to compare TOR and TERA. TOR is a traditional RPG, TERA is an action role playing game, not the same market. Sure one can attract people from the other but they are still fully distinguishable.
Efficient PvP in an action role playing game remains to be approved though...

How can one try this game for free? I'm not being intentionally obtuse.
This "closed beta" is honestly just a few weekends of open beta. I think if you, or anyone else is actually interested in this game, you should go to a store give them $5 (which you will get back if you want to cancel the preorder), and try it for yourself.
I honestly see TERA as being a game where a lot of people will be divided on. You will either really like the game, or just rage quit. I doubt there will be many people floating in the middle.
The next closed beta is in 2 weeks, do yourself a favor and try it for yourself.
They just said in a post or two above. You can pre order from amazon then cancel your pre order. I got a family member who works at gamestop I may go up there adn see if I can get one of the backup beta keys from him.

That's why you take everything you hear with a grain of salt, and verify it through other sources.
as a long time mmo player I dont like the targetting, u have to contant aim for the mobs, its only fun for a while then it gets old and tiresome. Also u have to complete stop and use the skill everytime so it makes it even worse. The combat doesnt take more skill like many claim b/c of the targetting system, eventually everyone will be bunny hopping and the only thing that matter is ur connection speed.

you're too cute LOL
The game is fun regardless and I am looking forward to when the PvP servers go live and the political system is implemented. This should be fun, especially the outlaw concept
To the caterpillar it is the end of the world, to the master, it is a butterfly.

Gotcha. Thanks. Sometimes software sales are final with a no return policy, didn't know if that was the case here.
While i am quite disappointed in TERA, the Gamebreaker people will not like any MMO that is too different from WoW, and of course anything asian. idk what other WoW clones are coming out this year, so don't expect any kind of balanced opinion from them on any upcoming game. they will dislike them all.

The Gamebreaker people do seem to be excited for GW2, and they didn't criticize TERA for it's alternative take on combat but because of the boring quests.
From what I can see, is most of these people bashing this game are SWTOR lovers.
If that is the case, this game must be amazing, cause SWTOR sucks balls.
Lol, it's either you're biased towards TERA or biased against SWTOR because these guys rip SWTOR and even GW2 when they don't quite get the design decisions they are making.

Is this open or closed Beta? You just sparked my interest with FFA twitch based combat.
"I am not in a server with Gankers...THEY ARE IN A SERVER WITH ME!!!"
its closed beta right now you can sign up on the webbsite...
Since I have crowned myself the Undisputed King of Hardcore I will try this game and then shove my opinion of it down your throats.

I for one am glad because it is just too much effort to alt+tab to go look at porn. Thank you Tera you know what guys on the internet want.
